THE ROANOKE CHOWAN TIMES. THURSDAY. MAY 27, 1926 s J»irri3%t'^«rcnanK:.'«tesK:;*a n .f^Tr‘XJX■?2a^um>c«c7«tJKX^l'a COMMUNITY CLUB IN SNAKE BITE Bertie County’s First Consolidated School In 1804 under the inspiration of Democracy preached by Thom as Jefferson, a church was or ganized by the Baptists of the Lumber Bridge section, and given the name of Republican. The Republicanism of Jefferson’s day is the Democracy of our day It was not a political party, but a state of society; the relation men should bear to each other; equal opportunity. The Republi canism of our day is strictly political. It carries with it no semblance of Jeffersonian Re publicanism. Names are queer things. Labels often mislead. A few years ago I urged my Snake Bite friends to vote a special tax and to have a better school. I drew a picture of an ultimate consolidation of several schools; a well equipped high school at Republican Church where the boys and girls could fit themselves for college on equal terms with the town and city boys and girls, “It will never be.” said several doubters. I asked that my property, very remote from the scene, be in eluded in the boundary of the special tax district. The tax was voted. The leaven began to work. Consolidation came. A well equipped brick building was erected. The trucks began to haul. A faculty of six commen ced to teach. The first class to complete the eleventh grade was certified on may 13:h. 1 lay no claim to these results, i simply rejoice that I am seeing the ful fillment of a prophecy. It takes no wisdom to see that such re sults will ever follow such causes On Friday night, April 30tb, I was highly privileged to attend two meetings at Snake Bite; one the monthly meeting of the Com munity Club, and the other the banquet of the Senior and Junior Classes of the high school. No more significant event occurred in North Carolina that night. The Community Club has been organized some weeks, it has in its keeping the general good of the community; homes, roads, school, health, pleasure, well being of all the citizens of the township. “Big program,” you say. I reply “Yes, but little programs get nobody any where” Little results flow from little ef forts; like no results come of no efforts. Mrs. W. F. Earlv is. the very able President of the Club. She is an experienced leader. We all know her splendid work about Bertie County in Home Demon stration work and other fields The roll call by Miss Grace Brown was answered by a large num ber. The custom of the club is to have a response from those answering the roll call; the giving of a helpful suggestion for community betterment A variety of suggestions came, better roads, a fuller faculty 1'or I ha school; organization for the community fait; raising home supplies; butter eggs, mils, chickens, quit buying what can he raissri; tnore horse power and machinery and less man pove? going to waste; electrical power for rural home-; more raasonable erjj.vmenc for the young peoptf; a wtl! kept cemetery Ot'ohi g od suggestions esca; e me. The whole gamut of betterment Wbs sounded. Me.vsra A V. Cobo, Thomas Alston; Cling Baztmore, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Spruill, Thoniis Barber, Lonnie Bsze- more and others of the club and Supt, H. W. Early were promi nent in helpful suggestions. It is known that I will pro bably represent Bertie County in the next legislature. If so, I shall introduce a measure which I have in preparation creating regulations for community de velopmeni; and assigning to the Departments of Education and Agriculture the duty of organiz ing and su.staining such clubs; and giving to such clubs a voice and control in the local affairs of the township; restoring to the people local self government in their own development, social, education and domestic. The banquet of the classes was held in the splendid auditorium. The long table was beautifully decorated; and displayed the colors of tne Senior Class, gold and white Toe class flower- white rose—dsintilv contained a bountiful supply of mints. Supt. R M. Peele was toastmaster. The following sophomore girls efficiently se’'yed — Misses Zula I Cobb. Eniiy B>zemore, Ivory !

This reputation has been won, first, by the longer life, slower depreciation, and freedom from repair that result from Chevrolet’s modem design—and, second, by the oil and gas economy of Chevrolet’s powerful valve- in-head motor. Hundreds of thousands of Che'vrolet owners will tell you this car is not only powerful, speedy, comfortable and smart appearing—but that you can enjoy its exclusive advantages at a cost which is lower than you imagine- Come in — get a demonstration and let us show why this is trae.

This brought a response from Miss Estelle Jones of the graduates Clinton Whitaker toasted the faculty, and was responded to by Princi pal R. M. Peele. These toasts and responses were in rhyme and brought ap plause. Mr. H. W. Early re sponded to calls and urged the special tax increase. I was honored by a call and responded A most gratifying situation was the outpouring of compli ments for Mr, Peele and his »x cellent faculty — Misses Vashti Hoggard, G'^ace Brown. Eliza beth Whitley, Nellie Edwards and Ellen Marshall. The failure to keep Mr. Peele at the head of the school will be a serious loss. 1 stated there, and state here, that he has one of the best organized schools, with organized community back ing it. in rural North Carolina The Community Club sh-juld see to it that he remains, Francis D.
