f PAGE 8 I THE TORCH A department conducted for The Warren County Memorial Library By MABEL DAVIS The Librarian Visits Library Miss Margaret Gilbert, field worker for the State Library Commission, spent Saturday morning in Warrenton. She was much interested in the new library building and commended the work of the building committee. For the Jones Memorial Shelf Three new books have been added during the week. Two of them, "The Christ of the Mount" and "Christ and Human Suffering," hv Stanley Jones, were given by friends interested in Lenten reading. The third, "Culture in the South," edited by William T. Couch, has been placed with other books given in memory of W. Brodie Jones. The book made up of a series of some thirty contributions by as many writers, each well versed in his special field, and covers the various phases of Southern life. It will interest students of sociology especially, I think, but will also prove interesting to persons following the trend of literature, fine arts, religion, handicrafts, or the future of the farmer etc. In short, the book will interest all students of Southern life and culture, whatever one's special subject may be. I regret to say that this is the last book we shall be able to add to the Jones Memorial shelf. The entire fund?$135.00 turned over to the library by friends of the late Brodie Jones to be nvested in books in his memory, has been expended. From it books have been added from time to time over a period of several years and a very fine collection added to the library. In it may be found many fine biographies, books of travel, books about i science, fine arts and many fine novels. There are more than onehundred volumes in the collection. Not all, however, were purchased through this fund. The Encyclopaedia Britannica and Woodrow Wilson's History of the American People were given by the Jones family. Other fine volumes have *?~-3-JKtr livincr mit*. ,"if ueen auucu kij alb ? town. Things One Does Not Forget Some of the truest expressions of understanding, like a certain woman's small gift on one memorable day, are fraught with so much love one does not soon foitget them. Three persons left silver at the desk recently?"for the book fund"? they said. Another, a country gentleman, sent us a load of wood the day it snowed. Each of them or their families had previously contributed to the library. Every week we have similar encouraging and unostentious expressions of cooperation. To such friends we are largely indebted for whatever measure of success the library may attain. Manson Items Mrs. Justin Rankoff of Oxford visited friends here last Thursday. Miss Prances Dowling of Raleigh spent the week end here with her mother, Mrs. J. W. Dowling. Mr. John Adams spent the past week end in Durham with relatives.

Don n Sarber, 27, boy sheriff (above), has the grim task of guarding live mem- 1 bers of the Dillinger gang, who in b October in a raid to free Dillinger, killed his father, Jesse Sarber, then ^ sheriff. n o .?.. Today and ? Tomorrow I By Frank Parker Stockbridge . P Jl" V / si SAMP .... good eating a When I was a boy down East one of the familiar figures on the streets of our town was the "hulled corn man." He peddled from a huge can what the Indians taught our Pilgrim ancestors to make and to call "samp." It was Indian corn 01 parboiled in lye, so that the outer s skin came off and the kernel was white and fluffy and very good y< eating, especially, I used to think, tt when served with Porto Rico mo- 01 lasses. si In the Middle States the Indian a' name for this processed corn was sr "hominy", and farther South the /name began to be applied to coarse- ec ly ground corn which had been put b; through a similar process, and Ii which the folks of the Deep South is now call "grits." cl When I hear anyone talk of the li: deliciousness of hominy, alone or bi in the familiar combination of "hog IV and hominy" I am never sure IV whether they are talking about our p Yankee "samp" or the southern cl "grits." But I do know that both d are mighty good eating. RABBITS .... and fever T Twenty years ago the small animal life of some of the Alaska is- ^ lands was wiped out by a volcanic ^ eruption. This left the Indians in bad shape, for they lost not only an important food supply but the foxes whom they kill for their pelts, also had their food curtailed. Now the b Government is planting colonies of n rabbits on these islands, in the ex- y pectation that they will increase ^ rapidly and restore the balance of animal life. y What I want to hear is that the a Government has found a cure or A prevention for the rabbit fever V which is often fatal to man who = handle rabbits or rabbit pelts. A Maine guide died the other day from this disease, which he caught from a fox he had skinned, after . the fox had been eating a rabbit. ' It is a curious infection which seems to be spreading all over the country. GOLD .... to market The price of $35 an ounce for gold has, naturally stimulated gold mining everywhere that a trace of the precious metal has ever been found, and in some places where they have only guessed it might be. One of my neighbors, a few miles from my farm, has taken out a license to dig for gold in the Berkshire hills. I hope he finds it. They are getting gold in paying quantities from several abandoned mines in North Carolina. Before the gold strike in California there were profitable gold mines in many parts of the Atlantic Seaboard. So much gold was mined in the Carolinas and Georgia that for years the Government maintained a mint I at Dahlonega, Georgia and Charlotte, N. C. I Now there is no more gold coin age, but anyone who finds an ounce ' of gold anywhere can get $35 for it from Uncle Sam, and some folks '> are going to strike it rich somewhere. MUSIC , neighborhood sings , I am not yet convinced that the radio is a good thing in all respects. People do too much listening to proi fessional singers and musicians, make not enough effort to produce : their own music. Not that it is not . refreshing to listen to first-rate music?which we get too seldom "on the air"?but it ought not to be i too easy. There is more social value, more fbnt. mntps fnr Invp r?f home life r and neighborly spirit, when every1 body in the household, or a group ; of neighbors, get together, in a 1 home or a church or a town hall and try what they can do to make a little music for themselves. I I know of nothing that is so heart1 warming in its effects as a neighborhood sing. A THE WA l-H Clum Members To Go To Capital Four 4-H club members, two girls ,nd two boys, will be selected now hortly by the Agricultural Extenion Service of State College to atend the National 4-H club camp ,t Washington to be held June 14 o 20, inclusive. ''The national camp is held anlually, and is regarded by extension workers both in Washington and in he 48 states as the leading club vent of the year," says L. R. Harill, state club leader. "To be seleced as a delegate to this camp is enerally considered as the greatest ionor that con come to a 4-H club rember.
