ROXBQRO P. T. A. in Session last TUESDAY P. M. The Parent-Teacher Association of the Roxbaro schools held Its first regular session last Tuesday afternoon In the Central 8chool. It was the largest and most enthusiastic grQi?t of teachers And_ parents that has ever assembled. The good spirit of the occasion was furthered by group singing led by Miss Maude Mon tague. ???I Mrs. J. H. Hughes, the new presi dent. presided and conducted the regular business session. . Several items were voted on by the mem bers. Possibly the most important was the objective for the year. Miss Hattie Burch-in a very im pressive manner gave,the devotion al,., Her thought" was thaf^from the master teacher's formal training, from the master teacher'^ definite and implied Instruction of others, from the master teacher's own di vine personality; from our own ex perience and observation, we learn that being far surpasses any me thod of leading ever devised, and yields the biggest dividends, of any investment in child and student welfare. Mrs. W. P. West made a very ef fective talk on "Why We Should Have a Parent-Teacher Associa tion." She emphasized the im portance of parents and teachers making a cooperative study of child welfare. Greater education in child phschology is needed. Mrs. West showed by timely illustrations how misunderstandings between parents and teachers can be eliminated. She insisted that cooperation be the keynote and fittingly closed her talk with Kipling's words; "It ain't the individual Or the army as a whole. But the everlastin' teamwork Of every bloomin' soul." ALLENSVILLE P. T. A. HAS A GOOD MEETING An assembly of a hundred and fifty teachers and parents enjoyed a most delightful evening at the first meeting of their P. T.

BETHEL HILL BEGINS FOOT BALL PRACTICE For the past two weeks twenty two hopeful youngsters have been working out dally on the J. H. Mer ritt Pottball Field ugd?r the guid ance of Coach Cannon. With only three lettermen from last year's squad Coach Cannon is having to build a comparatively new team. Although the team will be the light est which Bethel Hill has ever had it is expected to be the scrappiest eleven to ever wear the gold and black. Coach Cannon is expecting good work from P. Brandon, who is shifty and fast. He is counting on W. Shotwell and TSagen to cover a good bit of ground in line plung es. H. S. Barnette and Tlngen are pitoving to be good punters and blockers. A look at the ends show Wo^y Rogers and Pentecost taking the honors; they are both hard hitting and fast. Day and Walker are do ing the best on tackle and should prove to be stone wall On defense. G. Jones and Walter Rogers are both new but are developing fast. Ccach Cannon is fortunate in hav j ing a cool, steady center In Captain D. Jones. Some of the reserves who should run some of the varsity players out of their positions before the season jis over are: P. Dixon, G. Harris, Woody, Robt. Montague, Parham. Hayes, R. Montague, Long, Perkins, Wilkinson. White, and Manager "Cotton" Powell, In a practice game last Thursday, i Bethel Hill chalked up three touch - ? downs against a much heavier team composed of former Bethel Hill players. Barnette and Brandon i counted for two touchdowns by go 1 ing through the line, while the | other was made by a pass from Barnette to Pentecost.

Martin passed this life. He was just a voune man who had just started out In life. He was a man of Christian ability and tried to walk In the footsteps of his Savior and was ready at all times to lend a helping hand. .Why God took you from us we do not understand. Ood took you back to heaven to com , plete His holy band. Dear brother, we loved you but Ood loved you best that's why He took you back to heaven, that you may be at rest. |. Dear brother, how sfe miss you and think of you more and more. We hope some day to meet you or> that happy golden shore. We often think of your silence. We often 1 call your name. There Is nothing left to answer but your picture In the frame. Though It grieved us to part wltfi you, as the patient Job said, blessed is the name who giv eth and taketh away. We can never forget the smile you left us when you departed this life and as you i closed your eyelids in death, as if to say, While I draw this fleeting breath and my eyes are closed In death and I rise to worlds unknown and behold me on the throne, be of sin doubly cured, saved from sin, and make me pure. Let us not grieve as them that have no hope in Christ. May God's richest blessing dwell upon hfe heartbroken family. His memory still lingers forever. His loving brother, Canada Martin. o Agriculture Building Under Construction At Bethel Hill A new agricultural building with large class room, work shop and Y. T. H.

Dunn GOD IN HEBREW HISTORY Lesson for Sept. 30. Heb. 11:32-40 Golden Text: Psalm 145:13 This is a review lesson when we rehearse the warnings and ideals taught by the kings and prophets with, whom we have companioned this third quarter. The lesson text is taken from that magnificent chapter in the letter to the He brews upon the heroes of the faith. Now we have come wry close these three months to certain fig ures of high s?nture in the com pany of God's, chosen. Amongst the kings we have met Asa and Hezekiah. And of the school of the prophets Elijah, Elisha, Amos, Ho sea, and Isaiah have shared their courage and high insight with us. As we think of these noble figures shining so brightly in the pages of the Good Book we are at once re minded that they were selected and trained by God Himself to accom plish their significant work: The God of the Bible does not preside over a society on a dead level of equality, but He chooses certain of His children to occupy a high place of influence above their fellows. The technical name for this doc trine is predestination, a word very dear to the heart of John Calvin, "the guide of republics," as Ban croft, the historian, called him. It has wonderfully advanced the cause of civil liberty, because it has pro duced a succession of leaders who have felt responsible to God alone, and so haw not hesitated to defy men in high position. The prophets we have just studied were certainly men of this stalwart type. And down through the ages God has given to mankind worthy successors. Take so stout a champion of freedom as John Knox of whom Queen Eliza beth's ambassador said: "The voice of this single man can put more heart in us than five * hundred trumpets. But we must not forget that God has chosen you and me. We are of the elect. We are privileged folk or dained for the great task of com pleting what Amos and the other Bible prophets began long ago. As the close of our lesson text says, God "would not have them perfect ed apart from us." According to an English scientist, every man is worth $8,000 to his country at the time of his birth. A DRIVE ON ILLITERACY I Plans of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration to aid unem ployed teacners and at the same time reduce Illiteracy, seems to be a more desensible spending of gov ernment money than many that have been undertaken. The Census Bureau found 4,338,000 illiterates In the United States In 1930. If these were scattered through i the general population rather even ly. Bui the Illiteracy belts are rela and giving them elementary school ing would be .difficult and very cost ly. But the Illiteracy belts are rela tively well defined, the bulk of the Illiteracy being in the southern I mountain regions, and, this makes a teaching program more practicable than it would otherwise be. It plans to employ, it is indicated, 40,000 teachers in.the work. This will be good news for that many unem ployed teachers, and the service they 'can render should be valuable?Los J Angelas Timfc J .
