LAKEVIEW NEWS SANDHILL FAIR STATE WIDE BERKSHIRE JUDGING CONTEST (By Mildred Harrington) ABERDEEN, Sept. 7.—Following Mayor Henry Page’s proclamation setting aside September 4-9 as clean up week in Aberdeen, a committee composed of Mrs. H. A. Page, Jr., Miss Lois Barkley and Miss Emily Walker, the efficient Community Service Worker, put on a clean-up parade Monday morning as the ini tial feature of the week’s program. Some of the more striking charac ters in the parade were Anti-Dirt, a characteristically fat and spotless negro mammy, impersonated by Dr. R. D. Sanford, and her small boy. Shining Sun, in the person of Billy Bowman. Miss Lois Barkley was an exact duplicate of the energetic lady on the old Dutch Cleanser can. Irvin Pleasants was excellent as the win dow washer from “Spotless Town ’ and Lee Cockman was ec^ually as good as a double-header clov/n in a Before-and-After clean-up costume. Dan McKeithen, representing Page Trust Company, Mr. Macon repre senting the Home Furnishing Com pany, and Linwood Pleasants, repre senting the Express Company, each had a unique advertisement. Keith’s Store, the North Carolina Hardware and others sent clever placards. Per haps the best thing in the parade, how^ever, was the impersonation of the Gold-Dust Twins by Ralph Leach and Jones Macon, Jr. The costumes for this number were designed by Mrs. W^. A. B1u6. At eight o’clock Monday evening, men, women and children gathered at the graded school building for an enthusiastic community sing l^ed by Mr John Park of Raleigh. Special numbers, featuring the smaller chil dren were presented under the di rection of Mrs. Ernest Pleasants.

DAIRY EXPERT WORKING HERE DIED LIKE A MASON Robert Bruce, an Edinburgh lad who joined the 5th Royal Scots, was awarded the D. C. M. for conspicious bravery near Krithia, in volunteering to reconnoiter a wood which was held by the enemy while exposed to heavy fire, and bringing back a valu able description of the enemy’s posi tion. In the subsequent assault he was wounded and died in a hospital at Alexandria. The military authori ties sent home his little Testament, in which was written the following prayer: “O Lord, teach me how to live. If • Mr. R. L. Haggard of St. Louis, Mo., arrived here a few days ago and will be in this section for some time, making a survey of dairymen and cow owners in this vicinity. He is a graduate of the Alabama Agricultural College, having made a special study of dairy problems, such as the care of the dairy cow, feeding for maximum milk production, a se lection of cows for high production and other fundamental problems. In addition to his college training Mr. Haggard has had much experience in feeding and other lines of dairy work in Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Ala bama, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina. While in Lakeview and Vass he ex pects to call on every cow owner and discuss these problems. His head quarters will be at the Lakeview Store Company, in Lakeview, the local distributors of the famous Checkerboard Chows. This firm has made it possible for people interest ed in the dairy cow to get the bene fit of Mr. Haggard’s expert advice and experience. We used to think that the main idea of a college was to fix it so a fellow wouldn’t have to work for a living. It has been our observation that the man with a wooden leg gets along better than a man with' a wooden head. it be Thy blessed will that I die, I pray Thee that it be as a Scottish gentleman, a worthy Master Mason, and a true British soldier. Strenght- en my courage that I may look un daunted in the face of my foes. Wash me, make me pure in the Blood of the Lamb, for Jesus^ sake. Amen.” The orderly who waited on him ex claimed, “If I could only hope to die a beautiful death like Bruce! There must be something in it to make a man die like that.”—Ex.
