VOLUME THE — V PILOT >)■ NUMBER 1 Is a Paper Devoted to the Upbuilding of the Sandhill Territory of North Carolina Address all communications to THE PILOT PRINTING COMPANY, VASS. N. C. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1924 SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 PICTURE SHOW BY LiniE RIVER CO. Vass Concern to Give Free En tertainment Next Week A novel and interesting entertain ment will be given in the tobacco warehouse at Vass, Wednesday even ing, November 26„ which is the night before Thanksgiving. One of the nov el features will be that it is absolute ly free, up to the limit of the ware house, which is about 1500 people. This entertainment is provided by the Little River Store Company of Vass, aided by Joe E. Burger, the poultry man of the Purina Mills company. Mr. Burger will deliver a short lec ture on poultry production, feeding and management. The purpose of the lecture will be to explain a picture show of several reels illustrating the growth and development of the chick en from the time the egg is set until it is hatched, the chicken grown and a factor in the poultry yards. Through the evening music will be given by a stringed band and an old I X fiddlers’ convention. This fiddlers’ convention will be an interesting af fair in itself for some rather capable artists have been secured. The Lit tle River Store Company is taking care of all of the expenses, the pur pose being to arouse a greater interest in making the poultry industry far more prominent than it is in this sec tion and to show how each poulary- man can produce more dollars from each hen he is raising. One of the feature pictures shows a “Miracle in twenty-one days.'* The film shows each step in the forming of a baby chick inside the shell from the mo ment the germs spring into life, un til the fully developed chick breaks its way through the shell late on the twentieth day. A wonderful accom plishment in motion picture photog raphy is here represented. Before your eyes the whole drama of the creation of life is unfolded. The germ begins to grow, the blood veins reach out into the white portion of tife egg, the lungs, feathers, eyes, feet gradu ally take shape, the tiny heart be gins to beat and finally the little ball of fluff begins to work its way into the world. This is one of a series of four pic tures produced by the Atlas Educa tional Film Company. Over two years were spent in preparation. Many obstacles had to be overcome as nothing of this kind had ever been attempted. The other reels include the “Mys tery of the Yolk,” “Fowls in Histo ry,” “The Egg Factory,” and a come- dy depicting the adventures of an am ateur poultry man. This film always brings a roar of laughter and ap plause. The Purina Mills Company is show ing these pictures in different sec tions of the country, but Vass is the only point in North Carolina that has secured the exhibit. The Little Riv er Store Company handles a large output of the Purina Mills amounting to several cars a month, and was wil ling and able to arrange for the pro duction of the pictures at Vass. The show is educational and hignly enter taining, and being absolutely free Mr. McCrimmon, manager of the store, is preparing to entertain a right full house. direction as instrumental players of a well drilled orchestra.” New York Times: “To New York ers it iwas a delight to hear the Vol ga Boatmen’s Song as it has never beer^ sung before.” N^w York Times: “The chorus not only sings but hums, and by means of fine gradations of tone and accent often suggests a string orchestra.” DOROTHY Von CANON DIES AT WEST END Daughter of Prominent Family; Popular in Church and School Work N^ York American: “Perfection of attack, beautiful tone and correct intonation, whether the singing was full voiced or hummed, are only a few i)f the outstanding achievements of thg Russian Choir. Thpe was a time when, to hear a conca*t by a chorus, was to spend an entire evening listening to church mu sic, rdigious chanties and hymns and the clissic chorol works of Handel and Bach, but the Russian Symphonic Choir will introduce a new kind of choral music never heard before on such programs. In aiidition to church music and folk songs,; this choir will offer arrange ments of popular light classics, orig inally tvritten for the piano and known to every music lover. These arrangements have been made jossible by Mr. Kibalchich’s or iginal deas applied to choral singing and this for the first time a prelude by Chopin or a song with words by Schumain will find a place on a chor al program. The Few York Journal said: “Mr. Kilbalchich uses his voices like so many wind instruments, and the sing ing of his chorus resembles some ideal sort of organ, whose widely varied qualities he attends-to with an exqui site delicacy of registration. The chorus not only sings but hums, and by means of fine gradations of tone and accent often suggests a string or chestra.” A ra! e treat is coming to the Sand hills and will not pass this way again. Don’t miss it. Owing to lack of space THE PILOT regrets, very much, that it is compelled to omit some articles of news sent in. It with sincere regret we chronicle the seemingly untimely death of Miss Dorothy Virginia Von Canon daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Von Canon, of West End, N. C., which oc curred shortly after ten o’clock, Fri day morning, November 14, 1924. Al though she had not been well for a week, not even those nearest her real ized that she was seriously ill until about ten o’clock the night before she died, when she was taken violently ill. Three doctors, one of whom was a noted surgeon, and a nurse were call- but in spite of all that skilled and lov ing hands could do, she died. Dorothy was horned December 12, 1908, and had almost reached her 16th year. She joined the Methodist church in 1916 during the pastorate of Rev. F. S. Love. She has always lived a consistent Christian life. She was faithful to the various organizations of her church. Her Sunday School Superintendents tells us that since the Cross Crown System was instituted five years ago her attendance was per- DOROTHY VON CANON WOiWS CLUB HAS MEETING Cameron Correspondent Attends Birthday Dinner — Other Cameron News RUSSIAN SYMPHONIC CHOIR CAPTURES NEW YORK It is very seldom that a new artist or a new musical organization appear ing in New York receives the unani mous vedict of the metropolitan press but when the Russian Symphonic Choir made its unhearalded New York debut in two concerts last April, ev ery criticism on both occasion was more than favorable. It is impossible to quote here all comments but a few excerpts will suffice. New York Herald: “The perform ance deserved admiration for its ac curacy and perfect control, each of the women and men of the choir seem ing as much under the conductor’s lo The Womans Club held its regular meeting in the school building on Fri day afternoon November 14th, with 26 members present.

She was superintendent of the cradle roll department during the summer months of 1924. She was made president of the Juni or Epworth League upon its organi zation in 1918, and held that position almost continuously until promoted to the Senior Epworth League in 1923. In this organization she was an ac tive member serving in every possible way. She was also an active member of the Christian Endeavor Society of the Presbyterian Church, and just as in"^erested in the succe s of this so ciety as in that of her own church. In her school work she was just as faithful, always at the head of he" class. She was considered the best all ’round girl in the West End School until this year when she became a student of the Jackson Springs high school. During her first three months in this school she was elected secre tary of the Junior Class, treasurer of Athletic Society, vice-president of the Girls Literary Society, captain and star player of the girls basket ball team. Dorothy possessed a winning per sonality. She was kind and thought ful to all, she had splendid tact in managing children. They obeyed her almost always without question. She has gone but her influence will live; many will be better for having known her. Though her years were short she accomplished very much. The writer in conversation with Rev. Mr. Groves, the pastor said: “In the going away of Dorothy Von Canon the church and community looses one who was more universally loved than any girl I have known. This was natural, though, because there was such a rare charm of per sonality, and beauty of character about her that to know was to love her. For one so young she was un usually independent of what others thought about her, yet she had such an amiable disposition, coupled with such an unselfish devotion to her Christian duty that she compelled the admiration of every one. “She was a dutiful daughter and sister,, and a devoted Christian, al ways ready to answer the call of her church or pastor with a punctuality rarely found in older persons. She has gone from us, but she still lives not only in the beautiful ‘beyond,’ 5ut also in the lives of those who tnew and loved her.” I Her Sunday School Superintendent \ paid her this tribute: “The most beautiful Christian char acter I ever knew, having joined the church when about eight years of age, and living every day consistent with nhe vows which she had taken. As superintendent of her Sunday School had the opportunitity of finding out uhe things she cherished most, being possessed with a great love for the small children she seemed to find the most pleasure in teaching them the Christ as revealed in nature, and His i;)ower to save. . While she was very devoted to all the various organiza tions of the church she was most de voted to the Sunday School, not hav ing ntissed a session for four years and ten months. Circumstances some times would carry her away from her own Sunday School but she would al ways find her way into a school where- ever she happened to be, bringing home with her a certificate of the fact that she had attended Sunday School. We will miss her in the Sunday School, her beautiful voice, her smil ing face and her kind words for ev ery one, and our hearts are bowed with grief, but if we could only look beyond the mist and see her as she is our sorrow would be turned to joy.” Dorothy’s father and mother said: “She always has been the sweet est child, never giving us anxiety, and at all times perfectly obedient, since her conversion at less than eight years old. She seemed to care nothing for the frivolous things of life, always ex erting her every energy in going af ter the worth while things. She had a most wonderful voice and never lost an opportunity of using it. When alone she would be singing or whistl ing. She strowed sunshine every where she went, it was as the sun poping out on a cloudy day for her to come into a crowd of her friends with her “Heythere,” and smile. “She was so strong and healthy we thought of nothing but her future which seemed to have so much in store for her that when the sununons came like lightning out of a clear sky we (Continued on page 8) HEALTH AND WELFARE SOCIETY ORGANIZED Association to Sell Tuberculosis Christmas Seals to Raise Funds SAYS THE PEOPLE CAN’T BE TRUSTED That They are Like Women, Al ways Variable and Changing Mr. Stacy Brewer, Editor ! The Pi’ol: Study and ob ervation compel me to take exception to your editorial, “You Can Always Trust the People.” The peop'e positively cannot be re lied upon when they have vital mat ters to decide. The theory that the majority is eternally right has long been exploded. Common sense tells us that it is absurd to attribute more wisdom to the gieat mass of people who act blindly than to the smaller ! number of those who act as the result of much mature thought and reason ing. Now the action of the people in our elections is the action of the ma jority of voters. Fortunately, the ma jority has often been right in our country. Conversely, as sequential events have sometimes proved, the thoughtful minority has been right. The pages of history, from before the assasination of Julius Caesar, thru the burning of Huss at the stake, and thru the failure of America to enter the League of Nations in 1919, are abundantly sprinkled with blun ders made by the people. No, Mr. Brewer, the people cannot always be trusted to do the wisest and the best thing. Varium et mutabile semper popu- lus!
