Page Fourteen BADIN BULLETIN ^ THE COLORED VILLAGE ^ Our Honor Roll The following are some of the colored boys who have gone into the service of our country. Others will be given in the next Bulletin. Greeting To the men, women, and children of the negro race of Badin: Dear friends:—We have been within your midst for eight weeks, and it has been our pleasure to visit you in four hundred of your homes thus far. We have worshiped in your different churches, and v attended meetings of several of your organized" bodies. We have enjoyed them, and are encouraged by your efforts for improvement and development. We greatly appreciate and are grate ful for the benefits and opportunities offered us all here by the Tallassee Power Company, and we rejoice that many of us are uniting our efforts to make the most of these opportunities. We are to be given space in The Bul letin, and we invite you to send to us brief reports of the happenings among us. (Miss) Mary A. Lynch Welfare Worker (Mrs.) Cecelia M.

This is thirty-nine per cent, more than the first day of the first year, 1917-1918. Total enrollment by years: For School Year Boys Girls Total 1917-1918 83 87 170 . .. First Day—September 18 1918-1919 42 69 111 The teachers are: Principal, Miss Mary A. Lynch; First grade. Miss Lucy Wallace, Greensboro, N. .Q.; Second grade, Mrs. Julia Rouse, Badin, N. C.; Third, fourth, and fifth, Mrs. Florence Harris, Badin, N. C. Continuation School The continuation school is a part-time school for the boys, twenty years and under who are working for the Tallassee Power Company. The Company will give every boy of that age, who is a steady worker, five hours per week to attend school, with full pay for the time in school. Let everyone register, while off duty, at the school house. The teachers are there from 8.30 a. m. to 3.00 p. m. Special courses will be provided for all who attend. Medical Supervision. Dr. Atkins will have special charge of all school chil dren. By keeping the school thoroly sanitary and by guarding against con tagious diseases, we hope to keep the chil dren well and strong. Music. The pupils will be given a course in public school music. Miss Lucy Wallace wilMirect this work. Both Miss Wallace and Mrs. Rouse are competent to give private lessons. Every child between the ages of six and twenty-one years, who is not at work, is expected to attend school. If your children have not started, see that they do so at once. See, also, that they are regular and punctual in attendance. A single lesson lost interferes not only with the child’s work but with the work of the whole class. Three of our Badin -soldiers visited relatives and friends this week, from Camp Greene. They are Caesar Gran, Caun Broadway, and Charlie Lilly. We are told that they and several others will visit us soon again. They will be invited to the Community Song service. We hope they tell us something of their Camp life. At any rate, let us all be present, and honor their presence with home folks. II. Lilly Luther White It. lUimkin 1). Sparks William White Dave Murphy Hen I^yrd Mose Carson W.

They were from Charlotte, Salis bury, High Point, Greensboro, Durham, Sedalia, and Winston-Salem. They were driven over the town, and were highly pleased over what was seen. As many as the limited time made it possible to hear speak, entertained the hearers by giving their splendid impres sions of Badin, and expressed their in tention to come again. The most repre sentative woman was Rev. Mrs. Florence Randolph, of Jersey City, N. J. She remained over night, and preached a wonderful sermon, the theme of which was, “Lost time can never be regained.” The colored population in the village will rriake an attempt to hold a little fair in the Community Building, Tues day and Wednesday, October 15 and 16. A full meeting was held on Monday afternoon, the seventeenth, to discuss whether or not it is w'orth while to hold a. fair. Encouragement from Mr. Thorpe, Mr. Wake, and others has given us inspira tion, and all who were present at the meeting were anxious to have it. The women’s part was planned by de ciding upon eight or ten booths, with a committee for each. The men will be invited to meet with the women next week, and the officers will be elected. Even in its infancy, it is evident that we can show in the fair a Kitchen De partment, a Home Department, a Poul try Department, a Farm Department, Stock, Cattle, and Swine Department— all on a small scale. Let all unite and make it a grand success.
