LOCAL YOUTH DROWNED SUNDAY ******************** ***** Funeral Services For Russell Lee Tuesday Afternoon Young Man’s Body Not Found Until Monday By Divers Russell Lee, 22-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Lee of 900 block, Rapids Street, was drowned in Roanoke River at a point near “Rook’s Island,” about three miles West of the bridge last Sunday afternoon. Companions stood near by, where a “Brunswick Stew” par ty was in progress, but were prac tically helpless in any attempt to rescue the young man. He was seen to go down in th ewater only once. Diving crews found his body about 50-feet from the point where he is thought to have gone under, Monday after searching diligently for many hours About 15 or 20 young men were enjoying an outing on Rook’s Is land on the Ronnoke River last /Sunday afternoon when Young Lee, with another companion decided to take a swim in the river. After swimming around the bank Lee decided to swim across the r iver, which is thought to be about 200-yards distance at that point. His companion, becoming alarmed that he could not make the dis tance, ran to the nearby island to warn his friends. At about that time, it seems that a young Cor nell boy, who was standing on the “flat” anchored at the North bank, called that he had seen Lee’s body go under the water within about 20-feet of the other shore. Young Lee was never seen again alive. The companions obtained a canoe and paddled to the spot where he was last seen in an at tempt to rescue him, but their searching and diving was to no avail. Young Lee was not seen any more after he went down the first time. Russell Birdsong, one of the group was assigned the duty to go to town and notify Lee’s parents and bring back aid. He was ac companied back to the spot by Breaks Harvard Tradition ——■ — i i ——^4 Dr. James Bryant Conant, new President of Harvard, broke a tra dition at that university by posing for this photograph and welcoming reporters—a rule Dr. Lowell (retir ing) never violated. Coroner Billy Williams and Offic ers Massey and Gray where a dil igent search was instituted for the drowned man, using hooks and diving, but darkness overtook them before the body was found. Monday morning, Coroner Wil liams secured a motor boat and returned to the vicinity with a crew of about thirty men to locate the body. After searching all up and down the banks and rafts of the river in boats, using long poles, the body was at length discovered by a party of men on the “flat” but they were unable to handle the craft so as to retrive the body, and had to return to the spot in a small row boat and locate the body again, after which divers brought it to the surface. The riv er ranges in depth to 15-ft. along that point. Upon a thorough examination of the body by the coroner, marks where he had been scratched with hooks while they were searching for him were revealed, but there were no marks to indicate foul play, and the coroner reported he \vas convinced that it was a friend ly, orderly crowd of boys simply on a Sunday afternoon outing, and that the version of the tragedy given by Lee’s companions was true. Funeral services were held Tues day afternoon, conducted by Rev erend D. M. Sharp, at the Williams Funeral Home at 2 o’clock. Inter ment was in the family cemetery in Southampton County near Boy kins, Virginia. Russell Lee was the son of Mr. and Mrs J. P.

Upon this ambition many great industries are founded—cosmetics, the industries manufacturing women's clothing and accessories, and many others. All of these aids to beauty can be a tremendous help, but without good health all that ingenuity can devise and money command are of little avail. ' Good health, particularly in this modern, hurried, high-tension age is largely a matter of sound living habits, especially a soundly planned diet. A diet that supplies all the elements required to keep the sys tem functioning properly is the very foundation of beauty, yet how many women lavish time, thought and money on artificial aids, while neglecting this es sential that is more important than them all. In no respect is the diet more fre quently lacking than in the foods that sup ply the “bulk” or thfc bulk your system needs—let tuce, cabbage, carrots, chard, whoU wheat bread and cereals, and bran Bran is particularly convenient and helpful. It can be bought in anyj grocery store at any season of the, year. In addition to providing bulk, it provides iron needed for the making of good, red blood, and to prevent nutritional anemia; also Vitamin B, helpful in toning thft intestines. Finally, bran can b*. added to the menu in an unusually wide variety of appetizing ways. ( .Many enjoy bran as a cereal, wit a] milk or cream. Others like to adj it to other cereals, or use it as u topping for stewed fruits. Sprinkled over soups it gives a pleasing ami novel touch. It can be used as at! ingredient of many kinds of breads,' cakes, cookies, muffins, in waffles and in puddings. Below is a sug-j gestion for its use in a dessert! that is as appetizing as it is healthful.
