• • It was reported among the younger set here
that Rosemary Walker, 16 year old girl reported
missing from the home of her aunt in Enfield, had
been found in Whittakers, happily married. Police
were requested to be on the lookout for the young
lady, who left the home of her aunt, Miss Gladys
Crawley, saying she was going to the home of an
other relative. When she did not show up, a search
of her room is said to have revealed a note saying
she was leaving but that her relatives were not to
worry.

serve a special project there on the Unadjusted

SOUTH ROSEMARY;
BELMONT DELIVERY
With the establishment of a rural
postal station in South Rosemary,
and several extensions on Rural
Route Number 1, effective the first
day of December, rural patrons of
the local post office will enjoy the
best service in the history of the
Roanoke Rapids post office, accord
ing to L. G. Shell, postmaster. Mr.
Shell recently pointed out the need
for the station in South Rosemary
and the extensions on the rural
route when a survey was made in
the matter by a post office inspec
tor.. With the exception of South
Rosemary the greatest number of
people affected by the extensions
will be those residing in Belmont.
The postmaster also calls atten
tion to the fact that those people
living on the Weldon road between
Ransom’s corner and the local de
pot can also be efficiently served
by placing rural mail boxes on the
north side of the road. These boxes
can be secured at a very low cost,
it was explained. Mr. Shell also
called attention to the fact that the
rural carrier will cover that tei-i
tory on the Littleton road between
the railway tracks at the depot and
Daniel’s corner in South Rosemary
each delivery day after having
made: a complete trip of the route
up to that point. The carrier will
come into the city on the Weiuon
road and instead of crossing the
tracks will turn to the left on the
Littleton road, serve the people on
this road to Daniel’s corner, visit
the rural station for the purpose of
picking up mail for dispatch, and
return over the same road into the
city and to the post office. Boxes
may be placed on both sides of the
road. ;
The additions to the route and in
structions as to the proper locations
of boxes are as follows:
Leaving the post office the rural
carrier will enter Franklin Street
at Seventh Street. Going north on
this street it is necessary that pa
trons place their boxes on the east
side of Franklin Street. Leaving
Franklin Street, the carrier will en
r
ter Bolling Road and travel thereon
to Cemetery Road passing the cem
etery into Belmont, he will make a
left turn into Walnut Street and
travel south back into Bolling
Road. All boxes on Bolling Road
and Cemetery Road must be placed
on the north side of the road in
order to be on the carrier’s right
hand. On Walnut Street, in Bel
mont, all boxes must be placed on
the west side of the street in order
to be served.
After leaving Walnut Street, as
stated, the carrier will travel Boll
ing Road to Bolling. All boxes on
this road must be on the north
side of the road.
Entering the Littleton road at
Hannibal Shearin’s corner, the car
rier will travel west on this road
for approximately one-half mile,
turn and retrace to Shearin’s cor
ner. Patrons on this extension of
the route may place boxes on either
side of the road.
Completing this part of the route,
there is no further change until the
carrier arrives at Pierce’s corner
where he will enter the Smith’s
church road and travel along this
road to Pulgham’s gate where he

To the Editor:
As Americanization Officer of
Shaw Post No. 38 of the American
Legion, Weldon, N. C., I have been
asked by the National and State
headquarters of the American Le
gion to call upon the churches,
schools, civic organizations, and
civic and religious leaders of Hali
fax County to join us and cooperate
with us in the proper observance of
American Education Week, Novem
ber 7-13 this year.
The first American Education
Week was observed in 1921. The
idea of a nation-wide observance
of a program planned to interpret
the needs, aims, and achievements
of the schools of the American Pub
lic grew out of a series of confer
ences which began in 1919 between
the Americanism Commission of
the American Legion, and officers
and committees of tht National
Education Association.
The Great War disclosed the ex
tent to which the human resources
of the nation were handicapped by
lack of education and skill to serve
the country adequately in time of
war. It is equally apparent that
those who are unfit by reason of
lack of knowledge to serve ade
quately in time of military crisis
are even more unfit to render ac
ceptable service in time of peace.
Citizens were appaled then at the
number of young men selected for
military service from some of our
states who were illiterate. Soldiers
particularly were impressed by the
large number of their comrades
who could not understand com
mands given in the English lan
guage, read a newspaper, or write
a letter home. Immediately fol
lowing the war, the returned sol
diers took the initial steps in pro
posing a plan for stimulating inter
est in the work of the schools.
“Education and Our National
will turn and retrace to Pierce’s
corner. Patrons between Pierce’s
corner and Fulgham’s gate may
place boxes on either side of the
road.
Life” was selected as the general
theme for American Education
Week 1937. This topic was chosen
because of the increasing evidence
that public enlightenment must be
emphasized even more vigorously
than in the past if our democracy
is to stand.
The day by day program is as
fol'ows:
Sunday, November 7—Can We
Educate for Peace?
Monday, November 8—Buying
Educational Service.
Tuesday, November 9—The Hor
ace Mann Centennial.
Wednesday, November 10—Our
American Youth Problem. !
Thursday, November 11—Schools
and the Constitution.
Friday, November 12—School O
pen House Day.
Saturday, November 13—Lifelong
Learning or Education beyond the
Schools.
liiese topics are sufficiently gen
eral for every school to be able to
use some of them. We have no
doubt but what the schools are

being called to their attention in

to make the week a success.
