Biological Exhibit Of Exceptional
Merit and Educational Value
i
Heralded as the greatest edu
cational exhibition of all time, the
Mammoth Marine Hippodrome, will
exhibit in Weldon for one day only,
Saturday, November 13th, on a spe
cial constructed railroad car over
100 feet long, near the A.C.L.
Freight Depot.
“Colossus”, a 68 ton sea monster,
over 55 feet long, is one of the fea
ture attractions. This monster of
the deep has created a furore
throughout the United States, Can
ada and England, where he has
been exhibited. The country’s lead
ing educators have proclaimed the
exhibit of unsurpassed educational
value and every student of biology
and natural history should attend
the exhibit. Accompanying the ex
hibit are numerous veterans of
many years experience in the whal
ing industry, including Captain
David J. Burnett, who ha£ spent
the past 50 years sailing the “Sev
en Seas," whose lectures furnish
one of the highlights of the ex
hibit.
Another feature with the exhibit
is the world s only lady tlea trainer
and her troupe of performing fleas,
“The London Flea Circus.” Stunts
that are performed by these tiny
insects are really incredible—kick
ing footballs, riding tiny bicycles,
pushing little carts, doing a fan
dance and many other astonishing
feats.
“Sea Tiny,” nature’s strangest en
igma, known the world over as the
living “Mermaid”, has become a
mecca of interest at the exhibit.
Possessing no vertebrae or back
bone, or spinal column, she is a
puzzle for scientists and a despair
for doctors. Sea Tiny is one of
life’s tragedies and it will be up to
the public to decide whether she is
a fish or human being.
From the time you enter the ex
hibition car until you leave you will
be thrilled, startled and amazed by
the many unbelievable sights on
display.
The exhihit will remain in Wel
don for one day only and will be
open to the public from 2 p.m. un
til 10 p.m.
Welfare Dept.
Gives Milk To
126 Children
The Welfare Department of the
Woman’s Club met last week with
the Chairman, Mrs. P. A. Reid, and
reports were given of the various
activities. The most outstanding
was rport of milk furnished; at
present this department is furnish
ing milk to 136 children every
school day; this is a splendid piece
of work and results from this work
are most gratifying. This depart
ment is at present working in co
operation with others in trying to
get two children in an orphanage.
Committees appointed by the
Chairman for the year were Cloth
ing Committee, Mrs. Bahnson
Weathers, Chairman, Mrs. B. J.
Dunning, Mrs. R. H. Hundley, Mrs.
Ned Manning and Mrs. R. P. Beck
with. Christmas Cheer Committee,
Mrs. R. L. Towe, Chairman, Mrs.
A. E. Akers, J. C. Hoyle, J. M. C.
Covington. This committee takes
care of an opportunity case at
Christmas, and various other ways
helps to make the holiday a hap
I
pier day.
The Hospital Committee with
Mrs. W. A. Thorne as Chairman,
Mrs. Bahnson Weathers, Mrs. Wil
liam Wolhar and Mrs. Upshur Hig
ginbotham, visits the hospital and
if there is anyone there from out
of town who has no relative to look
after them they take flowers and
magazines, and at Christmas they
see that every tray to each patient
has a Christmas card.
In many ways this department is
doing a wonderful work and going
about it very quietly; whenever you
can lend them a hand, send them
old clothes and donate to the milk
fund and help them with their
work.
The following members were pres
ent at this meeting: Mesdames R.
P. Beckwith, Bahnson Weathers,
A .E. Akers, J. M. C. Covington, R.
J. Dunning, Upshur Higginbotham,
R. H. Hundley, J. C. Hoyle, W. H.
Wolhar, Heath Lee and Ned Man
