STREET PROJECT BONDS OF ROANOKE RAPEDS ARE EASILY SOLD AT PREMIUM - i $113,000 in street improvement bonds issued by Roanoke Rapids were sold Tuesday by the Local Government Commission at a pre mium of $79 with the first $68,000 of maturities to bear 314 per cent interest and the remainder of 394 per cent. The bonds were pur chased by Scott, Horner and Mason Inc., of Lynchburg, Va. The good financial standing of Roanoke Rapids is said to be re- j sponsible for a quick sale at pre mium and at a low rate of interest. It is reported that there were no bids on some issues offered by the Commission. The money is to pay for the street improvement project now under way in Roanoke Rapids which calls for the concrete pav ing of Hamilton and Jackson Streets and for all side streets leading into Roanoke Avenue from those parallel streets. The project also includes the widening of Roa noke Avenue from curb to curt, which has just been completed. 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Streets were curbed and guttered while the con tractor was awaiting more equip ment from another job. This week saw the start of the paving of the center 20 feet of 14th which will continue down Hamilton Street for the entire fourteen blocks. It is the plan to then pave the center strip of Jackson Street. These center strips will be thrown open to trafifc as soon as the concrete is properly set and the work of curb, gutter and side strips will be the last done, along with the side streets. Car and truck drivers are again requested to observe barrier signs and stay off all “green” concrete until all barriers have been remov ed. Blocks will be thrown open to traffic just as soon as possible. Mrs. Deaton Hostess Mrs. N. G.

STATISTICS Others have statistics to give us concerning population in which we are told the population is get ting too large for the jobs avail able. The theory they bring out does not even have to be examin ed for though there are millions of young people looking for work, the population is actually being leveled off. Henry Pratt Fair child states an amazing fact, which you will find in Harper’s for May: “There are 600,000 fewer children under ten years of age in the U nited States today than there were fifteen years ago. So far as this group is concerned, the entire growth of our population for a decade and a half has been more than wiped out. And this is only Children Enjoy Housework When “Helping Mother” Is Made Fun WHY do some children like housework, and why do others use all their ingenuity to escape any part of the homemaking re sponsibility? There always have been children ■who did their daily part in “helping mother” with full willingness and interest, Just as others always have resisted any effort to bring them into the dally activities. Now psychologists tell why there even may be both kinds in one family. They explain, too, how mothers may interest children in being eager assistant homemakers, and how the Junior members of the family can be kept that way. “The desire to play is uppermost in the minds of little children,” the authorities point out. "The desire to Imitate is just as strong. The | average little girl wants to do her washing when the family washing is done. She wants to iron when she sees the ironing being done. “If she is given actual household articles, even only one or two hand kerchiefs, to wash and iron, a start ' has been made toward arousing her interest in household responsibili ties. “In the home with a household ironer, for example, it is, literally, j ‘child’s play’ for a little girl to watch her mother seated at the machine and then to begin taking over a share in each week's ironing. The imitative instinct and the play desire still are strong in her. The mother uses both to enlist the child In a routine feature of homemaking which is made pleasant for her by the fact that difficulty and drudgery hare been banished from it.” ALEX. TOTING DWmUNS CO. ■ PHILADELPHIA. PA. I part of the story. There are more than 1,600,000 fewer children un der ten now than there were five years ago. Evidently the striking change in our population trend has been accelerated in the past few years.” CARD OF THANKS The members of the Missionary Society of the Rosemary Methodist church wish to take this oppor tunity to thank each person who contributed either in time or do j nation to the success of the church I supper which was served recently.
