TO FEATURE CITIES A COUNTY
Roanoke Rapids and Halifax County
Will Be Featured In A Special Num
ber In Pictorial Rotogravure, To Be
Issued In The Near Future By The
Herald.
i
Timed to take advantage of the
national advertising of the state
coitservation commission for North
Carolina, this graphic pictorial
presentation of the city and coun
ty’s claim to recognition should
attract widespread attention and
center the interest of visitors,
homeseekers and Investors on the
unbounded opportunities and ad
vantages so abundantly possessed
by the community. With the ob
ject of carrying out this specific
mission, the edition will be given a
wide circulation in the state and
nation, besides a blanket distribu
tion in the county itself. The story
of the city’s industrial develop
ment, together with a portrayal of
Halifax’s progress along all lines,
as attractively set fort in this un
usual special number, will probab
ly be a revelation to the citizens
residents of this section, and cer
tainly of great interest to the peo
ple of the state and nation.
This special number will be is
sued in the modern tabloid size,
and stitched to give it permanen
cy. In its convenient form, at
tractive treatment of subject mat
ter, and comprehensiveness, the
edition will make an ideal piece of
community publicity for use by the
commercial and civic organizations
of the county for the next several
years. A large number of extra
copies will be printed and supplied
to the various civic and commer
cial bodies of the county for this
apecrric purpose.
There will be no display adver
tising in this attractive edition. It
will consist solely of pictures in
rotogravure, showing scenic views,
points of historical interest, indus
tries, educational institutions, cer
tain of our outstanding homes and
estates, public utilities, the civic
and commercial development of
the progressive towns in the coun
ty, resorts, attractions and assets
as it will be possible to include in
a work of this broad nature.
It is the purpose of the man
agement to make this edition
countywide in scope, a presenta
tion of Halifax County as a unit,
and the progressive towns of Wel
don, Scotland Neck, Enfield, Lit
tleton, Halifax and other commu
nity centers, will be included in
this work on the same basis as
Roanoke Rapids.

John Kerr
At Academy
-$
Congressman Johfl H. Kerr, of
this District, was honored in
Washington this week by the At
torney General of the United
States and Mr. Hoover, Director of
the Bureau of Investigation, who
selected him to participate in the
National Police Academy gradua
tion exercises. In extending an
invitation to Judge Kerr Mr. Hoov
er stated: “Your interest in the
welfare and activities of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation, in
cluding its work of training select
ed law enforcement officials so
that they may go back to their
own departments and give the ben
efit of their instruction to other
members of their organizations, is
greatly appreciated. I am there
fore, particularly anxious for you
to be present on this occasion to
witness a portion of the result.'! of
our joint efforts when diplomas
will be awarded to the graduates”.
Judge Kerr was accompanied by
his Secretary, J. G. Butts, Jr., of
Halifax.
The Department of Justice, for
several years, has selected a group
of outstanding Police officials and
law enforcement officers and pro
vides for them intensive expert
training in an effort to raise the
standards of the Police Depart
ments of the Country, and to co
ordinate the activities of the va
rious municipal, county and State
Police. This training by the Gov
ernment, made possible by the
joint efforts of Judge Kerr and
his colleagues on the Justice sub
committee on Appropriations, is
considered one of the most effec
tive programs undertaken in re
cent years for crime prevention
and the prosecution of criminals
in the United States.

Subject Sunday: “Life”.
“Sacrament” was the subject of
the Lesson-Sermon in all Chris
tian Churches and Societies on
Sunday, July 9, 1939.
The Golden Text was from
Psalms 51:10. “Create in me a
clean heart, O God; and renew a
right spirit within me.”
Among the citations which com
prised the Lesson-Sermon was the
following from the Bible: “And as
they were eating, Jesus took bread,
and blessed it, and brake it, and
give it to the disciples, and said,
Take, eat; this is my body. And
he took the cup. and gave thanks,
and gave it to them, saying, Drink
ye all of it; For this is my blood of
the new testament, which is shed
for many for the remission of
sins.” (Matt. 26 : 26-28.)
The Lesson-Sermon also includ
ed the following from the Chris
tian Science textbook, “Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
tures” by Mary Baker Eddy. “The
true sense is spiritually lost, if the
sacrament is confined to the use
of bread and wine. The disciples
had eaten, yet Jesus prayed and
gave them bread. This would have
been foolish in a literal sense; but
in its spiritual signification, it was
natural and beautiful. Jesus pray
ed; he withdrew from the material
senses to refresh his heart with
brighter, with spiritual views.”
IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of our dear
baby, Mildred Irene Hock, who
died July 13, 1934.
You are gone but not forgotten,
Your memory lingers still,
There’s a vacant place in our home
Which can never be filled.
Oh, we loved you, dear baby,
But God loved you best;
He took you home to heaven,
With the angels to rest.
We miss you in our home, dear
baby.
We miss your smiling face;
| Yet we know that God knew best,
We dry our tears today.
For well we know if we are faith
I ful,
We shall meet you bye and bye.
Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Hock.
