WILLIAM R. DAVIE SCHOOL IS SCENE OF MUCH ACTIVITY - A Canning Project Will Furnish WPA Lunch Room The William R. Davie School, a few miles from the city on Highway 158, is the scene of much activity as the WPA canning pro ject operated in connection with the lunch room is going full blast, supplied by vegetables from the garden project of the school. 600 quarts of snap beans have already been canned for use by the lunch room during the com ing year, and this week five white women employed by the WP A are busy putting up soup mix tures of corn, tomatoes and but ter beans. Last year the school s lunch room depended to a great extent on surplus commodities, and some of the products supplied by the federal agency will be used again this Fall. However, the majority of the food will come from the garden project which has been supervised during the summer by Vocational Agriculture Teacher J. S. Liles, who has been assisted by a WPA laborer doing some part time plowing. Three acres of the school pro perty were planted at the close of school in corn, snap beans, to matoes, butter beans, irish potatoes and cucumbers. The vegetables grown on the plot will all be can ned for use by the WPA lunch room, which last year supplied free lunches for indigent children and meals to those able to pay for five cents each. An average of 200 meals were served each day by the lunch room last year, and a record was kept of the weight of the under nourished children supplied with lunches. State health officials helped for several weeks in plan ning the meals for the children, and in keeping the records. Marked improvement was noted at the end of the period in each case, and a better balanced diet is being plan- | ned for the coming school year. Efforts of the school to offer a greater quantity of more whole some food for meals for the child ren are the outgrowth of the visit by the health department workers, a doctor and nurse, to William R. Davie School. Their suggestions are being given full consideration in planning meals to be served at the school in the future. Last year was the first year of operation for the William R. Davie School at its present location, and it was able to secure a WPA lunch room immediately. This year the lunch room will be much better because of the WPA labor, and food supply.

Subject Sunday: "Love”. “Truth” was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Christian Sci ence Churches and Societies on Sunday, July 27. Among the citations which com prised the Lesson-Sermon were the following from the Bible: “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unright eousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Be lial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people (II Corinthians 6:14-16). FSA Loans In Northampton Now Available Farm Security Administration Supervisor Guy Britton announced today that qualified farmers in Northampton County who at pre sent do not own farms and who de sire to apply for a loan to pur chase a family size farm under provisions of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture’s tenant pur chase program should file their ap plications immediately. Seeking to give as many eligible farm families as possible an op portunity to own a farm of their own, the Department of Agricul ture is accepting applications for loans which may be made any time between new and June 30, 1942. Applications should be filed at once for loans to be made during the fiscal year, so that the approv ed families will have sufficient time to select farms and make plans for the 1942 crop, FSA Super visor Britton said. Farm families who filed applica tions after July 1, 1940, for loans this year, but which were not ap proved because of lack of funds, will not have to file new applica tions. The Northampton County Tenant Purchase committee, composed of B. D. Stephenson, C. J. Garris and Horace Ellis, will review the ap plications again and notify the families if additional information is needed. • • • > :: Calvary-Thelma 71 IIHHI I i-H-t-M-A Mrs. E. S.
