Songs, folk games, and a play let, “Milestones,” from the life of Juliette Low preceeded the presen tation of cards and pins significant of membership in the organization. Miss Frances Newsome, with the help of Miss Eileen Fisher, Troop Leader, presented membership cards to Miss Ann Marie Fisher, Assistant Troop Leader, and Mrs. E. B. Smoot, Troop Committee Member.

Mrs. George Taylor, Organization Chairman, reported that four new troops have been started as fol lows: Troop 5: Misses Eileen Fisher, Ann Marie Fisher and Mrs. H. J. Cole as leaders. This troop meets on Wednesdays at the Girl Scout Hut. Its troop committee is com posed of Mrs. E. B. Smoot, Mrs. Hicks Hill, Miss Nancy Wolhar, and Mrs. J. J. Williams.

Troop 9 and 10, Brownie and Intermediate Troop respectively of Vance Street School have not yet registered, but membership dues are rapidly coming in. Miss Thelma Garris has charge of Troop 9 and Mrs. Perry Smith with Miss Nancy Sperling, Troop 10.

M.DAVIS Who Is Brother Of Col. R. B. Davis, Enfield Editor C. McDowell Davis, new presi dent of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, is the brother of a Hali fax County citizen, Colonel R. B. Davis of Enfield, editor of The Enfield Progress. President Davis lives in Wil mington. The Atlantic Journal has the following to say in its editorial column about him: “The Great Atlantic Coast Line Railroad system has a new presi dent. He is Champion McDowell Davis, who has been executive rice president and was elected last week to succeed George B. Elliott, who has become chairman 3f the boards executive committee. “Like most railway executives, Mr. Davis began at the very bot om of the ladder. He started 49 rears ago as a messenger boy in :he freight depot at Wilmington and worked his way up, step bj stop. Unlike most presidents, ht has never been employed else where except during the emergen cies of war. In 1898 he served ai a volunteer in the Spanish War and in 1918 he was drafted by the United States Railroad Adminis tration, serving here in Atlanta on the Southern Freight Traffic Com mission. Immediately upon the return of the roads to ownership control, he resumed his post as one of the key men of the A. C. L. “ His career is one of the count less testimonials to the fact that there is no limit to the opportuni ties facing the ambitious, energetic and competent. Mr. Davis had not the benefit of formal educat tion beyond a grade school, nor was his career promoted by in fluence of family or connections. He rose by mastering each job and by preparing himself for the one above. “In the readjustments that must come out of the present chaos of the nation and the world, there will be myriads of opportunities for those who have energy, char acter and courage. From the Cruelty and the wastage of war, there is a new civilization to be built and it must be done by the youth of today. Those who may find their formal education in terrupted need not be downcast. Lack of college training cannot stop those who are faithful to their hopes and their ambitions." ENFIELD CHURCH CLASS Mrs. W. B. Burchett and Mrs. Thad Harris entertained the Dor cas Class of the Enfield Baptist Church in Mrs. Burchett’s home Monday evening with sixteen members present. Mrs. Kesler As kew presided over a short business program, before which Mrs. Ross Cadle conducted a devotional les son. Refreshments were served al the close of the meeting.
