AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY.
Summary of the Year’s
Work.
Summary of the year’s work of
the American Legion Auxiliary,
Shaw Post, Weldon, N. (;.
Ii is (he aim of (lie Auxiliary to
help die ex-soldiers in every pos
sible way. Ward A, with At pa
tients, at Oteen has heen given to
the Weldon Unit. Most of these
hoys are bed patients The gov
ernment furnishes the bare neces
sities of life, as for the pleasures
and luxuries of life, that is left to
us, and depends on how well we
do our part. In the past year un
der the leadership of Mrs. W. G.
Suiter, the Auxiliary lias done the
following work:
Last Christmas the Auxiliary
gave the ward A a Christmas tree
with full decoration’s, A nice gift
for each boy was sent, also small
gifts for each, such as wind up
toys, favors, etc They always
send these little gifts home tor
their children to enjoy. In many
cases the gifts received from the
Auxiliary are all the Christmas
they have. Since they have given
all for us, it is not only a duty for
us to give but a pleasure. Their
nice letters of appreciation thank
ing us for the pleasure and happi
ness that we have given them
makes our work seem lighter and
worth more, especially when they
thank us for the happiness they
would not have had but for us.
On Valentine Day we gave them
a parly.
We try every month to put on
a party or a dinner tor them, to
make life more bearable and to let
them know that the glory of what
they have done and given is not
forgotten.
Taster we gave the boys a din
ner.
On Mother's Day we sent them
In July we sem them $50.00
for sun-parlor furnishings.
Hallowe’en each received Hal
lowe'en favors.
Thanksgiving we look 34 pies
to the ex-soldiers at the State farm.
Thanksgiving we gave our ward
ai Oteen a dinner. The dinner
was given in the sun-parlor ud
joining their ward. It was served
on a long table. The centerpiece
was a large pumpkin cut in basket
shape, filled with fruit. There
were candle-holders holding yel
low candles on each end of the
table and yellow cups filled with
nuts at each place as favors- Sev
en of the boys being unable to leave
their beds were served from trays.
They had home-cooked turkey,
dressing, cranberry sauce, cream
ed potatoes, rice, hot rolls, butter,
cream and cake.
In November a check for $44.78
was given through the churches
for the State Rehabilitation Fund.
Sent $5 to the Soldier’s Home
in Washington.
The Auxiliary in orderito meet
some of these expenses had a booth
at the fair and cleared over $80.
On the Poppy Sale the Auxiliary
made $100. The poppies were
made by the Auxiliary members.
We are planning a nice Christ
mas party for our ward. The boys
have requested outing pajamas as
their gift. We are going to send
each boy a pair of pajamas, and
also a Christmas stocking filled
with small favors,(which they send
home.)
The Auxiliary welcomes all who
qre eligible for membership-young
or old, to join immediately and
help us in our great work.
We will appreciate donations at
any time from any of you who will
help us. You could not use your
money for a better or more needy
cause.

We have sought t

have attempted to 1 ■ n! some i eal • el '.ace to tin- loiii
muniiy. It is now our pie ut to appt oach the t.
0 the year with the knowledge that our message ol a
Mf rry Christm is to you I
s tge from you to us
From those whose gleefully await the coming of
Santa Claus to those whose hair has been silvers I
by the hand of time, there is no sweeter season, nor
a nine when the heart abounds with a great; r love
for all humanity. There is no time when we leel
that we want to live closer to each other, or to share
each other’s joys and sorrows to an even greater Jr
gree. Could there be stronger evidence that at this
same season away back more than 2000 years ago
there cante into the .vorld h One who was the high
est embodiment ol peace’-' Can the hardest heart fail
to soften beneath that stat off in the east that i
men followed and found the hope of the world cud
dled in a manger?
If there is not peace and joy and happiness and
contentment in all the w >rld now It is because men
have refused to tie themselves together in a spirit of
brotherly love. If there is not happiness in your
own heart it is because you h ive not sought to put
happiness into the hearts of ilio . ■ about you in the
year fast coming in a close. Mow, at the. season, it
is given you to real!, e this, and to join with your fel
lowmen in renewing a pledge oi love and friendship
for each other, in hoping for each other a greater
measure of happiness than has yet been known.
if the year has prospered you, we are glad. If it
lias been tinged with dark clouds here and there, our
sympathy is still with you, as well as our hope that
the sun of the Christmas season will drive away all
shadows and that your path will be light and peaceful
on through the rears.
W't; bring to you, and to tin e near . id dear to
you, our best wishes for a Merry Christmas. We
wish you Happiness, we wish you Prosperity, we
wish y< u Success in ail yt ut nnd - tkin b it best

Terriffic Explosion.
About S o'clock on hist i liurs
! day night there was heard a terri:
| ic explosion. People left their
I homes and business places and
j gathered in the streets, not know -
ing what had happened. Some
said the water tank had tjlleu,
others said it was an earth.puke.
The trouble was located near the
old round house of the S. A. 1 It
seems an empty gasoline tank was
bring shifted and the engine had
dropped some live coals on the
track, which in some way, ignited
the small quantity of gas left in the
tank. Had the whole tank full ex
ploded, it would have blown up
Halifax and the adjoining counties.
1'iie tank was the only thing dam
aged.
A Christ mats I lint.
We want to take an inch or two
of space to oifer a suggestion to
the Weldon man or woman who
has a mother living but who can
not be with her this Christmas
day. You wsll, oi course, remem
ber her with gift; and she will en
joy it. But there is one gilt she
w II appreciate above all else, that
will mean more to her than all the
presents you can make or money
buy. And it will keep joy in her
I heart through all her yeais to
I come. Write your mother a
Christmas letter.

Accepted Call.
Rev. (’.. 11. Jordan, of Crescent
City, Horida, has accepted a call
as Rector of the Lpiscopal Church
and vvill enter upon his ministry
on either the first or second Sunday
in January, 1925. Mr Jordan
preached in Weldon about a month
ago and made a very happy im
pression upon all those who heard
him preach. He is a native North
Carolinian having been born in
Granville county and we wish him
a successful ministry in Weldon.
Honored.

manager of the 1925 foot ball

A Most Estimable Young
Woman Has Gone To
Her Reward.]
l in funeral services of Mrs.

ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. John
j ston, who died in a hospital in El
kin on Saturday morning, Dec.
1.1, were conduct d front the Bap
tist church ttt Weld in on Monday
it.1 ruing, Dc 15th, and were
b.‘at tuu1, ■.. et and impressive.
As ill ■ , .sket was being taken in
die church the choir sung softly

De
l)i Foe prayed most
1 lingly and Rey. (i. W. Perry
I read several Scripture selections.
A quartette composed of Mrs. Poe,
Mrs. R. T. Daniel, Messrs. Mitch
I ell and Draper sang “I lie Uld
■ Rugged Cross,” and Rev. Mr.
i I lays, pastor of Mr. and Mrs.
James at their home in lilkiti
spoke a few words in loving mem
| ory of her life and character since
j her marriage saying, in part, she
i was a cherished daughter, a loving
mother, die queen of her home
and an earnest devoted Christian.
Mrs. Daniel and Mrs. Poe then
sang “Whispering Hope," after
which the services were concluded
at the grave in Cedarwood ceme
tery. The songs sung were of her
own selection with the addition of
"My Faith Looks Up to Thee"
which was sung at the grave.
A large number of relatives and
friends are grieved and distressed
over her seemingly untimely death
but they sorrow not as one without
hope knowing that “Sometime tic
will Understand” why these be
reavements come.
Mrs. James was a member of
the class of 1916 Weldon High
School but left the class at the end
of her junior year and entered
Meredith College from which in
.-.lilinion she graduated v- itli dis
tinction and honor. She was an
expert in the finer arts of painting,
drawing, etc., and was most pro
ficient in Domestic Science and
Needle Cralts and to make a home
of Iter own was a ioy and delight.
She was most happily' married in
June 1931, to Mr. Lari (I. James,
a promising young lawyer of 1:1
kin who, with her father, mother,
two brothers and two dear little
boys are left to sorrow that she has
gone.
She had been a Christian since
childhood and was a leader in her
church work. The funeral from
the church where she was married
a little le-s than four years ago re
called her lovely, happy face as
she was united at this same altar
to the man she so much loved. In
speaking of her death it was said,
"it was like the close ol a Perfect
Day looking to the sunrise of to
morrow when all will be well.”

Doing A Good Work.
Mrs. K. Williamson has been •
doing fine work with the primary
department of the Sunday School
of the M. K. Church in Weldon.
She has enrolled about sixty-five
of the very small children who
meet in the basement of the church
where she is assisted by other la
dies in their entertainment and in
struction. These little folks have
raised nearly $100 this year, $15
of which has been appropriated for
missions and the balance judicious
ly expended. Their Thanksgiving
offering amounted to nearly ten
dollars. This was sent in cute lit
tle purses to about thirty children
at the Orphanage at Raleigh who
are between the ages of five and
eight years and have neither father
nor mother. This was for “spend
ing money ' for Christmas and
each child's name was on a purse.
Mr. Barnes has written how de
lighted the children were at having
even a little money of their own
to spend. Mrs. Williamson
will give her little ones a Christ
mas tree at the approaching holi
days and the parents ol the chil
dren are cordially invited to visit
them in their class-room on any
Sunday,

report- -Imwed dial much valuable
work has been done by both. The
opening of the street with a sand

paved side walk to the cemetery
which the City Fathers have had
constructed is due largely to the
influence of die Civics Department
of the dub and the ladies have re
cently sci crepe myrtle trees along
the entire way. The Music Club
very successfully gave die "Old
Folks Concert" recently, the pro
ceeds of which, about one hundred
dollars, has been used in helping
to pay for a piano for the Weldon

which was directed by Miss Chand

of reading the origin and romance
of several favorite old hymns, by
Mrs. Henry House and Mrs. H.
