Work has already started, the cost is said to be about $35, 000 total. It should be finished by school starting time. Have you been down to Luther’s Food Center to register your guess on the bag of flour he has? If you come the closest to it, you get the flour. Judging will be on Aug. 2 We got a response to our call last week on who has tomatoes in their gardens. Mrs Ralph Cruser told her husband to tell us that he has had big, red ripe tomatoes in his garden since the Fourth of July. He said he had corn, too. Who else, huh? Call us, please. E G Macon tells us that he ex^ pects to make about 3/4 of his tobacco crop. The dry weather hurt it, but the recent rain brought it out. Hopes to start priming in a week or so, he said. Judge W T (Bill) Hatch of Ral eigh and a Superior Court Judge, will speak at the Boy Scout Bar becue Dinner, Troop No. 307, on Friday night (tonight). Scoutmaster Clyde Coppedge reports that string music will also be furnished to further your enter tainment. The time is 7:30 at the Community House, tickets are on ly $1.25 per plate, and you had better make arrangements to be there. Nassif Is Toastmaster Coppedge said that Ellis Nassif wil act as toastmaster for the ev ening. A full menu is planned, with pork barbecue, potato salad, cole slaw, iced tea, and hush pup pies being ofered to all takers. This barbecue will help the boys of the troop get to summer camp. Buddy Holding says that there is one crop that likes hot dry weather — cotton, and that the crop expectations look good. Tom Holding’s Drug Store is our nomination for coolest spot this week. Went in there and near froze with only a tee-shirt on. Ben’s of Wake Forest has good pews for you men — he is starting his summer clearance sale. He lists lots of real bargains. See his ad in this issue. If you like barbecue — and who doesn’t — Scoutmaster Clyde Coppedge of Troop 307 invites you all out to the Community House on Friday night at 7 for a real barbecue supper. (We have already bought two tickets.) The boys are using this project to help pay their expenses to camp, and you can help them to camp -r- and get a good supper, too. If we don’t get some oil put on our dusty street by this newspaper shop, we may not be in business next week. Truly, the dust is really terrible — and we have to spend a large part of each week cleaning machinery, when we could be working on printing news. We hope some kind Town Father will read this plea, and come to our rescue. We are really serious. RECORDER'S COURT Roger Chalk, slander, 8 months on road.

Continued on Back Page A group of Scouting men repre senting Occoneechee Boy Scout Council met to discuss the 1953 budget. They held the dinner-meet at the Raleigh S & W Cafeteria. Included at the meeting were Dr. C T Wilkinson and his guest, W S Allen, of Wake Forest. The purpose of the meeting was to co-ordinate a report to the Com munity Chest for incorporating the Boy Scout fund in the Drive. Harold Makepeace, chairman of the Council finance committee, led the,^ meeting. It was pointed out that each of the 12 counties in the Council must bear its propor tionate share of the expenses. It was further pointed out that this county (Wake) in 1952 made only' 82% of its quota, while one other county went over its quota by a, large percentage. Wake is asking the Chest for $25,000 this year, it was reported. This is more than has been asked for in previous years, because of necessary expan sions in procuring field workers. Scouting On Uptrend Several contributing factors are forcing scouting on an uptrend, it was stated; including, the “war- babies” coming of age. Thus, new* field workers are necessary if we are to see scouting progress in this council, it was stated. Wake county, with a population of 136,450, has 1949 boy mem bers, with a percentage of council population of 22.1. Also, it has a percentage of 27.7 of council membership, and a proportionate share of the budget of almost $25, 000. Chatham county is the small est with 165 scouts and a budget of almost 3,000. Wake is definate- ly the largest, with Durham next. People Must Support Scouting The importance of Wake’s making its proposed budget was stressed if scouting is to be con tinued and expanded in the Coun cil, it was pointed out. The peoples support in the fall Community Chest dirves will make it possible for scouting to progress. Thelma W. Wall Dies Funeral services for Thelma W. Wall, 42 year old Rolesville farm er who killed himself Thursday af ter brooding several months over the death of his son in Korea, were conducted from the Rolesville Baptist Church Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock by the pastor, the Rev.

STONEY (REEK BOY SAID DROWNED Chief of Police Floyd Whitman, Jr., reports the accidental drown ing of John Edward O’Neil, 17, of Stoney Hill Church, Route 1, Wake Forest. Chief Whitman and a rescue squad, including a Boy Scout res cue team of six scouts and a lead er from Camp Durant, rushed to a pond near Ray’s Service Station toward Woodland church area. After about an hour of search ing for the body of O’Neil, one of the Camp Durant scouts, John Peterson, recovered it. It was reported happening on Wednesday afternoon. Artificial respiration and the Wake Forest respirator were used to no avail. The body was remov ed to Beddingfield Funeral Home, it was reported. You should really see some of the work being done in the Arts and Crafts program. Many have made bracelets, ear rings, lan yards and many molds of plaster paris. In addition to these act ivities they have done some finger 'painting and painting of the molds. The small children have been doing some nice coloring work. We still would like to have differ ent kinds of molds if you have some available. Don’t forget the playground is still open even if the beginner swimming lessons are over. Intermediate Swimming About 40 students showed up Monday morning for the inter mediate swimming lessons. Junior Life Saving will start Monday morning. July 21 for those inter ested in this phase of the program. Mrs. Shirley Greene will instruct these students. The only require ment is that you be twelve years old. We hope that there will be a large number of students to avail themselves to this. The intermed iate program will run for three weeks. We hope every one will learn the seven different strokes and be able to use at least four of them with effeciency. Also the fundamentals of diving will be taught. Beginners We would like to say a word of thanks to the many instructors supplied by the Physical Educa tion Department of the college. Also to Mrs. Greene, Mrs. Pike, Mrs. E. J. Parrish, and Miss Gretchen Clement. Without their aid the program would not have enjoyed the success that we feel it has. Teen Age Club Much to every one’s delight a ice cream party was enjoyed last Thursday night by the members of the club. Most of the club mem bers went swimming first and then ice cream was served. Mrs Wilker- son has consented to come this, week and do some instructing in dancing. We have planned also in the future a skating party, a dance (square), and a scavenger hunt. The attendance has been very good and it is hoped that the attendance will grow from week to ^eek. The Recreation Commission has se cured new loudspeakers and a turn table for our use and we sincerely appreciate this. Softball With only one game being play ed between each team last week, because of bad weather, the action in the adullt league was slowed down somewhat. Of those games played we saw Royal beating Bur- Mil, REA beating Faculty (1st game faculty has lost) and Lions winning by forfeit over the Legion This week should really decide who is going to be the winner of the league this summer. Don’t let the summer go by without you seeing at least one of these soft- ball games. We believe that if you see one you will come back for more. They play on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 6:00 p. m. Junior Softball The junior softball team beat- Louisburg 14-3 on the local dia mond last Wednesday afternoon. The game was called after the fifth inning because of rain, but it was enough to be counted as a game. They play Franklinton here this Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 p m. Pvt. Smith Is Training In Infantry In Germany WITH U S FORCES IN GER MANY — Pvt. Oscar Smith, Jr., whose parents live at 413 Briggs Avenue, is now training with the 1st.
