The mem bers of the three Sunday schools here, the Baptist, Methodist and Presbyte rian, enjoyed a union picnic at Lake Waccamaw Thursday. The trip was made in automobiles. At an early hour that morning happy excited crowds of small boys and girls could be seen hurriedly wending their way to the various churches where each school was to assemble for the start. And per haps no less excited were the older young people and the parents as prep arations -were being made for an all day picnic. The honk-honking of the cars, mingled with the happy voices and 1jhe sound of the church bells an nounced that 8:30, the hour for leav ing, had arrived. Some, however, were so eager to make a long day of it, that not waiting for the appointed hour were out bright and early and were, at the lake by 6 o'clock. Having made the trip to the lake without accident the first thing that attracted the at tention of a majority of the picnickers was as might be supposed, the water, and in a short while, despite the broil ing sun, a number were seen enjoying bathing, diving, swimming, or as the. smaller children, wading. A bountiful lunch was spread in the pavilion and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The af ternoon passed off too quickly and at 5 o'clock the signal was given for the homeward start. It was a tired, sun blistered but happy crowd who return ed after a most delightful day. Mr. and Mrs. Pait spent Sunday in Wilmington with relatives.

One of the most attractive features in connection with the Red Cross cam paign in our progressive . little town was the display made this week by the Whilden & Mace Drug Company.

They had a wounded soldier laid out on a couch, bandaged up in true hospital style. At his right sat a Red Cross nurse in her uniform and a surgeon stood on the left, ready to administer "first -aid' 'to the sufferer. Displayed on neat glass shelves were rolls of various kinds of bandages, towels, wash rags, etc., and hanging in the rear were to be seen the various garments needed in the Red Cross hos pitals for the wounded and suffering soldiers. To make the scene more re alistic, these gentlemen had placed a small table near the doctor's hand, on which was to be found open and ready for use, absorbent cotton, iodine, ban dages, glass measures, etc., and to add to the attractiveness of the display, one side of the window was furnished daily with a fresh supply of cut flow ers.
