The fifth Sunday song service is in Bkts eighth year of existence and in- EBfcreases in interest and attendance F each subsequent service until ■bnow churches in the various communi- Bfties where it is held are unable to ac commodate the crowds attending. With favorable weather on Sunday, the local church will no doubt be filled to capacity. The idea of a fifth Sunday sing dawned upon Rev. George W. Burch hack in 1931 when he was pastor of Boss, Elm Grove, Green’s Cross and Capehart’s Baptist churches in Bertie, feeling that there was room for much improvement in church music in his immediate field. Late in that yeax he asked members of his four church es to meet for a song service the fifth Sunday in January, 1932, with the that the song service should be field each fifth Sunday afternoon at one of the churches in his field. How ever, at that time, road conditions were deplorable and. lacking in pub lieity the first of these services «fc*. b tracted only a small crowd. But de k spite handicaps on that fifth Sunday i] in January, 1932, at Ross’ Church 'was bora that spirit and enthusiasm which has attended, the services until present time, when they are de manding far more widespread atten tion. It was the purpose of Mr. Burch to keep the song service within the bounds of his pastorate.

Milk Commission Places Edenton On Its Honrtll List Consumption of Milk, However, Only .18 of Pint Per Day .31INBERTIE Health Department Is Urging More Grade “A” Dairies The Health Department wishes to announce that the United States Pub lic Health Service Milk Commission has given the Town of Edenton a grade of 95 and places it upon their Honor Roll. This grading was reck oned. upon fee quality and quantity of Grade A raw milk consumed in the Town of Edenton. Being placed upon the honor roll by this Commission means that the Town of Edenton con sumed .18 of a pint of milk per day per person and that the Jackson Dairy, which is the only Grade A dairy in the county, received, only six demerits upon cleanliness, equipment and methods of handling its milk. As a comparison, the towns of Ber tie which are on the honor roll re ceived the same grade but had a milk consumption of .31 of a pint per day per person. This was due to the fact that all dairies in Bertie are Grade A but only one in Chowan. The Health Department desires that all milk sold in the Town of Edenton, when the next grading is done, will be Grade A. Os course, this can only be accomplished by the building of one ot two more Grade A dairies in the county.
