Wm. A. Sutherland
Principal Speaker
At BPW Meeting
Members Enjoy Address
And Film on Boy
Scouts
Edenton’s Business and Professional
Women enjoyed an interesting talk
and movie Thursday night when they
met for the first time in their new
headquarters at the Joseph Hewes
Hotel. William A. Sutherland, field
scout for the Albemarle District,
Showed a film on Scoutdom, “The
Years Between,” which depicted the
life of an average American boy, be
ginning from the cradle up to man
hood.
Mr. Sutherland, who was introduced
by J. L. Chestnutt, Scout District
Chairman, intermingled his talk with
witty incidents, which was well re
ceived by the ladies. Explaining the
activities of Scoutdom, the speaker
stated that scout programs provide a
relationship with boys, to men, to na
ture. “Scoutdom is a "three-fold pro
| gram,” said Mr. Sutherland. “It
works to train youths for better citi
| zens, it trains them for better charac
i ter, and it trains the bodies to be
i healthy and strong. The youngsters
then begin to think for themselves and
■ to make their own decisions as they
grow older.” He told the group that
the BPW organization could help the
scouts tremendously in stimulating in
terest in this area.
Following Mr. Sutherland’s talk a
j brief social' hour was enjoyed. On
! the refreshment committee were Mrs.
: Anne Jenkins, Mrs. Elsie Lee, Jessie
i Byrum, Elwanda Gibbs, Marie Good
j win, Indfc Felton, Mrs. Lydia Daniels
j and Mrs. Adelaide Cresson. The Hallo
: we’en colors were carried out.

New Circular Issued
On Atlas Wheats
The North Carolina Agricultural
Experiment Station announces publi
cation of a new eight-page circular
which tells the story of the new Atlas
wheats—how they were developed and
what they will do in resisting disease
and producing high yields.
The circular, printed in two colors
and illustrated with several photo
graphs and drawings, gives detailed
information concerning the perform
ance and characteristics of the new
varieties. It was prepared by G. K.
Micdleton, professor of agronomy and
T. T. Herbert, research assistant path
ologist. both of the Experiment Sta
tion staff.
“The Atlas strains of wheat, 50 and
66 represent an important advance in
wheat breeding in the Southeast,”
say the authors. “As the name ‘At

for their excellent straw strength.
