Today —The time of year is fast
approaching when one will want
to shirk the confinement of in
doors and get* out in the open.
Then the butter
cups and dande-s
lions and violets
will be pushing
up to the sur
face. Then the
trees will ,be
greening and the
grass will be
challenging the
stubbornness of
a lingering win
ter. Timid flow

and birds will test their songs in
another key. There will be a dif
ferent smell in the air—the smell
of spring—as different from the
odor of winter as night is from
day. In fact, it will be the tran
sition of winter-night into the
bright, sun-lit day of spring . . .
Then I wilF enjoy my walk to
work each morning. A mile of
springy each step a pleasure, each
breath of air to taste and savor
as a connoisseur savors a rare
Negro Home Demonstration News
By MRS. ONNIE S. CHARLTON, Negro Horae Demonstration Agent
Five club women, my husband
and I motored to Raleigh Wed
nesday to attend the annual State
Council meeting of Negro Home
Demonstration Clubs. Among the
many events of a very full day
was the inspiring message from
the guest speaker, Mrs. Harry B.
Caldwell of the North Carolina
State Grange. Mrs. Caldwell
stated she would use an old pro
verb as her subject, “Take What
You Want—Take It and Pay for
It.” Mrs. Caldwell left these
thoughts with us. 6lub women
and their families want to im-

wine. It is a journey to sip slow

draught by a quick ride to work
. . . Automobilists know not what
they miss. They should climb out
of their cars occasionally and take
a walk with Mother Nature and
her beautiful daughter, Spring.
Yesterday—The saloon played a
greater part in the social and eco
nomic development of the West
than most people like to admit.
Although a lot of brawling and
gunfights took place in the sa
loon, it was a place of social ga
thering, and many a cattle deal
was consummated in a saloon. It
was the cattleman’s and cowboy’s
club, the only place of relaxa
tion and entertainment available.
Many of them bore colorful and
appropriate names, such as the
Long Horn, Silver Dollar, Last
Chance, Long Branch, Bonanza
and many others, depending on
the originality and ingenuity of
the saloonkeeper. The saloon
has become a standard Western
prop 'in novels, the movies and
TV. Believe it or not, soft
drinks were dispensed in the sa
communities and it takes effort
to improve. We are living in a
time of trouble. All should strive
to be better citizens. To be bet
ter citizens we must be informed
in community, church, county, na
tion and the world. We on the
farm must study how we can in
crease income. Must live at
home. Produce vegetables, chick
ens, fruits, milk and meat. Fami
lies must evaluate their own
needs as to clothing, furnishings
and equipment and work to re
model, refinish and save. Must
study health needs of the family.
Keep family well and save money,
loon. Along with “hard licker,”
milk and sarsaparilla were passed
over the counter. It was a man’s
privilege to drink what he pleas
ed. With one exception: it was a
gross breach of etiquette to refuse
to drink with anyone when ask
ed, and drink what the host drank
—milk or red eye.
Tomorrow—The ancient Romans
were the best road builders of
all times. Their roads were the
chief factors in knitting and hold
ing together the vast Roman em
pire, giving mobility to the army
and promoting trade and travel.
In common with the early Ro
mans, America is fast becoming
a nation of roads, a people on
wheels. And to support this de
mand for roads, work will short
ly begin on a 41,000 mile system
of superhighways, and will cost
in excels of $5 billion- ... To
morrow’s super highways will be
the ultimate in road building:
multiple lanes, no intersections,
no driveways and no railroad
crossings . . . Escalator roads,
with different speed lanes, is
probably just around the corner.
this way. As good citizens we
must not shirk opportunities to j
help and work. In the home, j
church and community we must |
put our shoulders to the wheel 1
and work—not sit back and let \
others do all the work. We must
consider it our duty to help j
strengthen the moral fibre and
spiritual mind. Mother is “Queen”
of the home. . She should use that
influence to bring up children in
fear of God and to have good |
character.
Music for the program was fur
nished by a chorus from Sampson
County. Greetings came from i

and the district presidents—Mrs.!
Vera Slade and Mrs. Viola Green.

Good Friday in Old Jerusalem
VIA DOLOROSA PROCESSION: Each Good Friday, men and
boys of various Christian sects in, Jerusalem, Jordan, carry heavy
wooden crosses along the Via Dolorosa, the pathway followed by
Christ on his way to Calvary. Stops are made at the Stations
of the Cross for prayer and meditation. The pilgrimage ends at
the Church of the Holy Sepulchre which stands on the site of
Calvary. Throngs of worshippers from many parts of the world
follow this solemn procession on Good Friday, a traditional Holy
Week Ceremony in Old Jerusalem.

A call like this certainly doesn’t demonstrate
the most dramatic use of a telephone. But it
does, we think, show how much we have come
to depend on telephone service.
What else offers so much value for so little
money? .
