Negro Home Demonstration^Agent^ II .iMH ■■■■' -X ' Halloween is a time for fun among the oldsters as well as with the young. Tomorrow night the “spooks”, “w.tches” and “gob lins” will be entertained on the playground by the Junior Wo man’s Club. Did you ever know how this fun started? This ex planation comes to us from “The Southern Farm and Home Quar terly”. ' “Most of the great religious holidays can be traced, back to pagaa beginnings; but to Hallo ween more than any other, an cient‘mystic beliefs and supersti tions £till cling. Witches mounted their broomsticks and he.d unholy revels. Many modern Halloween frolics hark back to the belief that elves and goblins are abroad this night i Halloween did not find a place in the American calendar of holi days until after the Gaelic peo ple began to arrive, on these shores. These later colonists began the custojn of holding gatherings at the fprm houses on the night of October 31. Since this was the time when apples and nuts were ripe these two deiicacies were an important feature of such parties. Hallciween was often called “Snap Apple Night” or “Nut Crack 1 Night” in pioneer days. The par ticipants played the traditional games with nuts on the hearth, ducked for app.es threw apple peelings over their shoulders to determine the init als of their fu ture bridegrooms, and indulged in ctheir folk customs from the old country. They also discovered that ihe American pumpkins were excellent for making jack-o-lan ternSj and these carved pumpkin faces became tradit.onal for Hal loween. Halloween comes toward the end .of the harvest season. Many of you are now harvesting sweet potatoes. j Horticulture Specialists tell us the time to dig is when we can get she highest possible yield of U. S. No. 1 grade or better, and. by |ill means before the killing frost. The rule for grades are as follows; Potatoes cannot be less than- 3% inches nor more than 91 inches long. They may vary from J l's to 3% inches in diameter. I They should not weigh more than i I x k founds. Some say wait until they- mature. We are told there is no such thing as maturity in sweet potatoes. • ; SWeet potatoes muss be handlea as carefully as eggs in order to get the best price. Remember that these potatoes are very tender and-will skin very easily. When this top layer of skin is broken it makes it easy for the disease organisms to enter and cause thefp to rot. After the potatoes have been plowed out lay them on top of the ridges, being careful not to scratch them. Let them g*nv there at least long enough for the soil to dry. It is a good practice to do serre field grad ng if you plan to mar ket some. Place U. S. No. 1 grade in one set of baskets and the low er marketable grades in another set. Fill the baskets so that the potatoes are slightly arched across the*top. Wh«n the lid is fasten ed, pressure will be exerted on NOTICE! f Kennsn & Corey Planning Co.

I the entire top layer of the pota toes. a storage house made for that purpose is the -most efficient means for curing and storing sweet potatoes. Individually own ed and operated sweet potato storage house is more preferable than cooperative houses. But if you do nos have a storage house oi your own, put them in with some one else. A well construct ed, tightly built tobacco barn may be used, especially those heated with oil and thermostatically con trolled. Get in touch with your agricultural leader and he will furnish you with information on how to convert a tobacco barn in to a sweet potato curing house. OAK GROVE CLUB MEETS The Oak Grove Local 4-H Club held its monthly meeting at j the community building on Octo-| ber 24. The meeting was called to 1 order by Jce Nixon, vice presi dent. Carolyn Evans, secretary, read the minutes of the last meet ing and called the roll. Roll call was answered by the members teliing their age, with 21 4-H’ers present. j Sandra Nixon, chairman of the| --program committee, turned the • program over to Edith Jean Nix on, who gave a very inspiring de- j votional. Judy Evans played a; piano solo and then Judy and t Lewis Evans sang a song accom panied by Lewis and his uke. Several items of business were discussed. The group voted to clean up the yards around the community building on Saturday morning, and the leaders report a very thorough job was done. A Christmas party was planned and the committee members were cho sen for refreshments, decoration an i recreation. Judy Evans, Leon Evans. Joe Niron, Roy Nixon and Cnrolvn Evans volunteered to . help the local leaders serve at the 1 supper Thursday night. After the business meeting, recreation led by Judy Evans was enjoyed by the group. I Aauit leaders attending includ- 1 1 ed Mrs. Jesse Lane, Mrs. Percy I 1 NiXjn and Mrs. Marvin Evans. i CHRISTIAN SCIENCE The ever-availability of divine, ! impartial mercy and justice will be explained at Christian Science services on Sunday. One of the selections from the - Bible in the Lesson-Sermon en titled “Everlasting Punishment" is this from Proverbs: “Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the wav of understanding” (9:6). Passages to be read from "Sci ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy will include the following (6:18): "To suppose that God forgives or punishes sin according as His mercy is sought or unsought, is to misunderstand Love and to make prayer the safety-valve for wrong-doing.” The Golden Text is from Psalms (130:7): “Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.” Oori is not separate from the wisdom He bestows. The talents He gives we must improve. —Mary Baker Eddy. THE CHOWAN HERALD. EOENTOH. NORTH CAROLINA. THWM»AY. OCTOBER 30. 1950. CHOWAN 4-H MEETING The seventh and eighth grades; of Chowan High School held their 4-H Club meeting for October in the auditor.um. Sherry Baker gave a very good devotional, after which the group prayed The Lord’s Prayer. The 4-H Pledge and the Pledge of Al-1 legiance to the flag were given in the opening exercise, with the, boys and girls singing “America.” The assistant home agent, Miss Catherine Aman, presented a 1 health demonstration on “Care of I the Skin. Hair and Teeth.” Th : s| was followed by a talk by R. S. Marsh, assistant county agent, in which he stressed the importance j of keeping an accurate health project record. 1 If the power to do hard work is not a talent, it is the best possi ble substitute for it. —James A.

He had chosen his disciples wisely,; and with care—that much is ob- ■ vious by the widely different qualties of character embodied in the four he chose, as related in | the Book of Mark; Simon, the im- ; | pulsive one; Andrew, a common- 1 ! place man indeed, but a man of great honesty; James, the silent man, a man of innate strength and patience; and John, the “man of temper.” These four were com pletely different types, each with his own individual potentialities, as were the other eight out of the now famous twelve apostles. And, in his defining of the ob ligations of discipleship, Jesus dared to interpret the Scriptures in a new and different way. The only asset Jesus had was the fact that at the time of his coming there was a feeling abroad that it was the propitious season. Prophets had foreseen his coming, I and had created a climate of ex-1 pectancy. I And, just as the farmer pre pares his soil for the crop he plants, Jesus sowed the seeds of [ Christianity as we know it today! ip the fertile grounds at his dis-‘ Straight Kentucky ' Bourbon • ! fpmma BSMSMMMfc &m*I6BIKEimiCKBCBaBOIICj| i B»5^8 ? .; afyiaigJlt ffixyuhScit'fihuA key @aAefuflfy clxUiMedaccoHiiMff j /to tJleJlineAt <r&t/'ladittonb- DISTILLED ft BOTTLED BY ancient aoe distilling CO.

The character of any kingdom is determined by the character of its members as a whole. Preparation for member ship in God’s kingdom is repent ance. Thus the sinner is recon ciled to God, and the groundwork is laid for the making of a Christ like character which is pleasing to God. This was the task that lay before Jesus; this was thei talk for which he recruited help! from able and worthy men. ThiSj is still the task today which con fronts us as Christians—modern day disciples testifying to the Kingdom of God as we go about our daily lives.
