Section 1 Dr. Abrams spoke at a Ro tary Club Teachers’ Night ban quet in September, 1955, and expressed his pleasure at being invited to return to Edjenton. As on the previous occasion, the speaker delighted his audience with a generous sprinkling of humor in his remarks, but spoke more seriously on a sub ject he chose to title “Defense | of the Defensables” or “Take a. Second Look at Our Schools.” While he said the schools, like the church, the home, the Demo cratic party and other organiza tions. are not perfect •. and are not as good as some would have people believe, yet schools have made tremendous progress. He pointed out that all too much criticism is directed. to schools for many of the faults of child- j ren, but that no one is more in terested in the education and in creasing the insight of children than the school teachers them selves. Dr. Abrams was intro duced by John A. Holmes. Mrs. J- R. DuLaney, president of the Edenton unit, presided over the meeting and called j upon Hiram J. Mayo for the invocation. She also extended a warm welcome to all those who attended the dinner and recog nised special guests.

Gilliam Wood and David Warren were charged with the chairmanship of the drive together with each mem ber of the vestry to see that the necessary funds were made available during Lent. The congregation was asked to give prayerful and sacrificial thought to their cash or pledge offerings. The rector pointed out that token-gifts would not be in keeping with the spirit of the church nor would it be adequate to provide the neces sary building additions in time. “With only 20% of the congre gation really giving as they are able to give, we should be able to raise the amount promptly and without any great burden to the active budget of the parish,” he said. ' Members of the congregation not present at the meeting are urged to call upon the mem bers of the committee, taking the initiative to see that the ne cessary funds are raised by Easter day.

For you and for 4-H, the next 50 years will offer even greater greater opportunities. To make the most of these opportunities, 4-H Club members and leaders must believe in themselves, must believe in others, and must believe in 4-H and what it has to offer in helping boys and girls to grow into more ■useful citizens in their homes, their communities and in the world.” i Recreation School Planned April 18-20 The recreation training school which was planned for Febru ary 15, 16 and 17 and post poned because of the illness of Miss Huldah Lineberry, has been re-scheduled for April 18, 19 and 20.

Mrs. Mc- Glamery will bring finish re mover and steel wool that the women may purchase in the amount they.need. She will al so bring paint scrapers and oth er small equipment needed. Mrs. McGlamery gives the fol lowing information on the se lection of furniture for refinish ing: To be worth refinishing, a piece of furniture should be strong enough to serve some purpose, have good shape and design, and have pleasing pro portions. Age is no guarantee that a piece is worth refinish ing; neither is the kind of wood. A plain pine chest may be more desirable than one of mahogany or walnut that has been ruined with poor design. Sometimes good lines and cabinet work are spoiled by applied ornament and ornate hardware. You can re move much of the apolied orna ment and substitute simple hardware and give emphasis to; good proportion and line. If the) furniture is large, you can bring! a drawer or a part of it to the' workshop. ’Miss Pauline Calloway, home economics agent, urges all Home Demonstn|tion Club members who are interested to attend this workshop and to bring their lunch for an all-day session. Al so, sirice Mrs. McGlamery would like for lesson sheets to be dis tributed and studied prior to the workshop, please notify Miss Calloway if you plan to attend and she will get leesson sheets to those requesting them.
