Cooperation was the subject to be
descussed at the luncheon of the
Louisburg Klwania Club at theFrank
iln Hotel on last Friday with Director
M Stuart Davis in charge of the pro
gram. Prof. McMillan, of Wake For
est College, presented the subject in
a moot unique way, taking the posi
tion that it was in the small town
that co-operation was in practice in
its truest form. The small town grown
big folks, he said, and gave as one
of the reasons for it that adults had
time to know each other andta-hnow
and take a frelndly Interest IB the
children. "A pat on the shoulder often
makes s bigger boy," be scid. The
speech was very interesting and uplift

the man in the lead today. ,
