Mr. Balse, chief engineer, made
the first talk. In which he ex
plained that there are 68,000
miles on the road system, 47,000
in county roads and 11,000 on
the regular state system. ‘‘We
have only 2-3 as much money as
we need for maintenance,” he
said, “but it is the engineer’s job
to make one dollar go as far as
four and to stretch the funds to
obtain maximum benefit to the
public.’’ Referring to mainten
ance of surface treatments, he'
said that faulty bases have given I
much trouble and expressed the |

A. A. Finley, who served the
club during the past year, as
outgoing president pinned the
president’s button on Attorney A.
H. Casey, the new president.
After appropriate remarks Genio
Cardwell presented the past pres
ident’s button to Mr. Finley.
Mr. Casey made an inspiring
talk, in which he reported two
mandates from Kiwanls Interna
tional: 1, that every club have a
traffic safety program during the
year; 2, that every club have a
program urging alien registra
tion laws. Constitution Week, in
ternational goodwill, juvenile de
linquency and support of church
es are also to get attention dur
ing the year, he said.
Some of the highlights in the
secretary’s report were: ten new
members in 1937; seven agricul
tural programs, some of excep
tional merit; all bills paid and
substantial balance in bank from
1936 and 1937; tarnished trans
portation for 26 trips to carry
crippled children to orthopaedic
clinics and state hospital at Gas
tonia. Various other achieve
ments were listed in the report.
A list of members volunteered to
furnish transportation for crip
pled children during the coming
year.
p. W. Eshelman will have
charge of tho program on Jan
uary 14, H. H. Morehouse on

which The Journal-Patriot will
give to the women of the com
munity for three days without
charge, starting Tuesday, Jan
uary 18.
Doors of the theatre will open
each morning at 9:00 and the
picture will start at 9:30. Every
body is cordially invited all three
days of tbe school.
The Journal-Patriot takes a
genuine pride in being among the
first to sponsor “The Bride
Wakes Up” a firil-length feature
picture, directed and filmed in
Hollywood, with a competent
cast to interpret the appealing
story.
Women young and old, and
men too, will appreciate the hu
manness of this romantic screen
story, in. which home probleme
have been, approached from an
entirely new angle. Entertain
ment, profitable instruction, bnm-
icr and romance are woven deftly
into a production which abound*
in ingenious camera studies and
remarkable close-ups. The cam-
•era .boa gtotfemized the^eookinc
school, magnlt:rtng' its'*Wi»grrtl»,
losing none of its hospitable,
friendly charm.
In fact, there are close-ups of
new chocolate layer cake and
'g lemon chiffon pie that are de
fined to send the hungry audi
ence hustling home to duplicate
the culinary triumphs. Free reci
pe sheets each day will provide
added incentive.
Experienced housekeepers will
thrill to the adventures of the
winsome bride, whose husband
begins to boil when he finds that
she can’t even bell water. But
this bride is blessed with re
sourceful determination, even
though' the faithful 'servant In
her girlhood home made every
effort to spoil her.
■What happens after the honey
moon Is over? What happen*
when the bride becomes aware of
the critical gaze of some of her
husband’s old sweethearts, who
are not apt to forget heavy bis
cuits in a hurry?
To unravel the mystery in ad
vance would be to rob this clever
tale of its novel approach. How
ever the audience is due to share
a series of neighborly food con
sultations, in which expert homo
specialists reveal the secrets
which govern the perfection of
flaky piecrust, fluffy cakes, mold
ed icebox marvels, appetizing
salads and correctly roasted
meats. _
Never has the wizardry of the
camera brought a subJUct more
closely and naturally to tho
watchers.
