New Cranberry Baptist Church
By RUTH LINNEY
Soon to be dedicated is the
handsome new brick - veneer
building completed last Fall at
Cranberry Baptist church on
Highway 421, about 14 miles
east of the Wilkesboros and near
the foot of the "Little Brushy"
mountain. A remarkable fact a
bout its construction was the
large number of G. J.'i who con
tributed to the building fand
while still in service. At least
five or six pledged $100 each
while fighting overseas. Many
other boys and men of the neigh
borhood made a similar initial
contribution; both they and the
veterans giving more later as it
was needed. \
Outsiders declared "We are
glad to help those who help
themselves. Oranberry is a pro
gressive church and community."
Much of the actual building of
the church was done by the men
members who met and spent
many days erecting the small,
beautiful church of approved
architectural pattern. The inter
ior is considered more attractive
than the exterior. So favorably
were members of Hinshaw Street
Baptist church impressed with it
when attending the revival one
evening last Fall that they fin
ished the inside of their new
church in like manner.
| 'Scaffolding has been left on
the spire as yet. Some of the
members were dissatisfied with
what they considered its unfin
ished appearance. Additional
work is to be done on it. The
church has a complete and effi
cient heating system. Little dif
ficulty seems to have "been exper
ienced in paying f</r the building.
Rev. L. T. Younger, of New
Hope, Iredell County, has bees
pastor Bince November, 1935. To
him, as well as to the congrega
tion, belongs much credit for the
attractive new edifice. A. careful
shepherd of his flock, popular in
the community, Mr. Tounger Is
also an unusually able speaker!
During his pastorate, member
ship has grown from 93 to more
than 140.
Mrs. Lois Jarvis Roberts is
clerk and treasurer.
Constituted 1882
Not one of the older churches
of the Brier Creek Association,
Cranberry was constituted in
1882. Though others helped, the
late Mr. and Mrs. James Jarvis,
parents of Rev. N. T. Jarvis, were
largely instrumental in founding
it. First services were held in a
log ^chool house in a clump of
pines considerably nearer the
foot of the Brushy Mountain
than the present site. In 1897
the late Mr. and Mrs. I. T. Ma
this deeded the site of the pres
ent building to the church from
their large estate. In the early
part of the present century an at
tractive, though rather flimsy
frame building was completed.
It was later remodeled but had
no Sunday school rooms. During
World War II a campaign was
begun by the members for a
church with an adequate auditor
ium and Sunday school rooms.
Relatively little difficulty seems
to have been experienced in ref
lizing the dream.
Though some of the early
church records have been lost,
Rev. Smith Goforth and Rev.
Marcus Walker were among the
early pastors at Cranberry.
Though not one of the larg
est churches in membership in
the Northwestern counties, Cran
berry is noted for the large at
tendance. The congregation is
said by North Wilkesboro people
to be one of the best-dressed in
the county. The enlightened
members are progressive farmers
who do not appear to scorn to
do manual labor on their land.
They manifest more than ordi
nary interest in their church and
its work. This is proved by the
new church, not large but fully
adequate, and one of the pret
tiest of the brick rural churches
springing up everywhere. It lives
up to Ruskin's definition of
architecture as "frozen music."
Winter Clothes Caa
BE Protected Now
(From Home Agent's Office)
Any moth that flutters aronnd
the lights of the houses these
mild spring evenings need cause
housewives no worry about furs
and wools. But the little moth
that avoids the flame and hastily
disappears into darkness is prob
ably the clothesmotb—the cul
prit that lays the eggs—that
hatch into tiny worms—that
damage clothes and household
fabrics at th| rate of ap estimat
ed $100,000,000 a year.
These winter wools you'll be
putting away soon are going to
be more valuable than ever next
fall. So don't take any chances
on moth damage to them this
summer.
There are likely to be some
moths in almost any house or
apartment at this time of the
year. Don't wait until you see
evidence of moth damage before
you take measures to prevent
them.
One of the best year-round-of
fensives against moths is good
housekeeping. Keep all floor and
rugs well swept. Moths often
start In the part of a rug
under a piece of furniture.
Eliminate all possible breeding
places for moths. Never leave
wool rags or old wool clothes ly
ing carelessly around the house.
Don't let lint or hair accumulate
in floor cracks' or under the
baseboards—or dog or cat hairs
remain in the basement. Moths
like to eat feathers and fur as
well. Ordinarily moths don't
bother clothes that you wear
frequently. They set up house
keeping in a wool coat or dress
that hangs in th« back of a dark
closet for weeks at a time. It's
a good idea to take them out
and sun and brush them occas
ionally.
Most women like to clear clos
ets of winter clothing as soon as
possible. These clothes may be
sent to reliable commercial es
tablishments for storage, but
they can also be stored safely at
home.
Before putting winter clothes
away, hang them in the sun for
several hours and brush out all
seams and pockets where moths
and worms may hide. Sunshine
causes them to drop to the
ground.
2. Put away clothes clean. Dry
cleaning kills moths, destroys
eggs and larvae. So does wash
ing with a strong solution of
neutral soap.
3. Wrap clothes carefully in
air-tight boxes Or trunks. Into
the container with the clothes
use a DDT dust or one pound of
napthelen flakes or paradichlor
benzene crystals to every hun
dred cubic feet of space. Sprinkle
mothballs generously containing
one of these chemicals between
the folds of clothing.
4. Label each package^ or box
with its contents for convenience
In locating clothes when needed,
igain.
5. Store packages where they
ire not likely to get torn. Moths
won't eat their way through
paper, but they take advantage
Df a tear to get inside.

to rains after the poisoned bait
was put out.
Heavily infested areas were
well baited with a red squill com
pound and numerous rats were
eliminated.
However, effective rat control
work Is urged aa a follow up in
order that the rat menace may
be kept to a minimum.The sani
