ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AUGUST 20, 1928, AT THE POST AT TRYON, N. C., UNDER THE ACT OF CONGRESS, MARCH 3,1879' b ffliT ®rtmn JBatlu N (The Smallest Daily Newspaper In The World) Vol. 9, Est. 1-31-28 TRYON, N. C., TUESDAY, SEPT. 1, 1936 An Answer To Our London Letters Dear Editor: | I want to say “thank you” to writer of the letters from Eng land. They enrich our lives and make th? world a more joyous place to live in. I’ve just been pulling a few weeds in Margaret’s garden. (She wisely placed the garden between the house and the barn where I’m apt to give a hand as I pass back and forth). There’s something contemplative about pulling weeds. It tends toward a contemplative mood. There’s so much about it that is analogous to what goes on in our minds if we are to achieve any measure of those satisfactions that the whole thing is about. Swinging a scythe is also a very satisfying sort of occupation. There is a rhythm about it that is fundamental. The things we do with a good swing and follow through are apparently related to iuch that goes on, from the waves a fields of grass and grain, when the wind blows; to the waves of the sea, the swing of a pendulum that measures time, to the heart beats that give us life. Interruptions of the rhythm of heart beats is always alarming. Certainly a choppy stroke with a scythe gets you nowhere.

Sewall write from Naples, N. Y., that they called on Miss Caroline Hill at Greenwich, N. Y., last week and found her in good health and spirits in a pleasant apartment. She was much interested in news of Tryon and of St. Luke’s hospi tal. Maj. W. A. Schilletter writes to have The Bulletin sent to him at the Reserve Officers Headquarters at Fort McClellan, Ala., near Annison. He says there are about 300 reserve officers there from all parts of the South and about 2,000 men of the Alabama National guard. The weather is very cool and he slept under two blankets. We have blanket weather in Tryon, too. Llookworn Survey In Polk County The Rockefeller Foundation with Mr. Hinton in charge, is putting on a hookworn sui’vey in Polk county. Mr. Hinton yesterday left material with the County Nurse who will distribute it to principals of schools now in session and par ents are urged to read and observe directions sent home by children. This work is entirely free to the county and to secure quick and best results, cooperation by all ap proached is necessarv as Mr. Hin ton’s time here is limited. Forty counties in the State have already been surveyed. Let us do our part The reports on material after ex amination will be returned to nurse who will make follow up visits to homes and where neces sary arrange for treatment.
