Would another clean-up day be the answer to this problem? and this column wishes to say “thanks” to the merchants of Murfreesboro and nearby towns for their support in making this paper and column possible. A paper is a good advertisement for a school. Welcome: To the new students who have come to join us down the drive. We hope you like us as well as we like you. Roar :Some Lions are on the campus!

The program began by the playing of “W'e’ve a Story to Tell to the Nations” and "When I Survey the Wonderous Cross” by Ann Jackson. “O Zion Haste” was sung bj the entire group. Lonnie Harrell read th'e Scripture Matthew 28: 18-20 followed by a prayer for '.nissions with "Take My Life and Let It Be” played softly as a background. A trio composed of Eva Hunt, Lona Worrell, and Lonnie Har rell sang “O J^sus I Have Pro mised.” Mable Johnson gave the mess age on missions. Her story was illustrated by a rose bud. The program endfed by a silent prayer and then a prayer was given by Mr. Warren Taylor, .«Km\unMiMuiiiu\mumiuittnwiuuttmu\u\uuHiMUWMumiMiunuiuu\miuMmiHimmnntHsmm Here and There Merrill Evans Off the drive: To hear the "Revelers”, a mal'e quartet in concert in Franklin, went group of students and teachers recent ly.

Some of the that so thorough a job of working has been done. When the Baptisit State Con vention agreed to put $10,000 in Chowan in the event an addition al $38,000 is raised they went a long way toward breathing new life into the 100 year old insti tution. Many had doubted the Convention would make a grant in any amount. A number of de finite plans had been held up pending this decision. Nowd that it has been made, the college t:an begin to make definite plans look ing to another year and to the future. One of the most’ remarkable things about the new Chowan is the fact that there has been no difficulty in getting a student bo dy. Before the college closed sev eral years ago there was extreme difficulty in getting enouoh young folks to attend. Many regarded it as an established fact that one, two or three hundred young men and women v.'ould never attend college in Murfreesboro. We know nov.’ that was wrong. THERE ARE BETWEEN 125 and 130 students at Chowan now. It is .anticipated that 200 to 250 will attend ne.xt year if facili ties can be prepared for them They come from as far east as Manteo.

C. students are helping in this work and paying a part of their ex penses. THE CHOWAN COLLEGE Din ing Hall is a thoroughly modern one, and the meals served are excellent. I was told while at the college that students could get their meals for approximately one dollar per day. Good business management has been the rule in the dining hall since the op ening. That department is going well. When the whole operation is considered it is amazing what has been done. If the $48,000—including the $10,000 from the Baptist State Convention—can be raised, it will put the college on a sound finan cial basis and leave it in first class condition to begin making plans for another j-ear. While it is not official, it is believed the.', some friends of the college al ready have in hand something like $12,000. So there remains to be put up now something like $25,000 if the college is to qual ify for the Convention help. That is still a lot of money but I be lieve it will be raised in the next several weeks. VV. H. EVANS, of Harrellsville, has recently been elected Chair man of the Board of Trustees. Those of us who know Mr. Evans well, believe he will bring to this position a great deal of energy and enthusiasm for the work ahead. Already he has driven hundreds of miles to talk with trustees -who live outside' this commimity. He calls the Board into session fi'equently, realizing the college is at a crucial period, I doubt if there is a man any where in these several counties who could do more than Walter Evans to bring Chowan through. My prediction now is that Cho wan College will live and go on to another long period of service to the Northeastern Counties. The faith of a few has been re warded. Just a little extra effort now will sese the job well on its way. pastor of the Murfreesboro Bap tist Church. Compliments of CONWAY CAFE Under New Management CONWAY, N. C.
