the Level Cross church, at which
place she remained a faithful mem
ber until death.

A devout Christian was Mrs. Hicks,
as was shown in her walks through
life. She was ever ready to lend a
helping hand to those in need and
comfort those in trouble. She was
indeed a loving mother and a neigh
bor that will be greatly missed. '

are A. M. Hicks, Climax; Mrs. J.
C. Johnson, High Point; G. W. Hicks,
Gibsonville; J. W. Hides, Climax;

Cross church, Rev. W. H. Neese, pas
tor of the church officiating. Inter
ment was -made in the church ceme
tery beside her husband, who died
about ten years ago.

Sixty-eight anglers’ Senses have
been issued from the office of Clerk
of Court W. A. Lovett. The larger
number of these licenses were issued
during the month of April and the
larger number are state-wide in their

reel are called Jnto play that the li
cense is required. The license and the
button issued with the license must be
carried by the fisherman when fishing
and upon request or demand must be
shown to any fish and game wirden.

Suggests Ways In Which Rata
May Be Of Service To Tara
Of Asheboro.
“Service” Is Keynofc
The Asheboro Rotary Club held a
“Father and Son” banquet at its reg
ular meeting in the Ashlyn hotel but
Friday noon. Members of the dob
had their sons as guests. Rev. B. R.
Morris, pastor of the local Baptidb
church, was the chief speaker at tea
banquet. Mr. Morris spoke on “Ser
vice.” He began by telling of the
origin of Rotary and its aims. The
keyword of the organization, declare!
Mr. Morris, is “Service.”
He pointed out three ways by which
the Rotary club could serve the town
of Asheboro. The first of these ways
is the promotion of a Community
Chest whereby the charity cases im
the town and county could be taken
care of in a systematic manner 'and
the money that is sent to towns an!
cities outside the county for charity,
purposes be utilized at home.
The second way would be the pro
motion of a Community Building
which would provide physical develop
ment and recreation for the young
people of the town. Such an enter
prise, said the speaker, would tend to
detract attention from distant evila
and would help to build character of
the youth of the town.
The third way in which the Rotar
ians could be of service to the town,
in the opinion of Mr. Morris, would ba
the promotion of a City Library, ana
of the greatest needs of Asheboro and
the county. We have our good
schools and our good roads, declared
the speaker, but we need a library to
supplement these assets. A library,
argued Mr. Morris, would help develop
the character and personality of both,
old and young in the town and
county. I
