Trinity Parent
Teachers Hold An
' Interesting Meet
November Meeting Well At
tended And Splendid Session
Held Under Migfe Cranford
Inspiring Message
Brought From The State P. T.
A. Association—Need To
Understand Children
Trinity, Nov. 17.—The Trinity
Parent-Teachers Association which
met in November was a well attend
ed, splendid session under the lead
ership of its new and efficient presi
dent, Miss Carrie Cranford.
The devotional services were led
by Rev. Payne, in which he stressed
thanksgiving and praise to our
Father for blessings to all peoples.
From the North Carolina P. T. A.,
our local president brought an in
spiring message. She said that even
in North Carolina there are some
folks who pose as paternal, maternal
or educational experts who do not
know the uses of a good Parent
Teachers Association. It shows its
value on first trial. Of course that
cannot be said about a half-run or
poorly organized one, or of one in
which the plane and objectives have
not been entirely freed of unpleas
ant things, such as interference in
administrative affairs, poor pro
grams, and unenthusiastic support.
A careful survey and study of the
community, school, parents and child
ren to find out what is needed is
necessary. After careful council you
will do so much good as a helpful
P. T. A. Then search the country
side over for the best ideas on child
welfare, modem education, paternal
education, leadership and P. T. A.
methods. Perhaps your best ideas
will come from close home. Use
common sense, cooperation, friend
ly spirit and active work, organized
to run smoothly. Excellent programs,
study groups, training for leadership,
parental education, child feeding,
legislation for children and whole
some helpfulness to school authori
ties are necessary for a good P, T. A.
To these remarks was added Edgar
A. Guests’ ripest philosophy and in
spiring thought, in the poem, ‘’School
And Home Working Together”
Superintendent Marsh told of the
crying need for a comprehensive un
derstanding pf children by parents
and teachers, which' can be realized
only through cooperation and care
ful study. After this, consideration
and discussion were given to the or
ganization of a study class for par
ents and teachers to foster charact- .
er education among children.
A very interesting play was given
by the high school students to con
trast correct and incorrect home
study.
Miss Alexander, of the Archdale
school, made an excellent talk on
how essential good health is to the
mental development of children.
The parents’ attendance banner
was awarded this year to the third
grade of the Trinity school taught
by Miss Virginia Johnson.
All parents and friends of the
Trinity school, as you are waking
up to the seriousness of your job as
never before, as you search for
knowledge to aid in training children, |
there is an urgent request for you
to attend each P. T. A. meeting for
the highest good of your children,
teachers and school. Come every
first Monday night in the month at.
7:30 o’clock.
At the November P. T. A. meeting,
the privilege of personal contact of
parents and teachers was made pos
sible by the social committee. Since
the Home Economics Department has
been added to the Trinity school,
girls from this class assisted in serv
ing punch and cake.

/"•OTTON spells smartness as never

highly favored for both formal and

Cotton and ermine! This is a new

DEMURRAGE CHARGE ON
UNDERLIVERED PARCELS
A new order issued by the post
office department relative to parcel
post packages places a demurrage
charge of not exceeding five cents
a day on all such packages not de
livered within 15 days after arrival
at the office of destination also the
package may be returned to the
sender, who will be charged with
return postage and may also be
required to pay demurrage, in the
event the package is not delivered
to the addressee.
In the past parcel post packages
have been held an indefinite time
and when delivered or finally re
turned to the sender no demurrage,
or storage, charges have been col
lected. This has resulted in large
volumes of packages, especially in
the larger offices, piling up and
causing much work and incon
venience, and the demurrage charge
order was issued. It went into ef
fect October 1.
THIS IS PLAIN ENOUGH.
(Charity and Children.)
In a speech in the Forsyth county
courthouse which was crowded with
an audience that filled the room, Mr.
Bailey said: “I am for prohibition,
have always been for prohibition and
the State Democratic platform de
clares for prohibition,” replying to
the remarks of his opponent, Hon.
George M. Pritchard. It is a strange
thing that so many people have cast
suspicion on Mr. Bailey’s record, who
has always been a consistent advo
cate of prohibition and one of the
most powerful in the State, and yet
he has been accused of being in lea
gue with Raskob, though he has
never uttered a word that would in
dicate his leaning in that direction.
His election to the Senate of the
United States will add great force to
the group in the Senate opposed to
the repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment and will add mightily to the
tremendous effort that will be made
against its repeal. We are glad to
read these plain and vigorous words
from the lips of Josiah William Bail
ey and we hope that those who have
seen fit to oppose him will cease to
circulate a rumor that is wholly un
• IN MEMORY
I Mrs. Christina Thornburg Hix,
j widow of J. A. Hix, died at her home,
October 16, 1930, age 77. Mrs. Hix
i was a kind and gentle mother and
grandmother, and spent her life con
tented to work for her children and
i home. Her passing has cast a pall
j of gloom and sadness over the com
I munity, and from the family circle
! has gone its brightest ray of sun
1 shine. To know her was to love her.
i Her cheerful disposition won friends
wherever she went. She was general
ly known as “aunt Tena.” She pro
fessed faith in Christ in- early girl
hood and joined the Union M. E.
church and was very attentive on
church services when her health
would permit.
Funeral .rites were held at Union
church, October 17th at 2 o’clock by
| her pastor, Rev. Howell, and' Rev.
Kincheloe assisting.
She was the mother of 8 children,
two of whom have gone on before. 6
living are: W. C. Hix, Asheboro;
Mrs. M. C. Rush, Asheboro, Rt. 3;
Mrs. Dewey Williams, Seagrove, Rt.
2; Myrtle Hix, Mechanic; and F. S.
and R. C., of Tampa, Fla., also 18
grandchildren, and 6 great-grand
grandchildren. While her friends and
love ones feel sad, yet we bow in
humble submission to God who makes
no mistakes and doeth all things
well, knowing our loss is her eternal
gain and while we are bowed here in
sorrow she is resting in the sunshine
of Heaven.—A Friend.

WHAT IS POT LIKKER?
(Cor. Washington News)
Pot likker is really a by-product.
It is the residue of something else
equally as good. I’m going to tell
you what pot likker really is.
I can qualify myself as knowing
how because I, my father, my grand
father, and my great-grandfather
were Missourians, raised in Oregon
county. My mother was born in
Weakly county, Tenn., and this ought
to qualify my knowing a heap about
pot likker.
To begin with, it takes an old
fashioned poke bonnet and gingham
apron. If you haven’t these prere
quisites don’t start out until you get
’em. As far as other garments are
concerned it doesn’t matter.
Then go out into the woods and
with a table fork and butcher knife
dig around fence comers and in low
places and gather up an apron heap
ing full of poke, lambsquarter, deer
tongue, sorrel, wild lettuce, dande
lion, etc.
An old iron pot is really better as
a cooking vessel, but be sure the in
side is good and clean. Put in
enough water to start it cooking.
Next put in a hog jowl that has been
cooked almost done, then put on a
heavy iron lid and let it cook slowly
for about three hours.
When done, drain off your pot lik
ker and there you are. You not only
have your genuine pot likker but
you also have the finest eating sallet
that was ever cooked.

Operating Expense
Of Schools In State
Shows Low Increase
Percentage Increase Past Two
School Years Was Decided*
ly Less Than Formerly.
Raleigh, Nov. 17.—The annual rate
of increase in the current operating
costs of the public schools is less for
the last two 'school years for which
figures are available than for any
previous year during the past decade,
according to the current issue of
State School Facts, monthly publica
tion of the Department of Public In
struction.
The increase in current expense for
1928-29 amounted to $1,380,845.45 or
4.9 per cent, and was next to the
lowest increase record of 4.0 per cent
made in 1927-28. The current cost
of operating the public schools in
1920- 21 showed an increase of 40.8
per cent over that of 1919-20. In
1921- 22 the amount of annual in
crease in current expense decreased
to 15.3 per cent. The next year,
1922- 23, there was a 11.1 per cent
increase in current expense, which
percentage dropped to 10.6 per cent
in 1923-24.
In 1924-25 there wras a still furth
er decrease in the percentage in
crease in current expense, this time
to 10.2 per cent. The following year,
1925-26, current expense increased
8.5 per cent; and in 1926-27 it made
a 12 per cent increase. The increase
in current expense in 1927-28 was
approximately $1,000,000, or four per
cent. In 1928-29 there was an in
crease of five per cent in current
expense.
The average cost of current ex
penditure per pupil enrolled, accord
ing to School Facts, is $32.67 for the
State as a whole. This represents
an increase of $1.35 over the per
pupil cost of the preceding school
year. There is a tendency, it says,
for the per pupil cost of education
to increase in both rural and charter
schools. In 1919-20, the first year
of the operation of the six months
school term, the average annual ex
penditure per rural child enrolled was
$11.62, or less than half of the pres
ent expenditure of $28.57. The
average per pupil expenditure in
charter schools, on the other hand,
was $22.26 in 1919-20, whereas now
it is $44.50.

NEW POULTRY HOUSE
DESIGNED BY ENGINEER
Designs for a new poultry house
said to embody the latest and best
ideas in farm poultry house construc
tion have been prepared by A. T.
Holman, agricultural engineer at
State College, in collaboration with
the college poultry department.
In announcing this new plan, Mr.
Holman says it differs in several
features from the one formerly fur
nished poultry growers. The house
is 20 feet long and 20 feet deep with
the capacity for 100 to 115 hens.
The building itself is of lumber with
the foundation and floor of concrete.
Nests have been placed on the wall
at one end of the building and mov
able mash hoppers are provided so
that the building may be more easily
cleaned. A maximum amount of sun
light can. enter to all parts of the
house. A large part of the front
is open and the closed part is covered
with glass cloth to shield the flock
in rough, cold weather.
Another good feature of the new
style house is that there is no pos
sibility of drafts on the birds. The
open front and well placed ventila
tors provide air circulation and keep
the house from becoming too warm.
A wire screen under the perch poles
and above the dropping boards helps
to control disease. The concrete
floor aids in the control of mites and
lice and water trough is so plaoed
as to give easy access to fresh drink
ing water at all times.
This new plan, thinks Mr. Holman,
is a distinct improvement over the
