ROMINA TO GIVE
PICTURE BENEFIT
WELFARE DEPT.
Will Show Picture Next Satur
day Morning, and Proceeds
Will be Donated to Coun
ty Department of
Welfare.
i _
The work of the county depart
ment of Public Welfare has been
made lighter and brighter by free
hearted citizens wTio, at this season
of the year, are turning their hearts
and thoughts to the comforts and
happinesH of their less fortunate
brothers.
Our county is blessed with well
organized committees, supporting so
cial service functions which will at
Christmas time take care of child
ren who live in homes where poverty
abounds. There will be many brigh
and dazzling trees arranged with
lovely gifts and the unselfish spirit
of love will be expressed in deeds
as well as in words.
A problem, however, has arisen in
the Welfare Department, that be
ing of children in our isolated dis
tricts —children who do not have
access to community centers and
these little ones will be robbed of
Jiappiness of the Christian spirit un
less they are provided for. In many
of these homes there exists sickness,
sorrow and mal-adjustments. Is it
right that an innocent little child
should suffer because of crushed hu
manity?
This problem was recently explain
ed to Mr. E. F. Dardine, manager
of the Romina theatre at Forest City
sind immediately plans were made
-whereby the entire management of
the theatre will be turned over to
the county Welfare Department.
On next Saturday morning, Decem
ber 20th at 10:30 o'clock the Romina
theatre doors will be opened and
at 11:00 an excellent picture. Buddy
Rogers in an aviation story "Young
Eagles" especially selected and fol
lowed by a good two reel comedy
and a one reel comedy will be shown
Admission fee will be the donation
at the door of a toy or of a silver
offering, left to the discretion of th«;
patrons —any kind of toy so long
as it is in good condition and at
tractive and any silver offering will
be acceptable.
These pictures are especially suited
for children and while Saturday
morning is perhaps a busy time the
public is urged to respond to this
worthy appeal. If it is 'impossible
to come and enjoy the entertainment.

THE FOREST CITY COURIER* FOREST CITY, N. C.
MAY BUILD POWER
DAM AT HOLLIS
Mr. Grady Withrow and Oth
ers Considering Power De
velopment on Hinton's
Creek.
Hollis, Dec. 16.—Mr. Grady With
row and the Hollis Gin company are
considering- the -erection of a power
dam near Hollis to furnish electric
ty to the village and surrounding
community. On Hinton Creek, just
below Hollis, is an ideal place for a
dam and it is believed that the creek
will furnish ample power to provide
all the needs of the community.
This project has been studied for
some time, and now seems to be
the ideal time to begin actual work.
Many people have promised to give
free work on the dam, others who
need work are anxious to help, and
it is believed that the dam could
be built at a minimum expense. Mr.
Withrow is investigating the cost of
a dynamo and other equipment, nec
essary for furnishing power.
A ,dam on the creek as prosposed
would not only furnish power for
the country surrounding, but would
also make an ideal place for swim
ming, boating and other recreation
al activities. And this has its ap
peal to the community in addition
to the power project. Practically
all the _ people are anxious to get
electricity for lighting purposes and
jit is hoped that these plans quickly
i materialize.
