E. Swann Before Sunday School Convention "The Father, the Mother, the Children, the Sunday School. This combination makes up the most im portant, the ,most vital teaching force in the world. The home and Sunday School are usually" thought of and treated as separate institu tions. As a matter of fact, howev er, they should be thought of as one combination, as two departments of the same institution and I hope we can so think of them this afternoon. The home and Sunday School should ever be inseparable in the teaching . and training of both young and old, and we reach the ideal only when they are inseparable. It is true that nothing can take the place of . the home, neither can any other institu tion or organization take the place of the Sunday School. We have our B. Y. P. U s, Epworth Leagues, Christ ian Endeavors and other like organiz ations. These are very important organizations in their sphere, but with all of their importance, they cannot take the place of the Sunday School. In rightly thinking and dealing with this compound agency, we must get away from the idea that the home must prepare the child for the Sunday School .and then delegate to the Sunday School the sole right and responsibility of teaching that child. In fact we must get away from the idea that the Sunday School is for the children only. This conception of the Sunday School on the part of so many of our people, church mem bers included, has perhaps been the one outstanding thing that has pre vented our Sunday Schools from reaching the ideal or the highest point of efficiency. Th Sunday School, 'tis true, is primarily for children, not children from the standpoint o4 age, but for babes in Christ. This takes us all in from the cradle to the white haired men and women who are still, and always will be, babes in Christ. When should the home and Sun day School become so co-related that they become an inseparable agency? When the child comes to the age when it can- begin to understand re ligious teaching? No, it should be gin with the fathers and mothers when they are children themselves. How wonderful It would be! What wonderful homes we might have if every young man and woman, even before they take the marriage vows, should come under the influence of a good Sunday School! It is, alas, too often the case that our young people neglect their spiritual train ing during the years when it would mean so much to themselves and to their posterity. They, too often, seem to think that their best days must be spent in a worldly atmos phere, chasing the phantom butter flies of worldly pleasure, trying to convince themselves and the spirit ual advisers that when they have had their day of pleasure, which they seem to feel is due them, and when they get married and ."settle down" and begin a home of their own, they will seek the higher and more last ing things of life. How deluded these youung people are. When their homes are started, there are bo many duties and other things that take their time and thoughts they still have but little time to attend Sunday School and , church. They may go once in a while, but they do this only to ease their conscience. They take no part in the work: they assume no part of the task: they slip in late and leave immediately upon adjournment; they mingle with God's people as little as possible. They fail to get that spiritual awak ening that they had expected; they soon stop going to church at all. The result is their homes are Godless; their children grow up in the way they, themselves, grew up and God and all that is sacred is left out What a tragedy! The plan of our Sunday Schools have been very splendidly worked out so that 'the day of the child is born into the world, it may and should be enrolled in tfte Cradle Roll Department and thus, the day it is born, become a part of this great , Home-Sunday , School institution. I do not know how to emphasize ,as I would like the great importance of the Cradle Roll. According to plan the child remains in this department until it reaches the. ae, of three years. This does not mean, however, that it mut remain in the cradle all (Continued on pae th.e;) Work Begins on Causeway Across Bogue Sound Which Will Connect Morehead City and Beach Monday morning saw the actual beginning of the new $400,000.00 causeway between Morehead City End Ocean Beach. Already derricks and dredges can be seen at work on the beach side and the 28th street ap proach in Morehead City has een completed and paved. This new causeway will be only one block off of State Highway No. 101, this high way passing all of the new develop ment on its way into Morehead City. With the completion of this project Ocean Beach will be within ten min utes drive of Beaufort aid within fiive minutes of Morehead City, via the new million dollar State Highway reinforced concrete and steel bridge and will bring this beautiful beach within easy access of not only North Carolina but the South. It is under stood that the builders of the cause way propose erecting on the beach a handsome white stucco casino that will be opened for next season. -o- AROUND WORLD . SEA VOYAGE Captain Sigelakis Visits America on Trial Trip PUTS IN AT BEAUFORT A young adventrous . Greek 'starts out from his country to visit Ameri ca in a twenty two foot boat and on his returne will traverse the same itinery Christopher Columbus took four hundred and thirty four years ago. Captain Dimetrius Sedelakis, a 27 year old Green entered the harjbor at Beaufort this week and spent sev eral days here enroute to Miami, Fla. from whence he sails back to his country by way of (Jibralta. His boat the "Carcharias" in English meaning, "The Shark" measures 22 feet long and 7 feet wide with a depth f 3 feet. -It is the sloop type of sail boat, with jib, mainsail and square sail. It is also equipped with a wireless, gas engine and all the navigation instruments for such a voyage, including, a chart, barometer, Sextant, log etc. On his arrival to the United States Capt. Sigelakis landed at New York. Prom there he sailed outside until he touched North Carolina sea ports. From Beaufort he visits Morehead City, Southport and then Charleston, S. C. Savannah, Ga. to Feriridina and Miami Florida. Then leaving the United States of America the next stop will be Gibralta which he plans to make in one hundred days, thus covering a distance of 4,491 miles. He takes the route which Columbus sailed. From Gibraha to . Parlos, Spain, Barcelona, Misina, Italy, Piraeus Greece. When the successful return is made the Captain will prove to his friends that the feat can be done. He built his own boat and financed the trip. The Greek govern ment, so Mr. Sigelakis states, will fi nance the "around the world" trip and give his a boat of the same di mensions, but made of steel. He will then start on his trip of 36,000 miles which he hopes to make in from three to three and a half years, sail ing at all times. ; He expects to sleep from 9 A. M. to 4 P. M. during the day, using the sea anchor to keep the boat adrift. When he sets sail on this voyage which he expects to make within a few months after arriving home, he goes by way of the Suez Canal, Red sea across the Indian and Pacific Oceans, make a stop at Manilla, PhiL lipine Islands through the Panama Canal back to New York City. The Captain refused to divulge his object in this hazardous journey but stated that when his idea was carried out that it would be of interest to the whole world. O PICTURESQUE CAREER ENDED MOST CARTOONED MAN "Uricle Joe" Cannon passed to his reward Friday, November 12, and a long and brilliant career in life. In the nation's capital he ruled as dic tator in the house of representatives for nearly fifty years. He retired from active political life in 1922 and stated that he was going home to die. His last days were spent in the ram bling brown brick, mansion which he erected 65 years ago for his bride. He took daily walks until his 90th birthday last May. He was born of sturdy Quaker parents in an humble horna near Guilford College in North Carolina. O France prohibits the export of potatoes. BIG BEAR BITES 3 NEWPORT MEN Bruin Puts Up Stiff Fight In Trap. Finally Overcome By Men (Special to the News) Newport, N. C. Nov. 17 Within the last past five days, there has been killed and captured alive in the Deep Creep section, and about two miles north of Newport, three black bears. Mr. Roy Mann, one of our Newport boys killed the first one, while the second was killed by Mr. Charlie T. Garner. After killing two they de cided they would try and catch one in a steel trap. The trap was set and on Sunday morning November 14th, Roy and Charlie went to their trap to find therein one grown black bear. After a little discussion a mong themselves they decided that they would try and capture this one alive providing they could secure ad ditional help. One of the boys re maining on the scene with a gun to prevent the bear from leaving should something occur. The other b,oy left for help securing the assistance of William Garner, Manly Early Mann, and Danle Garner. They returned with ropes, poles and things thought necessary to make the capture. After fighting to overcome the bear for about three hours, the boys managed to tie all feet, as well as placing a collar on him. Afterwards the thought of how to load him on a Ford truck without hurting the bear or getting hurt themselves was eventually decided upon and the bear was loaded. After loading him on the truck the boys immediately pro ceeded to Mansfield and there sold their catch to Mr. C. D. Maske, with the Simmons Construction Co. who now has the bear on exhibition. Other than C. T. Garner having been bitten through the calf of one leg,Danie Garner being bit through the hand as well as other minor bruises and scratches received by other members of the party, the boys seem to be getting along very well. -Interviewing the boys, they state they had no idea the capture was such a gigantic task for five of them, however after proceeding they realiz ed continuing they were getting hurt, and to turn a loose the results might have proven serious. In making the capture they realized their guns were worthless, for to kill the bear they would probably have killed some member of their party thev had to i proceed with their undertaking. I : o i DR. BRITT GIVES FREE ANTITOXIN The County Physician Dr. T. C.

U WOMEN WON'T WEAR COTTON STOCKINGS Women crnnot be prevailed upon to wear cotton stockings in an effort to increase the price of the staple, in the opinion of David Clark, publish er of the Textile Bulletin. The theory has been advanced that if women would purchase cotton stockings instead of silk the demand for cotton would increase and the economic law of supply and demand consequently would elevate the price of cotton. "Women, including farm women, are not going to wear cotton stock ings as long as silk and rayon stock- ings can be had," said Mr. Cralk in a statement. "There are, however," he continu ed "some ways that women can help both the cotton mills and the cotton farmers, and one of them is for ev ery woman in the South immediately to buy a cotton smock. "Smocks are very useful and are in style. It would be possible to start a movement to induce every woman in the South immediately to purchase a cotton smock and there by stimulate a demand for cot- ton goods which would help greatly at this time. -Ex. The State Congress of the Parents Teachers Association will be held in Charlotte in 1927. The Greensboro i delegation asked for the meeting but I the decision went to the "Queen City' Eminent speakers from different parts of the country were on the pro gram who discussed every phase of the child and school life.

Prof. Harold Meyers of the Uni versity at Chapel Hill and Miss Alice Binzell lead in the discussion. Dr. Hyde Pratt lead in the discus sion of recreation.

Nov. 15 Swinging into full stride for pre-legislature matters, the Capitol resounded the past week with the echoes which came out of the meetings of the Bud get Commission. In addition the cotton conference met and adopted a rather definite scheme to work out for the aid of cotton growers and tied the bankers and agriculturalists together to work for the farmer. The Budget hearings were perhaps, the most important matters consider ed this week. The Governor as di rector of the budget and the advis ory budget commission met and went over the requests for maintenance of the higher educational institutions. They total close to 15 millions and thus are about four millions each year of the biennium above those of last year. At these hearings the Gov ernor questioned very closely as to the needs of the institutions with a view to bringing out every fact and the members of the budget commis sion took an equal interest in the matter. It is their plan to continue j these close questions in order to de velop the matter from every phase and, with this in mind, every institu tion head will have to be well posted on his needs. After all the evidence is in, the Governor and Budget Com mission will decide on the recom mendation to be made and then, and not before, will the Governor have anything to say on his views of the matter of primary and higher educa tion oppropriations. The hearings during this week de veloped some statements and assump tions. Walter Murphy of the Gen eral Assembly issued a statement de- daring that he would not attend the j hearings and intended to fight for higher education. He said the bud get commission was exceeding its power. Some news articles were written drawing the conclusion that the governor was in favor of the pri mary education funds as opposed to the higher education appropriations. To these Governor McLean issued a reply on Saturday in which he de nounced the interpretations of his ac tions, declared every item was being scanned in the interest of the people ahd added that he believed the peo ple of the state would back him in his efforts to conserve the finances of the state and not increase taxes. The cotton hearing developed the definite plan whereby the agricul tural interests of the state and its ex tension service will devote its atten tion to preaching a 25 per cent reduc tion in acreage of cotton and a pro gram of diversification for farmers while the time merchants and bank ers in small places will give effective aid by extending credit to cotton growers only when they subscribe to the program of reduction. This it is believed will adequately dispose of the cotton problems so far as it af fects North Carolina. During the week Governor Mc Lean addressed the American Asso ciation of State Highway Officials at Pinehurst on road systems. It was also announced that Ida Ball Warren, the only woman ever to face the elec tric chair, and whe was commuted will not be given any clemency by the McLean administration, it being the Governor's opinion that such clemency would bejefeating the ends of justice. A radio engineer is waiting here to report to the .Gover nor on available sites for establish ment a state radio station and def inite steps are expected shortly. The governor's office through the news papers has received indication that clemency will be sought for F. W. Sparrow Jr, one of the members of the mob which mutilated Joseph Needleman and who is serving a sen tence at State Prison. No indica tion is given whether the governor will act in the matter. The Federal Park Commission of the Great Smoky mountains will ask for a two million dollar bond issua this year from the general assembly and will therefore be a live topic be fore the legislature. The machinery for the two million dollar soldier loan fund will have to be passed p.lso since it was ratified at the last ejec tion. State College students are celebrating to such an extent after their successful football games that there is talk of curbing their acti vities.
