Swann, chairman of library committee reported fifteen new books added to library several of which were donated, also one mag azine subscription. For the first time, a paid librarian is being employ ed, and the committee hopes to make it a county library. This was an ex cellent report considering the only library fund has been library mem berships and fees. The Public Welfare committtee re ported five dollars. The monthly allowance, used for charity each month, with an additional Christmas fund, totaling seventy dollars this year. The membership committee report ed the largest member of paid "up members in the history of the club. The yearly report of the Music De partment was as follows: Franceska Kespar Lawson, noted soprano, gave a Vocal concert Dec. 12. A Colonial Musicale, under the di rection of Mrs. 0. B. Moore and Mrs. H. M. Hendrix, was given in Feb ruary. This was well attended and the profit was gratifying.

' The Music Department helped Miss Gladys Chadwick and the Art Club with the Art Exhibit in the public school. Two small loving cups were offer ed one to 'the pupil in each school who showed the. greatest improve ment in Music during the year. The closing report was read by the president, Mrs. S. F. Hildebrand, and itj as follows: "Ladies of the Community Club, Visitors and Associate members: "We have come to the close of another year, the sixth in the history of the club. We finish the year with a paid up membership of eighty-six members, seventy-five of whom are active, and eleven, associate. "To the retiring officers I wish to say that each one of you has given me loyal support throughout the year attending to your duties in such an efficient way that I have been reliev ed of much responsibility. I feel very grateful to you and to every member of the club for the hearty cooperation extended me. "This has been a busy year, as our reports from departments and committtees have shown. We have had reverses that at the time seem ed almost insurmountable, but in each case we have been able to forge ahead, and to become more closely united by working together.. "Early in the year we pledged our selves to have an emergency build ing fund started by June unforseen difficulties have prevented this fund from assuming very definite propor tions, but the idea of a community building is uppermost in our minds, and we hope to make rapid strides toward that ideal during the com ing year. "We are indeed indebted to "The Beaufort News for the generous space allowed us in its columns dur ing the year. 'Our ideal of service must be kept constantly before us. The Federa tion of clubs does not recognize clubs that are purely social in nature, but requires that clubs must stand for j social betterment. j "No club can stand still It must either go forward or backward. Let us strive to be pushing on. There is still much undeveloped woman power in Beaufort. If we can only help this power to develop, it will be the greatest year in our history. "We have a vision and a goal for the coming year which nothing can prevent us from reaching if all work together. Those things uppetmost in our minds are: 1. The establishing of a county library with a well equipped reading and rest room that will be open to the public eveiy day in the week. 2. To perfect a system of organ ized charity work to work with our county welfare officer for the poor and needy of our towri. 3. To maintain a booth at the Ir. let Inn pier during the sumer month:, as the means of providing our con tributions to charity. 4. To organize a troop of Girl Scouts. 5. To present a three day Horn? Chautauqua shortly after the cluh opens in the fall. "This looks like a stupendous task, but it is not an impossible one, if we work together. Our dreams can be realized and our visions broadened if . we stand together, and by June 1928 we can have finished the work that now looms like a mountain a head of us and be looking ahead for new worlds to conquer." Several matters of importance to be taken up with the Board of Town Commissioners was referred to a p-pecial committee, this was in regards to a booth at the Inlet Inn pier dur ing ,the summer, the contribution of a fund to the organized charities, also a petition signed by many lead ing citizens asking for iron benches along the water front. Next in importance was the install, ation of new officers. Those elect ed for the coming year are: Mrs. S. F. Hildebrand, president; Mrs. James S. Outsell, 1st. vbe-president; Mrs. A. D. O'Bryan, 2nd vice-president; Mrs. R. Hugh Hill, recording secre tary; Mrs. T. M. Thomas Jr., corres ponding secretary; Mrs. O. B. Moore treasurer.

Edited by , Edith Powell County Home Agent And Hugh Overstreet County Farm Agent WALLS AND THEIR COLORS. When we enter a room, nothing pleases us so much as its color. We like to see nice clean walls, fresh from the painter's hand. The idea once, prevailed that the inside of ev ery house must be pure white that this made the rooms brighter and more attractive Ibecause whjiteness suggested cleanliness. Since we have learned, more about color, we have found that a combination of colors of varied intensity makes a more pleasing interior than the pure white. We wish to discuss the kinds of walls and colors suitable especially for kitchens of various exposures. The kitchen walls should be of a non-absorbent material as tile or paint; they should be pleasing to hard-finished plaster with water-proof look at, for nothing gives us a "first impression" of a room so much as does its walls. The kitchen must be easy to clean too. While the walls of tile and hard-finished plaster have a great initial cost, yet a wall less expensive than these means constant renewal and refinishling. For tMs section of the country, we find that the plain pine ceiling is the least ex pensive and the most satisfactory when covered with a cost of water proof paint. 'We want our kitchens to be bright cheerful, and colorful, for color ex- 'erts a wonderful influence upon our happiness and health. It sooths, stimulates, depresses or delights, ac cording to the appropriateness of its selection and the other colors with which it is used. If we surround ourselves with dull and gloomy col ors, they are reflected in our spirits and we become disheartened and de pressed. Our spirits droop under the influence of a dark and dismal day, but revive immediately with the return of the sunshine. Spring acts like a tonic through the harmony of j its blue sky, its green foliage and varicolored flowers. Imagine what this world would be like if there were no color, and we all moved a mong dull gray or black and brown substances. Living would be robbed of the great part of its zest and beau ty. It is not natural for people to live amid drab surroundings. Color is the most effective and the least expensive of all modes of dec orations. A colorless home, far from being an evidence of good taste, is an evidence of colorles personality, ig norance of the important influence which color exerts on life and tem perament, or fear and inability to express one's self through this won derfully responsive medium. The pleasing and eorect use of col- j or is not a difficult thing if a few simple and easily understood rules are followed. Color has a direct in fluence on the apparent size, lightness darkness, coolness or warmth of a room. As the walls are the largest area in a room and provide a back ground for the entire furnishings, it is the selection of their coloring that color can be used to work its magic. Light colors on the walls niaks roms appear larger. Light biues and greens or colors tinged with blue and green are particularly good for the reason that they have a tendency to make surfaces apear more distant than they actually are. Dark colors on the walls make rooms look smaller. The use of comparatively strong colors on walls will go a long way towards decreasing the apparent size of a larger room and therefore make it more hospitable.

Bag 33c 57c If the ceiling of a room is high, it should be tinged a darker color than ordinarily, in oroer to bring it down and make it apear lower. This may be done by using a color only a little lighter than the wal color. For ex ample, if the wals are cream, the ceiling should be ivory instead of white. Dark rooms may be made to look lighter than the wall color. For ex the walls. Light gray, cream, buff, and ivory are good in dark rooms as well as in small rooms, but a soft yellow is best for this purpose. Yel low reflects more white light than any other hue of equal strength. Pure white produces a glare thus destroy ing the good effect of light. Glaring and unshaded roms may be made more restful and cheerful by the use of blue or green on the walls. The stronger and natural light of the room, the deeper may be the green or blue employed. Red and yellow are warm colors. Wherever these colors are used they give a feeling of warmth. This is true of both the lighta nd dark tones of these colors, and also mixtures of colors which contain red and yellow. But, I say unto you, use these colors advisedly, and do not commit the atrocity of painting a kitchen a "barn red" I mean a rew which we see used on the barns of the farm! I saw such use of it not long ago, and I felt as if I were being smothered. In rooms of bleak northern exposure, warm colors should be used to obtain the effect of warmth and cheer. Greens, blues and violets are cool colors and they give a feeling of coolness to a room. The floor and woodwork should be of a slightly deeper color than the walls, while the ceiling should be from two to three shades lighter than the walls. Avoid celinigs of darker shade than the walls because they give one an urw easy feeling as if the roof might fall in. EDITH POWELL, Home Demonstration Agt. EIG IMPROVEMENTS IN SCHOOOL WORK (Continued from page four) and arithmetic. The average reading ability for the fourth grade has reached the state standard for that grade. Spelling in the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades is abo Ij the state standards for tohse grades. The high rank in spelling is probably in part due to thes tandard tests dent out from the office each month. Both teachers and puipls worked to im prove individual and class scores made each month on these tests. Artithmetic scores on the standard tests shaw that the grades are not' up to standard. Nex year Arithme tice will i-eceive special attention. In ' general the objective for class room work next year will be to give pu pils better preparation for promotion and to piepare more pupils for pro niotion. Along with the special work in Ar ithmetic next year the special work in Reading and Language will be car ried and the right kind of physical !nd recreational activities will be promoted. The improvement in the work this year over that of the previous year was possible because of the work which the teachers did and the splen did cooperation which they gave thru out the year.
