in Frizes Given Away
At Each Session
Plans for Henderson’s biggest and
best |Cooking School and Kitchen
Style Show have been completed and
the outstanding home-making event
of the year will start next Tuesday
morning at 10 o’clock at the Steven
son theatre, continuing Wednesday
and Thursday mornings at the same
hour. While the Daily Dispatch has
sponsored many interesting and en
joyable events of the kind, nothing
•previously attempted will compare
with the 1936 school nor has any simi
lar event aroused such interest among
the women of this city and vicinity, it
is believed.
With the cooperation of manufac
turers, leading merchants and the
Carolina Power and Light Company,
the Dispatch offers the home-makers
of this section an event that will not
only be highly entertaining but will
provide a vast amount of valuable in
fcrmation <on cooking and other
household matters. There will be no
admission charge and an invitation is
extended every woman in Henderson
and vicinity to attend each session.
New Cooking Methods
That those in attendance will be
given a chance to learn much about
the newest and most highly approv
ed home-making methods is assured
by the fact that the cooking school
and style show will be conducted by
Miss Nell Scott, one of the South’s
leading authorities on cooking and
domestic science topics. Miss Scott
who is well known to many residents
of this city and vicinity, has been es
pecially trained in home economics
work and is considered an expert both
in culinary matters and in scientific
home operations. Each morning, Miss
Scott wil ldeliver brief talks on house
hold matters and will personally dem
onstrate not only the use of the new
est household labor saving devices,
but will explain the preparation me
thods of many of her favorite recipes.
To Give Many Prizes
An interesting feature of the com
ing event will be the awarding of
many valuable prizes to those in at
tendance. Each morning, during the
course of the school, bags of grocer-

KIWANIS MEETING
Rev. R. E. Brown and Dean
Cloyd OUT: Program; East
er Theme Used
Two speakers and music approp
riate to the season, with the Easter
theme predominating, marked the
weekly luncheon meeting of the Kiw
anis club Friday evening. Rev. R. E.
Brown, pastor of the First Methodist
church, spoke on the subject of Eas
ter, and Dean E. L. Cloyd, of State
College, Raleigh, lieutenant-governor
of the fifth division of the Carolinas
district, paid an official visit to the
club and spoke.
A solo was given by Miss Henrietta
Strause, accompanied by Miss Helen
Kimball at the piano, the topic being,
“Greater Love,” a crucifix song, and
L. K. Griffith sang “Why Should I
Love Him So?” accompanied by A. P.
Barhes.
The program was in charge of Dr.
Howard Allen, and the meeting was
presided over by the president of the
club, J. C. Gardner. An attendance of
95 percent of the enrolled members
was reported, with only two members
of the club absent from the meeting.
In his talk. Rev. Mr. Brown spoke
on “The Day of the Cross,” it being
Good Friday. He impressed his
thought by describing the effect sin
has on the human, using a blank sheet
of paper and so creasing it from the
center to show the effect of sin. He
also used a sheet of paper to fold it
and then tear it in a shape to make
a cross. The scraps of paper were so
folded and torn as to spell the word
“hell,” thus showing the ultimate re
sult of when one clings to the frag
ments instead of to the cross.
Dean Cloyd talked about the com
ing convention of Kiwanis Interna
tional in Washington June 21-25, and
urged as many members to attend as
could make it possible to do so. He
expressed his appreciation of the sup
port the Henderson club had given
him already, and voiced a confidence
that it would again be among the
leading clubs in the district in its 1936
activities.
The two speakers and the two
soloists were guests of the club at the
luncheon meeting.

Low Temperatures And Ex
cessive Railni Holds Up
Growth of Plants
Progress of tobacco plantbeds was
retarded again this week by persis
tent rains and cool weather, so that
little advancement was shown with
the passing of another seven days of
the growing season.
Time for transplanting is drawing
near in this belt, although, of course,
it is yet some three weeks or more
away. Growers here rarely get well
under way with their planting before
early in May. Few plants are anything
like large enough yet to be set in the
fields, and a continuation of the kind
of weather that has been common in
the last few weeks will throw the
crop late.
Growers did not get their seedbeds
in an early this year as they usually
do, due to the extremely cold weather
of the late winter, but that in itself
was not serious if weather following
is favorable. But up to the present
time, it has not by any means been
all that could be wished for in that
respect.
Weather conditions have been «*,-
gainst the tobacco farmer so far lit
his preparations for the year’s crop,
and if adverse conditions continue
through the summer there might be
no danger of such an excessive crop
as has teen feared on every hand in
the wake of the invalidation of the
crop control plan under the AAA.
There has been little sunshine in
the past week, but word from further
south is that planting is well advanc
ed in the Georgia belt, with South
Carolina preparing to start. Eastern
Carolina growers will set their plants
soon after the first of May and the
Old Belt territory will follow shortly
thereafter.

“Olivet to Calvary” Splend
idly Sung by Baptist
Choir Group
The inspirational cantata, “Olivet
to Calvary”, by J. H. Maunder, was
impressively presented before a high
ly appreciative audience at the First
Baptist church Friday evening. The
choir of the church was assisted by
R. J. Jones, Mrs. Sturgis Collins, Mrs.
W. M. Coffin and W. B. Daniel, Jr.,
with Miss Dorothy Jones, the church
organist, directing and playing the
accompaniment.
The theme of the cantata recounts
some of the incidents in the last
days of the Savior’s life on earth.
There were a number of beautiful
solos along with the choruses, and
one or two quartettes.
The music itself was inspiring and
tended to lift one into the spirit of
the Easter occasion, with its signi
ficance and tragedy. Miss Jones nev
er got more real music out of the well
equipped organ than for this event,
many thought, and her talent in that
regard was at its best. The notes,
both instrumental and vocal, seemed
to translate the audience back to the
scenes of Calvary and the sacrifice
made by the Sarior for humanity.
There was wonderful harmony, ex
pression and volume throughout in
all parts of the program.
The solos were given by Miss Gar
nett Myers, Mrs. Henry A. Dennis,
Mrs. Sturgis Collins, Richard J. Jones
and W. B. Harrison. A great deal
could be said of each of them, as well
as of the quartette groups, but it
would not in the least detract from
the others to ,day that the softness,
tone and impression of Mr. Jones’
tenor air in the seventh section of
the cantata really outstanding
The pastor, Rev. A. S. Hale, presid
ed and read the Scripture for the ser
vice, with the invocation by Dr. Hugh
A. Ellis, of Wilson, former pastor of
the church, while Rev. E. R. Nelson,
Baptist minister of this city, gave the
benediction.

LOCAL FISHERMAN
LANDS HEAVY TUNA
West Palm Beach, Fla., April 11—
(Special)—Fisherman’s luck today

But Mostly Fair Weathet Is
Promised City and Sec
tion by Weather Man
Partly cloudy, but mostly fair
weather, was the weather man’s fore
cast today for Easter in Henderson,
with a strong probability that there
would be abundant opportunity for
the display of new spring finery both
at church services and during the
remainder of the day.
There was rio promise of an all-day
season of sunshine, but there will
likely be enough briskness in the air
to make the outdoors inviting.
Every effort has been put forth by
the churches to make their services
attractive to bring the public to these
morning worship hours, and all
churches look for virtually capacity
congregations.
Many business houses will observe
the Easter Monday holiday as a full
dfiy off from Becular activities, afford
ing a double holiday for many who
may wish it.
POST OFFICE WILL
OPERATE AS USUAL
Although most other lines of busi
ness will be taking a full holiday for
Easter next Monday, the post office
will operate as usual. The government
does not recognize the occasion as a
national holiday. There will be tne
usual city and rural mail deliveries,
and all windows will be open for the
entire day, with service of all kinds
uninterrupted.
