FRATERNAL NOTES Carolina Lodge No. 225 1. O. 0. F. at its regular meeting Monday night, May 23, 1921, in W. 0. W. Hall, .Rosemary, had u very unusually large attend ance. Owing to a severe wind and rain storm the candidate for the second degree didn't appear for" the degree to be conferred on him. The representative to the Grand Lodge made his report, which was a very satisfactory one. lhe orand Lodge passed fcome few bills that will be of CTeat help to various lodges all over the state. There was visit ors at this meeting from Bay view Lodge, of Swan Quarter, Hope Mills Lodge, Enterprise Lodge at Wilson, and Falona Lodge, of Durham. All made talks for the good of the order which were good and especially the Brother from the Enterprise at Wilson, he urged this lodge to organize some of thc higher branches of the order here. He has all the degrees the independent order of Odd Fellows have, which is eleven degrees. And he also wants this lodge to organize a seven men degree team as he would be here for several weeks and would assist this lodge in the seven men work, Neuse Lodge No. 6 at Goldsboro has a seven man team and is doing the best degree work of any lodge in the state. Enterprise Lodge in Wilson has just organized one. I hope this visitor from Wilson can get this lodge a seven man degree team started while he is here. Next Monday night this lodge will confer the second degree, a large attend bee is expected. Visitors al ways welcome. situation which all of us know should be met in an effective way. "The active canvass will begin I on the 2!th of May, lasting until the 5th of June, although in many instances churches will have their quotas well subscribed be fore the opening Sunday. News has just reached me of one cir cuit of ordinary financial ability whose allotment was $f,(00 that had already pledged $7,000 three weeks before the game begins. "In the North Carolina Con ference we hope to have subscrib ed $1,322,700 for the colleges of the Methodist Church. If the en tire amount is secured, Greens boro will get $235,200, Louisburg and Carolina will each get $210, 000, Trinity Park School $52,000 and Trinity College $350,000. In addition to this, there are five objects outside the conference which will share in the amounts raised. These are Emory Univer sity, at Atlanta; Southern Metho dist University, at Dallas;Scarritt Bible and Training School, Kan sas City; Brevard Institute, in the mountains of North Carolina; and the other is a small amount for an Aid Fund to help Student Volunteers prepare for their life work. A person has the privilege, if he so desires, to direct his gift to either of these institutions. We are much in hopes that we can in this movement put our colleges on their feet where they, can serve well the church and the state. They have been living from hand to mouth too long. Both the church and the state must educate better in the future if they ani to fulfill their respec tive mission in the nation. "This temporary period of depression has already resulted in immense moral good. Churches and Sunday Schools are crow.ded almost everywhere. Eighteen thonsand family alters have been estab lished. Four thousand young peo ple volunteered for religious work. These figures are, of course, for the whole Southern Methodist Church. These spirit ual fruits are a promise of full financial returns, for when folks get to praying they will begin to give; and when our young men and. young women offer them selve for life time service, the rest of dS will put up the money for their training. "Somebody asked if we could depend on any one class of people to produce this money. A man of means said we would have to look largely to the poor people to raise it, inasmuch as they had always been the great givers; on the other hand, a poor woman told me the other day that we should, have to depend upon the wealthy folks to bring up the amount. I think they were both right. It will take all of us for such a work as this. Heretofore we have left the support of the colleges to a few families who have carried the burden through the years. Now, for the first time, the entire membership of the church is asked to rally to the help of these schools whose backs are to wall. A man outside of the state subscribed fifty thou sand dollars to the movement a few days ago. In doing so he said, 'During the last six months I have lost heavily, and have had to borrow; heavily to protect my business. On mature reflection, I have decided that if I could go in debt in the interest of my business, II could also involve my future in la large way for the Kingdom oy God. I am making this contribution on faith." The Baby Show The baby show, which was a part of the program for the opening of the Nurses' Home, was held at the Home Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Miss Har daway, resident nurse, was in charge. Thirty seven babies were ' registered. State specifications covering age, height, weight and number of 'teeth governed the judges in awarding the prizes. The babies were examined by numbers and their names werei not made known to the judges until after they had rendered their dicisions. There were four prizes given. Each baby receiving a prize was also given a Better Baby Contest Certificate by the Womans Home Companion. The prize for the best breast fed baby under twelve months was given to Dr. and Mrs. J. W.Martin's son, J. W. Jr., who was a hundred per cent baby. The best develoDed bot tle fed baby under 12 months was Annie Bryan Jones, daugh ter of Rev. and Mrs. L. B. Jones. The best developed child under two years of age was Mary Vir ginia Jenkins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Jenkins, of Rosemary. George Nethercut of Rosemary, received the prize for being the best developed child under three years of age. The judges commented at some length upon the large number of handsome babies that were registered. Mrs. Martin, who was chair man of the committee, was in deed fortunate in being able to secure such judges as Drs. Pierce and Zolhcofier, of Weldon, and Dr. Ferguson, of Halifax.

The Industrial Art Depart ment will have an exhibit which will be open in the Central Build ing on Thursday and Friday afternoon from 3 to 6 o'clock, and Friday evening from 7 to 10 o'clock. ' . High School Glee Club Public Program On Thursday night, June 2, at 8:00 o'clock, the High School Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs will present a program to which the nuhlic is most cordially invited The Glee Clubs A'ere organized in January, 1021, and presented their first public program during the National Week of Song. The members of the Glee Clubs feel that the music loving people of the community are interested in the growth of music in the High School, and that their interest will be manifested in a well-filled Auditorium on Thursday night. "Do you think the financial quota will all be met? " Mr. North was asked. "Yes I am confident that it will," he replied. "As far as I have been able to learn, the church in all of its territory has never failed in an undertak ing like the present one. The goodness of the cause joined with the faith and loyalty of its supporters is the guarantee of its success." MUSIC FEATURES j Typhoid Fever CHAUTAUQUA WEEK! J Vaccination, is an absolute "Bohemian Girl" By Company of Ar-! guarantee for prevention of ty lists Will Be Big Drawing Card ! Phoid kver. Music-the finest sort, by ar tists of recognized ability will ! be one nf thp bio- drawing rards i of the Swarthmore Chautauqua to show here for the week begin ning June 15. The Chautauqua organization has spared neither expense nor energy of search to collect an ag gregation of artists who will give our community a week of enter- tainment and musical enjoyment! such as is impossible under the almost prohibitive prices and con ditions of single concerts. "The Bohemian Girl," Balfe's ever popular light opera that is known through those delightful songs "Then You'll Remember Me" and "1 Dreamt That I Dwelt in Marble Halls," will be sung here. The mere announcement is enough. The principal roles will be sung by the following artists of met ropolitan experience and success: The part of the "Queen" by Madeleine Bossi; "Devilshoof" by John Willard; "Thaddeus" by Carl Trebbis; "Arline" by Kathy rine Richmond; the "Count" by Nils Ericson and "Florestein" by Harold Wheeler. The cast is also to bear the stamp of the Milton Aborn Stud ios of New York City. The per sonal supervision and direction of Mr. Aborn have gone into the building of this company, and the fine results which will greet you will meet many expectations which his name would arouse. But this isn't all. The Boston Musicians' Quintet, including Georges Mager, lyric tenor and trumpet soloist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, will give a rare performance, a program that is altogether high grade and yet popular. But with it all, and even includ ing the White Hussars who close the Chautauqua week with a pro gram of varied music, our folks will have to go a long way be fore they hear better than the McGrath-Knox Entertainers in their rollicking banjo music. POWELLTOWN ITEMS Miss Jones of Washington held a very interesting meeting at Rosemary school Monday after noon, mere were aoout tnirty ladies present with their sewing bags, needles, and thimbles.

Health Officer Nurses Home is Formally Opened The new home for the nurses was formeraly opened at 3 o'clock last Saturday by Dr. Long, Pres. of the Hospital, who in a very happy speech welcomed the peo ple present, explained the ob ject of the drive, and the ur gent need for money. Very clearly, he outlined the work of the nurses the necessity for their recreation hours, and praised highly their efforts given so freely on our behalf. The program opened with some attractive dances by the school children, and carried on until 9:30 p.m. after which dancing be came general. To praise singly or mention individuals would be an invidious distinction. The whole community met in sympathy for a common cause, and showed by their united efforts, hard work, gifts and generous donations the keen appreciation in which they need the nurses, and Hospital. The Baby show was a huge success and shows clearly the coming youngsters will hold their own in this county. A list of further donation is given elsewhere. It is understood the Drive will realize about elev en hundred dollars. This speaks well for itfelf.

Nurses Present Pleasant Entertainment Lasc Saturday was one of the most interesting days in tin- his of Roanoke Rapids. No under taking ha3 ever received such loyal support from the citizens of the community as the one that was launched last week, that of opening the Nurses' Home on Roanoke Ave. Their willing response and generous! donations prove that they realize ' the value of the hospital and ap- j a ti. .. e ii. . fp; I preciaie me services 01 me em-, cient doctors and capable nur ses, j Under the supervision of Miss l Caroline Moncure, superinten-l dent of the hospital, the home had j neen ueauuiully and artistically decorated.

All the men who took part in this proved to be very able spell- ers, but Rev. L. N. Taylor re ceived the prize, an elephant tor; visiting friends, his superior spelling. Some who; Miss Ruth Rainey spent Wed had trouble in reading Dr. Long's j nesday in Northampton County prescriptions may have doubted i visiting Mrs. B. F.
