Judgfi Appointed by Roanoke Millt Compioy Find Ytrdt and Garden oi Mill Village in High State of Ex cellence. lecUioni Close in Many Instances. MRS. E. L CRAY AND MR. COLEYLEAD SAM It is the consensus ot opinion among the judges of the yards and gardens in the Roanoke Mills village this year that the efforts of the prize winners of 1921 have reached a higher degree of perfection than has been attain ed in the five years that the Roanoke Mills Company has sought to stimulate horticulture both floral and vegetable among its employees. Certainly it is flhat the competition was keener and the results closer than in previous years. The prize win ners may be sure that they triiunnhed ever no mean com-pi-iiiors ami they are to be con gratulated upon the fact that their efforts were able to stand out above a level almost uniform ly high. One ,vho saw the Roanoke Mills village five years ago and again to-day would hardly be able to credit his own perceptions? and memory, so great has been the improvements wrought in the yards. While there are more elaborately beautiful yards in some instances in the rest of the town, the average of the Roanoke Mills village is certainly higher than that of the town as a whole. The yard prizes were awarded by a committee composed of Miss Myrtle Bain and Mesdames George Taylor and W. C. Alls brook and are as follows: First prize, $20.00, Mrs.- E. L. Gray; second prize, $10.00, Mrs. R. O. Bray; third prize, $6.00, Mrs. W. A. Tunstall; fourth prize, $4.- 00, Mrs. R. O. Riggan. Mrs. W. I. W allace won the first prize of $10.00 and Mrs. J. R. Jenkins the second prize of $5.00 for having made the greatest im provement during the year. The garden prizes awarded by a committee composed of Messrs. W. S. Hancock, J. W. Taylor and J. T. Stainback, are as follows: first prize, $20.00, Mr. Sam Coley; second prize, $10.00, Mr. W. F. Hux; the third prize, $6.00 was reported tied between Messrs. S. M. Vaughn and Harry Moore, the fourth prize, $4.00, tied between Messrs. C. C. Car penter and G. E. Buckner. In the case of the tied awards the Roanoke Mills Company, instead of dividing the prizes, very generously paid the full prize to each of the awards. The yard committee reported for honorable mention the yards f Mesdames M. B. Ray, W. C. Taylor, and W. A. Butts for de tided improvement, and for general appearance and attrac tiveness, the yards of Miss Mary Mabrey, Mesdames R. M. Powell. W. T. Glover, J. E.Edmonds. Sam Coley, W. H. Moseley, Y. N. Underwood, J, R. Williams, Miss Melissa Strauther, Mesdames W. A. Daniel, Earnest Cross. C. P. Owens. N. C. Cashwell. Wallace, C. W. Wood, A, L Marriner, J. W. Graham, and J. A. Christman. The committee also reported that "the improve ment made in the new mill village between Third and Fifth Streets and on Henry Street is especially notable. We are also glad to re port that throughout the entire mill village there. i3 a marked improvement." The garden committee reported for especial mention the gardens of Messrs. A. E. Fowler, J. R. Jenkins, R. H. Smith, J. H. Hines Charlie Johnson, Lewis Mabrey, W. A. Tunstall, R. O. Bray, W. E. Smith. . Irvin Edwards, L. F. Turner, W. H. Mosely, J. H. Outland, W. L. Hitchins. W. E. King, David Balm on, W. E. Britt, C. G. Gums, Mrs. Ber tha Harris, C. W. Sheppard, Mrs. J. W. Graham, R. O. Riggan, W. A. Daniel, and W. A. Burt The sanitary insoection for the past three months of all the towns in Halifax County shows them to be unsanitary. Roanoke Rapids and Rosemary are more so than any other towns in the County. It is the duty of every one living in these towns to help keep their town in a sanitary manner. Inspection on July 12th, 13th and 14th showed that nine tenfh of the people in Roanoke Rapids are violating Section 4 of the State sanitary laws by not keeping their privies in a sani taryjmanner. Section 4 Public Laws of 1919 are: Every privy located within three hundred yards of a residence of any per son other than that of the owner thereof, shall be maintained in a sanitary manner and in accord ance with reasonable rules and regulations to be prescribed by the North Carolina State Board of Health.' " Section 5. The head of a fam ily or household, the proprietor of a boarding-house, hotel, res taurant, or store the principal or superintendent of a school, the agent or station master of a rail roadjor depot, or the person in charge of an office building, es tablishment, or insitution, shall be responsible for the sanitary maintenance as prescribed in section four of this act of such privy or privies as may be uted by his or her household, guests, customers, pupils, passengers, occupants, employees, workers or other persons. It is also found that a great many people do not know what sanitation means. It is keeping the lids and covers closed at all times in vour privies to render them flyproof and to keep them cleaned out. Also keeping your alleys clean by not allowing any thing to stand in them which will attract or gather flies. Any one found violating any one of the State Health laws will be guilty of a misdemeanor and sub ject to a fine of not less than $50.00 or imprisonment at the discretion of the court. State Sanitary Inspector MODERN SWIMMING , POOL AT ROSEMARY The Rosemary Manufacturing Company have just .completed the first swimming pool to be constructed in the community. It is approximately one hundred feet square and slopes from about eighteen inches at one end to nine feet in depth at the other. It has steps to enable bathers to enter the pool and the water is being constantly changed, the overflow going into the big reservoir for Power House No. 2. We understand that its use is free to the citizetis of the com munity, although, of course, its construction is primarily for the employees of the Rosemary Man ufacturing Company. All of these had gardens that merit especial commendation and the decision was rendered only after a second inspection had been made and then upon very fine points of superiority. It is the opinion of the garden judges that the actual saving derived from the gardens they inspected must have run well up into the thousands of dollars in grocery bills alone. Two of the judges were grocers and we think that they , at least realize that they have something else besides competition to blame for the falling off in grocery sales during the past few months. The garden committee recommended to the Roanoke Mills Company an ear lier inspection in the future than that made this year perferably one about June 15. For the in formation of contestants it may not be amiss to state that weeds in the gardens or in the back alleys adjacent to the gardens eliminated such gardens from chances of prize winning.

MATTHEWS-IDDINGS On last Saturday night at the residence of Rev. J. B. O' Briant in South Rosemary Miss Edith Matthews became the bride of Mr. William Oliver Giddings. The marriage came quite as a surprise to the friends of the young couple. Miss Matthews is the winsome and attractive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Matthews, of Rosemary. Mr. Iddings has been a resident of the community for some time being in the employ of the Sea board Air Line Railway.

THE UNIVERSITY SERVES "We were astonished," said a woman who lives in one of the smaller piedmont towns the other day," at what the University can do. The women ot the town ha,ve been wanting for a long time to do something towards making the school grounds less bleak and dreary. But none of us knew precisely how to go about it till someone suggested writing to the University. Nobody expected much real help, but we wrote, all the same And then, before we had time to turn around, nere was a woman from Chapel Hill, march ing about the grounds, measuring and platting, laying off plans for walks and flower-beds and shrub bery with the swiftness and skill of an expert-in such things We had our problem solved for usin almost no time: and it cost us the price of a stamp. " Nevertheless, North Carolina is slowly assimilating the idea that the University is soniethi ng more than merely a place where men rich enough to send their sons to college may have them educated ar'the expense, in part, of the taxpayers. It is being realized that the University belongs to all the people of the state, that the learned men who compose it are employed by the state to put their special talents at the ser vice of every citi.en of the state who ha3 need of t'neni, and not merely at the service of a few hundred hoys. The University is emerging from the status of a dozen or more men's colleges in North 'arolina and becoming to the state what his reference works are to the student - a de pository of special information available at any time to any citizen. And in so doing it is more than ever justiying the efforts of those citizens who have labor ed to increase its facilities and its power for service. Greens fa jro News. Should Hjvs m Pinched.
