Scout Executive Williams
Takes Girl Scouts on Hike
There was an excited bunch of
Girl Scouts awaiting Scout Exec
utive Williams, of State Univer
sity, last Saturday afternoon,
when Local Director Keyserling
blew her whistle, at one o'clock
sharp.
With Captains Coble and Tem
ple Lieutenant Byrd and Scouts
Herbert Scott and Colbum Glover
the girls marched double
file, by Patrols, - through
the town of Roanoke Rapids and
then on by a new route to Camp
Sam. Along the way we kept our
eyes open and fully realized that
nature had ma"de this trail the
most beautiful one we had ever
been over. The waters iof the
canal seemed to be just as happy
as we were, and every phase of
the entire walk made us happier.
We arrived at Camp Sam at
2:30 o'clock, and as Scouts always
do we knew there was something
to do. Executive Williams first
gave a few simple rules relating
to good camp fire making and
each girl scampered away, by
herself, to collect her building
material. Each girl was given
two matches and in a very short
while the entire site was covered
with small-fires. Each one was
examined, because this was a
part of the second class examina
tion. At 4:30 o'clock all of the
small fires were made into one
big real Autumn Camp fire and
we had fun roasting bacon marsh
mallows and eating to our hearts
contit. We ate and we eat, we
eat and we ate, we ate till we
could eat no more, but nothing
was wasted. I imagine we caused
the birds to have a merry time
after we left, picking up crumbs
from the different spots around.
We left Camp Sam after Ex
ecutive Williams pave us a drill
in semaphore signaling, which
was very interesting. On our
journey home we walked slowly,
gang scout songs, and had our fun i
cutting trails, getting lost and fi
nally finding oursclvc3 saying
"Goodby", to different ones as
tney got to their respective
homes.

Microbe of LoYe Benefit
Eastern Star Tuesday
Night Peoples Theatre
Miss Strickland Highly Pleased With
Voices in Comedy's Cast.
Rehearsals are in full swing
for the "Microbe of Love" the
attractive three act musical
comedy that will be presented
Tuesday night, Nov. 22, at Peo
ples Theatre.
The production is under the
personal direction of Miss Ruth
Strickland, of the Wayne P.
Sewell Lyceum Co., of Atlanta,
Ga. Miss Strickland has had wide
experience in staging this and
other musical comedies in the
southern states. She came to
Roanoke Rapids from a two
night run of the Microbe of Love
in New Bern.
The Eastern Star has made
pledges to the Oxford Orphanage
the Hicks Memorial Hospital,
and the Masonic and Eastern
Star Home. This Chapter hopes
to cover all its pledges with the
proceeds of this play.
The theme of "Microbe of
Love" is unusually clever. The
lines are of the keenest humor
and guaranteed to bring a laugh
from the most stoical individual.
To make them "go" Miss Strick
land has been fortunate in find
ing in Roanoke Rapids talent
that can best interpret them.
Among the out standing local
dramatic lights the very best
talent has been secured for the
leading roles. Miss Eunice Mc
Adams as Madam Cupid, Miss
Myrtle Holt as Lovie Long, Miss
Alice Hockaday as Mrs. Hen
peck, Miss Ethel Byrd as Pris
cilla Prunes, Miss Clara Hearne
as Piney Melting Hart, these
characters are showing up unus
ually well in rehearsals, M. M.
Faison as Bobby Bashful, Mr.
Ned Manning as Mr. Henpeck,
Mr. Cameron Reynolds as Billie
Bachelor, Mr. Cooper as Simon
Shy, Mr. Allen as U. B. Careful,
Mr. Simpson as Lord Tisa Pity.
There are many others in equally
important roles and the Roanoke
Rapids audience will have the
pleasure of enjoying as splendid
dramatic and musical effect as
any amateur can produce. .
Tickets are on sale at Taylor-
Matthews Drug Co. General
admission 75c, reserve seats $1.00

New Girl Scout Troop
Formed
Not only is the microbe of love
floating around this section of
the County, but the microbe of
scouting seems to have come
and infected all. On Monday
night, November 14th, at the
Junior-Senior High School, the
following girls met to form a
troop: Iva Mosely, Alma Jones,
Bessie Day, Ruby Taylor, Jo
sephine Murray, Nicie Cashwell,
Nora Kate Ray, Lucy Powel,
Hattie Jacobs, Donnie Moon,
Isabella Conn, Ethel Bishop,
Nannie Bay Mills,
Director Keyserling spoke to the
girls on the History of the Girl
Scout Movement. Captain Coble
explained the organization of the
troop and gave the girls the laws,
motto pnd slogan to learn.
The girls have started off their
work with such an earnest deter
mination and deep interest in
scouting, that it will not be long
before they will ba up with, if
not ahead of the other troops.
Watch the new troop grow.

RED CROSS
ROLL CALL
Held in This Community Nov. 19.
Enlistments to be Received at Banks
and Drug Stores.
BIG ENROLLMENT IS EXPECTED
Southern Division Headquart
ers of the American Red Cross
sees a veritable triumph of the
Red Cross cause in Dixie as a
result of reports from every sec
tion of the Division on the results
of early Roll Call activity.
The South, these reports indi
cate, is Keenly alive tj the im
portance of the peace time pro
gram of the organization and the
response to the appeal of The
Greatest Mother is believed ample
assurance that the work now
being attempted will be carried
on throughout the coming year
and possibly extended so that
every community in the Division
will feel and know its benefits.
This has been made possible
solely through the whole hearted
cooperation of people in every
walk of life throughout the sec
tion. Big business has recognized
the benefits that accrue to it from
participation in Red Cross activi
ty and the response has been
generous, and organized labor
has been no less quick to grasp
the opportunity to aid a cause
that is one of the prime factors
in our national life in adding
strength and force to the masses.
In fact, practically every labor
leader in the South has not only
enrolled himself as a Red mem
ber, but has given his enthusias
tic endorsement of the Red Cross
program.
The doctrine of Red Cross
service has been preached from
hundreds of evangelical pulpits in
the South and the same time it
has been made the subject of
endorsement from prelate and
priest, in church and in synago
gue. In fact the cooperation has
been as widespread as the cause
to which it is given. As a result
Division Headquarters officials
predict that despite the uncer
tainties of the times, the South
will smash all its records for res
ponse to the annual appeal of
this great national organiza
tion.
