Robinson, Executive Secretary of the Virginia Good Roads As sociation to Mr. C. F. Gore, Sup erintendent of Highways in Hali fax county. It shows the opinion of an expert as to the progress iveness of the road work in this county and the people of the county as a whole are to be con gratulated that the work of Mr. Gore and the Highway Com mission is such as to bring forth so commendatory an expression of opinion from such a source. Mr. C. F. Gore. Weldon, N. C. Dear Mr. Gore:- The writer has been requested to address the annual convention of the Co-operative Education Association on Wednesday morn ing, November 23rd in Richmond, on the subject, "How, the Com munity Leagues Have Helped the Local Road Improvement." I have in mind devoting a great deal of my remarks on this oc casion to a report of what you are doing in Halifax County, and suggest to the leagues that they can best assist by getting these counties to adopt the county unit plan of road administration. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to loan me your exhibit of photographs for dis play during the convention to illustrate the remarks which I will make. If you could get them to me in time for this meet ing, I will promptly return them to you after the meeting is over. I have had a number of copies made of your address before the North Carolina Good Roads Association and have sent them to leaders in five or six counties in the State, and am glad to re port that several of the counties are now planning to follow the splendid example of Halifax County. I deeply appreciate the assistance which you have given and want to reciprocate by adver tising Halifax County through out our State. It is quite possi ble that a committee from Fau quier County will arrange to come to Weldon during December to study first-hand your plan. Kinaly wire me at our expense whether it will be possible to let us have this exhibit of pictures. Cordially yours, V. D. L. Robinson Executive Secretary.

"Microbe of Love" a Success Great The play "Microbe of Love" given at the Peoples Theatre on last Tuesday evening by local talent for the benefit of the Order of the Eastern Star ben evolences scored a tremendous hit with the large audience who witnessed the production. The large cast was almost uniformly good, unusually good for amateur talent. The musical numbers were bright and pleas ing and the more important members of the cast displayed remarkable histrionic ability. The community is to be con gratulated upon its ability to stage a 8hoyrjf this order with purely loc L rijnt in; sucb a Arbor Day Observance On Tuesday afternoon at 2:00; o'clock the school children and j several of the townspeople met j before the Central School Build- j ing to make memorable, by fitting ! exercises, the community's first . observance of Arbor Day. Here-, after it will be a custom, it is j hoped, to make this an annual red-letter day. The program was short but impressive. After a few simple i words of introduction by Mr Coltrane, the invocation was of fered by Rev. C. M. Lance. "The Birthright" was sung by the grammar grades and High School; Toast to the Old North State" was recited by Robert Crutch field; after which Rev. Lewis N. Taylor spoke of the meaning and worth-whileness of Arbor Day. "October's Party" was then sung by the Primary grades, after which Matdora Mosiey re cited Joyce Kilmer's poem, "Trees." The winner of the prize offered by the Woman's Club for the bes poem written by a high school pupil was Ruth Jones. Rev. Stanley White after a few words of encouragement to those who participated in the contest, presented the prize. Ruth Jones then read her poem. THE PINE ON THE CLIFF It stood like a lonely sentinel, There in the shadows gray, The only tree, that whispering pine, Stood there day by day. High on the cliff where the eagle soars, That lonesome pine still stands, And to the people far below, Reaches out his hands. The program was closed with the singing of "America," and while the trees around the Cen tral Building were being planted, the pupils from other buildings went back to their work, with plans for further planting in the near future, lo the one hundred thirty pin oaks already planted quite a number more will be added.
