CHRISTMAS BOOKS Do you not remember having read some book that meant a great deal to you? And do you not feel more closely kin to some one who has read the same book? Perhaps this may sug gest to some the solution of the Christmas gift problem. Just to mention some of the sweetest Christmas stories such as "The First Christmas Tree" and "Why the Chimes Rang" and "Birds Christmas Carol" brings a warm feeling to our hearts. The High School Library is enabled to buy most books at prices lower than those of the the book stores. To serve those who would like to order books for Christmas presents there will be some one in the High School Library on Friday of this week and Monday and Tuesday of next week from ten till twelve o'clock. CARD OF THANKS Mr. Charles Speight wishes to express his most sincere thanks to the people of the com munity who have shown him and his family so many kindnesses during the illness of his wife. The remembrance of them will be held in fond memory. 1 V ft . .- : , The Tschaikowsky Quartet Third Number of the Lyceum Course at the Central School December 8lh MRS. ANNIE F. SPEIGHT Mrs. Annie F. Speight, died at her home in Rosemary Sunday night at eight o'clock after an illness of fourteen days with cen tral pneumonia. She is survived by five children, four boys and one girl, by her husband, Mr. Charles F. Speight, two brothers, Messrs. Sam and Wade Marks, and three sisters, Mrs. J. II. Matkins, of Rcanoke Rapids, Mrs. Van Moore, of the county, and Mrs. Emma Collier, of Rich mond. Mrs. Speight was one of the best and one of the most beloved people of Rosemary.1 Her kind and affectionate disposition won her many friends. She was very active in the life of her Church, the First Christian Church, one of its leaders in the work of the Ladies Aid Society. In whatever community activity she could serve she offered her services. Her beautiful character is being reflected in the lives of her child ren who are showing the effects of her training. The funeral service was held in the Baptist Church at two thirty o'clock, Tuesday after noon, Rev. A. G. Carter and her pastor Rev. C. W. Riggs, officia ting. The bursal was made in Cedarwood Cemetery. "Safe upon the farther shore, land3 the voyager at last, Father, in thy gracious keeping, leave we now thy servant sleeping." Third Number Lyceum Here Thursday The Tschaikowsky Quartet, which is scheduled to appear in the School Auditorium next Thursday evening, December 8, is what is called a piano quartet. The instruments used are a vio lin, viola, cello and piano. TheJ personnel of this quartet is in every way equal to the Kneisal and others of like character, each member being an artist of recog nized ability, and the music they play is in every respect of a high standard. Because of the differ ent instruments used this quartet can provide music of a greater variety than a string quartet. Hence the program is varied and more interesting and admits of no monotony. While the Tschai kowsky always presents on its program some purely Chamber Music numbers, it also presents on the same program a movement for one of the standard sympho nies, or a special arrangement for quartets of some of the many beautiful and well known com positions from the piano and violin literature, and one of the beautiful overtures which are always popular. 'A distinctive feature of the Tschaikowsky Quartet is the solo work done by the individual members of the quartet. In ad diton to the singers, there is al ways a solo by the violinist, and either the cellist or the pianist. This cannot be done by purely string quartets. The educational value of the Tschaikowsky Quartet appeals to students because it introduces them to a much greater variety of musical compositions and musical literature than can other quartets which are compelled to limit themselves to one form of music only.

Ignorant of the Ten Commandments "An examination of 1,373 boys and girls in a New York school, as to their knowledge of the Ten Commandments, showed that approximately 57.1 knew the com mandments, about 'Kill had heard of them. "It is surprising to know how few of the boys and girls of to day understand the Ten Com mandments. They are the rules of conduct which should and must be known. If all boys and girls observed and followed them, they would undoubtedly be and remain good American citizens. The great trouble today is that wo are not taking enough interest in children. Selfish parents lie lieve that after birth their duty to their children is ended. They believe children should be allow ed to grow up like weeds in the field, to go where they like, when they like, and do what they want, an;! the over in lulgent parent realizes his mistake when the boy or girl has violated the law and the name of the family is being disgraced. The damage has then been done and it is too late to remedy the mistaue. "If crime is to be diminished the adult population must take greater interest in the growing children. Every parent should be watchful of his children and see that they receive the neces sary preliminary training in the schools and should insist that at least one day each week the child should be in some religious school getting the benefit of God's teaching. Too little is known of the Bible." From an Address by the District Attorney of Kings County, N. Y. (Brooklyn). Presbyterian Church Rev. Stanley White, Pastor Miss l.ury Crisp, Organist. Mr. J. H.

What joy it must have been for her to meet her friends that had gone on before. She was nearly thirty-six years old when she died, and many of those years were spent in the service of her Master. May the Lord bless her husband, children, and other re latives, and help them to meet her in the Paradise of God (Rev. 2:7). BOOK WEEK-DECEMBER 11-18 How often do we teach our boys and girls to read, and then when we have disclosed to them glimpses of the wonderful secrets that magic key can open we fail to provide for them the books that can broaden their horizon, stir the imagination, give poise and lead to the ultimate holding, even in old age, of that much sought after chaarcteristic "Yrouth"! We hear wise men deplore the the lack of intelligince and poise in the American citizen on the one hand, and on the other we hear "the hope of a democracy is the growing intelligence of its people," The habit of wide reading is one than which there are few more valuable. In books we have the composite experience of mankind, and for those who read, it is posible to gain that experience or much of it in the short period of one life, and to add new chapters of achievement. The week December the eleventh to the nineteeth will be observed in our community as Book week, " During that week, Give a book Buy a book Read a book Lend a book The days of the week have have been set apart: Sunday: "Read a Book day" Monday: "Our Boys and Girls Day" Tuesday: "Night School Day" Wednesday: "Wee Tot Day" Thursday: "Parent's Day" Friday: "High School Book Day" Saturday: "Scout Day" During this week the Parent T'.'acher Associations are oing to make a particular effort to put in the school libraries books that will help our boys and girls to be happy, help them to be wise and encourage them to be good. The pupils themselves will be working toward this end. The children of the Rosemary and Roanoke Rapids schools will hold a book fair on Friday evening Dece'mber the ninth, at 8 o'clock. They extend a most cordial invitation to their friends to attend. Among the features of the week will be story hours for the Wee Tots in Rosemary and Roanoke Rapids, and the Scout Wienie Stands. Watch for further announcements!

Girl Scouts Conduct Impressive ' Initiation Service The most impressive service of the Girl Scouts yet to be given was the initiation service con ducted Wednesday when two captains, three lieutenants and fifty-five girls were initiated as Girl Scouts. All of the girls had passed their tenderfoot tests and were presented with certificates from headquarters. Local direct or, Mary Keyserling, had charge of the service. The girls were formed in the shape of a horse shoe. The captains Ruth Coble and Christine Temple, first lieu tenants Ethel Byrd and Eliza beth Smith, and second lieuten ant Lillie Johnson, received their commissions and uniforms first. They were followed by the pat rol leaders and corporals. Each patrol leader then brought up her own patrol. The service was one of dignity and earnest simplicity. Several questions were asked each Scout, They then stood at salute and repeated the Girl Scout Promise. On my honor, I will try: to do my duty to God and my Country ; to help other people at all times; to obey the scout laws. After this they were presented with their certificates, material for uniforms, insignia, hat and tenderfoot pin. Each girl was charged to keep her pin as long as she wa3 worthy of it. This service marks the first step upward on the ladder, which each Girl Scout must climb.
