CITY SCHOOL ADOPT HEALTH PROGRAM Health Program Organized In Each Room Inspectfon By Graduate Nurses TO ORGANIZED EXERCISE The Roanoke Rapids city schools are putting into opera tion this year one of the most efficient health and physical edu cation programs ever attempted in a North Carolina school. At the beginning of each semester local physicians and graduate nurses and a part-time dentist will examine each pupil for dis eases of the throat, eyes, teeth, and contagious diseases. Where diseases are found steps to cor rect them will be taken. In order to create interest among the students in keeping themselves in the best physical condition Health Clubs will be organized. This club will be supervised by the teacher and a graduate nurse. The immedi ate purpose is to pay particu lar attention to five conditions: General cleanliness and neatness of the individual pupil, head j teeth, hands, and nails. Each j pupil will be inspected every morning and his record will de termine whether he makes the health honor roll or not. Com petition for the highest score among the classes will be de-: veloped. The outside activities of the J child will also be supervised., The recesses will be organized. During the short recesses the children will engage in organi zed play. Various games will be played and equipment for these will be furnished. Participa tion in strenuous exercise at the noon hour will be discouraged as this period is supposed to be for food and rest. In the after noons the teachers of the school will be assigned to duty to supervise the playing of those students who desire to play for an hour after school has been dismissed for the day. “Cuddle Up’’Proves to be Daring Musical Comedy “Cuddle Up” played to a crowd of six-hundred sightseers in the Peoples Theatre last night. The well advertised musical comedy was above the average and fur nished quite a pleasant surprise to those who just wen to see an ordinary show. The dancing, both clog and asthetic, was the best to appear on the local stage in several seasons. Rooney and Sweeny playing the roles of Casey and No-body proved to be entertaining cqmedians as well excellent clog dancers. The dancing honors however go to the No’el Sisters, whose delight ful asthetic dancing was the real feature of the show. The were only mediocre, their forms “Cuddle Up" chorus was a shape ly lot. Although their voices and costumes were superb. They were not very well trained but knew how to dance and as usual was about eighty-five percent of the show. The Lingerie chorus was a bold showing of the latest Parisian styles. Elden Baker, as Tom Randall, wasn’t exactly a “Rodolpho Vaselino”, but he played the part of a heart breaking man pretty well. Kathleen Brennon, as Caroline, and Doris Clare, as Molly, play ing the leading female roles without creating a sensation. They probably are stars, but their light was just a little dim last night. There was practically no con nection between the different parts or scenes of the comedy. The story was conspicuous by its apparent absence. The “Cuddle Up” crew was nevertheless a good opener for the Peoples Theatre considering the fact that Roanoke Rapids is the smallest town on the schedule of musical comedies the size of "Cuddle Up”. CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank the friends and neighbors for their sympa thy and helpfulness during the illness and at the death of my husband. Words are inadequate jto express the comfort their min I istrations were to me during his trying period, j Mrs. A. P. McPherson GOVERNORS ENDORSE COTTON CO-OPS Heads of Six Southern States Call For Co-operation of Growers in The Marketing of South’s Big Crops MEANS MORE MCfNEY FOR COTTON Governor William W. Brandon of Alabama; Clifford M. Walker, Governor of Georgia: Thomas G. McLeod, Governor of South I Carolina; Austin Peay, Governor of Tennessee; T. C. McRae, 'Governor of Arkansas and A. |M. Hyde, Governor of Missouri {have joined in a joint proclama tion calling on the farmers of : t he Southern States to stand loyally by the principles of co operative marketing. These |men agree that the old system j of dumping the cotton crop on the market within 00 days after the crop is harvested means a tremendous loss to the farmer. The Proclamation follows: Whereas the south for more than three generations has pro duced the majority of the cotton used in clothing the world, and whereas the production of this great world necessity has en riched cotton merchants, export ers, importers, brokers and manufacturers, while it has left the south struggling against poverty and a low standard of Jiving, returning to the growers of the cotton such a small por tion of the tremendous wealth which they have created, that the average cotton growers family has been compelled to live on less than S400 per year, Whereas it is now realized that this condition has brought about by the practice of dumping the whole crop on the market during the months of harvest ing thus breaking the market. Whereas»it has been demon strated that by marketing cot ton in an orderly manner, throughout the year as needed, a just price can be maintained and a fairer share of the con sumers dollar will be realized by the producer, thus enabling the producer to improve his stan dard of living. Whereas it is now generally recognized by the leading econo mists. bankers and business men of the United States, that something must be done to bring the agricultural producers into a state of greater prosperity in order to maintain an equilibrium of population between town and country, as well as a more stable economic and social condition in the interest of the future wel fare of all people, and whereas the President of the United States, the Congress of the United States, and the legisla tures of the cotton producing states, have approved the plan of cooperative marketing through their voluntary statements in the belief that this much needed improvement in the financial condition of the cotton grower can best be realized through their cooperation in marketing their products. Whereas the Cotton Market ing Associations in each of the 12 principal cotton producing states in this country are now conducting a nation-wide cam paign for increasing their mem bership and extending the bene fits of cooperative marketing to a largerly increased number of cotton growers, therefore we, the governors of the states of Ala bama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mis souri, South Carolina and Ten nessee believing in the sound ness of this type of organiza tion and in the justice of the farmers combining to promote their economic interests, do here by call upon all classes of our membership to inform them selves of this great economic movement and to assist in every practical way in the successful culmination of the respective state membership campaigns, with the hope and to the end that our people may benefit by their intelligent cooperation the same as has been the case with the farmers in California and other sections of the United States, whose success has been rewarded by a standard of living and Civilization worthy of the history and the traditions of our people. CARD OF THANKSt This to the people, who have been kind and true, A card of thanks we extend to you. And our father in heaven, A blessing will send To all the people who in our sor row was a friend.
