Physical Education Program Great Success. -, \' ■ Monday'flight-about a thous and people-gathered'ih the audi torium of the high school Build ing to witness the exhibition of; the Physical Education program df the local ■ schools and one, thousand people went home feel-: ing that they had spent two: hours not only enjoyably but profitably. Mr. Walter A. Simpson, direc tor of the Department of Physi cal Education/ made a short talk in which he outlined the policy followed in the school. The opening scene showed the daily inspection of pupils in the schools as to care of the teeth, hands, nails etc. This was done by the fourth grade of the Cen tral, School under the direction of Miss Bowers. The inspecting is done by one boy and one girl, designated “doctor” and “nurse”, and appointed to their offices through merit. Similar relief periods are given several times during,the day. For two minutes the children stand and go through a series of simple exer cise. which always prove restful. Miss Foster, of the Central School, had a class of first grad er; to show this splendid phase of work. The outdoor rhythmic games, were played by the chil dren of the Rosemary , school. Misses Farringjr and Chafin supervising. Miss Coble’s high school girls, went through their sotting- up exercises, did some folk dancing showing the Vir ginia reel etc. The closing nujji ber was a gymnasium exhibition given by selected boys, J|v. Simpson directing. An address.'was made by Rev. Lewis N.-.Taylor, who stated that the objectives of-physical educa tion, were the making play eff\ ciont,.teaching rocial adjustment and ■ the developing of a sotind bouy for good health, that the mind, body and soul of a child were benefited by proper physi cal education..

K CEREMONIAL On the afternoon of Novem ber the 22ml on the streets of Weldon fluttered the “Purple and Gold" of the mystie faterni t.jt Dramatic Order Knights of Khorassan. This was the firsl time the ceremonial had enter ed this plain and possibly the i last for many years. Tyros forty 1 ninS strong came to do battle ' with Arabs three hundred strong and for hours the noise of the conflict drowned the sound of all i traffic or order upon our streets. Here we take the pleasure to | offer.our thanks to the Mayor of I Weldon for permitting the use of j the streets as he did and to the chief of the police for. the ser ! vices. rendered in clearing the [streets of traffic and otherwise |.and to the people of Weldon for | the appreciation they expressed. After a few hours of work on the streets the procession moved to the park in the heart of the city where'was served a barbe cue supper prepared under the supervision of Mr. L. T. Gar ner and served under his super vision with the assistance of I some ladies to whom we offer our sincere thanks. To say the least, this was prepared as only Weldon people can prepare and serve, and the visitors were gratified in having been here. j Also we must remember the J J “stunts” on the streets were in | a large measure the means of the success of the ceremonial. To Mr. T. A. Chappell we are in debted for the generous amount of the exercises the public en joyed. These were the product of Mi’. Chappell and his assis tants, Messrs. Jones, Mitchell and others of that committee. iTo Mr. C. F. Gore and Dr. E. D. ! Poe we are indebted for the ad I vertising which brought to Wel don the large representation of the other lodges and several candidates. To Mr. C. E. Carter we are in debted for t he move to stage one of the most successful cere monials held this year under the auspices of Zizi Temple. After the supper the carvan of Knights and Tyros moved to the courts of secrecy, in the new school building, and there began the last journey to the final and last degree of the Dramatic knight. These last sands were hot. Scorched by rays of light they added materially to the rapidly of the march of the Ty ros across their vast distance and the cool resting place in the oasis on their border was grate fully accepted.. Many of the Weldon boys made this last journey to the land of mirth and from their tips may be ascertained the trials of that last weird march. These*Tyros were: W. L. Harris, L. J. Moore, V. B.

Great Sale of Christmas Seals Predicted Indications are' that North Carolina and every other state in the Union will have this year the largest returns from the sale of Tuberculosis Christmas Seals of any year in the history of the movement. The reasons given are: first', the Tuberculosis I Christmas Seals has come to be a National institution in the United States and millions of men, women and children look upon it as an annual opportunity and responsibility which they must meet toward the tubercu losis work. Christmas now would not be Christmas without this little messenger of hope and the opportunity it brings in reach of every body to check the disease. As a matter of fact, disappointment is now* felt dur ing the Christmas season if the Seal is absent from its accus tomed place. The Christmas mail or message is not complete without it. In the second place, the Tuber culosis Christmas Seal Sale has become a business of such mag nificient proportions that no community interests can afford to be without it. It is a money making business for health in terests. The 825,000.000 realized in the last sixteen years or the 83,812,000 realized last year from the Christmas Seal Sale is but one indication of the finan cial interest involved. But more significant than the net receipts of the sale are the figures showing the results ac complished with the money. As Christmas Seal money is not e:[equate to support institutions ' to care for patients, it is used to agitate and organize public opinion to secure sanatoria, nurses, open air schools and other agencies. The total value oi institutions brought into exis tence largely through the Christ mas Seal Sale is in the neighbor hood of $100,000,000 and the an nual maintenance cost for such agencies is between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000. More than 1, 200 State and local tuberculosis associations have been built up and most of these have full time executives. There is a State As sociation in every state, over 700 tuberculosis hospitals and sana toria with a bed capacity of 66, 000 and nearly 600 tuberculosis clinics and dispensaries. The Tuberculosis Christmas Seal Sale movement has come to stay. In North Carolina there are 150 Seal Sale selling organi zations actively at work; with many of them selling seals has become a fine business. Each year these organizations become better perfected using business like methods with the result that the Seal Sales shows greater returns.
