Sunnyside Garden Club Hears Talk By Robert Holler On Types Of Plants Robert Holler, head of the science department of the Roa noke Rapid* High School was the guest speaker at the Novem her meeting of tne Sunnyside * Garden Club on Monday after noon at 3:30 in the home of Mrs. M. H. Hedgepeth on Hamilton j Street. "Plants Used in the Produc tion of Fabrics, Medicines and '), Insecticides", was Mr. Holler's * topic, and his discussion proved both interesting and instructive. Especially interesting to the club members, were the plants ft named and discussed in the pro duction of fabrics and medi cines. He brought out the fact that plants used in the produc tion of fabrics had to have the characteristic of durability as the product had to be dyed and also to withstand frequent clean ing. Plants which we are most familiar in this group, named by • the speaker were cotton, linen, * hemp, and jute. Cotton, Mr. Hoi ler said, is perhaps twenty five hundred or more years old and was brought to the Jamestown Colony in tire year 1607. America, of course leads in the poduction of this plant. Linen, another well known fabric is produced from tile flix plant and is one of the strongest fabrics. Russia and Poland lead in the production of this plant which is processed by hand. Mr. Holler concluded his re marks by displaying and ex plaining a collection of bottled roots and leaves of plants from which medicines are made. Mrs. A. O. George had charge of the program and introduced the speaker for tne afternoon. Mrs. D. L Wheeler, pres ident, presided at the business session which preceded the pro gram and brought many mat ters of importance to the atten tion of the club. At this time plans were made for the Decem Der meeting of the Woman's -tub at which tile Garden Club —--1 will prevent their annual Christ m** progrifn and act as hostess' as. Members answered roll call by naming their favorite shrub. In the absence of Mrs. Edwin Akers, Miss Omara Dan iel brought and displayed a lovely winter garden which was made in a teapot. Mrs. Frank Cole was welcomed as a new member and Mr. J. U. Loftin, house guest of Mrs. T. M. Jen kins, Mesdames O'Neil, R a i n e Wilson, and W. S. Dean were welcomed as visitors. Artistic arrangements of many beautiful and colorful fall flowers enhanced the beauty of the Hedgepeth home for this de lightful occasion. Mrs. John Priest, Mrs. Sam Durham and Mrs. W. G. Bunch were joint hostesses with Mrs. Hedgepeth. At refreshment time Mrs. Frank Neal assisted the hostes ses in serving a delicious salad plate with Russian tea to the following—Mesdames D. L.

Casper Lewis Is Honored On His Birthday Sunday On Sunday, Cosper Lewis was host at a birthday dinner given by him, in observance of his birthday, at the Rosemary Re creation Club. A delicious full course dinner consisting of barbeque, bruns wick stAw, cole slaw, cake, pie, coffee and cold drinks was serv ed. _ After the dinner, the host open ed his mdny gifts and gratiously thanked each guest. ‘ While waiting to have some pictures made, H. E. Gibson, J. T. GArner and Melvin Dorsey entertAined the group with “Profit And Loss” tales; Arch Ly les entertained at the piano. A p p t <rx i m a t ely thirty-six guests enjoyed Mr. Lewis’ hos* pitality. About The City By Sue Woodall Master "Buzz” Taylor does the original stunt again. Satur day on his fifth birthday, his parents Mr. and Mrs. Richard M. Taylor gave him a party. The party was scheduled for the afternoon, but "Buzz" informed his mother he preferred to have it in the morning, so he could have the rest of the day to en joy his friends and toys instead j of in the afternoon when all par-1 ties seem to have to be held. MrSyTaylor then had to call the mothers and change the hour. No doubt all little boys and girls have felt just like "Buzz” but never knew they could do any thing about it. Hooray! for you Mr. "Buzz”. Mrs. Lucy Warnck of Rock ingham, sister of Misses Mattie and Mandy Taylor of Franklin Street, while viiiting here last week was recognized by her old friend J. J. Johnson when they met in the Thompson Grocery. It had been twenty-five years since they had seen one another and of course had many things to recall. Mrs. M. H. Hedgepeth and Mrs. W. G. Bunch had a hard time getting their hair dressed at the beauty parlor Saturday afternoon on account of phone interruptions, Billy Bunch insist ed on finding out when mother would be home and Mrs. Hedge peth’s cook, getting the dinner, ready, wanted to know what to do next. l Mrs. R. I. Starke will cele brate her twenty-first wedding anniversary today very quietly with her family. Mrs. Starke is known among her friends as not only a very capable person, suc cessful homemaker, but much loved mother. She was telling us about the devotion of her daugh ter, Martha Ann, “Puggy”, a sophomore at Woman’s College in Greensboro. Believe it or not “Puggy” writes a postal card every day to her mother in the smallest possible script which enables her to put a letter on a card. Mrs. Starke says the daily cards mean more to her than she could express. She is look ing forward to the annual Thanksgiving dinner when her family Frances Starke and his family, Elmer Starke and his family, Monroe or "Bobbo”, Ma ry Lou and “Puggy” will all be home together. The children of the elemen tary schools have received their first report card for the school year. The children entering this school for the first year are de lighted with the report card as it does not contain A. B. C. grades but is*a letter from the teacher to the pirents about the child’s school life and work. The elementary school super visor, Miss Mary Hix, informs us this informal letter is used in! order that the child will not be-! come grade conscious. It is a progressive grading system adopted when Miss Clara Hearne was here and proved most ef fective. Of course when the child reaches high school, grades have to be given. On account of the measles, Betty Lou, youngest daughter of the Carl Thompsons’ did not get to go with them to Morehead City this weekend, so had a very pleasant visit with Granny, Mrs. Sam Thompson. The boys, Carl Jr. and David planned to go swimming again but their mo ther just put her foot down and vetoed it. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Anderson and sons “Bob” and Bruce, of Bristol, Virginia arrived Satur day to make their home at 1000 Marshall Street Roanoke Park.

Welcome borne Birdie. • Speaking of Roanoke Park, we drove out there Sunday after noon and could appreciate the progress of our city after seeing the row upon row of attractive individual homes where just re cently an open field existed. Also marking our city’s pro-, gress is the Haliiax County Air J port, being constructed with Federal aid, on the Little Road out from South Rosemary. The road has been tarred and is a bout ready for use.
