Negro Bov Cuts Toe Nearly
Off In Wood-Chopping
Accident.
Eleven year-old Lester Mangum.
well-known Negro boy here, nearly
cut off his .big toe on his left foot
this morning while chopping wood
at his home back of the C. C. Critch
cr residence, South Main street.
That act of cutting his toe, which
happened between eight and nine
o'clock, was bad enough for Man
gum, who became pretty excited and
wanted to get to a doctor quickly, j
Tirst, though, he wanted to reach
his mother, a cook at the B, W. j
Gardner house.
The business of getting to his
mother at the Gardner house was
uppermost on Lester's mind. H,s
grabbed a rag or two and wrapped it
around his bleeding foot. Then he
started the long walk from the
Critcher house to the Gardner
'place. There was nothing sensation
al about what the boy wanted to do,
but what 'happened as he walked
along, was.
Every step he took left a trail of
bright red blood. Halfway down the
street ope of the rags came off. It
was soaked with blood. The time
was fairly early in the morning,
with comparatively few people on
the street, but when they did begin 1
to walk along and to see the bright
red splotches, many of them had
| thoughts of murder. They looked
and looked again, but by that time
Mangum was out of sight. He got
to his mother's place of business and :
then to a doctor's office after nearly '
fainting once or twice.
The toe was cut—not quite off— j'
and the doctor thinks it will grow
back together again. And that is
the end of what looked like a trail
of blood mystery story for Roxboro.
Mangum, incidentally, is a very
black little boy. with a wide grin
and gleamnig white teeth.
Lester Mangum spends much of
his time as a sort of unofficial handy I
man for Dr. Robert E. Long at the
USO Serivce center and at Chub
Lake.

Plans Formed To Awaken City
As To Needs In Recreation
_
| Mrs. Daniel Lane First Speak- ]
er Yesterday On Home !
Recreation.
“Recreation in the Home", was i
theme of a talk here yesterday by I
Mrs. Daniel Lane, wife of the Meth- ]
odist minister, who spoke at first
fall session of the Person County]
Council of Social agencies and ini- j
ated for the council what is planned |
as a series of talks on youth recrea- j
i tional needs in Roxboro.
Stressing the value of planned
recreation in the home. Mrs. Lane
cited personal experiences in her I
own family and showed how child-'
ren and young people can and do
appreciate books, music, games and
family festivities, such as birthdays. I
Building up the play spirit in the j
home is an mportant but often neg- j
lected background factor, asserted
Mrs. Lane, who was introduced bv 1
the program chairman, Mrs. T. C. |
Wagstaff.
Recreation, which is literally a i
re-creating of the spirit, is needed!
as much or more by adults, accord-j
l ing to Mrs. Lane, who pointed out ]
[that recreation for young people,
on the other hand, is more a matter]
of finding proper outlets for their]
] super-energies. Older people, in eon- I
trast, need to be refreshed as well (
as amused. Taking her subject
seriously, Mrs. Lane spoke convinc
ingly. with belief that recreari m
which starts in the home can well |
become the corner-stone for more
ambitious projects outside the'
home.
Present for the meeting, which
was at Hotel Roxboro at nooii, \ere
three new members, J. H. Lewis,
president of the Exchange club,
Rev. C. G. McCarver, of Longhuv: t
Methodist church, and Miss Nettie
Day, FSA supervisor. Next meeting
will take place on Wednesday. Oct
ober 24, when the discussion of re
creational needs will be continued
under a plan which „, if bring 111
speakers thoroughly familiar wi n
local application of recreational
problems.
It is believed by the Council tha.
more and more citizens here are be
coming interested in doing some
thing about recreation and it is
the hope of the Council, according
to Mrs. Wagstaff. that the present
series of talks will further stimu
late ail interest that is already
being shown.

church building would not accom
doatc all who were present.
! The meeting was called to order
by the moderator, and the program
;as submit led by the Executive com
mittee was. adopted. It was the first
I session,’as stated by the moderator
| at the close of the meeting in which
the program was followed through
out the meeting, no motion being
1 offered asking that time be
! allowed the speaker.
■ Probably the most interesting and
I worthwhile item of the meeting was
the reception of live churches
which made application for mem
• bership in the Beaulah. as follows:
Berrys Grove. Bethany, Mt. Har
mony, Olive Branch and Rock
Grove, these churches having for
merly been members ot Mt. Zion
land Flat River associations. After
! having been voted membership the
; pastors and ail delegates from these
* churches came forward and were
| given the right-hand of fellowship
by the moderator. Later the appli
cation ot Mitchell's Chapel, a new
; c hurch recently organized, was ac
cepted.
i .Anoilier unusual thing was that
i- AJy. singlS _one appointed to pre
pare reports on the various depart
ments of church had reports ready
I when called for, a few of these re
j ports laid to be ready‘by some one
other than the writer, but all hsd
•sent in their reports. These reports
showed that the work of the Beau
lah association, had made progress
j during the past year, and were most
j ably discussed, in fact it was re
[ marked by many that at no session
! had there been a higher order of
[addresses than at this meeting. Th*
sermon i# Rev. j. Boyce Brooks',
of the Roxboro First Baptist was
delivered at 12 o'clock. It was the
first session lie had attended and itj
was generally remarked that Rox.
boro had made no mistake in se-j
lecting a pastor.
There were present a number ol
representatives of various denomi
national causes of the State, to
wit: Dr. Carpenter, editor of the
Biblical Recorder; Rev. Earl Brad
ley. representing the Baptist StaM
convention; L. A. Martin of
ton spoke to tile report on PuMQI
Morals; Rev. Mr. Satterfield repre
senting Meredith college; Rev. Uh.
Parker told about the Baptist Qp#’
pilal m Winston-Salem, while N^ 1 .
Mr. Reed spoke to the report £k
Orphanage, the institution which U
closest to the hearts of the folks
making up the Beaulah association.
These bretliren were heard gladly
and without exception gave in
teresting and instructive stories of
j the various causes represented.
Officers for the ensuing year were
re-elected as follows: J. W. NoeH,
moderator.. L. V. Coggins, viee
. moderator; R. W. Hovis, clerk and
M. B. Berry, treasurer.
Lamberth Memorial Baptist
[church is located about five miles
northwest of Roxboro, in one of tlie
: most pruperous sections of the coun.
] ly, witli Rev. L. V. Coggins its pas-
I tor. We do not recall how many
[ members the church boasts, blit
| judging by the dinner which wae
| spread they sure live at home. They
i spared no efforts in looking out for
tlie comfort of all. It was a good
day and one enjoyed by everyone
! W'ho had tlie pleasure of attending.
Tlie next session will meet with
; Providence Baptist church, In Cas«
! well, near Yaneeyville, on the last
Tuesday in September, 1946.
