Hawkins :olored school at Warrenton for the 'irst eight weeks of the second semester, it was learned yesterday it the office of the superintendent >f schools. The course is made possible hrough the recovery of $280 of Red 3ross funds deposited in the Bank )f Warren and through the doniiion of an additional $160 by a jhilanthrophic agency, the name of vhich was not revealed. The only lost to those taking this course is expected to be the purchase of a 15 cent textbook, and credit of onelalf unit will be given to those itudents completing the course. "This course in nursing theory ind practice will last for eight veeks or more and, the Red Cross luthorities in Washington assure is that the Federal Vocational 3oard esteems it to be a full one. ralf unit course," Supt. J. Edward Mien said this week in a letter to he principals of the schools affected asking the cooperation of all concerned. "I believe the number of registration is very strictly limited. [ suggest that you and the teacher if Home Economics choose the matriculates from the applicants by a rational process of selection. I suggest further that the course in Home Economics be so revised that here will be no duplication of material in the nursing section. "I. believe this can be a valuable course.

Wood Cutting Bees Growing In Favor The good times enjoyed at neighborhood corn huskings are well known to most North Carolinians but there is another pas;ime now making its appearance in the northern tier of piedmont counties where men of the community gather at the various farms and cut the supply of fuel wood tor the winter. This new pastime calls for more stamina than possibly the corn busking but time is taken for so. hal contact and the bounteous dinner usually served is regarded is sufficient reward for the day of hard labor. In Caswell county, one alert host farmer used the occasion to teach ;he principles of a new farm practice. As county farm agent H. L. Seagrove told the story to Extension Forester R. W. Graeber of the State College Extension staff, this lost had attended one of Graeber's ;imber thinning demonstrations ast winter. When the farmer sent jut the invitations to attend his 'chopping" he had already marked ;he weed trees in his woodland and vhen the neighbors came and saw ;he marked trees, they immediately panted to know why. Questions lew. The host soon showed them how ;ach blazed tree was a cull which lad been crippled in some way or pas diseased or overcrowded. This caused a few caustic remarks but ;he men went to work with a will ind as the day wore to a close the >wner soon had a supply of wood for his stove, fireplace and tobacco mrn. All of the wood came from J :ull trees. The sound, desirable ;imber trees were left standing. As ;he men looked back over their I vork, they caught the vision of a lew farm practice unfolding before heir eyes and one said, "Why it's ike thinning out corn and just as easonable."

C., FRIDJ Mystery Shrouds { Disappearance Of Henderson Man Mystery still shrouds the dlsap. ipeararrce of R. S. McCoin, former j Slate Senator and prominent busl[ ness man of Henderson. Mr. McCoitileft his home on last Thursday for Richmond from which place he was 'to go to his farm near Dinwiddie, Va. When he failed to show up at his farm a nation-wide search was begun that has failed to locate the missing man. Investigators traced him to Richmond where he apparently vanished after buying gasoline at a filling station, and inquiring the direction to Farmville and Lynchburg. t A letter received by Judqe W.

Not Much 'Gin-Cut' Cotton This Year, I Co-op Classer Says ?? v I Raleigh, Dec. 29?The. ratio of I "gin-cut" and two.sided' bales is less than one to 400 in the thousands of bales the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association has handled for its mem. bers this season, according to Benbury Haywood, head classer, who said "even at that gin cut bales are slightly more in evidence this year I than last." At the end of the cotton season "gin-cut" and two-sided bales will be reworked in order that they may be marketed in a manner to obtain the most money possible for coop, erative members. ? ~V.. ir "Gin-cut" bales, Mr. Haywood said, result from ginning cotton while it is green or too wet and from running the gin too fast. Twosided bales result from allowing ; cotton of one staple length to fol- | low that of a different staple length at the gin.

Business Resumes Normal Activity After Holidays Business resumed normal activity here Tuesday at the cl06e of a Christmas season characterized more than usual by peace and good-will. Business houses were closed on Monday., The dearth of social activity indicated that Christmas was being celebrated in the good old-fashioned way. The uncertain weather was probably partially responsible for the atmosphere of the old j. cwujujr vxuioiuiao wucii a avu&i sat by the fire and smoked Ills pipe, mother bustled cheerfully around preparing' for the Christmas dinner, the smaller children played around on the floor, and sons and daughters at home for the holidays quietly read and talked. The warmth of the holiday spirit vivified old friendships, and quick, ened new. The feeling of this season leaves a glow in many hearts as life takes up its tasks again, the visiting depart, and gifts valued for their thought rather than their material value fall into "their places of use. The Season of Love having cleared the old year of festering ill-will, the New Year will have an auspicious beginning. Plans To Wield Rural Forces of Carolina Community organizations in wliich will be welded all the social forces of he rural community in cooperation with the Agricultural Extension Service for the general improvement of farming and rural life will be attempted in North Carolina during the coming year under the guidance of home and farm agents, vocational teachers, the Grange, and other agencies now existing in most counties. Tfrrtowcinn <rf State College is now working on plans for a model community organization and when these are completed a bulletin on "Community Organization in North Carolina" will be published. The plan of organization is modeled somewhat after those ? TTi rrri r-ti o onrl 11UYV XI Jl Upciawuii xxx >xxgxiuw Missouri. There will be a central executive committee for the county svith the proper county officers and svith committees for each community in the county. These commit, tees will be responsible for any program of work to be attempted by the people whether it be in home gardening, canning, poultry raising, soil fertility, home beautification or any other such activity. The county home and farm agents will work with and through the communities attending all the meetings and securing the necessary aid and information where desired. In announcing this plan for a more intense community effort, Dean I. O. Schaub, director of the Extension Service, says the time has passed for the county agent to devote his or her whole time in attempting to work with individuals. At the present time, the home agents have wejl.organized demonstration clubs welded into :ounty federations and guided by county councils of farm women, rhe farm agents also have boards >f agriculture which work with the agents in an advisory capacity, rhere is need, however, for a 'urther welding of community and county effort and this will be atin now eof.im ttrhif>V?

C. Blalock, chairman of the Board of Education, and J. Edward Allen, superintendent of schools. ' Roads are in worse condition than we have known them for years," Mr. Allen said in making the announcement, "being more nearly impassible than on December 20 and 21 in most places. At that time the schools were kept open that the fall examinations might be given and the first semester completed. "Under existing conditions, it seems wise, if not absolutely necessary, to postpone the opening of the schools for the spring semester from January 3 to Thursday, January 5,. by which time, a week from the date ot this postponement, it is hoped that road conditions will be better. "Since there may be other periods of bad roads and snow, or ether conditions which may cause the suspension of school work and consequently the postponement of the closing of the present session, It is wise not to lose mere time than actual necessity requires. It is highly desirable for the school term to end before children have to be taken cut of school because of the demands of the farms. Attendance in May is the poorest in the entire year, and unnecessary postponement of the end of the session until a date well into May would almost certainly cause the loss cf teachers to some of our schools." Mr. Allen said that in most cases the addresses of principals and teachers were unknown during the holidays and asks that chairmen cr secretaries of scnow committees assist in giving notice of the postponement to all parties concealed. I1RST SEMESTER WAS MOST SUCCESSFUL, SAYS ALLEN The first semester which closed 1?i?/vf fVin nhiHfit. Willi ine uegiiiiuiig w mas holidays was a most successful one, Superintendent Allen said yesterday. In spite of the snow and slush of the last few days of schools, pupils managed to complete their examinations and are prepared to swing into the second semester. Approximately 2300 white children and 4,700 colored children attended Warren schools during the fall term, Mr. Allen said, adding that his was practically the same enrollment as of last year. The health of the school children has been unusually good, he said, with no epidemic except a slight surge of chickenpox at Drewry and Norlina. There are 74 members of white school faculties and 113 members of colored school faculties in Warren, the school man pointed out. Among the 74 principals and teachers in the white system, 55 hold class A certificates; 13 class B; and six with class C certificates. Twenty-seven teachers and principals of the colored system hold class A certificates; 27 class B; 12 class C; 43 elementary A certificates, and 4 have elementary B certificates.
