Play Pleases Here;
Given At Littleton
Thursday Night
"Here Comes Patricia," senior
play, which has been praised since
its presentation in the auditorium
of the John Graham High School
last Friday night as the best home
talent performance ever given at
Warrenton, was carried to Littleton!
last night for the entertainment of
patrons of that school. Littleton's
senior play is expected to be presented
here at a later date.
Throughout the performance
here last Friday night generous applause
was awarded the students
for the manner in which they played
their Darts in this popular and
entertaining comedy, and as the
crowd filed out of the auditorium,
which had been packed to the point
of seats in the isles, the comments
of "The best show ever given here,"
"It was splendid," and "Best I have
ever seen," were rife.
The play started promptly at 8
o'clock and went through without
a hitch. The actors knew their
parte and they unfolded their tal-'
ents in a manner which kept thei
performance teeming with pep.
No individual actor completely
stole the show Friday night. They
were all good and the audience,
judging from the comments, was
not prepared to say who or what
was the best thing in the show. J
"Wasn't Clarence Ridout, as Tim
Hopper, good?" would draw forth
the comment, "Yes. but I liked
I equally as well," and "There wasn't
anything to matter with "
The novelty scngs and dance
numbers given by the pupils of
Miss Sara Price's dancing school
were also highly praised, especially
little Miss Elizabeth Hedgepeth's
exhibition.
Those in the cast of "Here Comes
Patricia" were Mary Howard Pal|mer,
Nancy Gillam, Sara Palmer
Moore, Hattie Drake, Pat Egerton,
Ethel Mae King, John Williams, T.
R. Frazier, Bill Ward. Clarence
Ridout and Leonard Daniel.
Those from the dancing school
taking part were Margaret Shaw
of Macon, Nancy Loyd, Ruby Harhis,
Doris Harris, Anne Macon,
Mattie Warren Blalock, Estelle
Boyce, Patsy Rodgers and Elizabeth
Hedgepeth.
The play was; coached by Miss
Elba McGowan. member of the
school faculty. Around $110 worth
of tickets were sold.

Less Physical
Handicaps Among
Negro Students
The physical condition of negroes
attending the Hawkins High School
appears from the report of Miss
Cleone Hobbs, state nurse, to be
better than that of the white students
attending the John Graham
High School in Warrenton.
in practically every one of the
organic disorders listed in the reports
of the state nurse, the whites
showed a larger per cent of defects
in comparison to the number
of students examined than did the
negroes.
One of the most significant features
of Miss Hobbs' examination is
the disclosure of the fact that
negroes do not seem to develop
tonsil troubles to the extent that
white children do. Of the 263
boys and girls she examined at the
negro school she found only 61
cases of bad tonsils and that only
four students had had their's removed,
as compared with 161 cases
in the white schools where she examined
468 students and found
that 121 boys and girls had had
their tonsils taken out.
The reports show that students
in both schools are suffering from
bad teeth, their being 205 cases of
this in the white school and 121 m
the negro school. White children
also suffer more from poor eyes
than do negroes, there being 37
cases of bad vision in the white
school and 16 in the negro school.
The reports of her findings in
both schools are printed below:
John Graham School
Defective, 321; underweight, 123;
overweight, 14; posture, 11; hearing,

in article announcing the meeting,
le writes:
"The cantaloupe industry of Waren
county in the Ridgeway section
s one of long standing and great
mportance as a money crop. Car.aloupes
coming from this section
lave for a long while enjoyed an
nviable reputation in some of the

onditions are now entering the
leal that if not quickly corrected
irill no doubt be the means of th.s
antaloupe soon losing favor in the
arger markets, with results that
pill be disastrous to the growers.
"This fall the Agricultural Delartment
of the Seaboard Air Line
tailway made a rather exhaustive
tudy of the cantaloupe business in
his section, both as regards the
ultural practices and also extendd
the investigation into the vaious
markets to which these canaloupes
go and in the course of
his study have developed a great
imount of information that, if
idapted, should be very valuable

antaloupe growers and it is now
