Welfare Officer
Present
Interesting Program
Rendered By Those
Attending
The Business and Civics Depart- j
ments of the Woman’s Cluh held their |
last meeting of the spring nt the
home of Mrs. C. V. Whitley on Thurs
day afternoon, May 13. After reports
from the various committees were
heard, a committee was appointed to
secure a Traveling Library for use
during the summer months. The club
decided to present the play, “Rose
Time” on May 28, under the able
leadership of Mrs. A. A. Pippin, the
following program on “citizenship”
was given: Talk on county govern
ment, Mrs. F. E. Bunn; paper, “State
Legislature," Mrs. John Kemp.
Mesdames E. M. Hall and J. F. Col
trane accompanied by Mrs. John D.
Horton, rendered a vocal duet, “A-
Maying.” This was followed by a
most helpful and inspiring talk on
“citizenship” by Mrs. T. W. Bickett,
Wake County Welfare Officer. She
especially stressed the fact that the.
ballot for women is a great respon
sibility and that the character of our
future citizens depends almost entirely
on the home training of the children
of today. She also urged the mem
bers to vote for men of strong per
sonal character.
At the close of the meeting block
cream and wafers were served by the
hostess.
PAVING ABOUT FINISHED '
(By G. H. Wright, Jr. )
Wendell, May 18.—Wendell streets
have been torn up for a long time but
they are now about ready for traffic
again. The two principal streets are
covered with “that great white rib
bon” that so becomes North Carolina
and its principal highways and city
streets. The paving job in Wendell
is almost complete, that is, for this,
letting.
Main street was opened up for the
first time late Saturday afternoon and
the number of cars that traversed
ic on Sunday goes well into four fig- !
ures. A large number of cars bear
ing the tags of other towns were seen
on the streets that day showing that
they appreciate what Wendell has
done toward providing a good place to
drive. As ;o Raleigh visitors, they
found the Pool road in excellent shapw
for “airing out” and soon found them
selves confronted with the beautiful
white streets of this little city.
On the south end of Main street,
and the west end of Third street an
opening of about twelve feet was left
in the center of the street that will
soon be planted in grasses and shrub- j
bery that will not be hard to gaze
upon.
Visitors will always find a welcome
in Vendell and the town is ready to
put forth the assertion that once you
see Wendell you will love it. As C.
R. Boone used to say: ‘“Come and see
is all we ask." . . ;
ST. JOHN’S DAY
It is rather early to talk about
St John’s Day, which will be cele
brated at the Oxford Orphanage on
Thursday, June 24, but the fine pure
bred pigs that will be just the right
size for the occasion is an indica- j
tion that there will be plenty of bar
becue for the mutitude.
The Orphanage grounds become
more beautiful as the years come and
go, and those who have not visited
the institution during the past two i
or three years will see improvements
on every hand. The bright faces of
the children, too, show that unusual
care and attention has been bestowed
on them.
Mr. R. L. Brown, the very able and
greatly beloved manager, has not as
yet announced the program for St.
John's Day, but it is going to be a
great occasion, and Mr. Brown says
that he hopes everybody will come
and enjoy themselves. —Oxford Led

I
COLLEGE DATA ON
COUNTY HOSPITAL
Data on Wake County’s need for
a general county hospital and the
feasibility of converting the county
home into a general hospital will be
collected by a committee of three
doctors appointed last week by the
Wake county Medical Society. The
committee will then meet with Dr.
A. C. Bulla, County Health Officer,
and Dr. 0. L. Ray, a member of the
Board of Comismsioners, and try to
work out a feasible plan for caring
for the indigent sick of the county.
The committee is composed of Dr.
Z. M. Caviness, and Dr. Hugh Thomp
son, of Raleigh, and J. M. Judd, of
Varina.
Several proposals were brought for
ward at the meeting last week in
regard to the care of the indigent
sick. The plan to use the county
home for a general hospital, and
make suitable provision for the pa
tients who could not be cared for at
their respective homes with the aid
of the county was introduced.
An addition to the county home
which could be used as an emergency
hospital was one of the most widely
favored plans, while others urged
the necessity of a regular county
hospital such as several other coun
ties in the State maintain, the hos
pital to be provided by a bond issue
and supported by taxes .
The committee will report to # the
meeting of the society next month.

WOODMEN
HAVE BIG DAY
IN WENDELL
State And National
Deputies Are
Present
(By G. H. Wright, Jr.)
Wendell, May 18.—Monday was a
big day in Wendell for Modern Wood
men. For many weeks the officers
and other active members of the lo
cal camp have been exceedingly busy
making preparations for the biggest
event that has ever happened within
the circles of Woodcraft in Wendell
This camp has the distinction of hav
ing the largest membership of any
I town in North Carolina according to
its population and according to the
address of welcome by Mayor of the
town, W. A. Brame, Wendell is the
largest town in the world according
to its population.
This big event marked the first
visit of the State Deputy M. L. Tre
main, of Winston-Salem and of the
National Deputy, H. V. Reels, of Oak
land, California. These two distin
guished visitors paid tribute to the
excellent work that is being carried
on by the local camp t>f woodmen.
The program began shortly after
six-thirty in the afternoon with a
concert by the Wendell Woodmen Band
After a short half-hour of fine enter
tainment of this description, the
Woodmen, more than 125 strong, filed
into the banquet hall to enjoy one
of the biggest eats they had ever
seeiy Pig barbecue and Brunswick
stew was served with all its acces
sories. There was plenty. No man
left the hall with a hungry stomach
if these in charge knew it.
After supper and after a few min
utes of settling the supper the mem
bers and numbers of visiting neigh
bors assembled in the regular meet
ing hall to carry on the regular degree
work of the camp and to hear some
of the finest lectures on Woodcraft
they had ever listened to. The two
visiting celebrities and several mem
bers of othr camps talked to the
neighbors and this mingled with the
degree work served to make a very
interesting program that lasted way
into the night without boring the
listeners.

JUNE REAL TEST
OF STATE BUDGET
Although the Governor has not yet
issued the joint financial statement
of the treasurer and the auditor
for the period ending April 30, it
was learned from unofficial sources
Thursday that the surplus as on
that date is regarded as assuring a
surplus for the fiscal year ending
June 30.
However, June is regarded as the
real test month for the State’s bud
get system, as all bills for any rea
son held back during the year are
to be paid then, and all institutions
will be anxious to prevent any laps
ing of appropriations due them.
Unusual expenses for the quar
ter, most of which will be paid in
June, include a $500,000 payment to
the Confederate pension fund of
$1,000,000 annually, a payment of
$350,000 on the annual $150,000
school equalization fund, a payment
of $400,000 on the $9,000,000 amor
tization of the State debt; sinking:
fund payments of $214,000 and in-1
terest requirements of $357,000.
“A home is never too humble for !
the spirit of Christ to be found j
there. In some of the humblest I
homes I have felt the spirit of Christ
in the atmosphere, and in other
homes furnished in beauty and ele
gance I have not found it,” said Rev.
M. A. Barber in his sermon at Christ
Church at Raleigh, Sunday, in sneak
ing of the Master’s choice of the be
loved home at Bethany for His Ascen
sion instead of the scenes of H s tri
umphs.
SUNDAY TO BE
BAPTIST HOME
COMING DAY
Many Additions To
Church During
Past 2 Years
In the two and a half years since
the return of Pastor Davis to the
| Baptist church, there have been more
than one hundred additions to the
membership by baptism, besides these
I probably half as many have been re

just as many of these as poss hie at
the service next Sunday morning and
of course, all those who were mem
bers before are expected to come.
Mr. Davis will preach a special ser
mon to church members on “The
Church and the World.” He desires
especially to have the young people
present, since he wishes to speak of
some things which relate to them and
the church in a very vital way. It
will in no wise be a sermon that crit
icises, but one that will attempt sym
pathetically help every member of the
church.
. The hand of fellowship will be
given to all members received with
in the last two years. And other
Christians living here, who are mem
bers of Baptist church elsewhere, nre
very cordially invited to unite with
the church Sunday. The Lord’s Sup
per will be observed at the service.
On Sunday night, the pastor will
speak on the subject “The Partial
ity of God.” Is God partial and why,
will be answered. This is a subject
every one should be interested in and
a large congregation is expected to
Bb present to hear.it. There will be
special music at the services Sunday.

CREDITS IT TO PRAYER
Durham, May 16.—“ Prayer has done
it all,” declares Miss Hawkins Gil
bert, aged inmate of the Durham
county home, whose sight is being re
stored to her after blindness for a
number of years. The restoration is
not complete, but she is now able
to see with an increasing degree of
vision, expressing the hope that her
sieht will be fully restored in due
time.
Miss Gilbert attributes her re
turning sight to the prayers of a
small group of men composing the
Durham Christian Men’s Federation,
who have been remembering her for
some months in their daily devo
tions. She gave expression to her
feelings at a meeting of the group
which conducted services at the
home Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock.
There has been no treatment, and
no operation. Her health is good, her
blindness having been her only
handicap.

MEETING OF W. M. S. OF
THE BAPTIST CHURCH
The monthly meeting of the Wo
man’s Missionary Society met Mon
day afternoon at the church. Mrs.
J. B. Outlaw led the meeting. The
subject cowidered was “Hospitals.”
Members of Mrs. Outlaw’s Suuday
school class gave a fine program. She
served ice tea and wafers to those
present before adjournment. Several
matters of community interest and
welfare were discussed and plans be
gun looking to more active service
on the part of the membership.
Th s Society has a large numb r of
good women deeply interested in the
extension of the Kingdom of God, and
is one of the most useful agencies for
good in the community. If the men
of the churches in our town could only
be enlisted in the church’s work as
the women tre, we are sure the many
young men and older ones too, who
now take no seeming interest what
ever in church work, would realize
its value as they do not now. Why
not have a Men’s Federation, a Lay
man’s movement, or even a Men’s
Missionary Society ? They are needed
and certainly ought to be possible
among so many men in the churches.
