VOL. VIII.—
THIS, THAT I,
j AND THE OTHER
i
By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS
Last week a small boy looked up
from reading his history lesson and'
announced that he had found where a
man died and was not buried for two
years. His mother doubted his having
-cad it, and told him to read the para
graph again. He did so, then said tri
uphantly: “See! It says ‘Webster died
and two years later Calhoun and Clay
followed him to the grave’.” Histori
ans should be careful to write their
facts so that children may not misun
derstand.
Have you ever noticed the differ
ence in children when they are out
among the flowers? Some seem to feel
that flowers grow only to be pulled—
literally pulled, not picked—and
■-natch blossoms without even asking
permission, frequently throwing them
away in a few minutes. I feel that this
is most often the result of their not
having tried to grow flowers of then
own. Nothing will impress upon the
mind the work of gardening like try
ing to do it; and no one appreciates
flowers as do those who have tended
the plant and waited for the buds to
appear. I wish we could give every
child in this community seeds and
slips and young plants so that they
might through ownership learn to re
spect ownership, as well as have part
in making their country more beauti
ful.
I komv a tiny maiden, four year
old, who is an enthusiastic gardener
From the time she learned to walk she
was careful not to hurt the flowers
She would tiptoe not only through the
tulips, but around all the plants, ofter
putting her tiny hands behind her as
she leaned over to look at a blossom
1 met her on the street last Friday
and she was taking home some seed
that her grandmother had given hei
to plant. I don’t know how much i.-
nature and how much is training; but
I do know that it is a delight to give
flowers to such a child.
At the Home Demonstration Glut
last week there was a free for all dis
cussion of cooking recipes after the
regular, program was over. Different
members gave their way of preparing
certain dishes and the rest wrote down
the directions, if they wanted to kee;
them. Here are some:
Mrs. Needham Pitts makes a salad
of two cold boiled potatoes, two raw
apples, two cucumber pickles and six
hard-boiled eggs, all chopped, mixed
together and served with either may
onnaise or a boiled dressing.
Mrs. Albert Joyner makes noodle
to put in chicken stew. She beats twe
eggs and mixes in plain flour enough
t< • make a stiff douga. Then she roll
this out very thin and lets it stand
until it dries a bit. Next she rolls the
piece of dough in a kind ol cylinder
and cuts across this, making long, nar
row strips which are broken intj.
shorter pieces and dropped into the
boiling broth.
Mrs. Sanford Joyner makes a chick
en pie of a fat hen, boiled till tender
'ken cut into fairly small pieces, leav
ing out the bones. She lines a baking
pan with biscuit dough, rolled thinne:
than for biscuit, spreads the chicken
over the dough, pours over that tht
stock left from boiling the chicken
and then breaks six eggs into the
mixture without beating the eggs. A
top crust is put on the pie and it is
baked in the oven until brown.
Mrs. Clifton Pippin makes chocolate
pies by mixing cocoa with the requir- 1
ed amount of sugar and beating il i
with eggs and butter as for other cus-1
tard, instead of all that double-boilei
process that takes so long.
There were other recipes that;
sounded good but we don’t have space 1
for all—and 1 didn’t get all of them
written down. You just ought to go tc j
that Home Demonstration Club.
Some days ago I heard a young per
son speaking with bitterness of th,
"'ays of small towns—meaning tin ,
people in small towns. Much of wha !
was said was true. There is in every
small town gossip and envy and self-1
ishness and pride and scorn. But small!
towns have no monopoly on these j
evils; they are everywhere that people!
are. And small towns also have love j
and charity and courtesy and civic j
pride and the most charming neigh
borliness possible anywhere. You may j
be less talked about in a big city; but j
1 because you are less known. Tw
things are sure; we talk about folks :
j'c like, and about folks we do not |
>T:e. Only those escape about whom!
we an really indifferent.
And as one who has tried living ii
various places, from the Ohio river ti ;
’' I, ‘ Atlantic ocean, and from the very ,
c< intry-est sort of country to a city
“f more than 300,000, I rise to remark
Mat no place is more delightful for a
‘ .me than the edge of a small town in
I ms section of our state.

Spring Glow
j The Fourth Grade of Wakelon pre
j sented an operetta, “.Spring Glow,” on
Wednesday night of this week, under
the direction of the teachers of this
grade and Miss Buffaloe, teacher of
Public School Music.
Spring, her coming foretold by the
Bluebird, was opposed by Jack Frost
and his elves, who took captive the
Flower Maidens and stole the crown
of Spring. Raindrops, Pussy Willows
Bees and Butterflies were all chilled
by Jack Fcost, who was finally put to
flight by Spring’s Breezes aided by
the Sunshine Fairiee and Brownies
Spring’s crown was recovered and re
stored to her and all were happy save
the Frost Fairies.
The stage setting was attractive
the attendance was good, and the per
formance was enjoyed. It was evident
that much work had been done by both
the pupils and teachers.
The toy band played between the
first and second acts of the operetta
adding much to the pleasure of the
audience.

Charges have been made that the I

Hull lifts been informed by the Ameri- r
[ can consulate in Germany that whili j
there ha- been mistreatment, it i.-l
[thought that “this phase- may be con
sidered virtually terminated.”
Jews in the United States are send
ing to Berlin strong demands that

their race. In London Jews are con
idering a boycott of ail German goods
lln F’oland strong protests are being
made against Germany's treatimf.t

Von Neurath, Foreign Minister ot

Beginners’ Day
At Wakelon

I
! Tuesday. March 28, was a red lettei
tday in the lives of the six-year-olds
lof Wakelon community. Out of thr
j ninety six-year-old who are to enter
school next fall, fifty nine (59) visited
the school for their physical examina
tion. Dr. A. C. Bulla and Miss Eliza
beth Moore, with the assistance of an
other county nurse, examined the chil
dren as to their physical fitness for
entrance into school.
Misses White* and W instead, the
first grade teachers, had a full day
caring for their regular pupils and en
tertaining their prospective ones. Mrs
Donald Pippin, MYs. J. E. Carter, Mrs
Alan Pippin, Mrs. M. E. Shamburgei
and Mrs. Raymond Pippin—all grade
mothers —furnished and served hot eo-
I coa and cookies to th« children. A
Bunny Rabbit was given each child as
a favor.
The P. T. A., together with the oth
er organizations in our community, it
exceedingly anxious to arouse tho pa
rents to a more serious consideration
of the health needs of the school chil
dren, especially the younger ones. We
hope the parents of the thirty-one (31)
i beginners not present Tuesday will
see to it that these children are given
I examinations before the opening of
school next fall. The P. T. A. stands
; ready and willing to assist in any pos
, sible way in this.

Committee Votes
10 To3Forßeer|
i Raleigh, March 28.—After hearing I
! both sides—wets anil drys—on thi j
beer bill, the Senate Committee ap-j
I proved the legal sale of 3.2 per cent J
j beer in North Carolina. At the night
[session, the Senate passed the bill on
its first reading.
j It seems a foregone conclusion that
t both legislative bodies will legalize
Ibe n. By test votes a majority ut the
I ii'i-rn'i rs have indicated their choic*
of a beer law.
In the hearing, the two stock argu
lent of !h - beer advocates were re
venue and “we want beer.” The drys
Id by Dr. W. L. Poteat, argued thi
question from a constitutional and
moral standpoint. But the pressing
need of revenue and the claim that |
beer, paying a tax of $2.00 on every!
31 gallon barrel, will bring into tht
state treasury $1,500,000. no doubl
turned the balance in the minds ot
many good men to approve of thi
beer measure.
