I say children because no matter how their bodies become the minds of the inmates are childish minds as are most of their impulses and actions. It would be better for them and for those who tend and train them if all impulses were childish; grown up impulses without self-control complicate matters dreadfully. Os course you know that the Caswell Training School is our state institution for the care of feeble-minded; that it is located near Kinston; that the appropria tion for its maintenance is inade quate to the demands made upon it; but you may not be personally acquainted with the place. It has been some years since I saw it last; but the buildings made far less impression on me than did the children. I never saw the worst cases, but shall not forget the nearly grown girl who lay all one summer afternoon on the grass in the yard waving her overall clad legs and screaming. They said she had those spells. Nobody paid any special attention; she was not sick and they couldn’t stop her anyway. Then there was the young man who thought he was a preacher and who was forever planning to go off to an appointment and who never could remember where he was planning to go. The girls who ran away and spent the night in the woods, ar riving at the Kennedy Home be fore early breakfast, were funny. They told our girls in the kitchen that they ran away because at the Training School there were so many cases of measles scarlet fever, whoopingcough, diphtheria, itch, and every other disease they could think of. Not a bit of it was true. When my husband went to speak to them after having phoned Dr. McNairy where they were, he said “Good morning,” and one of them answered, “No, it’s not. We’ve been bad again; running away.” They were as happy and as irresponsible as three-year-olds. One of the happy incidents occa sionally taking place at Caswell is discovering that a child sent to the institution is not feeble cause of conditions of living. In minded, but merely retarded be such cases arrangements are made for the advantages of education in other surroundings. A tiny girl in our orphanage described Rn her own way the sending of a little THE FOUR-COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN. ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER THIRTIETH, 1934 Wakelon ended a very success ful football season in Wendell last Wednesday with a 12-0 win. It was also Wendell’s last game. Wakelon’s first score came early in the opening quarter. Wakelon’s ed a pass on the 4$ yard line right half-back, John Moore, intercept after the kick-off and ran for a touchdown. William Hoyle’s try forextra point failed. In the second and third quar ters Wendell had everything its way. However, in the final stanza with the ball on its own forty yard line, Wendell lost thirty yards in two straight penalties, giving Wakelon the ball on Wen dell’s ten yard line. A short pass then brought the final score. Try from W. Hoyle to Richard Hoyle for point failed. Early in the second quarter Per kins, star Wakelon back, was in jured. Moore, Hoyle, Ferebee and Gerow starred for Wakelon, while Scarboro, May and Whitley play ed best for the losers. To Give Play Again For the benefit of those who did not see “Lookin’ Lovely” at the school house last Friday night, the senior class play will be given again, probably next Wednesday night. Although there was a small at tendance due to the great amount of rain Friday and Friday night, the play was ably presented. The cast includes six boys and six girls. The play is a delightful comedy, dealing with a girl who is about to lose the old homestead. It will be given at eight o’clock. Admission will be ten cents for all school children and twenty cents for adults. Who takes the pains will take the prize. boy to us. “You see,” she said, “they sent him to the Training School, but he couldn’t pass the examination for an idiot, so they sent him here.” And he proved able to learn and develop normally. And you’d be surprised at how happy those children at Caswell are most of the time. You’d love to hear them sing and you are glad they are taught all they can learn of books and of work, even though they may at times be like the one who told us that some days she had to wash so many milk cans she didn’t get time to work at all. Just now the 650 children at Caswell are looking forward to the coming of Santa Claus with toys and confections. Great strap ping bodies contain minds that are longing for the toys of little chil dren and the goodies that all Christmas stockings should con tain. For they will always be little children, dependent upon others for food and clothing and happi ness, “the least of these,” yet His who came at Christmas to bring joy to the world. Let* us, in His name, remember them with what ever we may be able to give. Club News The November meeting of the Zebulon Woman’s Club on Tuesday p. m. was featured by a program given by members of the Garden Club of Wendell. Mrs. J. T. Allen, president of the Wendell organi zation presented John Mattox, so loist. Accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Mallie Todd Mr. Mattox de lighted his hearers with The Trumpeter’s Song, Pale Hands I Loved, and later in the program, The Prayer Perfect. Mrs. C. S. Hobgood spoke o n evergreen shrubs, using branches of each as specimens. She advised the use in this soil and climate of abelia, acu ha, eleagnus, deodora. box, oleander, mahonia, pyracan thia, privet, and others, giving di rections for their care. Mrs. John Mattox spoke of blooming shrubs, mentioning as desirable for this section altheas, spircas, honeysuckles, syringas, deutzia. weigelia, crepe myrtle, cydonia, forsythia, broom, hydran geas, oweet shrub and lankana. For small trees the flowering peach, plum, cherry, dogwood and redbud were recommended. By a rising vote of thanks the Zebulon Club expressed their ap preciation of this interesting and informative program. Mrs. C. V.

Mrs. Me Innes demonstrated crystalizing orange peel and the making of candies including dip ping chocolate creams laying spe cial emphasis on methods of mak ing smooth boiled fondant. Because of the fact that the date for the next meeting falls on the day after Christmas and be cause of the rush of work prior to that time, it was decided to hold no regular meeting in December. ANNOUNCEMENT The Dec. meeting of the Garden Department of the Woman’s Club will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 4, with Mrs. J. F. Coltrane hostess. Mrs. A. S. Hinton, Chmn. News Briefs No Set Relief Wage From Washington has come the word that the 30 cents per hour which has been the minimum paid relief workers will no longer be the standard. Instead wages will be in accord with those paid in the communities where the work is done. This is thought to be a step towards removing many from the lists as it has been found that private individuals have been un able to compete with the govern ment and the indolent have pre ferred the shorter hours and high er pay. Three-fourths of the world’s cot ton is produced in the United • States. Several Auto Accidents During the Past Week On Saturday night of last week J. C. Stallings of Pilot was killed in a collision of his car with a truck about four miles this side of Raleigh. His cousin, Armed Stallings, was critically injured and was taken to the hospital. J. T. Alford, Fred Alford, Robert Car lisle and Horace Jones were also in the car, but seemed not to be seriously hurt. On Sunday p. m. a car owned and driven by C. M. Watson and occupied by members of his family and friends of his children was struck by one driven by a negro near Rolesville. J. K. Watson’s nose was fractured, Allan Hinton small son of. Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Hinton, suffered an injury to his hip, Dorothy Conn, daughter of Mrs. T. M. Conn, received a slight cut on her leg, and other members of the party were shaken and bruised. The car was too badly damaged to be driven home. For tunately a cousin of Mr. Watson’s chanced to be at Rolesville and brought home all the victims of the wreck. On Monday p. m. Mrs. Ruric Gill and her brother, Graham Dean, were returning from Durham where they had gone to take their mother to Duke Hospital, when their car was sideswiped in Ra leigh by a truck driven by a negro. A moment later this driver ran into another car and was arrested and jailed. CHURCH NEWS BAPTIST Keep in mind the meeting of the Raleigh Sunday School Asso ciation with the local Baptist church on next Sunday n. m. and do not fail to attend. The Northside Circle of the W. M. S. met on Tuesday p. m. with Mrs. Victoria Gill. The lesson for, the day, the first part of the book,! The Gate of Asia, was taught by Mrs. Theo. B. Davis. Mrs. J. O.

Mrs. Hinton, leader, was kept away by the injury to her son in an auto accident Sunday. Nine members were present. Hales Chapel had a Thanksgiv ing service on last Sunday with an offering. They believe when this is completed it will exceed the gifts by the church last year. You may be served a chicken dinner by women of the Baptist Church on Thursday of next week at the Woman’s Club. Price, with coffee and dessert, 50 cents per plate. “Bad temper bites at both ends. It makes one’s self nearly as • miserable as it does other peo ple. NUMBER 22 4SW’ No doubt my vast audience r readers (me, myself and the proof reader, not to mention the lino type operator), will remember la: . January when I warned all of you to do your Christinas shopping early. You know, back when a'l ; the nicer gifts at Woolworth’s had been picked over and the balance of them were selling two for the price of one. (Pardon me, Mr. Mayo). Well, if you’d done it then instead of waiting until now, you’d have a lots nicer and cheaper time. But of course you didn’t. I didn’t either. I did buy a rifle for my brother and a tennis racket for another But I’ve grown tired of playing with them. Besides the rifle has a cartridge jammed in the barrel. Four strings are broken in the racket. The only thing that had “Do not open until Christmas” on it is my pocketbook, and that didn’t need it. Bought two rabbits for a nephew and planned to raise enough for eating as well as the rest of the nephews, cousins and so on. They didn’t multiply. In fact, they couldn’t even add. They didn’t know their multipli cation tables. Plumb illiterate, that’s what. Just a platonic friendship, I sup pose. Maybe one of them was a pansy. Maybe I should have sprinkled them with “Night o’ love perfume” State College Actors Coming On Friday night, December 7, at 7:30, Mr. E. H. Padget of the English department of State Col lege and his players will put on one extemporaneous one-act play and two impromptu one-act plays at Wakelon. The Dramatic Club of Wakelon High School is sponsoring these three one-act plays, which are be ing given by probably the ablest amateur body of players in North Carolina. It is indeed an honor to have these State College actors come to our school. The admission for this event will be ten cents for all school chil dren and twenty cents for out siders.
