VOLUME XIV.
THIS, THAT, &
THE OTHER
MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS
-r t* *
It worried me Saturday to see
berries from local patches for sale
in the grocery stores. Not that the
berries were not all right at
least, they had been. But they had
been picked and piled on top of
each other until the picker must
have gone all over the berry patch.
Then those squashed berries at the
bottom were in sad condition, juice
running out and their color al
ready fading. Some one had to use
his hands to try measuring out
quarts from the mass and placing
them in trays. The result was piti
able.
No berry, especially a strawber
ry, can stand being mashed one bit
before being offered for sale. And
there should never be more than a
quart placed together no matter
how many you have to pick. I
mean, unless you are ready to do
a real job of mashing them after
they have been hulled. If you can’t
get hold of berry boxes—they cost
about 11-2 cents apiece—take pa
per bags and fold them down from
the tops until you have » kind of
box. Or use all the pans you can
find in the house. Anything to keep
your berries from being mashed.
They will pay you in looking bet
ter, tasting better, and may bring
& better price.

he flower show, held here last
k under the auspices of the
den Club with Mrs. C. G.
ithersby chairman, was most
itable, notwithstanding dry
weather. Os special beauty were
the displays of roses, iris, and an
nuals. An outdoor living-room won
high praise. No list of winners is
available, but the prizes given by
merchants and business men of the
town, were well-distributed and
were appreciated by those to whom
they were awarded.
Mesdames Hobgood and Mattox
of Wendell judged the entries.
Featured In News
and Observer
The News and Observer for last
Sunday carried pictures of the pre
natal clinic that is being conduct
ed in the office of Dr. G. S. Barbee
with Mrs. Ida Hall, registered
nurse, in attendance. The pictures
are unusually clear for newsprint,
and the accompanying article by
Mrs. J. H. Highsmith explains and
highly commends the work done in
these clinics. Among a class of col
ored mid-wives is Amanda Bunch,
who is said to have cared for more
maternity cases than any other
nurse in these parts. Dr. A. C.
Bulla directs the work for Wake
County and only his aversion to
much publicity has kept it from
being more widely publicized.
BANK BUILDING IMPROVED
The Peoples Bank and Trust Co.
ere is housed in more attractive
larters than formerly. Not a dif
rent place, but the same place
aned up and with fresh paint and
w Venetian blinds to add to the
nfort of workers as well as to
appearance of the rooms. It
lid be fine if all neighobring es
'ishments could follow the ex
ile thus set.

Rev. Proctor
Preaches Com.
Sermon Here
Rev. C. K. Proctor, Supt. of the
Masonic Orphanage at Oxford,
preached the annual commence
ment sermon in the auditorium at
Wakelon on Sunday night. The
service was impressive. Led by the
class mascots, small Rob Bell and
Alma Lou Pearce, the class, march
down the aisle, as the congre
gation sang ‘‘Lead On, O King
Eternal”. This was followed by
the singing of “Faith of Our Fath
ers” and a trio by three girls of
the senior class.
Supt. Moser introduced Mr.
Proctor as a man of vision, faith,
and action, and as a personal
friend for many years. In. his open
ing remarks Mr. Proctor declared
that Wakelon’s superintendent ia
dearer to him than any man not
of his immediate family, giving
that as his main reason for accept
ing the invitation to preach here.
The text was taken from the
eighth Psalm: What is man that
thou art mindful of him? The sub
ject was: What Am I Worth? De
claring that a man’s worth is meas
ured by his service to humanity,
the speaker said that to man
have been granted responsibilities
and privileges not shared even by
angels; that he is co-laborer with
God.
The service closed with the sing
ing of ‘‘Love Divine, All Love Ex
celling,” and the benediction pro
nounced by Rev. J. W Bradley.
