MOTHER-DAUGHTER DINNER
Last Wednesday night at the
Woman’!? Club House the Girl
Scouts entertained their mothers
at dinner. All the preparations for
the dinner were made by the girls
themselves so their mothers really
were the guests'of honor and not
part-time*, cooks. Twenty-two
mothers • were present. During
the dinner the following program
was A talk on What
Our Troop Has Been Doing, by
Anne Massey. The Scout Laws
and Motto, by a group of twelve
girls. Song and tap dance by
Doris Kimball. Song by Betty
Lee Winstead, and a recitation by
Virginia Bridgers.
The dinner consisted of fried
chicken, mashed potatoes, string
beans, deviled eggs, hot rolls,
butter, butterfly salad, iced tea
and home-made cakes. After din
ner plans were made for the trip
of the Senior Scouts to White
Lake. The dinner is thus far the
outstanding accomplishment of the
Girl Scouts, but in the future we
hope to do many things beneficial
to ourselves and our community.

On Council Os
Robin H’d Farm
Raleigh.—Appointment of Paul
Cashwell, Avon Privett and E. H.
Moser as members of the Advisory
Council of Robin Hood Farms was
announced here today by George
Ross Pou, chairman of the Steering
Committee.
Robin Hood Farms is the unique
vocational project which plans to
make worthy and properly quali
fied Tar Heel boys self-supporting
and self-respecting North Carolina
citizens by teaching them practi
cal farming. Starting with a small
number of boys, it is planned to
increase the number gradually to
500 boys and girls. Practical farm
education will be given by expe
rienced farmers, augmented by co
operation of the extension facili
ties of North Carolina State Col
lege.
The Farms plan to select care
fully a limited number of well pre
pared boys and girls over high
school age and without means.
Education, character and training
will be among the qualifications to
be considered by a committee on
enrollment. There will be no liv
ing expenses to those selected, am
a small amount of spending money
will be provided.
An option has been obtained on
a tract of 2,275 acres of represen
tative farm property, near Pine
hurst. The land is neither the
best nor the worst in the State, af
fording experience under average
conditions. About 700 acres are
cleared, and part are now in culti
vation. The remainder includes
valuable wooded land, lakes, the
largest bam in the State and an
excellent water supply. It is be
lieved by those interested that the
community established near Pine
hurst will be all inclusive and self
supporting.
It is believed also that after
training there, the young men wlil
have little difficulty in getting
jobs on farms or in industries re
lated to farming.
Mrs. Edwin Clarke Gregory, of
Salisbury, is State Chairman of
the Woman’s Advisory Division.
BASEBALL
Three home games are schedul
ed this week for the Zebulon club
of the Tobacco State League. The
first is with Fayetteville on Wed
nesday. On Thursday the Johnston
County League All-Stars play the
Zebulon team here. The final game
of the week is on Saturday when
Erwin meets the Leafs.
The game Thursday with the
Johnston County League All-Stars
is expected to be one of the best of
the year. The All-Stars team is
made up of the two best players
of each of the eight clubs of the
Johnston County League. Conse
quently, this exhibition game will
probably be better than the aver
age game of the regular schedule.
