To All Ye Pilgrims:
Inasmuch as the Great Father has given us this year an abundant
harvest of Indian corn, wheat, peas, beans, squashes, and garden
vegetables, and has made the forests to abound with game and the
sea with fish and clams, and inasmuch as He has protected us from
the ravages of the savages, has spared us from pestilance and di
sease, has granted us freedom to worship God according to the dic
tates of our own conscience now I, your magistrate, do proclaim
that all ye Pilgrims, with your wives and ye little ones, do gather at

Bakers Lose All
When Home Burns
The home of Harold Baker was
destroyed by a fire of an under
termined origin last Friday morn
ing about 2 o’clock. Mr. Baker
stated that everything was de
stroyed in this conflagration.
Mr. Baker is a tenant on the W.

18 years old to S.

munity at that time decided to be- j
gin to conduct worship services, j
They selected the old one room
log cabin school, Pig Pen Academy, j
for their first house of worship. |
The first preachers that conduct- |
ed services in this Pig Pen Acad
emy schoolhouse-church were the
Reverends John Sasser of Raines
Cross Roads; Daniel Davis of Wil
son County; Pat Lucas, Henry
Renfrow, Hardy Boykin, Ruffin
Flowers, Ben Tippett, and Billy
Anderson of Wendell.
The Pews of the church were
boards lying across sawed off
blocks of wood.
The congregation began to grow
rapidly and the Pig Pen Academy
soon became inadequate to meet
the needs of the people, so under
the leadership of Sister Lee, a
drive to erect a new and larger
church was begun. The site for
the new church was given by
Brother and Sister Bennett Strick

Faculty Honored
Guests of Club
This Afternoon
The Senior Woman’s Club will
meet this afternoon at 3:45 o’clock
in the club house for its regular
meeting. At this meeting of the
club, the honored guests for this
occasion will be the Wakelon
School faculty.
The speakers for the occasion
will be Franklin Jones, principal
of the local school and Mrs. Ray
mond Pippin, the school’s libra
rian.
This being National Education
month and also “Know Your Li
brary” month as designated by
Governor Hodges, the club’s theme
will be woven around the two.
Mr. Jones will speak on the edu
cation facilities of the school in
connection with the district, com
munity and state. Mrs. Pippin’s
talk will explain the function of
the school library in connection
with the services it renders to both
the school and community.
Mrs. Exum Chamblee, president
of the Senior Woman’s Club, said
that this is the first time that the
local school has ever had a full
time librarian, and it is a service
that the patrons of the school and
surrounding community should be
proud.
The community library, housed
in the Woman’s Club, was begun
as a Finer Carolina Project. This
library now boasts of more than 1,-
061 volumes, according to Mrs.
Frank Wall.
Mrs. Wall stated recently that
the committees working with the
community library are desirous of
obtaining a permanent home for
this library some time in the fu
ture. She said that the space is
very limited for the addition of
more books.
According to the Gallup survey,
six out of ten Americans have not
read a book in the past year.
They report that 26 percent of
the college graduates are in this
group; 57 percent of those with
high school diplomas, and 82 per
cent of those whose schooling
stopped at the end of the eighth
grade. Yet all these people can
read aMeast the Bureau of Cen
sus records them as literate.

Since ours is a monetary, rather than a barter economy, our
government and banking institutions must provide an adequate sup
ply of money. As our economy grows, naturally our money supply
should grow in approximately the same proportion to handle the in
crease in the volume of transactions.
From 1910 to 1955 the nation’s money supply increased from
10 billion to 130 billion dollars —a thirteen-fold increase while
the physical output of goods and services tripled in that period.
Prices have risen three-fold since 1910. To finance the war the
government had to borrow from the banks. Since the war the money
supply has increased about 3 per cent per year which is about the
same as the long-term growth rate in our physical output. Continued
growth of the money supply at this rate can be considered normal
rather than a prelude to runaway inflation.
