Mi W« assssssss ""' 1 — ■■"—■s AN ANNOUNCEMENT * The Messenger takes pleasure ir. announcing that it is soon to have its own print shop, com pletely equipped, in operation at YanceyvilJe. All the machinery and equipment have arrived ex cept the linotype ^.nd^the lighting plant, and the linotype has been shipped. This will give to Caswell an up-to-date country newspaper and jot) printing shop that can turn out any size newspaper needed here, and can do much of the job printing that may be'required by the citizens* of the county. And we are pleased to say that a competent printer-operator has been engaged who has had ample experience to enable him to make a first-class paper, and do first class job work. The print shop is to be housed in the store room recently vacated by Messrs. W. H. Hooper and Son. New floors and walls are being put in this building, which is one of the oldest in Yancey ville, so it is said. When everything is in apple pie order we cordially invite the readers and friends of The Mes senger to visit us. Nothing will please us better than to have you come in and brag on the shop. For 22 months The Messenger has been gotten out under very, trying conditions, and we have not been able to render the satis factory service which we hope will be possible in our own shop. The only thing that has made it possible for us to do as well as we hftve is the whole-hearted co operation which has been given to us by Mr. Pate of the firm of A. D. Pate & Co., printers, and by the loyal staff of workers which that shop can boast. Those men have never failed us. AN APPEAL Following the announcement of the early opening of our new print •hop we wish to make an appeal to the readers and subscribers of The Messenger to send us in their renewals and Jo get all the new subscriptions they can for us. The fact is that we are very hard pressed financially now with all the bills that have to be met. The shop is costing over twice as much a« we thought it would. A print shop runs up into money very fast, as to the purchase price, and it takes a whaling lot of money to operate it. In view of the difficulties at tending the establishment of the paper we feel justified in stat ing to all our well-wishers that “now is the time for all good men (and women) to come to the help of the paper,” to paraphrase an old copy book quotation. If you want The Messenger to pass safely between the Scylla and Charibdis and make a safe voyage please help us now (not after Christmas) by sending in'all the renewals and new subscriptions you can. And if you can send us in any advertising and job work please do that. We have heavy bills to meet regularly. Our best thanks are extended in advance for all the support which our friends will give us now when we need it most. NOTICE ABOUT EXPIRA TIONS Beginfting with the tir-t issue of The Messenger in December we wish to state that all subscrip tions which have expired, and have not been renewed, will be cut off. For some time we have been carrying a few subscriptions which had expired. We did this because we thought money was R scarce. But now that tobacco is being marketed it is quite likeh that all who wish to continue as subscribers to The Messenger will be able to pay for it. The date of expiration can be found on the pink label. Please look at this and if your subscrip tion has expired or will expire ‘soon won’t you please send in (>our renewal right-away so that the list can be properly made out by the printer for that first issue of the paper in December. We thank the good people of Caswell for their loyal support of this paper and would say to them now that we expect to do ouf best to justify the confidence \vhich you have in us. If you will sub scribe for and support the paper we promise you that The Mes f senger will work for the interests I of the people of Caswell. EDUCATIONAL DRAMA IN PICTURES (By Flora Mae Hood) Much has been said upon the subject of educational films, but there is yet much that remains’to be said. There is an atigle of this topic that should be intensely in-j teresting to parents and teachers, j It concerns the children of plastic j age. These school children are going i to see moving pictures whenever] the opportunity presents itself, j Isn't this desire for entertainment j a great source of education? Educators tell us that history.] and great literature, as well as I lessons of a moral nature can be taught better through pictures than any other way. When the older teachers of today attended the graded school they could not lead before they first learned the alphabet. The child of the pres ent age has pictures to give him the meaning of the word. If th<) teacher wishes to have the child learn the word ‘'Ball,” she shows him a card with the picture of a hall, and by that indicated is the word BALL. He learns j quickly through pictures. So it is with the children who are more advanced, even with adults. If a great historical epic is seen on the screen, it stays with him. Stories from the masters also take on life, portrayed through the film. The characters seem real/and are remembered. Some pictures of this nature have been given to the public. And. if one will stop to think about the matter he will realize that these great dramas were more interesting and thrilling than any of the thread-worn plots of narrow escapes, or sob by love stories. They have lived. And they have taught the never-to-be forgotten lessons that would never have been remembered had they come only from the pages of text books. Some of the pictures concern ing history and. literature are: “The Birth of a Natoin“The Big Paradeone concerning the Civil War and the other the World War. There is “The A ncic n t Mariner“Faust “Robin Hood,’’ “The Scarlet Let ter,” and a few others from litera ture. “Beau Geste” teaches aj great lesson of brotherly lov<v Such pictures, however, are far too few. This is a new country, our people a pioneer people; and the history of it could easily be taught to the rising generation through pictures. These films would increase the patriotism of the young people. They would also furnish wholesome entertain ment. 1 he parents ana learners wm do well to see that the school children have an opportunity to witness this type of picture. Tell them when they are to be shown. Help them choose the educational | film. By patronizingysuch films | they will become more prolific.. The Gaswell people are doing 1 much in this direction, and it is i remarkable what a wide range of knowledge the school children have concerning these things. The credit is due to the parents and teachers who have cultivated their taste for the best. 1 et the good work go on. Farmers of Pitt county bought 38,700 pounds of pyrotol, the gov ernment explosive at $9.00 a hun dred pounds when the com mercial dynamite is selling for $25.00 a hundred. This is the last season that State College will distribute this material. J. F. STEPHENS IS MAKING FARMING PAY IN HALIFAX 'CeBt'maed from Page ij | 1'n " ' ~ bacco warehouse in South Boston. He states that this job affords him a vacation from the farm, and insists that every farmer should try to arrange for a short vacation each year. Mr. Stephens does not think! that cotton can be grown profit- j ably here, it being too far north,! and plans to eliminate it from Ijisi cropping system. He states'fur-j iher that a tractor is not profit-! able on a farm this size and tfiht j good heavy mules make the best source of power. A study of this farm with its diversified system of crops reveals the fact that farming in Turber viile community and in Halifax county can be made profitable and enjoyable.
