CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY
Last week the Highlands Chris
tian Endeavor celebrated the 57th
anniversary of the founding of the
National Christian Endeavor. As a
matter of interest, some informa
tion has been gathered from var
ious sources about the Christian
Endeavor in Highlands.
The organization was started
about 1891 by Miss Olive White, in
tne .Northern Methodist church,
which is now the Highlands Bap
tist church. Some of the charter
members who were present at the
first meeting were Allison D. Alc
Kinney, Charley Wright, Mollie
'Edwards, Gertie Edwards, Charley
Henry, George Henry, Jessie White,
Olive White, Laiira Bell Clark, Ike
Henry, Clift : Hill, Bernice 'Durgin,
and Bob Munger. There may have
been others whose names are not
mentioned.
Each charter member and subse
quent members pledged themselves
as follows:
"Trusting in the Lord Jesus
Christ for strength, ,1 promise Him
that I will strive to do whatever
He would like to have. me do; that
I will make it the rule of my life
to pray and to read the Bible every
day, and to support my own church
in every way, especially by attend
ing all her regular Sunday and
mid-week services, unless prevented
by some reason which I can con
scientiously give to my Saviour;
and that just so far as I know
how, throughout my whole life, I
will endeavor to lead a Christian
life.
As an active member I promise
to be true to all my duties, to be
present at, and to take some active
part aside from singing, in every
Christian Endeavor prayer meeting
unless hindered by some reason
which I can conscientiously give
to my. Lord and Master. If obliged
to be absent from the monthly
consecration meeting of the society,
I will, if possible, send at least a
verse of Scripture to be read in
. ' .i J 11
rcnnncfi tn mv name at tne roil
call."
The organization continued to
flourish and grow under the guid
ance of Miss White. When she
married, some years later, her fath
er, J. i Baxter White, took up the
leadership until October, 1910, when
lie moved to California. The group
found it difficult to carry on, and
finally disbandecf until the fall of
1929, when the late beloved " Ray
mond McCarthy was, installed as
pastor of the Highlands Presby
terian church. Mr. McCarthy re
vived the interest of some of the
old members and gathered about
him many young people, and re
organized the Christian Endeavor.
The present Christian Endeavor,
led by the Rev. R. B. DuPree,
meets at the Presbyterian church
each Sunday evening, with the old
pledge as a guide in all its work
and activity.

Splendid Work Being Done
In Macon County By NYA
The following report of NYA
activities in Macon county was pre
pared for The Press by Mrs. J.
A. Ordway, who is in charge of
the work, and shows a splendid
record of accomplishment:
The work of the National Youth
Administration, which offers em
ployment to young people 18 to 25
years of age, was started in Macon
county two years ago. Two hundred
and twenty-seven boys :; and girls
have been enrolled for longer or
shorter periods. The maximum
number working at any one time
W3S 132.
Marriage has decimated the girls'
units, while many boys have ob
tained private employment, joined
the CCC, or just drifted off. Pres
ent enrollment is 77, with a wait
ing list of 12. t
The purpose of NYA is two-fold :
to benefit the youth employed ano
to benefit the community by con
structive types of work. About 10,
(XX) feet of pipe has been laid from
springs to schools; 11 springs in
closed, and 11 drinking fountains
erected, all under the supervision
of Herman. Plemmons, sanitary
engineer. Rock walls and play
grounds have constituted another
major effort, with road work a
close second.
Under the direction of E. N.
Evans, who last summer attended
Penland Institute of weavers, five
boys at Kyle have learned to make
very good looms. These are used
at our weaving centers, where 16
girls are now employed. We have
one center at Brendletown, one. at
Burningtown, and another four
miles out on the Atlanta highway.
The girls not only weave, but dye
the materials: They are becoming
very efficient in rug weaving, and
are now starting on the more dif
ficult, process of making suitings,
better known as ."jeans." The wool,
cotton warp and rug filler has been
supplied by the NYA.
, Twelve girls who are not within
reach of any center, are visiting
children. This is one of our hap
piest and most useful efforts. Al
together these workers walk an
average of 240 miles per month,
and reach nearly 100 children, all
in isolated localities. As no kinder
garten supplies are provided we are
always in need of them, and ar
very grateful for any donations ;
WORKS in 2 WAYS
OH DISCOMFORT OF
old toys, greeting cards, crayons,
paints, and magazines that after
reading can be used as a source of
scrapbook material. Anything left
at The Press office will be put to
immediate use.
The recent allotment of a gov
ernment truck will expedite our
program of school ground and road
improvement. It also solves the
problem of how we were to haul
to Franklin the rock alreadv donat
ed for an NYA craft building, and
he youths who would do most ol
the work. Should tne iet,,i .
Macon county think it worth while
o contribute the flooring, roofing,
windows and cement, we can put
up a weaving and wood-working
center that will be of inestimable
value to the boys and girls of Ma
con through years to come.
OLD MANUSCRIPT USED BY
FARMER TO BUILD FIRE
LONlON. Dickens' manuscript
of "Pickwick Papers", was once
burned in a farmyard fire after be
ing used as jam-pot covers.
C, G. De Graz, managing direct
or of Sothebys auction rooms where
fourtunes in manuscripts are sold,
disclosed this fact.
A friends told him he said, how
he picked up a scrap in Dickens'
handwriting from a pile of'charred
paper in the courtyard of a farm
house. "That is part of an bid book we
"sed to read." said the farmer,
"but we got tired of it."
De Graz added : "Only 52 pages
of Pickwick remained, and collect
ors gladly pay 1,500 pounds ($7,500)
a page," .
