Mr. Thomas has been at the head

new law the election is subject to
the approval of the State School Com

The Sandhills outlook is good, but
Mr. Burker strongly emphasizes the
need of good goods. “If the growers
■would cooperate to get a stringent
law to prevent the shipment of green
stuff, culls and inferior quality it
would be one of the gr.^atest influ
ences in holding this market to a
high position,” said Mr. Burker, “It
is most ruinous to put culls and poor
stuff in packages for people to buy.
It is the business of every packer to
do all he can to prevent any ship
per from unloading inferior fruit on
the maiLet to which shipments from
this section are consigned.
Quality is Good
The reports from the orchards in
dicate a better quality of fruit than
for some years, the climate and
weather conditions along with better
care of the orchards holding worms
and insect damages to the lowest
notch in a long time. The farmers
have gathered up drops more care
fully, and disposed of infected mater

To Explain Needs of
Underprivileged Child
Rev. J. Fred Stimson to Preach
at Special Service Sunday
in Baptist Church
A special service will be held at 11
o’clock Sunday morning in the South
ern Pines Baptist Church, sponsored
by the Kiwanis Club of Aberdeen in
the interest of its fund for the hospi
talization of underprivileged children.
The Rev. J. Fred Stimson, pastor of
the church, will preach, telling his
congregation about the worthy cause.
The Kiwanis Club adopted as one
of its principal objectives for this
fund for the
support of a 'bed in the children's
ward of the Moore County Hospital.
One dollar cares for one child for one
day in the hospital, and the club’a
goal is the supporting of a bed for
a year. It has raised to date, through
benefits and through the sale of ita
“Bed Fund Tickets” well over half the
sum needed. It is not the purpose of
the service on Sunday morning to so
licit funds for the cause, but to tell
the people of the need of aid for
children, many of whom need hospi
talization but are unable to enjoy the
advantages of hospital treatment be
cause of the financial condition of
their parents.
The public is cordially invited to the
service on Sunday morning.
