at Norwich, N. Y., to the Chenango
Hi.storical Society for the purpose of
observing the paintings of her late
brother, George Cook, who was w'ell
known in the Sandhills during his
lifetime. Says the Norwich Sun of
the exhibition:
The early American period is rep.
resented by old American furniture
dating back to the Revolutionary
time. In several rooms on the first
floor are beautiful and rare pieces
of .intlque Kuropean furniture, once
used in Miss Cook's home in Palermo,
Italy.
AI.SO, on the first floor were an
eKhlbition of family portraits, an ex.
Inhitioii of portraits of titled Euro.

When they grow up, many child,
rcn of Moore county will have the
Sandhills Kiwanis Club to thank for
.setting them on the road to health in
their infancy. This organization sup.
ports a free bed in the Children’s
ward of the Moore County Hospital,
fln,i in a recent check-up with hospl.
tal authorities, finds it not only has
served a great many youngsters .since
it was founded, but has cared for a
wide variety of diseases.
Children from the age of three
weeks up to 15 years have occupied
the Kiwanis bed. One little baby girl
of two months, suf’cring from acute
bronchitis, spent 17 days as a Kiwan.
is.sponsored patient. The little three
weeks old youngster had jaundice and
anemia. A ll.year old girl spent 14
days in the bed with a fractured lf“g.
There have been tiny patients with
appendicitis, eczema, pyelitis, ton-
.'‘llitis, intestinal parasites, empyema,
herni.n, btirn.i. inflamation of bladder,
cpilcp.sy, brnnfhitis, Tiieningiti's. jn.s.
tro entrriti.*!, kidney trouble, infected
car. frartures and other ailment.s.
The bed is supported bv an annual
contiibution by Kiwanis of ,S3t>5,
which is SI 00 a day for the year.
The club raises this money in va.-
rious ways, through it.'; Committee on
Underprivileged Children. A substan.j
tial contribution to its Bed Fund
comes from fees turned in at the
Carolina Orchid Greenhouses, which
charges a nominal sum for inspec
tion trips through this interesting
plant. For years Judge William A.
Way, owner of the greenhouses, has
turned in to the club of which he
was long an active member, the pro.
ceeds of these visitations. Further
funds are raised through the annual
Baby Page in The Pilot. This page,
donated by The Pilot, carries the
story of the bed for the underpriv.
ileged children, and the names of all
who contribute a dollar toward its
support.

During the past seven years we have seen this country plunging toward bankruptcy and
perhaps war. We have seen experiment after experimenting, calling for huge expendi
tures, fail. We have .seen millions of Americans beg for a chance to earn a decent
American li\ing, and millions of young Americans plead for a regular American job,
not a hand-out. We have seen billions of dollars, supposedly spent for defense, vanish
with little or nothing to .show for it.
We Need A New American
Every day people the world
over stop a moment.. .enjoy an
ice-cold Coca-Cola... and go
their way again with a happy
after-sense of complete refresh
ment. The pause that refreshes is
a real idea,—really refreshing.
