Tuesday we were given a briet re sume of NYA projects now in opeia- tion In Moore county, our informant being the district head, Miss Myrtle McCaskill, who has charge of the work in Moore county home-making project, which has 42 girls enrolled. Driving to a point directly behind the hand.some new community build ing in Carthage, we alighted and walked toward a neat white cottage. There was shrubbery at the entrance to the grounds, and a pineneedle- coveied walk led through a yard, that had recently been seeded to grass, to the front door, upon which hung a pretty Christmas wreath in homelike fashion. “The boys planted the shrubbery," Miss McCaskill remarked as we near ed the house, which had an attrac tive foundation planting. Entering the living room, we found a group of ten or twelve girls appar ently enjoying a quilting party. "This is not the work room, but we have btcn making comforts in here,” Miss McCaskill said. "The Farm Se curity organization furnishes cot ton and percale and the girls make them into comforts, which are turned back over to the Farm Security for distiibution.” Skirts f<iT Kt-d Cross Entering the real work room to the left, we found another group of girls, some busy at sewing machines, ethers doing handwork.

S. c Stanley W. Burke Wins Be lated Award for Heroism in Belleau Wood For saving the life of a non- conimi.ssionod officer of hi.s com pany in Belleau Wood 22 year.= ago, Stanley W, Burke of Mill- bi'ook, N. Y,, formerly of South ern Pines, was decorated with the Distinguished Sei’vice Crosjs by the War Department last week. Ma jor General James G.

Mr. Burke, a lieutenant in Com pany A, 6th Machine Gun Battal ion, 2d Division, Marine Corps, crawled through a shelled area in Belleau Wood the night of June 15, 1918 to rescue a wounded ser geant of his company.

The presentation was made be fore a battalion of the IGth In fantry and a group of civilians, among them Mrs. Burke and their two sons, Roger and Wsring. Mr. Burke is a brother of Frederick H.

January <>th, at 8:30 o'clock. This is the con- eert of the Raleigh String Quartet. Many will be hearing them for the first time while others who have heard these gifted musicians over the radio are looking forward to seeing as well as hearing them. The program, while not entirely de cided upon, will probably consist of Haydn and Dvorak and shorter piece.s. The Dvorak selection is his American Quartet, Those who are familiar with this composer's New World Symphony will recall that he uses in it with great effect, many American folk tunes. The famous "Going Home” melody is, of course, taken from "Swing Low. Sweet Char- lot," most beautiful of negro spiri- tual.s. In the American Quartet the compo.ser has again shown his great appreciation of the value of Ameri can folk music, drau-lng upon it for much of his material. The Quartet is I c’eeply melodious and full of unusual I rhythmic effects. It is interesting to recall that Dvorak's first musical experience was to play the violin at the little inn in the Bohemian village where he W'hat started out to be a gvmk- «« « ^oy he vplay- i hana turned into a real honest-to- evenings, or, on ■goodness hor.se .show at the South-; joined the other fid- |orn Pine.s Country Club show ring on neighborhood to play for iTue.sday afternoon, and one of the dancers on the village green, biggest crowds of the year saw some | earned enough to help I fine pei’fomiancps by the of the Sandhills. ^ Lady-Go-Lightly, owned CROWD SEES PICK OF LOCAL HORSES AT COUNTRY CLUB Gymkhana Turns Into Reals Horse Show.

Its rich melody and fas cinating rhythm must often have re minded him of the old Bohemian dance tunes. His story, of advance ment through his own hard work, has an American touch, too, and there is a certain appropriateness in finding him, at the end of his life, at the head of the American Conserva tory of Music in New York. From the World Symphony, the great Cello Concerto, down to the Humoresque, one of the most beloved of piano pieces, Dvorak’s music has held its high place in the hearts of American audiences.
