PAUSE AND GIVE THANKS bum when freedom of uaembly is prohibited in so -yvty lands Americans should cherts*, more than ever the rights they have built through the years to gather togethe • in fellowship end service and renewal of friendships. Nowhere but in the western hemisphere, England, Australia and parts of Chins and Africa could 1,600 people gather as they are ex, pec ted to do m. Raleigh next week when the 189th District Conference of Rotary International will meet for two days. Members of 49 Rotary Clubs at eastern North Carolina from Rockingham and Guilford on the western edge of the district eastward to the Atlantic Ocean and along the coastline as far as Carteret county will hold their annual session that is second in importance only to the International Convention. Here they are free to come and go as'they please, to make merry, to work and plan for a better immunity, and £o achieve "Service Above Self." In many lands now overran by the Swastika and the Rising Sun there still are Rotarians hoping for the day when they can meet once more in free assembly. We Americans, and especially every Rotarian in the 189th District, would do well to pause briefly and give thanks for the civilization that makes such meetings possible. We should never forget what has happened in other lands and make ever stronger our determination that it will never happen here. BIRD CLUB NOTES The Bird Club met at the Park, or Saturday. The subject for study was "Making Surroundings Attractive." Betsey Johnson informed the members that birds are dependent upon abundant and diversified vegetation. Trees, shrubbery and smaller growth* are a fundamental necessity and serve for cover, food and nesting. They need plenty of places when they can get out of sight and in. winter be protected from cold wands. For all-round purposes of sheltei nothing is better than evergreens. Hue are pleasing to the eyes as well as to birds. If birds are wanted some spots should be left to Nature's way in masse of natural tangle. Zeb Whitehurst said that a goo* water supply in summer is one oi the conditions most attractive fa birds and will often cause numben of them to locate aad breed. Tlx water should be shallow so birds car wade in and out to drink and bathe The bath should be in a retired spot somen what sheltered by shrubbery. Bille read the poem "Trees" bj Joyce Kilmer aad the club sang "Spring Is Coming." A t>ik«» and picnic was fw the next meetfa* At the beat our exercise* are inadequate. In honoring such service as theae men gave, ceremonies are futile and wortr an weak. Bat if oar observances today help as te keep burning within something of that spirit of patriotism and service with which these men surrended life, the things we do will be splendidly worth while. They gave their lives in defense of the Sooth. These is one day in the year that will forever be sacred to the American people. It is Manorial Day, a day that stands apart from all other* when we bow oar heads in humility before the tombs of oar illustrious Confederate soldier dead. Since time immemorial, mankind has sought in various ways to keep alive the memory of those who sacrificed their life blood for the common weal Today we tun bade the pages of the past and from the gloom of eternity we resuiieci in spirit those gallant and unvanquished warriors who fought so gloriously for the Sooth. In spirit we see them once again. They are marching across the ramparts of time, swinging along in military sprightlinesa, heeds erect, ever marching onward, courageous and unafraid. Hate is >ne better time than on Memorial Day to reehristen our faith in America, to pledge anew oar allegiance to the Flag we love, and vow that we will uphold ancl defend the institutions for which so many brave Americans have fought and suffered, bled and died. And now a toast to the loyal women of the Confederacy: "Then here's to the loyal women of the State love the best—who have kept alive through trying years, a page that will stand the test of all history's searchlights, of all that the yean set free; the women who have sealed the heart of the South in the shrine of the U. D. C." Appropriate music was furnished by the High School Band and representatives from the choirs of the churches. LOVE-BUNDY L Fort Jackaon, S.
