BIRD NOTES At the Bird Club meeting Saturday, Jean Boyce read a story regarding a boy named Bill, whose interest in birds kept him busy during the summer months. He made house* for them and spent hours and hours watching and listening to the many his home. One morning a mocking bird, after giving a joyous concert, flew down in the yard next door from Bill's to eat mains and was soon * prisoner in one of many traps set there by the newly arrived neighbor. This and especially in view of the fact that there axe no war industries to enroll women for service here, or ottsr phases of war work in which Farmvilie women may participate. The Red Cross leaden are of the opinion that the women do not realise that after the summer lull and closing: of the work room it has been reopened and that their services are badly needed Sorely Farmville women will, like other women in the Nation, make it a rule to set aside a certain number of hours each week to help regularly with this vital service. This appeal from discouraged supervisors has been issued, not in a spirit of censure but rather as a reminder of an important duty being neglected, and a desire to see the work going forward in the sjjiopdid way it did in the Spring. This news from Farmville will not make happy reading for our boys at the front, but leaders feel sure that a brighter picture in this connection will soon be forthcoming. The work room will be open every day from Monday through Friday from 10:00 A. M. to 5:00 P. M. The allotment this month calls for pajamas, shirts and other garments, and Mrs. Willis* and Mrs. Holston state they wjll be glad to deliver mar terials to tnle willing to work at home and unable to come to the work room. Mia. J. M. Hobgood, chairman of the local Red Cross, stated today that arrangements are being made to receive surgical dressings allotments here soon. Announcement regarding this will be qyule at an early date. 't • ' Religious Emphasis At Christian Church Beginning Sunday with the Sunday School and running through the week, there will be a special Religious Note at the Christian Church. Rev. John H. Goff, of Williams torn; will preach to us each evening from i Monday through the following Sun-1 day night. He will bring us strong and helpful messages. The public is cordially invited to attend all services and help in the singing of the great hymns of the Faith. "Music hath charm" is true, but it has also a great spiritual uplift, especially when we help to sing the songs of the gospel. C. F. Baucom will direct the clinging. The pastor will speak both at the morning and evening hours Sunday. In the morning he will speak on "Why We Should Worry." In the evening in the "Origin of Evil." See, Romans 5. Sunday is also Promotion Day in Sunday School. The Primary Department has arranged a special program for the little folks, which program wilt be given upstairs. Come and see and hear them. . The Senior Christian Endeavor will hold a weiner roast at the Park this evening at seven o'clock. They meet each Sunday evening at seven. C. B. Mashburn, Pastor.
