A splendid address was given by
John Hill Payknr/itho said, "with our
young manhood onee more standing
on the firing hue of freedom, Americans
gather today to- make a new
commitment to a well established
principle of the liberty and equality
of nwn. On each Memorial Day we
solemnly renew the obligation of each
American to remember,'and remember
always, those who have given
their lives in battle tor the greatest
/ ideal of men and women living on
this earth, the ideal of freedom, Justice,
dignity and self respect for
every man and every woman.
"Abraham Lincoln reminded us at
GetteyBburg that "our forefathers
brought forth upon this continent a
new nation, conceived in liberty, and
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal." When he
stated that simple truth his words
recalled the many centuries of the
slow progress of the human race from
barbarism and slavery, through tyranny
and serfdom, struggling upward
toward a light which could be
seen dimly at lint throughout many
dark ages, but a light to which the
founders of this republic had fought
the path, upon which path they set
their steps through blood and tears
until the pinnacle of freedom was
achieved.
"That ib me painv/ay -yiucn iouowen
by our fathers, and oar father's
fathers. That is the highest ground
yet achieved by any human society,
and that ground we once again defend,
with Mood and tears, against
the onslaught of new tyrants. On
this aa on every Memorial Day we
men and women of America gather
to do. honor to those who have fallen
in the fight for the ideal expressed
by that pathway of the American
way of life, that light of liberty, otir
forefather!, our fathers, our brothers,
aad today—our sons. The path will
be defended. The light will burn.
America will ahqajia remember.
"As we bow our heads by the grave*
of America's soldiers on our especial
day of animal remembrance, our
thoughts go bade through many yean
of history. We remember that the
blessings of a good life in a fair land
have Come to us through the sacrifices
of the past We remember
farther bade than the history of our
own nation, and recall the centuries
of human struggle toward a realization
of the rights and dignity of man.

< By H. Ik Sugg)
May 26, marked the close of a very
secceesful year for the Farmville
Colored School. Although both
Dollnvect and average daily attendance
dropped, somewhat, fronj, last
year, yet the type of work done bespeaks
excellence for both
and teacher. / ?; ,
The school has a program that em-]
braces a broader scope than the traditional
three R's. It tries, as far asl
possible, to take the whole child into]
consideration. It tries to
whatever latent possibilities the child]
might possess and lend than out into |
the acquisition of such
goes to make up a better all j
dividual and a more desirable type of j

BIRD CLUB
A very enjoyable meeting of the
Bird Club was held Saturday morning.
James Thome read from '♦The
Carolina Calendar," an article on the
efficiency of cornbread for the birds
food shelf. It is cheap, convenient
and satisfies their appetite. The
young and old enjoy it and when mixed
with a little fat and a little egg
will draw the shyest birds of many
different species as the breed has a
content that will appeal both to the!
insect hunters and to the seed eaters.
Max Melton, who left that night to i
make his home in Baltimore, gave an
interesting insight about hours the
parents feed the young. Between 10
and 11 to 12 and 1 and again about
8 in the afternoon, the young are no$
fed. At such times they curl up and
take one of those naps that are neces-!
sary in infancy while their parents
get a chance to preen their feathers,
bathe in dust or water or just keep
still.
Overwork in feeding the young
brings some of the little parents to a j
pitiable condition. They lose weight,
their plumage becomes dull and frax- |
zled and they become nervous and
querokras. Be kind to thetn by put- j
ting food out for" them so their task
will be lighter.
-Jumping games were a diversion
during the recreation hour and wal-,
nuts were enjoyed at the social,
period. Frank Gerald Dupree, Calvin
Earl Braxton, Brenda Barret and!
Ella Mae Curtis wen special guests. |
