Two Candidates Named For NCEA Vice Presidency Cordelia Camp, director of the training school at Western Carolina Teachers College, Cul lowhee, and Claud Grigg, super intendent of the Albemarle city schools, have both been nominat ed for the vice presidency of the North Carolina Education Asso ciation. Election to the vice presidency has in the past been tantamount to the presidency the coming year. Miss Camp was nominated by the Cullowhee and Jackson County units. Since 1927 she has been director of the training school at WCTC. Prior to that time Miss Camp served as super visor in both Burke and Forsythe counties and taught for several years in the public schools of the state.

Miss Camp has serv ed as chairman of the Grammar Grade Department of the NCEA, as president of the Western Dis trict, and on the Professional Re lations Committee. She is an ac tive member of Delta Kappa Gamma, having served as state president of that group from 1942 to 1944. Claud Grigg was nominated for the vice presidency of the NCEA by the Albemarle unit with the Kings Mountain unit seconding the action. For‘the past 12 years Mr. Grigg has been superintend ent of the Albemarle City schools, coming there from Kings Mountain, where he serv ed in that same capacity for seven years. His additional ex perience includes the superinten dency of the Gibson schools and the principalship of Hamlet High school. He received his AB de gree from Trinity College and his MA degree from Duke Uni versity, with additional study at Teachers College, Columbia University, New York.

Twice he has been a mem ber of the State Legislative Com mittee of the NCEA, in 1936-37 serving as chairman. He has been president of the Department of Superintendence and has served as chairman of that department’s legislative committee and a mem ber of its executive committee. Since the beginning of the war he has been a member of the Educational Division of the War Finance Committee of North Carolina (Schools at War pro gram.) Ballots nave aireaay oeeri mailed to the local units and are to be returned to the Association Headquarters, Raleigh, by mail or brought directly to the state meeting. Ballots will be counted by the Canvassing Committee and results announced on Satur day morning, March 30, at the business session of the Delegate Assembly of the 62nd annual convention of the NCEA, which will be held in Asheville on March 28, 29 and 30. Newly elect ed officers will assume their du ties on March 30. C. W. Phillips, director of pub lic relations at the Woman’s Col lege of the'University of North Carolina, Greensboro, is the un opposed candidate for the NCEA presidency. Mr. Phillips has serv ed as vice president during the past year. Bight Vance Girls Fashion Candidates Each year American fashion writers choose the nation’s 10 best-dressed women. The eight daughters of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Dickerson of Vance County are all potential candidates for the coveted list, according to Assist ant Home Demonstration Agent Mrs. Frances Fuller of Hender son. “The Dickerson girls,” Mrs. Fuller reports, “are perennial leaders in 4-H club work, excell ing in clothing projects.” Hazel Dickerson, 16, of the Zeb Vance 4-H club, is in sixth daughter and current leader in the family fashion parade, hav ing wori county and district dress making contests in 1945. Hazel became a Club member at the age of nine and promptly romp ed off with the top prize at a dress review, exhibiting an apron which she had made without as sistance. The next year she again got the judges’ nod in modeling a play suit. Since becoming an active 4-H member, Hazel has never failed to land in the blue award group at dress revues. Two of Hazel’s sisters, Lou Ella and Annie May, have won trips to Chicago and Cuba for work in clothing projects. All is not needle and thread for the Dickerson sisters, however. They have three brothers, the oldest of whom is serving in the army and the youngest is yet too small to help with work at the farm home. As a result, the girls turn to cheerfully in helping their father with chores and crops. Sharp Drop In Chick Output of chicks by North Statistics division of the State Department of Agriculture. The January output was esti mated at 1,600,000 chicks, com pared with 2,186,000 chicks pro duced in January last year. For the year 1945, the output of chicks in North Carolina totaled approximately 41,827,000, the highest production on record. This record output was 37 per cent above the 1944 production of 30,639,000 and seven per cent greater than the 1943 production of 39,180,000—the next highest year on record. , Curtis Tarleton, poultry sta tistician, said "the demand for broiler chicks is beginning to drop, due to decline in broiler prices and the uncertainty of the feed situation. However, the de mand in most areas for farm flock replacements was still equal or above last year.” Record Set In Milk Production By producing 1,535,000 pounds of milk in 1945, North Carolina topped all previous records and led all states in the South ex cept Virginia in milk production, the State Agriculture Depart ment reports. The Federal - State Crop Re porting Service declared that while the average number of cows milked during the year was smaller by 7,000 head, total milk production last year was one per cent greater than in 1944 and milk production per cow was 4, 030 pounds, or 100 pounds more than the average for 1944. Vir ginia, however, increased its production per cow by 300 pounds last year. Carl C. Scott, department dairy statistician, attributed the 1945 high production figure in North Carolina to good condition of pastures and heavy feeding. Weather Halts Potato Planting The markets division of the State Agriculture Department reports that unfavorable weath er over Eastern North Caro lina during the past three weeks has held up Irish potato plant ings, which usually begin around the second week in February and continue through the second week in March. Marketing specialists declared that this year’s seed stock is adequate and of good quality. With top quality North Caro lina Porto Rican sweet potatoes bringing about $4 per bushel in New York, approximately 100, 000 bushels of sweet potatoes grown in this state have moved from storage houses into com mercial channels within the past month. It was estimated that this state’s sweet potato growers and handlers had about 2,000,000 bushels on hand on January 15. One-fourth of this amount will be sold commercially, while the remainder will be used for home purposes. Tribute— (Continued, From Page 1) tion’s first child, it was no easy task to secure competent and ef ficient workers to care for the children in those days. The or phanage movement in North Carolina was somewhat new; the Oxford Orphanage had been in existence only a dozen years and with the Baptists of North Caro lina our orphanage was only an infant. However, from the very beginning (November 11, 1885), the late J. H. Mills was very for tunate in securing a competent staff of workers and through his ten years administration he was surrounded with men and wom en who were sympathetic and competent. In the year of 1887, less than two years from the date of little Mary Presson’s ar rival at the orphanage, Mr. Mills employed Miss Cora Bronson of Garland, Sampson County, as a teacher and a cottage mother. When we arrived at the or phanage in the early nineties, Miss Cora Bronson was in charge of the Simmons Nursery and teacher of the cottage. Our first school teacher was none other than Miss Cora Bronson who lat er became Mrs. Ezra Eaton. The late J. H. Mills realized in a short time after the arrival of Miss Cora Bronson that he had secured a gem as a member of his staff of workers. He soon learned that “Miss Cora’’ could work at anything, anywhere. During the seven or more years Miss Cora Bronson served the or phanage in the Mills administra tion sne was cottage mother, school teacher, secretary to the General Manager, Charity and Children mailing room supervis or and weaver. Upon the resig nation in 1894 or the early part of 1895 of Rachel Blythe who was employed as his first office secretary, Mr. Mills put Miss Bronson in charge of his office and for months sne served as his secretary. In the first few years of the existence of the orphanage all of the rugs and carpels in use at the cottage were home-made and were weaved by Miss Cora Bronson in the Fannie Miller building. When Miss Cora Bronson join ed the staff of orphanage work ers in 1887 the orphanage did not possess a printing plant. However, January 22, 1888, one was purchased and the first is sue of the paper was printed from its plant in March of that year. In the early 90's Rachel Blythe, Mr. Mills’ office secre tary, was appointed mailing clerk and served in this capacity until September 1, 1896. The late J. H. Mills was not the only one who made the dis covery that Miss Cora Bronson was a gem. A fine young man from Cleveland, N. C.. came to the orphanage in the early 90’s to pay a visit to a relative who was Miss Bronson’s co-worker. On this visit Mr. Ezra Eaton also discovered that Miss Bronson was a gem and made arrange ments for a return visit. Several visits later were made to the or phanage by Mr. Eaton which cul minated in the resignation of Miss Cora Bronson which took erfect September 7, 1896. For nine years she was an outstand ing member of the orphanage staff of workers. The issue of September 4, 1896 of Charity and Children carried the following tribute to our first school teacher: Miss Cora Bronson, who has been with the orphanage so long i that she seems a part of it, will leave for her home in Sampson County next Monday. She has served the orphanage With singu lar devotion for years. She was able and willing to do almost anything, and she threw her heart and soul into her work. She loves the institution and did not spare herself nor consult her own comfort hut cheerfully and zealously performed her duty wherever it lay or whatever la bor it cost. No employee in all the long list of the faithful men and women who have labored here have been more faithful, more self-sacrificing or more use ful than Miss Bronson. She will be greatly missed, but nowhere more sorely than in the mailing room of Charity and Children where she worked every Thurs day afternoon. Many a heart she won while here will follow this good woman wherever she goes, full of the deepest solicitude for her prosperity and happiness. Miss Bronson leaves the institu tion with the esteeme of every man, woman and child about the orphanage.” Miss Cora Bronson was mar ried to Mr. Ezra Eaton of Cleve land November 1, 1896, who died December 31, 1938. Since Mr. Eaton’s death “Miss Cora” made her home with her daughter, Mrs. G. M. Fleming of Cleveland, and her sister, Mrs. H. E. Miller, of Wallace. For years prior to Mr. Eaton’s death “Miss Cora” and Mr. Eaton made their home at Fork, Davie County. Mrs. Ezra Eaton was one of the Lord’s elect. Her services which she so freely rendered her denomination while a worker at the orphanage in other years were of the highest degree. Many were the cups of water she gave in His name. While she is here no more in the flesh, her inspir ing life and Christian character will ever be an example for those of us who remain. Her name will ever be cherished by those of us who knew her as “Miss Cora.” Her’s was an unsel fish life—in service to others. ANNOUNCING New Service For WHITE HOUSE CAFE Open Each Night Till 12 P.
