There is something new about the oldest and most important subject in he world—home-mak ing, and the women of this com munity will learn all about it at the Motion Picture Cooking School being sponsored by the Person County Times September 13 and 16 at the local theatres. The Motion Picture Cooking School is no routine lecture, no methodical demonstration, but rather a series of intelligent, in teresting, and educational lessons cf the newest methods of prepar ing foods for the family and mak ing home-making a real art. Each of the lessons is woven into the humorous, fascinating plot of the picture, “Star in My Kitchen," which tells the story of Dedee Abot who has just grad uated from college to find her self faced with the responsibili ty of managing a large household. Under the guidance of trained home economists and experien ced home-makers, Dedee soon learns how to prepare foods for all occasions, and while she learns so also will the audience, because the suggestions and demonstrations will be clear and to-the-point. There will be close ups of each step in the prepara tion of the recipes, making it possible for every woman in the theatre to see just what is hap pening inside the mixing bowl. “Star in My Kitchen” was film ed and cast in a famous Holly wood studio, but it was assemb (Continued On Back Page) Times Questions Dr. Allen On Diphtheria With one case of diphtheria reported in the county and the season of greatest prevalence of the disease at hand, the Times undertakes to inform its readers of a few aspects of the disease with the hope that some person may be benefited.

P. Gentry, R. F. D. merchant. Mr. Gentry said that the pic ture was so ugly that he had rather not have it in the paper. How unlike S. P. Gentry is Jack Strum. Jack doesn’t care how ugly his picture is he wants it in the paper any time. And here is the prize story— Champ Winstead, Jr., son of S. G. Winstead, works in Washing ton with Uncle Sam. He is very absent minded and last week while at home he started out to play tennis and had forgotten to put on his pants. With that ex ception he was O. K. He had on shoes and a sweat shirt. Barden, his brother, saw what a mess he was in and stopped the sight be fore it reached the tennis court. Teague Kirby has been caught playing golf again. He goes a long way to play and always slips out of the city without telling any one where he is going. Joe, his brother, is always leaving the city but never plays golf. §een trying to collect on the streets of Roxboro Thursday were O. Z. Gentry, C. H. Oakley, W. H. Newell, E. G. Thompson, J. S. Merritt, Coy Day and a few others who were doing their “darndest” to extract blood from the turnips. We forgot to mention the fact that Jim Harris, our city mana ger, was also trying to collect, but that doesn’t make news as Jim is always trying to collect. Norman Kinkead has been named assistant to Collins Terry. Messrs. Tefry and Rowe run the bakery and now that they have Norman to help, you can watch our for high pressure salesmanship. The only trouble is that Terry and Kinkead eat all the profit. Along the way last week we saw Ralph Cole who has just re turned from the hospital. Ralph holds the world record for hospital attendance. He claims to have had more operations than any man in this county who is still living. He can name about forty things that are wrong with his physic al makeup and any one is calculated to kill. But Ralph marches on. Glenn Stovall, Chevrolet dealer, is recovering from an ap pendicitis operation. It has been said, it couldn’t be true, that Glenn was scared to death. He was afraid that he would never leave the operating room alive. Yes, Glenn is living. MERRUTSHOLD FAMILY REUNION Some 50 Members Os Fam ily Gather Thursday At Old Homeplace.

There was no special program for the day, just a general get together for the family. theria germs. Q. When should the anti toxin be given? A. Just as quickly as the dia gnosis is made. Doctors do not wait for laboratory confirmation of their diagnosis of a child, but give anti-toxin always in a sus picious case. Q. Can Diphtheria be prevent ed? A. Absolutely. Th|ere is a vaccination almost perfect in nature called toxoid, which, if used extensively, will stamp out Diphtheria in a few years. Q.
