Ji SOIL RECLAIMED — Harold Peedin (left) has used soil conservation practices to reclaim acres of sour, in arable swamp land by substituting tile and closing every open ditch on his 60 acres. He and C. W. War rick, work unit conservationist for Johnston County, walk where a 5-foot ditch and hedgerow once ran. Peedin is competing in the soil building phase of t. e "Finer Carolina" contest sponsored by Carolina Power & Light Co. __ We went to the Arts club meet ing at the club house Tuesday night, August 21. First there was a delicious covered dish supper and delightful fellowship, and then a long business session presided over by Mr. E. M. Hoffman. After ward there was a most satisfying program that had been arranged by Mrs. N. L. Perkins—Charlene Maydwell gave us some fine music with her violin. Gene Hudson demonstrated his wizardry at the keyboard, and Shelton Summerlin rendered a couple of lovely solos. (We had quite a time rounding up the vocalist, who was out playing on the lake shore when the time came for him to perform). The Bible school is running at Mountain View church this week, and the attendance is gratifying. The school is from 9:00 to 11:30 a. m. There will be a covered dish supper Friday evening at 7:00, followed by commencement exercises. Why not come out and be with us in this little party? Miss Frances Haynes of Asheville is directing- this school. Her fath er conducted prayer meeting: last Wednesday night, and did a very good job of it. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Bergthold and Mrs. Bergthold's mother, Mrs. H. F. Eger of Delaware, Ohio, vis ited us last Thursday evening. We are always glad to see the Berg tholds coming, they are real “kin dred spirits.” Later we went out to Tommy Edward's and got Roxie and the children and went to visit Alice Burnette and Dean Ryan. Alice and Dean are going to give another concert at the Black Moun tain club house August 13. 1 will tell you more of this before the time comes. Our daughter, Polly Bruner, and Minnie’s sister, Mrs. John Bruner, of Marion, came to see us last Saturday, but we were gone. We don't know just who was along, but they brought Minnie a num ber of nice presents. Incidentally, the Bergtholds brought us a mess of beans that had been raised in an organic garden, and they were most delicious. Blane Morris injured his back some weeks ago lifting a heavy can, and has been in a painful con dition since but is getting some better. The foundation for the parson age at Mountain View is finished, and the woodwork will get under Sill Ping Says h BIG SHEETS „ »|>(T oferS 5 EXTRA VALUES Structural strength above average! Homasote—used as sheathing—is 270% stronger than conventional horizontal sheathing. High insulating value — at no extra cost- Your home is warmer in winter, cooler in summer, quieter all the year around. Homasote Big Sheets save you the unsightly wall joints and extra batten strips necessary for 4-foot-width materials. You eliminate cracked and failing plaster. Homasote is an ideal base tor paint or wall paper. Permanently weatbtrpreof, Horns* tote means a dry house — no danger of musty closets and mildewed walls. Write or phone for suggestions M to how Homasote serves for new construction or modernization. * * way this week. Ranse Williams and the Rev. Chester Miller d’.d most of the work on the founda tion. I. T. Brooks is to be fore man of the building. Betty Jean Shook was “laid up" over the week-end with an allergy from eating certain vegetables, Judy Byrd had to take over the piano playing at church services and did an outstanding job. Judy has many admirable points like screening sand for her father to make concrete, washing dishes, helping to cook, and tending to her baby sister, besides her charm and beauty. Miss Ruth Richardson enthralled our congregation last Sunday morning with a medley of hymns rendered on her accordian. We are anxious indeed for her to come again! Some of my gentle readers from Kannapolis. N. C., were at church services—two ladies by the name of Nelson, and a Mrs. Joyner. 1 never can get used to the fact that total strangers read this stuff. Minnie and 1 had dinner last Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Walker of the Beaver Lake sec tion. Ernest is still in poor health, and is making slow progress to ward recovery. He told me many tall tales of the old days on North Fork. One thing that he told me was that Col. Connallv used to send a dressed goat to all mothers that had recently indulged in a blessed event. He didn t say whether the colonel was trying to encourage, or discourage propaga tion. Anyhow, it was Ernest’s job to kill, dress, and deliver the goat. Another thing he used to do was to carry Aunt Sally Burnett, who was a skilled midwife, to these frolics. He would take her on horseback to the remote coves, she in the saddle and he on behind. Uncle Fayette used to grumble mightily, in a good-natured way, about him taking his woman away. Mae Burnette, Minnie and 1 went to the Burnette-Shope reunion last Sunday. We got there late but in time for the most ambrosial din ner. The afternoon program was very good, and we saw many friends and relatives. We went with the Rev. Gene Byrd.

Since these two types of cards are in common use for the transmission of the written word, it is well for all students to be able to properly identify them. —Of North Carolina’s estimated 4,000,000 people, approximately 1,347,000 live on farms. • TRY THE CLASSIFIEDS!
