On Sunday morning Chap
lain Williams brought a good
message on the “Compassion
of Christ for the Multitudes”,
The scripture used was Matt.
9:35—38. The thought run
ning through the entire mes
sage was that as Christ loved
and ministered to all types of
people regardless of education,
status in life, material posses
sions, degrees of attractive
ness—so must we do. if we
are following in His footsteps.
The churches of today need so
much to go out in the high
ways and hedges and bring in
all those who so need the
saving gospel of our Lord.
The night message was tak
en from Paul’s Second letter to
young Timothy the fourth
chapter, verses one through
eight. Paul had come to the
end of a long and fruitful life
in the ministry. As he looks
back over the years he is satis
fied with what he has been
able to accomplish under the
direction of his great Master
and Teacher. The hope was
expressed that when we come
to the end of life that we, too,
may be able to have this same
satisfaction. Sunday was a
good day in the services. In
Sunday School there were 121.

Crestridge attended the morn
ing worship service. They
are meeting this week for a
pre-Camp work shop. Both
Camps have a wonderful out
look for the summer sessions
under the capable direction of
Miss Arvine Bell and Rev.
Wayne Chastain.
As we entered the church
Sunday morning we stepped on
the lovely new carpet which is
the result of the effort begun
by the Brotherhood and aided
by other interested people. It
ads much to the beauty of the
church. The color of the choir
robes has been changed to a
pretty green to harmonize
with the carpet. By next Sun
day the green velvet curtain,
which will inclose the baptist
ry, will be installed, It is
fitting that the place of wor
ship should be beautiful.
Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Middle
ton of Nashville, Tenn, have
been spending some time in
their home over next to the
home formerly occupied by Mr.
and Mrs. Perry Morgan. We
are all so glad that Mr. Mid
dleton has made such a won
derful recovery from an ill
ness of several months ago.
On Friday Mr. and Mrs.
Norman Allen, the former Bar
bara Allred, and little Joy ar
rived from St. Petersburg to
spend some time with Bar
bara’s mother. Mrs. Elsie All
red. Soon after they arrived
Barbara scared them all to
death by just about collap
sing. I believe they finally de
cided that loss of sleep and
the long trip was the cause of
it and at this writing she is
all right.
Mr. and Mrs. Cuthrell and
Claudia from Goldsboro came
back to their “Chatterbox’”
last week for the summer.
They say she has just, bought
a new- Buick car; and that she.
Miss Lucas, Miss Tribble and
Miss Copeland are going next
week to spend some time in
the Crawford Cottage at
Wrightsville, N. C.
On Tuesday night Mr. and
Mrs. Weeks entertained at
dinner Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Midleton, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne
Chastain and little Wendy, Mr.
Varnado, Mrs. Joe Moore, Mrs.
Turnage, and Miss Christina
Stokmann.

For a few days last week
Dr. and Mrs. J. Wash Watts
from New Orleans Seminary,
were in their home here. Mr.
Hardin said that in talking to
them they said that Dr. Watts
would be given a laave of ab
sence this fall and that he and
Mrs. Watts would go to Leb
anon for a year of teaching in
a new Seminary there. They
were our first Southern Bap
tist. missionaries to Palestine,
going out in 1920.

Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Saund
ers and Bob Turner broke
bread with me on Sunday and
in the afternoon Herman drove
us up to Mt. Mitchell. All
along the way we saw evidence
of heavy frost. Good sized on
many trees were killed, near
the top leaves on bushes and
trees had not even begun to
bud.
Friends of J. S. Morris from
Daytona Beach will be sorry
to hear that on his way to
his home in Ridgecrest he was
taken sick at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. John Lewis,
in Raleigh and will not be here
as he had planned. Mrs.
Lewis hopes to come with him
for awhile some time later
when he is able to come.

Mrs. Trivette, who is the
capable manager of the Knox
County Lodge, from Knoxville

such a chilly reception, but
with a fire in their huge fire

they "made out” very well.

SAVING
It’s easy to open your Northwestern Savings
Account and with a little practice you, too, will
be a successful saver. Decide how much you
can save out of each paycheck. Place that amount
in your Savings Account before you spend.
Savings is easier when you have a definite goal.
Perhaps you want a new car, a home, new furn
iture, a special vacation, or an education for your
child. Whatever your savings goal, you’ll get it
sooner once you get into the swing of saving.

Scenes like the one above will take place at the seventh running
of the Lake James Boat races to be held in the Catawba Dam-Canal Bridge
area of Lake James near Marion Sunday afternoon, June 11.
Lake James
Boat Races
Set June tt
The seventh running of the
Lake James Boat races, sanc
tioned by the National Out
board association and spon
sored by Marion Lodge No.
1705, Loyal Order of the
Moose, will be held Sunday
afternoon, June 11 at the
Canal Bridge race course.
The races, which are sched
uled to start at 2 o’clock, are
being held after an absence
of several years. They will
feature outstanding profes
sional racers from throughout
the southeast who will be
competing in five divisions
featuring motors and boats
capable of speeds up to 75
miles per hour.
Claude Fox. secretary of the
National Outboard association,
says that “the Lake James
boat races became very pop
ular with all the drivers in
the Southeast district and we
are very happy to again renew
our racing activities there.
Each year we have been ask
ed by our member racers
whether Marion will again be
included on the schedule.”
Natural Grandstand
A full afternoon’s entertain
ment will be provided for
boating and racing fans of
this area. The spacious bank
of the dam bordering the race
course near the Canal Bridge
provides a natural grandstand
with unobstructed view for
thousands.
As an added attraction to
this year’s race some lucky
ticket holder will win a 1961
six h.p. Mercury outboard
motor to be drawn and given
away at the races. Local mem
bers of Moose, McDowell Res
cue squad, and Rotary club
are assisting in the advance
sale of tickets to the public.
Another feature of the
races will be several divisions
for amateur racers from this
area with trophies for the
winners of each division. In
cluded with the amateur races
will be the popular “free-for
all”. Amateur racers inter
ested in participating are urg
ed to contact Melvin Bryant
at Griffith Jewelers, Marion,
or Homer Hagna, secretary of
the Marion Moose lodge, at
Hagna and Field, without de
lay in order to complete entry
blanks.
Ample Parking Room
Easy access to the site is
available by several roads,
and ample parking facilities
will be provided. In the event
of a postponement of the
races because of bad weather
local officials have been as
sured of a later re-scheduling
and advance tickets sold will
be good for the later date.
The McDowell Rescue squad
will provide first aid facilit
ies, crash boats and other
services during the races, and
the State Highway Patrol will
handle traffic to and from the
race site. Other phases of
the race including concession
stands, boat patrols, tickets,
parking, and pit crews will be
taken care of mainly by mem
bers of the Moose lodge.

This is
the Law
By Robert E. Lee
(For the N. C.
Bar Association)
Are “common-law marriag
es” recognized in North Caro
lina ?
No. Common-law marriages
have never been recognized in
North Carolina.
Most states until recent
years recognized common-law
marriages. At the present
time they are permitted in
eighteen States. They are:
Alabama, Colorado, Florida,
Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi,
Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
South Carolina, South Dakota,
and Texas.
Common-law marriages, in
those jurisdictions where such
are authorized, are just as
binding as a ceremonial mar
riage. They can be terminat
ed only by annulment or di
vorce.
What is a common-law mar
riage ?
To constitute a common-law
marriage there must be a
present agreement between a
man and woman, eligil le to
enter into such relationship, to
take each other as husband
and wife. All that is neces
sary is that the parties shall
intend to marry, and their in
tention may be proved either
by their words or by their con
duct. No solemnization or
other formality, apart from
the agreement itself, is nec
essary. No witnesses are re
quired.
The agreement being the es
sential element in these mar
riages, it may, like any other
agreement, be proved by words
or by conduct, and by th(
testimony of the parties them
selves or by the testimony o:
third persons.
What are the requirement:
of a valid marriage in Nortl
Carolina?
; Briefly stated, any man am
woman entitled by law to b
■ married may do so by appear
ing together before a minis
ter or justice of the peace am
voluntarily expressing thei
serious intent to be husbam
and wife, and having the min

ister or justice of the peace
declare them man and wife.
No witnesses are required.
What are the marriages pro
hibited by the law of North
Carolina ?
Interracial and bigamous
marriages are absolutely void.
A marriage between a white
person and a Negro is an ex
ample of an interracial mar
riage that is void. If a man
enters into a second marriage
before his first marriage has
been dissolved by divorce or
death of his first wife, the
second marriage is bigamous
and void.
The following marriages are
merely voidable—that, is, they
are valid until they have been
declared void by the court in
an annulment proceeding: (1)
marriages between two per
sons nearer of kin than first
cousins; (2) marriages where
one of the parties is less than
sixteen years of age; (3) mar
riages when either party at
the time is physically impo
tent; (4) marriages in which
one of the parties is incap
able of contracting for want
of will and understanding;
and (5) “a marriage contract
ed under a representation and
belief that the female partner
to the marriage is pregnant,
followed by the separation of
the parties within forty-five
days of the marriage which
separation has been continu
ous for a period of one year
shall be voidable; Provided,

What is a boarding home
for the aged?
It is a facility which cares
for two or more persons (not
related to the operator) who
no longer desire to or are able
to maintain independent living
arrangements or to live with
relatives.
Are boarding homes like “couir
t\ homes”?
" No. In North Carolina
boarding homese for aged per
sons have almost entirely re
placed the county homes. More
and more counties have con
verted their county homes into
the more modern concept of
facilities for aged persons in
to boarding or rest homes.
Food, shelter and such per
sonal services as their needs
require are furnished the resi
dents for monthly payments.
Who pays for their care?
Some of the monthly pay
ments are made by means of
public welfare grants to those
needy elderly people who are
eligible for such assistance.
Persons with private resources
pap their own expenses in
boarding homes.
Are all boarding homes
alike.
No, indeed. They range from
simple, small homes to homes
for persons with substantial
means. One of the services of
the county department of pub
lic welfare is to assist a per
son in selecting a suitable
home. A person of simple
taste would be unhappy in a
luxurious setting, and vice
versa.
Do boairding homes have to
adhere to certain standards?
Yes. The North Carolina
State Board of Public Welfare
has the responsibility of es
tablishing standards of health,
safety and welfare, of inspect
ing and licensing the boarding
homes.
What are some of the stand
ards?
The operators must be per
sons of mature age and judg
ment, in good health, and in
terested in older people. An
adequate staff, with a mini
mum of one person to each
five residents, is required.
that no child has been born to
the parties within ten lunar
months of the date of separa
tion.”
North Carolina forbids the
marriage of double first cous
ins, but marriages between
first cousins are valid.
Living arrangements must be
adequate, comfortable and
homelike, and maintained in a
..lean, orderly manner. Ade
quote dining space, comfort
!jblv furnished bedrooms with
suitable provisions for person
al belongings and clean, com
fortable bedding must be pro
vided. Adequate heat aid
ventilation, handrails on .'til
and stairways, elimination of
sliding rugs and waxed floors,
an approved electrical system
for lighting and adequate hot
water system are necessary.
\ well-balanced diet and veil
prepared food must be provid
cd. Planned recreational op
portunities and a religious
program are important phases
of the program of a licensed
boarding home for the aged.
