KIWANIANS TALK VALUE OF THRIFT TOPIC TAKEN UP BY FOUR SPEAKERS. County Fair Project To Be Dis cussed By Representative Gathering Thursday Night. The Shelby Kiwanis club at their weekly meeting Thursday night 'de voted their program to “Thrift” ir observance of Benjamin Franklin’s birthday and the inauguration of “Thrift Week” in Shelby and Cleve land county .Supt. I. C. Griffin, the new program committee chairman di vided the evening’s program under four sections with four speakers. Prof. J. H. Grigg, principal of the high school, was the first speaker and devoted his time to some interest ing statistics showing why thrift should be taught in schools and the value of sucbrteaching. From the figures given by Mr. Grigg, naturally incomplete tut approximately, it was shown that there are only 310 regu lar savers in the 1502 pupils in the Shelby scnools, while there are 32? regular wage earners. School chil drens’ answers to the question of how much they spend each week ranged from 25 cents to five and six dollars. According, to the speaker the greater benefit of teaching thrift is not in the intrinsic value of money saved but in the habit formed, it being an a . nowledged fact that habits formed by children up to 16 years generally stick with them through life. Not having any money to spend when a child and without the prac„. cal experience of watching the spend ing of children of his own Atto, ;y D. Z. Newton brought out several val uable and interesting points in his talk on “How to Teach Thrift.” De ploring the fact that there are chil dren in the Shelby schools that spend needlessly as much as $6 per week, Mr. Newton was confident that the best way to teach thrift was to with hold the money that makes a spend thrift. Illustrating his point “that the more expensive the gift the less it is appreciated,” the speaker explained that when he was a boy a child was far more gratified over a handful of peanuts, in apple and perhaps a ba nana for Christmas present than the modern child is over a costly bicycle or ring. Rev. R. L. Lemons under his assign ment of “Thrift and Character" ex pressed clsarly the greater value of thrift as it pertains to the moral side of man. Thrift in every walk of life is thrift in character. The opposite of thrift is extravagance, one of the greater detriment of morals and char acter. Along the pathway of life there are danger signs placed there through extravagance that should be pointed out to the child by the parent. Some of these signs are the human wrecks about us that knew not the meaning of thrift but were ideal spendthrifts. Furthermore, said Dr. Lemons, thrift is not altogether in saving but in spending and the manner of spend ing that what is saved. Some people know not sow to spend that which ha ^ been saved through thrift and in this class is the miser, another danger sign along the hurrying road of life. Thrift produces character and char acter is more necessary in our chil dren than any instilled teaching. “What the Banker can do to teach Thrift,” or what they are doing to teach thrift, was emphasized in a pa per by William Lineberger, of the Cleveland Bank and Trust cbmpany. Containing interesting data Mr. Line berger’s paper explained „ how banks and building and loan associations over the country are spending thou sands of dollars in teaching other.-, thrift in its manifold forms. Every advertisement carried by these en terprises teach thrift in some form. They teach people to help themselves rather than pity themselves and help them put it over by taking the “can” out of ‘“can’t.” “County Fair Night.” It was announced that plans were practically complete for the “County Fair Night’ to be held at the next meeting Thursday evening.

Praise Miss Henkel In “The Forecast” i The following article from The Statesville Daily concerning Miss Celeste Henkel, a neice of Mrs. S. E. Hocy end who has visited here on several occasions will be of interest. “In a recent article, published in one of the most widely-read of the i national food magazines, “The Fore cast,” and entitled “Making a Country Over,” the work of Miss Celeste Hen kel as home demonstration agent lor Iredell county, North Carolina, is commended as one of astounding suc cess, and she herself is referred to ns the “rejuvenetcr of Iredell '-ounty” and the “efficient campaign loader” in a drive to make farm life in Ine county attractive and interesting. The article, whi-h is written by Miss Grace Marian Smith in the Jam uary issue of the magazine, covers three pages of the big periodical and recounts the story of a contest ended last year and conducted throughout the county by the schools and farm families, under the direction of Miss j Henkel. The story is illustrated by pictures of some home and school scenes, typical of Iredell county. ' A photograph of Miss Henkel is shown also Miss Smith’s article tells the re markable story of a still more remark able achievement. It deals with the ; rejuvenation of a county and tells how a woman discovered the secret of in ducing the young people of Iredell to remain on the farm, making the farm home more attractive and reviving a real interest from farming as an oc cupation The county is designated as one “pre-eminent among the counties of the State of North Carolina." Of the success of Miss Henkel’s ex periment, there is little doubt when one has read facts as they are publish ed. Mrs. T. F. .Johnson of the State hoard of education, quoted In the arti cle, has this to say of the work: “Miss Henkel created that which de veloped beyond her most ambitious conception. The good accomplished was almost unbelievable. She secured the atteition of every man( woman and child in Irdell county. Everyone worked—everybody in the county.” A short editorial in “The Forecast” contains words of praise for Miss Henkel’s work, declaring that the se cret of her success comes from a knowledge of the fact that no person will “stray from a pleasant home and an interesting occupation.” Perhaps the chief reason for Miss Henkel’s success comes, however, from a thorough knowledge of those with whom and for whom she works, so un ceasingly and so tirelessly. For the past six years, this very ! capable executive has devoted much of her t me to the work as home dem onstration agnt for the county. She has also served as assistant superin tendent of county schools which posi tion she holds now, along with her other duties. Her ability as an execu tive, together with her spirit of pro gressivtness, is a happy combination.’ HONOR ROLL FOR MUSS BOSTICK’S MUSIC CLASS Sara Harris, Virginia Hunt, Ruth j Hopper, Sophie Hunt, Mary Gr.

In spite of the bandits and their constant disturbances we visited eight of our nine out-stations the first of the year and had classes and meet ings with the women. Everywhere we went there was keen interest shown, many desiring to join the classes to learn more about Him who alone can take away our sins and give peace in the midst of robbery and unrest. In April our nice new church was dedi cated and at the same time we held several days meetings, my brother, G. P. Bostick and Pastor McNeill Po teat helped us. There were fifty-one baptisms at the close of this meeting, there b"ing an equal number of men and women in this baptism till one old sister got impatient waiting her torn and jnmned in and so had to wait till another time for her baptism. We had a class for the study of Marki just after this meeting closed and had a very good interest. Many of the old sisters who stayed for this are the ones who take their Bible and hymn book in a basket and go about from nlace to place telling others of what Jesus has done for them and many others are thus led to an interest in the Gospel. We have a day schoo' here on our compound for boys and girls. The Bible is taught daily and they help much in the singing in our church as rMs. Townshend teaches singing to them regularly. They have an organization of Royal Ambassa dors and Sunbeams and meet each Sunday. The boys make out these weekly programs and carry them out. very creditably. We have suggested Psalm 46:1-19 for them to learn by heart and it is encouraging to hear them repeat these werds from the Bible from time to time. One of the boys helps his mother at night with the little hook s^e is studying, hoping to learn thus to read her Bible, and many mothers come to hear the Gospel because these pupils hear in the schools end beg them to come. We enrolled 78 boys and 39 girls this year. We have five schools in the country, at cur station, out at some of these placVs we Wave no one to look after the work and so interest lags as as we can only visit them now and then. We have the nine out stations, but only ^our evangelists to care fot the nine. One old brother who is not at all learned has done a good work in going regularly to a group of inter ested ones nnd holding meetings. That is the only place I have been permit to visit this fall, as the magistrate was not w'dling that we go to the country on account of the bandits, and I was greatly encouraged at .the interest there. They subscribed means to help in getting a better meeting place while I was out there. They had been meeting in one of the Chris tian’s home. Many around there seemed to have been healed in answer to this old man’s prayers and my own faith or lack of faith was re buked by (heir earnest, childlike faith. The middle of November we had our autumn meeting when Mr. Harris from Kaifeng was with us and did some good preaching. There were 17 bantisms. Though cut off from the epuntry work, I have been able to get into many homes in the city and we have fine attention from these at our Wed nesday and Sunday meetings. Fridays we give to teaching those who want to learn to read their Bibles. “Pray ye the Lo-d of the harvest .to send forth laborers.” ATTIE T. BOSTICK.
