PAGE TWO Demonstration OINGS IN DARE AND NEWS By VIRGINIA “PAT” WESCOTT i Home Agent How did you like the news-let ter? Mrs. Tillett edited it while I was in Raleigh and did the fine job she always does with an as signment. We haven’t had enough news from the communties to get out such a paper more often. If you want it we must have the news items. Thanks to Mrs. Odessa Wassili for tne articles she sent. And I missed seeing her recently for she was in California. Don’t we envy her just a little tripping across to the west coast for a few weeks visit. I hope the facts about your clubs’ June affair were clear. Os course I forgot the “where” on Frisco, Hatteras picnic. After dis cussing this with each club I com bined all the desires and the pic nic will be at Frisco. Details for the exact spot will come in next week’s column. Watch for it and pass the word around to those who don’t read this paper. I had several tips in Raleigh about the Farm and Home Week program which indicate a jam packed schedule of entertainment and enlightening lessons. We should hurry to send our reser vations. Mrs. Dorothy Lewis, who is co-president of the International Association of Radio Women and very highly recommended by Dr. Frank Graham and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt will be the featured speaker on Federation Day. There is a special program for rural ministers throughout the week. I believe Dare county has missed a great deal by not taking advan tage of the music training avail able to women and 4-H girls. Mrs. Eddie Reber and Mrs. Millicent Mann, Nags Head, went with me to Elizabeth City for one training workshop and saw big possibili ties for learning and enjoying more music in our program. July 10-15 at Catawba College a work shop will be held. If you know a woman or girl (above 14) who is musically inclined, ask her about going to represent Dare county. Expenses will probably be paid so let’s have someone to find out what we can do in a musical way. June is designated as Dairy Month. I hope you will think about this strongly and try to include more milk products in your meals. See if you don’t feel better when eating foods containing more milk than usual. Have you tried adding a few spoons of the dried milk to your meat loaf, puddings and casserole dishes? I am told that 3 classes of milk daily will help us to sleep better, be more relaxed and a steady smile will spread automatically. Surely milk won’t hurt any of us and it certainly can help all of us. Why not try and see. June Dairy Month is designed J| I Paul 4 Jones pjggflll Wn fflSjffl SOIO H I p INT I $3.40 QT.

Guests were members of their class, to whom they served cookies and bottled drinks. as a toast to Better Health. I am so pleased with the com ments since several 4-H groups have held special programs in their church. Cooperation of the ministers and youth leaders has been splendid. I hope all the 4-H members realize the importance of their participation in the church as a part of becoming a better citizen. Betty Finn, Kitty Hawk 4-Her, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E.

Os course, no one in these parts has to ask what whistle. It had the same, deep mellifilous tones when Dr. Ralph pulled the cord on Wednesday as it had in the old days. It had been a long time since I had been on the part of the mill grounds bordering the water, and I had forgotten what a beautiful view it presents. In 1905, Mrs. J. W. Bell recalled, there was nothing on the entire property but a shack on the water’s edge that served as an office for the Interstate Cooperage Company is it began operation. Mr. Bell was buying lumber for the company and he and his family were among the first of the many families that the new mill would bring to Bel haven. My father came in 1909 for an interview with Mr. Barrett, the manager. He got into a little trouble with his landlady the first night he stayed here. It seems that the bed was infested, and Daddy, who abhorred uncleanliness in any form, threw the mattress out the window. The landlady compained to Mr. Barrett, but got no sym pathy there, and Daddy was hired. The office today is a little dif ferent, too; the fireplace is gone. It looks very airy and modern now and it must be a comfortable place in which to work if one can keep from gazing out upon the rivty. One thing I certainly don’t remem ber about the old days and that is ever being served a delicious luncheon such as was' served there jn Wednesday. Lib Stearn and “Miss Katie” could have done it, I am sure, if the bosses had so decreed, but the occasion just never occurred. Dr. and Mrs. Bryant and their staff were most gracious hosts ,and everybody seemed to have a wonderful time. As we left the grounds, I noticed ISLAND STUDIO We Specialize in Portraiture and Commercial Photography When it's a picture you want Phone Manteo 104 Bring us your roll film for processing— Prompt Service and Quality Work NURSING SCHOOL GRADUATE Miss Shirley Gertrude Harris, daughter of Walter Harris of Manteo, graduated Friday night, May 27, from the school of nursing of King’s Daughters Hospital, Portsmouth, Va., following three years of training there. Miss Har ris is a graduate of the high school of Elizabeth City, where she lived prior to entering nursing school, a “For Sale” sign on the house in which I was born, just across the street from the mill. My mem ories of my early childhood there are very vague, but I know that it doesn’t look the same. There is something a little sad about any empty house with a “For Sale” sign, especially when it is old and peopled with the memories of many families who have lived there. Some far-distant day, someone will reminisce about the early days of “Coreboard Products” and point with pride to its growth during the years. There is no way to pre dict what Belhaven will be like then. The river will still be here and so will the mosquitos, no doubt. The sons and daughters of the town’s business men will have taken over, and there will be new names added to the census list. Enough of that kind of thinking, for that leads to the question of “And what about me and my con temporaries?” Well, the pines recently planted in the Belhaven Community Cemetery should be tall and- graceful then, and I like pines.
