CHAPEL PROGRAM
A very interesting program was
given in chapel Friday morning,
November 7, by a few members of
the ninth grade.
The play was entitled: “The Cen
sus Taking.”
An old woman who was deaf was
answering questions asked by the
census taker. Nearly every ques
tion was misunderstood, and some
of the answers were very funny.
The characters were:
A deaf old lady—Lois Arrington.
Census taker—Julian Reames.
Directed by Miss McCord.
Sarah Walker read a few verses
of the first Psalm and led the aud
ience in the Lord’s Prayer.
MR. PRESSLY IN CHAPEL.
Mr. Pressly brought us the last
of his great lessons on Concentra
tion and Memory last Wednesday,
November 5th. After he had read
parts of the 119th Psalm he led
the student body in prayer. Last
time he talked oft Concentration
and this time it was Memory. We
We are in school to accomplish
things. If we could concentrate
on one thing for only one minute
we should accomplish wonders. Dr.
E. L. Patten, one of the greatest
men of the Universities, said that
were the Bible lost he had studied
the book so until he would attempt
to give it back to the world. The
three drawbacks to the Memory
work is laziness, absent-mindness
and forgetfulness. Learn to Con
centrate and control that will.

COMMERCIAL CLUB.
The commercial club held its
regular meeting on Thursday, No
vember 6th. After the meeting was
called to order the following pro
gram was carried out:
Office Training in Senior High
School—Helen Brown.

leen Hollingsworth.

We have prospects of a fine club
and we would like to have all the
commercial people in High School
join.

AGRICULTURAL NEWS.
The boys in the agricultural
classes have been studying cotton
marketing for the past few weeks.
They have become familiar with
the different grades and staples
and the difference in prices of
each one. Several of the boys have
bad cotton classed by the govern
ment grader in Columbia. This
man is under the supervision of
the state warehouse commissioner
and is rendering a valuable serviop
to the farmers of this state.
Our representative to state F. P.
F. Camp reports a very interesting
and helpful trip. J. H. Mayson
went from this school and was in
Columbia during the State Fair
week. The camp itself was within
the grounds of the fair, and every
agricultural exhibit and project of
interest was visited by the boys.
About 130 boys from all parts of
the state were there and each one
went away feeling that they were
better off after attending it.
One section of the agricultural
classes will have charge of chapel
next time. A short program of ag
ricultural numbers will be given.
MODERN VERSE.
We have only to look around to
see that we have • rising young
poets right here in our midst. Here
are two more poems by 2 members
of Miss Ligon’s seventh grade Eng
lish Class.
A Butterfly
Look! What do I see?
’Tis not a bird, ’tis not a bee,
It is a beautiful butterfly
It soars and soars away up high.
I
Very gracefully it comes down
And lights upon a petalled mound.
It gathers nectar from each tiny
flower,
But quickly vanishes with a show
er.
—JOHN NIXON TALBERT.
The Violet
Down in the grass under a shady
tree
This dainty flower I could see;
Its stem was bent and hung its
head,
While it was sleeping in its bed.
—LOIS McCOMB.
DU) YOU HEAR THAT—r
>. Miss. Ramsey forgot to smile
when the agriculture teacher came
in view?
Miss Johnston didn’t know what
a quadratic was?
Mr. McCrorey was not liked by all
his agriculture boys?
Miss McCord didn’t laugh?
Miss Reid didn’t give long les
sons?
Miss Corbin didn’t give any class
work?
Miss Kennedy let us “loaf” in
class?
Miss Bowles forgot to make an
assignment?
Mr. Lake never made chapel
talks?
Well, if you did, somebody was
just kidding you.
BORROWING AND LENDING.
We had an argument with some
friends the other night on the sub
ject of borrowing and lending. One
man held that it was always the
duty of one who had money to
lend to a friend who needed it. He
said the needy friend had the right
to demand it, and if it were re
fused he was justified in feeling
that he had been wronged. We
couldn’t agree with him all way. It
is pleasant to be abl^ to help a
friend but if there are two men
with equal opportunities and if one
works hard and saves while the
other wastes himself and his
money, why should the saver be
made to suffer for his friend’s im
providence? Johnny works hard
and saves his money so that he
may be independent. He doesn’t
work in order that Sammy may
loaf and squander—and then de
mand a share of Johnny. Of course
if Sammy is a worker and no wast
er and meets with misfortune, then
Johnny, if he is any sort of fellow,
will help out generously. But the
man .who claims that because
Johnny has saved he is obligated
to lend his savings to the first
friend who fancies he needs them
—well, he is just plain mistaken.

When she had purchased the ticket
she took the baby. Aren’t those
twins? asked the Red Cap, in an
embarrassed voice. Yes, replied
the woman, they were born on elec

Smith and the other Hoover. Well,

With Unemployment
CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 10.—Rep-

Lodge in this section have been

County Officers’ Association on
November 21, to discuss plans and
means for the relief of members
who are suffering from the strain
of the present economic conditions.
It was stated that the unemploy
ment situation in Cincinnati is
much worse than is generally
known to the public, and that im
mediate steps for relief are neces
sary to prevent much suffering.
Masonic employers are being es
pecially urged to help members of
the Fraternity needing employ
ment, when possible and under

a civic problem and should be of
interest to every Mason.

Many dairy farmers can not af
ford to own a purebred buF indi
vidually, but every one can afford
to have the use of a good bull
through a co-operative bull asso
ciation. Members of such an asso
ciation are usally divided into three
or more groups of neighboring far
mers, each group being known as a
block. A block may consist of one
or more herds and may include
from 50 to 75 cows. One bull is as
signed to a block, and is moved to
another block every two years in
order to prevent inbreeding. You
can get further information about
co-operative bull associations from
your State agricultural college or
from the Bureau of Dairy Industry,

Hoover Asks Aid
For U. S. Needy On
Thanksgiving Day
CHIEF EXECUTIVE SATS NATION
HAS MANY CAUSES FOR
THANKSGIVING
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—Presi-
dent Hoover today called upon the
people of the United States to ob
serve Thanksgiving Day by ex
tending aid to those who are in
need and suffering from causes be
yond their control.
In his annual Thanksgiving Day
proclamation, the chief executive
said this country has many causes
for Thanksgiving. He added that
as a nation “we have suffered far
less than other peoples from the
present world difficulties.”
His proclamation follows:
“By the president of the United
States, a proclamation.
“Notwithstanding that our fore
fathers endured the hardships and
privations of a primitive life, sur
rounded by dangers and solaced
only with meagre comforts, they
nevertheless bequeathed to us a
custom of devoting one day of
every year to universal Thanks
giving to Almighty God for the
blessing of life itself and the
means to sustain it, for the sanct
uary of home and the joys that
pervade it, and for the mercies
of his protection from accident,
sickness, or death.
“Our country has many causes
for thanksgiving. We have been
blest with distinctive evidence of
Divine favor. As a nation we have
suffered far less than other peo
ples from the present world diffi
culties. We have been free from
civil and industrial discord. The
outlook for peace between nations
has been strengthened. In a large
view we have made progress upon
the enduring structure of our in
stitutions. The arts and sciences
that enrich our lives and enlarge
our control of nature have made
notable advances. Education has
been further extended. We have
made gains in the prevention of
disease and in the protection of
childhood.
“Now, therefore, I, Herbert Hoo
ver, president of the United States
of America, do hereby designate
Thursday, November 27, 1930, as a
national day of Thanksgiving and
do enjoin the people of the United
States so to observe it, calling upon
them to remember that many of
our people are in need and suffer
ing from causes beyond their con
trol, and suggesting that a proper
celebration of the day should in
clude that we made sure that every
person in the community, young
and old, shall have cause to give
thanks for our institutions and for
the neighborly sentiments of our
people.
“In witness whereof, I have
hereunto set my hand and caused
to be affixed the seal of the United
States.
“Done at the city of Washington,
this sixth day of November in the
year of our Lord 1930, of the inde
pendence of the U?dted States of
America, the 155th«?
