(
Professor Auguste Piccard, noted Belgian scientist who went ten miles
( high in the stratosphere, is now in America for a lecture tour. He thinks
. a balloon ascension in his metal ball should be made at a northern latitude
{ of America during 1934 because of our nearness to the magnetic pole, thus
being better able to study the cosmic ray. He says it will not be necessary
for him to again make the trip, but only direct the work. Prof. Piccard,
(left) was greeted at New York by his twin brother, Jean Eiccard, of
.^darghallton^ Delaware.

ill.
The Rehoboth H. D. Club held its
regular monthly meeting in the
hospitable home of Mrs. W. P. Cul-
breath. She and Mrs. B. S. Cul-
breath were joint hostesses. The
meeting was opened with some
scripture reading by president, fol
lowed by short prayer. A few of
the members were a little late get

There was no regular programme
arranged. After the reading of the
minutes of the last meeting by the
secretary, Miss Marie Gilchrist, the
club held a round table discussion
on gardening and fancy work that
costs little to beautify the home.
Mrs. Stallworth showed a pillow
made from green burlap, with ev
ery 6th thread drawn out both ways
to make a check to work cross
stitch by. A blue bird sitting on a
limb was on the pillow in cross
stitch. The thread may be cut
from old silk hose, or any available
thread may be used. The pillow
was stuffed with chicken feathers,
with a couple of moth balls in them
to keep out moths.
Glad to have as visitors Mrs.
Ethan White, Miss Helen Gilchrist
and Mrs. Henry Reynolds.
Mrs. Stallworth’s main talk was
on hot beds, selection of good seeds
and asking each member to try
some new vegetable -this year.
Some new seeds have been ordered

Rev. Griffith from Edgefield
Methodist Church preached us a
very fine sermon on “Worry,” a
very fitting subject in this time of
depression when the whole world
seems to worry. It was the first
s§rmon I ever heard on the subject
and Rev. Griffith brought the mes
sage in a very forceful manner, yet
using the every day occurrences for
illustrations. We are thankful to
Rev. Griffith for the splendid ser

fit from it. About the close of the
service the pastor and wife drove
