And th vaccination. Last spring we more “took.” and then a third vaccination was necessary for some. Evidently the reg Thanksgiving appeal did not “take” with every s necessary to reach them. church member. A _ re-apy We are not finding fault with the people that actually contributed to the Thanksgiving Offering. We believe tha they did all that they could do, an we believe they did enough, but semebody is certainly loafing on the jol. We can’t believe but that there are thousand of people who call themselves thing to the Orphanage Tale i-Salem, with an average of $1.48 good church members that have not contributed a cause this year. There are lots of folks that need te be revaccinated. even our most liberal Presbytery, Winstor per member contributions so far, this year, We know that there are thou- sands of people in Winston-Salem Presbytery that have not contributed, because re have been several checks from individuals of $500.00 each, and even with these checks, the avi of this Presbytery is only $1.58 apiece, “ae the Presbytery at the other end of the line, Fayetteville. The total of all contributions of Fayetteville Presbytery, from Church, Sunday School, Auxiliary, and Thanksgiving offerings, totals less than fifty cents per mem- ber. Now, it is hard for us toe believe that anybody in Fayetteville Presbytery that contributed at all, except the children, gave less than fifty cents. That means that there are a lot of people in that Presbytery that have not done anything. We don’t know why this should be. Synod, combining al) the gifts coming te us Why it should be that over our entire through the channels of the church, and its various organizations, there has been less than seventy-five cents per member contributed. We do not believe it is because of any un- friendliness t« cause. We believe that it is carelessness. more than anything else. And that makes us wonder, if there isn’t some vividly to their attention that they will con- the Orphanage way to bring this situation so tribute. Our appeal went out with all the other Orphanages, stressing it all that income to the Orphanage. We believe a lot of people did this, and we know that if everyone had done it, we knew how, for everyone te give a day's we would have had nothing but thanks to express in mentioning our finances at this time. Right now, we are not even 2a those members who have not yet contributed king for a day's income. We are asking from just a dollar apiece. We know that January is not the time to start a campaign for he Orphanage. The other Church causes must have their day, and we do not intend to try to start anything that will interfere at all with the Mission’s programs that are due to start soon, but we fee] that the people who have not contributed to the Thanksgiving offering should be reminded of it, and given an oppor- tunity to do so yet. The Orphanage can not continue as it is now, with a $20,000 slump in receipts. that difference is made up between now and the end of the church year, we face a situation that our Church will some day be terribly ashamed of. Unless Right now we are all taking stock of ourselves, summing up the past year, thanking God for our blessings, asking His forgiveness for our short- comings. Can we expect His forgiveness if we fail to do what we can to make good our short-comings? Isn't there some way that the loafing church member can be brbought to a realization of his responsibility NOW? Whose responsibility is this anyway? Well, whose children are these? It would surprise you to know the number of churches both big and smal} that do not begin to pay for the children they send here. have? Are you asking ts? say, it was just the finest ever.

It will take at least until January 15th to get him in shape again for basketball. The Playhouse Theater invited us all in to see Ben Hur and maybe we didn’t accept that. Everybody went. At 7 P. M. Wednesday, Howard Cottage had their tree. Tiese twenty- eight youngsters always lead off and they started it just right this time. ‘then on Thursday—Christmas Eve —Alexander started things again at 2P.M. The forty milkers always have a good time and nianage to re- member each other in addition to the gifts sent in. At 4 P. M. the Infirms sy had their tree, the smallest crowd on the whole campus, but always a most delightful occasion. At 5 P. M. Annie Louise took the squeeling championship when forty little girls explored their gifts. Every girl had candy and every visitor had to eat some of each lot. Mrs. John Sprunt Hill for whom this cottage was named, sent money for each child, so no doubt, their Christ- mas will last longer than some of the others. While all this was going on the Rumple Hall girls were in Statesville seeing Ben Hur. When they came back they found that Santa had visit- ed each room and left each girl a most abundant Christmas. And then during the night, while the Synod boys were asleep, the same thing happened there. At the Lottie Walker Building the downstairs tree was ripe and ready for picking at 8 P. M. Christmas Eve and just thirty minutes later, the up- stairs girls had theirs. Everything settled down then until five o'clock Christmas morning when things commenced to happen at the there until breakfast } After a wer: hy #orning meal for their distribution of gifts, and then finally Jennie Gilmer, as the most settled and sedate members of jour family received theirs. ’ Then dinner—nobody thinking they were much hungry—until they saw what there was to eat. We will just mention the oysters from Washington N. C., eakes from just everywhere, and ice cream from Mooresville. Then there was fruit, nuts, cranberry salad and lots of other things. Was it a good Christmas? Every- body said it was the best ever, and to everybody who had a hand in it we mighty good to you. In addition to the number of old- timers who came back home-coming day, we had most pleasant visits from some during the holidays. Garland Caudill, Glennie and Elsie Westall, Rachel and Sarah Moore, Morris and Joe Lee, Lee and Julian West, Sam Bernardo, Guy East, Ben and Charles Forte, A. J. Potter, Lo- rena Clark, Walter Fraley, Nell Cox- well True, Edna and Lillie Jackins, and of course, the Browns, Lowrances and Johnstons are a few that we can remember at this time. Barium looked a little lonesome in spite of all these visitors for a few days. We didn’t realize what was the matter at first. It was because all our teachers were away. We miss- ed them lots. We are really glad to start school again to have them back. — P. 0.

It was decided that the busi- ness of having Home-Coming Day on a date in which there was a good football game was a good idea, so it was voted to have Home-Coming Day jin 1932 fall on such a day.

Association Holds Annual Banquet Rev. Marshall Woodson of Sal- isbury. Guest Speaker 1932 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE On the night of December the 19th, Barium’s Annual Football Banquet was held, Mr. McMillan, the Coach, presided as toast master, and the principal speaker fcr the occasion was Rey. Marshal! Woodson of Salis- bury. The subject of his speech was “Winners” and it was a most helpful and inspiring message that he brought. The election of football Captain for 1932 was announced. Frank Purdy, Centre, became the choice of the squad. Awards for the most valuable players of the four squads were made. This was a gift made by a friend of Barium who witnessed the little teams play be- tween the halves of the Davidson V. M. I. game. He was so impressed by their earnestness that he stopped by one day and left some money to be jused as gifts to the boys who were { but all of the girls have a small one! jin their rooms. |of our beds. { selected as the most valuable players of the teams. Each squad voted on this, and the coaches voted also. It happened that bly the coaches selection and the teams selections in each instance, were identical; and another peculiar thing about it was that in each instance, the boy selected as the most valuable player was the boy who had acted as Captain during the season. This seems to be a pretty strong vindi- cation of the wisdom displayed by the varicus squads in their choices a year ago. For the varsity, Lester King drew the award. For the 125-pound team, Robert Blue. For the 115-pound team, Jim Johnston; and for the 100-pound, Ernest White. Quite a number of Barium Alumni were present. Some that had played football and some that had not. Let- ters were awarded as follows: Varsity: King, Joe Johnston, Paul Pittman, Sears, Cumbie, Lee, Clark, Morris Freeman, Vann, Shaffer, Pur- dy, Edwards, and Hannon. The schedule for 1932 was an- nounced complete as follows: September 24—Belmont Abbey at Belmont. September 30—Lexington at Lex- ington, October 7—Concord at Barium. October 14—Statesville at Barium. October 21—High Point at Barium. _ Nevember 11—Greensboro at Bar- ium.

To place a cantankerous individual in charge of a business is like throwing a wrench in the machinery. A happy executive oils the whole plant. Laughter is a Iu- bricant. The longest face gets the short- est envelope. The longest envelope goes to the one whose presence and personality inspires, simulates, and encourages others. “I would give a million dollars for Charlie Schawb’s smile,” Says J. Ogden Armour. If a smile is worth a million, why cultivate a frown for which there is no mar- ket? Many men have failed because they could not handle others har- moniously. Often a promotion brings with it a swelling of the head .... what a pity! Opportuni- ty knocks as often as man has an ear trained to hear her; an eye to see her; and a head trained to utili- jize her; but a swelled head brings defeat—always. tn earlier days the motto was “The public beware!” Now it is “The public be pleased.” The knack of making friends, inside and outside your business institution, is a valuable asset. One of the worst things to carry through life is a grouch. It gets very heavy as the years roll on. Anyone who fancies the world owes him a living and complains because someone else succeeds, get very little sympathy. Cheerfuiness costs nothing, yet price. Smile and the world is with you!

We don’t know of anyone to W of saying “I told you so”. ee There are always people who make gloomy predictions. We had people who predicted direful happenings every year within our affairs. There were many gloomy r the 1930 Thanksgiving offerings. Our 1930 as better than usual. We had other gloomy pre- 1, and now these “evil phophets” have come in- getting a real kick, appararently, out of predictions ove Thanksgiving w dictions about 193 to their own, and are saying “I told you so”. e E The orphanage is in a real plight. The Thanksgiving offerings | for 1931 were not up to expectations, and the total fallings be- hind this year as against twelve months ago, this date, is $19,000, .00, a sum so large that the orphanage is in serious distress. We have obligations to meet that must be met somehow, even though In our distress we have consulted with friends both on the board of Regents and otherwise. Their first advice was to let our condition be known through the Messenger. This was done in a strong article in the January issue. This did not bring a response, and we were told by other friends that nobody read the Messenger.(Sometimes we are inclined to believe that, be- cause we do not see how the church at large can read it and re- main complacent.) We were strongly urged by a number of friends to write a let- ter to the pastors calling attention to our plight, and asking them to give all those who had not contributed to the Thanksgiving offering, a chance to make that up now. We hesitated before sending out this letter, and when it was sent out, we tried to word it so that it would not do any harm to the campaign for Foreign Missions which is taking place at this time. We are printing a reply that we got to one of these letters. It makes up feel rather helpless. There is really not a Sunday in the entire year that the orphanage really has a right to present its cause before the church. Only on Thanskgiving Day do we have that right. If writing to the pastors at any time during the twelve months is going to be construed as usurping the time allotted to some oth- er church cause, we are indeed in desperate straits, and no doubt the best thing to do, under those circumstances, would be to carry! out the suggestion in the second paragraph of this letter. In this connection, we wonder if the members of our church can remember back twelve years? At that time it was suddenly discovered that our orphanage had been grievously neglected. The buildings were in a terribly run-down condition. The con- dition of the children was not good. There were just a lot of things that aroused the indignation of our people over the state. We do not know whether a careful analysis of the cause of this conditition was made or not, but somethings was done about it. Those immediately in charge were blamed; but it is doubtful if anyone who went into this matter deeply could avoid discovering the fact that it was the neglect of the church that had brought about the situation. It happened that right at that time our country was going through a depression. Not as great perhaps, as the one that we are in right now, but nevertheless, enought of a depression to cause the closing of many banks and the loss of much money by our membership. As we look back on it, the depression does not seem to have cut much figure in what has really transpired. Our church was determined to change the situation at Barium Springs, and spent a tremendous amount of money improving the physical equipt- ment and in starting a new regime. There was one outstanding idea that prevailed, and that was that we were all ashamed of the bedraggled condition of our be- loved institution, and were determined that we would never a- gain let it sink so low. -— seems at the present time a most decided change in at- titude. The fact that we are fast sinking back to the condition of 12 | since years ago, is evident to anyone who will take the time to invest- | gate; and there seems to be very few voices raised in warning, and we wonder if our church’s memory is so short. We are not keeping pace either in the amount of work done. or in the kind of work done with our sister denominational and fraternal institutions in this state. We will some day be ashamed again, and will then again do| something about it. But we can not then undo the harm that we have brought about by our neglect. Think it over Brethern! It is the Lord’s work, but the carrying | along without a defeat, defeating the on of it is in our hands. January 29, 1932. Mr. Jos. B. Johnston, Barium Springs, N. C. DEAR MR.

There are a few though | that we want to mention. One is, that | splendid game with Charlotte Cen- tral High. Our girls led all through the first half, Charlotte making a magnificient come-back in the second! |half and ending the game with a 2- | point margin. This was one of the) best games we have ever had on our | court. Our girls missed seven foul} goal shots during that game. | The return game with Mitcheil Col-| was good, although Mitchell did not constitute the threat she did in our first game, when they defeated a girls by ten points. Of the boy’s game, the one with Mills Home at Thomasville was the best. The lead kept changing all dur- ing the game, with less than a min- ute to go, Mills Home went into the| lead by one point, and with twelve| seconds to go, Barium tossed a field goal to give her a_ one-point victory. In the 110-lb Conference, every- thing is just like it started. Barium! defeated Stony Point, Stony Point de- feated Troutman, Troutman defeated Statesville, and Statesville upset the dope by defeating Barium 10-7, and now each of the four teams of the Conference have one victory and one defeat to their credit; and the sec- ond half of the games will start this week. The wrestling team is not as strong as last year, but so far have been undefeated. A victory of 14-8) over High Point College, and close victory over Salisbury constitute their activities during the last half of the month. | In the Salisbury meet when ready for the last bout, Salisbury was lead- representive in this bout, and a fall counting for five points was his con- tribution to the meet and that spell- ed victory for Barium.

To begin with, examinations have started in school, and the teachers are busy right now estimating the brain poundage that we have accumulated since the beginning of scheo] last fall. A doctor was here from the State Sanatorium, (Dr. Thorton) holding the annual tubercular clinic. We found a rather smaller number of reactors ave all been carefully examined and > course of a week or two, whether | than usual, just thirty-eight. These h X-Rays made, and we'll find out in tl cr not any of this group need anyth done to them. We wish we were just as sure that everybody would pass the examina- | of these thirty-eight youngsters will tions in school as we are that everyone not need Sanatorium treatment. Along with this tubercular had regular yearly check-up, and every boy and girl was weighed, measured, and given a go- ing over by our regular doctor, Dr. Adams. We find some interesting things examination, we our about these weights. The greatest gain of any group was made by the Jenny Gilmer boys, gain of fifteen pounds each. The next largest gain was made by the Rumple Hall girls and the Alexander boys, with a'n average of 12 pounds each. There must be something to working seven days in the week, Both the Alexander boys and the Rumple Hall girls have duties to perform on Sunday. Cows don’t pay a bit of attention to the Shorter Cat- echism, particularly the fourth Commandment, and have to be milked just as regularly on Sundays as on any other days. Peoples’ appetites are the same thing too, and they have to be satisfied on Sunday, and that calls for dish-washing and waiting on the tables. Lees Cottage comes next, and Lees Cottage is mainly responsible for the | raising of vegetables and fruits. They showed an average of 11 pounds. The girls in Lottie Walker and the big girls in the Infirmary and Baby | Cottage showed an average gain of ten pounds, in spite of the fact that with an average eight of these girls did ‘not gain anything. Some showing a slight loss. We tried to analyze why these girls didn’t gain. It can’t be old age. It must be the change of styles, but even with that we didn’t find any losing weight so rapidly as to cause us uneasiness. Howard Cottage came next with a gain of nine pounds each. Synods and Annie Louise tied at seven pounds each, and the Baby Cottage showed a gain of five pounds each for these little youngsters under six years of age. The biggest gain for any one person was made by a girl—thirty-six pounds in twelve months’ time, and she’s all steamed up about it. We have an idea that twelve months from now she won’t weigh as much as she does now. The ‘next highest was made by three boys who showed a gain of thirty pounds each; and then, there were sixteen other boys that gained between twenty and thirty pounds. Now, you know why we never run short of football material. A midget won't stay a midget long, if he gains from twenty-five to thirty pounds a year; and sometimes all a midget lacks of being football material is just that much weight. We have not grouped the children according to those who participate in athletics and those who do not, but it is very evident that the most con- sistant gain in weight was made by those that do participate. The average gain for the entire institution is practically ten pounds per person, and this is larger than in any previous year. We are wondering just why? We are giving part of this credit to the kitchen. Our kitchen group seems to us to prepare the food better than ever before. Part of the credit is undoubtedly due to our various productive Departments. The Dairy seems to be producing more milk; the Orchards more fruit; the/ Truck Farm more vegetables, so that we have vegetables all year round, and the farm keeps us supplied with pork, mutton, corn bread and keeps the cows fed for our milk. 4 mo, © tofa’ amortt os voor onttrs faite waa 8.249 ponds. fust SPRINGS, (N.

Thorndike has endeared himself by his philoso- phy to those of advancing years. He) holds out hope to them that they will never be too old to learn. After years of experiment he has reached the conclusion that ability to learn increases until about 29, when it remains stationary for a time and then gradually declines, but so slowly that it will still be possessed even to the end of life. No one, he has said, can excuse himself from attempting the conquest of new fields by claim- ing exemption on account of age. If one fails in learning, inability due to age will rarely be the true reason. This encouraging philosophy also) gives cheer to the young by recogniz- ing the value of reward as compared with punishment in helping them to prepare themselves for taking over the world when the old have to re- linquish their work. It follows Jere- my Bentham as regards punishment, who held that all punishment “was in itself an evil,” and that “upon the principle of utility it ought “only to be admitted in as far as it promised to exclude some greater evil.” But whether or not we go the full length of Dr. Thorndike’s contention as tc fines and jail punishments, we are able to accept his thesis that- “the real power lies in the rewards for decent behavior.” The spring of action is, in the main, for young and old alike, re- ward, though yirture may at times and for the few be its own reward. —New York Times Ethics of Spanking Spanking was formerly the safety- valve for the overstrained nerves of parents, according to Dr. Margaret Wylie, child guidance specialist from the New York State College of Home Economics. “Spankings and their accompany- ing tears, however,” added Dr. Wylie, “are no longer fashionable, and both parents and children find other me- thods of relief.

Ample play space where the children may ‘let off steam’ with- out disturbing the peace of the grown-ups is very important, and children to play with help to teach the child to live with other people. “Certain teachings of the child in early life are helpful in avoiding strained situations. They should be taught the use of materials, and what materials are appropriate for various occasions. A well-grounded respect for other peoples’ rights—their prop- erty, time, priviledges—makes the child pleasant to live with. “The parents should remember that quarreling and argument both require two persons, and should not allow themselves to fall into the habit of helping their children to quarrel and argue. A habit of talk- ing things over quietly provides an outlet for grievances and troubles and at the same time fosters an in- timate relationship between parent and child which is a good insurance for the future. —Deaf Carolinian.

Howard Cottage, Jan. 18—It has been raining a lot and we do not get | house and play with our dolls. | We have been enjoying the apples the mountain people sent us and the peanuts the farmers’ raised for us. Several of the fourth grade girls whe did not recite the Child’s Catechisin when they were in the third grade are trying to recite it this year. Our matron has been talking to us about helping to save for the Home and ask the girls to write her a letter and tell how they could help here at Howard Cottage.We are go- ing to give you one letter from each grade third, fourth and fith. This is from a fifth grade girl.I can help the Home by trying to rem- ember to turn off the light and not waste paper in school and try not to tear my clothes so they will have to be mended every time they come up from the wash. When I wash I am going to try to remember not to waste water, we can save the swings by not standing im them. I am going to save in everything I can. —Mildred Willis. I can help to save at Howard by turning off the water when it is left on and by not wasting thread, and by turning off the lights when left are left on. I can help by not wast- ing the Dutch Cleanser and breaking the flowers by playing ball in front of the house and by having my shoes mended in time——Margarite Wicker, fourth grade. I know a way of helping the home. I can turn off the clothes room light when Alice leaves it on. I can help by not sitting on the table or by playing rough near the windows or swinging on my locker door or tear- ing my dress.—Gladys Caton, 38rd. grade. We mending girls hope all the girls are going to remember about taking care of their clothes and stockings so we won’t have to mend so much. No more till next time. Oo.

Local Items Of Interest From Farm Department FARM, Jan. 14—Well, folks here we are again at the beginning of a new month and year and hope you all had a happy new year. Everyone is busy thimking up something thpy forgot to make a resolution about and somathing to start the new year off right. Now since we have been working hard to finish up shucking the corn so we wouldn’t have anything to do whada it rained again, Mr Cavin said we had a lot of peanuts to shell so we have begun to shell peanuts to plant next spring. : Some of us are kept busy when it is not raining in the new-ground which is the main job for the winter elad when we have nothing in parti- cular to do. We are very sorry to have two of our boys out because of operations. Graham Long just got out of the hospital, afad Clifton Vann has taken his place. They have just measured and weighed everyone for this year. Some were tested for T. B. In the last week little lambs have been jumping up from every direc- tion to take the place of some we butchered. Robert Templeton, cae of our farm hands, hunts o’possums more than he sleeps. He has already caught 65 this season and hopes to break his record of 68 last year. Eb Young, little man of the farm, goes to sleep in two minutes and snores so loud that he wakes himself up in less than five. : We have just finished threshing our crop of peas and found that we had one hundred and _ thirty-three shels. buThe farmers have all decided to close up our new football field until spring and let it rest up for some hard labor. ; We have about twelve or fifteen boys on eur group out for sports this time of the year. Wer Have three on the basketball team amd some smaller ones out which we hope will make the averages, or smaller teams. We also have about three or four on wrestling team. ‘ “gous Grlowds up in the mountains gave us another load of apples which we appreciate very much, The main way to pass away the time now is to play checkers. The boys, when they get out of school, for the boards and play until hey have to quit. ’ Since the rain washed so many holes in the roads and made it so muddy we have had to haul a few cinders from the boilers to repair the roads. —P. 0. H.— NORTH CAROLINA HEALTH CALENDAR FOR 1932 Some Major Objectives for the Public Health Forces 1. Reduce the infant death rate. 2. Increase the per capita con- sumption of safe milk. 3. Extend some form of organized health service to every coutnty. 4. Work for the day when no citi- zen shall suffer and die from a pre- ventable disease. 5. “Better” the good record of 1931 toward the early elimination of pella- gra. 6. Cut down the death toll from automobile accidents and accidents in the home 7. Immunize a larger number of children aga‘nst diptheria than in any year up to now _ 8. Extend the benefits and protect- ion of approved sanitation to more rural homes than ever before. 9. Through perodic health exami- from cancer, heart, kidney and other similar diseases. 10. Extend medical and hospital service to every prospective mother needing assistance in time to prevent any needless death from the hazards neident to maternity. 11. Make a material reduction in the ‘number of grade repeaters in the elementary schools by correcting re- mediable physical handicaps, and through more effective school health supervision. 12. Strive for a health-minded pop- ulation who will eventually see the benefits of positive health, and who will be just as willing to purchase medical and dental service when needed to preserve good health as to pay out money for any other of the desirable possessions of life.

World Informed” g Father criticized the sermon, mother disliked the blunders of the organist, and the eldest daughter thought the choir’s singing atrocious. The subject had to be dropt when the small boy of the family, with the schoolboy’s love of fair play, chipped in with the remark: “Dad, I think it was a jolly good show for a penny.” —Cumberland Herald. A man somewhat under the _ influ- ence of seven percent attempted to pass through the revolving door of a downtown resturant. Each time he entered he made the complete round and found himself again in the street. After several unsuccess- ful attempts he sat down on the side- walk to figure it out. A moment later a young man walk- ed rapidly up the street and went in. The door went around and a young 25.00 | lady came out. The inebriate was puzzled. “What gets me,” he remarked, “is what did he do with his clothes.” An insurance company wrote out a $1,000 life policy in the name of one Samuel Johnson. Premiums were paid promptly for a few years, but suddenly stopped. After sending a few delinquent notices, the company received this reply: “Dear Sirs: Please excuse as we can’t pay any more premiums on Sam. He died last May. Yours truly, Mrs. S. Johnson.” Keep your mind on the great and splendid thing you would like to do and you will find yourself upon the opportunities that are required for the fulfillment of your desires.

MESSENGER | CALHOUNS ESTABLISH | ENVIABLE CLAIM ON DAVIDSON | DAVIDSON, N. C., January 24—- | When J. C. Calhoun graduates from | Davidson College, his father, | L. Calhoun, of Laurinburg, might well put in a claim for a financial interest in Davidson; or at least, for an |interedt in Rumple Dormitory. He | might even claim that he owns Room No. 12, in Rumple, for the present Calhoun is the sixth brother to at- ltend Davidson, and every one of them has occupied the same room in \the same dormitory during his four- |year stay here. |’ Ever since 1916 there has been a 'Calhoun in Room No. 12, and with the exception of the scholastic ses- sion 1923-24, it has been one of the brothers. More often, it has been |two of them. During the 1923-24 session, L. E. Calhoun, a cousin of the sextette of brothers was an 0oc- cupant of Room No. 12. In other words, for 17 consecutive years a | Calhoun wil Ihave been in this room. For the six boys, Mr. Calhoun has paid into the Davidson treasury an amount barely short of $2,000, and as he looks back over the years the first one came here in 1916, he perhaps wishes that he had built a 7 small bungalow to taek care of the Calhoun brothers and their kin. The five who have already gradu- ated from Davidson are Rev. L. G. Calhoun, of Lavras, Brazil, in 1920; Rev. M. P. Calhoun, of Charleston, |W. Va., in 1923; D. M. Calhoun, in 1927, of Elizabethtown; R. G. Cal- houn, in 1929, of Barium Springs, and A. M. Calhoun, in 1930, of Laurin- | burg. J. C. Calhoun is the last broth- er of the family, and he will graduate jin 1933. —_—__—P,0.H. MI TT] Support OUCUROOSGOANDA TEER GEAGACESOSGGHO ROO SEREDELTERDEONGR MacClesfield Church eal <n ee Aux.

C., JAN. 24.—— Tired business men, Who can’t get to sleep at night because their minds are busy worrying over their fin- ancial affairs, are urged to try a remedy that proves very effective with a prominent business leader of Davidson, and which sends insomia scuttling. “When my nights are wakeful, and sleep is far from me, and my worries over business troubles are immense, “said the Davidson business man, “I go back to the kitchen, and get two slices of bread, each about an inch thick . Then I take a jar of peanut butter and and spread it 1 quarter of an inch thick over each piece, put them together, and start eating. I then begin to worry whether I am going to choke to death, and my bus- iness worries are forgotten.” That,s this business man’sstory, and he say’s he’s attached to it. It might be also said parenthetically that the peanut butter becomes attached to him. -—__——P.0.H.____—_- THAT EXTRA MILE There is always some people who are afraid they are going to hurt themselves by doing too much along the line of helping somebody else. They are willing to do their share, but go beyond that line, no siree! Not one step! Some of these peculiar kind of people are right here at the Orphan- age; some who are afraid they are going to do something extra. The extra mile is the part you gained in doing a thing. If you do just what you are told to do, you are standing still, on the other hand, doing what you aren’t told to do, you are advancing. Advancing in what? Character? Yes, you are moulding your character in doing such things. Its always the football hero that gces the extra yard and scores a touchdown. Are you like a machine that turns when electrical power is put to it and stops still when the power is cut off? Keep on going. Cover the extra mile without beng made to do so.— The Masonic High Spotlight.

They had a 33% cut last April, then a 10% cut last September and are facing the prospect of yet another. They are depending upon the response of the church during this week for their very existence. Barium Springs is not in the condition that we would have liked to see it in but I do not believe that you will win friends for it by cutting across the immeasurably greater needs of the lands that are entirely in darkness. If the Orphanage were closed out entirely it would not work near the hard- shipship that the closing of a foreign mission institution does, for there are other orphanages in the State (even though crowded by having many inmates that are not properly orphans) and there are Christian homes that would rise to an emergency to take them in.

THE GOOD ATHLETE Today the world is interested in all athletics, as well as in the athlete. More money is spent on games, horse race s,and other sports than really should be. If a boy wishes as be popular, just let him be an outstanding foot- ball player, a track man, or a participant in any of the various sports of today. The same holds true with a girl. To be a good athlete one must train correctly. He must eat foods that help develop the muscles, sleep regularly, and do nothing to injure the body physically, mentally or spiritually. The good athlete must have a strong, clean and wholesome body. A strong and clean mind is an essential thing fot a boy or girl who wishes to become an athlete. Good sportmanship is the best quality of an athlete. You must obey the rules of the game to the last degree. Play fairly above all things. If the referee makes a mistake, ask him about it in a nice, polite way. Do not get angry and criticize him behind his hack, settle the guestion correctly, If you are the loser, be a good one. Remember your sportsmanship; congratulate your opponent on his winning; take defeat with a smile; do not accuse the referee of cheat- ing. If you are the winner, be a generous one Do not be selfish but play for the honor of the team and school, not for yourself. Athletics help to develop the character of a person. If you come in contact with good sports, clean and honest peo- ple, you will do your best to excel them in sportsmanship, honesty and skill. Again let it be stressed, if youare tobecome a good ath- lete, begin in the right way. Train, be a good sport, obey the rules, always be courteous to your opponent, be a good loser, and remember that in the end a ase never wins. —Thornwell Orpha.age Weare delighted to see that Thornwell is now getting out a girl’s baskerball team: Maybe sometime we may have a game with them. — Sy r. i. n h- iS 1- he st 7 or al yu Ly sk nd ly. ur . ’ it- be ot + st a na s et n ! “c l l BARIUM MESSENGER a CINDER STARS SOON TO DON PARAPHERNALIA With Old Man Winter off duty, and all this hum-drum that’s res- ponsible for a young man’s fancy lightly turning to gobs of things, that part of Barium’s out-door athletic program will have had its opening and meets will be held during the month of March, name- ly—Track.

Three friends, John, Frank and George, met one day. Now it so happened that John owed Frank £5, Frank owed George $5 and George owed John $5. Each was feeling some embarrassment in the presence of his creditor when Will walked in. John asked him for the loan of $5. Will was agreeable and gave him a $5 bill. John handed it to Frank, paying him his debt. Frank passed it on to George, liquidating his debt to him. George then used it to pay} John the money he owed him. Upon receiving it John handed the same $5 bill back to Will with thanks for the favor. Now all debts are paid and every- body is happy.

This is an impossible amount, if we go at it in the usual way. That is, by thinking of our own troubles and disappointments and how much each individual! in this Synod has suf- |fered.

We have seen greater miracles than this performed in our own State right here.

Just let us enumerate briefly what lation at the Orphanage has _ been reduced from 367, to 334. This has been accomplished by refusing to take in children and by sending home a lot of others. It meant that during the past six weeks, a number have been sent home from the middle of the school term. It has been unfair to them; breaking into their school work, but it has apparently been necessary. We have not been able to go about it in the orderly way in which we usually do such things. We have already dropped one very important department from our school, and will soon drop two others. We will drop our pay system, and Barium Springs distinctive, and we believe has been most beneficial.

Is There Any Virture In A Long Face Most of us have heard the joke on the pious old gentleman who had led such a strict life that his views on a number of things were somewhat warped. He had rather late in life, and when| given an opportunity, ke tasted it and thought a little bit and set the sauc- | er down very emphatically, stating that anything that tasted that good had the Devil in it. not tasted ice cream until No matter how many times we have heard that joke, it might be well for us to hear it again, and then again, because all of us are somewhat in- clined to acquire the same attitude of mind that this old gentleman had. | We get to thinking that anything that brings us happiness is wrong as long as there is unhappiness in the world. Sometimes we are 30 oppressed | with unhappiness and suffering that we know exists over the world that we find ourselves refusing to be cheerful with our own families. We lose sight of the fact that no matter hew bad conditions may seem to us, that if we will just open our eyes, there is ample room for happiness. There are many things in the business world that makes us feel alarmed, | and if we get our minds off of it for a moment,there still seems to be so| many people that can remind us of ness of feeling sorry for ourselves and others. | We are afraid to smile for fear that smile may take the bread out of somebody’s mouth, or will cause a stock market to do some more stunts. | We must just be solemn and keep concentrating on the one thing that seems to be out of kilter. As a case in point: We have almost let this entire week go by withou realizing what gorgeous weather we are having. Springlike days with everybody in good health, with the steamheating plant doing so little that we are eble to cancel the order for two car loads of coal. All this uld have gotten by unnoticed, but for our accidentally checking up on -ome coal records of several yars back. The situation then—on the 13th of February, as this is written—-was that we had a heavy snow on the ground. The temperature was not far above zero. There were so many children sick that we had two extra nurses; and then on top of that, our coal supply got dangerously low. We had to borrow coal from our neighbors; we had to burn wood, and altogether, we were panicky over a situation that had its dangerous aspects. Having these things brought to our memory made us enjoy the weather that we are having now all the more. We would like mighty well to pay our debts, and the fact that we are unable to pay makes us feel bad We are afraid sometimes to even smile for fear some of our creditors may see it and think that we have some money hidden somewhere. We of course, can not go out and buy a good time when we are in debt like this. We are apt to get in the way of thinking that any sort of a good time is impossible, if we haven’t money to provide it. And yet, the very small members of our family teach us older ones a lesson in this thing. A few marbles can provide hilarious entertainment for a whole afternoon. A broomstick and two pegs can provide athletic entertainment for a larger group of boys indefinitely; and then, more ambitious entertain- ments are also possible without money. Let us describe such an event: Our school auditorium is packed full of this, to get us back to the serious busi- | mulate at each game to more than 'pay the expenses of Barium in this comes We wonder which is the more ne- cessary thing for happiness—health or wealth? If the latter, we might have some excuse for being very un- happy. If the former, we should be the happiest community in the world because we are about the healthiest. During the past twelve months, the rate of growth of our big family has been markedly greater than in any previous years. It may be a co- incidence, or it may be because that during this period we have lived on more homegrown foodstuffs than ever before in our history. Two things are necessary for food to do a person good; one is to have the food, and the other is to have the team is on par with the visitors; the | Citadel HARD LUCK-—A POST GRADUATE COURSE (- THE GREAT SOUL PRAYS— “Lord make me as big as my | problem,” while the little soul prays, “Lord, let me off easy.” | ts eee The giant soul .prays, “Lord, | My visitor give me strength sufficient for || man whom | a hard day,” as the small soul | i begs, “Lord let me have a ligh- ter load.” The great heart prays, “Lord let ”. = | Was a young had known all his life, a fine, upstanding fel- low, who was graduated from \| || || me stand firm when the fight is | hardest, “the craven heart cries, college last June.

Is it “Tempering the wind to the shorn lamb?” Why cer- tainly. Who sheared the lamb? if we analyze it, most of our hard times are the result of our own foolish- ‘ness. The things that make our !ot more pleasant are the direct gifts of God. Can any situation be hopeless with God in it? . . . Can we be hap- py? ... Certainly we can. And if things got worse, we could still be happy, because there are more things right now to be thankful for than there are to be afraid of. —_——P.0.H.—__—_—_- I saw the most cleverest tire cover today.

But at last I stand beside you, And the fate which long denied you ields, in recompense, a dearer incarnation than my dream. What I sought to what you are, Love, Was twihght to the star, Love, .s the languer is to summer, as the murmur, to the stream. And since age on age has perished But to bring the soul I cherished vhere:in thought and ieeling, blended, are as petal and per- iume.

Dr. Gwinn of Davidson first and then Dr. Owen Moore of Charlotte, to be followed by Dr. Foreman of Davidson this week. We have enjoyed them very muci. and would like to have them come again. We have two new girls in the kit- chen and one of them laughs all of the time so it’s no wonder we are getting fat, but we don’t worry a- bout that any more since curves are quite the thing this year.

Five of our girls have recited the Child’s Catechism and about five others are about ready to. We still have some peanuts and pe- cans and we certainly are enjoying them. It has been warm, but it has chang- ed suddenly. We hope it doesn’t get cold enough to kill our flowers in bloom.

H.— Music Contest From reading the Messenger some people may get the notion that our entire activities are confined to ath- letics, but a visit to Barium will con- vince them differently. We have quite a number of youngsters en- gaged in various other ocupations, and excelling. Take music, for in- stance, we do not have as many big public contests as we do in athletics, but our youngsters are in there try- ing all the time, and under the most excellent guidance of Miss Green when they do get a chance to show their wares before the public, we are not ashamed of the exhibition. All of which is preliminary to stat* ing that we had six children entered in the regional contest for state su- premacy in instrumental music. Marion McCall, Mary Lathan West, Elsie Brown, T. L.

Grier Dies At Harrisburg Dr. Samuel A. Grier, 90 years of age, and for more than half a cent- ury a practicing physician of Cab- arrus county, died at his home at Harrisburg Friday night March 18th, from a sudden heart attack. Dr. Grie, had suffered for about a week with pneumonia, but was thought to be on the road to recovery when the sudden summons came. Dr. Grier was a native of Meck- lenburg County, born in the Steel Creek community October 8th, 1841, was an honored Confederate veteran, the last survivor of a large family and one of the five brothers who served throughout the War between the States. He was the last survivor of the Hornets Nest, organized in Mecklenburg County in 1861, and the last survivor of the famous battle of Bethel in North Carolina. At the time of his death he was Surgeon General on the staff of General William A. Smith, Commander of the North Carolina Department of United Confederate Veterans. Funeral service was held at the home at Harrisburg Sunday after- noon at 3 o'clock conducted by Rev. Mr. Wilson, of the Presbyterian Church. Interment was in the Har- risburg Cemetary. Chneral Smith | read a fitting tribute to Dr. Grier at the grave. Dr. Grier was the father of ten children, eight of whom survive as follows: Mrs. J. M. Blain, of Hang- chow, China; Mir. Sanuel A. Grier of Barium Springs; Mrs. C. N. G. Butt, of Charlotte; Mrs. W. G. Hall, of Statesville; Mrs. G. H. Richmond, of Concord; Mrs. H. J. Bost, of Harris- burg; “Ir. T. L.

As we are just learning how to hem-stitch they will not bear very close inspection, but we think they look rather nice. You see they are our own hand work. One of the nicest things abo ¢ it is, with the help of some friends from the Galatia church, we have gotten some new shades to put under | our new curtains. Since our last writing we are very much delighted to have our most be- loved matron back with us.. We were very glad to have Mrs. Fred Culp with us while “Mama McGirt” was away and we miss her very much and hope she will come to see us some time. We hardly know which of us was the happiest “we girls,” and babies or “Mama Girt” for her to get back? Several of us were very happy to have visits from some of our people. Iris Spencer had a visit from her mother and two sisters. Mable Bill- ings and Myrtle and Mable Wedding- ton had a visit from their grand- mother and cousins. Also one of our big girls, Zora Lee had a very pleas- ant visit to Statesville for the week- end with some of her friends, Mrs. Shackleford and her daughter, Janie and Audrey. We ade looking forward Easter vacation. We have been enjoying the pea- to our some of her gymnastic exercises for the amusement of the little ones at) home. After gazing at her with look of interest and commiseration for a! while he asked a boy near by if that gal had fits? No, replied the lad, contemptuously, that’s gymnastics. Oh, ’tis hey? said the verdant; how long has she had ’em?” nuts which were given to us during the Christmas holidays. We missed Mrs. Grier, our Sunday School teacher, Sunday, for she was called away by the death of Mr. Grier’s father. They have our sym- pathy in their sorrow. Well, so long. You'll hear from us next month. MARCH ATHLETICS We are going to give you a running account of the athletics in March| without any attempts to classify the various activities, but in the form of a diary. On March the second, our 125- pound boys journeyed to Concord to play a return game. This was a red hot game from start to finish, with Barium emerging the victory by a double score. This would appear to have been a walk over, but the account of the game is to the con- trary. Concord gave Barium a tight game from start to finish. On March the third, our varsity girls went to Charlotte for a return game with Central High, and were defeated 20-14. This was just too bad. The system of scoring used in this game was new to Barium, over- head shots only counted one; other shots cov two. It was the only game during the year in which that particular form of scoring was used, and it cost us the game. Counting the scoring as we were used to, we defeated Charlotte 21-20. However, it is the final score as announced by the referee that counts, and it goes down in history that Central high has defeated our team twice the same year. A rather un- usual occurrence. On Saturday, March the fifth, we had a return game with Newton. Our girls defeated Newton 38-19. Our boys defeated Newton 17-15. Our boys had been idle for so long that Newton all but beat us. It would have been no discredit to us, because Newton has a splendid boys team. (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR) — aes THE DOG.

The unusually targe number is of course taking into consideration the fact that the clubs are much smaller than they have been in years past. The membership aver- aging nearer twenty per club, rather than seventy or eighty as was the case one time. Apparently the gathering forgot for the time being, that there was such a thing as depression, bad business, bankruptcies and such, and settled themselves to enjoy the evening. Writing this article as an inter- esting and innocent bystander, it appears to us that the program this year was the best yet. Mss Carsen had the main responsibility for the program. She was assisted by Miss Green, and Miss Thompson of the Barium faculty, and Mr. Murray Grier of Statesville. The children putting on the little playlet and Minstrel, performed their parts splendidly, and not only the guests, but the home Barium seemed to get out of the per- crowd at equal enjoyment formance. The programs and little paper, the Luncheon Lizzard were got- ten up in an attractive manner, the results of the effort of Mr. Edwards and the Printing Office force. Everybody seemed to have a good time, except the relatives of the hogs that furnished the main part of our supper, and since hogs have such short memories, they have no doubt forgotten their grief by this time. On April the 21st, doubt entertain again about 100 men of Concord Presbytery. Rev. Marshall Woodson of Salisbury will be in charge of this program; Barium Springs being the place selected to have this meeting. There will no doubt be some ad- ditional grief in the hog lot about this time. we will no sasnssasnsnsnanagpesesutesenueseemsomenasanenen Howard SUEUEESEEEUEEEEUESECEETEC ERLE EEE EEE EPEC Howard Cottage, March 24—Just two more months of schoool!

ALICE JONES ene. ssue Mailed io = Presby terians In N.C, NO. Seven Standing Of Presbyteries At Close Of Fiscal Church Year March is before you. A total of $7,- 088.00 from the Synod has been re- ceived. This leaves the total receipts a little under two-thirds of what we had expected and needed. Up to this time, there has been contri- buted per member over the entire |Synod, ninety-two cents. It takes an average of a dollar and a half per member to maintain the Orphanage. So, as we sum up at the end of the church year, we find that we |have just gone a little under two- thirds of the way. There will be a good many be- lated contributions coming during the month of April. Last year, there was a total of 36,400.00 received dur- during April to apply on the old church year. We are always mighty glad to get these belated contributions, but there are two sides to it. Since the busi- ness of sending in amounts to apply on the old church year, after March the 3lst, has been a practice, so much effort has been given to this that the regular contributions for April are very seriously neglected. In other words. this makes us stay about a month behind all year. Last April, we received less thaa a thousand dollars to apply on the new year. N ew, just a word of warning As this is written, the papers all over the State are proclaiming the tidings that the Duke Endowment is distributing money to the various Orphanages. You will note that Bar- um Springs will get $8,500.00 This announcement every year brings some encouragement to the people that we owe, and a feeling of relief to the friends of the Orphanage, but it brings a distinct feeling of dread to us, because we know that every time that this announcement is made, there is a very decided slowing up in the receipts of the Orphanage. It is usually about thirty days be- tween the time that the announce- ment is made, and the actual receiv- ing of the check by us, and receipts have been falling off during that thirty days to such an extent, that by the time that we receive the Duke Endowment check, it is to a certain extent, already spent. It has to he used to make up for the defiency that arjses between the announce- ment of the check and the receiving of it. We plead wth all of you not to make the contribution from tke Duke | Endowment a hurt instead of a help. | It is so easy to slack up in your own |efforts, and just a little lightening cB oS $ 2 nik en inien Serna oe * 2 ocd a PRESBYTER MARCH 28 g E § 2 E 5 RECEIPTS 3 «sap 34 Zz ai Ske an < <i GkE 28 a Winston-Salem $1107.39 3le $2.20 42 $1.50 70% # ahead Concord $ 655.22 5%4yc $1.03%4 $1.50 46%c behind Mecklenburg $1865.51 lite $1.00% $1.50 49%c behind Kings Mountaini $ 585.14 lle 92¢ $1.50 58e behind Albemaprle $ 204.55 5l4e 8934 ¢ $1.50 60%4¢ behind Orange $ 877.56 8c 844ec $1.50 65%4¢c behind Granville $ 415.51 T%\c 76% $1.50 73%c behind Wilmington $ 378.98 5e 67hec $1.50 82%c behind Fayettiavile $ 999.81 814e 61%4¢ $1.50 88%4c behind TOTAL, $7,088.67 9.4e 92.1¢ $1.50 57.9¢e behind The TABLE of RECEIPTS for[up cn your part more than offsets the good that this check will do. We are accustomed to get it down to a per member basis. The Duke Endowment check for $8,500.00 is equivalent to eleven cents from each member of the Sy- nod, and we fear that the announce- ment of this check causes everyone to ease up about twenty-five cents. [t does not take much of a relaxa- tion to reduce contributions eleven cents per member, and if it goes over that, of course the announce- ment of the Duke gift is more of a hurt than a help. Isn’t it possible for all to pull together on this thing, and let this help coming from an agency entire- ly separate from our church, be a means to help us through the pre- sent trying situation. The Orphanage was carried on be- fore we had this outside help. Sure- ly we can carry the load with that help. We hate to talk so much about money in our little MESSENGER. We are graduating the third largest class in the history of the Institu- tion thins year. They are a fine lot of young people. We would like to run their pictures, and a brief his- tory of each member of the class, and we plan to do this in the next issue, and we hope all that will be Jnecessary to say about.mg, se‘ y ill (be a great big “Thank You” xor hav- ing sent us enough to pay out of debi.

H.— OBITUARY Death has come very close to our Barium community three times re- cently. Mrs. Parks, for a long time a resident of Barium, passed away and was buried at Little Joe’s’ church. Dr. S. A. Grier, father of Mr. S. A. Grier, Jr., our beloved Sunday School Superintendent, passed away March 18th. Mrs. Stevenson, the grandmother of two of our workers, died redently. Our sympathy goes out to the be- reaved ones of these families. —P. 0. H.— In 1928 there were 43,184 mil- lionaires in the United States. In 1930 these had dwindled to 19,688. The reduction of values and the stock market smash account for most of this loss of more than 50 per cent. EAS | What does Easter mean? To some | it is the time to dress up in new ‘spring clothes. To others it is the time for the semi-annual visit to the church. It is the time for the egg eating contests. It is the time for the important Easter bunny. Easter is, to a few, a great day because of religious events. Often, of course, it means more than just one of the things mention- ed. Easter is truly a religious holi- day. It is celebrating the Resurrec- tion of Christ after He had _ been dead for three days. Lilies and various other signs of spring are used as symbols of Easter. The coming of spring is like the Resurrection itself, because appar- ently new life is given to dead ob- jects. The tajees seemingly lifeless during the winter months, burst in- to bud. The flowers and the grass be- gin to grow anew. The birds return to their northern homes. Because of this new life these lovely symbols of spring are used as tokens of Easter. Our custom of having Easter eggs probaby came from the ancient Per- sians. To them eggs meant new life. With this meaning eggs are truly a symbol of the day. Many people be- lieve that the different colors on the eggs stand for various things, white for purity and red for redemption. In Germany the children have a TER myth about the Easter bunny which corresponds to that of our Santa Claus. If they have been good throughout the year the Easter bunny visits them on Easter morn- ing and leaves a nest of colored eggs. When we see the trees and plants burst into life in the spring we think of all the wonderful things that have been put on this earth for our com- fort and pleasure. Because we real- ize this it makes us happy and we want to wear our best clothes, we want to think our most pleasant thoughts. All of these traditions probably, when originated, had a religious motive. But now we sometimes for- get the significance of these things, which are really just ways of show- ing our remembrance of this great lay. The bells on Easter morning are calling us to look forward with new hope and happy hearts. They re- mind us that, “The year’s at the spring And day’s at the morn: Morning’s at seven: The hillside’s dew-pearled; The lark’s on the wing; The snail’s on the thorn— God’s in His heaven— All’s right with the world.” —Exchange.

They wiil always avoid hurting others either by speech or action. Thus anyone who cannot live peaceably with others is not well educated. After all an education is the important luxury of the earth. | | IUM MESSENGER SHALL THE EXECUTIVE BE A FIELD MAN ALSO It “s Without saying that an execut should be very much on hand to direct the staff of workers who are trying to do the job. It is not supposed that he can be away for very long period nor very fre- quently. Andy most executives that we know are called upon for fre quent addresses and visits to various points. Recently one was criticising aun executive for being away from home too much. [) was thought that he had a loose h upon his work and pe worker ecause the super- \ Was not and stant. On the other hand, may readily be seen that one n coop himself up at home so clos« as to fail to have contact with his tituency or with liow workers the same line of ervce. It is pr bly true that a man may err in 4 direction. If man is an acce le public speaker he is likely to h many invitations to ge ut to address audiences and if he does net mind he may find hat the temptations to gratify him- elf in this way grows upon him in a ided way. H probably find at it is easy t: > a request and get away f1 t grinding of the mill. It is pleasant t out and neet friendly people and be well| rece ived and delightfully entertained. In our judgement one has to weigh conscientiously points in con- nection with the value of going out to make speeches and either directly or indirectly raise money for the institution. And yet some of it should ve done in ord that an executive may know his }rethern and be in sympathy with tidal influences and changes that constantly develop. Our own opinion is that an executive should go out om time to time, but that his bi b is to stay et home and direct work ever which he kas been placed. If he is strong in administratic ind develops a fine rye ation it speak for itself. and he wll not d go out to argue] personally for the value of his work. There will be othcrs to teil the story. His main streng should be put on the home job d it should be a ecordary consideration as to going into field. I thought comes to mind that some pastors are prized ; their pulpit ability and others + persona izing and d ork they do in or- the activities 1 ot the church. Many a successful pe has be a great visitor, though he has 1 been a very strong pulpit man. And many a_ successful pastcr has been strong in the pulpit, everybi knew him to be weak in working at the pastoral du- ties. Tt is strange that men are not always so made that they may, when called to the pasterate of a church, be able bot n the pulpit and as administrators and leaders of the verk.

MISTAKES “There are seven mistakes of life that many of us make,” said a fam- ous writer, and then he gave the fol- lowing list: The delusion that individual ad- vancement is made by crushing oth- ers down. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we ourselves cannot accom- plish it. Refusing to set aside trivila de- ference in order that important things may be accomplished. Neglecting development and re- finement of the mind by not acquir- ing the habit of reading. Attemnting to compel other per- sons to believe and live as we do. The failure to establish the habit of saving money. —Clipped. —P. O. H. A MODERN SLOGAN This is taken from a high school contemporary, but it reads so good, we want to pass it on. The following from Allantown, (Pa.) Canary and Blue. “Don’t take yourself so seriously.” This prime rule of the life of Diwght Morrow, whose untimely death was this year mourned by our country and the world at large, commends _it- self to the high school students. The youth of high school age is liable to take himself too seriously. He for- gets that there are other people in this world, people older and more ex- periencd than he. He fails to acknow- ledge that other people haye accom- plished and are still accomplishing things of far greater importance than the things that make him rate himself so highly. The person who is willing to acknowledge the merit of another man’s work is likely — to achieve for greater happiness and success than is the person who takes himself too seriously and fails to see the significance in his neighbor’s progress. —P. DID YOU 0. H.— KNOW THAT Tennyson could take a worthless piece of paper, write a poem on it and make it worth $65,000. That's skill. Some men can _ sign a cheek and make it worth $50,000. That's capital. The government can take an ounce silver worth 50 cents and make it into a watch spring worth $50.00. That's skill. An artist can take a 50-cents piece of canvas and paint a picture on it worth hundreds of dollars. That’s art. A merchant can take an article costing 75 cents and sell it for $1.00. That’s business. The author of this article can write a check for $9,000 but it wouldn’t be worth a cent, That’s tough. of PAGE FOUR BARIUM MESSENGER APRIL, 1982 umple Hall CRU RUMPLE HALL, MARCH 21-— Spring has come and _ school will seon be out. Everyone is looking forward to vacation time and are planning to have a good time. Kiwanis is over and all of us en- joyed the good supper and the in- teresting program. The grammar grades are going to play class games to-night. The sixth and seventh are going to play and the one that wins will play the spec- ial sixth. We had a good picture up here Saturday night and the name of it was the “Beloved Rogue.” Easter is coming and we are look- ing forward to a holiday. Track and baseball has started and everyone is glad. We enjoy hearing Fred Kirby sing over the radio every Monday, Tues- day, and Friday night. We are going to have the birth- day dinner to-morrow and three of our girls go. Mr. Jackins took us to walk Sun- day afternoon and we thank him, and hope he will take us again. We hear the study-hour bell ring- ing so we had better stop. We will try to write more next month. QUEREEEUAEAUGCUSERERUCSENEAGEREAUAODAGUGEGNOEEDEEER ynod Ug SYNODS COTTAGE, March 25 Here we are again anall excited a- bout Easter. We are looking foward to a visit from Bunny rabbit this week end. We will have a holiday from school monday. Miss Andrews bought us some marbles when she went to Charlotte and gave each boy two. We are all very fond of playing marbles and thank her for them. Friday night the Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis Clubs held their annual banquet at Rumple hall. We were all invited to supper. After supper we were entertained with a St.- Patrick’s Day program. Six of our boys took part in it. We enjoyed it and hope we can go again. Miss Taylor’s aunt, Mrs. Donald, spent Monday night with us, and we hope that she enjoyed being with us 48 much as we enjoyed having her. We started playing baseball and practicing for Track meets, so until you hear from us again you’ll know that’s what we're doing during our spare time. Nelson Farmer Miller Blue —P. 0.

On Tuesday, March the 8th, at Troutman was played the first of our annual series of games with the Troutman girls. This is one of the major events of the season. Usually Troutman winds up her season as either County Champions or District Champions or just naturally the best team in this neck of the woods. Z 7 And the three-game series _is played to determine the superiority of these two neighbor teams. Some- times Troutman will win; sometimes Barium. Usually taking three games to decide the series. This year, after winning the County Championship, Troutman lost the first game to Ba- rium, 35-23, and then on Friday night March the 11th, Troutman came to Barium to play the final game, and was defeated there, 34-17. Barium winning the series by two straight games. On the same night, the boys in the high school played an elimination series. The ninth grade defeated the eleventh 10-3. The eighth grade defeated the tenth 9-7. Then the eighth grade defeated the ninth 9-7, making the eighth grade Champions in basketball for the boys. On Thursday night, March 17th, the girls in the high school had their elimination. The ninth grade defeat- ed the eleventh 22-8. The tenth grade defeated the eighth 22-11, and then the ninth grade defeated the tenth 24-20, making the ninth grade Champions in the girls basketball for the season. On Thursday night, March the 17th, the boys in the grammar grades played off their elimination. The seventh won over the special grades. The sixth won over the fifth, and then the seventh won over the sixth, making the seventh grade Champions in boys basketball for the season. On Saturday, March the 19th, there was a track mect between the four high school classes. The ninth grade winning, with 43 points. The tenth being runner up with 39. On Tuesday, March the 22nd, the girls in the grammar grades played off their elimination. The sixth grade beat the fifth. The seventh grade beat the special, and then the seventh beat the sixth, making the girls of the seventh grade Champions. On Friday, March the 25th, the first track meet of the season was held. The Barium team journeying to Oakhurst just outside of Charlotte to what was supposed to bea triangular meet, with Oakhurst, |Charlotte Cubs and Barium. The | Daaanoate Cubs did not participate, however, and the final score was Barium 83 Oakhurst 16. Before closing this chapter on Spring atletics, we want to mention the doings of the Barium players on other teams. Bill McKay at McCallie was a shinning light in basketball, and is now out for track. Bill was one of our most consistent track performers last year, and we look for a success- ful season at McCallie. At Davidson, Bob Johnston is on the track team, and secured a place in the javelin, in the track meet with Florida. On the Freshman team at Davidson, Lee West scored first in the pole vault, and placed in the dis- cus and shotput. Potter and Bernar- do, and J. B. Lee are also on this team. Julian West is one of the pitchers on the varsity baseball team atDavidson. —P. O. H.

We're all glad spring is here at last, even though we’ve had a mild winter. We’re looking forward to much warmer weather. Our basketball season has _ ended now. As we look back over our re- cord we think we have been pretty lucky. In basketball’s place we have baseball. We have won the only two games that we have had. The Seniors gave their play last nite and oh, boy! It went over just right. It was great. We haven't had many visitors this winter, and we’re very glad to have Lily Jackins and her friend, Cather- ine Mickle spend the week-end with us. We also enjoyed the visit paid us by Mrs. Virginia Kale and part of her Sunday School Class from Char- lotte. Mrs. Kale graduated from Barium in 1914. We’re looking for- | ward to another visit from you, Mrs. Kale. Our prayer meeting Wednesday was conducted by a few of Barium’s friends from a church in Statesville. We were very glad to have them and enjoyed the program. Commencement is drawing very near. We are looking forward to the close of school and vacation. Good-bye until next month. —First Floor Girls. —P. 0.

The people in Statesville are so nice to us, they invited us in to see the big whale that weighed 68 tons and is 55 feet long. It was the larg- est thing that we have ever seen. We want to thank the people who invited us. We were invited in to the Play- house to see “Tarzan, the Ape-man” a week or two ago and it certainly was good. We are having plenty of green vegetables to eat these days and we thank Mr. Clark for them. Mr. Johnston and some of the wor- kers here are going to Atlanta, Ga. Friday to a conference. The Iredell county schools afl met at Barium to have ther annual field day. It started at one and lasted un- til six. We enjoyed having them with us very much and hope they all had a nice time. The Seniors gave their play on April 15th. It certainly was good. There will be a revival meeting here beginning May 3, and lasting that week. We hope it will be a suc- cess. The campus is real pretty now, the trees are almost full of leaves and grass is real green. : Mr. Joe Clark’s two fittle girls visited Sally Farmer yesterday afternoon. It was a pleasure to have them here. : It won’t be long until we can go in swimming and oh boy! will we be glad. i We have all received our clothing boxes and won’t we look fine Com- mencement? 3 We have not had any patients for a good while so you see we have had a rest. We have been taking many walks since we haven't had anyone here. The woods are real pretty and they are just full of dog-wood which is now in bloom. What is going to happen, one of our girls is reducing! Guess we'll be buying a reducing machine now before long. Everyone is welcome to come to the Intirmary and help wash walls.

There was some mention of the depression in the discussions during this meeting, but as a rule, the topics discussed Bina matters looking toward the better-!| ment of the conditions for the children, and the doing away with the mistakes that become evident from time to time in our work. Anyone visiting these meetings can not help but be struck by the air of hopetulness and faith, that the people working in Orphanages seem to always carry with them. Possibly it is because we all deal in trouble that keeps trouble from terrifying us. The conditions brought about by the depression has been terrifying to a number of people because it is their experience in facing adverse conditions. Mr. Woosley, the Superintendent of the Children’s Home otf Winston- Salem was elected President for the | next year, and the Methodist Orphanage at Raleigh will be the place cf meeting. We are already looking foward with lively an- ticipation to the kind of dish these two good Methodist Brethren will serve. The Baptist-Episcopal Combination of this year was fine. Mr. Wheeler of the Thompson Orphanage in Char- lotte being President and Mr. Ander- son of the Georgia Baptist Orphan- age being host to the meeting. —P. 0. H.— Howard Ce HOWARD COTTAGE, April 20— Summer is just about here, even though it is still cool. A dove couldn’t wait for the leaves to grow on a tree right outside our window. She has built her nest and is sitting on the eggs. We believe the birds like to hear our noisy prat- tle the way they build nests right around our house. Our tulips and other flowers are beginning to bloom but they are not going to be as pretty as they were last year, because it has been so cold. We have been busy putting out new shrubbery around our house and we hope it is going to grow a lot this summer. The seniors gave a play, “Hurri- cane Hal.” It was fine and we all enjoyed it. We also enjoyed the special music given by the High School boys, and the tap dance by James Ladd Fowler. The manager of the Playhouse invited us to see Tarzan The Ape Man. We always enjoy going to Statesville but we especially enjoyed seeing Tarzan, because we have been keeping up with him in the Char- lotte Observer for a fong time. We haven’t had many pictures here this winter, but the ones we have had were very good. We thank the people who sent us jelly and preserves. We have been having them for Saturday night supper at our cottage. We have been enjoying the Sun- day morning prayer service in the dining room, and we are looking forward to a good program from the Baby Cottage children. As news is scarce we good-bye until next month. ALICE JONES —P. 0.

We went to a show in Statesville the other day. It was “Tarzan, the Ape-man”. We sure did enjoy it. Our girls had a base-ball game the other day and the score was fifteen to eighteen in our favor. We are looking forward to going | in swimming and everybody will be glad when that time comes. The birthday dinner was held to- day and three of our boys went to it.

Only three Presbyteries have gone past the dollar mark. One exactly five cents per member, and one fell below this. Each Presbytery shows a falling behind as compared with a year ago. The greatest reduction was in Gran- | ville Presbytery which finished the year, a year ago, a little bit ahead of the $1.50 average, but this year dropped almost to the half-way point. A total reduction of seventy- two cents per member. The total for the entire Synod means a falling behind from what we should expect | of a little over one-third, or about thirty-six thousand dollars, falling behind as compared with last year, is approximately $23,000.00. The Orphanage has adjusted its expenses down to last year’s income, a iopping off of something like a$1,- 000.00 a month in expense, but the difference between last year’s in-| come and this year’s is represented | by 1 debt which is unpaid and hang- | ing over the Orphe age today.

You ought to have been here last night, April the 15th. to see the Seniors give their play, “Hurricane Hal.” It sure was good. We are having baseball games now. Have played Troutman and Celeste Henkel, beating both games. We'll be stars someday if you don’t watch out. We were invited to Statesville to see “Tarzan” and if you could hear _|the talk here you would know how ‘much we enjoyed it. We certainly do thank these kind friends for being so kind to us. Since our last letter We have lost one of our girls, Pauline Starling who has gone to Washington,D. C. to make her home with her uncle. We miss her lots, but wish the best of luck in her new home. We lost one and gained another since Linda Culp has come back to us after a stay at Annie Louise. Did you have a good Easter? We did, got Monday holiday and all of Lottie Walker girls went to States- ville to see “After Tomorrow.” Some of our girls entered the Music contest held in Hickory. We are sorry to say we did not win first place, but that doesn’t mean our girls can’t play the piano at all. The others just played a little better you see. Never mind, we'll do better next time. We have been having a_ good many cases of flu, none serious, but the worst is over now and every body is back in school again. Well since our thinking cap has blown away, guess we will have to close this with the promise to do it again next month. Until then, Good- bye. | CEE ee iscellaneous Gifts ‘OCUGRRGOROUQGECEDESROGGUCERGEEDOCGEDRNRGOOUROERGDE® Shelby, Auxiliary two quilts made by Mrs. Higgins. Sanatorium, Shiloh Auxiliary, quilt.

There is a place—a very large place. A dollar contirbuted for the Lord’s work that is carelessly or wastefully handled comes near to being a sacrilege because it does rob the work of just that much force. It may even deprive some soul of a chance at salvation. There is a place for economy in the Lord’s work. Not just in times of depression, but at all times. In times when money is most plentiful and when contributions roll in with the most freedom, there still 1s just as much necessity for economy as now. There is a danger, however, in keeping our minds too much on economy. We sometimes translate as economy things that are not. We become most careful of what we contribute to the Lord’s work; and it just a step from that to being most careful in what we do for the Lord, and before we know it, not only our contri- butions, but our personal efforts have slumped. This Institution has been going through most trying times. We are learning lessons as we go. We have been possibly too anxious about the economy part of the program, and we have lost something of the vision. We can’t help but believe that the church wil! do our work somewhat as we do it ourselves. During the past year, by extraordinary efforts, we pared down expenses in every line, to reduce the expenses of the Orphanage, $10,800.00 as against expenditures of thepreceding year. : This is something that we might be proud of. The shaving of almost a thousand dollars a month for the entire year, as compared with a year ago, when we thought we were doing everything possible to lower expenses. We migh think that as a result of these efforts, we would be in much better position at this time to go before our Church, and ask for a vote of con- fidence and promise of future support. But we go before our Church rather ashamed. We find that our efforts to reduce expenses have been met by the Church in a reduction of contributions of $2.00 to $1.00. While we Miss M. M. Turner - Rumple Halli were saving $10,800.00, the church contributions fell back Miss Una Moore - - - Infirmary/$21,000.00. We find that while we are making the most Mrs. J. K.

Isn’t this carrying economy too far? Isn’t this emphasizing out of all proportion, seeing how little we can do for the Lord, and losing sight entirely of the wonderful possibillities and promises that we have from God himself.

There’s something sort of pathetic about a horsefly sitting on the ra- diator of a truck. Early childhood impressions are the first row of stitches, the rest of life is knitted to them. So live with thy friend that if he become thine enemy he can do thee no harm. Those we love best are the ones who can hurt us most. Expenses are not hard to meet—- you meet them everywhere. A man looking for trouble needs no search warrant. Yoy can build no tomorrow with- out today’s foundation. Man punishes the action, but God, the intention.—Byron. He that lives on hopes will starve to death. He who Itunts for flowers, will find flowers; who loves weeds may find weeds.—Beecher. “A mother is likened unto a moun- tain spring that nourishes the tree at the root; but one who mothers an- other’s child is like unto a water that rises into a cloud and goes a long distance to nourish a lone tree in the desert.,—THE TALMUD. SAYINGS OF BILLY SUNDAY You ought to regard prayer as neces- Sary every morning as washing face. If you have not joy in your religion, there is a leak in your Christianity somewhere. Lots of people pay for success and forget to thank God after they become prosperious. Nominative, I; possessive, mine; obj- ective, me; with a lot of folks that’s their whole service to God. The man with a little faith deserves alittleGod. The man with mountain- moving faith gets earthquake results. There is no power on earth that can lift to heaven, or shove to hell like the touch of a mother’s hand. ————P..0.H. GOD'S ARITHMETIC When from God you have a blessing, devide it, And He'll multiply it many times to you. To the gift from which you take to share with others, he will add. You may read it in His Word and Prove it true. —King’s Business. —P. 0. H— There was a Scotchman who was provok- ed when his son brought home an all day sucker at 5 o'clock, your of a sunset in a dimly lighted building; and discussing ways and means of getting out a cheaper picture, when we could just step outdoors and get a view of the sunset as God created it. In this connection, a friend has recently sent us a news- paper clipping which contains the pastoral letter from the House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church. We are quoting part of it. It expresses so clearly and so fearlessly what we have attempted to show in this editorial. Isn’t it time that we wake up and real- ize just where we are drifting? The mole is a rather helpless animal—and ridiculous, too. At one time it had eyes. It found it easier to use its paws rather than it’s eyes; and now it has no eyes. Don’t Jet us be like the mole in our religious lives. “A time of crisis is always a time of criticism. After a careful and ertical study of the methods and policies of the National Council we give you our fullest assurance that the business af the Church will be carried on, not only with great ability but also with increased and per- sstent attention to every economy consistent with a faithful discharge of duty. “The Church is nog a business institution in the sense that when de- pression comes the work is thereby lessened. When factories shut down, the Church must speed up; when business ebbs, the Church must be at flood tide; man’s extremity is God’s opportunity. Ideally budgets should be increased—not cut—if the Church is to render that full service of which she is capable. We must see the budget in trms not of money but of life. “Suffering and distress are widespread. Underneath the surface there is an overwhelming spiritual need. Discouragemént, disillusionment and despair must give way to courage, hope and faith. Our compassion- ate love goes out to all those who in unemployment, anxiety, in fear, are the victims of a world which does not follow Christ. “As brethren in Christ we call upon the strong to bear the burdens of the weak. We have been greatly moved by the example of many of the clergy and th laity of th Church, who, though hard pressed them- selves, have been glad to share in the service of the Christ. For this evi- dence of discipleship, which has learned the meaning and the power of courage.” CEPTEUDEATEACUSEAU ESCA UG SRUAATEDTSLALALSERAEUE ETE brought us books Baby Cottage thank them. he swimmi inviti UTOUEUGUUAEUERAAAA OU ASENCTSAE TEETER sian nase & bok wate tee us to ge in. }.

What'd he look like?” asked the farmer. “Well, he was about your build—” “Have on a grey flannel shirt?” “Yep.” “Was boots?” “Let’s see, which was they Char- ley, knee or hip boots?

Nevertheless, an edtitorial in that Paper, under date of July 11th, paints a gripping pic- ture of the evil the American people attacked in passing the prohibition amendment. “If the secret records’ of the brewing and distilling indust- ries were ever brought to light, they would tell a story of social and political curruption unequalled in the annuals of our history. “If the veritable narrative of the American saloon were ever written, it would make the decadence of Rome look like an age of pristine beauty in comparison ... If these men have not made a practice of commit- ting murder and arson, it is because these crimes did not seem immed- iately profitable. “The liquor business has been the faithful ally of every vicious element in America life.

That is an astound- ing fact. The Christian Century, comment- ing on the fact, holds that it is due to the organized underworld whose income from bootlegging has fallen off by reason of better enforcement of the prohibition law and depres- sion which has hit the bootleggers as well as others. It is nothing less than astounding to think that in a year’s time more than two thousand cases of kidnap- ing for ransom could occur in these United States. Things are not going to come to a pretty pass; they have already done it. The brazen audaci- ty of the money mongers and rac- keteers, unless they can be curbed, will threaten the existance of the government itself. One would have never dreamed that the black hand of the under- world would reach up and take away so many people for the sake of gain But the thing has already been done. What is more and worse, it will probably be found that the “mach- ine governments” which exist in cer- tain cities are particep criminis in the abducton of so many people, if for no other reason than to curry favar with the criminal class in the matter of political elections. —P.

On arrival in New York 16 days later the fruit was found in perfect condition. A small portion of the shipment was sent back to San Francisco on board the same ship at temperature between 22 degrees and 35 degrees Fahrenheit. When opened on arrival at the Pacific port the fruit was still found to be perfect. As a result of these successful exper- iments, large quantities of California, Oregon and Washington apples are now shipped by steamer regularly to Atlantic ports via the Panama Canal, at freight rates somewhat lower than by railroad.—Boston News Bureau. —P. 0. H.— A THOUGHT FOR TODAY “Have you a boy born beween 1911 and 1927? Have you lavished love on him and sacrificed for him, seek- ing to give him a chance in life? Unless America can revise her his- tory, you are rearing that boy to be a target for machine-gun bullets, a prey to poison gas. Not only so, but you contribute to his danger when you lend yourself to international hate; yes, even when you are in- different to promoting the cause of peace you are adding danger to the life of the boy you love. It will be you not he, who will say whether he marches away to return no more. Your generation, not his, will neg- lect the safeguards of peace and promote the rivalries that lead to war. Your contemporaries, not his comrades, will pass the conscription laws, on which the ardent spirit of youth will hardly wait. It is abso- lutely within the power of the par- ents of young children in the United States to say whether their sons shall inherit the war or peace; but American parents must use that now. They cannot wait until the quarrels are made and blood is hot and the mob mind is past control. The latest date at which war can be prevented in 1942 is in 1932. If your boy is killed in the next war after you have exerted yourself for peace, other men are his murderers. If he is slain after you have been indif- ferent about peace his blood is on your head.” —Dougias Freeman in the Progressive Farmer. —P. 0. H— “FORGETORY”, A DIVINE BLESSING “A good memory is a priceless pos- sessin, but a good ‘forgetory’ is a divine blessng. There are things we ought to remember, and other things that will corrode and destroy our happiness unless we forget them. Train your mind to forget all cross words, all evil gossip, $lander, all unkind looks, and invitations you didn’t get. Forget the seeming care- lessness of those who love you; they may only be preoccupied with their own troubles. Forget unpleasant things. By carrying them in your mind you make it a chamber of hor- rors, a junkyard of worthless wreck- age. Exercise your memory on good things only. Let your forget- ory dematerialize the things that would do you harm. Remember that bad memories hurt us. Memores of good things buiuld us up.”—Miama (Fla.) Edison Herald. FRIENDSHHIP If nobody smiled and nobody cheered, And nobody helped us along, If each, every minute, looked after himself, And the good things all went to the strong; If, nobody cared just a little for you, And nobody thought about me; And we stood all alone in the battle of life; What a dreary old world it would be. Life is sweet just because of the friends we have made, And the things which in common we share, We want to live on, not because of ourselves, But because of the people who cares: else— On that all life’s splendor depends; And the joy of the world, when it’s all added up, Is found in the making of friends. —P. 0. H.— UOUDEREOUAOCTSEGUCEOEEUGESEUGUOOEROOEEUROOEOOEUSEEE Farm - Campus Farm News May 16—Vacations are here once more. The main talk a- round here now is,“When are you going vacation?” Two or three more days of school, and then we have our long looked for Commencement. More than likely some of the boys graduating this year will work here this summer. Approximately all the graduating class will go to Davidson College next year. We are looking forward to a grand showing in the atletics, as well as in studies, from these boys. “Who likes peanuts?” If you do, just drop around Barium about next fall and you can get some swell pea- nuts. We saved twenty bushels from our last years crop for seed. There will be about eight acres of peanuts planted here. The farm group has already shelled about a bag full to plant, and soon there will be more to shell. A bunch of our husky boys are swinging mattocks now and are cleaning the sprouts and roots from our fields, preparing them for corn. Corn is being planted late this spring, on account of not having to plant anything but sflage corn. We expect to receive three or four box- ear loads of corn from the McDonald farm. With this the mules and hogs are fed. Also some of it is ground and made into cornbread, hog-feed, and mixed in with other feeds to make cowfeed. The sheep are running around pretty frisky now since they have had their wool clipped. Just to think about it, we get a lot of wool, be- cause we have such a large herd of sheep. They usually graze on our new football field but since the boys are cutting the grass there, they eat the grass up on the campus. Mr. Joe Clark hag already plant- ed watermelons down at Mr. Cavin’s place and we are expecting a large crop. The alfalfa is ready to cut now- standing about a foot and a half in height. There is always a lot of alfalfa when cutting time comes and the farm group has a_ good time hauling it. With no more news we will close. —Joe Keenan. —P. 0.

BARiUM M@i'S8 SOORDEUUAAASUESCRUOEEMAEULIHLHHHHNNTMAHD Alexander- Dairy Cottage Alexander News, May 16—School is almost out. Only one more week. We sure are glad. Most of our boys are expecting to make their grade. The swimming pool was cleaned out last week. Everyone is going in almost every day. It had rained al- every day since it has been open. But this did not keep some of them out even if it was cold. Commencement begins the 28rd of May. We will hate to see all of our good friends of the graduating class leave. We wish them a great success in the future. Our dary has increased a great deal lately in calves and milk. We have so much milk we don’t have enough cans to put it in. Two months ago we were getting 110 gallons of milk and at the present we are get- ting 160 gallon each day. The farmers are plowing up the clover field which is a great farorite of cur milch cows. When the cows are let out they always run to the clover field if the gate is open. We have a new wagon. “Pet,” the dairy mule seems to like this wagon a great deal any way he hasn’t kicked the front out of it yet. We suppose it is because of its lightness. We have a very good mule, the boys have to push him up hill and the wagon pushes him down. He is a good “guy” after all though. Last week Dr. McQueen held a series of services here. We all en- joyed it a great deal and hope he will come to see us again soon. Strawberries are getting ripe and are wery good. We will close until the apples get green. Gordon Jones. —P. 0.

Neither of these letters was written at a good time. One was written at a time when there was a special appeal on for andther cause. The second letter was written at a bad time of the year, when the church was more or less dormant after winding up the church year. The writer of these letters realized that it was not a good time to write. It was only the urgency of the situation that necessitated writing. Sometimes when a person is drowning, the thought may flash through his mind that it is not a good time to call on people for help; it may be > cold weather, it may be rainy, and it may nat be a nice time to get wet; but if you are drowning, you can’t wait until the conditions are ripe, and this was the situation in regard to our financial condition, when these two letters were written. We were severly criticised for writing the first letter, and apparently we have been to a large extent, ignored in the secdad. There are a few bright spots, however, to mention. We faced and still face a situation that is critical and destructive. We were unable to pay our bills, and the letters coming into our office about these unpaid bills are not so nice to read, and are rather difficult to answer. We are approaching the end of school, and our teachers have not been paid for over thirty days, to say nothing of matrons and other employees. But in spite of al this, there are behind the clouds, and that the Lord evidences that the sun is still shining does have a hand in helping. Our letter was read in a few churches. We do not know whether the pastors made any further comment, or whether anything was expected to result from the mention of our condition, but we believe that every instance where this was done, there has been a commendable response. In some instances, far beyond our expectations. We have received checks from individuals in which they have mentioned ab ut our conditions being called to their attenton. These people that have responded have apparently done so gladly. They haven’t intimated that what they were doing was going to lift us entirely out of our bad situation. And yet, just a little mathematics will show to anyone consludively that if the effort thus put cut in these few places had been general throughout our entire Synod, we would at the present time, be relieved of dur presssing emergency. A great many of’ our pastors have misunderstood the purpose of our letter. We did not intend for a campaign to be made, nor even a special collection taken. We simply wanted our plight called to the attention of the membership of the church to give everyone an opportunity to do what they might possibly have forgotten to do last Thanksgiving; or to supple- ment what they had done then, if they thought they could. We still believe that this will be effective. Only the Lord can put it into the people’s heart ta do things, and we believe that He is moving upon the hearts of the people that know expect Him to perform the miracle of abdut our condition. We can hardly appearing in a vision to tell our peo- ple our pligit, when we have the church with its numerous organizations to do that for us. We have had letters from our pastors stating that they h ad read or letter and commented on our great need. They said in these letters that they were afraid it was going to do these that have written and these that may have write, that their efforts have been worthwhile; to. Let’s all take this matter to the L doing, that let’d not forget to put the may know what we are praying about. little good.

On account of this, the cups that were won in the last Track Meet were awarded at Commencement, and Mr. Ralph McMillan presented these. The large cup was for the winner of the Orphanage Track Meet which took place in Winston-Salem on May 20th.

DAHLIAS Some time last year we made mention in these cojumns about a man whose hobby is dahlias, stop- ping by Barium Springs one day asking us if he could not set out a lot around our football field. This sounded so good and suited us so well that we were almost a- fraid to count on it; but back here about the middle of May, the dah- lias appeared, and samething like 8 hundred were set cut around the whole upper side of the football field. These dahlias are growing beautifully now. They are kind that bloom in the fall. The way they are going to look is going to be worth the price of admission to anyone coming out to see our foot- ball games this all; and for all this we are most grateful to Mr, Dick Cashion of North Wilkesboro, who has done all this for us. Who knows but what he has start- ed a dahlia craze at Barium, and that with start, we may become one of the dahlia beauty spots of the State. This is the second time we have said something about this. Don’t get tired of hearing about it, be- cause you'll hear some more when these dahlias commence to bloom. interesting.

We found that during the same time the receipts from the churches had been reduced $21,0090- .00 for the year. We had a pressing number of debts on our hands and nost gloomy predictions from our well-wishers on all sides. The con- tributions in April and May were right in line with these predictions: they did not show any improvement, and the future of our work seemed gloomy indeed. Further drastic reductions in our organization were made to get our expense budget $15,000.00 lower ev- en than this past year, but still that did not take care of our debts. The amount expected from each member | of the Synod was reduced from $1.50 per year to $1.20. We had a notisn that possibly that fraction of 1242c. per month must have had a bad re- action on the minds of people who had trouble with fractions when they were in school; and “ten cents a month” is so much easier to remem- ber, and yet in spite of that reduc- tion, the last column in our Table still showed a big percentage behind for all the Presbyteries. So} much for the “Clouds.” “THE RAINBOW” Now for the “Rainbow,”—or “Sil- ver Lining’—whichever you want to ‘all it. A close study of our present Table of Receipts for June, as com- pared with June 1931, gives us a number of things to be cheerful about. In the first place, although it is not more than half as big, as the amount needed for the month, it is so much better than last year that we just feel like giving three cheers. It also reflects that in those Pres- byteries where the membership have had the courage—“foolish courage” as some people have expressed it to attempt something for God, even under the difficulties surrounding us, that most commendable results have been already noticed. Winston-Salem, for instance, has given three times the amount given by them in June 1931. Albemarle, a ‘third more; Orange six times as much; Granville four times as much: Mecklenburg twice as much, and so on, with every Presbytery but one showing an increase. This is more nearly unanimous than any time we have ever noted, and the total for the entire Synod is twice the amount contributed June, 1931, Now, do not get too excited or sat- isfied about this thing. We hope that this is just a sign of greater things to fcllow. If we stopped and went to cheering and parading right now, our last state would be worse than the first, because we have not begun to be relieved of the pressing indebted- ness that we have over our heads at this time. We are simply telling you all about this so that you can see that the situation is not hopeless, and that where an effort has been mace to do something, that good results have followed. And now just one other word of cheer: We saw for the first time several days ago, the results of the Every Member Canvass. We were all set to be shocked just as we are Fa we see headlines in the paper | | | about a bank failure. The first infor- mation given out was that the total for the entire Southern Presbytery Church had fallen a quarter of a mil- lion dollars, or 20%. In studying the returns from the various Synods, we find that the Synod of Missouri had tallen behind 63%, and other Sy- nods with varying amounts, all through the list, except three; and |} of these three that showed an in- | crease, the Synod ef North Carolina lead with an increase of 14% over the amount subscribed in the Every Member Canvass of March, 1981. Even in spite of politics, we ought to feel good over this. Friends, let’s just up and at ’em. We're not whipped, and there IS a way out.

Sometimes thrifty make their than others not so thrifty, and as a result not in children of a turn of would more mine clothes go a lot further the thrifty child would always have more nice clothes at his or her dis- posal than the other child who might be down to the last rarment, when the time came for a new clothing box to be delivered. Now, for a number of years, no difference was made between these children. We did not want te penalize the thrifty child by giving her less than the wasteful child, and it re- sulted in the thrifty child having much more than the others. It was only afte: the installation worked out to give the thrifty chili fewer clothes, and make it up in other directions. We believe that this started more children to be thrifty, and it was reflected in a lower consumption of clothes, because it was found possi- ble to cut by than fifty per cent the number of garments furn- ished a good many individuals. In fact, we attempted one time to go through one half a year with no new garments being made at all. Now, commencing with our fall term this year, we do not plan to furnish each child with a complete box. We are re-organizing our entire clothing system, and hope to utilize more than we have ever done more before, the out-grown garments of our children here, to lower our total clothing bill. We have to de this to stay within the $30.00 per year per child. In this connection, we are doing away with one of our clothing de- partment, We are doing away with the service of Miss Mary Lea, and we know this is going to cause some confusion in the correspondence and assigning of children, to clothing people, but it Is all being done for the sake of economy, and we are passing on to the ckfhing people our savings in this department. A cut of one-third in the amount con- tributed for clothing is a large sum to be absorbed at the same time that we are having to adjust ourselves to lower revenue from all de- partments. Now, you may ask what has be- come of the saving on the clothing account, the difference between the $45.00 sent in by clothing people and the $30.00 actually spent for clothes during past year. The answer is plain—the money went into the general support fund.. You see the clothing money is | about one-fifth of the total exp&nse of caring for a child and we are needing money always for that.

And on the other hand, if it should cost more to clothe the child assigned you than the amount you send in, the support fund has to make up the difference..

He goes on to relate that the same day there wasa letter in his post- office box that did not belong to him; he called No. 98 on the phone and got 198; he asked for a spool of number fifty thread and got no sixty; he got his milk bill and there was a mistake of ten cents in his favor; he felt sick and the doctor said he was eating too much meat when he hadn't tasted meat fortwo months; the garage man said the jitney was missing because it need- ed a new timer and he cleaned a sparkplug and it has run fine ever since.

FAREWELLS It looks like we get used to say- ing “farewell” to people who live at Barium Springs, and it is somewhat as a matter of course that we each year say “goodbye” to our graduat- ing class. It means that we hate to see them go, and yet we know that they must; that the world expects them to step out on their own, and to make their place in the world. There is always the thought of re- ahead of people to whom we tell good-bye, and it is not such a weepy thing, after all. To our young people it is like step- union these ping out on a big adventure, and this takes away quite a bit of the | pangs of parting, both for them | and for us. With our old and valued workers who have been with us for a number of years, it is quite different, how- ever. There seems to be something so final in our good-byes to them. can joke about the depression, and feel that possibly it is good for us in a number of ways, until it makes us commence to say good-bye to so many people who have grown to be a part of Barium Springs, and then we cannot see anything so funny or light about the depression at all. All of this is preliminary to say- ing that during the last six months we have had to say good-bye to the following: First, Miss Eugenia Pat- terson, a most efficient teacher of our Domestic Science Department, a young woman who while taking her course in college, spent most of her vacations at Barium Springs as a substitute matron. We feel that Miss Patterson belongs to us in more ways than one. She is now in the eastern part of the State hold- ing down, most efficiently, the job of Home Demonstration Agent. The next to leave were Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Johnson. Mr. Johnson taught our commercial department in the high school. He assisted with the bookkeeping, with the corr'es- pondence and with articles for the church papers, and in many ways was a most valuable member of the community. He is still an elder in Little Joe’s Church. Mr. Johnson's department in school was closed for purpeses of economy, and _ this splendid couple are now with Mit- chell College in Statesville. We are indeed glad that they. found work so near us, and that we can still see them frequently. Mrs. R. L. Johnson taught our third grade and her work was entirely satisfactory. Miss Mary Lea who has been in charge of ali correspondence abcut clothing, gifts in kind, and many other duties connected with the Orphanage for the last nine years, leaves us on the first of July. We dread to think of Miss Lea being away. No matter how much we can divide up her work among the other employees, there is always going to be things that will be left undone, because of Miss Lea’s absence. A most unselfish, lovable person who has served Barium Springs most loyally during the last nine years. Miss Lea will no doubt be in Greens- boro for the next few months. Mrs. J. H. Hill, matron of the Second Floor Lottie Walker Build- ing. Mrs. Hill has been with us al- so for about nine years. At one time she was matron of the Baby Cot- tage, later on taking the next to the largest girls under her care, and has been a most satisfactory and faithful matron durmg that’ time. She leaves us on July the first, and the two floors of the Lottie Walker Builcing will be consolidated into one group under one matron. Mrs. Hill will live in Statesville and will be near enough for us to keep in touch with her, but we will miss her on the Barium campus for many a day. Then there is Miss Dorothy Car son, the youngest member of our faculty who has had charge of the Kindergarten, who has had part in the directing of playground acttiv- ities, who was assistant coach for the girls’ athletics, and in charge of most of the young peoples’ speciat programs. Miss Carson’s activities touched so many different people here that we are all going to won- der what is the matter when we start up the fall term without her. The work at Barium was Miss Car- son’s first ,teaching wadrk, after graduating from Erskine. She will be at Statesville on the school fac- ulty there, and we hope that we will have many opportunities to have her as our guest during the coming | year. There is not one of these work- ers but would have been retained had not the reduction in revenue made it necessary to eliminate their departments. Barium Springs wishes them all success and happiness and the as- surance that our love goes with them in whatever work they may engage in. P.O.H.

This is really and truly, August and think about Scptember coming next and school. Then lots of fun will be over. Lees cottage has been lonesome for the last month, so many boys have gone on their vacations. We heard from Oscar Clark, who is in the mountains of New York, as a guest ef the Gould foundation, he is having a great time. We also heard from Neil McKee and poor boy fell and broke his arm, so guess it spoiled his vacation. Another boy, John Nungeezer fell out of a tree and BARIUM SPRIN iS, NORTH CAROLINA, AUGUST, 1932 started to go the rounds of the cot- tages, but I wremembered that very few of the matrons had been paid their money lately, and that might bring up jects. embarrassing sub- and hurt his shoulder.

SMITH Our community was shocked § | on the morning of July the | 19th. to hear of the death of our good friend and former President, Mr. T. T. Smith of Concord. Mr. Smith was for a number of years, a member of the Board of Regents, and for two years was President; but his interest in Barium did nvt cease with the expiration of his term as Regent. He had continued to be interested and had made frequent visits to Ba- rium in its interests. It is doubtful if anyone in re- cent years has taken a more active interest in all phases of the Orphanage’s work than Mr. Smith. Even to assisting in get- ting work for the young people when they finish Barium. Dur- ing the past year, Mr. Smith had helped two girls secure work, and they are most happily situated. We will all miss the passing of this good friend. 1 ke — | letters MR. HUGH NEISLER Mr. Hugh Neisler, the son of Mrs. C. E. Neisler of Kings Mountain, died at’the Presby- terian hospital in Charlotte, and the account of his death ap- peared the same day as that of Mr. Smith. Mr. Neisler’s Mother, Mrs. C. E. Neisler, was for a number of years a mem- ber of our Board of Regents, | | and she is remembered and loved here by everyone who knew her. Mrs. Neisler has’ been twice bereaved in a short space of time; through the loss of her husband, and son. Our sympath- ies goes out to the loved ones of these two friends. ws + * MISS MAMIE MONTGOMERY Miss Montgomery was for some time matron of the First Floor Lottie Walker Building, while her sister was matron of the Second Floor. She had to give up this work on account of her health, and we had all hop- ed that she would get strong enough to again take up this work which she handled so satisfactorily. We are all very much grieved to hear of Miss Montgomery's death which took place on July the 19th. We feel indeed that we have lost a true friend in the passing of this fine woman. BIRTH Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Stinson are the the proud parents of a fine young lady, born Monday, July 1ith. Weight, 10 pounds. Mr. Stinson is a member of the farm department, having been associated in this work for a number of years. Their many friends throughout the community extend hearty con- gratulations, ; out the advice of one friend, jhave run exactly counter to the ad- }on stock that is held by us, |parently not one word of encourage- It seemed that every conversation with the young people would soon turn around to questions about a camping trip; and while our camp- ing trips are marvels in economy they still entail the spending of money, and it is extremely doubtful whether or not any sort of a camp- ing trip could be managed this year. Now, when you say “Maybe” to a youngster about a vacation, he translates it “Sure thing” and _ be- fore you know it, you are tied up just as tight as if your name had been signed to a document and wit- nessed by hundreds of people. So I did not find it comfortable to as- sociate tc closely with the children here, on the particular day that I am talking about. I slipped into the office quietly and commenced to read the mail. I very carefully made one pile of the from people that we owed money to. It was a pretty big pile! Some cf the letters were friendly, some were impatient, and some were downright insulting, and everything that all of them said was so. We were being all sorts of what-you- may-call-it because we had not paid as we had promised. You know people that you owe moneyto art somewhat like children; they trans- late a hope into a promise, quite often. Anyhow, that pile of mail was temporarily disposed of by putting a large paperweight on it; and then we took up the other parts of the mail. There were applications, and there were replies from people whom we had written to in a most urgent manner for money. On this particu- lar day, there was no money at all, although there were a numbr of replies from ‘these special pppeals and they ‘all contained advice, and when we finally finished with that batch of mail, we found that there was quite a large stack of that. We didn’t sum up the advice, but it was quite heavy, and quite often conflict- ing. In other words, if I had carried it would vice of another friend. So we pvt this pile of mail under another pa- perweight. Then we went through all of the other mail. There were excuses com- ing to us as to why certain rents jand interest money was late coming |to us; why dividends had been passed and ap- ment in the whole lot. So much so | that by the time I was through read- | ing that, the weight of my responsi- bility seemed ito be overwhelming. It seemed that grief had been accu- mulating and had showered down on me like a cloud-burst! I felt that I just must talk to somebody about this. I decided that I might get to Statesville and slip into the center of things without passing any of the | banks. I knew that we owed money to all of the banks, and I dreaded particularly in my present frame of | mind, coming within range of the | reproachful eye of any of the guard- ians of the bank’s money. So I slipped into our splendid town of Statesville, a back way—coming in by the Jail, and the Courthouse, in search of a friendly and sympathetic p 1 to whom I might unburden 1 earied soul, I was not long till I saw one. He was standing on the sidewalk, ap- parently unoccupied, man whom I had known of old, courageous, cheer- ful, sympathetic—and my eye lighted up with pleasure, and my mouth wa- tered with anticipation at the very thought of the sympathetic hearing that his friend would give my trou- bles. I approached him with out- ttretehed hand and gleaming eye. After the usual discussion of the weather, and politics, we began to touch on more personal matters, and I began to lay the foundation fdr my tale of woe. I was allowed to pro- ceed for about five minutes, until I mentioned the word “hard-times” and then my friend just held up his i iio eid iamiciieaesane tena IT know that I felt’ better when ; ® r came home.

The only way we can arrive at the answer to that question as to whe- ther there will be a reasonable amount of money is to see what we are getting now and by comparison, what we may expect during the bal- ance of this year. Unless there is a very decided change in our receipts soon, the an- swer is a most positive “NO” to re- ceiving any futher children. On the other hand, should we re- duce the number here and refuse to take in any additional children, we lay ourselves open to the criticism that we are failing to ren- der to the Church the service for which this Institution has been built Ve are failing to render that service at a time of most critical need; and should we be too timorous and_re- duce more than economic conditions should justify, we would certainly be classed as delinquent and dere- lect in our duty.

Who Said Secluded? HE. Criticismi is daften } made about Orphanages that the children lead| such a_ secluded life # that they do not grow up as normal children; that they have so few contacts with ther chjldren that they are apt to grow up, either old fashioned, or with a feeling that they are diff:erent. They may de- velop a complex, and be a distinct problem when they attempt to be- come a working unit in society, after their orphanage days are over. We want to present to our readers a few statistics, and let them judge whether or not the children at Barium Springs lead a secluded ex- istence. We will attempt from memory to set down the number of contacts that the different groups have with other people; and| we will start with the first of June. We usually have from ten to twelve young people usually tenth graders who attend the Davidson Conference of Young people which as you know is made up of young people from the entire Synod of North Carolina. During this week at Davidson. it is rather difficult td estimate, ieven the number of personal contracts that each one of these ten children have with the hundreds of others young people there. Closely following this there are two Young Peoples’ Conference at Mitchell College. The first of the intermediate group to which we us- ually send about six young people. These are usually from ten _ to fourteen years of age; and then the second conference of older children to which we usually send six or seven. These are never the same young pedple that attended the Davidson Conference. During the summer the children usually visit their families. They either have a two weeks visit with aome of theirown relatives, and thus meet a number of people that have no connection with the Orphanage. There are larger groups that go on camps, and special picnics, the most far distant one this sum- mer being ten children in How- ell’s Holiday Camp at Windham, New York, the guest of Mr. Edwin Gould. Then there is a camping party usually of about a hundred children that spend four or five days at some resort and get to meet hundreds of people there. This brings us up to the opening of school in September. During the fall of the year, our varsity football team composed of usually boys from the tenth and eleventh grades play five football games away from home. They come in intimate contact with at least twenty boys in each game. So there are a hundred students from other schools that we get to know quite well in the games that we play away from home, and a like number in the games that we play here. Usually when a _ football team plays on our ground, they are enter- tained for supper. Our entire body of youngsters get to make a more or less intimate acquaintance each of these young people and others who come with them, and in addition to that, there are usually! from two hundred to two thousand of our neighbors that come to see our home games. In addition to these ten varsity games there are usually thirty other games played with smaller /teams, and thus the other boys that do not rate the varsity squad, get to meet some six hundred athletes during a season, to say nothing of the other people who follow the game closely, of the other friends that they meet on these trips. During the fall of the year, also, we usually attend football games played at Davidson. There are five of these and quite often as many as a hundred of our young people go to these games. They get to meet lots of friends at these big gatherings. After Christmas the basketball games start, and during the year just finished we played thirty-thre> girls games and twenty boy games, with an equal number of midget games. Half of these games are played on our own court, with a num- ber of people down to witness them. Then there were our wrest- ling meets. And inthese two sports, at a conservative estimate, we came in intimate contact certainly with eighty different teams, with an av- age of fifteen people per team to say nothing of the rooting sections. And then at the end of our bas- ketball season, we were host for a ten-county tournament in which our teams did not participate, but acted as host fcr these visiting twenty- two ‘teams. There were just lots of new friends made at this time, and our circle of acquaintances widened considerably. During the winter there were also musical contests in which we took part. Not only in the local with | munity but in county-wide and, fi- nally in State-wide contests. We finally sending five children to a regional contest held in Hickory. We also entered the declamation con- test. When the winter athletic season was over the outdoor season com- menced, and the girls had some base- playing about ten games _ to- gether with the boys’ track. The boys held six dual track meets and participated in one orphanage track meet in which four institutions par- ticipated. It is hard to estimate how many people were present at these meets. A track meet for a high school is quite an informal affair and when not actually doing their stunts, the various members of the teams can circulate in the crowd, and renew old acquaintances and pick up a lot of new ones. Finally at commencement we were hosts for hundreds of peo- ple that attend our exercises and oc- casionally stay with us for a meal or two. We would like to have some one put on this sort of a test: to take a boy from any public school and find out how many people he actually knows, and then take one of our boys of the similar grade and test him way. We have made this test ourselves, and we find that as a rule, the circle of acquaintance of the boys of our tenth and eleventh grades here, is a wider one than the similar boy from the public schools. schools. One of the reasons for this is that in the public schools, there are so many more children for the same number of opportunities for making teams that so many do not get a chance to participate; whereas, with our limited number practically ev- ery boy makes the football squad and some of the other athletic teams; and in this way a larger proportion of our boys and girls get a chance to make trips with the teams and thus get to make more acquaintances than the general run of boys and girls in other public schools. It is not the purpose of this article to argue that the Orphanage system is better than the public schol sys- tem. This is in answer to the criticism so often made by people who do not know the true state of affairs that our institution is secluded and does not give the children here the oppor- tunity to make normal acquaintances and friends that they would if they were not in such an institution. It is interesting to take a college an- nual from any of our colleges in this State, and call out the names of the students to a group of our tenth or eleventh grade boys or girls, and see how many of those college students they know. It would surprise you. P, , 8 DO NOT,.JRY TO KEEP N one sense we must keep up with others. Their success in- UP WITH OTHERS Pew us. A student should not tet another student outdo him! And often lead us to better ways of do- ing business, and to better methods of living. Keep up with good sen- sible people! But many properous people set a bad example. They spend too much dress and jewelry and automobiles. You may have enough to keep up with them, but I advise you to pay no attention to their example. Have simple habits.

Everybody knows they are poor, and living beyond their means. They thus lose their credit and the respect of sensible people. Poverty is net a crime. No sensible What makes some children selfish and competitive and others helpful find out. On the basis of the returns he suggests three main techniques for the making of a selfish young- ster. One way is to do everything for the child, after the manner of the self-sacrificing mother of fict- ion, and to give him little chance of cooperating with others in a com- mon endeavor. Another way is to put him under oressure to excel, starting him off toward the great American goal of “keeping up with the Joneses.” The third method is to place him in a group of children varying widely in age, intelligence and experience. The unselfish child—to reverse the picture— is likely to be one who is not constantly prodded, who has plenty of practice and encourage- ment in cooperation, and who is brought up among his intellectual and chronological peers.

By angel hands to valor given. Thy stars have lit the welkin dome, And all thy hues were born in heav- en, Forever float that standard sheet! Where beathes the foe but falls before us, With Freedom’s soil beneath our feet, And Freedom’s banner stream- ing o’er us? The United States Flag is unique in the deep and noble significance of its message to the entire world, a message of national independence, of individual liberty, of idealism, of patr'otism. It symbolizes national indepen- dence and popular sovereignty. It is not the Flag of reigniag family or royal house, bui of a hundred million free people welded into a Nation, one and inseparable, united not only by community of interest but by vital unity of sentiment and purpose; a Nation distinguished for the clear individual conception of its citizens alike of their duties and their priv- ileges, their obligations and their rights. It incarnates for all mankind the spirit of liberty and the glorious ideal of human freedom; not the freedom of unrestraint or the liberty of license, but an uniqne ideal of equal opportunity for ‘ife, liberty and the pursuit of hap- piness, safeguarded by the stern and lofty principles of duty of righteous- ness and of justice, and attainable by obedience to self-imposed laws. Floating from the lofty pinnacle of American idealism, it is a beacsn of enduring hope, like the famous Bartholdi Statue of liberty Enlighten- ing the World to the oppressed of all lands. It floats over a wondrous as- semblage of people from every racial! stock of the earth an_ indivisible and invinciple force for the defence and succor of the downtrodden. lt embodies the essence of patri- otism. Its spirit is the spirit of the American nation. Its history is the his- tory of the American people. Embal- zoned upon its folds in letters of living light are the names and fame of our heroic dead, the Father of the Republic who devoted upon its alter their lives, theirfortune and their sacred honor. Twicetold tales of National honor and glory cluster thickly about it. Ever victorious, it has emerged triumphant from eight great National conflicts. It flew at Saratoga, at Yorktown, at Palo Alto, at Gettysburg, at Manila Bay, at Chateau-Thierry. It bears witness to the immense expansion of our national boundaries, the development of our national resources, and the splendid structure of our civilization. It pro- phesies the triumph of popular govern- ment, of civic and religious liberty and of national righteousness throughout the worid. The Flag first rose over thirreen states along the Atlantic seaboard, with a population of some three million people. Today it flies over forty-eight states, extending across the continent, and over great islands of the two oceans; and one hundred thirty millions owe it allegiance. It has been brought to this proud position by love and sacrifice. Citizens have advanced it and heroes have died for it. It is the sign made visible of the strong spirit that has brought liberty and prosperity to the people of America. It 1s the Flag of all of us alike. Let us accord it honor and loyalty. —The Huddle — P. O. H.

So many things happen it is hard to keep up with them. When we wrote you last, Myrtle Johnson one of our big girls was at the P. Y. P.- L., at Davidson. She came by to see us for a day or two but went on home then for a month vacation. She will be away a month Saturday. Then Zora Lee, another of our big girls left us for her new home in Valdese, We miss Zora so, much but are glad she has such a nice home with Dr. and Mrs. Hemphill in Valdese. Next one of our big girls to go on her vacation was Iris Spencer. She went !to visit her mother in Drexel on the |5th. Mary Lee Kennely went to a 'econference at Mitchell College and was gone until the ninth. We miss jour big girls lots when they are away but are always glad to have them get these nice trips. On Friday July 8th Leone East, our last big girl left us for a visit to her people in Winston Salem. Some big girls from Woman's Building came over to help out, but our real standby here are the Howard girls, they have been so sweet to help us out all summer, and we appreciate it very much. So far only four of our babies have been on their vacation. Mabel Billings had a nice visit of one week with her father, Marie Morgan, had a week with her mother in Greensboro, Myrtle and Mable a week in Kannapolis wtth their mother. They are all home again. Our family has grown some in the last week. We have two new babies now litthe Mary Allen and Charles is only a little older than Bobby “our baby” and the Boss. If Bobby doesn’t watch his step, Charles will be dividing the honor with him. We are still enjoying our play ground, and these hot days the swimming pool is full. It is very dry. We would be glad to see some cantalopes and watermelons. We are getting nice peaches and plums every day and they surely do taste good. We are always glad to see Mr. Thomas and his boys come around with their truck we know it means something good for us. Some time ago Miss McGoogan from Howard cottage, got the truck to take her girls to see Miss Woods and invited us to go. We all en- joyed it so much. Mr. Lowrance let us have the truck a few Saturdays ago. We went to see Miss Carson, also Mr. and Mrs R. L. Johnston, and went on for a nice ride, Miss Carson went with us. We were glad to see her again. Myrtle and Mable Weddington’s mother brought us some _ nice ‘hydrangia plants. We have just put them out and this time next year we hope to have some nice blooms. We thank her for the plants. We children love flowers and appreciate anything to make our home prettery. Mama McGirt was called home last Friday night on account of the ‘illness of her little nephew , who died Saturday morning. We sym- pathize with them all in_ their sorrow. We were glad to have Mama Mc- Girt come back to us Monday. DOCTORING BY WIRELESS (London Tit-Bits.) A wonderful new code of inter- national wireless signals will come into operation on New Year’s Day, 1934. If the captain of a ship carry- ing no doctor has a case he cannot treat, his wireless operator will simply send out a prearranged sic- nal. This is sure to be picked up by a big ship, which will reply saying that the doctor is ready to be con- sulted. By means of the code the symptoms can be wirelessed from ship to ship, and the doctor’s directions for treatments can be received in the same way.

Farm, July 12—The peanuts (they don’t look so hot this year) have ‘been replanted and hoed and we were back in the corn but didn’t {have time to finish it before it was time to gaart threshing. Just think a week ago we had ever a hundred and twenty acres of grain to thrash, but today we are hoeing corn and the fields that con- ' tained the grain have been planted in peas. Threshing-We started threshing June 30 and finished our oats in one day but don’t think we didn’t have any. We got eight hundred and sixty four bushels, and it averaged up te nine hundred and eighty bushels in, weight; so if you want to really know how much we got just split! {the difference, and there’s our oats. | We (when I say we, I mean the farm group) started threshing wheat Friday July 1, With the thresher back of the dairy barn we started work. The thresher broke only one time, that being the first day, but we had it fixed in a couple of hours. Then when the work begun, with six wagons and the truck hauling, we finished two fields by dinner Saturday morning. While we were threshing we kept two trucks busy ‘between here and the _ Statesville flour mill. Getting a holiday for the fourth we started back threshing Tuesday morning and by nine the next day we were through with two other big fields, and with three big hay stacks to show for. We started toward Mr. Cavin’s house with the thresher and | was ready to start by dinner. We! Page Three Barium Wheat Crop Produces Fair Yield; Farm Boys Organize and Thresh Nearby Crops in Vicinity finished this field by that aight, but this was not our land, and only got a percent of the wheat. Leaving another big hay stack to show for. (when I say big I mean about forty feet, high and one hun- dred and fifty around) the thresher started toward the river eight miles away. The next morning by nine o’clock we were ready to thresh. By night we had _ threshed two fields, one twenty-five, and ene ten acres, This was not our land so we got two bushels out of every three, and all the straw. The two fields finishing up cur wheat, we started toward Barium, leaving nothing but the straw which we will bale later. _Our wheat brought us more than fifteen hundred bushels, at sixty cents a bushel, but some had some- thing the matter with it so we only got fifty five cents a bushel. This does not include the nine hundred and eighty bushels of oats which will be used for feed. We have been threshing for the public lately And have threshed approximately twelve hundred bush- els of wheat, barley and gats. The corn is being worked now, but we are nearly through, and will be cutting alfalfa next week. If you don’t like this one smile anyway because its funny. Eb.

In driving the cows out of the stauncheons, two of the bouvines made a sparring partner of Julian, and were bent on putting the finish- ing touches. He was kicked down by one, and, in an effort to extricate himself, the other animal decided to get up on the dairyman while he was down, and do a St. Vitus dance with two hoofs. However, painful at the time, Mr. West continued with his duties but speaks of his ex- perience something grotesque. —Peaches are paramount with Ba- rium’s family now, and they are thoroughly enjoyed by the children. The extent of the crop this year is very favorable, and the fruit good. Pears and apples are short. —The Messenger wishes to acknowledge a new exchange, “The Firing Line,” from Garahuns, Per- nambuco, Brazil. This Publication is sponsored by workers associated with Rev. & Mrs. Wm. G. Neville in a Presbyterian Mission School. A copy of the Messenger is sent there every month. —This is an item we are going to pass on to you for it’s a “dry” mea- sure. An old darkey on the streets of Statesville recently had this opin- ion of the times and conditions pre- vailing at this time. His statement was simply this: “Boss, ah wouldn’t min’ the depression ef it hadn’t come at sech ha’d times.” And our guess is likely this: he’s another one who forgot to put on the brakes a while back. —Rev.

She was accom- panied by her son, Mr. L. W. Hos-}| tettler. —The swimming pool at Barium is a pouplar mecca. The pool is accessible to all the children, but those big boys who work on the farm, and spend a whole summer developing an Amazon hue of sun- burn down to the waist, can better appreciate its haunts. Some of these farmers present various stages of color, and there are others’ that evidently like it, for they have a dark brown hue. Whatever their pur- pose in this hobby, its a good health item, nevertheless. —Mr. and Mrs. T. L. O’Kelly and children, T. L.

Mr. O’Kelly’s mother who makes her home here with her son, is also visiting relatives in Georgia. —July is a month sacred to the memory of all for its part in the making of our country’s history— and July 20th was set apart at Rumple Hall for 19 boys and girls, who we will commit to memory as “firecrackers” and “wisecrackers” that put a bomb in the works at a birthday dinner on that date.

FISHING AND THINKING There’s no place on earth better fitted far doing a good, sensible job of thinking than sitting along the bank of a stream with a fishing pole in your hand. It’s the best place to be found for studying over your problem and fishing a way to solve them. Not everyone enjoys fishing. But that is largely because they have not learned that there is more to it than! merely catching fish. Those who know the contentment of getting away from noise and business; those who con forget the balance of the, world for a few hours while sitting on the bank of a stream or in a boat, with pole in hand and blue, skies overhead—out where they can | |commune with nature and ask them- , {selves a lot of questions—those are the ones who know the joys of fish- ing. Few of us are without our problems*, {But all of them would melt like| the snow, if we would pull ourselves |together, hunt up a fishing pole and a can of bait; maybe a sandwich or |two and a friendly pipe; and go out for a few hours fishing. Those few }hours would be sufficient to change the color of the clouds that look darker to you than they really are. The things that now puzzle you would find a way of adjusting them- selves once you started in studying over them while you fished. And if you didn’t get a bite you’d return to your work to find your burdens a little lighter and none of them as |serious as you thought they were | before you did that job of dreamin while you fished. — P.

They were about to make a nurs- ery out of the Infirmary, because Mrs. McGirt was suddenly calied away, and we kept the three smallest babies. Recently we have taken in two new children. One two, and the other four. We were invited to the Playhouse to see “Rebecca of Sunny Brook Farm” and we enjoyed it very much. Some of our neighbors lost one of their “house cats” and we found it dead in the flower garden. We have not been having many patients now except a few with head- ache or the like, considering the hot weather. Dr. Brown and Dr. Gurthie ex- changed pulpits and we were glad to have him. We are expecting the Seniors Con- ference at Mitchell College to have a picnie Thursday Evening at the Spring. We enjoy going in swimming these hot days as it cools us off.

CAMP SCENES Lake Lure, August 17, 1982 All Aboard For Lake Lure, Via Lincolnton, Shelby, Rutherfordton OU will no doubt read in every cottage letter mention of the camping trip to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. We will try to ex- plain in this article in as few words as possible just what this is. Every summer the children are allowed to visit relatives or friends. The length of these visits run from twa weeks to thirty days, and usu- ally three-fourths of the children here get an outing of this kind. It has been our custom for a num- ber of years, to arrange some sort of an outing for those wha do no* get to go. This year there was 42 much larger number than ever be- fore, in spite of the fact that ten of the children have spent the sum- mer as the special guest of Mr. Ed- win Gould, in one of his camps. These camping trips are modest affairs. They have to be arranged on borrowed equipment, and largely through our own efforts here, as there is very little money to be spent on them. In fact, we dare not use more money on a camping trip than it would cost to maintain the children here for the same period. Two years ago we went to Mrytle Keach, taking 92 children, at an ex- pense of two dollars per child. Last year we went to Lake Waccamaw, with about 100 children, with an ex- pense of something over one dollar. This year, we took 120 children to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure, stay- ing five days, at an expense of a fraction over seventy-five cents per member. There were several delightful features connected with this trip this year. It was the nearest camp- ing site that we had used. We did not have to get away so early in the A. My morning. We left at 10:00 and jogged along slowly until we came to Lincolnton where we ate our lunch, incidently giving our Lincolnton friends a close up of more Barium Springs children than they had ever seen at one time. Leaving Lincolnton we journeyed on by easy stages to our camp at Lake Lure where we enjoyed the sunshine, the mountains) and the Lake, for five days. The weather was about what we usually find on our camping trips. Rainy. And every day and every night there was a _ shower, not enough to kill anybody or to disturb our rest, but just enough to give us something to worry about and to make us appreciate the sunshine the next day. Cn Friday morning, we camp and journeyed home, again stopping at Lincolnton where the ladies of the First Church had pre- pared a dandy lunch for us. This not only took the strain off our ap- petites, but certainly the strain off of the dining room at Barium, as the chances are we would have eaten up food, table cloth and maybe the tables, if we had to make the trip all the way home without something to eat along the way. This is the first time we have ever had this sort of attention. On our camping trips heretofore, we have gone uml twelve o'clock came, and then stopped and ate a lunch; that is going. On the way back we would not have anything to eat, so we would have to buy crackers, cakes bananas, water- melons, or whatever could be had ir quanity, and we sometimes left a famine behind us.

See ee alking about) that for the month, that Granville made the biggest advance, faoving up to second place in the Table. It is easy to understand why this is so. It is on account of the Aux- jliaries in Granville Presbytery. They put on a special drive for the Orphanage and the results of their drive has been sent in. We understand that at least one other Presbytery is still putting on a drive and when the returns are sent to Barium, it will be no doubt make a very decided change in their standing. On the revised budget of ten cents per member per month, we are due at this time frojn each of the Presbyteries what equivalent to fifty cents per member. We find that Winston-Salem lacked only three and a quarter cents of reaching this amount, and three of the Presbyteries have passed the half- way point. Then we find Concord and Meck- lenburg tied at a little less than one- third of the fifty cents, and Orange and Albemarle tied just a half a cent behind Concord and Méecklen- burg. Wilmington has sent in just a little more than one Jnonth’s esti- mate, and Fayetteville a little less is than one month. Our SckKool has started up. and the machinery of the Orphanage seems to be moving along in fine shape. This is another year that we can raise thankful voices to the Almighty for the wonderful care we have had during the past month. Our feilds have yielded abundantly. Our health has been good, and we look forward with hope to a year of co- operation between our staff of teach- ers and workers here, with the child- ren under our care, and with that great body of our Church through- cut the Synod who provides our material needs, and to the blessings of the Father in the carrying on of this great work.

We wish we could have everyone working for a degree. Something like Ph. D., in which the applicant would have to disaover, and plan an entirely tiew procedure in doing his or her work during the year. Wouldn’t we have a_ big time working at this? Just let’s imagine a little bit. Suppose a student should take stock of the knowledge to be gained from the teacher, from the Library, and from the numerous contacts thas made «during the year, and work out some plan from this to get a larger benefit than ever before. Wouldn’t that add zest to the entire school year? Sup- pose a teacher, instead of making a hopeless stab at any pafrticular student that appeared slow to learn should make a careful study of that youngster and discover a way of ap- proach that would find that mind a- lert and open to the knowledge that might come to him frem that angle. can be Wouldn’t that truly be an advew ture worth going through many monotonous days to arrive at.

Now what did I say? farm? Not on you life, anything clse but. The farm that exists at} Barium today is a new farm- -made of the ambition of the new because boys and the boss, Mr. Cavin. New fields are being cleared and old ones are being plowed. Every- body is steady at it, looking forward to the fruits that are going to come from their labor. Already the signs of corn harvest are beginning to appear—tassles and corn silks. You know it is said that it is refreshing to tre plowman te look back over his day’s work to see what he had accomplished. So it is with the boys it is gratifying to see the results of their labor. At the present time, the biggest job we have on hand is plowing a thirty-acre field. Now that sounds like a pretty big job, but J. B. Lee and Julian West don’t think These boys enjoy plowing so much, they say, that thirty acres slip by before they have time to think a- bout it. Both of these fellows are Davidson men and when the school so. session is over, they’re so famished | for some clean hard work they plow all day and never think anything about it, and cry for more at night. A good way to put it is: “Jule loves his mules”. He’s so goofy over Mag and Beaulah, he talks about them in his sleep. You don’t believe it, but I happen to know—I room with him. So much for Jule and_ his mules. I mentioned above clearing new-grounds, but I didn’t go into details, nor will I here, no more than just to give you the “ifs and ands”. You know clearing new- grounds is lets of fun if you learn to enjoy it. The boys say they hate this job worse than any other but this would be hard to believe if you were to slip up on them sometime. Were you to do this, you would no- tice that they have a lively conver- that we are sstion going, laughing and carrying | on and having a good time in gen- eral. When they finish up a piece of woods, they’re glad but not just because they've finished, but because they can look back and see they’ve done. Who was that guy that said it that was refreshing for the plowman to look back over his day’s work. Now this would hardly be news if I didn’t say something about this good looking campus of ours. Every- thing is green and beautiful. And, Mr. Cavin always takes pleasure in making it more beautiful. And why not, he and the boys are the ones who have made it so. This good old campus has come to be and protected by them as if it were a jewel, something to be proud of and something well worth taking care of. Of course, there is plenty of hard work to be done on it, such as cutting grass, cutting dead limbs out of trees, and cleaning out the ditches. This work is being done at the present time by Sam Bernarde, Ben Forte, Herman Clark, Clifton Vann and George Savage. How these boys love to work. Another thing here at new football field. We're always writing and talking about this new field and we’re not ashamed of it, no, not by a long shot. If you had seen the location before the field was built, you would have said to construct a field in such a_ place would be an _ impossibility; why there was nothing but gullies, and hog houses. But the farmers got right in there with pic shovels, and drag pans and cleared that place out and put a football field there. Eb would say: “I ax you, who could’a done dat but de farm- ers?” Now, we're not bragging, but just giving you the facts. That place was changed from a mud-hole into something beautifuk You should see it now with its strong wire fence and slender maples that keep trespassers off its beautiful flowers and shrubbery. And the grass’ on the field looks like a velvet carpet that was intended for kings to lounge on, not football players. That's just how beautitul it is. Since it is customary, it would hardly seem fair to send this news | to press without putting in a crack from Ab and Eb. So, while we're telling about the football field, I might as well tell about that crack. Here ’tis. It was made while they were working on the football field{ concerning the hog pen which is just across the way. Eb: “What about dat over dere, Ab?” Ab: (in a deep bass voice) “Why man, dat’s de rootin’ section.” Speaking of having a good time, you should see that “ditch-bank” gang sometime, egpecially after they’ve mown through a nest of bumblebees. Of course, they don’t look any too good but they’ve had a good time fighting the bees any hog pen way. Albert Cumbie, Leste. King, and Charlie Sears head this gang. Their skin is like leather and their parts are made of scrap-iron. Three cf the toughest birds on the lot. The bees made them that way. But they have lots of fun. You should see Cumbie roll in the peas when a bee whai | cherished Barium | that we’re mighty proud of is our| gets after him. It’s worth a work just to see that. And Charlie Sears—why sometimes vets after Charlie bigger than he is and the only way he can get away is to crawl into a hole and pull the hole in after him. day’s little a bee Well, that’s about all the news for this time but if there’s anything you'd like to know about farming or building football fields why just let us know and if you'll furnish a stamped envelope we'll be glad to supply the information. Just ask Mr. Cavin anything about farming and he’ll be glad to tell you. I suppose this is about the best place I can find to stop, gotta go to work because two carloads of hay have just arrived from the other farm and have to be unloaded. So until next month. We'll be seeing you——-A, J. Potter. — P. 0. H. — TO THE LITTLE CHILD. O little child, with eyes of blue and silken hair, time is yours and the world will be yours when we are gone! It is your playhouse now; it will be your workshop then, with the whirr of its mighty machinery drowning many a pretty song of the heart. A thousand dreams will have vanished, and the tears which you shed over trifles now will be heavy with sorrow then. We are building for you, making highways for your eager feet but you will wonder why we made so many mistakes, why we put up with so many things which you had to put away, why we made life so hard for some, so easy for others, why we let great wrongs walk in the middle of the road and kept the hope of the multitude ‘wringing its hands by the wayside, why with two eyes we could be so blind, why with electric Hghts we! saw through a glass so darkly. When your laughing eyes are dim with age may they see a better world nearer the golden dream.

Phyllis Morgan, Lucy Bryant, with Herman Beshears are the three who go from here. Lois Mott went on her vacation Friday and Thelma Johnston is ex- pected back from her vacation today. Mrs. Lackey has had one week of her vacation at home and the In- firmary family exled on her as often as possible. Daisy Cayton was not able to go with them to Lake Lure so she is spending a week with us. Daisy is a fine little worker and we are a- fraid that when all the girls are gone we will have to call on her for help. We have only patients this week. Miller Blue here a mumps suspect and A. G. Norris has poison oak. two is Mr. Thomas and Mr. Clarke are bringing in lcts of fruit and vege- tables but none of it is wasted. What is not eaten goes into jars to be used this winter. Bobby Starling is with us yet. When we got too busy to care for him we borrow Sally Farmer, who is delighted to care for him and he is glad to have her care for him. Bertha McKee is staying with us for a while and we find her a fine help while the others are enjoying their vacation. DELIVERANCE CERTAIN A ship lies on the rocks and the waves break over it. A boat starting cut from the shore to rescue _ it plows its way through the waves as they break upon it. Those who art on the deck of the waiting ship be: lieve that there are strchg hearts and true coming for their rescue. The fact that these men have enter- ed upon a hazardous endeavor save them witnesses to their good- will. But presen‘ly an _ engulfing wave greater tha: the rest over the boat and seems to whelm it in destruction. Those who are k@king for deliverange veil their faces in horror. Their rescuers gone, and their hope is lost. They look again, and lo! Like a bird shak- ing the spray from its wings the boat emerges from the deep. It is a life-boat and will not sink. So this ruined world looked and saw the Deliverer coming. The fact that he was dispised and abused, that he knew sorrow and sweat as were great drops of blood, that he wore a crown of thorns, and was crusi- fied bore witness to the strength of his good-will and to the boundless- ness of his love. But when death had done its work, when all the powers of earth and hell had lea- gued against him and shut him in ithe grave from which one had never been known to escape and from that complete entombment he came forth alive, conquering an to con- quer, then did the world revive its hope and come to know that the De- liverer was almighted to save.—Sel- ected. 4 to Easy Street.—Ex.

It really doesn’t seem so We hardly write the news one time before they are asking for it again. many things have happened in the last month that were interest- ing to us but we could hardly fix esting to others. Since we last wrote you our girls have returned from eir va cations: Iris Spencer from a visit ti her people in Drexel, N. C., Leon East, who went to see her sister i Winston-Salem, and Myrtle Johasor who went to visit her people it Hickory. Several of the babies have com back. Juanita and Herbert McMas- ters, who visited their grandparent in Greensbore; Janie and Stanley who spent their two weeks with their mother in Winston-Sal- em; Rachel Mills, from a visit t ter mother in Norwood; Ray Lewis who went to see his people in Rock; Mount; and Amos Hardy spent twc weeks in Mooresville with som friends. They liked him so well that they came to get him for another visit. This morning, our campers left for We had one big girl, Mz nedy from here to go with them We miss them a lot, especially at meal time in the big dining room. It doesn’t seem natural, it’s so quiet. We wish them all a good time, no punctures, blowouts, wmosquitoe bites, ete. Many changes have been made in eur work since they left. We babies feel sort of lost over here with our big girls gone, because two are helping out on the Laundry and on is helping at the kitchen. But Miss Woods kind enough to let her girls come over and help out. We are still enjoying water-me! cns, cantaloupes, peaches. The thrill of seeing Mr. Thomas stopping at our back door has not worn out be- cause we know that he has brought something good. We were glad to see one of the teachers, Miss Greene, her mother and sister on the campus last week and hope that she will soon be back. August fifteenth, Lake Lure. Lee Ken- is And that laughing, cheery fellow who is always looking for something to please him. He finds it right regular. Because he is expecting it. If he walked down a street full of ‘rouble and unhappiness and discon- ent he would pass them all by to nd something pleasant, something uceossful, something to make him appy. Because that is the wave length turned to —happiness. Of course we ean’t all go through hunting for good times, for oud laughs. But we can all keep our yes and ears peeled for the pleas- anter things, and get into tune with : little more happiness. We know that the fellow who carries a chip m his shoulder is going to get it knocked off in no gentle manner, hile the friendly man or woman rcts the smiles instead of the jolts. know, too, that the snarl cur kicks where the friendly pup ’ pats and bones. That’s life We give people what expect, what they look for. You do it yourself, every day. If a lek is pleasant and smiling—you is it Ww y mile back. If he is impatient, surly cu bark back at him. ihtre is nothing that jrritatds ute as much as being irritated, ith ng that worries quite as much being worried, and nothing that 2 a urns up quite as much as_ being mad, The more annoyed we are, the nore annoyed we get.

All of which is to say that no natter how things are breaking for us they will look a little better if we start looking for things to pick up, if we determine to find a few pleasant things and create a little happiness. One of the best ways to laueh at trouble is to start smiling right now. Pleasant thoughts are ‘the worst enemies of worry and d couragement. The man who kids himself along is the man who does tot let hard luck lick him. If you don’t believe that--try it for yourself, for just one day. Start out with an appreciation of the good things around you, then set your mind on what you would like, put up a nice big smile and start look- ing for things to start breaking right. If they break wrong, cuss a little if it helps but keep looking for them to break right—and queeze every drop of happiness you can out of the day.

THE SIN WHICH DOTH AND LET US RUN WITH THAT IS SET ENDURED THE THRONE OF GOD.” Faces One Of Hardest Schedule in History By Alwyn Morrison As Mr. Joe Johnston often says, “It won’t be long now.” In another five days footballs and moleskins will be taken from the moth-balls and again the old “pig-skins” will be Field at Barium Springs or probably on the old gridiron where the prac- tice sessions will take place. Facing one of the hardest sched- ules in history, Ath§etic Director MeMillan’s Barium Springs Golden Tornado football squad will report next Monday, August 29th, twenty days before the opening game, for their initial workout of the 1932 sea- son. The Barium Athletic head will ar- rive at Barium within the next day or so and will immediately get the ‘equipment in shape for the opening practice sessions. A squad of fully twenty or twenty - five players are expected to report for initial work- outs. Only a few veterans or lettermen will report to Coach McMillan next Monday. Six of last year’s stellar performers graduated will not return and Coach McMillan faces the prob- 1 Jn of turning out a formidable elev- en to play a full eleven game sched- ule. His main hope in the backfield re- gardless of new material, will be | Lister King, big fullback on last | year’s brilliant eleven which won eight games, playing a scoreless tie with three others and losing none. King, who was captain of the 1931! eleven, made many a_ sensational | dash last year and saved his team from severl defeats. The backfield will undoubtedly be built around King. Purdy, 1932 captain and cen- ter, Shaffer and Vann guards, and Edwards and Freeman, tackles, line- men, and Hannah, Oliver, Fowler, other backs, will form the nucleus for the 1932 team. Other players who wll be on var- sity squad: Savage, end; Lackey, guard; Clark, center; Spencer, guard; Johnston, Archer tackle Forte, tackle; Wood, back; Blue, quarter back; Lyons, back; Reavis, back. Even the work of some of these men, however, may be shadowed by players reporting this year, from the reserve squad and the 125-pound squad. The Barium’ mentor, however, will know more about his squad when it reports next week for prelimi- nary drills. Coach McMillan will be assisted by Coaches Buck Jackins and R. G. Calhoun. Probably several other players and coaches of note will help the Barium coaches in whipping together a winning com- bination of pigskin chasers for the the 1932 season.

The Barium coaches should expe- rience little trouble in moulding to- gether a winning cjnbination as the system used at Barium in deve- loping football players is unique in itself and probably the only one of its particular kind in the country. One speaks of the famous‘Wallace Wade system,”the “Warner system,” the noted “Zupke” system and the world famous “Notre Dame” system. ‘But one seldom hears of the “Barium Springs” system, one of the most unique in the entire country. At Barium they begin early to form football players out of the children at the hcfJne, and what’s more, they take to football like ducks do to water. At Barium they bigin with the 60 pound team, the 100 pound team, thel115 pound team, which, by the way now holds the National Midget Championship for the 1930 season as well as the 1931 season and they will no doubt be out gun- ning for the 1932 championship. Then comes the 125 pound team, then the reserve team and_ finally the varsity eleven. One can easily see from this why Barium develops winning fcotball teams, year in and year out. The reason Mr. Joe John- ston puts a great deal of emphasis on football is because he believes it is a great health builder as well as a mental one. It goes to make strong and healthy children and keeps the sickness away from the orphanage. The Barium eleven will open the football season of 1932 at Greens- boro September 17th, against the Class “B” championsh'p eleven of Reidsville. Eleven games are on the | Barium card, five at home and six |on the road. The season will end at Winston-Salem, November 26. The Barium team will play three Class “A” teams, five class “B” teams jand two orphanage elevens and one | prep team, a heavy schedule for any high school team. The following is the complete 1932 schedule: Sept. 17—Reidsville at GreensttoroF Sept. 24—Bejnont Abbey at Bel- mont. Sept. 30—Lexington at Lexing- ton. Oct. 7—Concord at Barium.

We submit the following with re- ference to our Orphan’s Home at Barium Springs: We have studied the situation at Barium Springs in a most patient and sympathetic manner. In_ sub- mitting the following observations and suggestions we want it to be understood that we in no wise desire to trespass upon the rights and duties of the management nor seek to find fault, exaggerate conditions or to even mildly criticize anyone. We find that the explanation of the situation is the fact that,.in the midst of the many trying conditions of the past few years, the churches have unwittingly neglected these children. The failure of the churches to give substantial financial support has resulted in the following conditions: Cash donations have fallen off seriously. The deficiency of the Orphanage have lost the third.

October, 1932 BARIUM MESSENGER Page Three LETTERS OF INTEREST AN INTERESTING COINCIDENCE Mt. Ulla, N. C. Sept. 8, 1932. Mr. Jos. B. Johnston, Supt., Barium Springs Orphans’ Home. Dear Mr. Johnston: Permit a few reminscences, perhaps of some interest to you, from one just past his four score and 3 year.—— —The sad death, sometime ago, of Professor J. E. Watts of Texas, calls vividly to mind the following:-— I think it was in the Spring of 1860. When Concord Presbytery met at Mallard Creek, Mecklenburg Co. N. C., my father, J. F. Goodman, an Elder in Back Creek Church, representing, I think, both Back Creek and Prospect Churches, carried calls for Rev. W. B. Watts as Pastor of said churches, who promptly became the joint Pastor of both——— Rev. R. Z. Johnston, your father, and Mr. Watts were both licensed to the full work of the Ministry at said meeting of Presbytery; Mr. Johnston going direct to Lincolnton, N. C., I think. It so came to pass that each of said ministers had a son to become a Superintendent of an Orphans’ Home, Watts of Texas—Okiahoma,, and you of Barium Springs, N. C., truly somewhat an interesting coincidence: while one head has been taken the other is left. May your brow continue to abide in the strength for many yeams, and heavens blessings attend you and your labors. How time flies! And lo! What wonders God hath wrought since 1860! John K. Goodman.

My Dear Sir:- For the past two months I have had charge of Johnnie Burgin, Doris Smith, and Flora Mae Smith at Howell’s Camp in Windham New York and wish to say these few words in praise of their behavior. Their conduct is faultless and they are loved by all the people and children they have come in contact with. We all feel very sorry to see them leave us so soon. Our kindest wishes for their future are with them. God bess them. Very sincerely, Antoinette Sanders, Supervisor. WE LIKE THIS IDEA VERY MUCH Salisbury, N. C. Sept. 20, 1932 Mr. Jos. B. Johnston Barium Springs, N. C. Dear Mr. Johnston: A few Sundays ago J placed a box in the class room for our Brother- hood Bible Class and the additional $9.57 I am including in this check is the result. This box was for special contributions to your organization in addition to our regular monthly gift. I am very well pleased with this and hope to have an additional amount for you from time to time in the future. Will say that this was discussed and agreed upon before the box was placed in the room, therefore they are all entitled to credit. Sincerely, Frank Gwin, Sec.

We enjoyed it very much and thank the people for letting us in. After we camo back from the circus, we drew pictures of the things we saw in it. We also have been acting the cir- cus stunts. Just before school started, Mama Girt went home for a few days to be with her son and sister. We miss- ed her very much but we enjoyed having Miss Beattie Lackey for our matron while she was away. First Myrtle left us and went to the Womans Building, then Mary Lee and last of all Leone left Satur- day. They are missed very much but we hope they will enjoy their new work. We are glad to have Philippina Salvaggio with us. Miss Foust has been letting Betty John come over every evening and play with us and we are real glad to have her as a play mate. All of us are sorry to see the watermelons, peaches and grapes disappear but we are very grateful to Mr. Thomas and Mr. Clark who kept us well supplied when we don’t see how they did it during the hot summer days. It is so hot and dusty we would like to see some rain although we do like to play in the sand. Mabe! Billings received a and many nice presents from father on her sixth birthday. The Weddington children had a visit her short visit from their mother last week. Ruth Spencer, one of the old girls, spent a week with us not long ago.

Lees House Cats ile Long, former Barium girls are on the campus now and we were glad to have them visit us. Mrs. Holton's sister and her son and his wife and their two children and another daughter-in-law came to see her and we were glad to have her bring them to see us. One of our little girls, Rachel Mills, broke her arm three weeks ago and the other day Miss Doggett told her that she would have to get her another baby doll because her arm was almost well and = she would have to quit using it for a baby doll. The day school opened we were glad to see Miss Carson ride up. We have missed her since school let out last year, but we are glad to have Mrs. Massey for our teacher. Charles and Mae Allan Barrett’s grandmother, Mrs. Love sent them both a pretty chair and we enjoy sitting in them almost as much as they do. When the children came back from New York, Mr. Gould sent the Baby Cottage some china dogs, cats and soldiers to put our tooth-brushes in and that makes us real eager china cups and we certainly thank him for them all.

In a pretty anc impressive ceremo ny, which was s¢ lemnized today, at high noon, at the First Associate Re- formed Presbyte ian church, Miss Rachel Lee Moor: became the bride of Mr. Edwin Kenneth Kyles. The ceremony, which was private, was performed by Rev. J. H. Pressly, D. D., pastor of the church. The ring service was used. The church wa; most attractive in its decorations, which were sugges- tive of the autumn season. The entir® pulpit was banked in ferns, palms and standing cypress, intermingled with sprays of handsome pink and yellow dahlias. At either side were ivory baskets filled with autumn flowers in the same shades Ivory ta- pers burned in seven - branched ca- thedral candiesticks and completed the setting for the nuptial event. As the wedding guests were as- sembling, Miss Louise Ketchie, whe presided at the organ, played Salut d@’Amour by Elgar and Andantino by Lemare. Miss Ketchie wore a_ dress of orange and brown crepe with brown kid shoes and small orange hat trimmed in brown, and had a shoulder bouquet of Talisman roses and bronze snapdragon. “The Brida! Chorus” from Lehengrin by Wagner was used as the processional. “The Sweetest Story F-er Told” was play- ed during the nm. rriage service and Mendelssohn’s W<iding March form- ed the recessiona: As the strains of the wedding march were soun ed, the ushers, Mr. Harold Kyles, of Troutman, brother the groom, and ‘ir. Edgar Daniels, entered. They wre followed by the maid-of-honor, Mfss Lois McCall who was attracti:. in a dress of dark brown crepe charm trimmed in rose blush crepe, with large brown hat. She carried an arm bouquet of Talis- man roses and delphinium. The ring was carried in a lovely cream rose by ttle Miss Susie Ste- venson, niece of the bride. She was daintily dressed in yellow flat crepe. The groom was attended by _ his brother, Mr. Marvin Kyles, of Char- lotte, who served as best man. The bride entered with her moth- er, Mrs. Nola Sharpe Moore, who gave her in marriage. The _ bride, who.is an attragtive brunette, was ‘ecomingly dressed in golden brown Granada crepe, with brown shoes and small brown velvet turban, which was worn with a veil, Her dress was a stylish model and was made with eape effect. She carried a lovely arm bouquet of Joanna Hill roses and Swansonia, Mrs. Moore wore a dress of dark blue triple crepe with matching hat and shoes and had a shoulder bouquet ef gardenias. Mr. and Mrs. Kyles left immedi- ately after the ceremony for a motor trip to Washington, D. C., going through the Shenandoah Valley. Up- on their return, they will be at home Thought--Provoking Themes WHY I STUDY THE BIBLE In the Westminster Shorter Catechism we are told that “The Word of God which 4s contained in the Scriptures in the Old and New Testa- ments is the only rule to direct us how we may gkfify and enjoy Him.” Again, “The scriptures principally teach what man is to believe concern- ing God, and what duty God requires of man.” “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life.” (John 5:39). These, of course a're for those who are already Christians, rather than for unbelievers. But there are other reasons. The chief reasdn, most likely, for most of us who have been raised in Christian surroundings, is habit. Since —** we have been taught the Bible; therefore, we study it involun- tarily. The third important reason may be called the “knowledge reason.” Webster defines the Bible as “the Book of Books by pfeemintnce.” It con- tains sixty-six “books” written by thirty-six men, who were entirely dif- ferent in character, in reactions, and in the walks of life. These men lived far apart and wrote on different subjects, yet the same theme and inspira- ation is in all. Christians and non-Christians read the Bible for the law poetry, history, folklore, romance and tragedy found in it. : Even unbelievers will admit that Christ’s principles applied to the problems of the world, such as the economic depression and the need off disarmament, would solve them quickly. In life we may say “Thy Word is lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” (Psalms 119:105.) We ieel that David was right when he said, “Thy word have I laid up in my heart that I might not sin against thee.” (Psalms 119:105). —By Mildred Thomas =e WHY I STUDY THE BIBLE It is difficult to analyze just why I dd study the Bible, but these are perhaps the most outstanding reasons. In the first place, I have been adsociated with Bible readers all of my life and I would miss it should I have to give it up. Then, too, in order to be our best we must have a “perfect model” to follow. Only in the Bible do we find the model of a perfect life. , When we study the needs of the world, in the light of principles given in — gospel, we are a that only here can they be solved Jesus said, “Search the Scriptures for in them ye ‘think ye av - nal life.” (John 5:39). The Bible is the story of a wel aot man race, and it is here that we find the abundant life. AM Scripture inspired by God is profitable for reproof, for tion, for correction, which is righteouness.” : “And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make yc free.” —By Marguerite Gaskill instruc- MT TT Howard Lottie Walker Lottie Walker, Sept. 23,—Hello, v2 Yottage, Sept. 28,— One|,, ) Howard Cottage, Sept ©\Folks!

Johnston, superintendent of Barium remarked to one of the girls here, “When you want to get married, the young man must get my consent.” He had no idea she would remember this, and did not expect her to. However, a short time ago a young man presented himself at Mr. John- ston’s home and told him that he wanted to marry Miss —_—-, “That's fine,” said Mr. Johnston, “I congratulate you; you are fortu- nate.” “But,” said the young man with a puzzled-like expression, “she said I would have to get your con- sent.” It was then that Mr. Johnston re- called his remark six years previous, and readily gave his consent and approval of the marriage.

Pembroke, 1 quilt Scoreboard Is New Sports Publication REPLACES FORMER PAMPHLET ISSUED ON SCHEDULES— FULL REPORT OF BARIUM GAMES GIVEN Readers of The Messenger will no longer see lengthy accounts of the Barium football games in this pub- lication, for a new periodical has made its appearance at the Orphan- age, and is weekly distributed to in- dividuals and concerns. It is de- vitted entirely to athletics, and is known as the “Scoreboard.” The Scoreboard replaces the folder pamphlet which has been issued by Barium for a number of years. The change has enabled the management to devote more space to writeups of the varsity games and to give con- sideration of other teams which the Orphanage meets. The old pamph- let merely contained the schedules of most of the colleges, high schools, prep institutions and orphanages of the state, plus the scores of each contest. Editor-in-chief of The Scoreboard is Jos. B. Johnston, superintendent of Barium, and Ernest Milton, new treasurer, is assistant editor. Mem- bers of the athletic staff assist in gathering and writing the news. The masthead says that this three- column paper is Ustributed every Tuesday, mostly by hand. It was thought at Barium that by iysuing this publication space would be available in The Messenger for cther news of a more general nature. The Messenger will each month carry a brief resume of the games played during the four preceding weeks, which will be sufficient to give readers an idea of the progress made in athletics. The Scoreboard has _ been most favorably received throughout the state, and generous comments of those interested in the paper has been assurance that it is a worth- while project. . 0.

Con- stant line plur}zing netted Barium a touchdown two minutes before the game ended, King smashing one yard to cross. Barium frequently threatened. First downs were: Reidsville 0; Barium 12. Belmont Abbey, an ancient foe of Barium, next fell before the attack of the Orphanage. This victory was won early in the game when Morris Freeman blocked a_ punt from the toe of Feldman, picked it up and traveled 26 yards to cross the last marker. Several fumbles gave Bel- mont plenty of opportunities to tie or win the contest, but the Barium line tightened and the backfield played alertly to offset the chances. First downs in this game were Bel- mont eight, three of which were on perfalty, and Barium four, one of them on penalty. Lexington high scored early in the initial bracket to defeat Barium last week. King made a poor 22-yard punt to give Lexington the ball on Barium’s 37-yard line. A line smash for two yards plus a 15-yard penalty cn Barium put the ball on the 20- yard strip, when Cecil maneuvered around in the backfield and then shot a nice pass to Leonard over the goal line with no Barium player close by. Barium had a sole chance to score after blocking a punt, but Lexington was too powerful. First downs were Lexington, three, two on nalt and Barium one. ; ei v ea l aC 2 So r b i e = Sa n i t 1 { ' fx 17235 Copies of This bh Cy | Issue Mailed to Pres- | ~ SA | byterians In N.

BARIUM SPRINGS, NORTH CAROLINA, NOVEMBER 1932 Thanksgiving Goal Set at $5 Many Churches Delinquent in Regular Support of Orphanage Checkup Shows That 257 of 537 Churches in This Synod Are Shy REMEDY PLANNED Letters Are Being Written to Many Church Officers Over 48% of the organized rres- byterian Churches of the Synod of North Carolina have not contributed a cent during the 1932-1933 church fiscal year toward the maintenance and support of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs, according to a checkup of this year’s receipts which has been made in the treasurer’s office here. The last minutes of the General Assembly listed 535 organized churches in the North Carolina Synod, which did not include the chapels and missions under the supervision of this synod. Of the 535, 257 have failed to respond in gifts to Barium, which means that 278 have made some contsibution since April 30th., when the fiscal year of the church ended. All pastors of these delinquent ehurches have been written by the authorities at Barium in an endeavor to enlist their support of the orphan- age which is ostensibly maintained by the entire synod. It has been pointed out to the pastors that even a small monthly response by each of the 257 churches would go a long way toward current expenses and re- ducing the debt of the institution. It was also found in the checkup that the church, Sunday school and auxiliary, of 32 of the churches con- tributed regularly to Barium, which places them in a unique class. Thes? are the three main sources of incom? at Barium, and the initial survey ot the situation will be followed up dur- ing the next few weeks with a more complete and minute tajoulation of what each church is doing. Authorities here also plan to en- list the assistance of the Men’s Bible classes. Only a smaiil number of these organized classes make reg- ular gilts to Barium, and it is be- lieved by Jos. B. Johnston, superin- tendent of the orphanage, that if every church organization made a united drive for Barium that the debt would soon be wiped out, and that Barium could proceed furthe> along progressive lines. At the present time all officials at Barium Springs are lending their energies toward making the ap- (Continued on page four) Homesickness Is Big Problem At Barium Jos. B. Johnston, superintendent of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs, has @ problem of homesickness on his hands that is becoming acute. It is not the ordi- nary version of forlorn feelings that faces the superintendent, but it is the children whom he has placed in ideal homes who get homesick for Barium—and come back to the Orphanage. Recently Mr. Johnston received a telephone call from the passenger agent at Statesville telling him that a little girl was in the station and wanted to come to Barium. He went in to investigate and found a 13- year old girl who was placed in a lovely home @ year ago, but who had come back, she said, “ ‘cause 1 was homesick.” Before placing any child in a home, the latter is thoroughly in- vestigated by the case worker of the Orphanage, and unless a happy life will surround the girl, that home is refused. The home in which this girl lived was thoroughly investigated and everything was done for the child. A month ago the girl’s foster mother had plead with tears in her eyes to be given another chance to make the child happy. Mr. Johnston attributed her home- sickness to the fact that she spent her vacation on the Barium campus this summer. And although the Orphanage is limiting itself in numbers, they made a place for thi homesick girl. She is contented and happy today. Synodical Held Annual Conclave During October Myers Park Church, in Charlotte, Scene of In- terested and Largely Attended Meetings The Woman’s Auxiliary of the Synod of North Carolina met in My- ers Park Presbyterian church at Charlotte, N. C. Oct. 25-27. The tot- al registered attendance was 102 delegates and officers, and 486 vis- itors, though the number of persons at the exercises was at least 1,000. This was the 20th meeting and the synodical celebrated the anniver- sary of the organization at Montreat in 1912 by a beautiful and appro- priate pageant. A message from the Synod was delivered by Rev. C. R. Nesbit, D. D. of Charlotte who had been ap- pointed by the Synod. He brought greetings and urged the synodical to cooperate with the synod in the State-wide evangelistic campaign of 1933, which the women agreed to do. { The Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs was presented in a report showing that the roll there had Regenis Decide Upon This Amount Thanksgiving Check The first Thanksgiving check for the Presbyterian Orphan’s Home has been re- ceived at this Institution and is the forerunner of hundreds of others expected to arrive at Barium Springs after Nov- ember 24th., when 75.000 Presbyterians of this state will rally to the support of the North Carolina Synod’s_ Or- phanage.

We are apt to forget the fact that there are o of individuals and institutions all the time. We are, in a sense, voting on Foreign Missions, and Home Missions, and all the dif- ferent activities in the Church, every time we are given an op- portunity to help. We either vote against it by our failure to help, or vote for it with our help. There are times in the year when our vote counts for more. When we have a “General Elec- tion Day” as it were; and Thanksgiving is the time that has the most bearing on our Orphanage work. You will cast your ballot during the next few weeks, on your Orphanage work. It is not voting for or against any officer, or any job-holder, but is a vote for or against some little helpless child whose only chance may rest in the institu- tion. During the past 12 months, Barium Springs has had to re- duce the number of children under its care from 360 to 317. The vote of the Church as ex- pressed through its contribu- tions, has said that this num- ber must be further reduced to 250.

The former’s report was largely a review of the present phy- sical status of the institution, fol- lowing the execution of a number of economic measures that were neces- sary in the face of a greatly depleted budget. ' : The treasurer’s report showed that the debt of Barium had not in- creased over what it was one year ago, which information the regents ielt would be a great incentive to larger and increased giving during the approaching ‘Thanksgiving _ per- 1od.

DIFFICULT TO WRITE Not ali letters that come to our desk are hard to answer. There are letters from our old boys and girls that are always a delight to answer. There are sometimes letters of cri- ticism which we are glad to answer, because it may straighten up a mis- understanding. Sometimes a letter from an outright enemy is not hard to answer. It clears the atmosphere and makes you feel friendly toward the person for giving you an oppor- tunity to rel’eve your mind. There are not many letters like this, how- ever. The very hardest letters to answer are those from our very best friends who are wanting to do things to help us in an impractical way. We have had two instances like that today. The first was from an Auxiliary that did not have any money to spend but wanted to do something with their fingers in the way of making clothes. They wanted to make clothes for the small children—the Baby Cottage. We immediately look- ed into this matter. We found that the Baby Cottage has clothes that it can make out with for at least a year, and we find that the other small children are pretty well outfit- ted with play suits, made from khaki and denim that is sent in very liber- ally every Thanksgiving. We find that when the garments for the larg- er children are made in quantities like this Auxiliary wanted to do, that they, more often than otherwise, have to be worked over before be- ing available for any particular girl. Even then, we find that with the money the Auxiliary would have tc spend to get the material to make these garments, that we could more often have done a better job by buy- ing the material wholesale and mak- ing the garments here. It’s a mighty hard letter to write to a loyal set of women, telling them that there just does not seem to be any way to make garments to really help us, in the long run; that even though they haven’t much money, if they will just send us the little bit they would use for buying the mater- ial for making the garments that they contemplate, we could make just a little bit of money go further than we could the garments toward actually helping to maintain the In- stitution. In writing a letter like this, we are apt to offend; we are apt to make people think that we belittle their efforts to help us. This is not the case; we try to be strictly honest with them, and not to have them do something unnecessary. Now, the other letter that is hard to write jumps to the other extreme. When our clothing lists are sent out, we try to make them uniform. Not asking for “uniform”, but for gar- ments that are of the same general quality. It is very necessary to do this, for a number of reasons.. When these lists reach the various people or societies that clothe indivi- dua! children here, they sometimes think that the list is too meagre, and they add to it. Every time they do add to it, it brings about compli- cations. We had two clothing boxes received today. In both of these boxes was a silk dress and silk stock- ings—beautiful things! Thtngs to just make a girl clap her hands in rapture. Things that would make that girl look like a million dollars! And the temptation to us was to let them go on, and we would probably have done that very thing, had it not been for very bitter experiences in the past. We just had to bundle those two dresses up, and send them back to the people, writing them our reasons. These letters were not easy to write. We knew that those dresses had been bought with the very best intentions—a desire to make happy the girls for whom they were intend- ed. The purchase of those dresses, no doubt entailed sacrifice. It meant dcing without something for them- selves in the sender, but if they had been delivered, they would have done nothing but bring harm to Bar- ium. Barium has been most sever- ely criticised for the clothing that some of the children wear. People have visited Barium and have seen dresses that were not silk, but were considered entirely too fine for our use here. There is one very classic illustra- tion with which most of you are no doubt already familiar in which two little girls received very fine dresses. The matron saved these dresses for them to use on their vacation. They appeared in their home church in these dresses, and caused such a sen- sation that that church sent a dele- gation to Barium to find out how we were spending their money. No, there is no place at Barium for silk dresses. When a person visits Bar- ium Springs and discovers silk dress- es in use here, they go back home with the feeling that every dollar of our deficit is due to that silk dress. We feel sure that everybody in the Synod sympathizes with our view on this matter, but it is mighty hard to write the generous doners of these dresses and tell them just why we can not accept them. We know what our reaction would be to a letter like that—we would ALUMNI NEWS | Editor’s Note: This column is an innovation in The Barium Messen- ger, but one which we hope will develop with a subsequent growth in length and importance. We have hundreds of children who were for- merly students at Barium and in- teresting things are always happen- ing to them, It is these items which we want and will be used in this column monthly. We are going to depend upon our readers for much of our information, so send your items to Barium. Your friends will be in- terested in what you are doing.

William L. Hudson, 1929 graduate, and better known as “Wiggie” was a visitor to Barium recently. “Wig- gie” has a good position with a fert- ilizer company at Dunn. Thad Brock, ’27, has recently been placed in charge of the Glasgow- Stewart branch office at High Point. Thad obtained his training at the Charlotte headquarters, where he had been ever since his graduation trom Davidson in 1931. John Ford, ’18, formerly of Can- ton, is now working in West Virgin- ia. He was here not long ago to visit his sister, Nealie Ford. Leona Morgan, ‘a member of last year’s eighth grade, is now working in Greensboro. How do we know that? Well; she sent the second dollar she earned to Barium. That’s how!

H-— WIN OR LOSE Barium Sprinys has a staunch sup- porter in a 12- -old lad at Trout- man, near here, and even the World Series did not disturb his thinking of Barium. At least, the following con- versation would seem to indicate it. “Do you know who won today?” asked a World Series fan. “No.” “New York,” said the querer as- tounded that this little fellow failed te know that Lou and Babe both clouted two homers in the third game of the series. “ft thought Barium did,” came back the reply. It so happened that Barium lost to Lexington High that Friday, and per- haps this advocate of Barium’s teams had been hearing of Barium’s vic- tories so consistently for the last two years that he took it as a matter of course that the Orphanage returned home with the laurels. ——P. ©. H. EXCELLENT RECORD Few elementary schcols in the state of North Carolina would equal the attendance record of the school at the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home, it is believed, for the records show that during the month of September the school of over 300 had an average attendance of 98.2%. At least, it would be extremely diffi for any high school in the state to top that of the Barium Springs High, for the latter missed a perfect record by only five-tenths of a point. The high school’s mark of 99.5% was offset by that of the grammar schoo!, 97.6%, which brought the general average down. Girls at Barium attend classes more regularly than the boys, it is shown. In the grammar school, the boys averaged 95.7%, while the girls were almost four points better with 99.6%. However, there was not much difference between the two sexes in the high school. The girls led the beys by six-tenths of a point, the former averaging 99.8%, for almost a perfect record, and the latter, 99.2%. The general average for the entire school was, boys, 96.8%, and girls, 99.7%. “ “Weli, if they don’t like what we send, we won't send anything.” That’s a very human reaction, and we just can’t afford for that to hap- pen. : Barium Springs needs every friend possible, and we can’t afford to risk offending even luke-warm friends. These friends that are so anxious to do for us, even more than we ask, are not in the luke-warm say, | class, November, 1932 Editorial Commeut On Barium Upon the occasion of the announcement that the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home was the ranking institution of 44 orphanages in the two Carolinas, and the announcement that 48 percent of the Churches of North Caro- lina Synod had not contributed to Barium this year, there was editorial comment in the papers of this state. We have access to only a limited num- ber of newspapers, and are herewith reprinting those which we have seen. It represents comment from editors who are publicly interested in all wor- thy things, and we hope that these will serve to awaken our constituency to a realization of what kind an orphanage they have at Barium, and also the responsibility that is theirs in mantaining it on an effective plane. AN EXCELLENT RECORD (From The Charlotte Observer) No better testimony could be given to the excellent management of the Barium Springs Orphanage Home under Superintendent Johnston than the rating that has been given that institution by the Duke Endowment. It is given 956 points, out of a possible 1,000, and that places it ahead of the 44 other institutions of the kind in North Carolina and South Carolina. Re- cord of that sort ought to inspire better financial recognition on part of the Presbyterians of the State who support it—or who are supposed to sup- port it. It is evident that Superintendent Johnston has been working his contributed income on the “stretch out” system. FACTS THAT SHOULD CHALLENGE (From The Salisbury Evening Post) Presbyterians ought to feel proud of their orphanage at Barium Springs and give it a whole-hearted support at all times. Not in any boastful spirit, but out of appreciation, these same Presbyterians ought to take great pride in the appraisals often times given this institution, the latest of which comes in a rating by the Duke Foundation from which the in- stitution receives some support. The Barium Springs Home was given first place among the institutions of the state, and attention is called to this for the purpose of urging that there be a strengthening of the sup- port, so that some very glaring weaknesses in the support fund and in correcting some lacks called to the attention in the appraisal from this foundation. Barium Springs has not been publicly named as the institution of highest rank, but at a recent meeting of the North Carolina Orphanage Association in Raleigh, a representative of the Duke Endowment made a public statement that the highest rating among the 44 orphanages was 956 points. That is the rating the Duke Endowment authorities notified Barium Springs officials that it had made. The only points which the institution lost were in the standard set for housing, education and health. Thirty-one points were lost in housing but Barium is but two less points than the average. In educa- tion, Barium was minus six points, though in comparison with the 14 largest orphanages it was 11 points ahead. In health this institution lost seven points, though it was five beyond the average for the lead- ing 14. Whatever one may say of this fine organization and the splendid man- agement it has a hard time now and then getting by, and right now there is accumulating a deficit. HIGH RATING FOR BARIUM (From The Statesville Daily) The Presbyterians will be delighted to know that their church orphan- age at Barium has the highest rating of any of the 44 orphanages in North and South Carolina according to the standards of rating established by the Duke Endowment. Out of a possible 1,000 points the Barium institution re- gistered 956 according to the Duke Endowment standards. The general average of the 14 largest orphanages which care for more than 151 child- ren—orphanages in the Carolinas, that is—is 817 points. The Barium orphanage, then, is 139 points above the average fixed by the rating for the 14 largest orphanages and is only 46 points short of the maximum. Just what the standards of the Duke Endowment are, what is included in the rating, is not mentioned in the brief statement of Barium’s lead. But since the Duke Endowment contributes to orphanages it is a reasonable assumption that the standards are measures of general consequence. This statement should cheer the Prebyterians as to the standing of their in- stitution and it should encourage them to more liberal contributions to its support. This orphanage has never had the support that its work should command; has never had the support that the Presbyterians of the State should give it. Right now it is in debt about $100,000—the indebtedness accruing from time to time through the years. Recently it has been neces- sary to put on a drastic curtailment program. That is a part of the neces- sity of the time. The chief cause for distress about the curtailment is the inability to take more children. The number cared for has been reduced. It disturbs to reflect that children in need of care and training, children left without the care ordinarily provided by parental support, have to be de- nied. But with all our orphanages—and there are 8-10 or more in North Carolina—there are always more calls for care, and urgent calls, than the institution can supply. The first and greatest effort the Presbyterians must make for the Bar- ium institution is to get it out of debt. When that is accomplished—and will require self-denial, sacrifice and time—they should resolve to keep it that way. Going into debt doesn’t help even so worthy an institution as an orphanage, as some millions of individuals, firms, corporations and insti- tutions have realized to their sorrow within three years. BARIUM’S HIGH RATING (From The Connie Maxwell Monthly) The Barium Messenger comes out with big head lines to announce that the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home of North Carolina has the highest rating of any of the forty-four Orphanages in the two Carolinas according to the standard set up by the Duke Endowment. This is interesting news and we are not surprised that our Barium friends have a thrill in being able to make such an announcement. It is stated that out of a possible 1,000 points Barium has a total of 956. We join her many friends in express- ing congratulation. It is no mean honor to stand at the head of a list like this. There are many excellent institutions on that list of forty-four and it is no ordinary distinction to be in the lead. In a way this is nothing very new, for everybody has had the greatest respect for the work done at this fine institution. Their noble and great-hearted leader, Mr. Jos. B. Johnston, is the individual to whom signal recognition must be accorded though of course we would not forget his many faithful associates nor the noble friends in his great constituency who have been so generous in their cooperation. A JOLT FOR THE PRESBYTERIANS : (From The Charlotte Observer) Thanksgiving Day is coming apace and surely, this year, it should be more than ever a day for the Presbyterian churches of the State to rally to the support of the Barium Springs Orphanage, for, when The Observer put it a few days ago that the Presbyterians are “supposed” to be suppcetting this institution, it made precise statement of a fact. If evidence should be asked, it could be promptly produced in the develapment that 48 per cent of the organized Presbyterian churches in the State have not given a cent to the orphanage this year. In consequence, the income for the institution has decreased $21,000 from last year’s budget. It takes a rather hard slap on the back to jolt the average Presbyterian—when money is wanted—but facts of this kind ought to bring them around to a sense of the duty they owe to one of the most useful of Presbyterian institutions. Too many of the Presbyterian congregations and individuals are too content with sitting back and marveling how Dr. Johnston, superintendent of the orphanage manages to get along on half rations and they should make up their minds to see that the coming Thanksgiving day tells a different story from the story that has been usual order. Money ought to jingle in the collection ae Presbyterian church in the State with the coming of Nov- ember . SHOULD INSPIRE GENEROUS SUPPORT (From The Salisbury Evening Post) Over 48 per cent of the organized Presbyterian churches of the synod of North Carolina have not contributed a cent during the 1932-33 church fiscal year toward the maintenance and support of the Presbyterian Or- phans’ Home at Barium Springs, according to a check-up of this year’s ~— oe oo = — in the treasurer’s office. : e last minutes of the general assembly listed 535 organized c ' in the North Carolina synod, which did not include the pao aa sions under the supervision of this synod. Of the 535, 257 have failed to respond in gifts to Barium, which means that 278 have made some con- tribution since April 30th, when the fiscal year of the church ended. All pastors of these delinquent churches have been written by the au- thorities at Barium in an endeavor to enlist their support of the orphan- age, which is ostensibly maintained by the entire synod. It has been pointed out to the pastors that even a small mo thly response of (Continued on Page Three) po of each of November, 1932 BARIUM MESSENGER Editorial Comment On Barium--Continued (Continued from Page Two) the 257 churches would go a long way toward current expense and reduc- ing the debt of the institution. Some time ago a man who visits the orphanages of the state and is fam- iliar with the work done by most of them, stated, in this office, that the Methodists with two such institutions seem to be making a better job of orphanage support than the Presbyterians are with one. These conditions prevail in the face of the fact that with the people the orphanage is the most popular of all church causes, and it is not all to- gether their fault that the Home is neglected and running behind and cut- ting down its influence for good. The cause of the Home has been held oft from the people, they are over besought to take on a great number of other and newer work and leave the more than forty year old orphanage neglected. At the present time, all officials at Barium are lending their energies toward making the coming Thanksgiving campaign a successful one. Last year, Barium received $32,000 following the Thanksgiving drive, which meant a drop of $10,000 over the year previous. The regular contributions from the churches also fell off over $11,000 last year, for a total reduc- tion of $21,000 in income, which is responsible for the present financial predicament at Barium. A high pressure campaign for a few weeks around Thanksgiving will force a good many dollars into the support fund, but that will not support the orphanage for the year, nor assure a steady average of support for the year. There are twelve months in each year and a stuffed collection once a year will not satisfy the needs of the Home. There must be a substain- ed support, a dependable support for every month in the year, and the Presbyterians of the state will never do their full duty by this institu- tion until they feed it regularly twelve months of each year, and suftic- lent to support and wipe out debts. OVERLOOKING REAL OPPORTUNITY FOR SERVICE (From The Concord Daily Tribune) Over 48 per cent of the organized Presbyterian churches of tho synod of North Carolina have not contributed a cent during the 1932-83 church fiscal year toward the maintenance and support of the Presbyterian Or- phans’ Home at Barium Springs, according to a check-up of this year’s receipts which has been made in the treasurer’s office. The last minutes of the general assembly listed 535 organized churches in the North Carolina synod, which did not include the chapels and mis- sions under the supervision of this synod. Of the 535, 257 have failed to respond in gifts to Barium, which means that 278 have made some con- tribution since April 30th, when the fiscal year of the church ended. At the present time, all officials at Barium are lending their energies toward making the coming Thanksgiving campaign a successful one. Last year, Barium received $32,000 following the Thanksgiving drive, which meant a drop of $10,000 over the year previous. The regular contributions from the churches also fell off over $11,000 last year, for a total reduc- tion of $21,000 in income, which is responsible for the present financial predicament at Barium. It is almost impossible for us to think of any auxiliary agency of the church—and we mean of every denomination—more important than its orphanages, and certainly when we think of the Presbyterian Church in North Carolina we think of Barium Springs not only as one of its most important proteges, but as one of its principal assets. Conditions have been such that the Tar Heels have been forced to retrench in their spending, but we can’t believe that her people have reached that point where such institutions as Barium Springs are to be permitted to suffer either from indifference or neglect. Those churches overlooking the work of Barium Springs are overlook- ing a real opportunity for service, ndt only to the Church but to the State and Nation. A SHAME (From The Gastonia Gazette) It ought to come as a distinct shock to the Presbyterians off North Caro- lina that they have been shamefully mistreating the Barium Springs or- phanage. Over 48 per cent of the organized Presbyterian churches of the synod of North Carolina have not contributed a cent during the 1932-1933 church fiscal year toward the maintenance and support of the Presbyterian Or- phans’ Home, according to a check up of this year’s receipts which has been made in the treasurer’s office, The last minutes of the general assembly listed 535 organized churches in the North Carolina synod which did not include the chapels and mis- sions under the supervision of this synod. Of the 535, 257 have failed to respond in gifts to Barium, which means that 278 have made some contribution since April 30th, when the fiscal year came to an end. At the present time, all officials at Barium are lending their energies toward making the approaching Thanksgiving campaign a successful one. Last year, Barium received $32,000 following the Thanksgiving drive, which meant a drop of $10,000 over the year previous. The regular contribu- tion from the church organizations also fell off over $11,000 last year, for a total reduction of $21,000 in income, which is responsible for the present financial predicament at Barium. The Presbyterians of North Carolina ought to be ashamed of themselves. You will not find any such condition prevailing among the Baptists re- garding the Thomasville Orphanage, or among the Methodist and their orphans’ hames at Winston-Salem and Raleigh. There are 257 Presbyterian churches in North Carolina which have not contributed to this most worthy cause. Imagine a Baptist church, even in the remotest corner of the State, not giving anything to the Mills Home at Thomasville. The Presbyterians of this state are too wealthy, too lib- eral for such a condition to continue. It ought to be remedied, and that right soon. There is no better time than the approaching Thanksgiving season to do their part by the orphans at Barium Springs. RESCUE DAY (From The Charlotte Observer) Thanksgiving Day is the occasion set for the Presbyterians of the State to come to the rescue of their major benevolence, which is the Barium Springs Orphanage, and the mark the board of regents has set for attain- ment is the modest sum of $50,000—modest when set against the Presby- in lively in support of a cause that should be member of the denomination. Pity so few Presbyterians take the trouble to make personal visit to the Barium Springs Orphanage, for they would there witness scenes of benevolent activity that would warm the heart. Thanksgiving should be regarded as rescue day for an orphanage which ought to be the pride of all Presbyterians. STITCH IN TIME Jos. B. Johnston, superintendent at Barium Springs, is taking every precaution this fall to avoid a rather exacting and trying test of his pow- dear to the heart of every NEW KIND OF CASE Miss Frances Steele, case worker of the Orphans’ Hume had a new kind of case to work upon when she returned to her room here from one ers of consolation.

The “stars of 1940,” those little chaps just out of rompers, had a game scheduled for the following day and there was no training table food for them. They set up a howl, not the ordinary kind that ends in a few moments, but one that contain- ed words, mingled with sniffles and tears. Those in charge of the dining room did all within their power to quiet the little fellows, and in desperation they sent for Mr. Johnston for his assistance. He rushed from his home, and just what he said to the tots was not revealed, but eventually they were quieted. It was a problem that night, almost as great as the finan-|ing table food tor cial problem all of the time at some extra money and upon having his candy for sale in better condition than the average, had placed a case of candy in her ice box. At first, Miss Steele was bewildered, and thought that someone had generous- ly given this to her, but a little chap soon presented himself at her door and she heard the story. It developed that this particular boy was making a “clean-up” on his candy sales, for his candy was al- ways firm and preference was given to it.

Garth COTTAGE NEWS BABY COTTAGE tepresentatives of the Cameron Auxiliary visited us not so long ago and brought each of us a gift of a dress or suit. We appreciate them very much and enjoy wearing them because we look very much dressed up when we have them on. Herbert McMasters enjoyed a nice visit from his clothing people from Hickory. They left all of us some candy and chewing gum. Charles Barret also had a_ visit from his clothing people. They sent him nice clothes a short time after they left and they also sent the babies some play-toys. Mabel Billings had a short visit from her father. When the High Point football team played Barium, they were accom- panied by some of the ladies of High Point, who paid us a visit before they returned. This also happened when Concord played our boys. We were glad to have Miss Dog- gett for our matron last week while Mama Girt went to town. Mrs. Grier stayed with us while Mama_ Girt went to the funeral of Mrs. Low- rance’s brother. We are very grateful to Mrs. Hill. a i‘ormer matron of Barium, who sent us a lovely picture. We enjoy looking at it when we are in the sit- ting room. Myrtle Weddington, one of our lit- tle girls, went with the party of children that Miss Greene and Miss Doggett took to Bethesda on Sunday October 16th, to give a program. Seven of us practiced almost every day for a long time before we went to Charlotte to give a program he- fore the annual Synodical meeting at the Myres Park Presbyterian Church. Seven or eight of us have the whooping cough, and when all of us get started at one time we whoop it up and make a big racket. Mama Girt was recently visited by some friends who live near her old home. They were Mrs. Purcell and her two daughters and son. She was also glad to have a chance to go to Davidson and see her son, Mur- phy. Phillipina Salvaggio had a delight- ful visit from her father not long ago. Mabel and Myrtle Weddington al- so enjoyed a short visit from their mother. The Whoopers —P. 0.

Barium Football (Continued from page one) ford and Statesville, and the knot- ted encounter was with High Point. The season’s record to date is six victories, dne tie and one defeat. Against the last five opponents, Barium has scored a total of 78 points, while the only outfit able to tally against tlle Orphanage was Mills Home, who made but one touchdown and an extra point. The season’s record shows 92 points for Barium, and 19 for the opposition. This is concrete evidence that Bar- ium has an unusually powerful de- fensive team, and their offensive prowess has noticably grown as the season progressed. At the time this is written, Barium has yet to meet Greensboro, Oxford Orphanage and Winston-Salem, and should their ex$allent performance in the last two engagements continue they should win all of the remaining trio of tussles. Concord offered stiff opposition to Barium, and the locals had to ex- tend themselves to get more than a 9 to 0 margin of victory. Barium scored a safety in the third period. Johnston broke through to block Verble’s punt, and the latter recov- ered behind his goal line as Morris Freeman tackled him Freeman scored the touchdown on a long pass of over fifty yards from Oliver. King placekicked the extra _ point. This was two minutes before the game ended. Although Barium won over States- ville, 35 to 0, the game was closer than the score indicates, and _ the Orphanage boys tallied three touch- downs in the last quarter after Statesville broke under the relent- less offensive. Two of the Barium touchdowns came on line drives of P.|35 and 67 yards, King and Oliver scoring. Archer added two six- pointers when he accepted passes for 30 and 29 yards from Oliver and Oliver added the fifth on a 27-yard off-tackle slant. King perfectly placekicked the five extra points. High Point and Barium battled to a scoreless tie in an interesting foot- ball exhibition. Both teams threat- ened twice. Barium went to High Point’s nine-yard line in the second period, and High Point was stopped on Bariug’s ftve-yard (marker in the third period. Each advanced to HOWARD We have several cases of whoop- ing cough in our cottage. One of our smaiier girls started coughing. She was very anxious to know if it was the whooping brand, and wrote the following to her mother, “Ma- ma. have I had the whooping coff? The reason 1 want to know is be- cause I am coffing a great deal.” The Baby Cottage and our cottage went to the spring recently to have supper. We lett at three o’clock, and came back at six-thirty. We played and hunted hickory nuts while Miss McGoogan, Mrs. McGirt and Miss Woods cooked supper. The whole occasion was enjoyable, especially the hot supper. Glen Lindsay’s mother brought her a cake for her birthday and Glenn invited us to help her eat it. We did not refuse. Margaret and Mildred Willis 0 SYNODS COTTAGE We played football at the Trout- man fair not long ago, and have been playing between halves of our home games on Sloan Field. One of the boys hurt his arm and had to kecp it in a sling for 18 days. All of us are getting ready for the cold weather. Miss Taylor has been measuring our feet to see what size shoes we wear. We may be small, but some of our boys sure have big feet. You’d be surprised if we told vou the sizes of the largest feet. ~—-Henry Pittman Miller Blue ——P. O. H. RUMPLE HALL Our campus has been very beauti- ful with the many colored leaves, but they are falling fast during these wintry days. Thanksgiving is just around the corner. We have so many things to be thankful for this year. We hope that many of our friends will visit us, and can see for themselves the things for which we are thankful. Bobbie Marlowe was the member from Rumple Hall, who went to Charlotte recently to give a recita- tion before the meeting of the North Carolina Synodical. Laura Smith has fully recovered from a case of mumps. P. 0. H.——- INFIRMARY If you want to know the news from the Infirmary, look in on our ten mumps patients. Eight of them are from Rumple Hall. We wonder who is waiting on the tables in the dining room. Lucy Bryant had a pleasent visit from her people from Tarboro. We were glad to have Mr. Howard and Mrs. Clark during the meeting of the negents. Mr. L. P. Guigou, of Valdese, call- ed on us on his way to a football game at Davidson.

Perhaps the most thrilling game of all was the Mills Home-Barium mix-up, when Barium won the West- ern football title by a score of 13 to 7. Mills Home took the lead when Warren slipped off left tackle and reversed his field to scamper 52 for a score. Barium’s two teuch- downs came on passes from Oliver to Morris Freeman. The first was i hurled 19 yards, and Freeman suc- cessiully evaded several tacklers to travel 32 more yards for a touch- down. The second was for 13 yards over the goal line. King kicked one extra point and missed another— the only one that he has miscued this season. Sanford high was slated for an unusually close game against Barium but the latter was clicking nicely and was almost “unstoppable” as they registered a 21 to 0 victory. After a short punt and a 15-yard penalty on Sanford, Barium had the ball on the visitor’s 20. King smashed over after four straight line drives. The second resulted from a 57-yard march, Hannc{i tallying, and Blue scored the final marker after Purdy had intercepted a pass and went 15 yards to Sanford’s 10. King had an- other perfect day at place-kicking. rr t | t | —_———>+—___,, Printed by Vocational Department, Presby- terian Orphans’ Home ee BARIUM MESSENGER PUBLISHED BY THE PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ IiOME FoR THE INFORMATION OF ITS FRIENDS VOL. X. Barium Elevens Won 27 of 34 Contests Played, Lost 6 and Tied One 125-POUNDERS BEST All Five Barium Teams Scored 560 Points to Opponents’ 95 The 1932 football season at the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home has ended, and the tabulated results list- ed below of all five of Barium’s com- petitive teams is a clear indication that the Orphanage had a success- ful fall on the gridiron. Football not only served to engender a splendid spirit of play among all of the par- ticipants, but the teams were un- usually aggressive and came off the field victorious far more times than they left defeated. Thirty-four games were played by the quintet of elevens that perform- ed under Barium colors, and 27 of the contests were won, one was tied, and only six defeats were register- ed against the Orphanage. In these 34 tilts, Barium piled up a massive total of 560 points, an average of over 16 points per game, while the opponents were able to garner but 95 tallies, for an average of almost three points per encounter. The 125-pound and 80-pound ag- gregations went through the season undefeated and unscored upon. The former played nine engagements, and ran up a stupendous total of 218 points to their opponents’ none. Sev- eral times the ball was in Barium’s sacred zone in the possession of the ether team, and once it was on the six-inch line with first down and goal to go. But that team, and oth- ers, never scored. The 80-pounders dd not play but three games, all of which were with Belmont, and they counted for %3 noints against rom for Belmont. Most unsuccessful this fall was the 190-pound group, which won only one out of four games, and it was the only team which’ scored less than the opponents. The 100-pound- ers made a total of 26 points to the »ppositions’ 51. But one game was lost by the 115- ‘ers, and this was the last fracas of the season, when Belmont eked out a 6 to 0 win for the only points tal- Ved against this eleven. They won six other contests, and rolled up a total of 127 points in those games. Rarium’s varsity played the long- est schedule of all five aggrega- tions, and had they won over Winston- Selem high the season would have been pronounced an overwhelming success. As it is, the adjective “over- whelming” is left off, but the var- sity did have a successful fall. They won eight of the eleven games, tied one and lost two. They chalked up 150 points to their opponents’ 38, and 19 of these came in the curtain- ringer when Winston-Salem took ad- vantage of a momentary lapse by the varsity and scored that many points in the second quarter. In addition to these competitive teams, the 60-pounders played num- erous times between themselves during the halves of other contests, and generally it was a scoreless tie. The only day they performed away from the campus was on November 12th., when they gave thrills to sev- eral thousand football fans at the Davidson College Home-Coming Day. They battled between halves of the Carolina-Davidson tussle.

Examine it carefully. There are some things that are encouraging about this, compared with last year at this same date, we are $1,706.34 ahead forthe month. Compared with the previous year, we are $729.00 behind. The last column which shows the amount behind for each Presbytery is a big improvement over last year. The average for the Synod being 41.4 cents, as against 65.1 cents last year. Part of this difference is be- cause of the lowered budget this year. We are operating on an aver- age of ten cents per month per church against 12% cents per mem- ber last year; and that means that ihe aaivunt due ai this time is eigh- ty cents per member; whereas, on last year’s estimate it would have been $1.00 per member. The total amgunt contributed at this time is 38.6 cents per member. Not quite half way of the eighty cents, and yet, that is nearly four cents better than this same date last year. We have received very few checks from the larger churches. Quite a number of the smaller churches have sent in their entire contribution. We hope that the report of this Table in January will be the best in years. Quite a number of the Thanksgiv- ing offerings do not reach us until January, although the church Trea- surers send it in sooner; but when it is sent to the Presbytery’s Treasur- er it usually slows up the final re- ceipt by us at least thirty days. For instance, if you send your check to the Presbytery’s Treasurer on the first day of December, we will ordinarily get it within the first ten days of January, and then it can not be reported until the Febru- ary Messenger. We note that four of the Presby- teries have passed the half-way mark which is three more than were this time last year. Everyone of the Presbyteries, with- out exception, shows a larger con- tribution this year than last for this date. The improvement is very small in some cases; in others quite large. We believe all of these things are a hopeful sign, and we give you this information with gratitude and a firm belief that our faith in you has been justified and will continue to be so. —P. 0.

OUR SALVATION The further we delve into the fin- Orphanage, the more convinced do we become that the salvation of the Institution from the financial encumbrances that now burden it can come only through reg- ular, systematic support. We do not mean, in that statement, to minim- ize the importance of the Thanks- giving Offering, for without it the Orphanage might have to close its doors or curtail its work to a point where it would be negligible in ser- vice to the Synod of this state. But we have observed in review- ing the record of giving by many churches in the Synod, that it is on- ly at Thanksgiving that the congre- gation of the church, or the mem- bers of the Sunday School and Aux- iliary, give financial expression to their interest in the Orphanage, and they wait another whole year be- fore the needs of Barium are brought to their attention. We do not think in terms of fi- nances when we advocate monthly contributions to the Orphanage, for while these people are making their gifts regularly the interest in Bar- ium and several hundred children is kept constantly alive. This interest is personal and they spread the gos- pel to others, with the result that there is a perennial interest in our welfare that has favorable reaction MR. R. G.

AND A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM At this time of year, after the busy months preceding Thanksgiv- feel constrained ing, we sometimes to write our observations and_ re- actions from meeting people when presenting the Orphanage cause to them. During the months of October and November it is usually our pri- vilege to speak on the average of about five times a week to various church organizations; Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs; and everywhere where two or more people are gathered to- gether. We have been interested in noting just what aspect of Orphanage life appeals to them most. It is not hard for a speaker to find out these things, and he has to find them out if he hopes to continue speaking. We have prepared speeches most laboriously, giving the history of the Orphanage movement back to its be- ginning, and have found that when we delivered these speeches, the people went to sleep on us. We have prepared arguments by the page showing why a community or State must not neglect the care of depen- dent children; how such neglect in- evitably comes back and demands many more times money in the hand- ling of the crime and disease brought about by the neglect of children; and in delivering such a speech, we have noted many folks pulling out their watches and maybe tip-toeing out of the assembly. We have at great length prepared | most convincing speeches on_ the cost of maintaining institutions of this kind, and nobody seems to re- member what we have said. But when you commence to talk about the children themselves; their daily doings and sayings, their hopes and fears, people wake up. They are rot even content to let you stop at the regulation stopping time. In fact, we had a most unusual experience one time when a member in a congregation insisted that the speech continue after the speaker had sat down. If you are speaking on Orphanage work, and confine your remarks en- tirely to the actual experiences of the young people, you will never have an audience to walk out on you. We have found out something else, too: very few Orphanage talks are prepared and delivered without the thought of money in the background at least. We have prepared (as we thought) most convincing arguments, and have sometimes failed to note any improvement in contributions where this speech was delivered. At other times, we have used up so much time in talking about the children that there was not enough of our Institution; and yet, strange to say, we have noted an improve- ment when such a thing happened, we believe, more often than where the money part of the address was the main part of it. What does all this prove? To our minds, it proves that people are very human, very lovable; that they take their obligations toward the Orphan- age work more as a privilege and a pleasure than a duty. They do not want you to present them a bill for services rendered, but they do want to know something about the family of which they are a part. It is some- thing like hearing from your son or daughter at college. Of course let- ters from that source do usually con- tain a bill, or a request for money, details of their lives than we are in the reasons for such and such items on the bill. There are some interesting things happening every day and every hour at our great Institution here. Some of therm are amusing, some pathetic. All are _ interesting. Sometimes things will happen and we dread the reaction that it may have on our youngsters. We are often surprised and delighted to find that a different reaction has taken place. As an illus- tration: Early this fall we discovered that our Santa Claus was not going to be able to cover as much territory as in former years. In fact, the letters could only be received from the smaller children up through the fifth grade. We dreaded to make this an- nouncement to our young people, be- cause we know how much they have enjoyed in the past, the preparing of their Christmas letters and receiving the gift afterwards. We were not quite prepared for the reaction that did actually take place. Instead of hearing complaints, we had several children come to us who were below the sixth grade, and ask us not to include their letters, but to allow some other children who would not otherwise get a chance to take their place. It really looks as though our Christmas is going to be happier than it otherwise would have been, because a lot of our youngsters are on the lookout for chances io do something for those who this year will be deprived of the attention usually given them from Santa Claus. There are similar illustrations, and incidents that we could mention showing the reaction of our family to hard vimes. We couldn’t feel bad about these things, if we wanted to In fact, we feel just the opposite. We believe that we can detect some- of the year. Yet, there are many who have not replied to those letters, posi- tively or negatively. These treasur- ers were not asked to reply, but we thought that their interest in the little tots here would be sufficient for them to give some expression as to why they were got contributing, cr for them to staff their monthly offerings. We have been interested in those letters which were written to us, stating the causes why it would be impossible for this and that organ- ization to contribute. We have found in several instances, that they were not masters of their monies, but that the group’s offering was al- ready allotted before it was ever giv- en in helping support some other part of the church endeavor, or the church itself. Others have replied that their church is heavily in debt, but we wonder what Barium would do if all those churches with a debt withdrew their support from the Orphanage! but we are all more interested} Barium does not ask much from in how they are getting on; what/its 75,000 Presbyterians. One dol- progress they are making, and the|lar and twenty cents per member, which would include the Thanksgiv- ing Offering, seems comparatively small to operate an institution that is sheltering between three and four hundred chiidren. It would seem large if Barium merely gave it boys and girls bread and water and a place to sleep. But that is not the ex- tent of the church’s responsibility to its homeless ones. They must be educated, they must be properly su- pervised, they must be given the ad- vantages that otherwise would not be theirs unless the church main- tained a centralized plant for their care. Ail of this amounts up. So many of our church people have the idea that their responsibi- lity to the Orphanage ceases when they put their offering in at Thanks- giving. We are thankful, though, that many others do not have this idea, and that they are responding regularly to Barium. Oftentimes we have to keep the modest salaries that are paid the workers in the vault because we do not have the funds to pay them. Qur_ creditors have to be postponed and postponed until it becomes humiliating to write them, and we would like to slip away if we knew they were coming to see us. This is a responsibility which the officials at the Orphanage have had to assume, when in reality it is the responsibility of the entire Synod of North Corolina. You send us_ the children, and we can not sit idly by and let them suffer, though it might mean mental anguish to us later when we try to meet the obligations incurred to give them the necessities. What we would like to do is to trans- fer each individual of the North Carolina Synod to Barium the first of each month and let him try to figure out some way to pay our bills. If it could be done each time, then the person who evolved the time left to present the money needs thing of this attitude in the letters scheme would be a genius. He would not be working with an orphanage, MESSENGER but would be sought by the highest financial tribunals of the world. But these bills can be paid, the present curtailed number of child- ren can be cared for, and many oth- ers could be accepted at Barium who are now being refused admission only to live a life of desolation. This would be possible if ALL churches and ALL of their organiza- tions would set aside a sum for the Orphanage each month, It need not be such a great amount, if ALL did this, for we would be getting funds from over a thousand organizations, and the total each thirty days would make our work happier than it now is, and would be a source of happi- ness to all 75,000 Presbyterians to know that they were acceptably making a “visit to the fatherless in their affliction.” —P. 0. H— HOME-COMING DAY Our Home-Coming Day gets big- ger as we attempt to have more at- tractions on that day. A _ lot has been written about the football game between Barium and Greensboro that took place, and at which quite a number of old Barium Springs boys and girls were present. It was no doubt their presence that inspired the Barium team to play the kind of game that they did. It is just possible that this fea- ture of Home-Coming may some day become big business, but we do not believe that the meeting of the Alumni themselves will ever get up; into that classification, and we are rather glad of it. The meeting of the Alumni Association looks more like a family reunion than it does a convention as so many Alumni Associations are apt to grow into. These meetings are small enough so that quite a bit of time can be spent in reminiscences and in renewing old friendships. The business part of it is soon dispensed with. Another beautiful thing about this meeting is that no matter when you happened to be at Barium, you are sure to find someone here that you knew as a child. That has been true of every Home-Coming Day we have ever had since its beginning. There are several people that you will always find here. Mr. Hipp, for instance, who entered among the very first. I believe he is No. 12 in the list of the children that entered the Orphanage. He is the only one of the ones returning that can tell his own tales without having someone to corroborate them. He is the oldest Alumnus that attends the reunions. There is the Ferguson family which came not so long after, and Rowland Ferguson would no doubt tell some tremendous tales, were it not for the fact that he is hedged in on both sides by people that were here with him; and this cramps his style tre- mendously. There may come a time when he will be the oldest Alumnus attending the meetings and then we will no doubt hear lots of things about the Orphanage in his day. By the way, Mr. Ferguson was president of the Alumni Association and has always been one of the most enthusiastic members and certainly does help make each meeting a success. Among the older members of the Association, there was Mrs. Ross of Charlotte, who was “Cora Shields” as a girl. Then the whole McConnell family was back this time. They were here as children from 1908 to 1916. Then, our neighbor, W._ T. Warlick who was here from 1906-16. He lives right here in Statesville, but is such a busy man that it has to be a holiday before he can come down and see us. Warlick makes up for lost time when he does come. The President, James P. Gray, no doubt knows more of the Alumni in- dividually than any other man. His years here as a student from 1902-10 cover one period. And _ then, his years here as a worker cover an- other; and then his present work in Statesville with The Statesville Daily has kept him in close touch with the Orphanage in the years since. All in all, our impressions of Home-Coming Day was that it was one of pleasure. The sun was shin- ing on our meeting, both actually and figuratively, and we all went home feeling that it was good to meet together. P. D. H-— HONOR ROLL FOR 4TH. MONTH Sixth Grade—Alice Jones.

Pollocksville Church 2.00 Batwin Gould Noe yeceqevounsneceeyynns Page Four COTTAGE BARIUM MESSENG ER December 1982 NEWS BABY COTTAGE On November 1st we enjoyed visits from the Regents. One of the Regents, Mrs. Harper of Wilmington, brought us a nice box of things, con- taining sun bonnet curtains, spreads and pillow cases, all of which were made by the Daily Vacation Bible Class. We are very grateful to Mrs. Harper and her class. Someone else was also thoughtful and brought us a supply of candy when they came, It was enough for the entire dining room. Was it good? My, you should have seen us eat it. We are having a big time wearing our new clothes which our clothing people have been sending us. Our friends have been kind to remember us in cold weather by sending us com- forts and blankets. We were glad to welcome many of our old fricads here on Home-Com- ing Day, November 1ith. Partieu- larly were we pleased to have Ruth Spencer, one of cur former girls, and her sister-in-law. Mama Girt was delighted with a short visit from her former pastor, Rev. J. T. Barham on the day of the Sanford-Barium football game. He brought a carload of Sanford foot- ball players with him. Mr. Sams, the kind manager of the Playhouse in Statesville invited, everybody to the picture show, “Pack Up Your Troubles,” and later invit- ed us to another picture, “You Said a Mouthful.” The children enjoyed these pictures so much that they have been imitating the actors. Since our whooping cough left us we decided that we could not get along without having the mumps. One day, Mabel Weddington asked, “Phillipina, what color are Charles’ mumps?” Mama Girt went on a short busi- ness trip. She and Miss McGoogan went together. We missed them very much, but were glad to have Misses Faye and Mildred Stevens for our temporary matrons. November 20th. eight of us to Winston-Salem to give a program, but instead of giving one program, as intended, we gave two One was at the First Presbyterian Church, and the other at Reynolda. Mrs. George Norfleet sent cars for us and we were invited to her home. She and some other kind friends of Winston gave us many nice gifts, in- cluding tea sets, trucks, chewing gum, candy and fruit. We enjoyed every minute of the day and hope they enjoyed our program and will let us come again. It seems as if programs must be eur hobby, for the Monday after we went to Winston-Salem we went to Salisbury to give one before the Woman’s Auxiliary. Oh boy! If the folks who sent us the cakes, chicken and ice cream on could have seen us would have done their Thanks hiding ing it it, hearts good. That day we had visitors from Greensboro and Leaksville to visit us. The babies and Misses Greene and Dogpett were invited to Charlotte to give a program and to have supper a few days after our Salisbury trip. The ladies were very good to us. They gave each one a nickel and a penny. For supper we had chicken and chicken dressing. On the way back, Raymond Jessup asked, “Miss Greene, who made that chicken’s dress? I never did see a chicken wearing a dress”. Friday after Thanksgiving Mama Girt had a visit from her two sons, Murphy and John. On December 8th. we enjoyed see- Mrs. J. H. Hill, a former matron at Barium. —P. 0. H.— HOWARD We are busy getting ready for Santa Claus, and if you wiil come to see us about six o’clock Christmas morning you will see why we are so anxiously awaiting the arrival of that gentleman from the North Pole. Our happiness over the approach of Christmas, however, is disturbed by the knowledge that mid-term ex- aminations are coming before Santa Claus does. We have had two good pictures re- cently and hope we will have some more soon. We are looking forward to the basketball season, and feel that our teams will do some good playing. No more news from us_ will be written this year. —Howard Girls H. LEES Hello, everybody! It has been mighty cold here, but it is now warm- er. We are hoping that it will snow for Christmas, which is not far away. We hope that everybody will have a happy Christmas. Arnim East, one of our boys, had an accident some time ago when he cut his hand. Just as it was getting well he swallowed a quarter and had to go to the hospital to have it tak- en out. Somebody asked him if he got the quarter, or twenty cents in change. Football is over at Barium, but basketball is here now. We won most of our football games, and hope that we will win all of the basketball con- tests. Neal McKee and David F. WOMEN’S BUILDING Yo-—ho! for Christmas! Only a few days away! Then holidays will be here. Some of the girls who live near Barium are going home for Christ- mas. Last Sunday our Mission Band, under the direction of Mrs. Jos. B. Johnston, gave a Christmas program, and the following Monday night the Women’s Auxiliary gave one. Mrs. Johnston also entertained the Mission Band with a “tacky party” and candy pulling last Saturday night. You would not have recogniz- ed us as being the same people had you seen us when we walked into her home, It was a most successful party. Our football is over, but then we have basketball, boxing and wrest- ling. The girls had a basketball game last Thursday and what a game! We had a tough fight. When the whistle ended the regulation game the score was tied, 15 to 15, but we came out victorious in the extra minutes of playoff, winning 16 to 15. The vic- tory «vas over the Mt. Ulla girls. Mary Lathan West, Nellie Culp, Florence Drye and Marguerite Gas- kill, the appendicitis patients, are getting along fine. Marguerite Gaskill ——P, 0. H. INFIRMARY Just 22 more days until Christmas as we write this, and we wish that it was already here. We can’t make it come sooner than scheduled, so we suppose we will have to contently wait for December 25th. Thanksgiving is over and we all had a delightful time. Vivian Bob- bitt had a pleasant visit from her people on Thanksgiving Day. We are glad that a number of ap- pendicitis patients have been able to return to the campus. We have had three operations recently, and all patients are getting along splendid- ly. We hope that Florence Dry, who is now in the hospital, will get along fine with her operation. We sure do miss Bobbie since his mother took him home, and we hope that she will remember to bring him to see us sometime. There are only six patients at the Infirmary now, which is a small number for the winter months. Miss Moore, our nurse, is fixing a box for the mountain children for Christmas. 0. H—— RUMPLE HALL Everyone seems to be happy at Rumple Hall today, because Christ- mas is not very far off, which means school holidays will be enjoyed. Thanksgiving has just passed, and we had a lovely day. Our friends were so thoughtful of us, and they made it possible for us to have a real Thanksgiving dinner. We have missed Mrs. Purdy, our dining room matron, who has been confined to her room for the past three weeks with a broken ankle. We are counting the days until she will be back with us. A number of our girls have been nursing cases of mumps, but they’re all well today. Miss Turner entertained the girls who made the honor and merit roll in October with a dinner last Satur- day night. The ones included were Louise Wilson, Lucile Burney, Nellie Johnson and Bernice Stone. Alice Pittman enjoyed a nice visit from her mother and brothers on Thanksgiving. P. 0. H.—— SYNOD We have written our letters to Santa Claus, who perhaps has_al- ready started on his journey, and we are very anxious for Christmas to come. The boys and girls at Barium are practicing basketball now, and we expect to have some good teams and to see some excellent playing. Miss Johnston told the boys at her table that she would give a nickle to each one who made the highest mark on deportment. She was quite surprised and financially embarrassed when so many of us made 95. Will leave you now until after Santa makes his visit. Merry Christ- mas.—Nelson Farmer, Miller Blue. —P. 0. FARM Here we are again to tell you of the happenings of this distinguished group. We have been shucking the corn which we received from our other farm, the McDonald. About 100 hogs have been killed for our supply of meat during the winter and next summer. The wheat that we sowed has sprung up, and has made the fields a carpet of green. There will be little stump pulling this winter on account of the six ecar-loads of corn that we have to shuck. Mr. Cavin, farm foreman, had a flag pole 48 feet high placed near the football scoreboard at the end of Sloan Field and put up two flags on it, one the United States flag, and the other the Barium Springs waver. (Continued from Page One) ALUMNI EVENTS University last year. In her letter to the Orphanage, Zora Lee, of Valdese, stated that an- other Barium girl, Louise Williams is also in Valdese, having left here to stay with relatives last summer. Sylvia Brown is making her home in Valdese with Mrs. Ghigo, a former matron at the Orphanage. Robert A. Wilkes, who left the Orphanage in 1928, has been honor- ably discharged from the U. S. M. C., and is now temporarily located in Greensboro. Sam C. Jackins, who left Barium in 1924, has been made manager of the White Truck Sales Company at Shreveport, La. For eight years he has been with the White Company, but left them to accept the manager- ship he now holds. J. D. Lackey, one time student at Barium, now a Junior at Georgia Tech, and a prominent member of the Tech football team, is at pres- ent enroute to Berkley, Califoria, with the Georgia-Tech team to play the University of California a game of football on Saturday, December 17th. This trip will not be just for football. It will be made in easy stages through the Grand Canyon, and the return trip will be through the Panama Canal, with a side trip to Cuba, finally arriving in Atlanta on New Year’s Day. News comes from Monroe, Georg- ia, that Bill McKay, a prominent member of the 1930 Barium Football team, where he was known as the “Loping Locomotive” has earned himself another title. Now the “Iron Man,” the only man in the whole Conference of Prep Schools in Geor- gia that played every minute of every game this season, and did not have any “time out” taken for him for anything. His coach who is the famous Red Barron, of Georgia Tech has this to say about him: “If I had two more players that any- ways equalled McKay, our team would have won at least two more games that were dropped by close scores. As it is MeKay and Griffith were almost direct!y responsible for Monroe defeating G. M. and _ River- side in the only games that my team won this season. McKay did all the passing, punting, and was seventy- five percent of the offensive and de- fensive strength of the Monroe team.” We will no doubt see McKay in the Georgia Tech Fre:*man lineup next season, making new names for him- self. Among the men receiving letters for football service at Davidson for this past season, we find the names of A. J. Potter and Julian West. Jul- jan was captain of the 1929 Barium Springs team. He was captain of the 1930 Davidson Freshman team. Potter was a mebber of our 1930 football team, and was the captain of the 1931 Davidson Freshmen. We have not heard of the awards of the Monograms of the Davidson Freshman players this year, but we are expecting to find the following names among those receiving this honor: Pittman, Sears, Clark, Cum- bie, Lee and Johnston, all of the 1931 Barium Springs team. We might accidentally see Robert Blue’s name in that list. Robert was captain of our midget team at Barium, and saw some service in the Freshman squad at Davidson. The only reason he is not a regular is because he just weighs 110 pounds. MARRIAGES Bustle-Falls The following announcement has been received at Barium: “Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Gustavus McLurd an- nounce the marriage of their daugh- ter, Eva Geddes Bustle, to Harry Watson Falls on Thursday, Novem- ber 10th. At home, 513 West Third Avenue, Gastonia.” Miss Bustle left Barium in 1925, and after complet- ing her high school work she attend- ed North Carolina College for Wo- men, from which she graduated. JohnSon-Roe Information has been received at Barium about the marriage of Miss Edith Johnson to J. D. Roe, of Char- lotte, which took place on November 11th. Miss Johnson graduated from Barium in 1928, and has been work- ing with the American Trust Com- pany in Charlotte. They are making their home in that city. Todd-Tate Miss Marguerite Harding Todd, 1931 graduate of Barium, and James Albert Tate were married at 9 o’clock Saturday, November 26th., at Dan- ville, Va., in the presence of a few intimate friends. Miss Tood attended the North Carolina Woman’s College in Greensboro after leaving Barium, and for the past year has been con- nected with the Woolworth Com- pany. Mr. Tate received his educa- tion at the Monticello School and has since been employed by the State Highway Commission. Mr. and Mrs. Tate are at home at 216 E. Bragg St., Greensboro. Whitlow-Kipka Miss Fannie Whitlow, 1930 Barium graduate of Mooresville, and Edward Kipka, of Harmony, were married in Danville, Va., at 5 o’clock November 23rd. Since lgaving Barium, Miss Whitlow has been a student nurse at Lowrance Hospital in Mooresville. Mr. Kipka is a native of Moores- ville, but is now a member of the high school faculty at Harmony. Mr. and Mrs. Kipka are residing in Harmony. BIRTHS Dr. and Mrs. Maurice G. Beal, of 804 E. 38rd. St., Portland, Oregon. announce the birth of a dughter, Mary Ann, on June 28, Mrs. Beal was formerly Martha Boyce, who graduated from Barium in 1922.

Patsch, Jr., of 2116 Avondale Ave., Charlotte, an- nounce the birth a son, Arthur Ver- non, Jr., on November 27th, 1932. The young heir weighed eight pounds. Mrs. Patsch was formerly Thelma Shaffer of the class of 1927, Uncle Ray Shaffer, who is still at Barium and graduates in June, grinned mag- nificiently when he was first spoken to as “Uncle Ray.” (Continued from Page One) APPROXIMATELY 100 win a “glorious victory.” All of the alumni attended the football game, where they saw Bar- ium triumph over Greensboro, 28-0, to close an unusually — successful fourth Home-Coming. Below is a list of the alumni who put their names in the registration book at Barium on Home-Coming Day. The Messenger has added data about the years these people were lenrolled at the Orphanage.

This game was _ Staged on Home-Coming and Armistice Day and the largest crowd of the year witnessed the riot of the Greensboro boys. Barium first scored after a 99-yard march, Hannon going the last 46 yards for a touchdown on an _ off- tackle play. Archer scored another when he took a 19-yard pass from Oliver and wriggied 12 more yards across the goal line. Oliver ‘broke away for 76 yards before he was overhauled from behind, but he scored three plays later on a line buck. Oliver made the last touchdown when he intercepted a pass and went 54 yards for six points. King perfect- ly placekicked all extra points. Qn November 17th., Barium won the 1932 Orphanage Football Cham- pionship when it defeated a scrappy Oxford Orphanage eieven 24 to 0,in @ game which was played on the field of the World War Memorial {Stadium in Greensboro. Oxford held !Barium to a 6 to 0 score in the first half, Oliver going around right end for 25 yards and a tally near the end ot the initial quarter. But Barium made three six-point counters in the last period. Oliver skirted left end 20 yards for a touch- down. Barium made a 65-yard march, Oliver tallying on a four-yard line smash, and King scored the final touchdown when he took a 10-yard pass from Oliver and went 36 more yards for a counter. After a 10-day period of inactivi- ty, Barium went to Winston-Salem for a clash with Winston high and returned home with a 19 to 6 defeat. The latter scored more points against Barium thanall of the other opponents of the Orphanage had made throughout the season. All of Winston-Salem’s points came in the second quarter. A blocked and re- covered punt, plus a 30-yard pass paved the way for Winston’s first score, Smothers smashing one yard across. Wimbish scored the other two for Winston, when he went 44 yards around right end to tally, and when he traveled 57 yards for a score on a pass interception. Barium’s lone touchdown came in the last bracket, when Oliver crash- ed two yards after a sustained 73- yard march. The Orphanage made threats in these two periods, but they went for naught as Winston- Salem held for downs. Greensboro football game when we were plunged into the last minute rush of our big Fall concert and when that was over there was all the rush of the many things which had to be postponed until after the con- cert was over. During that time I had a very definite intention of writing to tell you how we had en- joyed our trip to your hospitable campus, an intention which I am afraid we did not get carried out. We go to a great many places in the course of our work and no two of them are alike. Among them ail ft do not believe there is another which has the at .osphere of gen- uine friendship wh.ch we always find with you. You feel it in the {air almost before you meet any of the folks. There is no greater pleas- ure in this game of music than playing for folks who give every in- dication of actually enjoying what you are doing.
