The following shows the Thanks- giving Offering from the various Presbyteries for the two years - the final for 1937, and the amount that had been received at Barium Springs on Dec. 31, 1938: FOOTBALL BANQUET 1S. CTACED IN DECEMBER *Tators—t in y potatoes, small ‘stators, middle-sized potatoes anid big ‘tators—was the “keynote” of the annual football banquet at Ba- rium Springs on Friday night, De- cember 16, at which time approx imately 175 people gathered in the dining room of Rumple Hall, with the football warriors of the Orph- anage as the main center of attrac- tion. Guests were present from Statesville, Troutman, David. n and East Monbo, and Glenn Uwal- houn, principal of the schools and one of the two football coaches at Barium, was the genial toastmas- ter. Features of the affair were the awarding of two new _ trophies which will be annually offered by Alwyn Morrison in memory of his father, announcing the selection of J. D. Beshears as the most valuable varsity player of the 1928 season, presentation of Rex Lewis as cap- tain-elect of the 1939 team, and the announcement by R. FE. Jac*ins the other Barium football mentor, that the workers of Barium were giving Jos. B Johnston, superin- tendent, a trip to the Sugar Row! classic at New Orleans on January 2nd. The “keynote” was inadvertent- lv sounded by Jim Gray, of Stat ville. news editor of The Statesville Daily, who was called upon to make another speech by popular demand of the Barium boys He did not realize that he was predes- tined to present a trend of think- ing that was capitalized upon by other impromptu sneakers of the evening, for he actually thought that he was making a speech “to end speeches” when implored upon to make a few remarks. His dis- sertation led Mr. Calhoun, who was the “goat” of some of the subtle slants from Mr. Gray’s tongue, to assure him that he would be called (Continued On Page Three) Synod a net de- | Synod to equal | ities to spend a day in discussing of increasing the | Totals $43,956.94 $37,581.81 regular income for the Home at As for the giving of the various | Bari ae ; .

Football Season’s Activities Reviewed (Continued From December Issue of The Earium Messenger) Now for the 125-pound history: On September 24, they began their season against Kannapolis at Kannapolis. By the way, this team was made up almost entirely of the 1957 100-pound championship team, and this meant that when the 1938 season started these boys had all outgrown the 100-pound squad. For this reason also, they were & team already when the season started. They were used to each other, familiar with the plays, and were ready to go to town. They demon- strated this against a powerful Kannapolis crew, defeating them 41 to They executed their plays with such precision the Kannapolis root- ers were cheering for Barium before the game was over. On the morning of October 1, at Oxford, the 125-pounders defeated Oxford 25 to 0. Three of these touchdowns were scored in the first quarter on the up-hill end of Oxford’s football field, which is quite steep. The most thrilling play of the game was Ed Cole’s return of the first kick-off for a touchdown. Even the Oxford folks cheered these performances. Later that same day, this team was a guest of Doe Newton and State coaching staff for the N. C. State—Carolina game in Raleigh. On October 11th, Statesvilie visited Barium and was defeated 26 to 0, in a real battle. Statesville’s varsity teams are usually woefully weak, but they make up for it in the strength that their midget teams have. Their 125-pound team can play in anybody’s company with credit. On October 18th, Concord visited Barium and were defeated 57 to 6, but managed to pull off one of the most beautiful plays of the sea- son when their man ran a kick-off for a touchdown. This was the only score against this Barium team for the entire season. Barium was in top form that day, and the execution of forward passes, laterals, hip- per-dippers, was a delightful thing to behold. On November 1, Kannapolis returned her game to Barium, and in the meantime, Kannapolis varsity had defeated the Barium varsity. It appeared that the younger members of our Barium family were out to avenge that defeat. And although the Kannapolis boys played nlendidly, the final se vas (believe 3 to 0, in favor of Barium. . On November 5th, (Saturday A. M.) Oxford Orphanage came to Barium, and this was played in the pouring down rain. As a result neither team was able to score. Barium pushed the Oxford team all over the field, except of course the final line. Oxford did not seriously threaten at any ti By the way, it was this same \ ore Qh time during the game. group of boys that fought the 1937 100-pound team to a scoreless tie at Oxford. | These were the same boys making up different teams for both orphanages, in different weight limit Qn November & we journeyed to Concord and defeated Con- cord on their own field 20 to 0. The team that showed the most remarkahie improvement the Concord 125- noun‘ers. Then on November 15th, Barium went to Statesville and had diffi- culty in beating Statesville 6 to 90. This was that teain : They did even better when met on their own homegrounds in Statesville. And that brings us un to the final game cf the season, which = the final game of a Four Game Midget Carnival played in Char- otte. Several weeks before the end of season the Charlotte coaches invited Barium to send four teams to meet teams of similar weights in Charlotte at the Stadium for an all afternoon fracus. The weights agreed upon were: 85 pounds, 105-110, 115-120, and 130-135. The regular Barium 125-pound team played in this top bracket, and their game was the real high-light of the afternoon at this Midget Carnival. They defeated the Charlotte team 14-9, the scores heing a safety and two touchdowns. We cannot dismiss this 125-pound team without going further into detail. ‘The whole team is a joy to behold when in acaon. The back- field boys have stayed so near the same in weicht that you can virtually set the scales for one and the other three will tip them for the same. Their names are Miller Blue, quarterback; Ed Cole, Joe Ben Gibbs. and Henry Pittman. They have played together on the 85, on the 100, in recent years, and now they are backfield mates on the 125. Three of them will certainly see service on the varsity next season. Unfor- tunately, Miller Blue (that is, unfortunately for the team since he has been the signal caller and the sparkplug at all times) will be uated this year. This is the team that earned the name of SYMPHONY IN BLUE when they were hundred-nounders. They carried that on until this year they were called the RHAPSODY IN GOLD. uniforms, but they did not change their rhythmic habits. Next year we predict that they will earn the name of the RAGTIME BAND IN RED when they don the red of the varsity. All in all, they played nine games. They won 8, and tied 1. Their total scores for the sea- son being 274 to their opponents’ 6. during the season was Save +hat Notww for the 100-nounders: This particular team, by the way, is one of the most highly respected teams at Barium. They are really the “big midgets,” being the veteran members of the light squad. They play a tough schedule, and it is very seldom that one institution holds the championship for more than_one_ year. Ra- rium’s 100-pounders were champions in 1937. The Junior Order Orphanage (Lexington) was the champion in this weight for this year. Oxford and The Children’s Home have all won their share of these championships. Last year, 1937, the Catholic and the Meth- odist Orphanage (both of Raleigh) joined in this championship race. The season’s record for our 190-pound team is as follows On October 1 they played Oxford at Oxford, winning 2 to 0. This was a ease of safety first, since it was this first seore and it was from them that the varsity later got the habit. n two of the important varsity games, you noted how the safeties rlaved such an important part. This game at Oxford is one of the toughest hurdles that our 100-pound team ever has to make The Oxford boys play football for keeps, and the rivalry is just as intense ame me smal- ler boys as it i mong the older boys. That, by the way, is just the way it is at Be On October 15 Pe went ington and cuffered a 20 to 0 defeat at the hands of the Junior Order Orphanage. The Junior Order backfield was the smoothest we have seen in operation this year in this weight limit. On October Sth, the team journeyed to the Children’s Home in Winston-Salem and suffered a 6 to 0 defeat in a hard fought and thrilling game. On November 22 the Children’s Home returned their game to Barium, and this game evened the score by Barium de- feating them 6to 0. And these two games brought about a tie for sec- ond place in the Conference standing. On October 18 our team defeated Concord at Barium 25 to 6 in a game that was wide open and that offered plenty of thrills. On November 5th, Oxford came to Barium, and on the same rainy t “um to Lay morning on which the 125-pounders played Barium, defeated the Ox- ford 100-pound team 7 to 0.

The Charlotte team scored the first touchdown by a magnificent return of a punt, and it looked for a time that the score would be 6 to 0 in Charlotte’s favor.

WOMAN’S BUILDING Dear Friends, Our Christmas season is over but we can’t seem to get accustom- ed to going back to school, because swe all had sueh a cood time dur- ing the holidays. We hope your Christmas season was a nice one ing and which had been received at and if it was anything like ours, you had a grand one! Our next subject is on basketball. Our teams have played three games joyed it very much and thanks to mas and old Santa was good to us. | and the girls won all theirs but the | The Synod’s Boys. | son, of Coleemee, who is a friend | We had our annual football ban- | because here is where they go into their first inter-scholastie compe- tition. They are the smaller and weaker members of the midget squad. They get run over by the 100-pounders, sometimes laughed at by visitors. They seldom win a game, but if we did not have the 85-nound team, it is doubtful if our varsity would amount to much. We take off our hats in the deepest respect to our 85 pounders and | their efforts to keep Barium Springs on the map. This team only | played three games. Their first one was against the Children’s Their other was against the same team, which they lost also, by the identical score, 15 to 0. They went to | Charlotte, and after giving up the strongest members of their team for the 100-pound game, they took on one of the sirongest teams They ldst 21 to 0. If we were looking for alibis we could find plenty of excuses in this game, but we don’t These boys played the respect of their opponents and the pride and affection of their older brothers on the larger Barium teams. When Barium has her | football banquet of the year to honor her football warriors, the 85- eir letters first. and they wil! have an honored Mother, the sister of Jack and Tom | pounders w ll receive th George Apper-| place at the festive board. We have not attempted in this brief review to name stars. It wwould meke the article too long. We will simply give you the line-up of the teams, because all have distinguished themselves at some time or other during the year. In our varsity squad, little J. D. Beshears had most of the brunt of the ball carrying. We want to commend Arthur Roach for his excellent stepping into the quarterback’s shoes with no varsity experience until this year. Our old stand-bys lke Arthur Sigmon, Rex Lewis, Worth Bolton, Paul McKenzie have all done valiant service. And the ones we have not mentioned belong right along side of these we have called special attention to. Barium has | played only the strong teams of her Conference. The teams outside of the Conference have been the ones well wp near the top ranking in North Carolina teams. Barium has won over half of her games. The towns and cities where our teams have played this year have reported that our boys have won their respect and affection. And after all, that is the greatest reward of the season’s activities We'll forget the scores and the victories long before we forget the friendships made in these athletic contacts. From that night back in September when the season opened, to the afternoon of the Midget Carnival] in Charlotte in the gathering dusk when the final signal was called, the 1938 sea- son has been a joy. Not a boy has acted in a manner to discredit himself or the institution that we love. They have taken their bad bumps without a murmur. They have taken their vieteries without gloating. And we are proud of them. VARSITY Barium 13, Morganton 7. | Barium 0, Charlotte 6. | Barium 14, Salisbury 9. | Barium 0, Children’s Home 6. Barium 6, Lexington 14. Barium 0. Kannapolis 13.

Any way, Mr. Gray referred to a long-ago conversation between the two Joe’s at Barium--Joe Clark truck farm manager, and Jee John- ston, the superintendent. The for- mer told the latter that “big *tators from little ’tators grow” and tis was the beginning, Mr. Gray con tented, of the athletic program o! developing big football stars f-or little stars, for this germ of thought offered by Joe Clark ger minated under Mr. Johnston into | a scheme of football teams, rang- | ing from the pint-size 65-pound performers between halves of loca! contests to that varsity crew that this year contained some member: that evidently did not eat enou =) potatoes along the route of t ei eareers at Barium, notable among whom ‘was the individual, J. D. Beshears, who was named by his teammates as the most valuable eavorter for the Orphanage’s mu- jor and zenith eleven. Mr. Gray’s speech was not th _ only one of the evening. Othcrs were called upon for a few re- marks; others were simply int o duced and necks craned to get a good look at those who had been | asked to eat baked chicken, scallop- ed oysters, dressing, rice, gravy, cranberries, candied yams, celer: rolls, butter, stringed beans, bana- | na salad, cake, ice cream, mini and to drink tomato juice and cv.- fee with the footballers. Eugene Shannon, former Barium athlete now at Davidson Collez., awarded the 85-pound letters; Da- vid Spencer, also at Davidson, pre- sented the 100-pound certiticates; the 125-pounders got theirs trom Leroy Sossamon, a high school ta: ulty member, and Harry Barkley, principal of the grammar sc.i0vis who also assisted in tutoring t. teams, awarded letters to tne va-- sity members. Jos. B. Johnston prescnied tie, two trophies which were given foi the first time by Alwyn Moriiso., and which will go to the best biock- er and tackler on the varsity eac.. year, by a vote of the players. Tie 1938 awards went to Howard Be- shears as the best blocker and to Paul McKenzie as the eminent tackler. Mr. Johnston then review- ed the record of the South Pied- mont conference, which showed a total of 40 games with outside op- ponents, 21 of which were won, 18 Jost and one tied, the South Pied- monters scoring 405 pomts to their epponents’ 330. The concluding event of the eve- ning was Mr. Jackins announcing that Mr. Johnston would be a guest of the workers at Barium when Texas Christian and Carnegie Tech locked horns in the Sugar Bowl at | New Orleans. Mr. Joanston. se- plied that if people were listening over the radio on January 2nd and heard the announcer say that there was a torrential downpour and no body was there, except one persv.., | and they couldn’t get him out, the people at Barium would know that this was him and that he wasn. so sure that he would be thinking about football that day, but would be thinking of the people at Ba- rium who had made this trip pos- | sible. The following Barium boys were awarded their spurs: 85-pounders—Hervey _ Stricklin, | Roscoe Smith, Richard Shoaf, Cecil Shepherd, Albert Mays, Charles Hooten, A. C. Gant, Frank Den- son, Clifton Barefoot, Robert Whit- | tle, Marshall Norris, Pleas Nor- | man, Ray Lewis and Esau Davis. 100-pounders—William Billings, Paul Burney, Ben Lewis, Moti Price, Jack Weeks, George Lewi- Joe Long, Vance Smith, Ernes Stricklin, Ed Williamson, Rufus Long and James Porter. 125—Tom McCall, Jack McUal, Cecil Starling, Woot Davis, Gv y n | Fletcher, Lacy Beshears, Mil Blue, Donald Bolton, David ‘ste ‘- ney, Ed Cole, Joe Ben Gibbs, Hugs: Norman, Henry Pittman, Wi i‘lians | Smith, James Shroyer, Chale: Starling and Jesse Weeks.

EITH FOUALLED OR SURPASSED ‘M36 SUNG BY JAN. 3 This Record Includes Regular and Thanksgiving Offer- ings for Support Fund WILL BE MORE Large Number of Others Expected to Be Added by March 31st On January 31, 1939, 165 church- es or mission pvints in the Synod of North Carolina had alr ady equalled or surpassed the total thet was given to Barium Springs in 1937-1938, and there were still two months remaining in 1938- 1939. This is a noteworthy attain- ment on the part of these 165, and officials at Barium Springs are mighty proud of them and are glad to give this public recognition to these churches that acct mplish- ed this feat in 10 months. Some of these churches report only at Thanksgiving-time, ane the Thanksgiving responses made last fall were greater than those ir, November, 1937, and thus they are in this gruuping. A gocd many other churehes in the Synod lacked but a few dollars of being listed with the 165 on January 31st, and a few of them lacked only a few cents. Many of these will be transferred to this list of exceeders at the close of February, and even more will have surpassed last year’s totals by the time the books are closed on 1958- 1939. The 165 are listed below: Alhemarle Presbytery —RBallard’s Micsion, Calvary. Cann Memorial, Falkland, Grace Chapel, Green- ville. Harrison’s Chapel, Holly- wood, Howard Memorial, Kinston, Morton, Poplar Point, Rocky Mount First, Rocky Mount Second, Runnymeade, Snow Hill. Cencord Presbytery —Arrowood, Reattie Memorial, Bethesda, Rridgewater, Clio, Clinchfield, Conley Memorial, Fairview. Har- mony. Hebron (same), McDowell, McKinnon, Mooresville First, New- ton, Oakdale, Old Fort, Patterson, Shearer, Siloam, Statesville First, Tabor, Waldensian, West Marion. Fayetteville—Gibson, Highland, Hope Mills Unien, Lumber Bridge. Notice Treasurers All treasurers of Churches, Sunday Schools and Auxiliaries are urged to place the final checks for the Orphanage in the mail not later than the morning of March 29th so that the contributions can reach the Orphanage on March Sist, the date when the 1938-1939 fiscal vear ends. It may be impossible for some few checks to reach the institution by the 3Ist, so the receipt books will be open a few days to receive these. However, it is hoped that the majority of the funds will be received by the closing date, and that final receipts the early part of April will constitute only a small part of the income for the Loyalty Month.

To equa! the 1937- 1938 aggregate of $18,780.42 will require exactly $5,141.38 from the Sunday Schools in the months of February and March. That’s a biz amount, but officials here know that the Sunday Schools wil! do their utmost in these two months to show an increase wn their reg- ular giving for the sixth consecu- tive year. There are now 39 Suniay Schools that made the $100.00 Club in their regular giving. Albe- marle continues to lead with a to- tal of $428.69, but Winston-Salem is trailing close behind with $425.32. However, Winston-Salem’s January Offering was not in hand by January ist, and had this reached Barium, Winston-Salem would have led all others in the amount that had been regularly given to this Home.

This plan was inaugurated in Janu- ary, when a respons: of $19.12 was made. A prediction has been advanced that West Ave- nue Sunday School will be a member of the $100.00 Club when 1939-1940 concludes, for there happens to be five fifth Sundays in the next fiscal year. More good news is the fact that many Sunday Scl.ools have requested posters for display on the Sunday before, and the Sunday of, the Barium Offering. Usings these posters will, if what usually happens is true, serve to increase the regular responses to Barium Springs. These posters are available to all Sunday Schools that will use them.

This article deals with 345 churches or missions that are yet to equal the 1937-1938 totals given to Barium Springs, and that’s 19 less than on January 31st, for 19 went into the “Church- es ahead” classification during the month of February. Of the 345 churches, 208 lacked between $10.00 and a little over $1,000.00 of measuring up to last And Those Honored The treasurer’s office at Barium Springs has reve jly started the preperstion of . “Zeck of Memo- rials”, in which will be recorded the names of the people who have paid tributes to their deceased friends or loved ones by sending contributions to this Home. A large-sized book has been se- lected for this purpose, because of the hundreds of memorial gifts shat have come to Barium Springs in the past six years. And, as other memorials amounts are received here, the name vf the donor and the name of the person honored will also be listed therein. So many people nowadays want to honor their loved ones or friends, at the time of their immediate deaths, on the anniversary of their deaths, on the anniversary of their birth dates, or will send a gift at Christmas-time in memory of dear one whose earthly mission (Continued On Page Three) Orphanage Work Secretary Says Dear Friends of Barium in the Woman’s Synodical Auxiliary: Here at the end of a year’s work, it is time for gathering together the record of accomplishments of the past twelve months, in every | phase of our work in Kingdom Service. The time has come to make out reports. Inevitably, if we have served faithfully and well, there will be the feeling of joy and satisfaction, or, where we have been remiss, the sense of regret. in both cases there must come to us all a new purpose to serve better in the next year. Of course you know I am think- ing especially about Barium. I am waiting so eagerly to hear of your accomplishments through our nine Orphanage Work Secretaries’ reports. These will be given at Presbyterial meetings and a message from your Orphanage that every woman may know Ba- rium Springs. Will every Auxiliary please see that a full report on Orphanage Work is sent to her Presbyterial Secretary and thus help us reach one of our goals for the year oD ery Auxiliary Making an Orphan- age Work report?” After all, a report is only the record of our interest expressed in service.

We are sorry that Mr. Cook fell and dislocated his shoulder while in Richmond. We certainly do thank Mr. Sams for inviting us to the show, “ Ari- zona Wildcat”, with Jane Withers performing. We have been seeing lots of bas- ketball these days. The Lee’s and Alexander boys had their annual basketball game. Alexander won the big boys game with Lee’s winning the small boys game.

Mr. Cook went to attend a meeting and bring them back. When they were ready to come back Mr. Cook had an aec_dent and dislocated his elbow. He is back now and preached Sunday. We missed them and are glad to have them back. Look for us again next month. —Lillie McDonald. LEE’S COTTAGE Flash — This is Lee’s Cottage back again with its news. We were glad to have Dr. C. M. Richards, Professor of Bible at Davidson College, to bring us a message in the absence of Mr. Cook, who was attending the Sprunt lectures at Richmond, Va. Dr. Richards brought us a message on the “Two Roads”: the “Bread Road” and the “Narrow Rond.” We are going to strive to follow the “Narrow Road.” We are all doing fine, and there is no sickness in the house. We are all glad to haye Mr. Clark, our Truck Farm boss, back with us at Barium. Mr. Clark has just recovered from a long illness and operation at Davis Hospital in Statesville. Miss Turner, our matron, is on & visit with her mother at Laurel Forks. Mrs. Marshall is here in her place. During February four of our boys, Cecil Starling, Bennet Bald- win, Tommy Lindsay and Roscoe Twombly went to a delicious birth- day dinner prepared by Miss Long, the kitchen matron at Ba~ um. During March, two of our boys, Paul Burnev and Esau Davis will have an opportunity to go to the birthday table. Lee’s and Alexander played four basketball games. Two were games with the smaller boys. The other two were games with the larger boys. We lost the two larger boys games, but won the two smaller boys games. We want to thank Mr. Sams for inviting us to a free picture show. We all enjoyed it very much. Ping pong is our favorite pas- time while we are not working or studying. We all recognize Snyder Reed as our champion player. He js just too good for us. Right now marbles is ratine sec- ond. So many of our boys are such good shooters that we can’t pin “champ” on any of them. Sn love, — We'll be back in a flash with a flash. —Jack McCall March 2, 1939. March 1939 BARIUM CURLS’ TEAM IS PHAMPIONSHIP SEXTETTE In South Piedmont Confer- ence.-Barium Boys Ranked Second In Same Circuit From The Charlotte Observer: RY SMITH BURRIER Concord, Feb. 28—-You might not believe it, but the undefeated conference record of the Barium Svrines cirls’ basketball team is one of those complete and happy surprises to Coach George Neel. What’s more, even a good record would have been a pleasant thought to Coach Neel back in early Jan- uary. “Nothing in sight,” he said early in the year. And now his girls have copped the South Pied- mont conference basketball trophy with 14 straight victories. He even added at the time, “Our girls are small and have had very little ex- perience.” The teams that have played the Presbyterian misses don’t agree. Clung To Lead. The Barium girls put the finish- ing touches to their title march last Wednesday night with a come- back 38-34 triumph over a surpris- ingly strong Lexington team. They had taken the lead in the percentage column of the confer- ence on the first night they played and had kept it all season. An undefeated record was neces- sary for the Barium girls to win, for in second spot was Concord with a mark of 15 wins, no losses and a tie. In this conference tie eames count a half-win, half-loss. Concord has two games yet to play. But take a look at the enviable mark set up by the Presbyterians under the tutelage of George Neel, Davidson alumnus now coaching his fourth year at Barium. Their seven victims with secres are as fallews: Mooresville, 27-7 and 28- 18: Spencer, 41-11 and 33-14; Kan- napolis, 26- 15 and 29-19; Lexing- ton, 25-19 and 38-34; Statesville, 26-22 and 31-25; Albemarle, 20-15 and °6-19; and Hickory, 40-17 and 83-22. Good Average. Rarium has tallied 422 points, an average of 30.1 per game, to its opponents’ 257, an average of 18.3. At home the Presbyterians have secred 226 points to 148 for opno- ents. On foreign courts they tallied 166 points to 109 for opponents. Coach Neel was right in com- plainine about the smallness of his girls, but he didn’t mention speed and shootine accuracy. His No. 1 forward combination consists of Wilma Jessup, Agnes Coppedre and Johnnie Burgin. The first two are veterans from 1938. His guards on the first assignment are Grace Coppedge, Bessie Kennedy and Frnestine Garrett. Here, too, the first pair are veterans. Gone from the 1938 team that ranked hich in the conference were Cantain Elmeree Smith, guard, and Dorothy Weeks, forward. It’s a pretty fair country league record, that 14 wins and no losses. But can you imagine what Coach Neel would have done if he had said: “We should win a couple games.” The above gravhically tells the story of the girls’ basketball team at Rarium as it played in the South Piedmont conference. Bessie Ken- nedy was captain of this champion- ship eleven, and those 422 points were almost equally divided be- tween Wilma Jessup and Agnes Coppedce. The former accounted for 187, Aenes Coppedge had 182 to her credit, and the remaining scorers were Burgin, 39; Lail, 22; and Cole, 1. Boys’ Varsity.

In the closing days of 1938-1939 special contributions came to Barium from Sunday Schools that do not aid regular- ly. Morganton Sunday School, in Concord Presbytery, sent a $50.00 check, and $37.50 was iorwarded to this Home by the Children’s Division of the Su- gaw Creck Sunday School. Maybe it will not be long be- fore these groups can be in- cluded among the regular con- tributers. “ANNUAL SUPPER OF CIVIC CLUBS or \Held at Barium on March 24th. - Attendance Un- “usually Large ———_—<»—__—— the even or positive side of the led- | From The Statesville Daily. ger on March 31st are as follows: Albemalle Presbytery—Ahoskie, Ballard’s Mission, Calvary, Cann | Barium Springs, March 25.—Of- ficials at Barium Springs had pre- | pared for 100 more guests than Memorial, Falkland, Grace Chapel, | attended the annual civic club sup- Greenville, Hollywood, Howard | Memorial, Jason, Kinston, Mac- clesfield, Mayo Mission, Nahalah, New Bern, Poplar Point, Rocky Mount First, Rocky Mount Second, Runnymeade, Snow Hill.

A seating capacity of 505 was available, and almost 200 others were served at the second _ after the guests had depart- ed. Without any preliminaries, ex- cept the asking of the blessing by Rev. R. A. White, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Mooresville, the guests and those children who ate with the visitors thoroughly enjoyed a_ delicious meal that consisted of baked ham, sausage, grits, candied yams. black- eyed peas, pickles, rolls, butter, eoffee, milk, cake and ice cream. The enjoyment of the food was in- dicated both by the quantity con- surmed and by the comments made. The program was under the direction of Miss Rebekah Carpen- ter, assisted by Misses Laura Grey Green and Elizabeth MeKethan and could best be entitled “Pictures Through Song” or strolling down memory’s lane. A stage had been erected and was decorated with evergreens in the background, with a moon shining through the pines, and the footlights were made at-! tractive through a generous ar- rangement of artificial tulips for | reflection. The lights of the din- ing room were switched off and as the footlights came on, Gertie Smith, as the grandmother, and Jacquelin Porterfield and Hilda Barnes, as the grandchildren, came on the stage. The grandmother seated herself, with a grandchild on each side, and slowly started | turning the pages of a memory | book. As each page was turned, a chorous was heard singing the ap- propriate song in the background | and on to the stage came __ indi- viduals who did the necessary pan- | tomines.

A grand total of 282 churches or mission points in the Synod of North Carolina’ either gave as much or more to Barium Springs in 1938-1939 than was given to the Home in 1937-1938, This is the fi- nal status of affairs, which means that 41 other churches went into the “exceeders” categery during the days of April that the books were held open to record the re- ceipts of 1938-1939. This is a good repert and one which is of great encouragement to Orphanage authorities. A total of 530 churches or mission points helped in the past 12 months, meaning that slighly more than 53.2% could be classified in this grouping. It is also remembered that 258 churches contributed more in 1937-1938 than 1936-1937.

We are all feeling fine and are happy because school is out. It was a good school year for us all. Two of our boys, Mott Price and Esau Davis, won scholarship prizes. We are going to miss our sen- ior boys and girls. As they go out from us, we wish them a success- ful life. We were proud to have an ex-Lee’s boy, David Flowers, win the Ace Medal. We expect to have a good time at the camp this summer. We en- joyed it a lot last year. Miss Turner, our matron, went to the Tri-Sate Orphanage Con- ference at Thomasville, and told us many interesting things about the boys and girls there. Mr. Thompson, of the States- ville Nursery, gave us some beau- tiful shrubbery and some very in- teresting cactus plants. Both the shrubs and cactus plants are doing fine. i Two of our boys have been vis- ited by their mothers. They are Wilbur Coates and Bobbie Whittle. Herbert McMasters and Snyder Reed are working as_ housecats over at Jennie Gilmer. Our house- cats are now doing some spring cleaning. They have started at the top of the house and are working down. - On the Truck Farm we have been planting corn, beans, potatoes and tomatoes, and are looking forward to a good long summer of taking care of them. So long until next month. —Jack MeCall May 1, 1939. SS — ee HOWARD COTTAGE Hello Folks, Our school is out and most of our seniors are leaving. Vacations will soon start. We are thinking about camp, too. Ten of our girls joined the church two weeks ago. Toni DeLancy, Janie Hall, Han- nah Price, Mae Allen Barrett and Frances Bowles had a nice visit from their people. Some of our girls who got show tickets are Peggy Lou Buie, Mary Alice Stevens, Betty Lou William- son, Elizabeth Langley, Nita Shepherd and Mary Ann Ryder. Miss Bell took the fourth grade to the show and four out of the third grade for helping them in their commencement program. So long until next month. —Dixie Lee Buie. May 1, 1939. ANNIE LOUISE Hello Friends, Our school closed April 24th and we had a very interesting com- mencement. The first, second and third grades gave a play, “The Lit- tle. Lane.” The fourth grade mem- bers were negroes, the fifth grade boys and girls were mountaineers, the sixth graders were Indians and the seventh grade sang some old songs. Doris Gant, Betty Jo Smith and Martha Price had visits from their home folks. Last week Pat Hooten went with Mrs. Jackins and other friends to see a lovely tulip garden near Sal- isbury. We know she enjoyed the trip. News From Some Of The Cottages i ing to camp the last of May. _ oe —Annie Louise Girls May 1, 1939. RUMPLE HALL Hi Folks, Here we are ready to give you a little bit of what has been happen- ing around here. Commencement is over now and most of the seniors have gone. We miss them very much and _ hope them success in their future life. School used to kept us busy stu- dying our lessons but since school has closed we haven’t much to do except listen to the radio, but we enjoy listening to a good many programs. Here are the names of the girls in the seventh grade who live at our cottage and who were promo- ted to High School: Betty Adams, Billie Ammons, Bertha Lee Broome, Beulah Baldwin, Evelyn Coppedge, Janie Smith, Juanita McMasters, and Marie Morgan. Bertha Lee Broome had a visit from her sister and three other girl friends Sunday. Betty Whittle also enjoyed a visit from her moth- er and sister.

Now we can look forward to our vacations, camp- ing trip, fruit, swimming, and ev- erything else summer brings, in- cluding warm weather. The end of school also brought us the departure of many dear school mates, One of them was Mary Duffie Coppedge. We hated to see her leave but are glad to have Lillie Bryant to replace Mary Duffie. Mrs. O’Kelly has gone home for two weeks. We miss her very much but are glad to have Mrs. Marshall stay with us while she is gone. Louise Martin is back from the hospital from having her appen- dix removed, May Lynn Jones stuck a needle in her finger and got it infected. Tommie Rhyne, the Barnes, Jac- xie Williams, Gertie Smith, May Lynn Jones and Louise Martin have all had visits from their folks, Lorene Hall, Clyde Reid, Doug- las Davis and Lillie Bryant got a perfect attendance certificate. We are all very proud that they can attend school for eight months without being absent and without being tardy. Until next time goodbye. —The Babies.

As the years un- fold before you let me insist that you maintain steadfastly your con- sciousness of the dignity of hu- man persons. Let no onslaught of life’s foes take away from you that simple confidence, that abid- ing faith in yourself that shall en- able you to withstand against the besetting problems of our day.” In the second place, the Hender- son minister urged the Barium graduates to “give to your future and to your life, and through your life to the world, an invariable love for the truth. Ours is a world,” he said, “that takes de- light in thoroughly white-washing misery and in thoroughly misre- presenting a multitude of tnings to the distress of our own beings. Let me say that we must speak that which is noble, we must as- pire to that wifich is abiding in truth as the problems of our own | there is a sound principle of the love of iruth, there will invar- iably be utter distress and misery.” His final suggestion was that the seniors cultivate a capacity to meet, with the required courage, the life of faith and the life of dar- ing, preceding this assertion with the statement that the present world despises faith. He urged them to exercise an inner eye of faith, which would enable them to see visions that are not visible to the human eye. “As the days come to you and life unfolds before you, adhere to that simple belief that assures you glory and comfort pers, books, and games.

Hay, pastor of the Hickory Presbyter- ian church, In the_ evening Kev. Neill R. McGeachy, Spencer Presbyterian church pastor, urged | his hearers to anchor their lives to that of Jesus Christ as they launch forth upon the sea of college, or business or of matrimony. These two sermons, part of the 1539 commencement program, were listened to by the entire Orphan- age family and a good many out- siders, most ef whom were at Ba- rium Springs Monday night for final exercises. “Just now you graduates appear before God in a new and most sig- nificant way,” said Dr. Hay, after his exposition on the life of Moses and his use of the rod in his hand. “What is that in thine hand? Wili you humbly answer Him and let Him talk with you about it?” The Hickory pastor then touch- ed upon ten answers on the part of the graduates, and each of the answers, he said, could be either a roa or a serpent, depending upon tne use to which each individual put it. The first answer that a grad uate mignt give to that query, he said, was a diploma, which re- presented a great goal attained, something which had been com- pleted. Money was the second pos~ sible answer, and Dr. Hay spent some time upon this because “mon- ey will make or break you. All of us need to learn the mastery of money, for the making and spend- ing of money are serious tests of ability and character and are the fundamentals of a successful life. Wiil money be a rod or serpent in your hand?” Tools, toys, talent, a token, the cup, opportunity, a hand and my- self, were other answers mention- ed in answering the question. Books, typewriters, saws, hammers, a surgeon’s knife and many other things represented the tools that could be rightly used. In speaking of toys, Dr. Hay urged his hear- ers to combine some play with their experience present themselves. Un- ; Work but warned them not to make toys out of tools. He advised the graduates to have their talents always ready for use and asked them to always be ready to present the right kind of token, or card, which would indicate proper affiliations in life. He said that the cup re- presented one’s social habits and these habits, he contended, are det- initely either a rod or serpent. He warned that opportunities may not be long in hand, but that ad- vantage should be taken of them, and the hand that one holds in his or her hand is that of soneone who needs help, or the hand of a sweet- heart or life’s mate. His closing answer to the ques- tion was “myself.” “Often it is re- marked,” said the Hickory pas- tor, “ ‘he has himself well in hand’ for this or that crisis. That is what we have when we have achieved a well developed person- depends on whether God blesses and uses that which you have in your hand.” Young People’s Sermon Rev. Mr. McGeachy asked his congregation to think of them- selves as an ocean liner, setting sail for a sheltered wharf upon a sea where storms would be met, where cross-currents were always endeavoring to sweep one off the right course, and where treacher- ous reefs and shoals wait to wreck the ship. “Some of you,” he said, “will set sail upon the sea of college life. You have an idea that it will all be rosy and beautiful, with no des- pair or disillusionment to beset you.” However, he warned that a student in college will find men of many minds, some of whom would try to destroy the ideals inculcated in youth. “Some school mates,” he continued, “will tell you that you are an old fogey and will also tel] you that the first indiscretion of drinking or gambling is no great sin. You'll need something on that sea to hold you straight.” The next sea was that of bus- iness. Some people will try to tell you, said the speaker, that suc- cess is fine cars, money, power here and we can hardly wait to put awfully hot and the water would | certainly feel good. i sore feet, Mrs. Pat Johnston from Moores- We are looking forward to go- | ville brought us lots of funny pa-|May 11, 1939.

The success- ful man is the one who has an honest mind and soul. You're go- May 1939 ing to need to choose rightly or wreck your life on the sea of bus- iness.” He touched upon the sea of ma- trimony. “That sea,” he said, “looks to be the smocthest, the calmest, the most refreshing of all others, but even in the happiest of marriages, there comes a_ time when it seems that inevitable ship- wreck is ahead.” But to this and other tempestous seas an answer can be found in having an anchor. An anchor, said Mr. MeGeachy, is the last safety device. “I hear you saying that an anchor drags, it keeps you from moving, but there are times when you can move only with an anchor,” and cited an experience on the Nile River in Egypt when it was the use of an anchor that anabled a small boat to move. “There are times when only by being anchor- ed to Jesus Christ can we make any progress on the seas.” Class Day Exercises On Monday morning, April 24th, the senior class present- ed its class-day program in the form of a three-act play entitled, “Beyond the Port”. The setting was the deck of the good ship “S S Barium Springs”. The first scene was the embarking of the class of 1939 in the eighth grade almost four years ago; the second scene dealt with the discouragements that the class members were exper- lencing as the journey continued, while the closing scene was the disembarking of the class upon the completion of the journey. Just be- fore the members uekkcd down the gangplank, the Ancient Mari- ner, played by Nelson Farmer, gazed into the crystal ball and vis- ualized the future activities of each member, The characters and the parts played by each were: Prologue, Helen Price; Captain, Arthur Sig- mon; First Mate, Lee Spencer; Sailor, Robert Brown; Purser, Bobbie Bosworth; Senior, Worth Bolton; Radio Operator, Roland Gant; Chief Engineer, MacSherry Lackey; Captain’s Aide, J. D. Beshears; Ship’s Doctor, David Flowers; Ship’s Hostess, Ernes- tine Garrett; Stewardess, Eliza- beth Shropshire; Pauline, Helen Moore; Eleanor, Bessie Kennedy; Mary, Grace Shroyer; John, Paul McKenzie; Jean, Mildred Eudy; King Neptune, Miller Blue; Am- bassador, Dalma Jessup; Ancient Mariner, Nelson Farmer; Epilogue, Alice Jones. The properties were in charge of Larry Marlowe and Lacy Adcox and special effects were in charge of James Martin and Alexander Edwards. Elementary Program, On Friday night, April 21st, the elementary school presented an en- tertaining and delightful program in two parts. The first half of the program was an operetta by the primary department and the first, second and third grades participa- ted in this. The second division was entitled “Episodes in Ameri- can Music”. The sixth grade took ithe part of American Indians; the \fifth grade members were moun- jtaineers; the fourth grade _ por- trayed negroes and miscellaneous American music was sung by the seventh grade. Play Was Given. “What Happened to Jones” was the title of a comedy in three acts that was presented by the public speaking department of the high chool under the direction of George Neel. This was part of the graduating exercises and was of- fered to a packed house on Thurs- day night, April 20th. The three scenes were all laid in the New York home of “Prof. Ebenezer Goodly”, who was por- trayed by Nelson Farmer. “Pro- fessor Goodly” was a teacher of anatomy. The others in the cast included “Jones”, who traveled for a hymn-book house, David Flowers; “Rev. Antony Goodly, D. D.” bish- op of Ballaret, Miller Blue; “Richard Heatherly,” engaged to Marjorie, William Smith; “Thomas Holder”, a policeman, Henry Ales- sandrini; “William Bigbee”, an in- mate of the sanatorium, Ed Cole; “Henry Fuller”, superintendent of the sanatorium, Dalma Jessup; “Mrs. Goodly”, Ebenezer’s wife, Helen Price; “Cissy”, Ebenezer’s ward, Johnnie Burgin; “Marjorie” and “Minerva”, Ebenezer’s daugh- ters, Sally Farmer and Mariorie Lail; “Alvina Starlight”, Mrs. Goodly’s sister, Mary Ann McCor- mick, and “Helma”, a Swedish ser- vant-girl, Thelma Robards. Commencement Marshals Nancy Parcell was chief marshal for the 1939 commencement, and assisting her were Henry Ales- sandrini, Ed Cole, Rufus Long, William Smith, Clarence Robards, Walter Mott and John Cole Mc- Crimmon.

Used by Presbytery When the 1938 camping season finally came to an end, and Camp Fellowship ceased to exist, except in our memories, the farm crew kept the place in mind, and ail during the past winter, whenever there was an opportunity, this crew put in some work on the camp, with the final result that the 1939 season found Camp Fel- lowship a much more beautiful place than it was in ’38. The ra- vines that went through the camp grounds were fiiled up, the whole place was sowed down in grass, and every sprout or root that could possibly cause a stumped toe was dug out, and then just be- fore the camp season started, Mr. Ervin stained the buildings so that the whole place now has a settled, seasoned look about it that it did not have a year ago. When the camp was being built, the number of snakes that shewed up to view the proceedings was so enormous that fears were express- ed at the possibility and danger of their competing for the possession of the camp. However, these fears need not have existed, because when the snakes got one glimpse of those bustiverous boys and girls that occupied the camp at differ- ent times during the summer they promptly took their jittle ones and departed. They didn’t think that was a safe place for snakes! The other enemy that at first caused a lot of misgiving was a member of the vegetable kingdom —poison ivy. The camp was liter- ally overgrown with it, but a flock of sheep did such a good job in cleaning that up that the camp is really a safer place than the farm at Barium, as to poison ivy. Well, at the beginning of the 1939 season, the sheep had again cleared up the poiscn ivy, and the few snakes who had ventured back had seen the signs that a new camp was in preparation, so they de- parted, and everything was in ap- ple-pie order for the beginning of the season. The camp was officially opened on May 29th, and such an opening it was! The youngsters of Annie Louise and Synod, and the larger Baby Cottage children inaugurated the camping season. It was the jargest camp of the year, To give it a real camping touch and taste. the first meal was prepared by some real old-time campers, con- sisting of two items only: milk and egg toast. The egg toast was pre- pared by a crew of the larger boys, and was served in the casual mar- ‘ ner, that is, there was no all-get- (Continued On Page Three) Se MEMORIAL ‘ Barium Springs, N. ©.

Dangerous Rumor at Large In One of the Presbyteries! Be- lieved to Have Escaped During Orphanage Address at Presby- terial Meeting. One of the speakers on the Orphanage at bne of the Presbyterials is being quoted as having made the statement that Barium Springs is so full of Methodists and Baptists and children of other denominations that there isn’t room for Presbyterians here. We feel sure that this statement was the result of a misunderstanding, for whenever an appli- cation is made to the Orphanage, the first thing that is determined about it is whether or not it is a Presbyterian responsibility. If it appears to be more of a Baptist responsibility, it is immediately referred to the Baptist Orphanage, and if it is Methodist, it is referred to the Methodist Orphanage. Quite often it is difficult to determine just which Church has a greater responsibility toward a particular family. There have been times when we have accepted children from other denominations when the Orphanages of those denominations have been full and un- able to do anything about it at that time, and when the case was a real emergency. For that reason you will find a few children of other denominations in Barium, but we are rather ashamed to admit that you will probably find more Presbyterian children in the Orphanages of other denominations than you will find their children here, because we found the other Orphanages most generous in helping our Presbyterian families when we were unable to do so. : We think that most of the church members know something about our routine in accepting children. Whenever an application comes to us, the pastor of the church is always consulted, and. it is a rare case indeed that we ever accept a child or children without the urgent solicitation of the pastor and church. We turn down many more applications, even when the pastors and churches are urg- ing them, than we accept. And this brings up another thing: If anyone is able to find a Methodist or Baptist child at Barium, we guarantee that you will find that that child was urged on us by a perfectly good Presbyterian preacher and church. f Summing this all up, we are trying desperately hard at Barium to serve the children brought to our attention through oug churches, who are most in need of the services of this sort of an institution. It means that we quite often turn down cases not only where there seems to be a closer affiliation with some other Church, but also cases where there seems to be members of the family: who are able and willing to take care of the children. We can hardly understand how a rumor could live, blaming us for being too liberal in our policies of acceptance. Most of the letters of complaint that we get are blaming us for leaning too far in the other extreme: \Ve are too strict. we are told, in our policies of acceptance. ; If anybody comes in contact with this rumor, don’t hesitate to shoot it. plete outlaw, and really does have a price on its head. We feel that as long as this rumor is at large that many of our friends will feel jus- tified in lessening their support of the institution, and for that reason there is a decided price on the head of this dangerous animal.

Member. —Vass Was Second in Averages For the second consecutive year, Warrenton Sunday School and Kings Mountain Presbytery led the individual Sunday Schools of Synod and the Presbyteries, re- spectively, in per capita regular giving through the Sunday School alone. Warrenton Sunday School averaged $2.42 per member, and Kings Mountain Presbytery had a Sunday School average of $0.405 for each person affiliated with Sunday Schools in that Presbytery. Vass Sunday School was runner- up in individual Sunday School averages with $2.03 per person, and Concord Presbytery took sec- ond honors among that grouping with a per enrolled Sunday School member average of $0.315. Naturally, Warrenton and Vass led their respective Presbyteries of Granville and Fayetteville. Other Presbytery leaders in _ the Sunday Schools were Mayo Mis- sion in Albemarle; Concord First in Concord; Forest City in Kings Mountain; Albemarle in Mecklen- burg; Madison in Orange; Jackson- ville in Wilmington, and North Wilkesboro in Winston-Salem.

Therefore, the record is no deaths in a little over six years, and only one death in 13 years.

Of that sum, Sunday Schools were respon- sible for 55.1%, Church budgets, 26.7% and Auxiliaries, 18.2%. On the basis of money, this meant $3,484.63 from Sunday Schools, $1,- 684.25 from Church budgets and $1,150.84 from the Auxiliaries. In looking back over the record for the first three months of 1938- 1939, it is found that the giving of Sunday Schools is $264.12 more than in the same three months of last year, while the donations from Church budgets and Auxiliaries are less. Church budgets sent $264.03 less, with a decline of $86.50 in the giving of the Aux- iliaries. The regular distribution of in- come in all nine Presbyteries and according to the three main sources is as follows: Pres. Ch. Ss. S. Aux Albe. $ 93.44 $211.81 $186.89 Con. 311.83 623.98 127.90 Fay. 79.80 593.25 35.22 Gran. 113.59 132.46 71.06 K.

This is known because 872 differ- ent organizations helped last year, as compared with 847 the year before. Exactly 300 of the 520 North Carolina churches made budget ap- propriations to Barium Springs, and that was one more than m 1937-1938; 287 Auxiliaries had a part in 1938-1939, for an increase of 13, and 285 Sunday Schools reg- ularly helped, for an increase of 11. This increased number of o.- ganizations played a major factor ik THE B ‘$100 Sunday Schools | in Year of 1938-1939) | Sixty-one Sunday Schools in the | Synod regularly sent as much as | $100.00 to Barium Springs in 1938- 1939 (this is exclusive of any gift at Thanksgiving-time), and thus those 61 occupy a seat in the $190.00 Club at Barium Springs. In 1937-1988 there were 63 mem- bers in the $100.00 Club, which \was the largest number since an advocacy of this Club was made. | Three Sunday Schools were new- ‘comers. These were Highland and Lillington in Fayetteville Presby- tery and Mount Holly in Kings Mountain. However, five Sunday ‘Schools so classified last year failed to gain a seat in the past 12 \months, which offset the three new ones. Those failing out of the Club (it is hoped that this is only \temporary) were Goldsboro Sun- ‘day School in Albemarle Presby- tery; Sanford and Spray in Orange, and George W. Lee Mem- orial and Mocksville Sunday Schools in Winston-Salem Pres- bytery. | Winston-Salem First Sunday ‘School again led all others in the) total amount contributed, but was | closely pushed by Albemarle First, | |which jumped into second place last year by hurdling Concord | | First, Salisbury First and Greens-! | boro First, which were in the sec- | ond, third and fourth places, re- | spectively, in 1937-1938. The two top-notch Sunday Schools were in | the $500.00 Club, having sent more than $500.00 regularly in the past | 12 months. | Next month’s Messenger will probably carry a tabulation on the per capita giving of all 285 Sun- day Schools that regularly helped last year, and many of those in the $100.00 Club will be outranked by other Sunday Schools, which could not give $100.00 but are ahead on the basis of giving according to membership. The latter is the true | that, and the campers using the guide to the liberality of a Sunday School. Those 61 in the $100.00 Club in| 1938-1939, the membership of each | Sunday School and_ the amount contributed are as follows: Sunday School Mem. $500.00 Club Amount in the monetary increase that was | Winston-Salem Ist 935 $568.79 possible in the regular reports | Albernarle 351 511.53 from Synod.

The meal was an hour and a half long, and finally totaled up 800 slices of egg toast, and everybody was still happy. Close to a hundred children en- joyed the first week, and they were followed June 5 by the chil- dren of the Methodist Protestant Orphanage of High Point. This was their first visit to the camp, but it didn’t take them long to feel} at home there, and their week was over all too soon. The week of the 12th had no formal camp, but was used during the week as a Retreat for the of- ficers of the Young People’s League of Concord Presbytery. Then, on the week beginning June 19th, the Intermediate Con- ference of the Young People of Concord Presbytery held their con- ference there. From the report following this meeting, Camp Fel- lowship seems to have been as good a success from a Conference stand- point as it is purely recreational. On June 26th, the children. from the Junior Order Orphanage show- ed up. This was their second visit to the camp, and they felt at home from the start. The local Junior Order Lodges always seem to take a delight in this annual visit of their children, and love to show} them attention. This year, it re- sulted in a big picnic supper on the night of the 30th.

The fact that a particular friend saw fit to make a Thanksgiving Offering seven months ahead of time is the main factor in the increase, for with- out this $100.00 Thanksgiving re- sponse, Synod would have been $90.41 in arrears of last year’s to- tal on June 30th. June’s income was $295.12 ahead of receipts last June, with the $100.00 Thanksgiving Offering in- cluded. The regular receipts were therefore $195.12 more than_ in June, 1938.

To meet the minimum needs at Barium Springs in the first quar- ter a minimum of 30 cents per Presbyterian in the Synod was needed. The actual amount was 7.7 cents per Presbyterian in North Carolina. No Statistician nor high- finance man is needed to point out the situation now existing at Ba- rium Springs. That is obvious, and comment on this would be super- fluous. Giving by the Presbyteries ranges between 15.6 cents per member for Winston-Salem Pres- bytery, at the helm of the list. to 4.9 cents per person for Wil- mington Presbytery, which is to- day occupying the cellar birth. Sunday School Meals On July 3rd, the second camping crowd from Barium took over, and they are still claiming that they had the most fun and that thev were the best campers of all, But there’s a lot of argument about erounds at the present time insist | that they have the best camp, and all of this brings Camp Fellowship up to mid-season with another rec- ord of lots of fun, a minimum of accidents, and with prospects for many more happy days this sum- mer. Barium’s first camp was in charge of Miss Ann Fayssoux Tohnston, Miss Mary Turner, M3s«= Sadie Brandon, Mr. Harrv Bark- ley. and Gene Shannon. The sec- end camp was in charge of Miss Kate Taylor.

Miss Sadie Endy, and Miss Nellie Johnson Mr. Barkley and Gene Shannor. are permanent fixtures around the comp, being present at all the camps, both from Barium and oth- er orphanages. The schedule for the balance of the summer llines up as follows: The next two weeks, July 17th through the 29th, will be the Baptist camp from the Mills Home at Thomasville. Then July 31st through Au- gust 12th, two weeks for the Chlidren’s Home at Winston- Salem, Methodist. The final two weeks of the summer, Au- gust 14th through the 26th, will be for Barium Springs. And the the week commencing Aucust 28th has been reserved for a special group of alumni end college students. When the season is cver, some- thing like a thousand voung peo- ple will have enjoyed the privilege of this camp, with such ° small increase of their living ex- senses as to hardlv be noticeable.

The difference in the giving of the two years was $82.19. Sunday Schools every- where did their utmost in March to establish a new level, and they ,are to be commended that this was missed by such a slim sum. The record of Sunday School giving since 1933-1934 is as fol- lows: Year Amount 1933-1934 $13,466.42 1934-1935 15,594.03 1935-1936 16,490.62 1936-1937 18,458.19 1937-1938 18,780.42 1938-1939 18,698.32 What shall the figure be for 1939-1940? That answer will be known after next March 31st, but a prediction is made that the final amount for the year now under way is going to go well beyond the present high level that was estab- lished in 1937-1938.

During the month of June, $1,- 290.35 was received at Barium Springs from the Sunday Schools of the Synod, and during the first quarter of 1939-1940, $3,484.63 | has been sent to this Home from that source. That is an increase of $264.12 for the Sunday Schools, compared with April, May and June of 1938, which means 2,641 more meals that could be served | by the Sunday Schools, using 10 cents per meal as a basis. Sunday Schools started off slow- | ly in April by giving $21.50 less | than in April of 1988, but these organizations have been going strong in May and June. In May | an increase of $167.68 was shown | followed by an increase of $96.44 in June, for the net increase of $264.12 in the first quarter. During the past 27 months, the Sunday School Offerings would have served the following meals: |Month °37-'38 °38-'39 °39-'40 April 7,569 7,012 6,797 May 11,776 13,469 15,146 June 14,433 11,724 12,905 July 15,158 15.480 ?

Synod’s central committee long ago set September 8th as the time for its next meeting, and at the September conference more defin- ite plans will be made by this committee to see that every churrh has a local committee whose ob- jective will be to see that every member is given an opportunity to make a 1939 Thanksgiving Of- fering. A comparative table of the Thanksgiving Offerings made in 1937 and 1938 is already in the hands of the printer. This tabula- tion also shows the best Thanks- giving Offering made by the indi- vidual churches since the fall of 1925. Many churches make efforts continually to establish new Thanksgiving Offering peaks, and use these tabulations as a means of keeping the goal before their particular congregations. These are but some of the nv- merous things that are already been done at Barium Springs in order that the 1939 Thanksgiving Offering may continue to measure nn to the high level of a normal Thanksgiving response. By the middle of September it is hoped that the major portion of the de- tailed work at Barium Springs will heve been completed, paving the way for other duties prior to that very important season. | ge Four TH E BAR ie MESSENGER July 1939 ° , ese 71.75 | Salisbury 1st .

Not much of a lead, to be sure, but they are still ahead. The August, 1938, receipts were next to the lowest of any month of last year from Sunday Schools, but maybe it will be a different story in August of 1939. If it is, the Sunday Schools will go into a substantial lead again over the reports received at the Home through August 31, 1938.

This is the Julia Higgins | Cottage, and we have freshmen | and sophomores. Each and every one of the girls want you to know they appreciate your camp. We hope we left your camp in fine condition for we tried to clean up all of our things. We hope you and every one of your children are well and happy. | We send you and them our best | regards. Yours sincerely, Hilda Gibson. ao | From Charity and Children. | The boys from three cottages or about one hundred in number left early Monday morning for |\“Camp Fellowship” on the Cataw- |ba river.

Johnston and the Ba- rium Springs Orphanage. The camp belongs to Barium Springs but they give Mills Home the use of it each summer for two weeks. It is a well equipped camp in a beautiful grove on the river bank. We are under great obligations to our sister institution.

Adding this fine increase to the first quarter advantage of $9.59 gives Synod a positive fig- ure today of $119.85. "Twould have been wonderful if the increase could have been ten times as great as 1940, ‘but is very highly gratifying that this upsurge in giving could be observed during the past 31 days. While this was happening there was a considerable shakeup ir. the standing of the Presbyteries, as against the rating of the nine Presbyteries a month ago. Kings Mountain, Mecklenburg and Wil- mington Presbyteries held the spotlight in July. Kings Mountain and Mecklenburg Presbyteries ad- vanced two places in the standing, both of } hurtling Concord Presbytery 1ic dropped from third in June to fifth place in July. Wilmington emerged from the cel- lar position to go into seventh place, In so advancing, Fayette- ville and Granville Presbyteries were shoved down to eighth and ninth, respectively.

It was a very enjoyable day and a day that meant much to each of us as we became better acquainted with each other. Picnic lunch was served at noon) and we all ate so much of the, good things, such as fried chicken, yuntry ham, deviled eggs, sand- wiches, cakes, pies, ice tea, etc., that quilting was a little slow in the afternoon, When the quilts were finished, the auxiliary meet- ing was held. This was such a fine idea that I wan : that some other auxiliary will try the plan. You know our Orphan’s Home is just like our Homes and things like quilts will wear out. Think what it would mean if every auxiliary would do some one thing for Barium. Mrs. Raynal writes that she has visi ns of a new Alexander built in units to replace the old building.

Mrs. P P. McCain, of Sanatorium, president of Fayetteville Presby- terial, has set October 20th as the date when a pilgrimage will be made to Barium Springs by rep- resentatives from Churches in that Presbyterial. October 20th has therefore been marked down as another great day in the ex- periences of this Home, because of what it will mean at Barium Springs to have representatives from so many of the Fayetteville Churches here, Not only has Fayetteville Pres- byterial designated a certain date to visit Barium Springs, but the Auxiliaries in that Presbyterial are planning to have showers when sheets and spreads a n dj towels will be given for this Home. Furthermore, all of the special of-| ferings at the eight group confer- ences are to be given to Barium Springs this fall. These several things are indicative of gieat activ- ity in behalf of this Home in that territory during 1939-1940. This proposed pilgrimage con- forms to efforts being made by officials at Barium Springs to in- duce friends to visit the Home. These friends are coming. too. thick and fast and from all direc- tions. Nobody at Barium Springs has raised any objections to the frequency of these visits nor to the size of the delegations be- cause of what each visit means to the work here. Among groups visiting Barium Springs recently have been the Rockingham Young People, the Shelby Auxiliary, a Circle from Central Stee! Auxiliary, Monroe Auxiliary, Columbus Sunday School; Cherryville Young People, a delegation from the Hills and Dan River Churches, a Circle from Graham, a car load of folks from Raleigh, another from Durham, a group of ladies of Fayetteville Presbyterial en route home from Montreat,,a Wilmington party, the Orphanage Secretaries of Concord Presbyterial, all of the officers of | market, Orphanage Work Secretary Says Guest Writer: Mrs. W. H. Belk, Mecklenburg Orphanage Work Secretary. Dear Friends and Co-Workers: The month of September has often been designated as Loyalty Month. With vacation time over, and 1 truly hope you have had a most pleasant summer, we are now ready for the tasks ahead. With Loyalty month calling for devotion to our Savior, to His Church and to every activity of the Church, I trust that each of you will pledge your iove and loy- al support to the work of our Pres- byterian Orphanage in a very detinite manner. A trip to Barium Springs will prove very inspirational. If you have not been, I hope that you will plan to visit the Orphanage at an early date. Our Mecklenburg Presbyterial women have a keen interest in the work of Barium Springs, due to the fact that they are able to visit the Orphanage often since they live near this Ov- phans’ Home. As a special work, ir Mecklen- burg, the secretaries are person- ally asked to use their talent in assisting to raise the funds neces- sary for the education of several Barium Springs graduates, who are now in College. The co-opera- tion of the secretaries in this pro- ject has greatly encouraged Mr. Johnston. The following is quoted from the letter of Mrs. T. L. Fun- derburke, Sr., Secretary of the Or- phanage work at Matthews Aux- iliary: “Your plan to raise money for educational purposes is good-— and I’m hoping that we can help in this way. “You will be interested to know what happened to the dollar you sent me. I went to Leonard’s Hatchery and bought eighteen bar- red rock chicks. From those I dreamed of at least getting ten doliars this fall. But the chicks must not have been strong for now I only have five. And I usually have such good luck with my chicks. “Not to be outdone I asked the President of our Auxiliary if I might sponsor a curb market. “Most of our people responded beautifully. So from 4:00 to 6:00 p. m., one afternoon, we had the clearing $12.40. I am sending you five dollars and the rest has been sent to the treasurer of Barium Springs Orphanage.

C., September, 1939 “Layout” of Campus Is On Inside Pages Heretofore Unpublished Map of Campus and Buildings in This Messenger —_———ae_ __ For the first time in the history of this Home, insofar as officials here now can ascertain, a complete map of the “heart of Barium Springs” is today being published for public use. This is the center spread in this issue of The Barium Messenger. To F. A. Mutzberg, of Fort Bragg, goes inexpressible thanks, for it was his courtesy and kindness, his diligence and pa- tience, his personal visits to Ba- rium Springs on several occasions at his own expense, and a lot of hard work on the part of Mr. Mutz- | berg that the public can today be! given a concrete and positive idea of the size of Barium Springs. Not only has Mr. Mutzberg pre- pared this particular map of the buildings and their locations at Barium Springs, but he has also presented maps to Mr. Johnston, the superintendent, of the water, sewage, and steam lines on the place. He was instrumental, too, in getting maps of the Barium Spring properties from 15,000) feet in the air - maps that will, be valuable to the Home in a good} many ways. All of this work, too, has been done without entailing a single expenditure on the part of the Home. Each Auxiliary in the Synod of North Carolina will this fall be sent one of these “layouts” and ac- companying it will be pictures of the 15 main buildings at Barium Springs. With this map as a guide, the local Orphanage Secretary or President of «aie Auxiliary is urged to prepare a poster for her church, placing these 15 pictures on the poster just as they are ar- ranged on the campus at Barium Springs. This is expected to be of considerable value to those church- es in distantly located places, for the members of those churches seldom have an opportunity of visiting Barium. Of course, this “layout” does not show everything at Barium Springs. It would have taken one far too large. The dairy barns and auxiliary units are not on the map, several residendes could not be included, and neither does it show the barns and sheds on the back side of the campus. The prepara- tion of this was confined to a limited territory but it will give friends a good idea as_ to _the Home here. It also shows the high- way upon which Barium is located, distances to towns and indicates the underpasses through which the children go back and f rth, avoiding the necessity of crossing Giving of Synod Boomed In August ‘he road. | Sunday School Meals | Lots of cheers are due the Sun- day Schools of the North Carolina Synod for the increase of $652.82 in their giving over the total that had been received at Barium Springs through August 31st a year ago. Elsewhere in The Mes- senger it is revealed that Synod was $653.22 ahead, so the Sunday Schools have been responsible for all of that increase except forty cents. Obviously, a good many more meals were possible at Barium Springs with the responses of Sunday Schools last month. At ten cents per meal per child, the rec- ord of meals served for the past 'thank you, Mr. Sams. 9 months follow: Month '37-"38 °38-'39 39-7400 April 7,569 7,012 6,797 May 11,776 18,469 14,146 Tne 14.483 11,724 12.906 Tuly 15,158 15,480 13.40° August 12,999 11.449 17,404 Sent. 14,480 15,530 ?

In that $652.82 in crease is $101.00 of 1939 Thanks- giving Offering, giving a net reg- ular increase of $551.82. ‘Tis a genuine pleasure on the part of officials here to make this revela- tion to the Synod as a whole, and those responsible for this advance- ment should be mighty proud that their giving has made this dis- closure possible. Two men’s groups are respon- sible for $385.00 of that increase. A year ago the Men’s Club of the Myers Park Church was making no set contribution to Barium Springs. During August $250.00 of this year’s pledge was received Am’t. Total Per Received Mem. for Per Mem.

From the Men’s Bible Class of the Greensboro First Church came a special appropriation of $135.00, to be used here in the re- placing of beds in Alexander Cot- tage - an event happily took place in the early days of Sep- tember. A few more such occur- rences as these, and Barium Springs would be announcing an increase of thousands of dollars, instead of hundreds. Kings Mountain Presbytery has held the spotlight, covering the giving of the past two months. That Presbytery advanced from fifth placé in June to second place in August. Last month it was third, and going forward one place shifted Albemarle Presbytery back to third. Concord and Mecklenburg swapped places, Concord being fourth now and Mecklenbury fifth. All other five Presbyteries occu- pied the same positions. News From Some Of The Cottages BABY COTTAGE Hello Everybody! Can you beleive it?

Above is an architect’s drawing of how the four proposed cottages to replace Alexander Building will look when completed. The two structures on the left will be two-story affairs, with those on the right one-story buildings. These cottages will be smaller than any at Barium Springs nowadays and will lend themselves to a more homelike atmosphere for the occupants. When completed, Alexander Industrial Building can be eliminated as a dormitory and it will also give an increased capacity for approximately 35 children. It is estimated that the entire quadramgle will cost $40,000 to complete. It is hoped that ; the North Carolina Synodical at its Rutherfordton meeting this month will authorize the raising of $10,000. Another $10,000 seems virtually assured and ‘ officials at Barium Springs are hoping that other individuals will be found who would like to erect memorial buildings here to complete the quadrangle. Ba- rium Springs celebrates it semi-centennial in 1941 and every effort will be made to have these completed for that important half-century event in Barium’s Barium Springs Orphanage, Again I am_ addressing every | woman in North Carolina Synodi- ; eal Auxiliary.

It is an idea that occurred to me _ this spring that may be helpful to others in the same position that I am in and benefit your children. My mother died about a year and a half ago. She always loved carnations and on Mother’s Days I sent them to her. This year when Mother’s Day came I _ missed greatly being able to do something for her. Several days later as I was musing about it in my study the idea came to me that the best thing that I could do was take the money that I might have used for carnations and send it to you. I didn’t do it but in thinking over it since then I am convinced that I shall next year. What more beautiful thing could I do for one that showered me with so much love than let her have a part in caring for those who may not have such a Mother as mine? One day I mentioned the idea to a good friend of mine and he told me to write to you and tell you about it, that you might be able to use it. I feel sure that you will be glad to accept any such gifts and there may be others who would like to avail themselves of the privilege. If you should feel that there was something here to be used, I hope you will do so but please do not use my name. Your truly, see Se ali cele aes Treasurer, Barium Springs Orphanage, Barium Springs, N. C. Dear Sir: As a token of thanksgiving and not miraculous, recovery from a very serious illness by Mr. Julian 5. Johnson, one of its members, the Board of Deacons of the Raeford Church, at its last meeting, decid- ed to make an offering to Barium Springs Orphanage. The offering, joyfully made, amounted to $10.00, and a check for this amount is en- closed. Please notify Mr. Johnson of this expression of feeling on the part of his fellow deacons over his recovery. Yours very truly, M. C. DEW, Committee, Board of Deacons, Raeford Presbyteria:. Church. What a wonderful way to ex- press a genuine and _ heartfelt thankfulness over the recovery of a valuable and beloved member of that Board of Deacons. During his serious illness friends and lov- ed ones were in constant and faith- ful prayer for his recovery and most commendable is the fact that the members of the Board of Deacons wanted to give some ma- terial evidence of thankfulness. This recent action recalls to mind other thankful sums that have been giver to this Home in grate- fulness for the recovery of a dear member of the family. Several of these have been received here (Continued On Page Three) SE T S TE EE SA HS U P A PE R S EE T SE U EU S T A C E 2 FE ST o t e r et PR ot e eB ee r Kr to n s oo ee & & an of ah Oo t d d e e O ™ CF == = + ov Ss oe 5.

Believe it or not, the Synod of North Carolina has given Barium Springs $861.74 more in the first half of 19389-1940 than was for- warded to the Home in the initial six months of 1938-1939. On Au- gust 3ist, Synod was $653.22 ahead, which means a September gain of $208.52 over the Septem- ber, 1938, reports. That increase is divided between the regular and Thanksgiving income - $767.74 in the regular reports and $94.00 for Thanksgiving. A year ago only $10.00 of 1938 Thanksgiving Of- fering had been received at Ba- rium, but $104.00 of Thanksgiving Offering had reached the Home by September 30, 1939 as Thanks- giving donations or the approach- ing season. The Thanksgiving Offering re- port will be even better on Octo- ber 8ist, for in the early days of October other Thanksgiving sums had been received here - sums that ordinarily would not have reached Barium Springs unti] De- cember, but which were sent early to help the Home in its finances at this juncture. Those _ send- ing these Thanksgiving amounts in October noticed that pre-season Thanksgiving sums were extremely useful and valuable to officials. *Twould be wonderful if a good many others would adopt this plan and forward their Thanksgiving Offerings in October. They can be credited to any church designated. In the standing of Presbyteries only one change occurred in Sep- tember. Albemarle Presbytery went back to second place, displac- ing Kings Mountain Presbytery, which is now in third position. With that single exception, the lineup is the same as at the close of September. Albemarle and Orange Presby- teries are the only two that were not ahead in their per capita giv- ing as compared with September 30, 1938. Albemarle wee 4.4 cents behind and Orange, 1.5 cents. first five months of the fiscal year, The North Carolina Synod is expected to contribute $90,000 to Barium Springs in a year, but less than $13,000 had beer, received by August 31st. Thanksgiving offering plans came in for consideration, a de- tailed report being given to the governing body on the recent meeting of Synod’s Orphanage Committee, who assembled at Ba- rium Springs to make preliminary arrangements for the Thanksgiv- ing season when one-half of Syn- od’s total is contributed to the Orphanage.

Synod’s gain was a half-cent in the first half of the year. Orphanage Committee (Continued From Page One) dren this year, because of the ris- ing costs of food due to war con- ditions, and because the turnover of children has been greater since more have graduated and more have been taken into private homes. Last year the Thanksgiv- ing offering was $43,524, $400 shy of the previous year. The committee will promote the organization of local committees to do personal work in the church in raising funds.

In The Maiibag (Continued From Page Two) down throughout the years, the donors desiring te aid God’s work at the same time that they wanted to show a material expression of thankfulness to Him. ae In the early part of September, the Home here began receiving contributions from an unknown scurce, these always being listed as co \'ng from a_ friend. The name vo the donor of these succes- sive amounts was discovered and we promptly wrote a_ letter to voice appreciation and to assure the giver that the name would be kept secret. Since “the cat is out of the bag’’, as he later wrote, a very interesting exchange of let- ters have followed, as well as other gifts. In one of the letters was the following: If I related to you the things that have happened to me since my first dollar dona- tion to you, you wouldn’t be- lieve it, so I won’t teil. Later cn in another communi- esation he did mention several things that happened, because we had asked him to do so, and in, all of the letters there was a feeling of great joy that this assistance was being rendered Barium. One individual has experienced mani- fold blessings through helping this Home and in assisting God’s work in other ways, and we hope that others will experience kin- dred happiness and innate joy through helping in the support of the Orphanage family of 313 chil- ' Semi-Annual Session | (Continued From Page One) and Ernest Milton, resnectively, reviewed the work since last May, officers for the coming year.

Architects’ plans for four pro- posed cottages to replace Alexan- der building were on display, and plans for the erection of this quadrangle of buildings were in- formally discussed. It was point- ed out that the first of the four proposed buildings seems assured. Mr. Johnston’s report revealed that the population was now 313. with 42 children having been ac- cepted during the summer. This was a much larger than usual turnover in population. Except for the very serious illness of one boy at the present time, Mr. Johnston said that the health had _ been good. The turnover in staff in- cluded the replacement of three matrons and one person in the high school. The completion of th: fourth summer of major repair: led to Mr. Johnston’s statemer.t that “the Orphanage plant is ir hetter shape than in any time within the last six years.” The financial statement showed the home in a $600 better finan- sial condition than a year ago. with receipts following the usual dren. eighth- | tenths of a cent, and Wilmington, | |and Treasurer, Joseph B.

McLean, Richmond, Va., who delivered the same address at Mon- treat during the General Assem- bly. Home Missions showed 90 work- ers in 200 fields, with an increase in professions over last year of 734. For the fifth time Synod and the nine Presbyteries have paid their obligations in full.

There were present | 61 eligible to vote as delegates, and about 200 visitors. The out- standing item of the program was the decision to build one unit of the contemplated quadrangle at Barium Springs Orphans’ Home, This will cost about $10,000 and the entire project of four units will cost $40,000. Mrs C. E, Ray- nal, Auxiliary Secretary of the Orphans’ Home, says over 1,500 visitors are registered annually. J. B. Johnston, Superintendent of the Home, said the policy now was to accept only children as wards who cannot be kept at home by government funds, or adopted into foster homes. Concord Presbyter- jal, under the leadership of Mrs. A. Jones Yorke, a new Regent of the Home, has already pledged $1500 for the new building. Miss Louise Clanton, president of the Auxiliary presided at the meeting. The Auxiliary gave to all causes last year $195,546, of which $139,- 748 was for denominational _ be- nevolences, $48,831 to local causes, and $6,967 to miscellaneous.

Pittsboro, N. C. Proves Great Success October 20th was a most remark- able day at Barium Springs - re- markable because of the fact that 95 people, representing 19 differ- ent churches in Fayetteville Pres- bytery, were on the campus at this Home for a visit of several hours. The shortest distance that any car eame that day was in the neigh- borhood of 100 miles, while some of the visitors drove as much as 200 miles to reach Barium Springs, with a good many cars traveling 150 miles or more. Throughout Fayetteville Presby- terial this fall there had been linen showers in the eight different dis- tricts, and it was truly a veritable shower at the Orphanage when al- most every car arriving at Barium started unloading the things which had been given - almost 200 place of the} the season, which is the time for us % turn our hearts and prayers for the three hundred and thirteen fine girls and boys that we have in our care at Barium.

As American people have sat quictly in their homes and listened to the broadcasts, the subsequent comment and conjectures as to the future, perhaps the most frequent remark in those fireside circles has been, “How thankfui we are that we live in America.” As magazine articles recounting the cruelty that has been inflicted upon some minorities have been read and eye-witness accounts have been written of the privation suffered and the persecutions inflicted, that same utterance, “How thankful we are that we live in America” has been the invariable com- ment of thousands upon thousands of people. And, as people have gathered about in groups on busy business streets and also discussed the call to colors in some countries and have reflected upon the anguish and poignancy (Continued On Page Two) Yadkinville Church Is First to Go Over Top et ics To Yadkinville Church goes a double distinction in the 1939 Thanksgiving Offering.

Here are some things that will make all of Barium’s friends very thankful, even as they have been responsible for gladness in the hearts of officials here. Carthage Sunday School, in Fayetteville Presbytery, has adopted the fifth Sunday of- fering plan of helping Ba- rium Springs. The Young Men’s_ Bible Class of the Hamlet Sunday School, in Mecklenburg Pres- bytery, has voted to send Ba- rium Springs $1.00 every month. Fairfield Sunday Schocl, in Orange Presbytery, has adopt- ed the Offering-per-month plan and_ recently reported responses for three months. The Men’s Bible Class of the Lexington First Sunday School, in Winston-Salem Pres- bytery, has resumed its regu- lar monthly offerings to Ba- rium Springs. These “good news” items on regular viving to Barium Springs are the first that have appeared in The Messenger in several months, but it is the fond hope here that a similar article will appear in subse- quent issues of this paper as other organizations align themselves with the majority in a systematic plan of aiding this Home. ’ in the North Carolina Synod that gave a 1939 Thanksgiving Offering superior to the 1938 response and it is also the first church to establish a new 15- year peak in its Thanksgiving Offerings to Barium Springs! All of this happened on a Sunday in October when ap- proximately 25 people visited Barium Springs from Yadkin- ville, part of the Thanksgiving Offering of 1939 being tributed before they departed. The sum given (and more is to follow) was $25.50, which is 155% more than the $10.00 given by Yadkinville in 1938 and which substantially sur- passes the 14-year peak of $19.65, given away back yon- con- der in 192%. Since additional Thanksgiv- ing Offering is to be made by those who were unable to vis- it Barium Springs that day it means an even larger percen- tage of increase over last year’s offering and a further enhancement of the already splendid and new 15-year peak. How many other churches in the Synod are going to es- tablish new 15-year high-water marks in their 1989 Thanks- giving donations to Barium Springs?

There have been years, of course, when the thankful note was somewhat subdued, particularly in those war conflict when dear ones were away fighting and dying in battle, but as America approaches the 1939 : flower of America’s manhood 1s not er for devasting and obliterating periods Thanksgiving season, the being pres¢ nted as cannon fodd war machines. That manhood is in America today, proceeding in the usu- al tasks of daily business, daily living and daily pleasures. Truly, “How thankful we are”, should be upon the lips of the American people. While a particular day in the year is cele- brated as ‘Thanksgiving Day, yet in reality all of the 365 days are days in which thankfulness can be rendered for the many blessings that have been showered upon this country. Here in the Old North State, friends everywhere of every denomination are given a glorious opportunity to materially voice their thankfulness by making generous Thanksgiving Offerings for their respective Homes in which young boys and girls are being trained, are being given an opportunity in life and are being provided for with the necessities of human existence. Presbyterians in North Carolina have the parti- cular privilege of giving a personal Thanksgiving Offering to the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs. ‘This 1 privilege which has been existing for 47 years and within the next two or three weeks, the Presbyterians of this Synod over 87,000 of them - will be given an opportunity to make an offering, insofar as this can possibly be done in every one Southern i the 340 Churches in the largest Synod of the General Assembly. The Thanksgiving season of each year is of eminent im- portance to the Home at Barium Springs, for the magnitude of the giving in the Thanksgiving period is paramount to a successful year’s operation. It is an undeniable fact that one- half of the annual donations to Barium Springs are welcomed during the Thanksgiving season. It is an unfortunate cir- cumstance, in one respect, that the Home has to depend upon such a large portion of its contributions at one particular time; yet, in another respect, it is fortunate that this annual inten- <ive effort is made, because this Home at Barium Springs gives so many Presbyterians an outlet for the expression of their personal thanksgiving in the realization that their material manifestations of their thankfulness are going to play an ex- tremely vital part in the welfare of 313 boys and girls who have heen entrusted to the care and training of officials, matrons. teachers and other workers at Barium Springs. What a glorious opportunity presents itself to these 87,000 Presbyterians! What a privilege this is! What a tremendous pleasure will be yours when you make your Thanksgiving Of- fering! What a personal satisfaction you can experience in helping to take care of this big family! Unenmding joy, im- measurable happiness and innate satisfaction are some of the things that will accrue to those who give of their means and who will this year, as never before, give vent to their feeling of thankfulness that they are living in America. In this Thanksgiving season may all of the Presbyterians of North Carolina Synod experience a knowledge of the “beauty and sweetness” that their giving will help make possible as is so appropriately voiced in the poem “The Soul of a Child”: The Soul of a Child is the loveliest flower That grows in the garden of God. Its climb is from weakness to knowledge and prayer, To the sky from the clay and the clod. To beauty and sweetness it grows under care, Neglected, ‘tis ragged and wid. ‘Tis a plant that is tender, but wondrously rare— The sweet, wistful soul of a child! Be tender, O gardener, and give it its share Of moisture, of warmth, and of light. And let it not lack for thy painstaking care— BARIUM eS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS/_—_oso>0 awa SSS SS | News From Some Of The Cottages MESSE SYNOD'S COTTAGE Dear Friends, Here we are again to tell you of the events of the pa:t Circle No. 6 of M oresville sent us lots of jelly and funny papers.

November 1939 Se Presbyteries. Last year showed $267,866 for reports assembly’s causes, and $224,296 to Synod’s cause, a decrease of $46,000. There are 313 children in Synod’s Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs. Last year the church raised $88,- 474 to support the home and the farm, dairy and other sources of income were responsible for $46,- 380. Plans were made for an ade- quate Thanksgiving Offering, and stress laid on the monthly offer- ing from Sunday Schools. Rev. H. Maxcy Smith, Shang- hai, China, missionary for 28 years, said the war is attracting many more to Christianity on ac- count of the faithfulness of the missionaries, _ Statistics showed the following figures: Communicants in 540 churches, 86,929, with 871 minis- ters, 61 candidates, seven new churches organized and two dis- solved, Rev. E. B. Paisley presented the Assembly’s Training School, Rev. I. S. McElroy the Bible cause, Rev. H. H. Sweets Ministers’ An- nuity, Mr, Ernest J. Arnold, N. C. Council of Churches. Synod set Nov. 19 as the day to wind up giits to the Ministers’ Annuity Fund. Synod acknowledged with grati- tude that the Junior College at Maxton for Men is now free from debt, and authorized raising an en- dowment of $100,000. All colleges were reported as full of students. Synod Will Raise $10,000 (Continued From Page One) dairy boys at Barium, The executive committee pro- posed that the women raise $10,- 000 for the first unit at Barium Springs, opening _ the campaign next spring and finishing it by June 30, 1940. Mrs. C. E. Raynal of Statesville, secretary of Or- phans’ homes in the Auxiliary, in- troduced Mrs, A. Jones Yorke of Concord, a Regent of Barium Springs recently appointed by Syn- od, who has been the instigator of the new buildings. Mrs. Yorke told the women that Concord Pres- byterial! already had $1,500 sub- scribed to the new cottage, and she recited an original poem pre- senting the need of the Alexander Cottage boys. Mrs. Raynal said 360 Auxiliaries are taking marked interest in Ba- rium home, and that 273 give spec- ial gifts. The Auxiliary raised $19,- 907 last year for Barium Springs. She said there was an average of 150 visitors to the home each month. Joseph B. Johnston, superinten- dent of the home, spoke to the Auxiliary. He said that the home now takes as it wards children from underprivileged homes which cannot be aided by Government funds, homes where social condi- tions, sickness, and_ other handi- caps exist, The children of better homes. are adgpted by foster parents, he said. He pleaded for a liberal Thanksgiving offering next month. The above article written by Synod’s publicity clerk and which appeared in the state papers on the morning of October 20th was yead with gladness and rejoicing by everyone at Barium Springs, and particularly by the boys who now reside at Alexander Cottage. It was also pleasing to hundreds of friends who have visited Barium Springs within the past two or three years and recognized the des- perate need of this replacement. This has been reflected in com- ment in letters which have been received here since the Synodical voted to raise $10,000, beginning next January and concluding as early as possible after that time. As announced in the October is- sue of The Messenger, another one. of the proposed four units seems assured, and efforts will be made. within the next few months to get funds for the other two cottages to complete the quadrangle. Funds for these buildings are already reaching Barium Springs, even though Synodical’s recom- dation was that no emphasis be placed upon this until after the Thanksgiving Offering had been taken, in order that nothing would affect a generous response for Ba- rium Springs in the approaching Thanksgiving season, The major- ity of the gifts that have been re- ceived are from individuals, and the sum total in hand is now in the neighborhood of $650.00. After Thanksgiving, special emphasis will be placed upon this project for the 27,530 ladies affiliated with the. 408 Auxiliaries in the North Caro-. lina Synodical. _~ po n d Ce 3s ™D M em py ed be e t te e d ee t et ed Po t t et it tr ne t ft iy mn AS ig Sy 10 of or S- it. n- en. al ng as 1e. is- ne ns de. ret res ire ES, m- en. ild sa- ng or- re- ind ter sis for the ro- Page Three Clothing Outfits Hickory Ist Aux., Evening Circle.

So far this year we have had a good health record at our cottage —tThe Babies ————_——_< >> JENNIE GILMER Well, another month has rolled around and now it is time for some more news. It seems as if we sel- dom write amy news. Football is over now and we had a good season. We won five games, lost three and tied one. Rex Lewis, our captain, received honorable mention for all-state. We are now practicing basket- ball and wrestling. Our first game is December 12 with Cool Springs. We ought to have a pret- ty good season as we lost only ane man - Lee Spencer, center. We have a good bunch of boys to The girls should have a good team also, They lost only two and won the South Pied- mont Conference last year. Cap- tain Rex Lewis, Ed Cole, William Smith and Hugh Norman are the vc@rans on the first team. The boys have new basketball uni- forms. We have about fifteen. out for wrestling. Captain Jesse Weeks is expected to lead the team to vic- tory. We had won the state meet for the last five years, being beat- en by Greensboro 58 to 52 last year. We haven’t many experi- enced members on the savad. We have our first meet on the 19th of December with Durham, here. The ones who don’t go out for basket- ball or wrestling maior in ping- pong. We have the football ban- quet on Friday, December 15. starting since Christmas is around the corner, so if you notice a certain girl paying attention to you, don’t think you’re a Gable but remember that Christmas is iust around the corner. Watch out Dorton. John Irby McDonald seems to be a real hunter by all the rabbit hellows he has set in the woods, but I don’t remember seeing him with any rabbits. Arthur Roach and Henry Ales- sandrini attended the Orphanage Conference at Raleigh last week. They reported as having a nice time. Well, be expecting more news next month, We all hope for you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. —David Burney | December 12, 1939. noua se INFIRMARY It’s only a few days to Christ- mas and half of our school] year! gone.

Ray Lewis has been with us about three weeks. The generai health of the campus is very good. Mrs. Grier spent a few nights with us while Mr. Grier was away and we were very glad to have her. We had a_ nice Thanksgiving dinner and everyone enjoyed it. We thank all who helped in any way to make it possible for such a nice dinner. We had our Home-Coming Fri- day, December i, There were lots of old boys and girls who re- turned. Although it rained our boys’ spirit wasn’t dampened. We won the game 13 - 12. —Lillie McDonald ANNIE LOUISE Here we are again bringing you the news of the Annie Louise girls direct from them, It seems to us that we wrote you just a short time ago. We all had a nice Thanksgiving and happy Home-Coming. All of us enjoyed seeing all the old boys and girls who used to stay here with us. Our little kitten, Blackie, is get- ting along fine and said to tell you all hello. We will have a lot of birthdays this month and we all know each person will have a happy one. Christmas is just around the corner and we hope you will have a Merry Christmas. We know we will, You will hear from us next time —Annie Louise Girls Dec. 6, 1989. —_— HOWARD Dear Friends, It seems only last week that we last wrote you. We had Home-Coming last Fri- day. We beat Gastonia 13-12 fer the old-timers, We hope they en- joyed it as much as we did and also hope they will come again. Howard Cottage won second place on decorations for Home- Coming with Jennie Gilmer first. Boy! We sure worked hard for it. Christmas is just around the corner and are we glad. Miss Woods has left us and we miss her very much, We are glad to have Miss Moose to come and live with us in her place. Ernestine Baldwin, Mildred Mon- roe, and Lucille Stricklin got show tickets for the last month. Mary Ruth Gregory, one of our girls, had an operation for cross-eyes. She has straight eyes now. Janie Hall, Frances Bowles, Lil- lian Cranfill, Hannah Price, Toni DeLancey, Dudley and Mildred Monroe had isits from their peo- ples since we last wrote you. We went to the show about two weeks ago. Thanks a lot, Mr. Sams. It’s about time we quit and got got ready for school.

We gave a little program for Mrs. Veils’ circle in Mooresville. Then they gave us a party. We had a Christmas tree and all of us had a sack of candy on it. We were then served cake and ice cream. We get out of school the 21st for the Christmas holidays. We can hardly wait ‘til Christmas. Our Mooresville friends sent us We have many new “cases” ots of funnies and magazines.

We are all being good so Sarta Claus will come to see us all. Here is hoping you'll have a Merry Christmas and a Fappy, New Year. 1939 Football Season (Continued From Page One) Morernton. Rut the Barium team rose to supreme heichts that night. and the fina! score was Charlotte 7 - Barium 0. Roach. Lewis Cole, and Reshears did splendid work in the beckfield. And the line kept Charlotte bottled un the whole nicht. SALISBURY On October 6th we played Salisbury on | Stoan Fie'd And they gave Barium a com- plete fit. They sterted out rather uncer- | tainly but got stronger as the game went n. finslly scoring a touchdown. And the score sts at 6 to © in favor of Salis- bury unti’ th nme was all over but 5 minutes. [terium could push Salisbury about in the middie of the field, but cou'd net get the bell over the goo) lime. Just before the game ended, SaMsbury started vassing. And that is where Roarinm’s luck became effective. Howard Beshears intercepted one and ran it for 2 tonch- down. A few minutes later Roach inter- canted one and cerried it to the 6-yard line from which point it was pushed over. The final score Barium 14 - Salis- bury 6. When that geome was over we fe't ‘tke we had an overdose of luck. And as it_turned cut. we used up all our ‘luck that might have been used in the next game. CHILDREN'S HOME On the night of October 12th we jour- neyed to Winston-Salem to take on the Children’s Home team, feeling that we had some chance for victory. But on that night everything went wrong for Barium, and everything went right for the Childrenn’s Home, It was almost pke the Children of Israel crossing the Sea. The Methodists were the Children of Israel and Barium the Egyptians!

And a very dejected crew came back home to get their house in order for the rest of the season. In that game there were 11 men playing for Rarium, and 11 men and a bewitched foot- ba'l playing for Children’s Home! When Varium would kick, the ball would hit the ground and start going towards Ba- rium’s goal. When the Children’s Home would kick, the ball would travel toward Barium’s goal again. And the same way with fumbles and everything else. That bal! was determined to cross our goal line as many times as possible. HICKORY The following week-end at Hickory at nicht, Barium came back to life again. We knew that we were going up against a team that was as strong as the Chi'dren’'s Home, although they had suffered a de- feat several weeks earlier. But that was one night when Barium seemed to do everything right. And everything they at- tempted clicked! They took the ba!] on the kickoff and marched down the, field for 2 touchdown without giving it up. Ed Cole made the final 20 yards with a beautiful reverse off-tackle. Then Barium kicked off to Hickory, and Hickory took that ball right down the field for a touch- down without relinquishing it. Later on in the game a psss from Roach to Cole was another touchdown for Barium, And then right at the last of the game Hickory made a touchdown. But nobody completed any points-after. The final score was Ba- rium 12 - Hickory 12. This was a tie game with both teams happy! KANNAPOLIS A week later we were at Kannapolis at night. Barium went up against the aggregation that gave them their worst defeat in 1938. The teams seemed evenly matched. But a beautiful pass from Roach to Cole resulted in a touchdown for Ba- rium, with Lewis completing the point with a piace-kick. We eame home with a hard earned victory of 7 to 0. There were times when the Kannapolis team pushed Barium all over the field, but never near enough the goal to be dangerous. CONCORD After a week's rest Barium took on Con- cord in the afternoon at Concord. This was the first away-from-home game play- ed in daylight. Concord had a big strong team and Barium was distinct'y the un- derdog. To add to their troubles, on the very first play of the game (the kick-off in fact), Ed Cole was injured and had to be sent to the hospital. it turned out that his injury was nothing more serious than a broken nose. But for a time it looked like it might have been worse. The team was upset over the loss of this very im- portant member of our team, and for a time it looked like Concord would run over us. Barium rallied in the shadow of goal posts. And with Joe Ben Gibbs try- ing to make us forget the loss of Ed Cole, the team rose to a 13 to 0 victory over Concord. Every man on the team played such good bal! that it would be out of place to single any one man out as the hero of this encounter. The way those linesmen bottled up Allen, the triple- threater of Concord, and opened up ho'es for the backs to truck through makes us think of this game as the LINESMEN game. and yet the backfield played su- periative ball. LEXINGTON On November 17th Barium entertained the big team from Lexington, the team that has been victorious over every team they have gone up against in the confer- ence and out. Lexington is rated by most sports writers as the Number 1 high school team of the state. They are big, fast. and aggressive. Last year they de- feated Barium at Lexington 13 to 6. This year they came to Barium to make a& more impressive victory! But Barium. even with two of the best players on the bench, gave Lexington one busy afternoon. The final seore was Lexington 7, Barium 6. Put in the last quarter the Lexington coach and teem were so nervous that even the spectators lost weight. Barium kept Fihe bail in Lexington’s territory the en- tire last quarter. The forward passes were almacst good, but in their eagerness the boys froze up a little, and the game end- ed with a Lexington victory. ALBEMARLE On November 24th Barium went to Al- bemarle and played the last of the Con- ference games. Albemarle had previously been defeated by the Children’s Home only, and that by the margin of one touch- down. Albemarle was shy their best back in Mabry. Barium had their quar- terback Roach sitting on the bench. So the teams went into the fray on equal terms. On the ground A!'bemarle seemed to have the big advantage, but in the air Captain Rex Lewis’ passing to Huh Norman was the medicine that poisoned Albemarle. With the final result that Ba- rium came home the victor 12 to 0. In this game Ed Cole returned to the wars. He had a contraption over his face to protect his more-or-'ess sensitive nose. The first time he took the ball, he was tackled pretty hard. And when he found out that it didn’t hurt, he purely went to town in the rest of the game. He re- turned punts. he returned kick-offs, he ran with the ball. And one of the pret- tiest ins of the game would have been eredi to him except for the fact that the play was called off on a alt. exrried the ba'l 82 yards of I a teuchdown, but on the play someone w cuilty of holding. And that run doesn't go in the record book. Both of vur touchdowns were made from the same kind of pay. And in this game neither teuchdown had the point-sfter compieted. The final score, Barium 12 - Albemarle 0. GASTONIA On December Ist the final game of the season was played at Barium. Home-Com- ing Day! And Gastonia was the opposition. Thia turned out to be one of the best games played in high school circles this year. Gastonia came to Barium with a spotted record —- some games they had shown up well and others not so well. Barium expected to win this game. And before the game was two minutes old, it looked like Barium was going to have an essy time doing it. On the _ kick-off William Smith fumbled the ball and then gathered it up in his arms, and took out down the side-lines carrying it 43 yards—- and almost scoring a touchdown. Three plays later a pass from Roach to Norman aceounted for a teuchdown, It was a beautiful forward pass, exactly like those used against Albemarle. Lewis kicked the extra point. And then the team strolled back on the field to enjoy a pleasant afternoon and got a very rude surprise. yastonia woke up! And they disclosed the fact that they had two or three boys im their backfield who are going to be heard from later. Jordan, a_ pile-driving full- back who displayed the best kicking we have ever seen in high school circles this vear, Shepherd a boy who can carry that ball and pess and the harder you tackle him the harder he runs on the next play. Well to make a long story short: Before we had gotten to the middle of the 8rd quarter, Gastonia had scored 2 tcuchdowns. The first one was a beautifal forward-lateral with Armstrong carrying the ball to the 6 yard line, from which point Jordan carried it over in four plays. The second one was a 70-yard rup by Shepherd and was a eutback over tacke. And then Baruim realized that they had a good many chores to do if they were going to hold to the recerd of never having lost a game on Home-Com- ing Day. And they went to town, They would get that ball down to the 10-yard line and luse it. Gastonia would kick out. Then they wou'd get it back to the 10 or 20 yard line and lose it again. And that is the way it went up until the last few minutes of the game. When with the weather getting worse, the rain getting heavier, and the ball getting slicker, the inevitable happened. Jordan was just a little slow im getting off a kick. It was blocked by John Cole McCrimmon and re- covered in the end zone by William Smith. And there was the ballgame 13 to 12 iw favor of Barium. In this game, Rex Lewis, Howard Besheors, Ed Cole, Clarence Ro- bards, Henry Alessandrini, John Cole Mc- Crimmon, and William Smith played their last game for Barium, And all of these boys had a hand in bringing about vietory. It was McCrimmon’s blocking of the punt, Smith’s recovery, and Lewis’ kicking the extra point that gave Barium the game. VARSITY Barium 31, Morganton 0. Barium 0, Chariotte 7. Barium 14, Salisbury 6.

(To Be Continued) Charlotte Friend To Give (Continued From Page One) wanted to eliminate the Alexan- der Building as a dormitory, for the minutes of that governing board contain definite actions as far back as 1930. However, a cum- bersome indebtedness hindered ef- forts to raise money for construc- tion of new buildings, but with that indebtedness lifted the way was paved for a more concentrat- ed eifort to discontinue the use of a building in which boys were t ! temporarily placed in 1920, it has been said by a former member of the Board cf Regents. Should the ladies in the Pres- byterian Church of North Carolina be successful in raising their $10,- 000 within the next three or four months, then construction of two of the four proposed units will go forward this Spring. By that time, officials at the Orphanage hope that all of the $40,000 nec- essary will have been given ta complete the quadrangle. Monev from the Auxiliaries in Norte Carolina has already started ar- riving at Barium Springs, and it is believed here that the more than 27,000 ladies will carry through to completion their e?- forts to forward that sum to thie Home by the middle of April. When the building that this Charlotte friend is giving has bees constructed and the time arrives for naming the cottage it is be- lieved that he will then give of- ficials here permission to reveal his identity. Until that time, thor- sands of Presbyterian friends will rejoice that some unknown party has been generous enough to donate $10,000 for one of the much-needed buildings. “w e Ce = ew e Oo =o a a lm eh et et et a et oe PS PL , oe ee ee ee ee ee ee a ee ee oe ee l pe ee e ee ws ee d s — se 5 4 ws sy = \ Page Three Income Distribution No. Organizations On November 30th, the regular giving of Synod was $906.69 great- er than it was on the correspond- ing date of 1938, which was a big | they got to be mighty fast run- encouragement to Barium officials as they entered the all-important | around, Thanksgiving month, Sunday | Schools were responsible for an | increase of $715.81 in eight months, the Church budgets had | them punts, passes, blocking, and shown an increase of $365.10, with | interference.

The first prize was awarded to Jennie Gilmer Cottage and the second to Howard Cottage, with honorable mention to Synod’s Cottage. After dinner there was a meet- ing of the Alumni Association. In the absence of the president, Wil- liam Hudson, the meeting was called to order by Ann Fayssoux Johnston. The following officers were elected: President, Charlie Carriker, Winston-Salem. of the class of 1923; Vice-President, La- fayette Donaldson, Statesville, of ' | | } | | j the class of 1931; Secretary-treas- | urer, Lucile Burney, Barium Springs, of the class of 1937. The Thanksgiving contributions by the association total up to the time of | this writing $120.59. When Home-Coming Day originally started at Barium. the date was set near a legal holiday so that the more distant alumzi could utilize that holiday as part of the trip. But in recent years this has anveared to be more of a handicap rather than a help. So it is very likely that the 1940 Home- Coming Day will be set earlier in November, possibly November 1st. Although the attendance this year was smaller than usual, the enthusiasm if anything made up for what it lacked in numbers. A more enthusiastic and happier crowd could not have been brought together anywhere. And we might add that a better looking crowd couldn’t have been assembled to- gether anywhere. We are led to make this statement by the re- marks overheard among some visi- tors that we had on Home-Coming was Day who were not in any way eonnected with Barinm Springs.

All Dick ever got out of this was a fountain pen presented by the hovs at one | of the very first banquets. Dick still has this pen and showed it to the assembly as something that would stick by him the rest of his days. Lawrence Spearman represented his remarks by sayine that ae had saved his own life bv cutting his speech short! And he would| try to emulate him.

S. Meals Since the Sunday Schools were $715.81 ahead of ing on November that members of organiza- tions have been responsible for 7,158 more meals in eight months at ten cents per meal per child. The following shows how many meals could have been served the Sunday School responses in the past 32 months: | 0th, Lhose it means 1irmly as the favorite at Barium that he doesn’t have to waste any | Rev, Tom Cook wound up the speeches with a series of “Toasts” and “Roasts”, This was handled as only Tom Cook can handle a thing of this kind, His triendly wit embraced so many of those present and in such a good humer- Aux, | 4 way that the rest of the guests $ 293.10 $ 661.97 $547.15 | Were really hoping they would be included in his remarks. The letters to the 85-pound team were presented by Ralph Spencer, one of Barium’s most outstanding athletes and now an employee of the home. It happens that most of the 85-pound players are under his | direct supervision in their dairy duties at Barium. Ed Flowers, another athlete of Barium, delivered the letters to the 100-pound team. The letters to the 125-pound team were presented by Jim John- ston, a boy who played on all four weight teams while at Barium. The Varsity lc tters were preser- ted by David Spencer, one of Ba- rium’s outstanding athletes now a regular on the Davidson varsity. At the completion of these, the toastmaster gave something of Ba- rium’s record for the past year and the schedule for 1940, A com- plimentary letter was given to John Lewis, the captain ot the 1928 85-pound team, who has been an invalid since last summer and still unable to even attend the banquet. The letter was awarded because of this lad’s courage and patience under a most painful and danger- ous disease. Complimentary remarks were made about the spirit and courage of the Barium teams, which was shown in every game of the 1939 season. And to the coaches for their skillful preparation for each game on a hard and long schedule. Mr. Frank L, Johnson presented $15 to Rex Lewis, who was voted by his team mates and coach- es as the mosi valuable meniher of the Barium team. Mr. Johnson presented $10 to Ed Cole, voted the second most valuable member. The Blocking Meda! was award- ed to Howard Beshears.
