This will be the first building | erected in memory of the late Mr. | and Mrs. J. W. Cannon who, dur- ing their lifetimes, were great benefactors. the Home at Barium Springs having been recipients of substantial gifts from beth of them. Mrs. Blair’s decision this month to give a cottage in memory of her parents followed closely on the heels of a $500.00 gift which she sent to Barium Springs in De- cember as a Christmas gift in memory of her father and mother. Mrs. Blair is a native of Concord but has been making her home in the national capitol for a good many years, All four cottages of the quad- rangle are now definitely assured. and at a meeting of the Finance Committee, scheduled for January 27th, contracts for the construc- tion of them will be let. (This meeting will have been held by the time The Messenger js de- livered and a public announcement will have been made of the let- ting of contracts.) In addition to Mrs. Blair’s gift, a Charlotte friend has given one building, other friends have given | a cottage in memory of | mother, and the ladies of the North Carolina Synodical raised over $10,000 for another cottage last spring and summer. hold a of Wash arium Springs in memory te Mr. and Mrs. J.

In each one wil] be an | apartment for workers at Barium Springs. Construction of cottages will equalize space for girls and boys at Barium Springs, for at present the Home here is equipped to take care of more girls than boys. It will also elim- inate the present Alexander build- ing, which structure has needed to be replaced for some time. In addition to these gifts for | the buildings, $1,400.00 has been given to Barium Springs to fur- nish bedrooms and living rooms in the two structures. Mr. John- ston estimated that it would cost $100 to furnish a bedroom and $200 for a living room. Two liv- ing rooms and ten bedrooms have already been provided, most of them to be in the form of memorials, Christmas of 1940 The cottage news this month is crammed full of thanks from the children for the great Christmas season of 1940.

The month of Decem- ber, 1940, followed the usual pat- | tern, for $40,296.56 was received from Synod in December - $36,- 667.30 of which was Thanksgiving Offering and $3,629.26 as regular donations. In nine months, Barium Springs has received $66,746.24 from Syn- od - $39,790.91 of the total being classified as Thanksgiving Of- fering and $26,955.33 as regular gifts for the first three-fourths of the Church year. This was $2,- 223.86 more than had been posted | on the books here a year ago, for the regular contributions were $606.57 ahead and the Thanksgiv- ing Offering $1,617.29 ahead. While the Thanksgiving Offer- ing was out in front to the extent of $1,617.29 on December 31st that cannot be interpretted to mean that there will be a 1940 Thanks- giving Offering increase. It was because some churches reported Thanksgiving Offerings last De- cember, whereas it was in Janu- ary of 1940 before their 1939 Thanksgiving donations reached Barium Springs, As a matter of | fact, it seems to be a_ positive) fact that the fina} Thanksgiving | total is going to be less than in | 1939, unless some unusually large | Am’t Tota) Per Thanks- Received Mem. for giving Per Mem.

However, every sort of encour- agement can be rightly taken from the regular increase which, if it continues on a parity basis in the last three months, is go- ing to offset whatever decrease occurs in the Thanksgiving Of- | fering. After all, officials at Ba- rium Springs much prefer the larger month-by-month giving be- cause of its usefulness in the all- year operation of the Home, It may be that the final regular amount wil] be slightly greater than the 1940 Thanksgiving Of- fering, which was not true in 1939-1940, The Thanksgiving sums which had been received at Barium Springs on December 3lst from nine Presbyteries and the amount of the 1939 fina) aggregates are as follows: 1940 to 1939 Presbytery Dec. 31, 1940 Final Albemarle $1,472.24 $ 2,005.44 Concord 9,149.55 10,947.21 Fayetteville 2,556.81 3,799.74 Granville 2,486.46 2,641.29 Kings Mtn. 3,292.05 3,515.88 Mecklenburg 8,470.06 9,838.47 Orange 7,388.35 8,119.92 Wilmington 1,683.72 1,874.78 W.-Salem 3,291.67 3,448.41 Totals $39,790.91 $46,191.14 ages that were awaiting the cru- cial time for distribution to the various cottages for their indivi- dual] trees. They would have been happy to know that the Barium children were going to have a great Christmas. In addition to the trees in each cottage, a special fund to be used at Christmas made possible a cen- tral tree for everybody at the auditorium this year. Only a couple of children, who happened to be ill, failed to be on hand on Christ- mas Eve for this tree. Christmas carols were sung and then former Barium boys who are now at col- | lege and who were home (this is home for them, you knew) for the | holidays started calling out names |} that were on over 300 boxes. Each | box contained fruit, candy, nuts and raisins and what a scene it was for more than 300 children to get individual boxes of these edibles. It took a long, long time to give them all out, and in the hub-dub, those acting as “Santa Claus” had difficulty in making themselves heard as other names were called out. { After every person had thei _ box Mr. Johnston announced that \there was yet a matter that need- ed to be attended te before ad- journment. He then revealed that the management of the three | theatres in Statesville was giving jeach child at Barium Springs six | tickets two the Playhouse, two for the State Theatre and two for the Crescent. The applause was for long, loud and lusty. When the noise subsided, the children came forward in cottage groups and each one received an_ enve lope with six tickets in it.

To Mrs. J. B. Johnston in the loss of a brother who died in a Columbia, S. C. hospital in December after an extended ill- ness. To Mrs. Ralph Spencer in the loss of her father who died in Mooresville in December. To Miss Ella Mae Burgess in the loss of a brother who died in an automobile accident near Asheboro in the early part of January. To J. H.

Such a lighted tree has never been at Barium, and folk around here were glad that a special fund for these two purposes was available. The mon- ey that had been given took care of all expenses involved in fixing the tree and in operating it. Christmas packages started ar- riving some ten days before Christmas and they came from all directions and by all means of transportation. Some came. by motor express, Uncle Sam deliver- ed the bulk of them and others were brought here by individuals. Many organizations and _indivi- duals had taken the Santa Claus letters of the children and an- swered them. Clothing people sent gifts to the children in which they were particularly interested. Quite a few organizations wanted the names of children who might net get as much as others, so that some extra gifts could be sent to these boys and girls. Other or- ganizations wanted the names of all individuals in certain cottages so that each person could get an extra gift. It was a “sight to be- hold” to see all of the packages stacked in one room, and before it was over, some of the packages had to be moved out to make way for other packages to be recorded and classified according to cot- tages. This was a large one filled with Christmas lights and which at- tracted considerable attention from those who passed by and which made the campus at Barium very Christmasy. This tree Was also | possible through that special fund that resulted in the boxes of fruit, ete. An investment was made in lights of many colors, a Elsewhere in The Messenger official thanks are expressed, | and the cottage news voices ap- | preciation, but these sidelights of Christmas could not be ended with- out expressing gratefulness again | to those hundreds who participated in the grand Christmas of 1940 for the children in this Home. News From Some Of The Cottages WOMAN’S BUILDING This is Woman’s Building, bring- ing you the latest news and gossip, hot off the campus. The Barium Tornadoes. beat Kannapolis’ Little Wonders a double-header. The scores were 27-11 (girls), 48-26 (boys). Barium girls played Mitch- ell College a practice game and were defeated by the score of 31- 24. The boys played Lexington and were defeated 40-29. The teams go to Spencer tonight and we hope that when they return they bring back the bacon. Since this is the first news after Christmas and the New year, we hope you had a nice Christmas and a Happy New Year. We all did and several went away during the holidays. Sara Parcell went to Cleveland, Glenn Linsday to Char- lotte, Lillie McDonald to St. Pauls, Louise Martin to Winston-Salem Mary Adams_ to Robersonville, Mae and Mabel Shoaf to Winston- Salem, Margie Lail to Morgan- ton, Elizabeth Robards to High Point, and Mary Ann McCormick to Gastonia. We want to thank Mr. Sams for the tickets he gave to everyone at Barium, and we want to thank Mr. Carter for inviting us to the show. We sure did enjoy it. We saw in a Charlotte paper where 100 children were invited to the theater for a Christmas treat. Mr. Carter invites us at least once a A great occasion was the 8th of January, when four “great” people were celebrating their birthday. Ruth Cole, secretary Lucille Burney, coach Harry Bark- ley, and treasurer Ernest Milton. The party they “didn’t” have was wonderful. _ The Virginia Hall Mission Band is planning a_ social Saturday afternoon. The generous hostess, Sara Parcell, will serve tooth- picks, water and a paper napkin. Everyone is cordially invited (to stay at home.) Jo Jo, foggy weather beauty salon presents the weather fore- cast: Snow or rain. Tune in next month and we'll tell you which. Incidentally, Daisy Cayton got a permanent at this beauty salon, and is it “stringy”, oh, I mean lovely. At last “Pearly Gates” Hooten has settled down, and the lucky one was none other than Betty Whittle. What happened, Jerry? Grover Ingram has finally got- ten his blonde. His choice was Jean Fletcher. Where did Mary Ann McCor- mick get that lovely bracelet she’s been wearing? Could Santa have brought it to her or did Red? Why does Flora Mae Newnam go around singing “Time On My Arm”, instead of “Time On My Hands”. We wonder if she’s wanting to show off her watch or is she just being in style? Sallie Farmer certainly was month all year ’round. Aren’t we lucky to have him for a friend? lonesome last Saturday. Could it be because Davidson had a wrest- ling meet at Carolina? Geraldine Blue goes around singing “Willie, Willie, Willie”. Could it be that it is her favorite song or her boy friend’s name? Glenn Linsday likes to go to the show. She aiso likes the chaf- feur, Mary Johnson claims to be Uncle Sam’s niece. Could it be because of the navy? Ruth Cole also likes the navy, because she was heard whistling “Anchors Aweigh”. Lillie McDonald says its thie army for her, (Say, Lillie, that’s a pretty locket you have.) Emma Eudy always keeps her fingernails fixed. (Hey, Emma, what kind of a fingernail set was that you received Christmas ? ) Evelyn Coppedge always _re- ceives letters from Davidson Col- lege. Could it be “Jeep” or Hi Yi? We won't keep you in su- spense, so We wil] tell you next month, Why does Sarah Parcell like to go to airplane pictures. Could she be hunting for her brother or a friend? Margie Lail bas been deciding which is the best, the picture of Errol Flynn or oh! I just can’t think of his name, but when I find out who it is I'll teil you. Mabel Shoaf must have been a good girl during 1940 because Santa certainly was good to her. Or was it Santa? Virginia Cranfill still says her heart belongs to Daddy. But we know better because Daddy does- n’t go to Erskine and Al Smith does. Myrtle Mills used to sing “I’m Nobody’s Sweetheart’, but now she sings “Billy”. Flora Mae Smith certainly has taken an interest in basketball this year. Could it be she likes the game or a player? Louise Martin still likes to hear “Shave and a Haircut” played on the piano (confidentially, it’s not on the piano, it’s on the horn of a 39 Ford). Whose the girl we see wearing a new piece of jewelry since Christmas? Could it be Mae Shoaf? Ask Henry, he ought to know. Well, we’d better close now be- cause time is passing and we must be on our way, but while we are sitting nie writing the news, we hear the roar of cars and trucks passing instead of bombs and are we glad. See you next month, we hope. Your Messenger Reporters. —“‘Sully” Ann McCormick. — “Flossie” Mae Newnam. LEE’S COTTAGE. Christmas is one of the hap- piest times at Barium, and this one was the best we have ever had. Our friends were so good to us. We received many gifts. Some of them did not have complete ad- dresses and we cannot write and thank the ones who sent them, so We want to say “thank you” to all who sent gifts for us. We had our tree as usual early Christmas morning, and we had twin Santa’s, Jack and Tom Mc- Call. We found that was-~a good idea as we did not have to wait long for our packages. Mr. Sams gave us many hours of fun when he presented us with six picture show tickets. A number of us had visits from relatives during the holidays. The basketball season is on now. We are looking forward to a good season, Bobby Whittle and _ Richard Shoaf are out for wrestling. The rest of us are out for basketball. The Intermediate Christian En- deavorers had their Christmas party in our cottage. The sitting room was decorated very pretty. There were about seventy boys and girls present. Mrs. Jackins, our sponsor, directed the games, and we had lots of fun. School started December 31st and now we are on the last half of the term. We have made some New Year’s resolutions and are going to try to keep them. A number of our boys and girls who are away at college spent the holidays with us. We are always glad to see them. ANNIE LOUISE, Good Old Santa was terriffic to us this Christmas, but in case you don’t understand what _ terriffic means, it means he was as good as he could be and he couldn’t possibly have been better. Each one of the girls received a Christmas card and handker- chief from friends in Mooresville. We appreciate them so much, All of us enjoyed getting our Christ- mas mail. January 1941 In January we have one little girl to go to the birthday table and she is Jeane Steppe, but be- | fore the year is over We will all ' be going. We want to thank Mr. Sams for all the show tickets he gave us for a Christmas present. He couldn’t have thought of anything better to give us. Thanks again. Gwendolyn Landrum, Helen Morgan, Sadie Cauthen, Nellie Isenhour, Essie Jean Lee, and Sa- rah Bradshaw had vyisits from their people during the Christmas holidays. We had a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve at the auditorium, Each child received a box of can- dy, fruit, nuts and raisins. We had a beautiful Christmas tree on the campus which was lighted every might during the holidays. We all enjoyed it so much that we hated to see them take the lights off. Some of our friends brought us large bags of oranges and lots of candy and nuts. If we didn’t thank you in person, here are our thanks written on paper. Miss Carpenter weighed and measured us not long ago and we sure have done a lot of growing in height and gaining in weight in the past year. Be sure and look for us next month, —Annie Louise Girls. BABY COTTAGE. We wish all our friends a “Hap- py New Year”. We had just finished thanking the Steele Creek Presbyterian Church members for the nice chicken dinner they gave us at Thanksgiving when here comes Santa Claus! ! ! Dwight Reid wants to thank his many friends for sending so many nice gifts. The boys at Baby Cottage want to thank the Women’s Auxiliary of the First Presbyterian Church at Winston-Salem for Christmas greetings. Mack Wicker wants to thank Mrs. R. E. Johnson for the nice sweater she sent. Another little boy wishes to thank Mrs. William Thomas for the nice things she sent him. Thanks are due the Circle 7, First Presbyterian Church of Charlotte and to the Business Wo- men’s Circle of First Church at Mooresville, both of whom sent boxes of toys with which we en- joy playing. Edward Traywick wants to thank Mrs. C. H. Sloan of Bel- mont for the funny papers she sends regularly. Mack Wicker thanks Johnny Ray and Dickey Ray for the Christmas gifts. Jerry Ennis thanks A. M. Buie and Joe Slean for Christmas re- membrances. He also wants to thank Mary Elizabeth Williams and all other friends who sent him Christmas gifts. Deryl Overeash thanks all his good friends for remembering him at Christmas. Richard Vest thanks his friends for the nice box of clothing they sent, Since we wrote you last we have a new little boy at our cot- tage. He is Johnny Coilins’ and is 2% years old. He’s the baby of the Home now. We enjoyed a visit from Mack Wicker’s Aunt Callie Battley and want to thank her for the balloons she sent. We had a good time with them. All of us babies and ovr ma- trons want to thank Mr. Sams for the show tickets he gave us for Christmas. We enjoy going to the show very much. —The Babies. ALEXANDER COTTAGE. Our Christmas was the best we have ever had. We wish to thank all our our friends who brought us so much happiness. So many of of our Santa Claus packages did not have names so we cannot write to you but to all we say “Thank you”. The cakes. sent by the Hickory Auxiliary, the Laurinburg Auxili- ary and the Waldensian Bakery have been enjoyed by all in the dining room during the holiday season, Some friends sent a bottle of Vick’s Drops for each boy. We thank you. Not one boy in our family has been ill in such a long time. We feel like knocking on wood! A. C. Gant has gone home to live with his mother. We miss him but hope he will be happy. We are ail so happy that our “Daddy” Johnston with Mrs. Johnston, their daughter, Leila, and son, Bob, could see the Blue and Gray and Sugar Bowl football games and visit their son, Dr. cee CHATTY CHAT ani by Britt LinDSEY 5 “Press time again”! The more news We get the quicker the month goes, but what’s the difference its gotta go, so it goes. Here goes a new column for you “brain stormers” like me. “Well! well”! Ole Stricklin has finally set- tled down; she’s Dorothy Gibbs, I think, I under-esti- mated Rowland Hooten’s ability. He’s a real la- dies’ man, so thinks Betty Whittle. I saw a rumor running around, so I caught it and here it is. A Bill Lindsey certain Beulah Baldwin has been caught in the charms of Paul Burney, our one and only “glamour” boy. Your guess is as good as mine of Fletcher’s new heart {throb. He’s buried the hatchet on that one in Statesville, and your guess is as good as mine as to who he’s got now. The presses are_ steaming hot over the great Dorton-Stafford wrestling match which went off Jan, 13. Dorton was the winner by a decision over Stafford. A boy in Statesville has gone crazy over Mary Ann McCormick. Anyway, he is a star basketball player and the address is “Brook- dale”. Could it be true that Grover In- gram finally hooked Jean Fletch- er? Umm—could be. (I quote a friend—J. F.) My ideal boy of the month would have—the hair of “Weary” Staf- ford, the eyes of “Jap” Smith, the complexion of Elwood Carter, the physic of “Shadow” McKenzie, and the ability of Art Roach. I can’t think of anything on Da- vid Burney, so until] next month, I would like to leave you with this thought in mind— The rains may come, the winds may blow, But as for the news, Lindsey will know. I remain your B. S. correspon- dent, leaving you with columns of luck. Joseph Johnston, in New Orleans. We hope that we may soon be able to tell you the new buildings have been started. We are getting so anxious, We are all smiles at the dairy. The latest addition to our herd is a registered Bull Calf, gift from the Lyndale Dairy in High Point. As yet we do not know his name. We are waiting patiently for his registration papers to come back. But we do say he is a beauty. Carl Ferguson cares for im. John Hawley and Hervey Strick- lin go out for wrestling. The rest of us play basketball. So you folks can guess just how busy We are, as our cows never take a holiday. SYNOD’S COTTAGE Old Santa has come and gone. We hope he was as good to you as he was to us. We; appreciate so much all the nice things that were done for us. It rained Christmas and we could not skate, but we had a good time playing in our playhouse with our other toys. We want to thank Mr. Sams for our picture show tickets. He never forgets us, School has started again. We (Continued On Page ) Honor Roll For Second Quarter Grade—Peggy Joyce Land. Second—Mabe] Milton, Lucille Stinson, Elsie Vest, Rebecca Wil- liams.

George Cauthen had a nice visit from his mother. Lots of our boys had visitors during Christmas. We want to thank the ladies in the Mooresville First Church for all the nice packages they sent us. We surely did enjoy the candy Mr. and Mrs. Pat Johnston sent us. Orphanage Work Secretary (Continued From Page One) crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal souls, if we imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and love of fel- lowmen, We engrave on these tab- lets something which wij] bright- en_all eternity.” Planning and effort are neces- sary to achievement. The more carefully we make our plans and the greater our determination to carry them out the more certain we are to reach our goal. So let us plan to visit Barium as often as We can. Keep Barium before the women of the church and con- tribute as liberal as we can to the work of Barium. Keep informed of the needs of Barium. Whatever we may seek to ac- complish during the year that lies before us, We must not leave God out. If during the coming year we seek to know and do His will, We can be assured that His bless- ing will attend us. May we each one make _ this poem “A New Year’s Motto” our motto: I asked the New Year for some motto sweet, Some rule of life with which to guide my feet: I asked and paused. He answered soft and low: “God’s will to know.” “Will knowledge then suffice, New Year?” I cried. And ere the question into silence died The answer came, “Nay, but remember, too, God’s will to do.” Once more I asked: “Is there no more to tell?” Aah cove again the answer softly “Yes, this one thing, all other things above, God’s will to love.” (Mrs. C. I.) Janie J. Loftin THANK YOU Hundreds of people, many organizations and a_ good many business firms partici- pated in making the 1940 Christmas season a great and happy one for the _ several hundred children at Barium Springs. A listing of the thousand or more different packages received, extra gifts for the children, etc. would require a considerable part of The Messenger and jn the rush of the Christmas sea- son some one’s name might be inadvertently omitted. Fol- lowing the policy in vogue for years, no attempt is made to record any of these Christ- mas donations in The Messen- ger, but these brief words of thanks are designed to include every one who had even the tiniest part in bringing cheer and joy to the lives of the chil- dren at Barium Springs. It makes officials here glad that the Christmas spirit of giving is so wonderfully reflected in a marvelous participation by hundreds of people. These of- ficial] thanks could be aug- mented a thousand-fold by the boys and girls of Barium Springs. Clothing Boxes Mebane S. S., The Covenanters’ B. C. Ellerbe S. S.

At long last, the temporary use of Alexander Building as a dor- mitory since 1920 (that’s right, Barium Springs and commented “We just didn’t realize what was happening here.” We know this to be a positive fact: Those particular for there’s no typographical error | yjsjtors will always be staunch and in 19.20) is going to in the summer of 1941!

And if and when the germ does arrive, it wil! not find the young- sters’ resistance lowered by late hours or finicky eating.”—Greens- boro Daily News. s The contractors for the quad- rangle of cottages were on the job within a week after the con- tract was let by the Finance Com- mittee on January 27th and there’s plenty of activity in progress be- hind the grove of trees Where the quadrangle to be located, Comments of thankfulness have poured into Barium Springs re- cently from individuals as they sent contributions and communi- eated with us on other matters. These have had particular refer- ence to the two gifts of $10.000.00 and $6,000.00 that were assured in January for a cottage and for a printing office - shoe shop build- ing, respectively. It was generally described as the “good fortune” of Barium Springs. Right they are, too, in such a descriptive term. It is wonderfully encouraging to officials of the Home, to the Board of Regents and to thou- sands of friends that it was in the hearts of these two friends to pay loving and wonderful tribute to beloved ones by erecting buildings in their honor. No doubt the kitchen matron at Barium Springs wonders about al! those tons of food that are con- sumed in a year’s time. Maybe she’d fee] pretty good (along with others who raise the food, cook it, serve the meals and wash the dishes, ete.) if they would exam- ine the weight increase of the in- dividual chiidren all along the line. All of that food resulted in bone, muscle, sinew, hair, ete. to the extent of over a ton and a half increase in Weight among the fam- ily of 317 here last year. Very soon a new Church year will be inaugurated and we hope that those Sunday Schools which have not yet experienced’ the great pleasure of helping the Home here with an offering each month will seriously consider the adoption of this plan for 194i- 1942, That also goes for Men’s Bible Classes and Ladies’ Bible Classes. During the year now ap- proaching a conclusion there have been many newcomers to the ranks of our “once-a-monthers” and this is going to be splendidly reflected when the year’s report is available, Not long ago (and this instance can be duplicated many times) we had a small group of people visit- | among | ine Barium Sprines and those were some older peonle who have passed by Barium Springs repeatedly for at least a quarter | of a century but had never stop- ped to look in upon us. marveled at all that went on at They | terminate | !oyal advocates of our work. That |invariably occurs en ‘are good enough to visit Barium when friends Springs, and knowing the reaction, we have always been enthusiastic in urging people to visit our cam- pus. We'd like for somebody to tell us why it it that some treasurers hold money so long after it is turned over to them for disburse- ment to benevolent causes. The great majority do send the gifts to Barium Springs and _ other causes of the church in a hurry, but every cause will testify that there are some treasurers who apparently like to look at a good bank balance, while in the mean- time that money could be accom- plishing so much. We have train- ing courses tor most everything; why not institute one for treasur- ers of organizations? We don’t think anybody will take exception to this paragraph except maybe the fellow whose toes seem to be pinching. Somebody once made the ultra- false accusation that officials at Barium Springs kept Alexander Building here as a dormitory just to incite the sympathy of friends. Huh, just watch our faces when the new cottages are built and see how much pleasure we will ex- perience in showing friends through them. Contrast this to the pained expression which we couldn’t help when we took friends through the dormitory space of Alexander. As a refutation to the false accusation the following sim- ple statement is sufficient: The ap- peal at Barium Springs is not a disreputable building; the appeal is the children and what is done with, and for, them. If the Home here has to depend upon a dilapi- dated building to make an appeal, then it had better close up. We have weathered the big fi- nancial “hump” of lean income during the early part of any church year, and a_ statement is now possible that will be true al- so at the end of 1940-1941: ’Tis this: Barium Springs will not spend a single penny in interest outlay during the present church year! Is that bragging? Weil, if so, you Presbyterians do the brag- ging, for you are the ones respon- sible for such a statement. You gave and enabled us to get out of debt and you’ve been keeping us out of debt ever since. In the past two years the total expended for interest on short-term notes dur- ing that slim income period has been $18.16. Now it can be said that interest outiay in three years will aggregate $18.16. What does that mean? It means that your gifts are going into the lives of the children and the maintenance of the Home, and do not have to be applied toward the payment of old debts and in interest costs. BARIUM’S GOOD FORTUNE (From The Statesville Daily) What goes on down at Barium is always a matter of great inter- est to Statesville people. Joe John- ston’s big family holds a warm spot in the hearts of all our people, and except in the field of sports when we happen to be on losing end, any success that comes to Barium we count as our own and clap our hands and hurrah, Mid-Winter Music Program Given Here Miss Laura “Gray Greene, music teacher at Barium Springs, pre- sented a mid-winter recital for some of her pupils. There were twelve participating in the num- bers and the program was enliven- ed further by several vocal selec- tions by Miss Rebecca McKethan, a student at Mitchell College and a sister of one of the Barium teachers, The program which was given in the Church was as follows: On Wings of Song (Mendels- sohn) Betty Lov Williamson, The Water Sprite (Lang) Myr- tle Mills. Luliaby (Brahms) Buie. Waltz of the Flowers (Tschai- kowsky) Elizabeth Robards. Dancing Puppets (Hellard) Dorothy Gibbs.

And so we record with more than ordinary pleasure and satis- faction the announcement of new and comprehensive bequests which will enable the institution toe pro- vide an even better service in the future than it has in the past. The announcement of one gift of $10,000 for a new cottage is capped by the gift of $6,000 from Mr. F. A. Sherril! to be used for a printing gige and shoe shcp building—-an impressive contribu- ticn for a worthy cause, for it meets a need that has been wide open, as those who have contacted this busy and important adjunct of the institution will testify. Mr. Sherrill is to be commend- ed for this practical manifesta- tion of his interest in Barium, an interest which he has evidenced in so many ways all through the years. For in the printing office and shoe shop down at Barium, reliable and dependable young workmen are being turned out every year, not cue of whom ling- ers long in idleness, These gifts, plus the unstinted support of a great church, do not just happen. They are not hand- outs from Santa Claus. They st-m from the realization that the Ba- rium Orphanage is doing a great work, and that it is under wise and faithful management. Ba- rium’s achievements and the cer- tainty that able hands are chart- ing the course of the institution breed confidence and interest in its activities, and it is not at all surprising to find this interest and confidence reflected in sub- stantial gifts that must gladden the heart of Joe Johnston who thinks in terms of the welfare and progress of the institution he heads, morning noon and night. Contracts for Cottages (Continued From Page One) would report upon how much it would cost to construct three of the cottages, since it was defin- itely certain that money would be in hand for three of the struc- tures. In the meantime, Mr. Johnston and Mr. Milton were asked to do what they could to locate some- one who would give a fourth and fina] cottage, these officials being Ziven a ten-day period in which to do what they could toward ob- taining a $10,000.00 pledge.

The decrease was because of the | Thanksgiving Offering of the two years.

Partially offsetting this Thanksgiving decline was a gain of $519.28 in the regular giv- ing, for the net loss mentioned | in the initial paragraph of this article, To Winston-Salem Presbytery goes the distinction of being the only one to show an increase to date in the Thanksgiving Offer- | last | ing, and its increase over year is $8.05.

This is a group of Sunday Schocls which annually give a minimun of $100.00 regu- larly. and that means that the the Thanksgiving Offering is not included since that is a special re- membrance, When 1939-1940 ended, there were 65 members of the $100.00 Club, and there will be approxi- mately that number so graded when 1940-1941 is over. A good many are on the threshold of the Club now and will gain entrance when the February responses are dispatched.

You are asked to use your imagination in pictur- ing our delighiful reactions to the thoughtfulness of the Cypress Sunday School members in doubl- ing the January gift in the light of the omission of one in Decem- ber. So often circumstances make it necessary for an offering to be omitted, and in many instances the Sunday Schools forget about making it up entirely. Cypress Sunday School truly did not for- get it! The regular first Sunday Offerings from Westminster Sun- day School in Greensboro have been exceptionally great ones throughout 1940-1941 -~ so much so that the Sunday School has al- ready established a new regular peak in its giving, this being ac- complished in a period of ten months, An inkling as to the par- ticular reason of the upswing in the giving of Westminster was given us in a paragraph which ac- companied the regular January report of $22.81. The following is what the treasurer had to say: ei “Our people seem to be mani- | festing quite an interest in Ba- | rium at the present, and I hope it | will continue.

Prior to 1939, Barium Springs had been _ sole winner of the title for the pre- vious five consecutive years. Ba- rium now returns to be co-winner of the championship with Greens- boro High. The local team was the over- whelming favorite to take the title this year after the preliminary matches were held on February 13th. Nine Barium players had been entered in the tournament and only one was eliminated on the first go-’round. In winning their first bouts, however, the Ba- rium boys were against the weak- est contenders in the tournament, which meant that it would be tough going for the locals in the final matches, which were general- ly against defending champions of 1940, The final score of the Chapel Hill tournament gave Greens- boro and Barium Springs 26 points each; Durham, the _ defending ;champions, 16 points, and Salis- bury, the only other team entering, 5 points. Representing Barium Springs at Chapel Hill were the following: 98-pound class - Whittle; 108, McKenzie; 115, Jack Price; 145, Lacy Beshears; 155 Donald Bolton; 165, Billy Lindsey; and 175, Willard McCall. class, for the enthusiasm of this group has spread throughout the entire Sunday School at Westmin- ster. Shortly after Thanksgiving we received a letter from a friend which we think is worthwhile passing along to our friends every- where. Here is what was said: “Some of us were rather disap- pointed at the showing made by our church and Sunday School in regards to its orphanage offer- ing this year. I am no_ longer treasurer for the Sunday School, ;so with some more of the boys from the store we are not waiting for our good friend, Ed. Matthews, of Washington to come around but are sending in our check for the members of the dollar club. Your contributors this time are E. W. Hunt, W. R. Harris, R, A. Fountain, Jr.. H. J. Johnson, J. N. Fountain, G. E, Trevathan and yours truly, M. E. Smith.” Some of The Messenger readers may remember that it has been customary for the writer of that letter and his friends to give a special sum in March to fittingly conclude a year’s giving. They did not wait until] March, 1941, being disappointed that the Thanksgiving Offering was not as great as in prior years. Men- tioning this “Dollar Club” also calls to mind the fact that there }are in existence a number of such clubs in*North Carolina and some of these Clubs are made up of members who give $1.00-per- month on each of the Sundays when the offering is all devoted to the cause at Barium Springs. of Barium | February 19 1 Orphanage Work Secretary Says: Dear Friends, Success is rarely an accident. It is in most cases the result of high intentions, sincere effort, in- telligent direction and skillful exe- eution. As we contemplaté the work accomplished at our Pres- byterian Orphan’s Home during the past year, let us pause and take inventory of our assets: More than three hundred fine young American citizens in the making; a_ splendid corps of consecrated men and women to guide and_ direct their welfare, and give them affections, understanding, se- curity and happiness in a home-like environment; a fine Board of Regents; funds to construct the quadrangle of cottages to replace the Alex- ander cottage, and a gift to erect a printing office and shoe shop building; one of the best institutions of its kind in the South. This is our “Balance on hand” for this new year. What _ shall the 91,000 North Carolina Pres- byterians do with it? I believe that we will be proud to make this year one of success- ful and progressive growth, that we will make larger month-by- month contributions, that we wilt more fully realize that the Pres- byterian Orphan’s Home is OURS j and the children are our responsi- | bility. Let us accept this challenge of “A goal to attain.” Let us become better informed through visiting at Barium, where we are always welcome, by having programs on our Orphanage Work in_ our Churches, Sunday Schools, Aux- iliaries and Young People’s Leagues, by reading “The Barium Messenger.” Let’s make 1941 the best year of all for our Presbyterian Or- phan’s Home!

Also, the Church building is one large auditorium, with no Sunday School space, ne- cessitating the using of the two schoo] buildings for this purpose.

Well, we think we have the very best medi- cal and surgical attention that any group of children could pos- sibly have. We believe that we have been fortunate in finding healthful ways of life, but, when we've said all that, we haven't gone near halfway. We have just plant- ed and watered, and God has giv- en the increase. We have had ac- cidents during the year - acci- dents so dangerous that in sever- al instances a child’s life was des- paired of, but they have recover- ed without permanent injury - why’?

March 11, 1941 Dear ——— We are rainer sad at Ba- rium Springs today over the disclosure of your letter of the 10th in which you stated that the off.:ine-ver-month plan was going to be discon- tinued in the ——_—— Sunday School. We fee] that this is a very unfortunate insistence on the part of your pastor - not merely from the standpoint of the decrease in funds for our Home at Barium Springs, but also from the viewpoint that this action is gong to hurt your other benevolent giving. That statement is based upon experience. We have innumerable letters of testimony to the effect that when the offering-per-month plan is in operation that all of the gifts of the Sunday School increase and thus the other beaevolent causes share in the larger giving. We also have letters from ministers and Sunday School Superintendents to the effect that giving to Barium Springs is one of the great- est avenues of developing ben- volent giving.

I take especial pride in say- ing that the project for buildings was not only started by the women of Concord Presbyter- ial, but the fourth cottage was given by the daughter of a life- long member. By the time this reaches you, work will actually have begun. While these buildings have been provided, all the furnishings have not. It is my earnest prayer that the women of our Synodical will be able to completely furnish the building that we have made pos sibie. It will take approximately $100.- 00 to equip each bedroom.

These will probably be put in some time dur- ing April, Local people hope that these windows can be lighted at night, so that passers-by will see them. A great impression will be left in their minds, Another expectation of the local authorities is that the members of Little Joe’s Church wili make contributions so that the two small windows in the chancel may be | stained glass, with suitable em- biems in them. Basketball Boys Win Championship Again Blessing Little For the second year in succes- sion, the boys’ varsity basketball team of Barium Springs is champ- ion of the South Piedmont Con- ference, having won 13 games and lost only one to Lexington to have the highest percentage and thus merit the honor of continuing to crown that was won in the 1940 season. The record of 1941 is identical to that of 1940, for last year the Barium boys sim- ilarly won 13 and lost one. The Barium girls were also de- fending the 1939 and 1940 titles successively won in the same con- ference, but the girls’ varsity here was not as strong this year as | formerly, with the Children’s Home of Winston-Salem taking honors in the sextette divi- | sion. It is interesting that the top- flight teams in both the girls’ and boys’ brackets were from orphans’ homes. The major playing of the boys was done by Capt. Arthur Roach, Gwyn Fletcher, Hugh Norman, Joe Ben Gibbs and Henry Pitt- man. Of those five, Reach and Pittma- will graduate. with the three others as carry-overs to de- fend this title in the basketball season of 1942, The final and officia) tabula- tions of the standings of the bas- ketball teams affiliated with the South Piemont Conference are as wear the Comfort, Covenant, Eagle Springs, Fair- (Continued On Page Three) follows: Girls’ Division.

They re all in bed having a nap when re there, you see it Was lay afternoon and _ they must not go to sleep in prayer meeting. It was 1 ‘iv getting up time, however, so Margaret took us up to look at them. You have stood, at leyi we hope you have, sometime or other by a lit- tle bed and looked down on a flushed, sleepin little boy, hands flung wide, lips half parted, doubl- ed up at some ridiculous angle or else sprawled over the entire bed. It is a sight that always catches at our heart strings and the other afternoon lookir at one after another of those little fellows, hearing their even breathing, see- ing once an eyelid quiver here. catching a bit of a sigh there we thought surely the same old heart strings would get caught into knots that would never straighten out. Then one little boy epened his eyes—looked straight at us shut them tight. then opened them again and grinned right at us, Another and another woke up, startled at first then smiling and ich as we would like to have seen the whole crowd up and stir- ring we decided it was best to move on and not upset the order | of things.

He comes up to you, clutching at you in his eagerness, frowning from excitement he twists the words all about his tongue trying to get them all said ahead of the older ones of the “babies”. When we got home and told our little boy about him he said “Well why did- n’t you bring him home with you?”—and because we lay some claims to a bit of common sense We wouldn’t own up even to the little boy how much we wanted to bring him home with us. _It was a fascinating afternoon’s visit for us.

News is. short And so is time We'll be seeing You next month About this time WOMAN’S BUILDING March is here and so are we. The wind is really blowing and it blew good fortune to us. If you have passed by our Home recently you have probably noticed our new buildings going up in full swing, but we aren’t sure when they’ll start on our new printing office and shoe shop which was given to us by Mr. F. A, Sherrill, of Statesville. Our second school semester is passing by so fast that the seniors are beginning to think of how it will be to be a graduate of Barium High, but we as seniors don’t like the idea as well as we used to think we would, because gradua- tion to us means leaving the only home some of us have known, So it’s not just leaving school; it means leaving school and home to us. Our Dad had a birthday March 2nd and the Virginia Hal] Mis- sion girls gave him a_ birthday party at the gym. The faculty, matrons, high school] members and other friends attended. We did the Grand March and enjoyed it so much. but we doubt if Mr. Kyles (head of our shoe depart- ment) enjoyed mending our shoes the next week, The Mid-Piedmont Tournament over and we hope all of you j Who attended, enjoyed the games. |We want to congratulate the Seotts boys and Catawba girls for winning out.

Speaking of the tournament, Louise Martin was doing O. K. for herself, with two boys from Sha- ron, Or, was it three? Mary Ann McCormick also had a nice looking basketball star from North Brook. Could that be the reason of her new nickname, Lefty? Could be. Refreshments sold like “wild fire” and thanks can go to the lovely sales girls. These were none other than Misses Emma Enudy, Louise Martin and Mary Adams. ing as a little child had we really gone in and seen the children and their home. Children after all are the most interesting things in this old world and we thought the other afternoon how very foolish we are to be a-sighing now and then for a chance to do this and that, to see so and so, go here and there for ‘interest? when all the time in a short bus trip from us there are so many varing interests more real and vital than any we'd be finding in all our sighed for goings, all our dreamed of seeings and our longed for hearings. Flora Mae Newnam is trying to find out if it would be very hard for her to join the Army or Navy. (If anyone has the infor- mation, please send it in to us.) (Gee, tanks.) Gwyn Fletcher was high scorer in the Statesville game. Could it be because Ruth Cole was the head cheer leader? Who is that blond-haired boy from Statesville that “Jerry” Blue makes eyes at when he comes to the basketball games. Hey! Jer- ry, let us in on this, too.

Our seventh and eighth grade basketba | team and the 125-pound team are entering a tournament that will be here the 15th, 14th, 15th of March. We hope they win out.

BABY COTTAGE Second Floor We have not had as many vi tors as usual this month, Among those who have had visitors are Peggy Joyce Land, Barbara and Louise Bradshaw, Lois Dellinger, Jane Feimster, g, Jackie Porterfield and i Smith, We wish more people would drop in to see us. The door is open at anytime. We want to thank circie No. 2 of the Mooresville First Chureh for the candy, fruit, jelly and play toys they brought us. We have been having lots of apples and oranges to eat. We want to thank the orchard group for the good oranges, which we have had by swapping apples raised here. May Hillard, Betty Jean Mc- Bride, Jackie Porterfield and Caro- line Wicker had birthdays in Janu- ary. None of us has birthdays in February or March. We want to thank Mrs. M. V. Spencer, of Mooresville, for the pretty bibs she made us. We went to the show today to see Alice Fay and Betty Grable play in “Tin Pan Alley.” We all thought it was a good picture. Two of our girls, Katie Dunn and Betty Jean McBride, who have been in the Infirmary with mumps, are back home and_ in school again. All of our ears just about fell off this morning when Lillie Bry- ant came to the house and said she had made the honor roll. We don’t know how she made it but it was done. Last Sunday the daddy of our baby, Lois Dellinger; was here and Mama O’Kelly told her to show her daddy how old she was now. She held up three fingers. Then Mama told her to show him how old she would be her next birthday, which is in May. She held up ten fingers and said she would be that many years old, Our school girls have just re- ceived their report cards and they looked much better than they did last month. : Our eight little girls that do not go to school wish to thank Mrs. 30bby Spencer, Mrs. Jackins and Beth Jackins for the nice little party they gave them yesterday.

Iron Fence at Barium When the State of North Caro lina concreted the highway through the campus at Barium Sprine in 1923, they constructed two un- |, derpasses for the children and put a substantial iron fence on each side of the highway as a protec- tion to the boys and girls in the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home, However, maybe the state should change the fence to one of re-in- forced concrete and steel in the future, for a car recently crashed through the fence at one of the underplasses, turned over inside the campus and almost straddled the entrance to the underpass, It was a slippery road the morning that this happened, and the driver evidently couldn’t successfully ne- gotiate the curve in the road just as it reaches the edge of the Ba- rium campus. He hit one embank- ment and then sliced away about “5 feet of fence, It happened at 9:30 a. m., and the children were all in school, so {suffered abrasions about the face, There’s been a rumor that Uncle | Sam’s going to launch a new bat- ile ship, U.S. 8.

Prior to the finals, Catawba had defeated Sharon (Mecklenburg), 36 to 7; Celeste Henkel, 39 to Ford, 43 to 20. Scott’s boys won a hair-raising, roof-raising tussle from Sherrill’s Ford by a one-point margin, Ha- ger caging the winning field goal with four seconds left in the ball game. The score was 30 to 29 Scotts tallied only 15 points in three quarters but sensationally played in the final eight minutes to double their points in the first 24 minutes of play. Carson Wood, an old Barium boy, coached Scotts boys. Scotts had ea won over Rock Springs, 27 to 26; North Brook, 26 to 14, and Cornelius, 41 to 36, for the privil of meeting Sherrill’s Ford in the finals, Loving cups went to the ning teams; miniature gold ketballs to members of victorious outfits and silver basketballs to individuals on the |! tions; Union Grove’ trophy for the best-dressed team, and foul shooting trophies went to Setzer, of Catawba, for the virls and Deal, of Claremont, for the boys. Emblems were later sent to those named on the all- tournament team, Girls’ teams in the tournament were Catawba, Claremont, Odell, Brawley, Huntersville, Cool Springs, Scott Rock Springs, Union Grove, Sharon (Mecklen- Henkel, Hiddenite, Sherrill’s 18, and win- h > rls won a Sherrill’s Ford, Cleveland, Trout- man and North Brook. The 16 boys’ teams participating were Scotts, Sherrill’ Ford, Sharon (Mecklenburg), Harmony, Ball’s Creek, Hiddenite, Claremont, Brawley, Cleveland, Cornelius, Troutman, Catawba, North Wilkesboro, Ro Brook and Ur These Springs, North Grove. Mid-Piedmont Tourna- and interest has been increasing each year, as in- dicated by the turn-out. Atten- lance in 1941 broke all former cords, A refreshment stand the Barium Springs ion.

Junior Associa Tournament. lg aggrega- | ENGER Dress Made By Barium Girl (Continued From Page One) rium Springs Orphanage girls, a junior in high school and a first year student in home economics. Her teacher, Miss Doloris Hun- sucker, said this morning that the dress she submitted in the State contest was the first dress she had ever made. It’s a very attractive frock of light blue chambray, trimmed with pink applique on the belt. The State Homemakers’ contest, arranged by the North Carolina Society of the D. A.R., is open to any home economics or 4-H girls’ club in the State, or any member ot a Girl Scout troop who wishes to submit a dress she has made. Mrs. Kar] Sherrill, of Statesville, is the D. A.R. State chairman of Girl Homemakers. In preparation for the State con- test, elimination contests are held in the various counties. The lo- cal contest, of which Miss Pres- nel! was winner, was held in con- nection with the February meeting of Fort Dobbs chapter D.A.R. here and was arranged by Mrs. James L, Pressly, the chapter chairman of Girl Homemakers.

Both of Barium’s varsity teams entered the State Orphanage Bas - ketball Tournament at the Chil- dren’s Home, Lexington, in Feb- vy. The Barium girls lost their bovs lost their second engagement to the Children’s Home of Lexing- ton. The Barium boys later entered the Salisbury Tournament. They won their first engagement but lost in the second go-around to Statesville, who went ahead to de- feat Concord and Lexington to win the South-Piedmont division, only to lose the grand championship of the Salisbury Tournament to the Children’s Home of Lexington. March 1941 Statesville Men Give Nifty Automatic Clock Frank L. Johnson and A, J. Salley, both of Statesville and bet- ter known as “Old Man Frank” and “Aunt Salley”, are the gener- ous contributors of an_ electric time clock and scoreboard for the basketball court at Barium Springs. It was in operation dur- ing the Mid-Piedmont Basketball Tournament, during the Junior Mid-Piedmont tourney jand was also used for the Barium games during the latter portion of the season, The combination apparatus is several feet in height and amply large enough for any spectator in the gymnasium to see the score of the game, the quarterly period in progress and how much time remains to be played. In close en- counters of bygone years the coaches on both teams have fre- quently bobbed up to ask the time- keeper how much time remained, but that is now passe. Changes in the score, the quar- ter under way and the minutes of the period are all controll- ed from the scoring desk. An auxi- liary clock is used for the time- out periods, and at the expiration a small red bulb on the smaller clock lights up and is is known that it is time to resume play. The end of each period, is announced by the clock automatically by a buzzer, though in some _ heated battles an extra horn has to be tooted at the close of the game to let the teams, the officials and the spectators know that the con- test has been concluded. This is a useful and worthwhile donation by these two good friends in Statesville, who have also in- dicated their interest and loyalty in many other ways.

These were the frand winner ‘om an ori; ] field of 16 te eight girls’ outfits and eis boys’ quintets. Ironically, it developed that all of the four finalists were from Trout- man and Bari Springs, the Ba- rium boys ng over Trout- man, 36 to 10, for the champion- ship and the utman girls de feating Barium, 19 to 12, for the title in the girls’ division, No boy weighing over 125 rticipate in the the girls had to seventh and eligible for pounds could } tournament and be members of the eight grades to be playing. The tournament Was so designed that a team had to lose twice to be entirely out of the tournament, and those winning two contests and losing only one Were awarded smaller trophies, with large ones coing to the champions, The girls of Statesville, Catawba, and Ba- rium Springs won two and lost one, and the boys of Newton, Tay- lorsville and Troutman were in the same grouping. Teams entered were: Girls: Ce- leste Henkel, Troutman, Newton, Concord, Statesville, Catawba, Claremont and Barium Springs.

Of this increase, $683.92 was the gain regular donations and $3641.70 in Thanksgiving Offering. For the 11 months, the regular month-by-month giving by Synod was $1,203.20 on the positive side, but the Thanksgiving total was $537.86 less, for a net increase of $665.34 from Synod as Barium Springs enters the final and con- eluding month of 1940-1941, Very encouraging to officials here is that regular increase. It is the constant effort of the au- thorities to build up the regular and systematic giving to the Home, which would avoid the ne- cessity of depending upon sea- sonal giving for one-half of Syn- od’s total at Thanksgiving-time. May further increases be noted in March! The Thanksgiving Offering on February 28th totaled $44,786.08. | Kings Mountain Mecklenburg 1 Orange 8 ‘.

WOMAN’S BUILDING First Floor This is “Edwin C.

Softball teams have been organ- ized among, ourselves and we have lots of fun playing in the after- noons. We would love for all of our friends to see our beautiful cam- pus, now that the flowers, fruit trees and other things are in bloom. When the birds start har- monizing, there is no spot on this earth that can compare with the home and school so many of you have made possible for us. | No one will ever know the sink- ing feeling that we seniors have as our school days are nearing the finish line and we realize it 1s time for us to leave our home, school, friends and classmates to go out into the world to work for our living. Two of our girls are going to college, three are going to take business college courses, several are going to work, and one is going in training to be a nurse, mother, Mrs. H. E.

The sup- |per that was served was the out- standing event of the evening, (Several of us stood up after that, because we were so full we couldn’t take a chance on sitting down.) The seniors were invited to a party given by their mascot, Mon- ty Cook, last night and everyone jhad a wonderful time because jevery minute was filled, I think ithe most important event was the dart game, especially Sallie Far- mer’s excellent marksmanship. | The Puplic speaking class is giving a play tonight and we can hardly wait to see Ceci] “Grable” Starling and Grover “Lamarr” In- eram in their leading parts. : The orphanage conference is meeting here this week-end and we hope it will be a success, We wel- come all the delegates from the different Homes.

How do you rate, Dorothy? The Copnedge-Shroyer romance has suddenly gone to the rocks again. Too bad, especially since James is leaving for the Navy when he finishes school. Speaking of the Navy, several of our class are going into service: Roland Hooten, James Shroyer, and Russell McKenzie. Uncle Sam seems to be getting quite a few of our boys.

Wednesday, Mama O’Kelly took us to town and dressed us up in some new white shoes. We couldn’t wait until Easter so we have al- ready worn them. One of our big sisters, Lilly Bryant, went to the birthday table this month. Almost half of us will be going next month. Mary Hillard’s clothing people from Concord brought us a big basket of colored Easter eggs. We wish to thank them for them. Mama O’Kelly and our two big sisters. Janie and Lilly, took us on a Easter egg hunt Saturday afternoon. Chrolina Wicker got the prize, which was a shovel full of Easter eges, for finding the most.

We only have about three more weeks of school and we sure will be glad because then the swimming pool will be open and we all have a good time in the pool] when it is hot. We have started playing baseball and we have such a good time playing. Mr, Johnston brought us two baseballs and two bats to play with, One was a small one for the sma'l boys and one for the big boys. We had the civic supper here Friday night and some of our little John, a little boy has come to having him. Bobby King went to the Popeye club at the Playhouse in States- ville and won a basket-fu!l of gro- ceries. George Cauthren went out of our cottage to Lee’s last week. LEE’S COTTAGE We have been having the meas- les and mumps in our cottage. The following boys have been in the infirmary: Esau Davis, Earl Allen, Bobby Whittle, Kenneth Cammer, John Ammons, Raymond Good, Dwight Spencer, Horace Smith, Jerry Young, Charles Bar- ret and Wilbur Coats, but with Mrs. McNaitt’s good nursing and Miss Lackey’s good food all recovered quickly, and are back jn the cottage again. Baseball is in the air. We play every spare minute we have. A friend of our cottage gave us some new baseball equipment to add to some we have been using for two seasons. Charles Barrett enjoyed a visit from his mother over the week end, Bobby Whittle spent the day in Charlotte recently visiting rel- atives. We are already thinking of our summer vacation, making plans for visits to our friends and rel- atives and looking forward to a week at “Camp Fellowship.” It was nice having Mr. Cook’s father preach for us at our Wed- nesday prayer meeting recently. We always enjoy him. We were invited to a wedding in Little Joe’s Church, Ed Flowers and Sadie Eudy, two former mem- bers of the Barium family, were married, It was a lovely wedding. We wish them much happiness. Gene Bonnous is leaving us on May Ist to go to Yonkers, N. Y., to live. We shall miss him, but we are glad he can be with his mother again. Charles Smith has gone over to Jennie Gilmer to live. We hope: he will be happy over there. George Cauthren came to live! with us. Dwight Spencer has just recited the Child’s Catechism. Some others are about ready to recite theirs. The Bird Club is having some interesting meetings and observing a lot of unusual birds these fine spring days. Some of us are doing a little gardening, planting a few patches of our own. On the truck farm we are doing things on a large scale. When the report cards came out for January and Fedruary the following boys were on the honor roll: Ray Lewis, Esau Davis, Ray- mond Good, Billy Everett, Jerry Young, and George Cauthren. The new Cottages are going up very fast. We are all looking forward to seeing them finished, and our Alexander Cottage friends | moving out of their old building.

JOHNSTON Probably no other man in any work has done a better job than Joseph B. Johnston, superinten- dent of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs. Since 1922 he has been serving as head of the Barium institution of the Presbyterian Synod of North Caro- lina, and his work there is a liv- ing example of a job wel! done. Born in Lincolnton, March 2, 1880, Mr. Johnston lived in that Lincoln county town until he en- rolled as a freshman in Davidson College. Graduating with the class of 1901, after making a splendid record at that school in scholar- ship and athletics, he tuok a posi- tion with the Atlanta Stee] Com.- pany in the same year, Mr. John- ston lived in Atlanta until 1907. Later he continued his work in Helena, Alabama for four years. It was in 1912 that Mr. Johnston returned to his home town of Lin- colnton and organized an ice and coal company. He was in that business until 1922 when he was named to his present position. Joe Johnston wil] teil you that he had seen inside an orphanage only once when he came to Ba- rium Springs. He used “experi- ments” and they worked, In 1922, there were 232 students at Barium, now the enrollment is 317. Mr. Johnston has seen 915 students go out of the institution, and adding the present enrollment, 1.232 students have been under his care. Mr. Johnston was a member of the first football team at David- son. He also went out for basket- ball and track. He was named on the “All-Davidson” team in the position of tackle and center. Supt. Johnston’s hobby is foot- bali. He is deeply interested in all sports, because it teaches cooper- ation and is a great health aid, At present he is preparing a booklet of 20 years of athletics at Barium. There were not competitive athiet- ic teams of any sort when he as- sumed his duties there. Now, Barium rates near the top with the leading teams of North Caro- lina, The boys and girls at Ba- rium have long been winners in many sports, although it is the smallest schoo] in the South Pied- mont Conference. He has been an Elder in the Presbyterian Church for 25 years. Mr. Johnston was a charter mem- ber of the Lincolnton Kiwanis club and was elected district governor of Kiwanis a few years ago. Mr. Johnston was three times president of the N. C. Orphanage Association, twice president of the Tri-State Conference, and a mem- ber of the White House Conference en Children in a Democracy. He | is also a member of the Child Wel- fare League of America. The health program at Barium features of the institution. In- dividual case records will show org it has been highly success- ul. Davidson college awarded him the Algernon Sidney Sullivan a- ward in 1934 for the alumnus do- ing the greatest service to hu- manity. He married Miss Annie Lee Davidson of Chester, S, C., in 1907. They have six children: Ann Favs- soux, Robert, Bill, Joe, Jr., Jim, and Leila. liams and Lula Belle Hall went to | the birthday table Wednesday. All our girls except Betty Jo and Sadie have come from the In- firmary. These two are due to come back on Saturday. We are glad so many of us have had mumps because it didn’t hurt us much and we won’t have it again. : We had our communion service last Sunday and about 25 of our children joined the church, Those of our girls who did so are: Nellie Isenhour, Gwendolyn Landrum. Betty Jo Smith, Kathleen Monroe, and Helen Morgan, RUMPLE HALL This will be the first time in several months that we have writ- ten you to let you know how we are getting along.

In recent years Synod has gen- erally met in the first days of September at the various colleges, the early meeting being necessary to avoid congestion when students had arrived tor the fall openings. The situation at Barium Springs is different, for the children are always here, whether the meeting of Synod be held in the spring, | summer, fall or winter. It was | agreeable with officials here to) have the meeting of Synod when- | ever it was satisfactory to that | body. Postponing Synod two weeks | will undoubtedly mean a bigger at- tendance than ever, since the min- isters will have returned from! their August vacations and will | be able to come to the 1941 meet- | ing. In some cases, ministers have not attended Synod in recent years ! because they were just back from their vacations and things had to be atiended to locally. The hogs and the cows that are slated for consumption by the ministers and elders will therefore THE BARIUM MES SSS === ‘Only 13 Bedrooms Yet to Be Given Four other bedrooms in the new cottages at Barium Springs will be furnished by special $100.00 contributions, leaving only 13 of the 28 bed- rooms that are yet to be taken by organizations or individ- uals. It will be remembered that an announcement was made last month that all four of the living rooms were to be furnished with $200.00 sums. C, 8, Hicks of Durham and other members of his family have notified officials that they were going to send $100.00 for this purpose in memory of their father and mother; Mrs. Helen Brown Coble, an alumnae of Barium, is giving $100.00, part of which is already in hand; Mr. and Mrs. Coit Robinson, of Low- | ell, have sent $100.00 to fur- | nish a bedroom, and the ex- ecutive board of Kings Moun- tain Presbyterial] has voted to assume a $100.00 obligation for this purpose. The total special sum for the furnishings is now $2,- 300.00, and it is expected that organizations or individuals will take the other 13 bed- rooms for an aggregate of $1,300.00, making $3,600.00 that will be available by spe- cial contributions to provide the furnishings for 28 bed- rooms and four living rooms. } have a couple of weeks more fat-; tening because of this two weeks’ postponement of the 1941 meet- ing of Synod. s 3 Visitors Urged to Visit This Home In any year there are a great many visitors to the campus at Barium Springs, but the number of delegations and those spending a little while on the campus here are expected to increase consider- ably during 1941-1942, which is the semi-centennial year of cele- bration at Barium Springs. The Home was established here in January of 1891 - the 11th day of January, 1891, to be exact - and the milestone in the history of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home is be- ing recognized in the Church year of 1941-1942, Because of this celebration of a half-century of service, many people will want to participate in it by visiting Barium Springs - some for the first time and maybe some for their second or third visits. There will be others, too, who will want to come to Barium Springs this summer to see the new quadrangle of cottages and the printing office and shoe shop building. Of course, the meeting of Synod at Barium Springs in September will bring many min- isters and elders to the campus, as well as. other visitors who might be here fer special por- tions of Synod’s program. Recently 41 people were here from Durham, a small party came from Greensboro, and another group is scheduled the latter part of April to visit Barium Springs from Kings Mountain. Most of the visitors arriving in the morning have lunch with the large family. Just notify officials two days ahead of time how many will be in the party and the necessary arrangements will be made. qv From The Statesville March 29th. Flowers-Eudy In a ceremony solemnized Sat- urday evening at seven o’clock in Little Joe’s Presbyterian church, Barium Springs, Miss Sadie Eudy and Mr. Ed, Flowers were united in marriage. Rev. Thomas C. Cook, pastor of Little Joe’s church, was the officiating minister. Ferns and grouping of cathed- ral candles made an effective set- ting for the simple service. Before Daily of the ceremony Miss Laura Gray Greene, at the piano, played “Meditation from Thais,’ Mas- senent; and the girls of Howard Cottage, where the bride was ma- tron, sang “Oh, Promise Me,” and “T Love You Truly.” The bride and bridegroom were unattended and entered the church together. For her wedding the bride wore an ensemble of navy crepe, trimmed in white. Her hat and other costume _ accessories were navy and her flowers were a corsage of pink roses. After the ceremony Mr, and Mrs, Flowers left for a short wedding trip and on their return will be at home in Statesville, where they Cottage News (Continued From Page Three) meticement. We got ovr new shoes Thurs- day night, and we are all so happy. They are all rea] pretty. We are having a good time with one of our favorite sports - base- ball.

Since finishing here, Helen had been working in Charlotte most of the time. They are mak- ing their home in that city. Kennedy-Mullis Information has been received here of the marriage of Bessie Kennedy, another 1939 graduate, to Glenn Mullis, of Taylorsville, though the present residence of Mr. and Mrs. Mullis was not re- vealed.

During April, too, final re- ports from Sunday Schools of the Synod sent the reg- ular total from that source to a new all-time high-water mark by surpassing a peak sum donated by the Sunday Schools in 1939-1940. It will be remembered that the majority of the money raised by the ladies of the North Carolina Syn- odical for a cottage at Ba- rium Springs largely came during the Church vear of 1940-1941. This building fund § money is not reflected in the support fund total, for it was kept in a separate cate- . i; i oe a 3 Winter Athletes Are Honored at Banquet The annual banquet for the winter sports performers at the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs was held in the dining room of Rumple Hall here Friday night. April 4, at which time tribute was paid to the var- sity wrestlers, who are co-champ- ions with Greensboro High for the state title; to the varsity bas- ketball contingent which won the South Piedmont conference crown for the second year in succession; to the 125-pound boys’ basketball team which won the Junior Mid- Piedmont tournament; to the mid- get girls’ sextette which was run- ner-up in the Junior Mid-Piedmont tournament, and to the varsity girls’ basketball team which had a season of fair success, Harry Barkley, coach of the girls’ varsity basketball] outfit, was the toastmaster of the occas- ion, to which guests from States- ville and this territory had been invited to a meal principally com- posed of home-grown food prod- ucts. John Wesley Ervin gave out letters to the wrestlers; Rev. T. C. Cook to the midget girls’ ‘ourt team; Ralph Spencer to the 125-pound boys’ basketball aggre- gation: W. A.

General | Johnston and} meeting as guests of Manager Joseph B, his associates at the Presbyterian at a supper held in the spacious Rumple Hall Friday night. Mem- bers of the six civic clubs of the two Iredell county towns and their guests assembled in large numbers at the entrance to the dining hall and were ready to enter when the doors were opened promptly at 7 o’clock, Mr. Johnston and his staff have mastered the art of making their visitors feel at home and the people of Mooresville and _ Statesville look forward with eager expecta- tions to the pleasure of the annual joint meetings at Barium Springs. All formality is laid aside on the occasion of these enjoyable meet- ings. The supper was supervised by members of the orphanage house- hold and the food was served by the bright girls of the institution in great variety and in super- abundance, Practically everything on the tables was grown on the farm, or produced here in Iredell county. The program was an old South- ern party, with Billy Lindsey and Ruth Cole acting as host and host- | ess. The stage had the appearance of an old colonial home, Guests included five couples, the girls be- ing attired in evening dresses. Paul Horne accompanied Evelyn Coppedge; Dick Parrish was with Louise Brock; Vance Smith and Betty Whittle came together; Ce- cil Starling and Mae Shoaf made up another couple, and Billy Mc- Call came in with Marie Morgan. Entertainment for the assembled guests consisted of a varied pro- gram. Pleas Norman appeared as “Black Tom” and sang a solo num- ber; Daisy Cayton was “Mandy”, she being followed by six pickan- nies: Peggy Joyce Land, Jane Feimster, Sylvia Sue Buie, Mack Caldwell, Paul Dellinger and John- ny Slater. “Mandy” sane a solo; she and her consort of pickannies sang “Short’ning Bread” and “Black Tom” and “Mandy” sang a duet together. Later, the pick- annies did some dancing, and Mabe] Milton did a solo dance, There was a band to entertain the guests, made up of Jeanne Steppe as leader; Ethel] Brother- | Brick Work Finished on Cot- tages and Roofs Are On.— Print Shop Started Visitors to Barium Springs now- adays are seeing a lot of activity in progress as five buildings are under construction, The quadran- i gle ot cottages is contracted to be completed by August Ist, but with the progress made, they will be finished long before that time. Ground was broken on Apri! 21st for the printing office and shoe shop building, and by the time this copy of The Messenger is placed in the mails, the walls of the latter building will be rapidly climbing. All of the brick work has been laid and the tops are on the roofs of the four cottages, which means that rainy days in the future will not interfere with work, as the men will have inside work to keep them busy. Delegations nowadays to the Home are toured through one of the cottages to give them a picture of the floor plan and are not taken into the dormitory side of Alexander, unless a particular desire is expressed to see what is going to be replaced. Visitors are taken in the printing office which is currently housed in Alexander, but which will have a new build- ing all its own within a couple of months. The printing office and _ shoe | shop building is on the adminis- | trative side of the campus, close | to the office. This will be an ideal arrangement, for its former loca- | tion on the opposite side of the | highway and the back part of the campus has been inconvenient and caused delay as conferences were necessary between individuals in the office and printing establish- ment. ton, Charles Faircloth, Clara Man- gum, Essie Jean Lee, Douglas Da- vis, Francis Stricklin, Billy Dunn, Amie Lybrand, Fred Feimster, Dwight Reid, Ray Powell, Sarah Bradshaw, Joe Ben Riddle, Mae Hillard and Katie Dunn. These were attired in white uniforms and red-banded caps. During the evening’s entertain- ment, the visiting guests partici- pated in a Virginia Reel and after the party was over the guests marched off the stage to music. In closing, Mr. Johnston express- ed his great pleasure at having the opportunity to greet the large number of civic people of States- ville and Mooresville, Hilarious Play Is Presented at Barium An appreciative audience was kept in an uproar at Barium on the night of April 11th, when the public speaking department of the high school presented a three-act farce “Breezy Money” under the direction of W. A. Hethcox. This could be considered the initial event of the 1941 graduation pro- gram, since this class annually de- lights the Barium family an other visitors with an excellent presentation. The boys had spent only about three weeks in preparation for the presentation, but onlookers thought they had been working for a much | longer period. The crowd laughed long and heartily at two of the boys who took the parts of ladies re POO Teer oe in the play - Ceci] Starling, who- had one of the leading roles, and Grover Ingram, who impersonated: a lady during a portion of the play. They appreciated, too, the sound effects which were under | the direction of Billy Lindsey. Characters in the play were Wil- jliam Billings as “Breezy,” a press ; agent de luxe; Standish McKenzie, ;as “Hoedown,” the world’s laziest | bellboy; Russell McKenzie, “Cum- min,” owner of Cummin Inn; Jack McCall, “Carter Maxton, Jr.,” a | millionaire; Tom McCall, as “Dick | Landis,” almost dead broke; Cecil | Starling, as “Jimmy Gale” com- | pletely dead broke; Hugh Norman, jas “Colonel Southern,” the Old | South with a young daughter: Bil- ily MeCall, “Herbert West,” Dick’s rival; Grover Ingram, as “Mops”, good on impersonations; and ‘James Shroyer, “Lonnie,” sheriff and handy man.

There is always considerable old-year money arriving in the early part of April and in order to record these sums upon the year in which they are contributed the books jat Barium are kept open for a period of time for such listings.

Z. Stultz, of Charlotte, was revealed to the Board of Regents otf the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home in semi-annual! session here on May 15th as the anonymous dcnor of a $10,000.00 sum for the construction of one of four cot- tages that are now nearing com- pletion at Barium Springs. In December of 1939 it was an- nounced that an elder in the Myers Park Presbyterian Church in Char- | lotte had obligated himself to give the necessary sum for a cottage, but a public revelation of the iden- tity of the donor was net made un- til the spring session of the gov- erning board, Mr. Stultz was at Barium in the early days of May to complete the | payment of his pledge and permis- sion Was given the authorities to make public his name. The occasion of the semi-annual assembly of the Board of Regents was selected as the time to make this public. Mrs. Adelaide Cannon Blair, of Washington, D. C., is the donor of one of the cottages in memory of her father and mother, the late Mr. and Mrs, J. W. Cannon, of Concord; the ladies of the North Carolina Synodical gave a third cottage, and permission to reveal the donors of the fourth building has not yet been given, At their meeting this month the Regents inspected this quadrangle ot cottages and also a printing of- fice and shoe shop building given by Franklin Avery Sherrill, of Statesville, in memory of his wife. Considerable progtress has been made in the construction of these five buildings. The quadrangle will be ready for occupancy early in July and the printing office in June, Sixteen of the 20 board members attended the recent sessions at which time reports on the recently ended fiscal year were received from Jos. B. Johnston, superin- tendent, and Ernest Milton, treas- urer. The finance, house, case work, farm and educational com- mittees all had reports.

Henry Pittman was announced winner uf the Ace medal for all-rounc improvement during the his stay at Barium Springs; the Brown Bible medal went to Ruth Cole, and the music eegrerenains medal to Sarah Par- cell, The high school scholarship awards went to Jack McCall, Grover Ingram, Ben Lewis, Mott Price, Wootson Davis and George ‘Norris. Grammar school scholastic prizes were presented to Betty Lou Davis, Esau Davis, Billy Everett, Herbert Good and Betty Jo Smith. The Fred W. Sherrill prizes for scholastic improvement went to Janie Smith and Gertrude Bryant among the girls and to Dick Par- <h and Hugh Norman among the vs. In addition to their diplomas cach graduate was also presented with a Bible, The Bacculaureate Serv’ce. Two helpful and beneficial ser- mons were delivered at Parium Springs on Sunday, April 20th by Rev. S. H. Fulton, pastor of the Laurinburg Presbyterian church, and Rev. Earl Thompson, pastor of the Front Street Presbyterian law,” he urged. The second thing Jesus told his inquirer was “sell all that thou hast and give to the poor.” It was pointed out that the ruler had been living with self as the center of life, but “forget self if you want life - forget self in the service of others,” said Mr. Fulton. He tuld the seniors that no life was so miserable as that which revolves and centers all in self. “Life glows because of service to otliers,” he went on, “and a life centered in self withers and dies. {t must be kept open in its ser: ice and sym- pathy with others Lhere are two attitudes toward i:fe, ‘What can T get out of it ani what I can give to it? ” Finally, said the speaker, Christ told the ric young ruler to “come and follow me. It’s in Christ that we learn to give in life. In our own strength we would fail; in Christ’s strengt! «ve can win through to high and glorious living. Wher. Chris’ is in your heart, life loses its s:lfishness for His sake an] ther is gives and serves.” Sermon to Young People. “God Looks at His World” was the subject of the sermon deliver- ed by Rev. Mr. Thompson, of Statesville, who used the Book of Esther as one which “reveals great principles of the divine gov- erment of the world and is a tonic for our times.” He pointed out that this was all the more remarkable because God is not mentioned in the Book of Esther but “whatever the reason for its omission the book reveals the power, plan, and providence of God.” The Front Street pastor gave a historical sketch of the Book of Esther as a background for his three-point discussion of God and and his people, the plan of God in history and confidence in the first point Mr. Thompson said that one of the truths of that Old Testament story was God’s rela- tionship to the Jews. He touched upon the efforts of nations and church in Statesville. The former spoke at the baccalaureate service | and the Statesville minister preach- ed to the Young People’s Societies | in the evening, both services being | well-attended, The text for the baccalaureate | sermon was the question of the) rich young ruler to Jesus, “Good | Master, what good thing shall I do | to inherit eternal life?” The speak- | er said that this rich young ruler | had what it seemed would guaran- | tee a successful life. He was rich| and young. He had made a success in life but he had failed to make a suecess of life. Mr. Fulton em- phasized that difference and main- tained that “success of life is | measured only in spiritual terms. | Life isn’t on the outside, but is inside of us.” “Everyone carries deep within him his own heaven or hell” said the Laurinburg pastor, and liken- ed life unto the glass houses at fairs by saying that “you keep bumping into yourself”, He then launched into a discus- sion of the things that Christ told the rich young ruler in reply to his query and mentioned first of all the admonition to keep the commandments. “There is a little word you must learn to say and mean it if you will find the rich and abundant life and that is the word ‘no’. You hear today a great deal about self-expression” and here he cited the instance of the prodigal son and the results of his seeking self-expression. “Walk in the way of ience to God’s to plot for the destruction of God’s chosen people. History reveals that nations are gone as empires, but the Jew remains. “If history teach- | es us anything,” he said, “it teach- $109,372.03 $86,137.96 $95,096.24 $95,054.35 $74,043.99 $67,477.77 $67,106.45 $77,857.90 $85,421.31 $95,274.42 $88,174.76 $88,087.56 the plan of God. In developing the | peoples, even in the current era, | es us that the Jew will survive.” | In elaborating upon his second point about God’s plan in history, | Rev. Mr. Thompson said that sometimes God works immediate- ly by first causes and on other occasions He uses casual and tri- vial events to work out his pur- poses. Here he brought jin his text, “On that night could not the king sleep”, stating that this par- ticular night of insomnia changed the King’s attitude toward the Jewish people, for he had his sec- retaries bring in the record and they happened to read from a par- ticular portion that Mordecai had once saved the King from assassi- nation. From that one act and the reading of it to the King, persecu- tion stopped. “Each and every event,” he contented, “is a link in the chain of divine Providence.” This led to the third item that “we should have confidence in the plan of God. To the human view everything seems opposite, but all events move forward to beautiful and precise timing. God is always in the field, even when he is most invisible. If to anyone today it should seem that force and injus- tice is supreme in Europe, or in the Far East, then remember that God stretches out His permitting, His controlling and His overruling hand.

This is the building that has been made possible with a $6.000.- 00 gift by Franklin Avery Sher- rill, of Statesville, in memory of his wife, Jennie White Sherrill. It is located close to the Burroughs building, where the office is sit- uated, and also near Little Joe’s Church, It is of brick construction. Large steel beams suppiort the roof of the structure, avoiding the necessity of using post sup- ports and thus interfering with the roominess of the floor where all of the printing equipment is located. in the basement is a room for the shoe shop and an extra one for storage. Above the shoe shop is a stock room for printing supplies where a larger stock of needed supplies in a year’s time ean be stored in the future. Available space is about three times what is was in the room of Alexander Cottage where the shoe shop and printing office were formerly jointly located, Having the shoe shop in the basement is a further advantage, for dust from leather will not set into the printing machinery. E, K, Kyles. in charge of both the shoe shop and printing office, worked out a scheme for the placement of the equipment that is along the as- sembly line style. lending efficien- cy to the work. Delegations visit- ing the Sherrill building will not have to twist and turn to avoid machine grease as they did when they viewed the old printing of- fice outlay. It is a great addition to the phy- sical equipment at Barium, and the gratitude existing at Barium Springs for the generosity of Mr. Sherrill in making this building possible will increase as the days, months and years go by as work steadily goes on in keeping the Home before the public, in pre- paring material for program use, in supplying the printing needs of the administrative office, and as boys get their preliminary training at Barium Springs to fit them for the printing profession.

A large number of the alumni of Barium, it is hoped here, ! will take advantage of a week's outing, The cost of the week at Camp Fellowship will depend upon the number attending. If ail of the 80 available bunks are reserved it is estimated that a week at the camp can be had for person, while the cost will increase if there is a smaller number, No- body is going to make a profit; ‘he bare costs will be charged the alumni. The maximum cost would not exceed $10.00 under any circumstances. Almunae can bring their ibands and children and alumni can bring their wives and children.

Not in- eluded in the total used in ob- taining these averages were the clothing fund money and the ‘hanksgiving Offerings, The true isis of the liberality of each in- «ividual Sunday School is reflect- ed in these averages. for the smaller Sunday Schools of Syn- od, in many instances, are among the top-most leaders, even though the amount was far below the total that could be contributed by Sunday Schools of huge size and larger wealth. Concord First Sunday Schoo} takes over the pinnacle of leader- ship in per capita giving in 1940- 1941 (it also happened that it was greatest numerically, too). displacnmg Warrenton Sunday which has been the leader for a good many years, The Presbytery of Concord also leads in the rating of the nine Presbyteries, replac- ing Kings Mountain Presbytery which has likewise been at the top for a good many fiscal periods. The first arrangement to the right is according to the per capi- ta amount of each Sunday School in each Presbytery. Mayo Miss‘on is leader in Albemarle; Concord First in Concord; Vass in Fayette- ville; Warrenton in Granville; Mount Holly in Kings Mountain; Morven in Mecklenburg; Madison in Orange; Jacksonville in Wil- mington, and North Wilkesboro in Winston-Salem, Immediately following is an ar- rangement of the so-called leaders in Sunday School giving: i. e., those Sunday Schools which regu- larly averaged as much as 50 cents per member.

Some of those 71, of course. re- ported regular gifts for the first time in 1940-1941 since the Offer- ing-per-month plan has been re- cently instituted, but it stills re- mains that they are the “top reports. & addition to these 71 there were a good many others that al- most reached new regular levels Being held _ before last year. ; them in 1941-1942 is the goal to reach new highs during ‘the semi-centennial year at Barium Springs.

How- ever, this is sometning which usu- ally happens every year, So it just about evens itself up over 4 per- iod of time, Encouragement logically follows when any increase can be noted. When June’s table of receipts is prepared it will then be a better guage as to what the trend in the viving of Synod will be in the year that marks a half-century period in the history of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home. June's reports were not of an encouraging na- ture in the early days of this month, The following shows the amounts received from each Presbytery in May, and the per capita averages for each Presbytery at the end of | | | polis : 3.00 Mrs. Briley Hobbs, New- port News, Va., Barium Alum- nae . snes i 5.00 Part of Memoria) being Helen A friend, established . : 200.00 Total Mise.

Because of this distinction, Mecklenburg Presby- tery displaced Kings Mountain, which had the honor of providing best in 1939-1940, Kings Moun- tain is now third and Concord is second, This is based on the num- ber ot children in the Home from each Presbytery as they were re- lated to the amount received from each territory. This is a different kind of tabu- lation than the “Table of Receipts” that appears in The Messenger monthly. This latter is based upon the amount given as it relates to the church membership in each Presbytery. However, the consti- tuency in each Presbytery can know from the ratings prepared for the July issue of the paper how well it is taking care of its own children.

Marth (Continued On Page Three) wr Pave Three QE OPPS PIPPI GD DOD I DIDI DOD IG s Co capeenoanionannien A former teacher and matron at Barium Springs attended the 1941 graduating exercises and her com- ment was of a nature that will| he highly ratifymg to friends everywhere. Here is a portion of her letter: “Since 1927, the year in which 1 made my ‘debut’ at Barium Springs, I have attended every commencement with the exception of one two years ago, Last night I attended the graduating exer- cises, remembering that some of them were my first graders at one time, To say that I was thrilled is ing it lightly, “Being the first to arrive after s were opened, Paul Horne me my choice of seats. I € one near the entrance so that I could see all who came in. s always, everything was won- ij and I was deeply appre- itive of the fact that it has been privilege to live with them » a While - a privilege for which always felt grateful Y : 1 have “Miss —— , a teacher who lives with us, told me this: ‘I am a Methodist and support that chyrch, but once I had saved $5.00 for something but didn’t know what. I was just saving it, Ac- ‘dentally, I picked up a paper and read something about Barium Springs and felt impressed to send| the money there, which I did, and} received a very gracious letter of | hanks, I felt very happy that I} ad sent it there.’ ” In Febn of this vear, de-; finite goals were suggested for Schools as they made, offerings of 1940-1941 | ium Springs (by the way,| 1 } ! ave Toy Bat approximately 85% of the goals|, more than met by those to| stions were offered).}| s written to the Men’s at Mount Holly, and} 7 said: was ey receive your letter did in time to take it before the class a it so happened 1e attendance was not so good, " not last Sunday. As erefore the collection did not up to par, was determined that you should not be disappointed so I got busy Monday and Tuesday in- terviewing some of the delinquents, which I usually do every month, and was very successful so am enclosing a check for $16.53 which is the contribution of the Men’s Bible Class for the month of March. As a matter of fact, I had made up my mind that if I could not raise the quota I would pay the difference myself.” Did you _ notice wo special rs in the letter that was ten? The first was that it was -ustomary for the treasurer_to sce -e who were absent on Sunday ond obtain their contributions for Barium. The second was that the treasurer was so determined to have an excellent concluding re- port that he was personally going to make up the difference of, the coal if he hadn’t obtained it from the class. One of the “baby” Sunday Schools of Synod is Common- wealth Avenue, in Charlotte, which adopted the offering-per-month nlan for Barium Springs almost immediately after a Sunday School was organized there. That Sunday | School also wanted to make a “rip- | roaring” conclusion in March, ani the letter that accompanied the! best offering ever made by that Sunday School is partially quoted 1 elow: “Our attendance = at Sunday } School last Sunday was badly cut | down because of an epidemic of | colds and sore throats. Consequent- | ly our collection was less than} the amount about which you | wrote such an appreciative letter. | When the sum was less than $5.00 I asked for permission to make | un the difference out of the trea-| surer’s balance, | “When the vote was taken to ‘Make it $5.00’ one member pro-} duced another dollar saying, ‘Let’s | make it six.’ Another handed in ‘ifty cents, a third a quarter and | others smaller amounts until we| had 50 to send you for this Sunday’s collection.” The above simply shows what fine results can be accomplished | with a little extra effort and an extra amount of interest in the | o’fering that is made each month. | From Westminster Sunday School in Orange Presbytery came an exceptionally large check in|} Mav, and an extra $5.00 in the total was explained 4s el of ‘nelosed is check for wrote some time ago that one : Interesting Items in the Mailbag THE BARIU LOELLLPLLLOOR DLS ? our church members, not a mem- | ; you remember he got behind and entertaining operett: gave me $3.00 to catch up.

We like our building because of the extra space that we have and did not have in Jennie Gilmer. Also, the rooms are easier to keep neat- er. Mr. Kyles’ family has charg? of our building. He is helped by two boys appointed as monitors. Woot Davis had to shave his mustash off. Boy, he sure looked good with it. They say he almost tickled someone to death with the little fussy thing. Yea, I almost forgot! Grover Ingram is planning a pretty big job - at least that’s what he told us. So everybody watch his steam. We wish to express our deep gratitude and appreciation to te} ladies who made it possible for us to have such a nice building to live Twelve boys are in our cottage now. BABY COTTAGE Second Floor Hello Friends, Here we come again bringing | you the high spots in the Au- gust news. We wish to thank Circle 3 of the Woman’s Auxiliary of the First Church, Mooresville, for the lovely picnic that they gave us Monday, Aug. 11th. Also, for the pennies they gave us to buy suckers with, for the jelly and for the nice playthings. We en- joyed their visit and hope they will all come back to see us again real soon. Just think, here it is just about time for school to start. Mary Frances Morris, Jackie Porter- field, Rachel Bullard, Sylvia Sue Buie, Helen Barnes, Barbara Ann Bradshaw and Peggy Ann Collins will all start to school this year, Ray Powell is the only one of us away on vacation. She went to visit her father in White- ville for two weeks, Lillie Bryant, one of our big sisters, is at camp this week. Janie Smith, our other big sis- ter, and Katie Dunn, one of our little girls, will go next week. We all have a good time at camp. Since we wrote you last, we have had another little girl to come live with us. She is Geral- dine Kayton, five years old. We like her very much and hope she likes to live with us. Barbara and Louise Bradshaw and Ray Powell have had visits from their people this month. Those of us who have had vacations are: Jane Feimster, Loretta Young, Helen Barnes, Sylvia Buie, May Hilliard, Peggy Joyce Land and Lillie Bryant. They have all reported nice visits with their people, Mama O’Kelly has returned from her vacation. While she was away Martha Adams stay- ed with us. We enjoyed having you stay wth us, Martha. We wish to thank Mrs. John Wright, Mrs. Henry Shuford and | little Ann Shuford from States- ville for the box of candy they brought us. We surely did enjoy August 194 qwrrrs ; Interesting Items The mail bag had many very) interesting items for the Barium Springs people, and we're passing along some of them because we think that friends throughout the Synod will rejoice with us over these encouraging and gratifying happenings. So here goes with a few of them: “Qwing to very inclement weath- er on Sunday, July 6th, as well as a very small attendance - a pos- | sible aftermath of the Indepen- dence Day celebration - which we saw was going to work a hardship upon our dependent children at Barium, we resolved to combine the offerings of both the first and second Sundays of July for their benefit. The results are en- closed.” That came from the Men’s Bible Class of the Greens- boro First Church and there were a couple of other instances almost similar to this, This happened jin the Men’s Bible Class of the Rockingham Sunday School, whose treasurer wrote as follows: “Some of the members of the Men’s Class of the Rockingham Church were ab- sent last Sunday and did not get their donations in for Barium Springs but wish to make it now. ‘Better late than never’.” The supplementary gift was $5.00. We don’t know how many men were involved in sending that $5.00, but it looks as if there might be a likelihood that they have a $1.00-per-month club in that Bible Class - men who pledge to give $1.00 on each Sunday when the response is taken for Barium Springs. The August gift from Rockingham Sunday School was a week late, being accompanied by this statement of the treasurer, “The Men’s Class wanted this to wait until this week for some that were not there on August 3rd.” From Albemarle First Sunday Pinak es Mailbag a qualms about the future welfare of \the boys and girls at Barium Springs. Instances like the three mentioned are occurring frequent- ly. The treasurers don’t always write about them, but when there is a rainy day, an exceed- ingly hot Sunday, or @ vacation period and the Offering holds up to the usual level, we know that somebody somewhere (and sometimes quite a few people are involved) are seeing to it that a generous support comes te this Home. There’s always a story in pictures, The cut used of the first graders last month meant $5.00 because of the attractiveness of the group. A friend in the eastern part of the state sent a check for that amount accompanied by the following letter: “I enclose herewith my check in a small amount which, subject to your epproval and your discretion, I would 1ke applied to buy candy or vencils and tablets or some little extra for the first graders whose pictures appear on the front page of the July issue of ‘The Bar.um Messenger’. They are a fine looking group of chil- dren, and I wish I could see them for a little while.” We wish this friend could see them, too. He lives about 250 miles from Barium Springs, but we hope sometime he’ll come to see us and the chil- dren. This leads into the revelation of something that happened on the campus at Barium Springs when a friend from another city came to see us with his Bible Class one The story was told us by the church secretary later on when we happened to be in the ‘city from whence this gentleman jhad come to Barium. The church secretary said that he left his city with approximately $20.00 in his pocket and when he start- ed the journey his interest in ;there aren’t any | will come School came a somewhat similar |the family here was of a nominal story.

A great many pictures are now being taken by an experienced photographer and his instructions were to get human interest pictures and lay a minor stress upon displays of the buildings. There has been no history is- sued of the Home here in a good many years and nothing of the type that will be published next month has ever been available for distribution. A special appro- priation was made in the budget fy this purpose this year, for it was felt that an attractive book- let should be issued during the semi-centennial year of the Home. It is going to be so designed and written that it can also be used by the Auxiliaries of the Synod for their November mect- ing on Barium Springs. Only a short time is available each year to present the Home, and there is no special period of study cov- ering several weeks. However, the history of Barium Springs could be appropriately studied by all of the Auxiliaries. A special set of questions will be prepared and sent to the local Orphanage Secretaries which could be used to constitute a quiz on the history | O2 Oe ROTTS EDL L TOI ILLS worry 3 Miscellaneous Gifts Neede When the treasurer of the $ Presbyterian Orphans’ Home returned from his vacation in July, he found the following no- > tation upon his desk from Miss Lulie E.

News About Some of the Alumni F ‘ % s ~ wre ENGAGEMENTS Norris- Wilson The Charlotte Observer of August 10th carried a picture of Lucile Norris, a 1938 graduate ef Barium Springs, under which appeared the announcement of he; engagement to Sergeant R. E. Wilson, now stationed at Fort Bragg but a native of Alamoosa, Colo. The wedding will take place this fall. Lucile has been a visitor to Barium Springs several times since she graduated, her last visit being at commencement, MARRIAGES. Jessup-Sloan. Charles Claybourne Jessup, a 1937 graduate of Barium Springs, and Miss Nannette Sloan, of Wal- halla, S. C., were married Friday, August ist, at 12 o’clock noon at the South Carolina home of the bride. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jessup had been living and working in Charlotte, there they met each other. They are now residing in that city, though their street ad- dress is not known at Barium Springs. Daniels-Harrison Nan Stewart Daniels, an alum- na of Barium Springs, of Char- jotte, was married on Sunday, Ju- ly 6th, to Lieut, Benjamin Stone Harrison, Rocky Mount native but stationed at Fort Benning, Ga. The wedding took place in the Presbyterian chapel at Montreat. After leavin; Barium Springs, Nan attended Peace Junior Col- lege at Raleigh, Lieut, Harrison attended State College at Raleigh and was graduated from Clemson, where he obtained his commission. They are at home at 2814 Ham- ilton Rd., Columbus, Ga. BIRTHS. Mr. and Mrs. Willard Thomp- son, of Statesville, announce the birth of a daughter, Frances Diane, on July 9th. Mrs. Thompson is the former Bernice Stone. PERSONALS. Mrs. Minnie L. Winn (the for- mer Minnie Lineberger who left Barium Springs in 1906 and who has been a patient at the State Hospital in Morganton for 25 years) recently sent a $1.00 gift to the — at Howard Cottage, where she was staying when she left this Home. The girls at Howard decided that they would use the $1.00 for material for handcraft work in their cottage, making pocketbooks and knitting bags out of material. This was 4 voluntary decision on their part and will be pleasing to Mrs. Winn who spends her time doing beauti- ful handwork in crocheting, em- broidering, quilting, etc. Harley F. Carriker, of Char- lotte, a Barium alumnus, has been made treasurer of the Huntington Bible Class of the Caldwell Mem- orial Church. This Class sends $300.00 a year to Barium Springs for the support of a boy here. In! July, Harley sent the first $75.00 for the initial quarter and accom- panied the check with the follow- ing comment: “I was proud to have been elected treasurer of my Class and I am also proud that my Class is able to pledge this $300.00 a year to Barium. I shall never for- get my days spent at Barium. They are the happiest memories of my life. I am always proud to teil the world that I spent about ten i years at Barium.” | After completing their prelimin- | ary training at Norfolk, Va., How- ard Beshears and James Dorton have been sent to the Trade School at the U. S. Naval Train-| ing School at Jacksonville, Fla.) Howard is in Barracks No. 4 and, , Jimmy in Barracks No. 1.

Walter Motte is. now undergoing a course of in- struction in the Woodworkers School of the Navy, at Norfolk, Va., entering that school on Ju'y 14th. He is expected to graduate from it a Petty Officer in his chosen branch of the Navy. Two Barium alumni happened to be in a delegation that visited Barium Springs on August 3rd from the George W. Lee Memorial Church in Winston-Salem. These were D. W. McelIver, of 318 W. 27th St. Winston-Salem, and L. M. McMannon, of Rural] Hall, which is near Winston-Salem. They are among the many former boys and girls returning to the campus here, Maybe the things we told the delegation that day was a familiar story to them. “How did George break his leg?” “Well, do you see those steps over there?” *¥ ea,”" “Well George didn’t.” Yue Society note: The ladies of the Helping Hand Society enjoyed a swap social on Friday evening. Everybody brought something they didn’t need. Many of the la- dies were accompanied by their husbands. P.O, Enthusiastic Mountain Guide: “Be careful not to fall here. It is dangerous.

Before the next issue of The Mes- senger is issued, the 1941 edition of the Golden Tornado at Barium Springs will have played a couple of games, so it is fitting and prop- er that a picture of the possibili- ties of the approaching season be present-d, as well as the complete roster »f gumes to be played by the var-ity. On raper, the Barium Springs varsity ts “in” for a football sea- son that will again place it among the toy, ranking teams of North Carolina high school circles. It was rated high last year, having a season that would have been perfect except for a defeat by Lexingron high. Another tough schedule is ahead of the Barium boys, who always play with a limi- ted amount of reserves because of the small number of boys in the' member of the family to die in ay high school here. Only thiree of the 16 lettermen | will be absent when the roster is called for the first practice after school opens.

July’s receipts were the best of any month so far. That is not a situation any different from nor- } mal, though, for after a quarterly period concludes many places file their initial reports of the year with the Home, The combined giv- Jing of Synod in April, May and June was $1,745.27, whereas 44,- 235.96 come in July alone. The |erand total of the past four |months is $10,981.28, which is labout what it takes to operate Barium Spring~ in a single month.

Norman and Wadsworth are available at end; Burney, B.

There will be newcomers from the 125-pound squad to give thase men plenty of competition for the posts they hope to occupy during the season. Morganton opens the schedule at Barium, on Sept. 19th, followed a week later when Barium plays its annual sensational game with Cen- tral high in Charlotte.

State Highway Paints Fence Around Campus “Don’t you have a new fence at Barium Springs?” asked sevér- al of the recent visitors to the Home. The answer was negative, but they are informed that it had recently been painted by the State Highway Department, which is the official owner of the fence that borders the highway which passes through the center of the campus. Not only was the fence painted by the highway department, but several days of work were pre- viously involved in repairing the fence completely. This included a replacement of that part of it torn down when a car crashed through this spring and every hit of it was carefully examined and repaired where necessary. When Highway No. 21 was paved in 1923, the state highway department erected this fence and also was responsible for the two underpasses used by the chil- dren. This was a safety measure and it has been responsible for the saving of an unknown number of lives, Had the boys and girls here had to cross this much- traveled highway, no doubt some fatal accidents and serious per- manent injuries would have re- sulted, Maybe the highway department heard that the Synod was going to meet at Barium Springs in Sep- tember and wanted to do its part serious nature. However, it is known here that all the precau- tions in the world cannot some- times prevent fatal accidents, and so no human credit is being taken for the record. The humans who have had anything to do with thie health of the children have been guided and directed by the Great Physician. Just how long this record can ' continue, nobody knows, but it is the hope and prayer of the people at Barium Springs and elsewhere that this continues uninterruptedly. The annual health examinations will continue to be made; precau- tionary measures will be taken; there will be vaccinations, inocula- tions, etc., and officials, nurses, physicians and surgeons will con- tinue to do their best in safe- guarding the health of the chil- dren and in caring for them in time of illness and accident. New Cottages Were Occupied Continued From Page One) |and Mrs, Homer Keever and their little girl are in another. The fourth apartment does not have a family in it, but is being used by some of the older boys who are monitors of that particular building. One of the buildings is known las the Cannon Cottage, given by Mrs. Adelaide Cannon Blair, of Washington, D. C., in memory of her father and mother, the late Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Cannon; one is known as the Stultz Cottage, given by Mr. W. Z. Stultz, of Charlotte, N. C.; one is known as the Synodicai Cottage (it may be later given another name by the Synodical), donated by the ladies of the Woman’s Auxiliary of the North Carolina Synod, and the other is as yet unnamed since the parties responsible for it have not allow- ed their identity to be revealed. Bronze tablets for three build- ings have been ordered, and_ until these arrive and have been placed, the boys are calling them “Quad 1, 2, 3, and 4”, When these tab- lets have been placed they will then know the name of their re- spective building. Bronze door- plates for the 27 rooms that have been furnished with $100.00 sums are also being prepared and slightly larger bronze plaques will soon be here for placement in each of the four living rooms that have been furnished ‘with $200.00 amounts. Visitors have been to Barium Springs since the buildings were occupied and all of them have been high in their praise. This will continue, and before this semi-centennial year is over it is felt that several thousand people will have made their in- spection. Sidewalks have been laid in the court, with a small fish pond in the center of the court, but the beautifying of the grounds is going to be gradual and will require some time for the shrubbery to grow and in get- ting a pretty stand of grass. to make the campus look, good for the gathering of this important body. ed until the Thanksgivin, Offer- ing arrives.

We also wish to thank Circle 3 of Mooresville First for the pretty curtains and play things they sent us for our playroom. The other day we went down to the football field to watch the boys practice football. Shirley Johnson saw the boys’ helmets laying on the ground and she told Mama O’- Kelly to “Look at those little pig- gies out there”. News head Some of the Cottages at Barium ; nonth they bring many papers and magazines that we can enjoy. They helped make it possible for us to get a new football, A few weeks ago they came to see us one afternoon and brought a_ picnic supper. We all went down to the spring and had a lot of fun to- gether, We have started our fall foot- ball practice. Everyone in our cot- tage is going out. We hope to make the team some day. J. D. Everett has taken over the job of kitchen boy. Herbert Cood is the mail boy now, All of the rest of us are truck farmers, except a few wno are “House Cate”. Since we wrote you last we have| had a little new girl to come live with us, Her name is Patsy Dean and she is two years old. School has started again and we are all going either to kindergar- ten or in the first grade. Most of us like to go but of course some of us don’t. Mrs, Robert Mills and _ babies spent a week with us this month. We certainly did enjoy their visit and we hope they will be back soon. Louise and Barbara Bradshaw, Helen Barnes, Lois Dellinger and Janie Smith have had visits from their people this month. We wish re people would come to see us. e door is open and all you have . do is just walk right in. We will have our first football ame here Friday, We 1 play Morganton and we hope to win.

The income over the August, 1940, giving was $221.69, for a five-month increase of $1,151.73. It is gratifying that this gain could be noted, and because of the larger giving to date, it is be- lieved here that this is indicative of other increases in the remain- ing seven months of the year. Every bit of the increase possible is going to be most helpful, for private individuals are fully ac- quainted with the decided upswing in prices recently. There is a, fam- ily of over 300 that must be taken care of at Barium Springs. Synod’s average in August was three cents per person, For five months, the 91,309 Presbyterians ot North Carolina have averaged 15.3 cents per member, which fig- ures out for a total of $13,752.09 arriving from Synod in that span | of time. Since Synod is in the ex- , 188 occurred it pected budget income for $95,000.- 00, it means that over $81,000.00 is to be contributed in che last seven months of the year. The trend of meagre receipts in the larger portion of a church period is a prevailing one, with the situ- ation slightly better because of the inerease noted above, For the first time in 1941-1942, the new memberships, as recount- | ed in the 1941 minutes of the General Assembly, were used in ascertaining the average for each Presbytery. There was a net gain of 404 Presbyterians in the 530- | edd churches during 1940-1941. Gains of 432 were made in Orange; 175 in Fayetteville; 98 in Winston- Salem; 75 in Albemarle and 62 in Concord Presbytery. Declines of Granville; 163 in | Mecklenburg and 114 in Wilming- ton.

Six People Wanted to Furnish Last Bedroom As An Alternative, Sleeping Porch Assignments Were Given to Four of Them The August copy of the Barium Messenger @was mailed out on Friday and in last month’s issue it was stated that one bedroom re- mained to be assigned for a $100.- 00 contribution, At noon the day after the paper was issued a tele- phone; call was received from Mrs. Gettys Guille, of Salisbury, say- ing that she wanted that bedroom in memory of her uncle, Mr. The- odore B. Brown. The assignment was made. On the following Monday a lady walked into the office and an- nounced, “I want that last bed- room.” She was told it was taken. On the Wednesday morning’s mail came a $100.00 check for the bed- room and Wednesday afternoon’s mail brought another $100.00 check for the same bedroom. Later a per- son called up by long distance and anothey wrote and said that if the room was not assigned, they want- ed it. Thus, a grand total of six people each wanted to give $100.00 to Barium Springs to complete the furnishings for 28 bedrooms and four living rooms in the new cot- tages. Four of these five people to whom the room could not be as- signed have said that they would permit the Home to use their $100.- | 00 gifts for the sleeping porches, ' for that sum will take care of the majority of beds that will be placed on them. Miss Ella Graham, Laurinburg, was the donor of one $100.00 sum; Mrs. R. E. Bobbitt, of Sanford, sent $100.00 in of her mother, Cornelia Shore Mc- Mrs. Adelaide Cannon Blair, of Washington, D.

These two sisters gave the building in memory of their father and mother, Mary Borden and Oliver ‘Terrell Wallace, of Wilmington. A commitment for the $10,000.00 was made B. Johnston, superintendent of by the then Misses Mary Borden and Nancy Wallace in January of 1940 but their identity was not re- vealed at the time, permission 1aving recently been given to make public their donors. Both were residing in New Yoru in 1959-1940, where Miss Naney Wallace was doing welfare work and where Miss Mary Borden Wallace was studying at Union Theological Seminary for her master of arts degree in sacred music. Since then, Miss Mary Bor- den Wallace was married to E. Lawrence Lee, Jr., of Wil- mington and New York, an« Mr. and Mrs. Lee are now res!- dents of Winston-Salem. Miss Nancy Wallace resided in Con- cord last winter but ts soon re- turning to New York to con tinue her welfare work. The late, Oliver Terrell Wal lace was originally from Ken tucky, but for many years was a real estate broker in Wil- mington before his death. Mirs. Wallace was Miss Mary Bor- den, of Wilmington, before her marriage and resided in that city during her lifetime. The structure given in their mem- ory will be known as the Wal- Jace Cottage. Another one of the quad- rangle is known as the Cannon Cottage, being the gift of Mrs. Adelaide Cannon Blair, of Washington, D. C., in memery of her father and mother, the late Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Can- non, of Concord. A third one is | known as the Stultz Cottage and was given by W. Z. Stultz, | of Charlotte, who is a deacon in the Myers Park Presbyter- jian Church.

From the hearty and generous response that has been made, it is to be regretted, in a way, that available rooms have given out. However, there are some windows in Little Joe’s Church that could be acceptably given as memorials. Three were given this spring, but there are eight other windows in the church. Not ali of these would have scenes in them, but they could still be in the form of me- morials without these, Teacher was testing the obser- vation powers of her class.

Mr. and Mrs. Jos. B. Johnston, ef Barium Springs, were distinct- ly, notably and appropriately hon- ored in Charlotte on October 22nd, when it was announced that the fourth unit of a quadrangle of cot- tages constructed at Barium Springs this year had been named the “Johnston” building in recog- nition of their worth and service to Presbyterian Orphans’ Home. This is the building that was con- structed with funds raised by the Presbyterian ladies in the Synod of North Carolina. The structure had been un- named until the executive board of the North Carolina Synodical, in annual session at Charlotte on October 21-23, met in that city on Tuesday and selected the name Johnston by which the building will be known. The names of the other cottages previously announced are Cannon, Stultz and Waliace. Public revelation of this pleas- ing decision to thousands of peo- ple followed the report of Mrs. Cc. E. Raynal, of Statesville who is completing four — of work as secretary of orphanage endea- vor in the Synodicai. When she finished her report she read a let- ter of appreciation to the ladies from the boys who occupy the Johnston Cottage and to which the name of every occupant had been signed. She then presented Miss Louise Clanton, under whose re- gime as president, the effort to raise $10,000.00 was launched and during whose tenure of office con- siderably more than that sum was raised. Miss Clanton then revealed that the name Johnston had been chos- en, and in the same connection she officially presented the cottage to the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home. Mr. and Mrs. Johnston were both present and Mr. Johnston acknow- ledged the gratefulness of the Home for the building and spoke feelingly of the honor that had been bestowed upon him and Mrs. Johnston. The word “Johnston” has alrea- dy been lettered over the transom of the door to that building, the names of the others already being on the cottages, Mr. and Mrs. Johnston have been at Barium Springs since July of 1922—almost two decades—and the naming of this building for them is an appreciation on their devotion to the children of Barium Springs and of their contribution to the life of the Home here. Another Window Is Given to Little Joe’s Sums Have Been Contributed for Two Windows im the Church at Barium Springs Mr. and Mrs. Jas. H. Clark, of Elizabethtown, were among the nine different parties wanting to furnish the last bedroom in the new cottages constructed at Ba- rium Springs, but since that room had already been assigned the are allowing their $100.60 chec to be used to furnish a stained- glass window with emblems in Lit- tle Joe’s Church, The September issue revealed that Miss Beulah Johnston, of Mooresville, was giving a $100.00 sum in memory of her sister, Miss Flossie Allison Johnston, for a similar window, This check has (Continued On Page Four) BARIUM SPRINGS, N.

In connection with the annual report of the Board of Regents of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home to the Synod of North Carolina on the afternoon of September 24th, Dr. J. R. McGregor of Bur- lington, board president, announ- ced a gift of $10,000 by Ralph S. Robinson of Gastonia “for the pur- pose of erecting units of cottages for a children’s village, which is to be similar to the new cottages recently erected, but which will be smaller but less expensive cot- tages to be used by the smaller children.” Dr. McGregor also revealed that Mr. Robinson, who wrote to Ba- rium Springs in the middle of September and said that he want- ed to give $10,000 for this pur- pose, was making the gift in mem- ory of his uncle, the late David Montgomery Jones of Gastonia, and in honor of his aunt, Mrs, Da- vid Montgomery Jones, who is fee PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS D ae . rey } tg p VRE TARE, PUOUALEL In First 50 Years... . 2034 Children at Barium!

The Synod stood in apprecia- tion to the ladies of the North Carolina synodical and to the in- dividuals who made these possi- ble. Rev. John A. Redhead, pastor of the Charlotte Second Presby- terian Church, led the body in 4 prayer of thanksgiving for the Home during the past half-centu- rry. | The only donor of any of the five | buildings to Barium Springs who | could be present at Synod was Mr. Franklin Avery Sherrill, who rep- resented the Statesville First Church as an elder. Mr. Sherrill was on the rostrum during this presentation and at its conclusion remarked to Synod that he thank- ed God that He had given him pos- sessions to make possible his $6,- 000.00 gift to Barium, and that he hoped others would make similar contributions. This was Mr, Sher- rill’s last public appearance, for he died on Saturday, October 18th, following an illness of three weeks cnn 4 > Notice To Alumni 3 Alumni of Barium Springs l2 will have their second Home-Coming of 1941 on $§ Friday, November 21st - the day after Thanksgiving. > Since this will be a holiday > week-end following Thanks- giving Day a much larger- than-usual attendance is ex- pected, for some will be able to be away from home over the extended period.

As you know Synod accepted our invitation and we hope they had a delightful stay with us here at Barium. Thanks to Mr. Sams for invit- ing us to see “Golden Hoofs”, with Jane Withers and Charles (Buddy) Rogers. We certainly did enjoy it. Mrs. Southerland, our matron, has recently had a visit from one of her friends, Mrs, Paxton Davis from Winston-Salem. I know she enjoyed it very much, John Collins had a visit from his mother, grandmother and aunt. I know he enjoyed seeing them very much, Yesterday was children’s day at the fair so the youth of Barium was invited. We wish to thank Mr, Neel and everyone who made it possible for us to go, because | we certainly enjoyed ourselves. We will be signing off for this month, but be looking for us next month in “The Barium Messen- ger”. —The Baby Cottage Boys. SYNOD’S. Since we last wrote you we have had visits from our friends and preachers when the Synod met here. We enjoyed having them, Mr. Luke showed us some mov- ing pictures of the children in his seven churches in the mountains. These were of Daily Vacation Bi- ble schools. The pictures were col- ored and we enjoyed them so much, Mr. Sams invited us to the pic- ture show to see Jane Withers play in “Golden Hoof.” We want to thank him. We played football against Mills Home at Thomasville and won, 13- 0. That’s all for this time. —The Wigglers. INFIRMARY. Helio Friends, We have been having football games, which everyone have been enjoying very much. We have played Morganton, Charlotte, Mills Home, Spencer and Children’s _ Home, We won all of them, ex- cept Charlotte, which we tied, We are very proud of the record. We surely did enjoy having Syn- od with us for a few days and we are hoping they will be with us again before long. 7 We want to thank the Maggie Rose Bible Class of the First Pres- byterian Church of Fayetteville for the beautiful pictures they sent us for the Infirmary. They will add cheer for the children. We have three new children who have come to live with us. They are Shirley, Linda and Patty Clare Inman. We hope we can make them feel at home. Elaine Faircloth, one of our girls, has moved to the Woman’s Building but we are glad to have Mae Allen Barrett in her place. We hope she will like to live with 8. . We want to thank Mr. Sams |for inviting us to see “Golden Hoofs”, We enjoyed it lots. We are glad to have Dr. Martin, the dentist, this week and for the coming weeks. We are all very glad to have our teeth inspected and filled when needed, We want to thank Mr. Neel for inviting us to the fair. We all en- joyed it very much and had a grand time. We appreciate Mr, Johnston ar- ranging it so we can go to David- son to see the football games they play at home. —Beulah Baldwin. —Martha Price. HOWARD. Hello Folks, This is Howard Cottage bring- ing you the news of the month. = hope you will enjoy reading this. We were glad to hear that Syn- od enjoyed themselves. We cer- tainly did enjoy having them with us, We sure did enjoy the fair. And the six big tickets. We also enjoyed the free shows we have been going to see. The girls who get the show tick- ets were Ida Lee McBride, Ha- zel Walker, Vivian Jacumin. Joyce Katen had a chance to have one. but didn’t take it because she does- n’t like to go to the show. We are very glad to have the new children come to stay with us. Hope they will like it up here. We have been stringing lots of beans every day. By the way, we had October’s birthday table today and every- body’s birthday that is in Octo- ber got to go to it. The girls at Howard are Virginia Presnell, Gwendolyn Landrum and Grace Morgan and Mjiss Burgess, our matron. Well folks that’s all. Bye, bye now and we will be seeing you. —The Beanstringers.

October | 941 The Synod of North Carolina, as is its custom wherever they meet, prepared some resolutions of thanks as they neared adjour- ment when they met at Barium Springs in September. Part of the thanks is presented below, for it is felt that the public in general will be interested in the gratefulness of Synod for the entertainment at Barium and their reaction to the Home here. The portion of the resolution printed below has_al- ready been read to the Barium boys and girls: The Synod desires to ex- press its sincere and heartfelt thanks for the entertainment received at Barium Springs during these days of our meeting together; to Mr. Jos. B. Johnston for his careful and thoughtful planning and arrangement and the splendid cooperation of the whole staff in the office, dormitories and dining room, for the many extra gifts which have been showered on us at every turn. We have been served most merously by the papers of arlotte, Statesville, Win- ston-Salem, Greensboro, and Raleigh, through the free dis- tribution of their papers to the members of Synod, They have gone out of their way and taken considerable trouble in this connection and for this we are grateful. Above all we would mention the part the children of the Home have had in this enter- tainment, the cheerful way they have given their quar- ters and suffered other in- conveniences, the many ways in which they have served us in the dining room and with numerous small courtesies on the campus. There hes been on every hand a genuine solic- jtude for our well being which has contributed in every way not only to make us comfortable, but making this meeting one of unique happiness. We go away with out hearts warmed again to this institution and those who live and work here. We request that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the management and read to the children. Respectfully submitted, J. O. Mann, Chairman. ’ Thanksgiving Saurus | } Are Now Arriving Several friends have been sending Thanksgiving Offerings { to Barium Springs, with the $ request that they be credited ¢ to specific churches - a request that is acceded to faithfully and 3 diligently at Barium Springs. $ These friends know of the use- { ¥ fulness of these sums to the Home before the major amount of the Thanksgiving Offering ¢ arrives and it has been theught- > ful and considerate of thern to make their Thanksgiving do- nations prior to the actual sea- son, _ One was a $100.00 check ered- ited to the Myers Park Pres- 32 byterian Church and two $39.- $ > 00 checks came from friends in > West Raleigh Presbyterian Church.

These are two windows which wil] flank a central window on the side of the church. The central window, in which there will be an appropriate scene, will cost $375.- 00, according to an estimate made some time ago (it might cost $490.- 00 now), and as soon as this win- dow is provided for, the three will be prepared. For a harmonious ef- fect it is best to have all three done at the same time. it may be recalled that the front windows of the church were given as memorials this spring. The photograph on the front page of this Messenger is the central win- dow in that series, the scene be- ing “Christ Blessing Little Chil- dren.” This was also used for the front cover of the 32-page history and it is being utilized in the Thanksgiving leaflets that have been prepared and will be avail- able for individual members in all charches during the Thanksgiving season, na, ey ms ar- um the vill 283 ont she al- rr e e e d @e @ Ww PL E . — oo FP Ol l e mL ee ee e Rg MM Be e BU ri d The Barium Messenger Published by Presbyterian Orphans’ Hom Vol. 19 re e r r u y Several things are revealed in the above picture. which the 1941 Thanksgiving of of mail are annually delivered to Barium. ing lime for the alfalfa fields. can be seen in the background.

This regular gain on the part of the churches has been gradually rising for the past seven months, with the net glow- ing result that was announced in the preceding sentence, Through last month Thanksgiving Offer- ing that totaled $236.00 had been welcomed here, this being $4.50 more than had arrived through: October of 1940. As November was entered, these facts were tremendously encour- aging to officials, for it is felt | that this larger regular giving is going to be reflected in a greater Thanksgiving Offering in the sea- son of 1941. Early reports would seem to verify that feeling, for without exception the Thanksgiv- ing Offerings in hand on Tues- day, November 18th (the day that | this is being written) were as} great, or greater, than those in 1940. All but two Presbyteries were ahead of last year’s giving. The two behind were Concord and Win- ston-Salem with respective de- creases of $48.05 and $133.89. Gains were noted in the other sev- en Presbyteries as follows: Meck- | lenburg, $761.85; Granville, $395.- 77; Orange, $229.80; Fayetteville, $180.98; Albemarle, $131.11; Kings Mountain, $115.45, and Wilming- ton, $93.51.

THE ORPHANS From The Charlotte Observer of November 20, 1941: There are more than 40 homes for orphans in the two Carolinas, filled up to overflowing with the fatherless and the motherless. The greater number of these fine and important institutions are under the chaperonage of either churches or fraternal orders, And every one of them is customarily in need of far greater revenues than are available for the thorough services they must give day after day to these little children. The custom is for | ing Day to be race the it for sp ial miribytim io the causi ory sages and, in be- ach of these 40 such in- is within the Carolinas. this newspaper bespeaks the kind and generous remembrance of the public today. Whether through the sponsoring agencies or directly, all might well make it a point today, to con- tribute to a cause so noble as this and one that should appeal deeply to the sympathies and emotions of the public. In some instances, these orphan- ages are literally dependent upon Thanksgiving donations to provide them with necessary sinews of yearly financing. That holds especially for one of the larger and better known of these institutions, that at Ba- rium Springs under the sponsor- ship of the Pr cabyterians of North Carolina. tinued on its past and present high seale of efficiency and excellence.

We sure do thank Miss Burgess for the set-up. Just three of our girls got the show tickets over here. They were Mary Morgan, Margaret Bullard and Kathleen Munroe. Only one over here made the Honor Roll and that was Joyce Katon, Two of our girls went to the First Presbyterian Church in Gas- tonia Sunday and they sure did have a good time. They were Jacu- min and Ida Lee McBride. We have had some of the cloth- ing boxes and we sure are happy over them. It will not be long he- We are working hard in school | fore Christmas and we can wear so we can bring home good report cards, Miss Taylor is going to give a) prize to the boy who works hard- | est on his lessons.—The Wigglers. | HOWARD.

Since that time we’ve had lots of visitors. We had the pleasure of wel- coming several members of the Board of Regents to Barium_for a short visit. These were Mrs. Stowe, Mrs. Patterson, Miss John- ston and Mrs. Little. We wish to thank Mrs. Stowe for the nice Hallowe’en favors and LOPE LI LIL OL OL DDL LOI IIIS Deep sympathy is being expressed to Mr, John Wes- ley Ervin, in charge of the carpenter’s shop at Barium Springs, in the loss of his mother in November, She was 86 years of age.

We alsv wish to thank Mrs. Little for the nice large box of gum. We all en- joyed chewing it, Three of our boys, Johnny Col- lins, Clyde Dellinger and Perry Williams have had visits from their people. I know they enjoy- ed having them, We want to express our appre- ciation to Circle 4 of Mooresville First for the nice drinking cups and large bundle of comic sheets. We had one boy, Billie Burke, to go to the birthday table last month and from what we heard, they had a very good dinner. All of our new boys are getting along nicely and we hope they feel at home; just as we hope everyone else feels when they visit us, When asked to relate his ex- perience on a recent trip, to Gas- tonia, this is what Billy Burke, a three-year-old boy at our cottage told: “Well, I went with Mr. Keever. In the Home where we went, the little girl let us play with her toys. We colored with paint brush- es and crayons. We blew soap bubbles, For dinner we had apples, chicken, potatoes, cake and ice cream. I wanted chocolate, but Perry Williams wanted chocolate mixed up with vanilla, We also had squash and_ beans. The lady rang a little bell at the table and a colored woman brought out some hot biscuits and butter. The preacher talked about the Devil. He had a light on his speaker (pulpit) so he could see how to read the Bible. At the horse barn we saw a new little horse that would kick, I saw one little chick- en. There was a little dog brown all over. In the playground there was a wooden slide board with little low sides and one swing. They gave me a balloon and a nickel. On my way back I saw an airplane light tM&t shines round and round. I wore my new brown shoes, — corduroy coveralls and jacket and green and white shirt.” —The Baby Cottage Boys. INFIRMARY. Hello Friends, Here we are with the news of the Infirmary. We haven't lost a game in foot- ball yet. We are very proud of our record. We have just one more game to play and we hope we win. Our Home-Coming is the 21st of this month. We hope all the old Barium folks will be here. We are going to play Salisbury and it is going to be a good game, Since we wrote you we have had five children to come to live with us. They are as follows: Bennie McGregory, Nina and Mack Ber- ryhill, and Mary and Marie Mc- Neill. We hope they will enjoy living with us. Beulah Baldwin and Martha Price were invited to the skating rink in Statesville. They reported a grand time, but you should have seened their blue knees. Lilly Belle Smith, one of our girls, had the pleasure of going to Davidson and Charlotte to sing. We haven’t had many sick an we all think the reason for this ig we have had so many nice ap- ples to eat. As you know, the old saying is “An apple a day will keep the doctor away”. _ Guess we will sign off for this time but you will hear from us again next month, —The “Little” Nurses. RUMPLE HALL. Hello Friends, _ Here are the dishwashers com- ing to you again from station R. H. C. We don’t write often, but we think of you just the same. We have a new friend in Mrs. Troutman and her auxiliary from the First Presbyterian Church in Hickory. We want to thank them for the lovely pictures, waste bas- kets, scissors and paste they brought us a few days ago. We surely do appreciate them, Each girl was given her choice of pic- ture and the girls that roomed to- gether selected the waste basket they liked, as there was one for each room. We also want to thank Miss Mayhew of the First Presbvterian Church in Mooresville for the nice things her circle has been doing for us throughout the past sum-| mer, They have given us a cro-| quet set, wash clothes, funny pa-| pers, magazines and hair ribbons. | It sure does seem good that | Christmas is just a few weeks! around the corner. We ali can} hardly wait. Since we wrote, we have all| received our new. winter shoes. | Everyone looks nice in them. We are going to see “Week-end | In Havana” with Alice Faye and} John Payne. We know it will be good, Now that the pecan orchard has | been opened up to the childrey, | everybody goes around with their | pockets full of nuts, We also have | all the apples we can eat. Begin- | ning today, we will have a small cup of tomato juice when we | in from school in the afternoon. | We will sign off until next} time. } —-Helen Hawley. | —Hannah Price. WOMAN’S BUILDING. Football has taken the _lime- light here as in the other buildings. We have a very excellent team this | year, having been undefeated for | the entire season and scored on, only twice. One of the nicest trips | was the jaunt over to Albemarle | for the game there several weeks | ago. Next week-end we look for- | ward with a great deal of pleasure to the Home-Coming game with Salisbury. Not only are we ex-| pecting to see some high class | football but also many of the form- | er members of our big family who | will be with us during Thanks- | giving week-end. Speaking of Thanksgiving re- minds us of so many things that | we have to be especially grateful | for this year. One is the kind of friends who just seem to lie awake | thinking up nice things to do for! us. Particularly the Mooresville | Business Women’s Circle is this kind of friend. Not only do they | remember our birthdays individu- ally, but they are constantly re- membering us as a cottage, Early | in the fall we had a lovely visit | from them (they brought the re- freshments) and the cottage re- ceived material enough to cover two of our living room chairs. Just last week they again remem- bered us with a box just crammed with jars of the grandest jelly and jam. We thank them so much for remembering us so continually. Recently a number of our girls appeared in a chapel program featuring the glee-club and mem- bers of the Graded School Music Class. They sounded very good to us. We are looking forward to hearing them again soon. One of the best motion pictures that we have seen this past month was, “Week-end in Havana” whic was a technicolor. We enjoyed it very much, The colors were beau- tiful and the music delightful. Basketball has begun, We prac- tice every evening from five o’- clock until six. A large number of our girls are taking part in this sport. From this early practice we believe that our girls’ team will be exceptionally good this year. All the players have had some ex- perience on the court, We are mighty grateful that subscriptions to five magazines have been renewed by the Char- lotte Second Auxiliary, They come to the second floor girls. but we all enjoy them. ANNIE LOUISE. This is the Annie Louise girls bringing you the news of the month, Since we last wrote you, we have gotten our report cards for the first time this year. Six of our girls made the honor roll, They were Eloise Morris, Betty McMan- nen, Annie Louise Campbell, Shir- ley Inman, Pat Inman, and Elsie Vest. Jeane Steppe and Elsie Vest went to the meeting of the Music Club in Miss Green’s studio and enjoyed it very much. Eloise Morris, Elmina Johnson, Peggy Joyce Land and Ray Powell have been to Davidson and to Charlotte to take part, with others, in programs presented by some of the Barium boys and girls. Miss Mary Reid gave us a nice Hallowe’en party in our cottage, and we had a good time. Peggie Joyce Land had received boxes of candy and cookies from some of her relatives and she served them as part of our refreshments. We al- so had punch and some cookies that Miss Reid served. We are looking forward to Thanksgiving because we get out of school two days. Be looking for us in the news next month. —Annie Louise Girls. November 1941 What the Visitors Thought of (Continued from Page One) is a teacher at Union Theological Seminary and lives in Richmond, but whose membership is still in this Syned, came the following: “This is just a note to let you know how thoroughly I enjoyed being at Barium Springs. It did my heart good to see how happy the children were, and how well they were being cared for. You are doing a grand work, and I rejoice with you in it, Enclosed is a small check, I wish it were $10,000.00.” t random these are some other comments, each paragraph rep- resenting some extract of a letter. “May I express to you * * * my appreciation of all the splen- did treatment that was accorded us while at Barium, Don’t think I was ever treated more royally. I shall always remember these kindnesses.” “As one of the Chaplains who had the pleasure of attending the meeting of the Synod of North Carolina * * * I wish to thank you for the excellent service and the kind hospitality. You and your aides made the occasion a most enjoyable one. Appreciation is ex- pressed for all the trouble you were caused by our entertain- ment.” “I enjoyed very much my visit to the Home and your gracious hospitality, * * * The Home is certainly a credit to you and those in charge as well as to the Pres- byterians of North Carolina. I congratulate you on your achieve- ments, and the manners of the fine childdren we saw while there. This was my first visit, but I hope not my last.” “J want to thank you and all connected with your fine institu- tion for everything done for ovr comfort, pleasure and efficiency during our Home Mission confer- ence and meeting of Synod. * * * Your kind thoughtfulness was manifested on every hand.” _ “May I just take enough of your time to thank you for your many courtesies to me during the meet- ing of Synod, I certainly enjoyed my stay at Barium Springs and deeply appreciate all that was done for my comfort and enter- tainment.” “This is just a brief note to ex- press to you my gratitude for the very pleasant stay I enjoyed with you during the session of Synod. My every wish was anticipated and met in a way which warmed my heart. I shall never forget the h| few days I was with you. You may always count me a warm friend and ardent supporter of Barium Springs. In times past Barium was just a name to me, but now it is a great institution which lies near to my heart. The behavior of the children and their happy co-opera- tion made a deep impression upon us all.” “Your entertainment of Synod was all that could be asked for and we greatly appreciate your courtesies.” “Thank you for your kindness and hospitality and the fine way in which you made us all comfort- able and at home during our stay for Synod.” “Please let me thank you for the way you, the men and women and the boys and girls entertained us. while your guests at Synod. Wish I eould have been longer with you. I enjoyed talking with the boys and girls, They were re- sponsive, courteous and efficient. I send my appreciation and all good wishes.” “Though we had an unusually good meeting of Synod, a large part was the wonderful way in which we were provided for while there. I know all the Synod appre- ciated it and went home with a warm feeling for Barium Springs.” “It was a great pleasure to be entertained by you folks at Ba- rium during Synod. It gave me 80 much better understanding of what you are doing. It is a grand work, and I am proud that my church has so much of a part in it.” _ “We still talk about the good time we had at Synod, and the royal way you and your good peo- ple entertained us. * * * In my judgment, nothing could have plac- ed that Home in its proper light before the Presbyterians of North Carolina in such a satisfactory (Continued On Page Three) ral nd, in ou lid Py ell re ce ll ?

Miss Eleanor Eudy and Mr, Sam Cagle were married Friday eve- ning at 7 o'clock in_ Little Joe’s Church at Barium Springs with the pastor of the church, Rev. ¥ C. Cook, hearing the wedding vows, The simple, impressive ceremony was vitnessed by a group of rela- tives and close friends of the young couple. Ferns and yellow chrysanthe- mums were used as altar decora- tion, forming a setting for the bridal pair, who entered together, unattended. The bride wore a win- ter green suit of velvet with brown accessories and her flowers were pink rosebuds in shoulder corsage arrangement, Mrs. Cagle was educated at Ba- rium Springs and since her gradu- ation in 1940 has made her home in Concord, She is a_ sister to Miss Emma Eudy and Mrs, Ed. Flowers of Statesville. Mr. Cagle is from Concord and he and his bride will make their home there. Munroe-Daves.

It was my first opportunity to become ac- quainted with Barium and I, now more than ever, realize the great work you are doing for us all. It was an inspiration to be there.” “Tt was a privilege to have at- tended the recent meeting of Syn- od. There were many expressions of pleasure that came to my ears during the sessions over the op- portunity of coming into such con- tact with the Home, and everyone whom I talked with seemed to thor- oughly enjoy the whole of our stay.” EDITOR’S NOTE: That was accompanied by a $10.00 check. “Let me say that I certainly did enjoy my stay at Barium. You and every one connected with the Home certainly did entertain us royally. Don’t see how every in- terest - large and small - could have been locked after more splen- didly and satisfactorily, You have a great institution and are doing a most worthy and enduring work.

The Offering from the body this year is already more than it was in 1940, and some of those reporting donations a year ago had not yet sent gifts to the Alumni Associa- tion Secretary, Miss Lucile Burn- ey, at Barium Springs, She will be glad to swell the total by any amount that alumni want to send to her.

Every month we are called on for some news from our building, and every time we try to tell something new, But this time we may mix something old with the new, so don’t think this is last month’s Messenger. We have written our Christmas letters and are planning for a big Christmas. There are fifteen boys in our building, namely: John Ammens, Howard Clark, Esau Da- s, Billy Everette, Raymond Good, Amos Hardy, John Hawley, Char- les Hooten, Charles Smith, Buford Robinson, Douglas Ryder, Billy McCall, Jack McCall, Tom Mc- Call and Hugh Norman, who will enjoy Christmas in the Cannon Building. We have one boy in our build- ing who has a hobby of catching rabbits in rabbit hollows. His name is Tom McCall. He gets up before dawn and tracks down his rabbits, then before school makes them ready for cooking. All but three of our members received football letters at our banquet, December 5. Our four larger boys, the McCall trio, and Hugh Norman, received letters for helping our varsity to win the football championship, Every Sunday we are rushed in getting our building in shape for visitors. Because when visitors come, they prefer our building to the others. So if anyone wants to visit any of the Quads, visit the Cannon building. (Editor’s Note: For fear the bragging in the preceding para- graph might cause hostilities among the four cottage groups of the quadrangle, it had better be explained that the apartment in Cannon is the only one not oc- cupied by a private family. It is to give visitors a complete survey of a typical building that they are taken to Cannon Cottage.) BABY COTTAGE Second Floor Hello Folks, Here we are month’s absence, We are all looking forward to seeing Santa come down our old chimney again with his sack full of toys, Mary Frances Norris, Helen Barnes, Barbara and Louise Brad- shaw, Linda Inman, Lilly Bryant and Janie Smith have had visits from their people.

SYNOD’S COTTAGE Dear Friends, More nice things have happened to us this month, Some of the ladies of the Auxil- iary from Mooresville who have adopted us for this church year, paid us a visit in November. They had a real party for us. Fruit, candy, cake, magazines, games, and ta crown it all a used victrola that we can play records on our- selves. We enjoyed it all so much. Every little boy thinks his lady is the sweetest. We want to thank them again for all they have done for us. Then just a few days ago, some ladies from the Earnest Workers’ Sunday School in Reidsville sent us a box of cuddle toys to sleep with, elephants, rabbits, dogs, cats, etc. Miss Taylor let us choose which one we wanted, We are having such a good time with them, they are so nice and soft. Finally some ladies from Durham brought each one of us a paddle- ball, Everybody seemed to try to make Thanksgiving nice for us. We have a little new boy stay- ing with us. We hope he likes to stay with us. Well, we must close now. —The Wigglers. HOWARD COTTAGE This is the W. F. K. station with you again. We have lots of news for you this month.

By the way, we don’t get tired of eating candy and suckers, either! Goodbye now. Your little friends, Annie Louise Girls. JOHNSTON COTTAGE. Hello Friends, ., This is about the first time we have written some news; and we still haven’t much to say. We had a very successful foot- ball season this year, having lost no games and tying only one. We also won the South Piedmont Con- ference. We had our football banquet Friday, December 5th. Football letters and awards were given, and we had a very good supper. Paul “Admiral” Burney has the wak situation figured out. It’s wonderful how he does it. When he gets his spit-fires out, he can really “go to town”, We are all looking forward to Christmas and hope all of you have a fine time. Rutherfordton, STULTZ COTTAGE Here we are again with the last-minute news of what is hap- pening at our cottage.

We hope she will enjoy her stay at Barium the Cannon building, We haven’t had many patients. We hope we won’t i drawing near Christmas and we all want to be free for a while. We will be signing off next month, so be on the out for us, The “Nurses” and The “Cooks. WALLACE COTTAGE Hello Folks, Here we are again you the news from the building, bringing Wallace found us with a grand record of 10 wins, no losses and 1 tie. Bas- ketball and wrestiing have start- ed and most boys from over here are going out. Our new buildings are really warm these cold days and we are thankful that we are able to live in them.

He practically lives in the woods over the week-end, and that boy has an arm like Bob Feller. He can knock a bird off a limb at 20 paces, Well, that’s about all the news for this time. See you next month. LEES’ COTTAGE Christmas is almost here and we are all looking forward to the holidays. It is always a happy time at Barium. Our friends are so good to us. We have two new boys in our cottage. They are Ray and Earl Huddleston.

We appreciate all the nice things our friends do for us. Bill Price has some rabbit hol- lows he is looking in every morn- ing. We hope he will find a catch soon, All of the boys in our cottage attended the football banquet on Friday evening. We had a good time. We are always glad to have our friends visit our cottage.

Miss Warner is a gred- uate of Barium in the Class of 1932. We now know that Mrs. Dorothy Weeks Ward’ is Mrs. Yates Wan, of Gastonia. We mentioned in last month’s Messenger that she was married, but we did not have any of the details. She promptly fur- nished them to us, and we confess that we ought to have seen the announcement in The Charlotte Observer, for it duly appeared in that paper and read, “Mr. and Mrs. R. S, Carter announce the marriage of their granddaughter, Dorothy V. Weeks, to Joseph Yates Ward en Sunday, July 6, 1941, York, South Carolina.” Dorothy went on to say that she is now working as bookkeeper in the J. C. Rose Cot- ton Co., that her husband is work- ing in the Gastonia Accessories Corporation, both firms in Gas- tonia, and that they live at 1011 W. Airline Avenue in that city. Quite a few honors have come to former Barium boys in the a‘h- letic world. David Spencer was voted the most valuable player on Davidson’s 1941 team, played in the all-star game between North and South Carolina at Greenville, and will play in the North-South game at Montgomery, Ala. the last of this month. Marley Sigmon has been made captain of the 1942 football team at Appalachian, he was invited to play in the Green- ville, S. C. game, was a member of the All-Carolina smaller college teams and was also an ali-stater on the Little Six in North Caro- lina, Arthur Roach was co-captain of the freshman team at Davidson this fall.

We earried the bali much further than Char- lotte did and all of the statistics of the game were in our favor, but it remained a As we look back on the season now, that was probably the best game that Charlotte put up all season. Their coaches think so. This game was scoreless tie. and we played on Saturday night, the 27th. Just six days later we took on Mills Home at Thomasvlle. This was the only played sluggish game our boys played ail year. We defeated Mills Home 13-0, but for a time it looked like that would be another tie game. Hugh Norman, the captain made both touchdowns in that game - the first one was a pass from Fletcher and the other one from scrimmage. After the Mills Home game we tained Spencer at Barium. Spencer a team that looked mighty g - so good, in fact, that in the first division of Piedmont teams and thet hey division. They enter- was year ded South that ago the meant had to play the other teams in that had one boy who had made quite a reputation - the ealled him Old 97, but somehow other he failed to roll in this particular game, and the final score was 57-0 in favor of Ba- rium, On October 10th we took on our tradi- tional rivals, the Children’s Home. This team that has ruled the roost in this neck-of-the-woods for quite some years. Barium defeated them last year for the first time in about seven years. This year for the whole first half our team was nervous and fumbled good deal, and while they looked superior to the Children’s Home boys, they couldn't get the ball across to pay dirt! They tore loose in the second half, however, scoring three touchdowns and winning 21-0. Children’s Home still remains one { the stronger teams of the Conference - plays all the tough teams and doesn’t stand as high in the final analysis as some of the others that play weaker teams. On October 24th our team went Gastonia to wind up the series with that big team. We have been playing Gastonia for a number of years, but the Gastonia officials think they should concentrate more on Class A games, so this was our or is a final with them. They have a new coach | and some mighty good players, but there | was no question to the superior team that night. Barium defeated Gastonia 21-0. The following week at Albemarle Ba- rium played her closest game. The Albe- marle team had just defeated Statesville | 31-0. They really counted on taking our game. At one time the score was 7-6 in} Barium’s favor and following that, it looked like Albemarle was going to score again, but the final score was Barium 14, Albemarle 6. Their score was the first made against Barium this season. Both teams played magnificent ball. Barium entertained our old friend Hickory in a game at Barium on No- vember 7th. Hickory has a new squad - big fine-looking boys, but not quite as experienced as is usually the case with that fine school. Hickory also scored on Barium and it’s a wonder they didn’t score more on the splendid pass attack they had. The final score was Barium 38, Hickory 6. We were afraid that in this game the team would be pointing toc much for Lexington the following week and might let Hickory slip up on them, but this was not the case. The week following the Hickory game we entertained Lexington here and there was no question but that Barium reach- ed her peak that day! Lexington was the only team that defeated Barium in 1940, and Lexington was one of the strongest teams that was on our sched- ule this year, but our boys were evi- dently determined to take this one and went into that game in such fine mental and physical shape that the outcome of the game was a foregone conclusion from the start. Our team marched down the field from the initial kick-off to score and the final score was 26-0. After this big game it would have been perfectly natural for Barium to have had a let-down, but they couldn’t afford to let down because Salisbury was the next opponent and that was Home-Coming day. Salisbury had just defeated Greens- boro, one of the strongest teams of the In Case Y O U Failed to Make Your Thanks- giving Offering the Blank Below Is for Your Convenience MY THANKSGIVING OFFERING Ernest Milton, Treasurer, Presbyterian Orphans’ Home, Barium Springs, N.

He was a'so unanimous choice for All-Conference, with Parrish and | Bolton also making the All-Conference. | Now, for the midgets: We get out} three teams, 125, 100, 85-pounds. Quite ten they have to play teams that are not organized according to weights, B- teams, C-teams, etc, and grammar-grade teams, too. One time our 45-pound team amar school team vier than some of those youngsters themselves. The twelve games, one to Victory went up against a er: that had men on it he our varsity players; stil gave a good account of 125-pound team played losing one to Morganton, (Gastonia), one to Piedmont and in each of these games there was evidently quite a difference in weight. However, our boys had had more exper- ience and the games were c!ose and in- teresting to watch. The second Morgsnton game, the Kannapolis game and the Jack- son Training Schog! games were all most interesting. Jack Weeks, a Senior, was one of the best performers on this team and the games he played in were usually on a par with a good many high school games. He did not play in all, however. This is the team that will farnish most of our talent for 1942. The 100-pound team played nine gumes, losing three, tying one. Two of the engagements that they lost were to the Children’s Home and this is the vear when that school has a team which com- pares with the team we had _ several years ago when Miller Blue and Com- pany formed our 100-pound siuad. By the way, most of that 100-peund team played on our varsity this year: Joe Ben Gibbs, Hugh Norman, Don Bolton, Filet- cher, Parrish, Beshears, Davis, Jack and Tom McCall. The Oxford Orphanage game, which ended 6-6, was a very in- teresting game. The game was playe:! i» Greensboro and ended up with a big ‘in ner, furnished by our good friend Preyer. This dinner is just about as im- portant as playing the game. Mil‘oa Gaskill, an old Barium boy who is one of the teachers at Lexington, is getting out a midget team, and we played one game with him. We are looking forward to many other encounters with his team. The 85-pounders managed to win two and tie one, while losing four. They lost to Children’s Home, who were just too strong for them. They lost one to Mor- ganton and one to Salisbury. These were the games in which they were very much outweighed, but made a good game of it nevertheless. We wonder when we will again have such a fine varsity team. Well, if you would watch the 55, 100 and 125-pound- ers play ball, you wouldn’t worry too much. We won't have as good a team next year, but we will enjoy seeing them play just as much. and who knows but in a year or two we will be back with the championship?

The varsity letters were pre- sented by Jim Johnston, who was also a member of that famous national champion team, after- wards playing on Davidson’s team, being mentioned in the 1936 Grant- land Rice All-American. In pre- senting the letters, he likened the precision with which Barium’s team operated to the precision be- ing taught the various Army units in their maneuvers in the Caro- linas and elsewhere. The letters were presented to the following: William Billings, Lacy Beshears, David Burney, Gwyn Fletcher, Joe } (Charlotte), | Pel | Alumni Association Elected (Continued From Page One) Salem, president. The alumni veted to have the 1942 fall home-coming in October instead of November. While no motion was made to the effect, yet the consensus was that the inno-| vation of a summer-time home coming this year should be con- tinued in the future, Joseph B. Johnston, super ; home, offered ¢ dent of the Fellowship on the Catawba to the Aiumni association ntire week if a sufficient number desired to ail themselves of | those facilities for a week’s va- cation. A preliminary total of $155.35 1941 Thanksgiving offering ot association was announced with the statement that more was to follow. Many of the alumni make their Thanksgiving offer- ings through local churches with which they are affiliated, (Note: The Thanksgiving response finally totaled $192.85.) Climaxing the day’s festivities was a 19-0 victory of the Barium Springs football team over Salis- bury High to continue the unde- feated record of the local grid- sters for 1941. Alumni were im- pressed by the preformance of their younger brothers, Alumni were here from State, South Carolina, Virginia and the District of Columbia, First Thanksgiving Report: (Continued From Page One) between the responses of the two years, The principal item of news about the table of receipts jn De- cember is to show a gain in regular giving. This was $2,015.56 ahead of last November’s total at the two-third point of 1940-1941. And, from the way the regular amounts were ar- riving in early December it seems likely that there might be another slight increase for the eurrent month. That will be known later. A comprehensive idea of the final Thanksgiving Offering will be mentioned next month. Of the regular receipts of $25,- 341.63, 46.6% of the total, or $11,- 821.86, had arrived from Sunday Schools; the Church budgets were responsible for $8,533.12, or 33.7%, and the Auxiliaries had sent 19.- 7%, or $4,986.65.

There were many Barium alum- ni present. Some whose names made headlines just a few years age. Their loyalty to Barium and their presence at the celebration are the things that keeps the spark alive in the younger gen eration, which accounts fo; Ba- rium’s winning teams. Tribute was paid to the coaches, cheering sections and the working staff at Barium, as well as to the players themselves. Cooperation on the part of all made the 1941 football season at Barium one long to be remembered. Miscellancous Gifts QUILTS Salisbury 2nd Aux., 1 and 4 waste bas- kets, 3.5 qts. fruits, ete.
