Barium Messenger, 1942
The Barium Messenger Vol. 19 Published by Presbyterian Orphans’ Home For the Information of Its Friends BARTUM SPRINGS. XC. JANUARY, 1942 | Thanksgiving Offering and Regular Contributions Are Both Encouraging January Presbytery Receipts Concord $ 712.84 Winston-Salem 201.51 Kings Mountain 471.18 Mecklenburg 1,023.84 Albemarle 318.91 Granville 245.17 Orange 411.68 Wilmington 299.44 Fayetteville 808.96 SYNOD $4,493.53 Three-fourths of 1941-1942 are over, and on December 31, 1941, the Home at Barium Springs had received $3,542.45 more from the Synod of North Carolina than had heen welcomed here by December 3l, 1940. Of the gain, it is highly significant that $2,879.88 was in the regular category and $662.62 in the Thanksgiving Offering. After all, efforts are always be- ing made to build up the month- hy-month giving and an advance- ment of $2,879.83 in nine months indicates that some progress has been made, What about the Thanksgiving Offering final? It is going to be over $1,000.00 better than jn 1940, based upon estimates of the out- standing offering yet to be dis- patched to Barium. On January Ist it was estimated that at least $5,200.00 was yet to be sent, and by the middle of January almost $2,000.00 of the outstanding re- sponses had been received. If some of the churches yet to send gifts -how substantial increases over ine i440 responses, then the in- crease will be in excess of that which has been conservatively es- timated. On December 31st, the Thanks- giving total in hand was $40,453.53. The final should be at least $46,- 600.00, with the slim possibility that it will edge up to $47,000.00. This is going to be the greatest Thanksgiving Offering for Ba- rium since 1936 - the year in which intensive efforts were successfully made to pay off a $50,000.00 first mortgage and free the Home of. an indebtedness, Three Presbyteries had already exceeded the 1940 final Thanks- giving totals. These were Gran- ville with an increase of $431.73; Concord with a gain of $369.05, and Albemarle with an advance- ment of $126.85. Presbyteries be- hind their ’40 totals at the end of last month were Fayetteville, $2,102.51; Orange, $1,995.35; | Mecklenburg, $827.12; Kings Mountain $650.62; Winston-Sa- lem, $395.04, and Wilmington, $182.20.

Con- cord’s per capita average was over $1.13 per member, with Win- ston-Salem coming next with an average of almost $1.00. Fayette- ville was ninth in the standing with a per member average of 35.9 cents. So much of the latter’s | Thanksgiving Offering had not been received by December 31st that there will be a considerable difference in Fayetteville’s per capita giving at the end of Jan- uary. After next month there should be something of a definite lineup of Presbyteries as to their possible standing at the year’s end, The regular total was $29,835.- 16 for nine months. Sunday Schools had _— sent for $10,049.75, and Auxiliaries had forwarded $6,146.39. On a per- centage basis this was 45.7% from Sunday Schools; 33.7% from bud- gets, and 20.6% from Auxiliaries. Detail on regular receipts by Pres- byteries and organizations within them are as follows: Preshytery Ch. 8s. S.

Efrid, of Albe- marle, Sends $200.00 to Help Furnish Children’s Village The first money for furnishings in the proposed Children’s Vil- lage for boys and girls under ten years of age was received at Ba- rium Springs in January when Mrs. John S. Efird, of Albemarle, sent $200.00 for that purpose. This is simply the beginning of what will probably be a series of contributions that will entirely furnish the new buildings, even as $4,075.00 was voluntarily giv- en by individuals and organiza-) tions in providing all of the furn- ishings of the quadrangle of cot-| tages constructed last summer. | Mrs. Efird had read in The! | Messenger that it was proposed to build a village for the tinier| children of Barium Springs and | she had also seen where individuals | made contributions for 28 living | rooms and four bedrooms in the! high schoo] village completed this | year. It was with pleasure that | this initial gift was welcomed at | Barium for furnishings and other | sums for this purpose will no | doubt be arriving since she has | | started if off with a $200.00 dona- | tion, | Had it not been for the war and} priorities, consideration to inaugu- rating the project next summer could have been given, This has necessarily been postponed be- cause of the need of materials by | j the government and the cost of | 2} materials, even if they could be} | obtained. In the meantime, all such (Continued On Page Two) | tunity to | Work Secretaries and friends of It is a pleasure and, I think, a distinct honor to have this oppor- greet all Orphanage Barium, I wish to extend greetings to) you and to wish you each one a prosperous and happy New Year. | I want to ask for your co-opera- tion and interest in our work for the Orphanage during the coming year, It would be a pleasure to visit | your Auxiliaries, and to know each | one of you personally and I hope I shall have that privilege in the near future, Some one has said that “when the world is at its worst, Chris- tians should be at their best.” This proverb is especially per- tinent to the present day life of the world. We are in the midst of probably the most destructable war of all time. It is imperative that Christians keep vital their sense of God, and} loyalty to Christ and his Gospel. | Let us be at our best and con- | sider it more than merely a re- | sponsibility, but a privilege to} help our Orphanage by keeping it | on our hearts, before our Auxil-| iaries and in our prayers. | A letter to Mr. Milton to find the needs of that large family, which is just like any family, constantly in need of something, or better still, a visit to get first | hand information will give your Auxiliary a new vision, At this time when our attention is so centered on the war, let us| not forget to keep the home fires burning - and faithful to all our, responsibilities and obligations, | especially our boys and girls at| Barium Orphanage who are to be the men and women of tomorrow. With every good wish, I am Sincerely yours, (Mrs. C. I.) Janie J. Loftin, Synodical Secretary of Orphanage Work. Gastonia, N. C. Basketball Tourney Scheduled Next Month February 19-23rd are the dates of the 11th annual Mid-Piedinont | Basketball tournament staged at! | Barium Springs, according to R. G, Calhoun, school principal here and director of the tournament. This is a four-day intensive series | of basketball games participated | in by teams within a radius of 75 | miles of Barium Springs, and the} teams always perform before ca- pacity crowds. Thirty-two teams will orginally start, being equally divided be- tween boys’ and girls’ contingents. Sixteen contests will be run off on the 19th, eight on the 20th, | four on the 21st, and the finals will be on the night of the 23rd. Suitable awards are always made after the finals to the winners, the | runner-up teams, to individuals, to the best-dressed girls’ teams and foul-shooting trophies to the boy and girl winning this. Defending champions will be the girls’ sextette of Catawba high and the boys’ quint of Scotts high. They defeated Claremont and Sherrill’s Ford, respectively, in the finals of 1941, Mr. Calhoun, the director, will later communicate with the (Continued On Page Two) | made of those No. 4 83 Churches Gave Best 'Sums at Thanksgiving Others Expected to Reach New High-Water Marks When Offerings Are Sent Eighty-three churches or mis- sion points in North Carolina Syn- od gave their best Thanksgiving Offering in 17 years when the re- sponses for 1941 were made, ac- cording to the record in the treas- urer’s office at Barium Springs on January 15th. It had been pre- dicted that 100 churches would have this distinction in 1941, and since a good many reports are yet to be received that estimated fig- ure may yet be reached. Nine of the 83 churches filed their initial Thanksgiving reports to the Home, for some are new mission points that had been es- tablished or churches which have been organized within the past year, One church broke a 1925 record; two surpassed 1926 peak sums; four of them went beyond 1927 marks; 2 each of the 1928, 1929 and 1930 peaks were scaled. None of the Thanksgiving records made in 1931 and 1932 were brok- en and only one each jin 1933 and 1934. Four 1985 high-water sums “went by the boards”, seven 1936 peaks are no more; three of the 1937 marks were obliterated; four of the 1938 peak sums are history, 11 of the 1939 heights were hurdled, and 31 of the church- es went beyond the new pinnacles established in 1940, Subsequent issues of The Mes- senger will reveal the names of any other places gaining this un- (Continued On Page Two) First List of 1941-1942 $100.00 Club Members 136 Were In Club at Three Quarter Juncture of Year.— Others Entering This Month Every year special mention is Sunday Schools “making” the $100.00 Club at Ba- rium Springs, this being a club comprised of such organizations giving as much as $100.00 to the Home on a month-by-month basis and does not include the Thanks- giving Offerings. It is designed to inspire some Sunday Schools to gain entrance to the Club each year, and a final tabulation of these after March will show a breakdown as to whether the Sun- day Schools occupy seats in the $100.00 category, the $200.00 class- ification, etc. On December 31st, 36 Schools already merited in the Club, with several others gaining membership in January, These will be added in next month. There were 61 Sunday Schools in the Club in 1940-1941, and in all likelihood the number will be near- er 65 in 1941-1942, according to the appearance of the records at Barium Springs at the three-quar- ter juncture, Here are the 36 already in the Club and the amount that had been received from them at Ba- Springs through December Sunday a place rium 31st: Sunday School Amount TAWONe POOR esc, $619.73 Alpemario Firtt. -..-.004 409.86 Winston-Salem First .... 3846.37 Salisbury First ................ .... 345.57 Greensboro First ... 303.42 (Continued On Page Two) fund.

Sacrificial Donation Is Revealed In Letter Quite frequently letters are re- ceived at Barium Springs indi- cating great sacrifice on the part of the donors, and it is also known that considerable sacrifice is made with which the authorities here are unaware. One such commu- nication arrived in January from the pastor of one of the churches, and rather than attempt to tell the story of a $1.00 gift, his let ter is used because it is more vividly portrayed by him. Here is what he said: “This morning Mrs, ———~— met me on the street and stat- ed that she had one dollar which she desired to give to an orphanage. “Several days ago she was asked to work overtime when she was really not physically able to do so. Mrs. asked the Lord to give her strength to work. The Lord granted her request. She promised Him to give the dol- lar for some Home, * * She asked me to send the dollar for her. “She supports herself and a family of three, all small children.” Alumni News NGAUS eee a co.

The following is the newspaper account of the death of a promi- nent alumnus, who will be remem- bered by those alumni of Barium | Springs who were in the Home more than two decades ago: STAR, Jan. 5.—Funeral services for Miss Bessie Reynolds, mem- ber of the Star school faculty for the last 20 years, will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at the Star Methodist church. She died today in Randolph hospital after undergoing an operation last Tuesday. She was educated at the Pres- byterian home at Barium Springs and Women’s college of the Uni- versity of North Carolina in Greensboro. She began teaching when she was 18 years of age and had been teaching in the vicinity of Star ever since, principally in the primary grades. Surviving are a sister, Mrs. N. A.

The Christmas idea was effec- tively carried out. Large silver bells arranged on cedar and en- circled with Christmas balls and smaller bells formed the central decoration for the tea table. Silver candlesticks holding red tapers were placed on either end of the table. The silver and red decora- tions were beautifully accented by burning red tapers against a back ground of green. Receiving at the door were Misses Elizabeth Robards, Mar- garet Presnell and Gertrude Bry- ant. Miss Mable Shoaf presided at the tea table. Assisting in ser- ving were Misses Lorene Brown, May Shoaf. Mary Parks Allen, Joyce Weeks, Virginia Cranfill, Louise Everette, Flora Mae Smith? Doris Royal, Margaret Jarvis and Jeannette Cobb. Music for the evening was fur- nished by Misses Laura Gray Greene, and Mary Stewart Mc- Googan. The tea was given under the direction of Miss Anne Gaitley, Home Economics Teacher. Approximately fifty guests call- ed during the afternoon. At a reception in Washington a young man was asked by a widow | to guess her age. “You must have some idea,” she said, as he hesi- tated. “I have several ideas,” he ad- mitted, with a smile. “The trouble is that I hesitate whether to make it 10 years younger on account of your looks, or 10 years older on account of your intelligence.” A good-natured traveler asked a Pullman porter the amount of his average tip. The negro replied that the average amount was one dollar. The man handed him a one dollar bill, The porter creased the bill affectionately and said, “Yas- suh, boss, but yo’ is de fust per- son what has come up to de aver- age.” The other day a bull with two horns tossed a man 20 feet, but the record is still held by an auto with one horn. Policeman: “How did you knock this pedestrian down?” Motorist: “I didn’t knock him down. I stopped my car just before reaching him and signaled polite- ly for him to pass. He stared at me sort of incredulously for a | moment or two and then fainted.” | Among the new class, which) came to the second-grade teacher, was a young, timid boy named |so stated in THE BARIUM MESSENGER Friend Shares His Unexpected Income Every now and then unexpec- ted good fortune comes to an in- dividual and in a great many in- stances their thoughts immediate- ly turn to sharing with someone else. Such a happy experience oc- curred at Barium Springs as re- vealed in a letter which was re- ceived here on December 28, 1941. But, let the letter tell its own story: “Included in the annual Thanksgiving Offering from the First Church was an amount of $5.00 represented by the writer’s personal check. “Since making that offer- ing, the writer has received some funds which were not a part of his regular income and as a consequence, he hands you herewith his check in the amount of $45.00. This, then, will almost make up the dif- ference between the Thanks- giving Offering from the First Church for the year 1940 and 1941,” (Editor’s Note: In addition to this special $45.00 sum, another check had arrived from his church, putting it with the group of ehurches that established new peaks in 1941.) There have been some other gifts coming to Barium Springs recently from unexpected sources, and it is the thought here that the same motive has actuated this | sharing, even though it was not any accompanying | letter, | Honor Roll | SECOND TERM First Grade—Hilda Donaldson, Patsy Inman, Montague Cook, Second—Peggy Joyce Land, Bet- ty MeMannen, Louise Campbell, | Eloise Morris.

You would tell him to take the | bigger one, wouldn’t you?” Tommy: “No, mum.” Teacher: “Why?” Tommy: “’Cause necessary.” *twouldn’t be Jack, who, for naughty deeds, had been many times spanked by the first-grade teacher, “Send him to me any time when you want him spanked,” suggested the teacher; | “I can manage him.” One morning about a week after the conversation, Jack ap- peared at the first grade teacher’s door. — dropped her work, seized him by the arm, dragged him to | the dressing room, turned him| over her knee, and spanked him soundly. When she had finished she said: “Well, Jack, what have you to say?” “Please, Miss,” sobbed the boy, “my teacher wants to borrow the scissors.” Puffing and blowing, the young man just managed to get on the platform of the last car as the train left the station. The middle-aged man in the corner eyed him with scorn. “When I was your age, my lad,” he said, “I could run a half a mile, eatch a train by the skin of my teeth, and yet be as fresh as a daisy.” “Yes,” gasped the young fel- low, “but I missed this one at the Mother: “Willie, what happened | | when you and Benny ran into each | other on your bicycles?” Willie: “Well, he was knocked | speechless and my bike was knock- | ed spokeless.” | “How come you don’t like the girls?” “Oh, they’re too biased.” “Biased?” “Yes, Biased. It’s bias this and bias that ’till I’m broke.” Alumni News (Continued From Page Two) ing back for the first time since he and his brother, Dennis, left Barium six years ago to make a eross-continent 3,100-mile, bus trip all alone.

It has been the experience of officials at Barium Springs for a good many years that it pays big dividends to a Sunday School that adopts and follows the offering- per-month plan. Quite frequently corroborations of that belief come in voluntary statements from treasurers whose Sunday Schools have had some happy experiences. Except in the rarest of instances has the experience been different from the following as related in a letter receive! at Barium Springs on December 23, 1941: “Here is something I would like to pass on to you. Before we set apart the third Sun- day for the Orphanage Home it took all of the money we could raise to pay expenses of the Sunday School. But now we have the literature paid for and some money left over in the treasury. We also had Miss Margaret Cook as lead- er in Bible School this sum- mer and paid her $25.00; also expense about $3.00, and then we have some left. It looks like the more we give the more we have to give to you.” | ats | Mrs. Herbert J. Fox, | Mrs. CHRISTMAS THANKS. To the hundreds of organi- zations and individuals who participated in making Christ- mas a happy .:nd delightful season for the Barium chil- dren go the hearty thanks of everyone in the Home. No at- tempt is made to list those helping and the gifts sent, but postal card acknowledg- ments have already been made to all of these, insofar as the information could be obtained from the packages. It was a great season for all the boys and girls. Most of the cottage news reports of, January tell something of their appreciation, but it would take many more words to let the ones playing Santa Claus and those sending gifts fully know the thankfulness existing here, and the happy season that resulted* because of this continued generosity.

It means that this $15,000.00 is in the process of be- ing invested, giving an annual re- iturn which is specifically labeled for college education purposes and which will be kept as a separate income item from the regular en- dowment of the institution. Financing the college education of Barium boys and girls has largely been through a loan fund which has been built up through private contributions and which becomes available to other stu- dents as the borrowers repay these funds. In recent years, however, there have been no substantially jlarge contributions for the loan fund, and the re-payments have not kept abreast of the needs of those desiring to get a college education. The Young People’s Societies of the North Carolina Synod have also assisted in educar ting Barium graduates through a college gift fund that is annually raised, In a letter to Mr. Johnston prior to his conference with Mrs. Ellis she had intimated that this thought was in her mind regarding the gift, desiring that it become a permanent part of the Home in memory of her husband. In defi- nitely deciding to use the fund in this manner, she voiced a hiope that other people would add to it, and that a sufficiently large en- dowment for college education Monroe Trinity Avenue 176.31 | would be built up in the future. pcp eri 176.18' During Mr. Ellis’ lifetime, he Kannapolis First ie and Mrs. Ellis attended services — 46.57 inthe First Presbyterian Church Oliv ia “337.90 | in Greensboro when Mr. Johnston, Alamance 137.42 | the Barium Springs’ superinten- Lincolnton . : (Continued On Page Three) fund. of clothing for a child now.

Gifts are cordi- ally welcomed any day of any month! of any year. Our constant thoughts are with those many boys of Barium Springs who are serving Uncle Sam in the various branches of the service. The Messenger of January announced 54 names al- ready aligned with the forces, but a good many othe » entered during the latte: January and February ay Ts at Poul thanks are being’ ex- pressed to those Presbytery chair- men, to local committee chairmen and to the members of local com- mittees who emphasized the 1941 Thanksgiving Offering for Barium Springs. The results of their ener- gies are being reflected in the Thanksgiving sums that have been arriving. Congratulations to those 88 churches giving their best Thanks- giving Offering in 17 years. Also, thanks a million for the stimuia- ting effect they have had on every- body at Barium Springs. There will probably be a few others go- ing “over the top” before the books are closed on March 31st. if so, those churches can now con- sider that felicitations have been offered to them, too, Inroads will be made during the coming months into the number of people favoring us with visits, be- | cause of the tire shortage. We'll miss seeing you at Barium Springs, but we certainly will understand why you aren’t coming to see us. Something over 2,000 visitors were coming annually, but this will be considerably curtailed dur- ing the durati of the conflict. These frequent treks will be re- sumed later. ion It won't be long before the cele- vbration of our 50th birthday will be history, for the period of 1941- 1942 is devoted to this important | milestone in the history of the| Home. Already there have been | many imposing events to trans- pire to in encouragement and gratification, and it is hoped that other things will happen be- tween now and March 31st to make 1941-1942 one of the greatest i not the greatest - in 50 years. result Do you remember the facts on the folder that was used in the Thanksgiving son? To refresh your memory, 2,034 children re- ceived the nurture and care of the Home d he first 50 years of luring t gt its existence, these children rep- resenting a total of over 12,000 vears of care. You ought to be mighty proud that Barium Springs has been a haven for so many children for so many years and that your gifts have helped make this possible, We’re joining a host of others in expressing gladness that Thanksgiving Day of the future will always be on the last Thurs- day in November. We were af- fected by the moving up only one year - that of last Thanksgiving. | We believe that if Tharksgiving | Day of 1941 had been on the final Thursday that the annuai Thanks- giving Offering for our Home nder the laws of the state of North Carolina the | Presiden’ Vice-Presiden.

RUMPLE HALL Dear Readers, It seems only a short time since we wrote you, but it really has been several months. We have quite a few girls in the seventh grade going out for basketball. They surely can play along with the girls from the Wo- man’s Building.

With the way prices have sky-rocketed, all of the in-' crease possible is going to be ex-| tremely useful to the Home. We had the annual health check- up in January - every child com- ing under the scrutiny of our doctor. Elsewhere in the paper you | will find some of the results of | this health clinic. No deaths in the family during the calendar year of 1941! That has become a trite statement for a good many years, | for there hasn’t been a death among this family of children since June of 1933, Furthermore, | there hasn’t been but one death in the family since July of 1926. Again, we offer thanks to the! Heavenly Father for His watch- ful care over our children. We are mighty proud that $17,- 000.00 has been contributed toward | another building project at Ba- rium Springs - $10,000.00 from one | individual and $7,000.00 from an- other. We aren’t forgetting those individuals responsible for four gifts that aggregated $36,000.00 | and thle Synodical for approxi- mately $12.000.00 for five build- ings that were constructed at Ba- rium this past spring and sum-| mer. Also, we are remembering | that $4,075.00 was contributed for | furnishings in the quadrangle | without solicitation from Barium Springs, $500.00 for shrubbery and beautification, and that a $290.00 for village sum has already arrived for the children’s £ nN } Po > iurnisnmgs One of these days we hope that all windows in Little Joe’s Church will be stained glass, Friends have heen responsibe for three windows already in place and two sums of $100.00 each have been contributed | for two of the four side windows. | Two more $100.00 contributions | and two $400.00 gifts would enable ; us to place an order for all of the windows in the main body of the church, The only two which would | not be stained glass would be those | in each lobby.

The peopk | Were very pleasant, making it ar occasion that we skall remember for a long time. Last week, February 5, Yates from the Statesville City Schools visited us. She was the special guest of The Virginia Hali Circle, but all of us were invited. She spoke to us on missions, es- pecially about her own field and home, China. She was a most de- lightful and inspiring speaker and we are deeply in her debt for at | interesting as well as helnful eve- ning. The children of the public schools in Statesville are most fortunate to have her as _ Bibl teacher. As we look forward to the next | few weeks our schedule seems gc | full that we wonder how we will |ever find time to do everything ' We know, however, that each task and each pleasure will fall into its place when the time comes.

Thanksgiving Offerings naturally played a big part in the averages credited to those two in January, for Kings Mountain sent $932.05 of Thanksgiving Offering and $1,- 796.74 of Thanksgiving response came from Fayetteville Presby- tery. It was another good month of receipts for Barium Springs, the January excess over that of Janu- ary, 1941, being $1,750.98 - $846.30 more of regular receipts and $904.68 in the Thanksgiving Of- fering. The grand total welcomed from Synod in January was §$8,- 227.97 - $4,540.12 of regular gifts and $3,687.85 of Thanksgiv- ing Offering. For the 10 months that hliave gone by the regular month-by- month contributions have shown a gain of $3,726.13, and the Thanksgiving Offering $1,567.30, these two making a combined ad- vance of $5,293.43. However, this Thanksgiving Of- fering gain does not mean that the final aggregate of the special response will be that much great- er than in 1940.

The girls in all three home eco- nomics classes have been busy since Christmas working on dress- es for the Cotton Dress Contest which is to be held in Statesville February 17. Some very attrac- tive dresses are being made. Last year one of our girls, Margaret Presnell, won in the Statesville contest, in the state contest and was sent to Washington, D. C., to compete in the national contest. She received honorable mention in Washington and all of the Barium Springs people were very proud of her. While it seems too much to hope for this honor to come to | us for a second time, we are look- | ing torward to the contest. Alumni News ENGAGEMENTS. Stone-Summers.

March 30 so that the contributions can reach the Orphanage on March 3lst, the date when the 1941-1942 fiscal year ends. It may be impossible for some few checks:: te reach the institution by ‘the 31st. so the receipt books will be open a few days to receive these.

After each of these my husband remarked con- cerning the fine constructive work you were doing with underprivi- leged children. The last time we heard you he said, ‘That. institu- tion is turning out fine worthwhile citizens.’ “Remembering that, and realiz ing that when we have won this | war, the biggest job is stil! ahead of us, I felt that an investment in citizenship was as much a patriotic duty as helping to provide - war materials. “T also felt that no more satis fying memorial to my husband, who was always so interested in helping anyone in need, and par ticularly children, could be. estab lished. When vou come I will. be interested to talk with you. My only desire regarding the way the | fund is used is that all or part of it mav become a permanent part f your institution as a memorial to my husband, I had thought of i loan fund for further education when Soys and girls are ready to leave Barium.” Cottage News (Continued From Page Two) Bernardo of Charlotte, for the cookies she brought us today Tomorrow we will have a new Nttle girl, Shirley Hall, come -to live with us.

Before leaving last Sunday night, he took a healthy sock at Jim Johnston, because he said that that was the last chance he would have to hit an officer for the duration of the War! “We had a visit from Howard Beshears. He is on an Airplane Carrier. He couldn’t even tell us what ocean he was on, but he had evidently been having some lively times. John Donaldson alse came in for a brief visit. He is part of a bomber crew, and was popping off with news he couldn’t tell. A letter from Julius Kinard, who has completed his training, re- ceived his wings and is now an in- structor at Kelly Field, Texas.

The graduating class is taking 41 students from Barium this year. We are going to list in order the ones leaving from this cottage. They are as follows: David Burney and Grover Ingram. Well, after all, most of them; that is, the boys, stay in one dormitory. One of our boys spent the week- end at Davidson with Arthur Roach. He had a fine time, in- cluding the chicken dinner. Most people visiting at Davidson be- come familiar with the one street and the college campus, If you would take time to look around, you will find some very interesting places away from the business section of town. (What about that, Hilda?) Our congratulations go to “Ad- miral” Paul Burney for being elected as the captain of our bas- betball team for next year. Paul is going to miss this year’s team and half of the second team.

Boys Win Basketbal! Title for Third Time Are Champions of South Pied- | mont Conference. — Ba- rium Girls Were Second | CONCORD, March 15.—T he} |orphanage took a double knock | ‘out from the high schools in |the past basketball season fo: | the 12-school South Piedmont con- ‘ference as Barium Springs eked | 'out a boys’ championship and the} Children’s Home of Winston-Sa-| lem went through unbeaten for! their 1942 title. Postponed games, | | due to snow, caused a delay in the | | final championship settlement. They were the champions, and | |they proved themselves the real | champions against outstanding! competition which meant that a | | single lost game might cost a |championship. The closest race 'was in the boys’ division, where | Barium Springs took the title in | the very last game, a victory over | ' Thomasville. | One week before the season end- ed, Coach Quack Saunders’ wonderful Little Wonders were holding the South Piedmont boys’ lead on percentage points. They | had lost games to Barium Springs | and Children’s Home, but they} had won something like 11 games. | |In the second place was Barium | Springs, with losses only to Kan- napolis and Albemarle, but with | only nine victories, | It meant Kannapolis had only to Win its three remaining games against foes far down the ladder to sew up the title. But in their first payoff game Thomasville’s , scrappers beat the Wonders and/| then, after getting a 45-43 win| over Lexington, the Wonders drop- ped the finale to Statesville. Those losses cost Kannapolis the title, for Barium Springs covered its remaining games with the victory march, and they took the championship over Kannapolis and Albemarle. Leading the champs were Norman at forward and Fletcher at center, these two boys getting 34 points between them in the final game. The girls’ picture was far more clear-cut, since the team that al- so won the 1942 North Carolina orphanage title swept through the eonference unbeaten. They, too, could have lost a game and still won, but they were never allowed a chance to let up with a surpris- ing Spencer team close behind. Kannapolis, too, was a leader the early part of the season, but (Continued On Page Four) Celeste Henkle, and Troutman. These last six teams won two and lost one game in the three-day tournament. A team had to lose twice before it was completely out of the running for one of the awards. Orphanage Tournament. Barium’s varsity teams entered the annual Orphanage Tournament staged at Children’s Home, Lex- ington, but were defeated in the finals. The Barium girls won over Mills Home, 25 to 20, but lost to Children’s Home of Winston-Sa- lem, 22 to 30. The Barium boys easily took the measure of the Mills Home boys, 34 to 16, in their first game, but were closely sub- dued by Children’s Home of Lex- ington, 35 to 32, on the final night. ! Banquet Given Teams of the Winter Sports Boys Champions Give Trophy to Their “Championship Coach,” R. G. Calhoun __Barium Springs’ 1942 champion- ship boys’ basketball team of the South Piedmont conference, the two champions of the Junior Mid- Piedmont basketball tournament, the varsity girls’ basketball outfit that ranked second in the South Piedmont conference, and_ the wrestlers who tied for second in the 1942 state high school meet were all honored here on Friday night, March! 20th, at the annual banquet that is given for aggre- gations participating in the winter sports. The delightful affair was ap- propriately and effectively pre- sided over by W. A, Hethcox, mem- ber of the high school faculty, who inaugrated his career as a teestmaster at Barium Springs in a style that kept the guests in ai uproar and assured him of other spots at future affairs of this nature, Donnie Bolton was announced as captain of the 1943 wrestling team; Paul Burney was revealed as captwin-elect of next year’s quintet, with Joe Long as alter- nate; and Lorene Brown was pre- sented as the girl whom her team- mates had selected as 1942 eap- tain at the close of the season, since the coach| appointed an act- ing captain for each game, Most valuable player on _ the girls’ sextette the past season was Mrytle Mills and Captain Hugh Norman was the most valuable on the boys’ contingent. These choices were made by the players them- selves and the names of _ these two will be inscribed on perma- nent trophies kept in the dining hall of Rumple Hall here. A surprise of the evening was the presenting of a trophy to R. G. Calhoun, coach of the Barium boys’ basketball aggregations. This was done by the members of the 1942 team who had inscribed on the trophy “To the champion coach.” For three years in suc- cession the boys have won the title of the South Piedmont con- ference. Players have changed, since Norman was the only mem- ber of the 1940 champions who | played this year, but the coach has remained the same, Prelimi- nary to unveiling the trophy, Mr. Johnston had said that coaches contended that Bariumu Springs |had a rabbit foot, and he des- cribed Mr. Calhoun as that par- ticular omen of good luck through the coaching that he gives the boys. In summing up the entire sea- son of activity in the realm of winter sports. Mr. Johnston called to the attention of those present the fact that three boys were state champions in wrestling in their respective weights. These were Ed Blake in the 98-pound group; Lacy Beshears in the 155- pound class; and Billy Lindsey in the 175-pound weight. Milton Gaskill, former Barium wrestler and now teaching and coaching at Lexington high, awarded the wrestling letters; H. B. Tucker, member of the Lex- ington school faculty and referee of many dual and_ tournament games, awarded certificates to girls in the seventh and eighth grade, Glenn Stewart, of East Mombo, gave out the certificates to the 125-pound boys’ team; Miss Rebekah Carpenter, case worker, presented letters to the girls’ bas- keteers, and Mr. Johnston gave the varsity) boys’ their letters. The following were the awards: Varsity wrestling—Ed_ Blake, Bennett Baldwin, John Hawley, William Billings, Mott Price, El- wood Carter, Billy McCall, Ben Lewis, Lacy Beshears, Dixon Par- rish, and Billy Lindsey. Varsity Boys’ basketball—Hugh Norman, Gwyn Fletcher, George Lewis, Joe Ben Gibbs, Ed William- son, Jack Weeks,and Paul Horne. Varsity girls’ basketball—Lo- rene Brown, Elizabeth Robards, Ruth Cole, Mable Shoaf, May Shoaf, Myrtle Mills, Marjorie Lail, Gertrude Bryant, and Margaret Presnell, 7th and 8th Grade girls—Adelia Knight, Dewey Belle Buie, Marion Coffey, Toni Delancey, Jewell Dunn, Leona Hall, Ida Bell Dunn, Lee Vinson, Pat Hooten, and Lil- lian Cranfill. 125-pound boys’ basketball—Ray Lewis, Stanley Smith, Bobby Whit- tle, Richard Shoaf, Pleas Norman, Fred Cole, John Ammons, Billy Everett, and Earl Adams, Aiumni News (Continued From Page Two) ped in last week, H s looking better than he ever did in his life He still or f the cooks for the Airy Corps at Gunter Field, Ala bama.

A. V. Gibson, of Sanford, Delivered Commencement Ad- dress on “Business of Living.” Ace Meda! To Paul Horne Grover Ingram Was Valedic- torian and Jack McCall, Salutatorian Forty-one graduates, who repre- sented the largest class in the 50- year history of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home and which also represented a total of 408 years of child care, on Monday night April 20th were awared diplomas at the finals of the 1942 gradua- tion exercises, The presentation of these followed a stirring commen- cement address on “The Business of Living” delivered by Rev. A. V. Gibson, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Sanford and after other specific awards to outstanding students of the past school session. The final program was opened with the salutatory address de- livered by Jack McCall, second honor student for the four high school years, and it was closed with the valedictory address by Grover Ingram, who had the high- est scholastic average of all 41. Paul Horne, who has been in the Home here for 16 years, which is the longest span of time for any graduate, was resented the ace medal. He was the choice of the workers and the high school students, all of whom voted for the boy or girl who, in their opinion, had been the most con- sistent throughout the entire stay at Barium Springs. The music improvement medal was presented to Elizabeth Rob- ards, and the Brown Bible medal for proficiency in Bible study and other specific memory work went to Marjorie Lail. awarded to Billy Everett, Cole, Ben Lewis, Jack McCall, Grover Ingram and Mott Price. Grammar school scholarship prizes | were given Maggie Katen, Horace | Denton, Kathleen Monroe, Betty | Jo Smith, Lucille Smith and Jerry | Young. The four girls and four boys showing the greatest improvement during the school term were giv- en special prizes of $2.50 each by Fred W. Sherrill, of Statesville. | They went to Janie Smith, Mary Alice Stevens, Dewey Belle Buie, | Lillie Bryant, Gene Dunn, Herman Blue, Douglas Ryder and Ernest Stricklin. Each graduate was pre-| sented a Bible with his or her | name inscribed on it in gold letters, | A packed auditorium listened at-| ' tentively as the Sanford Presby-! terian minister talked about the “Business of Living’. He prefaced his remarks by saying that living was such a regular sort of occupa- tion, day in and day out, year in in and year out, and that each day’s living greatly depended upon how the day before was spent. Mr. Gibson said that each person could “run away from it, run with it, take life and run it, or yield that life to One who is greater than all humanity.” ; He elaborated by saying that the person who ran away from life was cne who lived within himself, but nobody has much luck trying to get away from themselves. The one who runs with life is following the easy path, taking the line of least resistence. The one who takes life and runs it gets something out of it, but the individual who fol- lows the best way of yielding, lives the richer and fuller life. All of this was preliminary to the offering of some suggestions as to how one can walk from day to day and not faint. As his first (Continued On Page Two) BARIUM SPRINGS, N.

Alexander, of Lum- berton, Spoke on “I Have a Glory” At Morning Service. Large Audiences Rev. Cliff McLeod, of Mooresville, Spoke on “Foundation of the Good Lif.” “I Have a Glory” and “The Foundation of the Good Life” were subjects of two sermons de- livered at Barium Springs on Sun- day, April 19th as part of the 1942 graduation exercises. The firslt was used by Rey. R. L. Alexander, of Lumberton, in delivering the baccalaureate address and the second was the subject of Rev. Cliff H. McLeod as he spoke to the as- sembled young people’s societies. “There is glory in what you have done, and there is glory in the days ahead,” said the Lumber- ton minister. “The world and Ba- rium Springs say to all of you graduates thiat the glory of going on ought to be the sunrise of a new day. The world is not finished; it is just begun. The world needs great people of every kind— people who are not only great but who are also good; who are not only proficient, but who are also | profoundly Christian.” Rev. Mr. Alexander asserted that it had been said that the young people were without objec- tives, “all dressed up and no place to go, no cause to which you are consecrated and nothing for which to die.” He said that this was all changed now, and that the flame of conviction and consecration had been kindled.

It has been a long time since we have written you, for we have failed to do so the last two months We are certainly glad that spring is here and that schol is almost out so we can play out- doors longer. Since we have written you, we have had a little new boy come live with us. His name is Robert Fry. We surely hope he likes his new home. We hardly believe that school is almost out, but most of us will be glad to see vacation time come. We can hardly wait to go in swimming. Commencement is almost here and Ed Traywick, Clyde Dellinger and Everett Vest, our school boys, are going to be in it. ‘Our smallest boy, Boyce Dean Smith, is down at the Infirmary with the sore throat. We hope he is well by Easter, for we are all looking for the “Easter Bunny” to give us a treat, : Johnny Collins and Clyde Dellin- ger had a visit from their mother and father, respectively, Remem- ber, you are always welcome (aft- er 3:30 P. M. for that is our rest period). : The peach blossoms are a thing of beauty and a joy forever. The peaches will be more than a joy. Billy Burke wanted to April fool somebody but he was a day late so he fooled them and then said instead “April, the 2nd.” The bus to the little boys is still the “bloodhound bus”. We liked “Dumbo” real well. We like to go to the barn and see the horses, especially the run away horse, Mrs. Massey was our Kinder- garden teacher while Miss Hardin was away. Come again soon Mrs. Massey. ; We have some very pretty pic- tures and want to thank our un- known friend, ’ ; We thank Mr. Irvin for the candy treat.

School js al- most out, and we are thinking about new dresses for commence- ment exercises, costumes for our operetta, and the like. We can hardly wait until school is out, So We can get off our shoes and get on our playsuits. We had a very nice and eventful Easter. On Saturday, we had an egg hunt. On Easter Morning, at the regular church service fifteen of our girls were baptized. During the week preceding Easter, so many of our friend sent us lovely Easter baskets, Easter bunnies, and cakes, We really do thank you every one for your graciousness and your thoughtfulness, There were two girls who re- ceived show tickets last month: Elsie Marie Vest and Betty Lou ' cages, were Linda Inman, Shirley Williams. Last week we all saw Sabu in “The Jungle Book”. It was‘ terri- fying, but very good. We enjoyed it very much, thanks to Mr. John- ston. Our cottage, along with the Howard girls, is very proud to say that we helped to pay the balance of the money for Mrs. Zenn’s sup- port. We have been very busy study- ing for our examinations and practicing for our schoo] closing exercises. So long and thanks for listen- ing! —Annie Louise Girls INFIRMARY Here we are again to bring you the news of the Infirmary. School is just around the cor- ner to close and everyone is glad. Then we can start going to camp and going in swimming, both of which everyone enjoys very much, Since we last wrote we had the following new children to come and live with us: Bradley Jean, Kenneth and Billy Manus. We hope they are making this as their home and enjoying the sport we all enjoy. We have had only a few sick and they were not very serious. Ida Belle Dunn has returned from the hospital from an appendix operation, from which she is re- covering very nicely. She will soon be ready to return to her cottage, Tuesday night the Virginia Hall Cirele girls went to the skating rink. Miss Carpenter, head of the Circle, went with us and we all had a good time. Miss Andrews took some boys and girls to the skating rink. Martha Price from here went and had a grand time. The seniors will soon be leaving and we will miss them a lot, but we are hoping they will all be coming back to see us in the fu- ture We were very glad to have Mrs. Barrett, Mae Allen’s mother, here for a day or two last week. We are always glad to have visitors, so hurry back. The news has run out, but be looking for us next month for we will be on the air again withi the high light news of the Infirmary. —Beulah Baldwin Friends at Bariun and throughout ; greatly sympathiz Jos, Johnson, dent of the Home death of his siste) sie Davidson Sain, o! ton, on April 10th. Springs Synod ith Mr. superinten- in the Bes- Mrs. Lincoln- 41 Children Award: Diplomas (Continued From Page One) thought, the speake: urged the graduates to accept life and the world as it is. “You cx» get a much better life dreaming yut it,” he said, “but there are yo ponsibilities upon us that we mus: face. The reason for the pres agony of the world is that we believe too much in dreaming ani not in bring- ing it to pass. Wishful thinking will not change it, We won't be bet- ter people, more loyal, more faith- ful and more sincere until we de- termine in our hearts and then only will we press on to a better life and better things.” The second suggestion was that “we shall accept ours: ves”. He as- serted that a good many people are not willing to admit their faults, but he was certain that “great people recognize that they have limitations. When you acknowledge these only then can you live better and begin constructively. Each one has individual gifts and we are thankful that we have a diversity of these.” “We must accept other people” was a third point, “The trouble is that we want other people to be like we want them to be. You can’t make people and the world over in a moment. Try to cure by love and a ministry of the Spirit. Admire people for what they are and can do, and don’t censu: them :or what they can’t do. A vreat asset is to understand, appreciate and love people even though they do have faults.” As a final suggestion, Mr. Gib- son told the seniors that ‘‘you’ve got to have a faith to live by. You must have a self that is fit to live with, a task that is fit to live “or. and with that faith io live by. you then have your God, your self and your work. The worl needs you.” he said in closing, “to love it back into submission. cee ae See Civis Clubs Attend Annual (Continued From Page One) with all of their finery and cor- ‘Johnson, Sylvia Buie, Jackie Por- terfield, Mary Frances Marris and Lois Dellinger, Clifford Barefoot, dressed as 2 blackfaced man, came to the deck to render a harmonica solo.

It won’t be long before school is out. We had a very nice Easter. We hope each of you did. Miss Bur- gess and Miss Hardin took us and the Annie Louise girls on an egg hunt. Boy, we sure did enjoy it.

Two Excellent Sermons (Continued From Page One) have learned here. The evil one is ambidextrous and snoops up on us unawares, often times like a dive- bomber, but there is always the sanctuary of the soul - the still small voice within, You go out in- to the world under the auspices of Christ, and there is glory in going on if you will go with Him and His spirit. “The world is a prison house of sin, war and destruction” said Mr. Alexander but he maintained that it could be set free. There was only one way, though, and this was advanced as “the old, old story of the Savior’s love - the} sweetest story ever told. The | Savior will lead us to righteousness | and peace, finding boys and girls who live a life of glory.” Sermon to Young People In the night sermon, Mr. Mc- Leod cited four things as the foundation of a good life. “Re- membrance of our personal rela- tionship to God, remembrance of | a stewardship of life, remem- brance of His blessings and His | providence to us, and storing in} your hearts and _ lives those! things which will help you” were | the four essentials. The Mooresville pastor began | his sermon by stating that he! knew that there were various! voices calling and mentioned naz-| ism, communism, the agnostics) and atheists, all of which say| “follow us, for we are the true) voices of life. These philosophies of the world know that their strength must come from the youth cf the land, else their cause is lost. Such voices will all lead to destruc- tion and despair if you follow them. What shall we do? What shall we cling to?” He then proceded to elaborate upon his four remembrances, but | summed up the whole situation first by saying that all that the world needed was redemption. He felt that the foundations he was going to suggest would stand sure in all thing about the in- dividuals. “Remember.” he said, “that we are God’s by creation, and also you have been bought with a price, Secondly, our stewardship of life represents an obligation to God and to your fellowmen and you should freely give of your time and your talents. You do not have to wait until you grow old to do this” and he then mentioned the various young men who had accomplished so much so early in life, ending up with Christ, As a third thing, he urged his hearers to remember God’s provi- dence and blessings and His di- recting power.” Your individual problems are just as trying as the world problems, and it is then that you will need Christ.” Fin- ally, he told them that they should continue storing up things for the future; that some of the things they have been storing up may have seemed useless, but “later you will know that you have a sure foundation.” He closed with a warning not to come up to their old age with bitterness in their hearts, nor re- gret over the life they have lived. He cautioned them to do those things which time and memory cannot erase. Build up a faith, he said, that will stand you through the years. ~ Miscellaneous Gifts Bethany (C) Aux., 5 towels, 8 wash cloths, 3 sheets. Antioch (F) Aux., Circle 3, 7 towels, 7 wash cloths.

No. $ Memorial Church Planned For Future Regents Authorized That Memorial Gifts Be Used for Building This Action Was Retroactive to Include $7,263.36 Sent As Memorials in Past 10 Years TO PURCHASE BONDS As Money Accumulates It Will Be Invested in War Bonds Elsewhere in The Messenger, in an account of the meeting of the Boaed of Regents at Barium Springs in May, is a paragraph regarding the action of the gov- erning board in setting aside me- morial gifts of ten years and fu- ture such contributions in a special fund that one day will be utilized in building a church at Barium Springs. This action is so far-reaching and of such wide interest that it was felt advisable that an elabora- tion upon this action by the Board should be given to those hundreds of friends, organizations and business firms who have par- ticipated in a memorial total of $7,263.36 in the past 10 years. Good News Fairview Sunday —_ School, which is in Concord Presbytery and near Lenoir, has joined al- most 300 Sunday Schools in the North Carolina Synod in a sys- tematic plan of helping in the support of the children at Ba- rium Springs. This Sunday School inaugurated the plan of sending the fifth Sunday re- sponses and the first one ar- rived after March 30th. Wel- come to that ever-increasing group that does something reg- ularly, The Hamlet Presbyterian Church has put the Home in its budget for 1942-1943 for $120.- 00, and the April check for $10.- 00 has already arrived. This is $68.30 more than came regu- uarly in 1941-1942 from _ the church budget, a class in the Sunday School and the Auxi- liary combined. Officials are en- couraged by this action. What good news will be available for June’s copy of The Messenger? Alumni News At the meeting of the Regents last October a special committee was appointed to bring in a rec- ommendation to the Board when it assembled in May, for the plan of honoring friends and loved ones had grown with such rapidity in recent years that it was the thought thiat a: definite project for such donations would be of great comfort to the donors and to the survivors of those honored, Accordingly, the following rec- ommendation was presented to the Board this month and was} adopted: “The special committee on me- morials recommends that: “First. The Board of Regents authorize the setting aside of me- morial gifts which have been re-; ceived at Barium Springs during the past ten years - a total sum of $7,263.36 - this fund to become part of a fund to buiid a memorial building. “Second, That all future memo- rial gifts “not otherwise designa- ted be placed in this memorial fund. “Third. That this memorial building be a church at Barium Springs. “Fourth. That a Book of Memory be placed in the building includ- ing all names of donors and those memorialized.” This action by the Regents af- (Continued On Page Three) MARRIAGES. Burney—Edwards.

Gratifying and encouraging re- ports on the semi-centennial cel- ebration of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs were heard here on May 12th by the Board of Regents, in semi- annual session, from Jos. B. John- ston, superintendent of the Home, 2nd Ernest Milton, treasurer. Mrs. George Norfleet, of Winston- Salem, as vice-president, presid- ed over the sessions in the ab- sence of Dr. J. R. McGregor, president. In addition to receiving a review of the past year’s achievements from the two administration of- ficers, the Board set aside me- morial contributions of the past ten years to be used in building a memorial church when the fund accumulates and when building conditions warrant it. This in- volves the setting aside of $7,263.- 36 for that period, with future memorial funds to be aaded, Gov- erment war bonds will be purchased with the current nucleus, and other bonds will be bought as the me- morial fund accumulates each month, Among the outstanding events of the past year cited by Mr. Johnston was the attendance of Synod here last September which set a new all-time neak in registra- tion for that body; the serving of over 7,000 guests at the Home dur- ing the past 12 months; the end- ing of another year without a death in the Orphanage family to maintain a record of no deaths | presented their services to Uncle| since 1933 and only one since July Sam in winning the war.

In addition to these things, a | quadrangle of cottages were built | and furnished for close to $54,- 000, and a printing office built for $6,000. Special contributions of $17,300 were made toward a pro- posed children’s village and a $15,- | 000 scholarship fund given during the semi-centennial period. The treasurer’s report showed that the contributions from the North Carolina was the best since 1927-1928; that $48,447.28 was received in niné legacies and that the net worth of the home increased $111,810.91 in the past twelve months. This involved increases in the endow- ment, capital and operating funds. The Board adopted a suggestion by Mr. Johnston that specific phases of the life at Barium Springs be presented at the next eight board meetings, so that the first fiddle in the thought of the| timate acquaintanceship with the children and the public, the Home| boys and girls having a part in the must suffer and attitudes change| play.

We sure do miss her a lot. Three of our girls are at the infirmary with measles and we hope that they will soon be up so they can have a good time , like We are. It will not be long before camp and we will be glad. We hope va- cations will start soon. Most of the girls have to look forward to a vacation, but the ones that don't get a vacation get a camp. Some of the girls have had visits from their people or some friends. GwendoyIn Landrum and Annie Star Langley had a_ visit from their mothers. Ernestine Baldwin had a visit from her sister.

The Baby Cottage girls are again bringing you the news of days. It has finally got hot enough for us to take off our shoes and the sand surely feels good to our feet. We started going to Bible School Monday, and we have an- other week after this one. We like to go. Last Tuesday afternoon we went to the show to see “Look Who’s Laughing”. We enjoyed it very) much. Thank you, Daddy Johnston, |. n | hin on Mother’s Day. He was very for taking us. Five of us got perfect attend- ance certificates during the past year, They are Jackie Porterfield, Peggy Ann Collins, Sylvia Sue Buie, Janie Smith and _ Lillie Bryant.

We haven’t had many this month, but those among who have had visits from their people: are Louise and Barbara Bradshaw, Lois Dellinger, Lillie Bryant, and Janie Smith. Come again, all of you. We would like to have more people visit us. “Mama” O’Kelly is taking part of her vacation this next week. She is going to Georgia to see her father. We hate to see her go} | but we will be glad to have “Aunt Frances” to take her place while she is away. Have a good time, Mama,,.and hurry back. Our two big sisters, Lillie Bryant and Janie Smith, got some money at commencement for making the most improvement dur- | ing the past year. Good work, girls, and keep it up. For the last month in schoo] we had three girls to make the honor roll, They were Sylvia Sue Buie, Jackie Porterfield, and Janie Smith. It will not be long now before we will be going in swimming, because they are going to open the swimming pool next Monday. If it gets hot enough we will be going in. Come on out, Mr, Sun, do your work. —The Baby Girls. JOHNSTON COTTAGE We all seem to be _ bachelors since graduation took a bunch of our blossoms from the Woman’s Building and from the quadrangle, but I guess we will struggle along as we have in the past. Woot Davis and Pleas Norman will challenge any other two boys that think they know how to play tennis here and abroad, so if you have not lost a game this year here is a good chance to win an- othef.

Twenty-one of our girls graduated nd found work or places shortly after commencement, This was the largest class that we have ever had. We were awfully proud of them and were glad that they had finished their work in school but hated to have them leave us. Immediately after _commence- ment we had the members of the TriiState Orphanage Conference as our guests. We enjoyed them so much, It is always a pleasure for us to meet so many people and make friends with them. We were afrai! that there would be quite a let-down after such a big commiencement but we have been too busy to be lonely for long. The Daily Vacation Bible School is just closing as we write the news. A number of our girls have been helping Miss Lucille Thompson, Miss Jean Murphy and Miss Wilhelm. The helpers are Marie Morgan, May Lynn Jones, Lillie Bryant, Janie Smith, Mary Alice Stevens, Edna Maples and Dixie Buie. The school has been very helpful to all who had a part in it, We haye already begun to plan for the camps to be held in July and August. This year there will be six camps instead of five. All vacations will be planned to make it possible for everyone to be back before the camp opens on July 13th. We are looking forward to this treat with much anticipation. STULTZ This news is same cottage | same boys, Thi COTTAGE coming from the it not from the was the senior’s cottage, and when they left, eight boys moved in here. They were Bobby Whittle, Paul Burney, Ben- nett Baldwin, James Shepherd, Bill Tyce, Paul Reid, Richard Shoaf, Marshall Norris. Donnie Boiton, «and Joe Long. We like it fine. Our swimming pool has opened and we expect to have a good time getting cooled gif in it after work- ing hours. We are also looking firward to swimming in the river at camp later. Bill Tyce’s mother came to visit glad to see her. We are always glad to have visitors and they are welcome at any time. We have a new truck now and we are very proud of it. It is so ne it does not have a bed on it and some of our boys who work on the carpenter’s group will have to help build one. One of our boys. Richard Shoaf, has just come back from the hos- pital where he had an operation fo. appendicitis. He has recovered quickly and is back with us now. —Paul Reid. THE DAIRY NEWS The dairy is the same as it used to be only it’s not the same boys. But they are just as good, We lost seven boys from the dairy this summer but I guess we Can go on without them since we have so many boys coming on the dairy from Lee’s cottage. We have been putting away hay in the barns for about a week. We already have one barn full and we are putting hay in the other one now and should have it full in about a week. Some of the boys are cleaning out the branch where the cows drink so that it will not get stopped up. We have a few new cows and we are getting plenty of milk. John Denton is one of our best workers, and a lot of the other boys that just came from Lee’s cottage. Eugene Dunn, one of our best milkers, went on the carpenter’s group, and the rest of our big boys went on the farm, and are learn- ing how to drive a horse. Well, we still have a mighty good groun on the dairy this year, so I guess we won’t miss them much. Well. so long, until next time when we will bring you more “Dairy News.” CANNON COTTAGE Hello Folks, We had some new boys to come over to our cottage. They are Robert Lee Pearson, Herman Blue, Scott Blue, Junior May, Bennie Gregory, Clifford Barefoot, William Allen, Horace Denton, Gene Dunn, Earl Allen, Mac Rogers, John Lee, Roscoe Smith. Also, we have the college boys staying at our building. They are George Lewis, Gwyn Fletcher, Tom McCall and Jack McCall. We are mighty proud to have so many boys going to college this year and we wish them the best of luck. Our swimming pool has _ just opened and we are looking for- ward to a good time in it this summer. Vacations are about here. Many of us will not get vacations be- cause of the war, but we will get to go to camp. We are all feeling fine. We are glad the government let us buy a new truck. There will be some more boys to come over here at the end of the summer. Until next month, goodbye. —Earl Allen RUMPLE HALL. Here we are again writing to you to let you know the news for the month. Our school is out, and we sure are having a gtand time playing horseshoe and soft ball, They are cleaning out the swimming poo! and it will not be long now before we will all be going in swimming and boy, will we be giad! ‘ Our Bible School has been going on now for a week and I believe we have a very good one this year. The head of it is Miss Lucille Thompson. We are all very glad to have her with us, Another one helping her is Miss Jean Murphy. We all received our report cards from Mr. Calhoun not so long ago. We are proud to say that everyone over here made their grade, and we are all glad. Three of our girls over here received scholarship prizes. They were Betty Joe Smith, Lucile Smith, and Maggie Katen. 2 That is all the news for this month. —Helen Hawley JENNIE GILMER.

We have just cleaned the swim- ming pool, With camp and vaca- tions, we are looking forward to a pleasant summer. Howard Hull had a visit from is his grandparents who live in Charlotte. Our fiower garden at _ the barn is doing nicely despite the dry weather. Visit us at the barn, and we will give each of you a bouquet. BABY COTTAGE. First Fioor. Here we are back again to bring you the news, School was out Friday. April 17th, and the graduation exercises took place on the following Mon- day. We had the largest gradu- ating class this year than ever before and all of them received a diploma. Our school boys, Clyde Dellin- ger, Ed Traywick and Everette Vest were al] promoted to the second grade and will soon be leav- ing us to go to Synod’s te live. Most of the teachers have gone now. We certainly do miss them but we hope they have a nice va- cation, Three of our boys, Johnny Col- lins, Boyce Dean Smith, and Billy Ennis, went tc the birthday table in April and from what we heard them say, they had a pretty good dinner. We had quite a few visitors last month. Johnny Collins had a visit from his mother. Clyde Del- linger had a visit from his father | tages, Atlanta; and sister, and Frankie and Boyce Dean Smith had a visit from their grandmother, Now to tell you some of the things we have been doing since school. has been out: In the afternoon we play ball and build make-believe roads in the sand and dirt. We also like to climb the magnolia tree, but we are letting it rest for a while new, so the magnolias can bloom. We like-to play with! the squirrels that the big boys bring over, too. A sparrew is building a nest on our front porch. We like to watch it bringing straw in her mouth for it. Camp will soon be open; also the swimming pool. We will be glad. Before we close we must not forget to thank “Uncle Joe” for the nice candy that be brought. We surely did enjoy it. Be on the lookout for us next month. Until then, so long! —Baby Cottage Boys. SYNOD’S COTTAGE. School is out and we are having a big time playing all day. Forty-one of our boys and girls graduated this year. We surely do miss having them around. _Basebali is our favorite game right now. Some of us play ali day long. ; The big boys were cleaning out the swimming pool today, getting it ready for the summer, We just can’t wait to get in. Charles Stevens went to Lee’s Cottage Monday to make room for a little new boy named Alfred Williams, We like having Alfred stay with us. Some more of our boys are going to Lee’s soon, and We are going to have some of the Baby Cotiage boys come stay with us We have some little baby lambs up here now. They look so cute. We like to play with them when the boy brings the sheep to our place to graze. —The Wigglers.

The grand aggre- gate of regular and Thanksgiving responses was $96,143.88, which meant that the 91,302 members of the Synod had averaged slightly over $1.05 in their support of Ba- rium Springs during the past 12 months, This was 4% cents more per member than in 1940-1941. Seven Preshyteries exceeded their 1940-1941 totals, while two were unable to measure up to their giving of the previous year. Fayetteville Presbytery led the pack with an increase of $1,203.69, followed by Mecklenburg, $1,012.- 07; Granville, $970.33; Kings Mountain, $883.90; Wilmington, $774.90; Concord, $289.83, and Al- bemarle, $273.76. These gains ag- gregated $5,408.48, but Winston- Salem and Orange Presbyteries gave $505.81 and $357.15 less, re- spectively, for a combined decline of $862.96. The net increase for Synod was therefore $4,545.52 in the 12 months. It is noteworthy here to point out that the totals for Fayette- ville, Kings Mountain and Meck- lenburg Presbyteries were the best since 1927-1928; Wilmington gave the largest since 1930-1931; Granville’s liberality was the best since 1936-1937, and Albemarle and Concord had aggregates which were the best since 1939- 1940, Orange Presbytery’s figure lowest since 1938-1939, and Winston-Salem Presbytery hasn’t had as small a total in the past 16 years as was given in 1941-1942, Largest Average. Concord Presbytery takes the topmost rank jn 1941-1942 with the largest per capita average of any) Presbytery. It was 140.2 cents per member. Concord displaces Wington-Salem Presbytery from the pinnacle post, and while this was being done, Kings Mountain Presbytery was showing a gen- erosity that also put them ahead of Winston-Salem. Kings Moun- tain’s members averaged $1.37, and | Winston-Salem had to be content with third place with a 127.4 cents average. Mecklenburg, Fayetteville and Wilmington Presbyteries occupied the same spots in the Presbytery | rating that they had in 1940-1941, | being in fourth, eighth and ninth slots, respectively. The other changes in the standing occurred when Orange Presbytery dropped two notches from fifth.to seventh place. This enabled Albemarle to take thle No. 5 berth over her sixth place of a year ago, and Granville placed sixth, instead of seventh at the close of 1940-1941. Thanksgiving Offering. Final figures for Thanksgiving of 1941 showed an increase of $676.49 over the 1940 Thanksgiv- ing response. This did not quite measure up to an earlier predic- tion that the Thanksgiving sum would be in the neighborhood of a thousand dollars better than in 1940. Some expected reports did not come in in the closing months. Concord Presbytery led the pa- rade of increases made by seven Presbyteries in the Thanksgiving donations. Gains were noted as follows: Concord, $782.58; Gran- ville, $652.94; Kings Mountain, $345.17; Wilmington, $192.52; Al- bemarle, $163.13; Fayetteville, $150.92, and Mecklenburg, $54.53. Orange Presbytery gave $1,342.89 ing season, and the other decrease was in Winston-Salem with a de- cline of $322.41, Final figures for the past two Thanksgiving seasons by Presby- teries is as follows: 1940 1941 Presbytery Final Final Albemarle $ 1,672.02 $1,835.15 Concord 9,720.94 10,503.52 Fayetteville 3,638.49 3,789.41 Granville 2,636.81 3,289.75 Kings Mountain 3,853.54 4,198.71 Am’t Total Per Thanks- Rec’d Mem. for giving Per Mem Year $189.39 10.2¢ 140.2e 1.34 10.8¢ 137 ¢ 4.3¢ 127.4¢ 5.00 6.2¢ 120.7¢ 4.8¢ 94.4¢ 5.2c¢ 9$2.8¢ 12.10 5Be 88.2¢ 59.40 13.3¢ 76.5¢ 27.50 8.4¢ 72.8¢ $294.73 8.1¢ 105.3¢ Mecklenburg 10,623.60 10,678.13 Orange 8,183.84 6,840.95 Wilmington 1,870.79 2,063.31 Winston-Salem 3.478.71 3,156.30 Synod $45,678.74 $46,355.23 Income Distribution. Regular month-by-month giving in 1941-1942 was unsually good, and it is noteworthy that the reg- ular responses of the recently ended year were $3,433.42 more than the Thanksgiving Offering. In the majority of bygone years, the Thanksgiving responses have been over 50% of Barium’s re- ceipts, but in 1941-1942, the regu- lar remembrances were 51.8% of the aggregate. and the Thanksgiv- ing Offering was 48.2% of the total. This greater regular giv- ing is in absolute ~dcord with wishes of officials here, since the Thanksgiving donations arrive on- ly once a year, while the other is scattered over a period of 12 months, Of the regular total of $49,788.- 65, the Sunday Schools sent 42.6% of it, or $21,225.46; Church bud- gets allotted $18,341.14, or 36.9%, and 20.5% came from the Auxil- iaries, this being equivalent to $10,222.05. Each of the three main sources of regular receipts showed increases over last year. These were: Church budgets, $2,288.78; Sunday Schools, $841.62, and Auxil- iaries, $738.63. Below will be found the distri- bution of regular income by or- ganizations in the nine Presby- teries: Presbytery Ch. 8.s. Aux.

A total of 913 organizations had a part in Barium’s_ regular total last year, this being an in- crease of 24 organizations over 1940-1941. There were 341 church budgets that allotted some gift to the home, 296 Auxiliaries had a regular part, and 276 Sunday Schools gave an_ offering-per- month, the fifth Sunday responses or sent something special. Seven less Sunday Schools helped last year, while 27 more church bud- gets sent an appropriation and four more Auxiliaries helped reg- ularly.

Memorial Church Planned (Continued From Page One) fords the donor a latitude in desig- nating that for which his or her memorial gift is to be used, in case there is a particular pref- erence, but unless otherwise speci- fied these sums will be kept in a separate account. As soon as a sum accumulates to warrant the purchase of a government bond, this will be done. In anticipation of such action by the Board, all memorial gifts of 1942-1943 have gone into a special account, and well over $300.00 had been contri- buted in the new church year through the middle of the second month. Favorable reaction has already occurred to this recent decision by the Board of Regents. One party sent a $50.00 check in memory of his wife three days after public announcement was made of what was going to be done, and while he did not say that this decision had inspired his donation, yet it was felt here that it was partially responsible for his honoring a dear one who died last summer. There seemed to have been a fur- ther upsurge in memorial dona- tions, too, since the adoption of this recommendation and a public announcement of it. Officials of the Home will be in- vesting these funds in the Series F government bonds. A $100.00 bond will be purchased for $74.00, and interest is cumulative, the bond maturing in 12 years. The interest figures out at the rate of 2.53 per cent per year when the bond goes to maturity. Since the Home had a 10-year sum, plus the gifts of April and May, that amounted to over $7,400.00, it means that a government bond of maturity value of $10,000.00 will be purchased with $7,400.00. The memorial plan has been in operation for considerably more than a decade, but in more recent years the plan seems to have grown in popularity at an exceed- ingly high rate.

Herbert Good, Charles Camp- bell, Howard Hull, Earl Adams, and Donald Pettus have gone on their vacations. Harold Myatt, J. D. Everett, Charles Barrett, and Grady Mundy will go this week, Others are look- ing forward to going soon. Johnny Meroney had a_ visit from his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Meroney; also his __ sister, Sarah, from Mocksville. J. D. Everett has been in the Infirmary with an infected hand, but he is better now, We have been working in our yard, planting flowers and shrub- bery. We thank Miss Anne Fays- soux Johnston for helping us. Lieutenant Julius Kimard, a former Barium boy now with the air corps, paid us a visit. We en- joyed his stories of the foreign lands. Larry Marlowe, former Barium graduate and brother of Mrs. Ralph Spencer, visited us. Larry is now in the Navy. Mrs. Marshall, our matron, spent a few days at her home in Rich- field, N. C. We were glad to have Mrs. J. D. Lackey as matron. STULTZ COTTAGE Hello Folks, It seems a long time since the last time We wrote to you. Since the last Messenger some of the Barium chilldren have gone on vacations, although fewer went this year than last year because of the tire and gas restrictions. Bill Tyce, Marshall Norris, James Shepherd and Donnie Bolton have gone on vacations from this cot- tage, We were invited to the movie called “The Lady Takes the ‘ly- er.” We were also invited to some baseball games at Statesville. We injoyed all of this very much. We sure missed Mr. Johnston this past week while he was at- tending the General Assembly meeting in Tennessee and we are very glad to have him back with us again. If we were in the Pacific Ocean now, we could write more news but because we are not, neWs is pretty short so “Keep ’em flying.” —Paul Reid DAIRY NEWS Hi folks, We are back again to give you more news from the dairy, right where we are working. Every- thing is going on smoothly here at the dairy, and of course it always dees. We have’ smaller boys/ at the dairy now but we can still get along almost as well as we used to We have lost two of our good workers. One of them, Robert Lee | rs has gone to his home to| stay, and Clifford Barefoot has} gone for a couple of weeks, We have had a little bad luck sinee the last time you heard from us. J. D. Everette got his hand | hurt and had to go to the hospital! Marshall Norris, Bill Tyce, Rich-| but he is back with us now and and Earl Adams had the poision oak but he is back with us, too. Jimmy Hayes is our glamour boy. You can leok at him any time of the day, especially out at work and you'll find that he is always weather gets him down, but if you would watch him play golf you couldn’t see why he doesn’t move to some place where it is hot all the time. Well, I reckon that’s all for a while but we will be back with more dairy news about our work and the ones that do the work next time. So, so long until then. JOHNSTON COTTAGE Dear Friends, At this moment I, Pleas Nor- man, am witnessing a very inter- esting tea party given by Amos Hardy and Billy Everette in their lovely one-room ‘apartment’ in the Johnston bungalo. Their hon- ored guests are Woot Davis and his faithful roommate and play- mate, Howard Clark. Ernest Stricklin, our “hiouse mother,” is taking a vacation which has long been needed and we hope he has a very lovely time, Raymond Good, another of our boys, is taking a vacation in Hickory. We hope he is having a real good time also. I guess you remember last month I said no one could beat Woot Davis and myself in tennis. Well, we are still undefeated, It must be that Woot and I have been working too hard and don’t feel like playing. So we go to bed early and wish a few other pigeons would go to bed early also. A few scandles! Since Howard Ciark moved over to our large building he thinks he is big enough to have a girl friend, so last night my faithful bloodhound, Leslie Smith, caught him snoop- ing around Woman's Building. When asked what he was doing, the reply was, “Chasing Butter- flies.” Another flash! Leland Rogers has been reported by another blooodhound, Herbert MeMasters, as snooping around Howard Cot- tage. Your faithful \eporter, —Pleas Norman WALLACE COTTAGE Since you last heard from Wal- lace, a good deal has happened. One of the biggest things is the graduation of the seniors and the coming of new boys to subsequent Wallace. Five boys from Wallace grad- uated last April: Wallace Twom- bly, Mott Price, Ben Lewis, E]- wood Carter and Dick Parrish. All of these boys were doing O. K. the last we heard. Dick is working in Charlotte and is goimg to Dav- idson College this fall. Wallace Twombly is in his earthly paradise. He is at an aeronautic school. Mott and Ben are some what disappointed. They wanted to get in the Navy but both were turned down, Elwood is in the ship yards. to Dunn to visit his father; There are lots of mechanical gad- | gets on ships so we all suppose Elwood is happy Six boys from Wallace moved into other cottages. They are ard Shoaf, Pleas Norman, Ernest Stricklin and Bobby Whittle. Ray Lewis says he can’t stand Bobby's incessant wanting to know if a letter came for him from Wil- mington. Two of the boys are still at Wal- ; by” of the cottage, t and who said if he ever gets to be 17, he's “gon- na” join the nayy; Douglas Ryder who claims he and Charles don’t like the kind of music “Von’” Staf- ford plays over tlie radio; Charles | Smith and Clifton Barefoot, the being an animal man, snakes and spiders excluded. There isn’t much that we can say about Clifton except that he likes Sourwood Mountain, which isn’t much in the opinion of most of us, Cecil “Butch” Shepherd is another member Wallace. With a name like Ceci] you ean see why he’s called “Butch”. Fred Cole, Stanley Smith, Ray Lewis and Hervey Stricklin make up the rest of the memters of Wailace. Her- vey hopes to someday outweigh his big brother, which is a most commendable ambition. Stanley Smith is the gigilo of Wallace since Richard Shoaf left. His roommate is “Zacheus” Fred Cole, who is a bit too small for the girls. Mr. Sam invited us to see “The Wife Takes a Flier” a few weeks ago. We all enjoyed it. Thanks, Mr. Sams. Everyone around here is work- ing now except those who are on vacations. The boys on the farm are chin-deep in reaping and the last we heard Mr. Clark’s boys are knee-deep in corn. It might be over their heads now. With Mr. Clark telling you about it most anything can happen. We are still trying to get Mr. Clark to enter in a certain club in Burlington and we don’t mean Burlington, N. C. About half the boys in Wallace are on their vacations and most all of the other half will be gone ere long. Camp Fellowship opens the 6th of July and we all intend to be back, for that. RUMPLE HALL This is the Rumple Hall girls speaking to you again. Since we wrote you, a good many of our girls have changed cottages. The following moved across the campus to the Wo- man’s Building: Frances Bowles, Ida Bell Dunn, Miriam Huddleston, Mary Frances Isenhour, Elizabeth! Langley, Jean McDonald, Hannah Price, Eleanor Pope, Mary Bell Reid, Myrtle Rushing, Mary Ann Ryder, Lee. Vingon, Gilda and Glo- ria Whitfield (twins). Helen Haw- ley moved to Annie Louise to be a big girl there. Pearl Morgan and Maggie Katen are at the Baby Cottage with the little boys and Marion Coffey and Toni DeLancey are with the thaby girls. Lucille Smith and Blanche Feimster went to the infirmary to work. This move left eleven girls at Rumple Hall. About an hour after they all moved out, twenty girls came over from Howard Cottage. They are as follows: Frances Adams, Ernestine Baldwin, Margaret Bullard, Peg (twins), y and Betty Coffey lvn Coates, Callie Dunr, Mar h Gregory. Ilia Lee McBride, Starr Langley. Grace . Aline Parham, Anne r Virginia Presnell, Frances Rhyne, Willie Mae Rob- inson, Dorothy Shepherd, Helen Vinson, Haze] Walker and Anne Wicker. Vacation time started May 30th and these have gone for two weeks: Frances Adams, Margaret Bullard, Dorothy and Nita Shep- herd, Lucille Stricklin. Janie Hall, Betty Jo Smith and Violet Knight. Aline Parham is going the last of this week, We'll be on the air again next month. Rumple Hail Girls ANNIE LOUTSE. Well, Friends, you haven’t heard from us in quite a while. Never- theless. we are having a grand time. Vac: time is here and camp time is just around the cor- ner. Peggy Joyce Land and Louise Camr bell are ‘isiting their families and Betty Jean McBride is va- cationing with Mr. Joe Ervin in or Rutherfordton, Ray Powell has ; fone with her father down near | Whiteville. Jane Feimster expects to leave today for Taylorsville, where she wil] spend about two weeks with her mother. We have eight new girls at our | cottage and we sent fifteen of our older Annie Louise girls to Ho- ward Cottage. We miss them very | much, but We are very happy to | have the little girls from the Ba- by Cottage. We have a new matron at Wo- man’s Building.

MARRIAGES, Miss Matoka Torrence and Mr. Bert Rawald, both of Charlotte, were married in the First Metho- dist Church of Charlotte on May 23rd. Mrs, Rawald is a graduate of Barium Springs and was grad- uated from the Woman’s College of the University of North Caro- lina, after attending Appalachian. books. In the afternoon she keeps the swimming pool. She is going to teach us to swim. We like her very much and we consider it such a great privilege to have her work with us. She is Miss Sara MeNeill from Lumberton. Some of us have had very light cases of measles, but we are well now. Goodbye now until next month. —-Annie Louise Girls. BABY COTTAGE. Second Floor. This is the second floor of the Baby Cottage trying to tell you a few of the things that we have been doing. Friday, May 22nd, we sent eight of our little girls to Annie Louise Cottage to live. We miss them lots, but they seem to be very hap- py. They say, “We are big girls now,” Their names are Rachel Barnes, Sylvia Sue Buie, Jackie Porterfield, Barbara Bradshaw, Peggy Ann Collins, Elizabeth Mc- Neill and Mary Frances Morris. We also sent our two big sis- ters, who are rising seniors, to live at the Woman’s Building. We miss. you so very much, Lilly Bryant and Janie Smith, but we are glad to have Toni DeLancey and Marion Coffey come to live with us and be our big sisters. We have two little new girls living with us now, Jacqualine Liverman and Martha Nell Hall. We welcome them, and they seem very happy. Louise Bradshaw and Geraldine Kayton have had visits from their people recently. We are not hav- ing many visitors now, We miss our friends and hope that they can soon come to see us again. Right now Elizabeth Huddles- ton, Marie McNeill, Linda Inman, and Patsy Dean are at the In- firmary with German measies. Hurry and get well, girls, and come back home. We miss you. Saturday, June 6th, Toni De- Lancey is going to Charlotte for a two weeks’ vacation. We want Toni to have a good time, but hurry back, We went in swimming today. It was the first time this summer, and we sure did enjoy it. You should have seen us_ splashing. Oh, Boy! “Our” Mr. Johnston has gone to the meeting of the General As- sembly. We miss him very much. Hurry back, Mr. Johntson. We are sorry that Mama O’Kel- ly’s son, Charles, got sick and, had to drop out of college, but we are glad to report that he is much bet- ter and hopes to get back to Cha- pel Hill for the last summer school. That is all, folks. We will see you again next month. So long. —The Baby Girls. INFIRMARY Hello Friends, This is the latest news from our part of the world. We have had a large number of new children to come in since we wrote you last. They were as fol- lows: Ralph Huddleston, Sara and Terrell Hall, and Betty Sue Wolfe. We have had Kittle sickness. Mrs. MecNatt, our nurse, went ona vacation to Florida. While she was away Miss Lackey was our matron. We are glad to have Lucille Smith and Blanche Feimster come from Rumple Hall to live with us here. We hope they will like it as much as we do. Martha Price is going on her vacation June 5th. We know she will have a good time. Two of our girls, Lillie Belle Smith and Mae Allen Barrett, are vroing to conferences this year. Mae Allen is going to Mitchell and Lillie Belle to Davidson. We read in the last Messenger of the money that has been given for a new church. We hope some- one will give some chimes in memory of some loved one. We are glad to have Mrs. John- ston’s sisters, Mrs. Elliott, Mrs. Wilkinson and Mrs. Marion, with ns on the campus. It’s nice to have Leila Johnston back from school, too. Mr. Johnston is at the Gener- al Assembly now being held in Knoxville, Tenn. —The Little Nurses She has been connected with the health department of the Y. W. C. A. in Charlotte. Mr. Rawald is a graduate of the University of Berlin and has been affiliated with the health department of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. and Mrs, Rawald are at home at 720 Central Ave., Charlotte. Cumbie—Williams. Albert Cumbie, 1932 graduate ot Barium Springs, and Miss Adel- la Williams, of Stokesdale, were married July 7, 1941, but a pub- lie announcement of this was not made until last December, the jn- formation of this trickling in to Barium Springs only recently. Af- ter finishing here, Albert went to Davidson College, graduating in 1937, Since his graduation he has taught at several Virginia prep schools, later worked in Albemarle and more recently has become jo- cated in Shelby. Mrs. Cumbie re- ceived her education at Asheville College and the Women’s College fs Greensboro. Mr. and Mrs. Cum- xe are living at 710 N. L St., Shelby. vaehg Smith—Gibson. Vance Smith, who left Barium about two years ago, was married on June lst to Miss Willie Ozelle Gibson, of Statesville, the mar- riage taking place at the home of the bride. Vance was in a C. C. C, amp for a year, but is now em- ployed by J. C. Steel s Statesville. ae Two marriages of interest to Barium people, but which did not exactly involve alumni of Barium, was Miss Amy Belle Lackey to Mr. Walter Holland of States- ville; and Miss Grace White to Lieut. William Maguwire. Mrs. Hol- land is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Jackey, the former handling the chicken farm at Ba- rium. This ceremony took place in Little Joe’s Church here on June 2nd. Mrs. Maguire is a sis- ter of Mr. Isaac White, who is employed in the mechanical de- partment at Barium. This cere- mony took place at Fort Bragg on June 1st. PERSONALS. Lieut. Dewey Barnhill, a bomb- adier with Uncle Sam’s forces in the Southwest Pacific, has been mentioned in two separate feature articles by correspondents cover- ing the war activity in that see- tion. Both reporters went withl Dewey and other members of the crew on bombing expeditions and Dewey was singled out especially in one for his singing of “I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire” as he pushed the button that re- leased the bombs, Later, another news story came in about this crew, who made a forced landing during which the pilot and _ the navigator were killed, but Dewey and four others escaped. The ac- count of the accident was drama- tized over the Columbia Broad- casting Company network on Sun- day, May 17th, and Dewey was quoted for his part of the account of the tragedy: The five were res- cued from this tiny \island the next day. It is now Capt. Bruce Parcell, instead of Lieut. Parceli, for he has been promoted since his mar- riage to Frances Lowrance, of Ba- rium, on May 2nd, Of course, we know that his marriage had noth- ing to do with this, for Uncle Sam’s advancement of his boys is on merit alone. This word of caution is inserted here, for some of the Barium graduates in the services may get the idea that getting married is a sure-fire way to get a promotion. Mary Elizabeth Sanders, who left Barium Springs four years ago, will graduate in June from the Carolina Hospital, where shie will remain until September at which time she will take the State Board of Examinations. Gene Shannon and David Spen- cer graduated from Davidson in June, ‘and since both have ta- ken the advanced R, O. T. C. course they will go immediately into the army as Second Lieu- tenants. Joe Savage finished at Appalachian in May and is now at the Naval Training Station at Norfolk, Va. A recent visitor to the campus was William Haydon Justice, who was in the Home from 1902 to 1906. He is chief boatswain at the Naval Training Station at Nor- folk, Va. Other visitors have been Joe Keenan, his wife and his lit- tle boy, of Graham: John Donald- son, who is a mechanic’s mate on (Continued On Page Three) Pag Exy of To comp ing Nort made tion three ings num age recen basis Schog figur Th ulatiq 88S as m men leade first but grou rank in t Sund as 5 in t In colu ing qd sis o day was Mouy 1942 for in th age the ment mem man not f ance Yq rend year. total] oth Scho tota grea 64 David Moun Hun Vass Salis} Lum Wes Wilso Paw New Char Cra: Roan Thya Faye’ MecP' Raef Beth Pros Goldg Hick Sain Geor Jack Clar'| New Rut Oln Bur] Erw| Ne Roc On Hill Nor Pin Sai Chal sio Bro lev (c} Da Ek Str mo! wo vie eus| Mel Mol Ch Sai Sa Av (K la Cal Ri Gi Pi bp a ct Ot os ° “S t d Or n Or d ino to pr en it. Ge lion Page Three THE BARIUM “MESSENGER Explanation Is Made of Tabulation at Right, To the right will be found a complete record of per capita giv- ing by any Sunday School in the North Carolina Synod which has made a regular or a special dona- tion to Barium Springs in the past three years, Thanksgiving Offer- ings excluded. These are arranged numerically according to the aver- age of each Sunday School in the recently ended year. The _ true asis of generosity of any Sunday School is therefore evident in the figures to the right. The second division in the tab- ulation is an arrangement of the 88 Sunday Schools which averaged as much as 50 cents per enrolled member, and thus are classified as leaders. All ofi these appear in the first grouping by Presbyteries, but it was felt advisable to re- group them according to their rank with other Sunday Schools in the Synod. In 1940-1941, 75 Sunday Schools averaged as much as 50 cents, so this increased 13 in the 1941-1942 church period. In the right hand corner of column five on this page is a rat- ing of the Presbyteries on the ba- sis of assistance through the Sun- day Schools. Concord Presbytery was first in 1940-1941, but Kings Mountain displaced her in 1941- 1942 with an average of 41 cents for every Sunday School enrollee in the entire Presbytery. The aver- age of 22.7 cents for Synod is on the basis of the complete enroll- ment of 76,679 Sunday School members, even though a good many of the Sunday Schools did not follow a regular plan of assist- ance, You will find 276 Sunday Schools rendering some form of aid last year, giving a grand and superb total of $21,225.46. Had all of the other 284 organized Sunday Schools in the Synod assisted, the total would have been twice as great, 64 Sunday Schools In $100.00 (Continued From Page One Davidson ....... 164.83 Mount Holiy --159.62 Huntersville poe - 154.69 Te -..153.00 Salisbury Second .-152.94 Lumberton «-+--152.50 Westminster (M) a --+--1 48,75 RE UNE escenbetiaiesewtbiacn “aanaciainn’ 148.73 Paw Creek -----1 48.28 New Bern ..... -..140.78 Charlotte First ---182.45 Cramerton Roanoke Rapids Thyatira edie aeecnal Fayetteville First .

Ross Lynn, Superintendent of Thorn- well Orphanage. Dr. Lynn has been an eminent leader in this field and he will be sorely missed in the councils of those who an- nually meet to deliberate over the various problems inherent to all such Homes as this. We have rejoiced over the steady rise of Sunday Schools’ re- ceipts from $13,446.42 in 1938- 1934 to that water sum of $21,225.46 in 1941-1942.

We are staunch supporters of all these things, even as we are staunch advocates of every cause of the Church, The schools here always have an exceptional record in attend- ance. One reason is that little time is lost because of illness, due to the excellent health of the children. Another factor respon- sible is that no dependence has to he place on the arrival of buses, since the two school buildings campus’ and children, regardless of what kind of weather might be experienced.

Those twelve months were unusually remarkable ones in the experience of the Home at Barium Springs, such a_ state- ment being possible because of the generosity of so many fine and loyal friends who live, not only in North Carolina, but also in other states. We are recounting these outstanding events because we know that the jarge concourse of supporters of this Home will rejoice with us over the substan- tial progress that was made. prayers of thle rian constituency plicited for the health of the boys and girls at Barium Springs.

If so, you can send a check to Barium Springs for the Memorial Church and it will be promptly invested in gov- ernment bonds, Should you like to memorialize a loved one to the extent of $100.00, send a $74.00 check and that will buy a govern- ment bond of $100.00 denomi- nation. If your memoriai is to be $50.00, send a cheek for $37.50 and that will eventually be $50.00 when the government bonds ma- ture.

That was clearly evident in the tabu! ation of annu- al sums which haye arrived from Synod in the past 15 years, as it appeared in the June copy of this paper. A most significant fact is that the regular giying was superior to the Thanksgiving Of- fering. Usually, the contrary is true, Authorities are always en- |deavoring to build up a_ larger month-by-month income, knowing full well that a greater systema- tic giving will enable them to more equitably meet the obliga- tion that inevitably are incurred when daily provision has to be made for a family as large as this} « at Barium Springs. | Presbyterians should be mighty | proud of the part which graduates of the home here are playing in t} conflict, Ac- the present world | cording to the latest tabulations, | there are 104 Barium boys in va- | rious branches of the service, and there are six girls who are in the nursing corps.

So far, no cas- | ualties have been reported, thourh two of the boys, J. D, Beshears | and Ben Morrow, have been re- | ported missing. They were in the midst of the conflict in the Philip- _ . We still entertain hopes hat they were among those sur- one as prisoners and will eventually come back to us. mention should be made of those 94 Churches or Mission points which either gave as much, or more, in the Thanksgiving season of 194! as had been con- tributed in any Thanksgiving pe- riod of the past 17 years. The fi- nal supplementary list of Church- es achieving this is recorded in Some the July Messenger, the other names of Churches having ap- peared in earlier issues. Quite a few barely missed being recorded with these 94. For all that has been giyen by any Church at any time we are thankful, and we are especially grateful for the Thanksgiving Offerings since they come to us during that peri- od when individuals are giving vent to their own gratitude for the blessings which they have been enjoying. _ Good crops predominate at Ba- rium Springs this summer, and before the season has been con- gallons of foodstuffs for winter consumption. Yhat quantity of cans Was purchased in January, tor it was recognized that the cost would be greater in the early summer months and _ that aelivery then would be slow. It will be remembered that we can- ned 6,000 galions in the summer of 1941. Barium Springs is a bee hive of activity during the four vacation months, for its takes a lot of work to can The yariety this much food. is large, sin the truck farm furnishes vegetables of many kinds and the orchard supplies peaches and apples _ in abundant quant vegetables and fruits that are im- mediately consumed during the season, 1éS, pesides those We were agr surprised in July to recie two separate 710.00 cheeks for the upkeep of nemorial rooms furnished in the new quadrangle of cottages.

It may be that some others who made possible the furnishing of the rooms may want to dupli- cate this. All such donations will be cordia received, for there is naturally attention nec sary to the reoms as each year gees by. Memorial gifts of all kinds are pouring into the Heme since we decided to use such remembran- ces for a Church edifice. Gifts ar- | rived on Mothers’ Day, and on Fa- thers’ Day; other occasions when gifts have been received are the anniyersaries of birthdays of those dear ones who hiave gone on ahead. Every memorial gift of ev- ery kind, unless otherwise sneci- fied by the contributors, is going in that Church Fund- This idea seems to have captiyated the hearts of friends, and each suc- ceeding year will find a greater number of people cogtrtinelicie to a fund that will one day be utiliz- ed in building a Church edifice which will also contain sufficient classrooms for the Sunday School. The present Little Joe’s Church will never be eliminated, but will be kept as a place for prayer meeting and for the assembling of young people’s organizations for their regular meetings, There is an old adage whic bee “An apple a day keeps | ‘tor away.” Evidently, the of- | als at Barium Springs wer tof the opinion that two apples a S would keep two doctors away, for during part of the year the children are supplied with! all the apples they desired to eat. i was possible through the i it tion of a cold storage plant in the ‘summer of 1941 and ‘* paid ‘large dividends during the winter months in the apples that were saved, In former years, a_ large quantity has bee lost by de- terioration, - but this Joss was kept at a minimum during the re- icent winter, Apples were served from the apple house through the middle of June, They were ayail- able to the school children at re- cess each day and they were also in the cottages, and frequently were served in the dining room. We exchanged some apples for oranges, and thus gave the chil- dren a yariety of fruit. Believe it or not, we haye al- ready prepared the tabulations on the Thanksgiving Offerings that will be distributed and used in the fall of 1942. This was done in May, as a matter of fact. This tabulation shows the amount of the Thanksgiving Offerings in 1940 and in 1941, and it also gives the best offering of the past 17 years and the year in which that response Was made. Preparations have to be started on the Thanks- giving emphasis long before the season arrives. These tabulations were placed in the hands of our printer some time ago, and he has already printed a sufficient num- her of them for the use during the emphasis next fall. During August, we are expecting to place an order for 100,000 Thanksgiv- ing Offering envelopes that will be used in November. One could easily say that the season of Thanksgiving is a period of time when the Home is either “made or broken”, because of the magni- tude of the total which annually enumerated some of the cluded we will have canned 6,000 (Continaed On Page Three) st be vi oo m ?

G. Calhoun Enters Service in August.— Another Teach- er in Defense Work For some time it had been felt that Robert Glenn Calhoun, prin- cipal of the schools at Barium Springs, would be asked by Uncle Sam to join his forces, and the call came to the Barium Springs prin- cipal in August. Mr. Calhoun was inducted into the forces on August 4th, but had the usual two weeks after that to close out his personal affairs, He returned to the induc- tion center at Fort Bragg on Au- gust 18th, and just where his first assignment of training will be has Published by Presbyterian Orphans’ Hom ———— Yet seer neeetanntsanenssteereseecmsienes, e For the Information of Its Friends The Bari Mess BARIUM SPRINGS, N.

Mr. Heth- cox has been a member of the lo- cal faculty for two years. Practi- cally all of his teaching hlas been done in Iredell county since he graduated from Erskine College in 1929. For the past four years, Miss Rice has been teaching in Cuba, and before that she had been affil- iated with several schools in Geor- gia and at Boyden High Schoo} in Salisbury. She attended Georgia State Normal, the University of Georgia and holds a bachelor of arts degree from Catawba College. She is a Presbyterian and comes highly recommended as a teacher and a church worker. She will teach some subjects in the new eighth grade and some of the his- tory. Mrs. Jacking becomes a member of the grammer school faculty again, haying formerly taught here as Miss Laura Northrop be- fore she was married to R. E. Jackins, in charge of the dairy at Barium Springs. Mrs. Jackins is filling in for Miss Margaret Bell, whose request for a year’s leave of absence was granted. Miss Bell is doing some defense work at the time, and is expecting to return for the 1943-1944 school session. Mrs. Jackins taught in the Sharon school of Iredell county during the 1941-1942 school period. In a preceding paragraph’ is was mentioned that Miss Rice would teach some subjects in the new eighth grade, which means that Barium Springs is adding its ex- tra grade by dividing the incoming j;eighth grade into two sections. One will be made up of the ad- vanced pupils to be known as the ninth grade, while those who were not so efficient in their classroom work will be in the eighth.

The inquiry} was specifically designed to find | out the approximate cost of such a cottage. The information was) promptly furnished. We do not! know the name of this benefactor, | but through the lawyer we endea- | vored to voice our appreciation of | this thoughtfulness and considera- | tion. So many wills are made with | which we are unfamiliar and we don't have a chance to express our gratitude to the individual during | his or her lifetime. A fine Christian boy recently gave his life for his country in the terrible world conflict that is in progress, and a Sunday School Class distinctly honored him by sending us almost two dozen vol- umes of books which would in- terest young boys. In the library here a special memorial shelf has been set up and these books ar- ranged on it. Officials at the li- brary tell us that this set of books is proving extremely popular with all of the boys. In each yolume has been written an appreciation of this young chap’s life by the class that contributed this useful and worthwhile memorial gift. No pre-season Thanksgiving Offerings for 1942 have yet been received at Barium Springs, but any friend desiring to contribute | his or her Thanksgiving Offering now can do so, with resultant grat- ification to the hearts of authori-| ties here. Should you want to do this and express a desire that a} particular church be given credit for the gift, your wishes will be| adhered to in a diligent manner. Usually there are some friends | who annually dispatch their] Thanksgiving Qfferings ahead of time, knowing how useful they are to the Home in the summer and} early fall months. Membership in the $100.00 Sun- day School Club at the close of | 1942-1943 will probably be the! greatest ever. This is a Club com- prised of those Sunday Schools which regularly send us much as $100.00 during 12 months. There were 65 Club members in 1941- 1942, and a number of Sunday Schools which have been outside the Club are trying for a seat in the current vear. The total enroll- ment may advance to 76 members. | !

Hi Folks, Yes, it’s us, the Baby girls, just itching to tell you about the day We spent at camp last week. We went Wednesday morning and played around until dinner. Mama O'Kelly was in charge of the cook- ing and guess what we had for dinner, “chicken”, along with a lot of other good stuff. We were the first in line, so we didn’t get the wings and necks. After dinner all of us got to go for a nice long boat ride. We couldn’t go in swim- ming that day ‘cause the river had risen. We had a good time playing in the sand and swinging on the long swings with ropes on them. We got to stay for supper and boy, Mama O’Kelly can really cook hamburgers. We go to rest hour at one thirty in the afternoons and it is so hard for us to go to sleep when we hear Mr. Thomas and his boys bring- ing us some grapes or peaches. graduation from Davidson in 1929, and in more recent: years has heen | | the principal. He is the first mem- ber of the staff at Barium to be called to the colors. Directly and indirectly, the war is affecting the staff of the schools it Barium. The direct effect is the entrance of Mr, Calhoun, the principal, into the Army, and the indirect effect will be the absence of Miss Margaret Bell. Miss Bell teaches the fourth grade and since early summer has been engaged in defense work. She asked for a ve of absence for one year, and Ss was granted, We look forward to the time when Mr. Calohun and Miss Bell will be back at their regular posts in the schools. Hardly a week goes by but that some other Barium boy or bovs join some phase of the fighting forces. Occasionally some of the fellows are on the campus for a little while, enjoying a vacation before they begin their intensive training. The number in the va- rious branches is now close to 125 hoys. Only the two mentioned in last month’s Messenger hiave been reported as missing. But we always go right to sleep, because we can just taste that} fruit. Really, | bet we have better peaches than anybody. Mama O’Kelly hasn’t been our matron for tw coming back today. She sent us a card from Carolina Beach Marion Coffey, one of our large girls, went to camp when Mama O’Kelly did, and Tony DeLancey, our other large girl, is going next week, We know she will have a good time, One day last week we were go- ing for a walk, but when we got to Synod’s Cottage Miss Taylor showered us with the hose pipe. We had the most fun but we al- ways do have « good time at Syn- od's. We went to see Mr. Johnston one night and played in his big yard and watched some tennis playing. So long, everybody, and look for us again next month. The Baby Girls. INFIRMARY. Hi Folks, Here we are again with a bit of the cottage’s news. The thing that is the biggest news to us al! is that Mr. Cal- houn, our school principal, has to leave for the army pretty soon. We hate to sec him go, but we know our country needs good men like him; so we are willing to give him up. You know there is an old sav- ing, “While the cat is away the mice will play Well, Mrs. Me- Natt and Miss Lackey are both away at the present, but I can’t say that we are doing much play- ing. Mrs. Harry Barkley has tak- en Mrs. MeNatt’s place as nurse, because Mrs. McNatt has gone to the wedding of her son, Charles MeNatt, to Miss Madeline Byrum. Louise Everett has taken Miss Lac- key’s place as cook, while Miss Lackey is at camp. Louise seems to be getting along just fine. We haven’t smelled anything burning yet. We are all missing Martha Price while she is away at camp this week, but we know she is hav- ing a good time there. Blanche Feimster and Lucile Smith went last week and they are still talk- ing about the good time they had. Lillie Belle Smith and Mae Allen Barrett go next week and we know they will have just as good a time as all the others. The Smith girls, by the way, are not sisters.

The con-} tributions to the support fund from the Presbyteries was the largest since 1927-’28. Total con- tributions amounted to $96,000 a little over $1.05 per member. It was gratifying that the Church- es more than ever gave to the Home a month by month financial support. This was due no doubt to the Thanksgiving Committee which was made a_ permanent Committee by the Synod and which has rendered such a splen- did service. This enabled the Home to operate on a more economical basis. Not one penny has _ been spent for interest in the last two years and only $18.19 for interest in the last four years. This year it was not necessary to give notes of any description. There have been no deaths a- mong the children during the year. The past year has been a most successful year in productive en- terprises; the apple orchards pro- vided not only sufficient apples to adequately take care of the Synod last year, but enough were left after Synod to supply the children Farm crops are satis- factory. The Home entertained more guests last year than ever in its history. This was due largely to the meeting of Synod and the Tri-State Orphanage Conference at the Home. Usually about 2,000 visitors annually are entertained tat the Home. No doubt due to the tire and gasoline situation, the number of these visitors will sharply decrease. The:e has been a considerably larger turn-over this year in the population of the Home than usu- al, During the past twelve months 58 children have been received and 61 have left the Home. The largest graduating class in the history of the Home was gradua- ted this year—41. It is interesting to note that the greatest number of children received into the Home during the past year came from Wilmington, Fayetteville, an d Mecklenburg Presbyteries, in or- der named. This undoubtedly re- flects the abnormal community and home conditions which have been brought about in these areas with| the coming of Army Camps and Defense Projects.

It was | decided at the last meeting of the | Board to take some particular | phase of the life at Barium | Springs and discuss it in full, | tracing its development in the | program of the Home and the re- | sults that have followed.

Archie Cannon, of {Concord, replaces Dr. J. R. Mc- Gregor as a member-at-large; Mrs. J. M. Hobgood, of Farmville, replaces Mrs. Plato Monk, of Wil- son, from Albemarle Presbyterial, and Mrs. Coit Robinson, of Lowell, was elected as a replacement to Mrs. §. P. Stowe, of Belmont. All three were elected for four-year terms since the period of service for the three former members of the Board has expired. At the same time that these new members were being chosen, Rev. S. H. Fulton, D. D., of Laurinburg, was re-elected from Fayetteville (Continued On Page Three) Newsprint Being Used For Messenger Change Made from Book Paper Because of Large Dif- ference in Cost For some several months, The Barium Messenger has been print- ed on a different kind of paper than that which had been used for a good many years. The paper now being used is newsprint, whereas book paper, which carries a slick and whiter finish, had formerly been purchased for The Messen- ger. Possibly very few people have noticed this difference, but it was easily discernible to anyone in the habit of handling paper of all kinds. The reason for the change was the almost prohibitive cost of book paper when compared with 1941, because of such a rapid ad- vancement in price. A year’s sup- ply of book paper for the 25,000 monthly copies of The Messenger had been costing in the neighbor- hood of $650.00, but the best quo- tations obtainable last January on book paper would have entailed an outlay of close to $900.00, and even the book paper of 1942 would not have been as white as that of (Continued On Page Three) Barium Springs, N.

We have four lit- tle girls in school and of course our two big sisters are in school too, We have eight little girls in kinder garten. Miss McNeil is our teacher. We love her lots ald we have a good time together. Since you last heard from us another littie girl has come to live with us. Her name is Ann Phillips. Welcome Ann, we hope you will enjoy living with us. During August we went to the Playhouse at Statesville and saw picture, “Friendly Enemies’. Thank you Mr. Sams, for inviting us, The dentist is here again and all of the babies have had their teeth fixed. Geraldine Kayton had three teeth pulled, but she said, “It didn’t hurt a bit.” A few Sundays ago, Miss Fay Lowdermilk came to see us and brought us some lovely books to read and color. We were in rest hour and didn’t get to see her, but now we are saying, “thank you”. We are enjoying them very much. Come to see us again soon.

Into this sense of the mastery of all life by the great redemption is brought the added sense that because of crea- tion and the constant upholding of ail life by the presence of God. it all belongs to Him. So steward- ship is a matter of ownership thrice enfor By creation, by the snstainir f the world and life. and by redemption, God is the owner of o1 es and all that we possess.

Eve } vards of the mind. o something more personal than the we cannot sav Y } e “Mine.” 1 has made our minds. No mental acti ity would be pos- sible without the present sustain- ment of God. And this mental life of ours has new vistas of meaning which opens hefore it since the great reconciliation of the cross. Our minds are to be used for God. Thev are the servants of God. Our thoughts belong to Him. Our emotions belong to God. Surelv nothing seems much more definitely our own than our feel- ings. But God holds the secret of our emotional life, even as He holds the secret of our mental life. He made his organism with its capacity for feeling. He con- tinvally keeps it in activity. The great work on Calvary has one of ful of the emotional life. We are stewards of our wills. Here we may be inclined to hesi- tate. Is there nothing which is our very own? The will is the last citadel of the personality. If it is surrendered, all is gone. The an- swer it that all must go. There must be nothing left. All belongs to God. Stewardship which does not include the surrender of the will to God misses the very cen- tral implication of our being God’s possession, We are stewards of our activi- ties. What we do is never done merely by our own effort. Every deed is possible because we live in a world God has made for deeds, and because He helps us at the moment of our activities. Some deeds disintegrate and some up- build. Calvary is the great crea- tor of noble deeds. By creation, by God’s present co-operation in our activity, and by redemption, our deeds belong to God. We are stewards of our possess- ions. Personality finds no surer way of expressing itself than through our use of material val- ues. It is not merely that » little of what we have belongs to God. All we have belongs to God. He made it all, He keeps it a part of our experience. The experience of new life which He has given is a kind of occupancy of us by God which demands the consecration of all our possessions, All that we are, all that we think, all that we do, all that we possess belongs to God. We must remember, however, that God does not desire us to have a slave’s sense of being property. We belong to God, to be sure, but we belong as sons and not as servants of our God. —The Presbyterian News: | came to live with us, His name is Eugene Thomas, from Charlotte, and we are glad to have him.

We were all glad to get back to work after our long vacation. Miss Taylor came hack from vneation the first of September. We were real glad to see her. She told us lots of interesting things ithat she saw while she was at Daytona Beach, Fla. We have been fixing up our playroom. It has just been painted. The ladies from Circle No. 8 of the Mooresville First church help- ed us redecorate it. Miss Taylor got Decalls and pasted them on the woodwork, aeroplanes, flags, ships and lots of other things. It surely has made the playroom | bright and gay. We have some jnew curtains too, but Miss Taylor hasn’t finished making them yet.

LOTTIE WALKER So many things have happened | of late that we scarcely know | where to begin. Vacations were planned early in | the summer in order to make pos- | sible a continuous series of camps lat the river. Everyone was able to take in one of the six camps and some were guests at two. As !a whole we believe that we have | had one of the most enjoyable va- cations that we hiave ever had. A large number of girls were promoted to our building at the beginning of vacation. They are: Betty Lou Williamson, Mabel Vin- son, Lillie Bryant, Janie Smith, Peggy Buie, Myrtle Rushing, Han- nah Price, Mary Anne Ryder, Gil- da and Gloria Whitefield, Jean McDonald, Elizabeth Langley, Lee Virson, Ida Belle Dunn, Eleanor Pope, Frances Bowles, Pat Hooten. Sarah Piner has just entered the home and is making her place with us. We are mighty glad to have her and already are counting her as one of our special friends. Schoo) began August 27th much to the delight of everyone. We have been looking forward to this event ever since it closed last April. To begin the social whirl the seniors started off the year with a buffet supper for the members of the school faculty and the sen- ior boys. Mr. Hethcox is taking the place as principal vacated by the induction of Mr. Calhoun in the army. We miss Mr. Calhoun but are glad to have Mr. Hethrox to take this place of leadership. The committees for the supper were as follows: Food—May Lynn Jones, Marie Morgan, Evelyn Cop- pedge and Lillian Saunders. Dec- oration and Room Committee: Bertha Lee Broome, Lillie Bryant, Juanita McMasters and Janie Smith. Miss Carpenter was in charge of the flowers, and Miss Clark acted as sponsor. The hos- tesses and guests were in formal mitire.

For jhe month alone, the iner ase Was $825.11, which more than offset a de crease of $228.15 noted at the close of | July, The net result js a five- month increase of $596.96 in Syn- od’s giving. In reality, the regula; increase was $25.00 more, for in the Au gust, 1941, income reported were two personal Thanksgiving Offer- ings, credited to specific churches, that aggregated $25.00. No Thanks- giving sums arrived last month. Ignoring last August’s Thanks- giving amount of $25.00 would therefore make a regular gain of $621.96, Furthermore, it seemed likely in the middle of September that there would be another increase for Synod in the current month, 4? |; A_ little over $1,000.00 was need- ed in the last 15 days of Septem- ber to equal the September, 1941, receipts and on the hasis of ex- perience there is a strong pes- | sibility that this much will arrive in the second portion of Septem- ber. August’s giving by certain Pres- byteries caused a considerable shakeup in the standing of all but two of them. Winston-Salem con- tinues to held on te first place and Concord remains in second position. Compared with last month, here are the way changes occurred: July Aug.

Of that grand total, the Sunday Schools had dispatched 48.5%: the Chureh budgets had appropriated 38.7% and the Auxiliaries had donated 17.8%. The Churches budget al- lotments were $119.33 less than in the first five months of 1941-1942; the Auxiliaries were $122.24 ahead, and the Sunday Scheols had an advantage of $624.15 over the August, 1941, total.

Not only was this true, but the income from Synod last month was $830.19 better than in September of 1941. Since; Synod had been showing increases in most of the previous months, | this means that the Churches, Sun- day Schools and ixiliaries hac i! | given Barium S nes $1,482.25 | more in the firs half of the} Church year now under way. | : od This announcement is gladly} and happily made, for it has meant | a considerable x int of rejoic- | ing that such a bstantial gain could be made between April and | September. Officials would be feeling better, though, if the Oc- tober donations had been holding} up to those of October, 1941. On the 20th of October there was a difference of $628.65 in that which | had been posted from the Synod as compared wiih the same date of 1941, | No Thanksgiving Offering had | been received for the Rephenmet | report, though there will be several sums recorded for the month of October in next month’s copy of | the paper. Through October 31, 1941, $281.00 had been posted as Thanksgiving Offering. More than | that had already been received in October of 1942 before going to press with this issue of The Mes- senger. In the first six months, Presby-~ terian friends have averaged! slightly less than 20 cents per) member in the Synod, or 19.8 | cents, to be exact. That’s over 40) cents less per person that is need- ed to take care of the needs, but) this per capita giving by Synod is going to climb soon with great! rapidity when the 1942 Thanks- giving response is made, Here’s the lineup of Presbyter- ies in their giving through the sixth month: Presbytery ch. 8. 8S.

The maples are turning to shades of gold and red. Come around to see us when you can and enjoy the sights. It is nearing time for our feet to be fitted for winter. We are looking forward to that, for it means a trip into town some night after supper when the dish- es are all washed and put away.

Usually, the greatest number has been away back yon- der in 1925, but that had to take second place with 77 when the statistics were prepared for the October issue of The Messenger. Elsewhere in this issue of the paper will be found the names of 533 churches or mission points. There are more than that number of churches and missions in the Synod, but when the name does not appear it means that no | Thanksgiving Offering has arriv- ed for the past two years. Listing all of this in The Mes- senger takes up a considerable amount of space, it is realized, but it has found that these annu- ai tabulations have been the in- centive for some churches to do better than ever before and win the honor of breaking a _ long- standing record in their giving during the Thanksgiving period of the year. | The extremely lean years of Thanksgiving Offerings under- ,| standingly occurred in the falls of 1941, 1982 and 1933, Those were the bottom- depression years. In i931 and 1932 only five churches | for each year have their highest aggregates and only six in 19383. Considerably more than half, or 293 of the churches have had their best Thanksgiving sums in the past eight years, and during most of those eight years there has been the ‘effec ‘tive functioning of a Synod’s committee to promote the interests of this Home - a committee that has now become a Permanent Committee of Synod. it is to this committee that large credit is due for the outstanding records of recent years, and some of those time-honored peaks are expected to be surpassed in the fall of 1942 as this group of ten men directs the emphasis through- out the entire Synod. Below will be found data on the number of churches in each of the past 17 years when their top- flight Thanksgiving sums were eontributed: } No. of Churches Year T7 1925 33 1926 56 1927 18 1928 20 1929 20 1936 5 1931 5 1932 6 1933 23 1934 28 1935 40 1936 16 19387 24 1938 28 1939 40 1940 94 1941 22? 1942 ahead of last year, but the notable increase came from Sunday Schools which showed a gain of $1,209.55 in six months.

The alumni were treated to a football victory over Troy high in the afternoon. There was a short meeting of some of the returning sons and daughters after lunch in the din- ing room, and during the session Mrs. Earl W. Jordan, formerly Ruth Freeman, was elected secre- tary of the Alumni Association. Her address is Route 8, Charlotte. She is filling the unexpired term of the former Miss Lucile Burney, who became Mrs. James Fred Edwards last May and who now lives in California. Officers are selected for two-year terms, which means that Mrs. Jordan will serve until the next Home-coming. Usually a letter is sent out ahead of time and a Thanksgiving Offering envelope enclosed to the houses, h here, it a half to church. Joe was too small to walk that far.

According to Miss Lulie E. Andrews, clothing secretary, this is the best rec- ord insofar as she remembers in the receiving of money for clothing in either the fall or spring. Some of the absentee amounts for the other 64 were coming in during the early days of November, and it should be an almost perfect record by the end of this month. There are 62 children who receive clothes from outside the Home. Of that number, 28 had received their boxes of clothes bv October 31st, and funds for their shoes had been forward- ed for 31.

The score was 20-14 in favor of Barium, although the Albemarle team played well. We had the following visits from ! our people: Albert Clough’s sister and her friend came and Maggie Katen’s sister and her friend came to see her. Uncle Joe Erwin brought us some suckers for which we wish to say, “I thank you.” Our kindergarten teacher gave us a Hallowe’en party.We had a nice time, and went to supper with our caps on and our horns blowing. Everyone in the dining room seemed to enjoy our little pa- rade, Someone would blow their horn a little louder than the first one, and every one had a hearty laugh, which helped to digest our supper. John Bullard gave us a Hallowe’en pumpkin. We want to thank him. Thankseiving will soon be here, and we have much for which to be thankful—for friends and a safe nlace in which to live. Home-Coming is next Friday. There'll be some of the ex-Barium bovs and girls. we hope. and a fine football game. —Baby Boys ANNIE LOUISE It has been only a short while since we wrote you last, but lots of things have happened.

Q. Who supports Little Joe’s Church? A. Mainly the workers at Barium. For a good many years it received Home Mission aid, but it is now self-sustaining. There are a few neighbors who are members at Little Joe’s, but the overwhelming majority of members are the children and the staff at the Home. In the benev- olent giving emphasis is placed upon all church causes, foreign missions usually getting the largest sum of any cause. Q. Who is th Church? A. Rev. Thos. C. Cook. Q. State what done for the training of the children. esent pastor of Little Joe’s religious A. All of the organizations in a normal church are in existence at Barium Springs. The boys and girls go to Sunday School, Church, and they have their Junior, Intermediate and Senior Young People’s Societies. Q. Do any of the children go to school else- where than at Barium? A. No, all of them attend school in the two buildings that are on the campus. Q. What part does the State pay in the support of the school? A. The State pays the salaries of eight members of the teaching staff, (around $8,500.- 00 annually) but does not pay anything for the upkeep of the buildings nor is any money paid by the state for janitor’s service, etc. The local schools are not set up as a separate entity, but are. on the records, under the Troutman schools of this district. If once set up as a separate unit, the State would pay more of the teachers than at the present time. Q. Approximately how many acres are there in the property? A. 1150 - 500 in the big farm, 100 in the truck farm, 100 in orchards, 100 in buildings, campus and roads; 100 in pure pasture-land, 156 in woodland pasture, and the remaining 100 is woodland. Q. What is the value of the properties? A. The auditor's report for 1941-1942 had a value of $1,154,574.97, made up of endowment, capital and operating funds. Q. How much of that is endowment? A. $262,547.58, but the income on slightly over $69,000.00 of endowment is designated for special purposes other than the regular opera- ting expenses. Q. How has this endowment been created? A. Mostly through bequests of friends who specified a permanent investment of their lega- cies, only the income to be used. In a few iso- lated instances there have been donations from living people for the endowment. Q. Who supports the Home? A. The Presbyterians of the Synod of North Carolina principally. Q. What per cent of the income is depen- dent upon the generosity of friends? A. 80%. Q. What are the main sources of contribu- tions? A. Regular giving by church budgets, Sun- day Schools and Auxiliaries and by all three of these groups at the Thanksgiving season. Q. What part is regularly given and what part comes as Thanksgiving Offering? A. Usually it is approximately 50-50. Some- times the regular giving is slightly over 50% of the receipts, though more often the Thanks- giving Offering is over 50% of what Synod gives in a year’s time. Q. Explain the ways of regular giving. A. The Home is in Synod’s budget for 9%, Synod recommends to the Sunday Schools an Offering each month since the budget giving would not take care of the needs, and the Auxil- jiaries themselves inaugurated the plan of $1.00- per-month per Circle. Q. What part does each source play in the regular 12-month total? A. An example is 1941-1942, when Church budgets sent 36.9%; Sunday Schools forwarded 42.6%, and Auxiliaries dispatched 20.5% of the regular income. Q. What is the highest and lowest receipts from Synod in the past 20 years? A. The high-water mark was touched in 1927-1928 when $109,372.03 was contributed, and the low ebb was in 1933-1934 when $67,106.46 was donated. Incidentally, Synod’s total of $96,- 143.88 in 1941-1942 was the best since 1927-1928. Q. Is the Home in debt? A. No. In 1933-1934 the peak indebtedness of the Home was reached when Barium Springs owed $107,490.74 at the end of the fiscal od. All indebtedness was eliminated by the of 1936-1937 and the Home has been operating debt-free since that time. Not a penny contribu- ted today goes toward debt retirement or in in- terest costs. It can all be used in caring for the Page Two children and in maintaining the Home. Q. How many children have been enrolled since the establishment of the Home? A. On October 1, 1942, 2,084 had at one time been residents, which included those in the Home now. Q. What are the ages of acceptance? A. Children can be accepted if they are waiking (seldom under two years of age, though one set of twins entered when they were 18 months old) and 12 years is usually made as the limit. Exceptions are made in the latter age, of course, but adjustment is harder if they enter the Home after they are 12 years old. Q. What is the annual “turnover” in popu- lation? A. It is usually around 35 children in a normal year, but between May and September of 1942, 62 children left the Home - 41 graduating and some going back to re-established homes. That was an abnormal year, for 41 is the larg- est graduating class in history. Q. What happens to them when they gradu- ate? \. If the boy or girl can’t get work on their own volition, officials aid them. No child ever leaves the Home without the superintendent knowing where they will be located, The case worker keeps in contact, too, with the gradu- ates. Q. Do any of them go to coliege, and if so, which ones? A. Yes, those who are ambitious for a col- lege education and who have the ability, though the number is governed by the amount of money available. Q. How are they financed? \. Some friends have established a loan fund for college students, and more recently a $15,600.00 scholarship fund has been given for investment, the income to be used in the college education of Barium boys and girls. Q. What is Barium’s health record? A. In a family averaging 325 children from 2 to 18 years of age there have been no deaths since June, 1933, and only one death since’ July. 1976. Q. Do you have a resident physician and is any operating done at Barium? A. No, there is no resident physician but one of Statesville is annually employed and sub- ject to call at any time. Operating is done in a Statesville hospital, with recuperation largely in the Infirmary at Barium under a competent nurse. Q. What is the annual drug bill? A. In 1941-1942, the drug bili for the 324 children in the Home was $464.52, which was an average of a fraction over $1.43 per child for the entire 12 months. Q. Describe briefly the health program. A. Each January there is a health clinic of a general nature and a tuberenlar clinic. Any child failing to gain normally in height or weight goes back for a second examination to find out why. At proper periods, inoculations, vaccinations and diptheria anti-toxin are given. Everything possible of a precautionary nature is taken to prevent illness. A dentist spends three weeks going over the teeth of all children. Special dental work during the year is done in Statesville. Q. How much weight does the usual Barium family of over 300 gain annually? A. Slightly more than a ton - or an average of about six pounds per child. Q. How are the children clothed at Barium? A. In two ways: Either by local organiza- tions or individuals who make the clothes, or by sending money to Barium Springs for the clothes. In either case, the money is always sent for on which can ‘be more acceptably fitted locally. Q. If money is sent, how muchi does it cost to clothe a child? A. $35.00 a year is the average, sent in two annua! installments of $17.50 in the fall. and spring. Until the spring of 1942, the amount asked was $30.00 a year, but higher prices made it necessary to raise the sum. It doesn’t cost that rauch for smaller children, but it costs more than that for the larger, bat $35.00 is asked re- gardless of the size of the child. When children reach high school age, the money is preferred, as the clothing can be done more economically at Barium. The material can be purchased at wholesale prices, the equipment is available for making the clethes and the senior girls are here to sew them. Q. How many are clothed by organizations and individuals who make the clothes, and how many with money sent in? A. Around 65, the others with contributed sums. Q. Do you give the children any vocational training? A. Yes. but rot in the sense that there is a vocational department in the school. In the regular routine of the Home, the girls learn to. keep house, to cook, to sew, to do undry, etc., and the boys can get training at the dairy, in (Continued On Page Three) Se ae November 1942 THE BARIUM _ MESSENGER Catechism On Barium Springs (Continued From Page Two) the orchards, on the truck and big farm, in the shoe shop and printing office, on the mechani- cal group or with the carpenter.

Yes, the surplus vegetables and fruits are canned. Some of the products put aside for winter consumption are string beans, tomatoes, tomato juice, apples, apple sauce, ketchup, pie peaches, desert peaches, peach preserves, peach butter, peach pickle, cucumber pickle, pear pickle, Page ‘Three Synod Is Ahead | during November.

We got our report cards last week. Some were good and some were not so good, but are all going to work harder than ever, so they will all be good next time. We have a little new boy at our house. His name is Tommy Scott. We like him a lot, and we think he likes to stay with us. Pleas Norman took us on a walk last Sunday. We had such a good time, Some of our boys are learning songs and poems about Thanks- giving. They are going to Moores- ville and Charlotte to present pro- grams. We went to Belk’s in Statesville the other night to get our winter shoes. Now old Jack Frost can’t nip our toes. Wish you could come and see our playroom since we have our pictures and curtains up.

No. When it is revealed that it takes 24 gallons of peaches for a meal, and when it is recalled that meals are served 1,095 (365 x 3) times a year, that much food (staggering though it might seem to some) is far insuffi. cient for the annual needs. No jellies are put up, and very few jams. T. Walker, Q. State briefly some of the fi ments, require- A. The children drink 125 gallons of milk a day; when scrambled eggs are served it takes 600 eggs scrambled with five or six gallons of milk; four bushels of potatces (sweet or irish) covers the need for a meal; if meatloaf is served, it takes a quarter of a beef; or if ham is on the menu, it takes six good size hams to vive each child a slice (all the meat used is raised at Ba- rium); four bushels of tomatoes will take care of one meal’s needs; 14 large bakers of corn- bread, supplemented by 25 loaves of lightbread would take care of the bread needs. answer is Q. Do you serve meals only at 1 ianksgiv- ing? A. No, though a good many people might | think so, since they make contributions only once a year. These Barium children eat three meals a day, 365 days a year just like any other child. ; There are usually over 1,000 meals served daily. } Those who give only once a year, though, can make their Offering large enough to take care of some of the other 364 days. ward Walker and Jerry Young.

Our good Circle One of the Mooresville Auxiliary gave us enough for two porches, _and an- other good friend from Kannapo- lis gave us the other porch, They are in three colors, blue and two i ‘-jends in shades of red. We appreciate them very much. 7 Miss Long’s sister, Mrs. Fred Walkup, and ba by daughter, Elaine, spent a few days in our cottage recently. We all fell in love with the baby and about de- cided we had rather have her than Spot. ; Pitiss Turner has been reading us “The Bird’s Christmas Carol by Kate Douglas Wiggins. It is a beautiful story. We want to wish for all of you “Merry Christmas and a happy bright New Year.” BABY COTTAGE. Second Floor. We had a good time Tuesday af- noon. Miss Straughn invited us to visit her little folks at school—-the little first grade. They played games and we played with them, ate apples, listened to M iss Straughn tell Christmas stories, and heard them sing pretty songs. GOP PPLE LOD LL DLL DILL ILL DIOL I IS er Pe : ‘ ’ News From Most of the Cottages at Barium; , rr have some attractive new We sang with them some of the time, Ve saw the pretty things that the children had made, One little boy, Junior Ennis, had moulded a cradle with the little baby Jesus in it. They moulded snakes, frogs, pigs, elephants and lots of funny things. Patsy Deane enjoyed look- ing at the picture books. They had made little houses with a chimney and had a pretty little Christmas tree on a table. Thank you, Miss Straughn and the little folks. Our big sisters, Toni DeLancey nd Marion Coffey, are practicing us for a pageant. We dress up li Mary and Joseph, the Wise Men and the Angels. We like to do things. We are building a picture story in our playroom. It is a Christmas story. Louise Bradshaw’s father came | | to see us and brought oranges for all of us. They were so sweet and juicy. Shirley Hall’s grandfather and | | Auntie and little sisters came to| |see her last week and brought nuts and candy. } We went to walk this afternoon | and Mr. Johnston was sitting on} the steps at the office building. | All of us jumped on his lap at} the same time, pulled his hat off, | and he just laughed and we had| the best time. ‘Bye till next month. —Baby Girl SYNOD COTTAGE e | ror day off | A man to ovr church last ect 1 1 us some of the beerti ] pictures of the | Welw Laat.

T’» didn’t even stop eating. Robert Lee and Charles Hall hed a visit from their grandfather Sunday. They sure were glad to see him. Evervbody at our house is try- ing to be real good so ’Ole Santa will fill his stocking. We hope he will be awful good to you. Wishing you a Merry mas. Christ- —The Wigglers. INFIRMARY. Dear Friends, We wish ever ne of you, A ‘Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Christmas is just about here. It iust doesn’t seem possible that the time could have passed so quick- ly. Of course, all the cottages are getting ready, hanging out wreaths and decorating their trees, Mrs. MeNatt had a visit from her son, Charles, and his wife. Thev couldn’t stay very long and both of them looked very good. Bertha Lee Broome, a_ senior girl, is here recovering from an| oneration for appendicitis. Marie | MeNeil. one of our smallest girls, and two small boys are here. We have had two little girls and two boys to come to live with us this week. We hone all four of them eniov their stay up _ here. Thev certainly picked a good time to come, didn’t they? Our basketball team is living up to the praise they received last vear. The fact that so many of our vood players graduated last year doesn’t seem to bother the girls | end boys at all. We weigh and measure for our health examination this month. | I’m sure the scales will bear out all we have been saying about the good health! of our campus. School is out for the holidays December 23, and everyone 1S studying hard for the examina- tions. We will not have to bother with school any more until the {th of January, But confidentially we really do like school, except it sometimes seems sort of funny to study about things that happened way back then when s0 many things are happening now. Our Thanksgi offering was wonderful, and take this op- portunity to thank all the people who gave to it. A One of our Lillie Bell Smith, was selec one of those to attend the young peopl 8 con- ference of chil: from Homes like ours. They at Lexington. We wish yo 11 a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year. | —The Infirmary Girlls. HOWARD COTTAGE Hello Folks, Here are the Howard girls back with you again. Last month we had seven girls on honor roll. They were Ethe! Brotherton, Shirley Inman, Kathleen Monroe, Mary Morgan, Elsi Vest and Betty Sue Wolf Three of our girls had this month. Gennie Lee visits Phillips, Helen Morgan 2nd Gwendolyn Landrum. It has been snowing and we had a good time while it lasted. We wish to thank Mr. Sams for inviting us Thar iving to the show. We sure did enjoy it. We want to thank Daddy Johnston for letting us go. Miss Long, that sure was a good Thanksgiving dinner, um, um. Every one enjoyed it to the last bit. Well, it is just about time for Old Santa. Have you been good? We have tried awful hard. So long till rext time, we'll be writing you. —Howard Cottage Girls. BABY CO’ First Floor | Our little beys are always want-! ing to know if certain people are Americans, or German, so one of our little bovs, Johnny Collins asked our tron, was Ole’ Dan Tucker an American?

We 1 Mooresville and program for Circle ited the Books of the Bible, 1/Uth Psalm, twenty third Psalm, Apostles Poem and sang two songs. I guess we will sign off, and see you again next month. —The Little Boys. ANNIE LOUISE Another month has gone by and it seems too good to be true when we realize that in just three weeks Old Santa will be around with his huge pack of toys and goodies. We have wriiten to him, so he won’t forget us. We were very sorry to see Mrs. O’Kelly go. Just last year she was our “mama” before we moved to Annie Louise. We love her and we hope she will come back to see us soon. We are glad to have Mary and Vivian Bowles. They were her about three years ago. They. lived with us at the Baby Cottage. We have twenty-nine girls now. We had several visits from friends and relatives within the past month: Peggy Anne Collins’ father, who is jin the U. S. Armed forces, Miss Caroline Battley came and had Thanksgiving dinner with Caroline Wicker, Anne Austin’s mother and grandmother stopped by to see her, Eloise and Mary Frances Morris’ mother paid them | Salisbury, announce the ' Packine a visit. Their father and some relatives came to see the Brad- shaws. From Cooleemee came Louise Campbell’s_ sister. Mary’ Alumni News (Continued From Page One) Walter Archer announce the mar- riage of Sergeant Archer's sister, Avis, to Roy Curtis McLaughlin on December 5th at Charlotte. No information was given about the bridegroom, but the bride worked in Che.lotte and was later a resi- lent of Laurinburg. Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin are living on Route 7, Charlotte. Jones-Bender. Alice Jones and Sergeant David Neiffer Bender, of Philadelphia, were married on December 5th. This information came in a brief note from the now Mrs. Bender, but no revelation was made about her husband, Alice worked in ridson for a while after leav- Barium, was at Carolina in the summer, and more recently was in Wilmington. She was at Barium for Home-Coming Day. John Irby McDonald, whois connected with Uncle Sam’s forces and is located at Topeka, Kans. wrote that he had been married for three months, but he did not furnish any information to us as to the name of his bride before marriage. The first revelation of the event was John Irby’s letter telling that his wife had been run over by a hit-and-run driver in Topeka, suffering serious injury to her left side. John is one of the most-traveled of all the boys, for he has been shifted all over the west and mid-West several times. BIRTHS. Staff Sergeant and Mrs. E. N. Bussey announce the birth of a davghter, Mary Lou, in Charlotte on December 15th. Mrs. Bussey is ti Warner. the former Miss Odessa Mr. and Mrs. George T.

Ai has passed his physical for the army, but was deferred until Jan- uary 11th. PERSONALS. Suppose you were living around a thousand miles from Barium | “i and walked into a restaurant one night and saw an old Barium ‘riend sitting a few tables away! What would be your reaction? just that thing happened to Caudill (now Mrs. J. 8. len) and Essie Roper (now T. W. Clarke), beth of whom married Canadians and are living in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. But, let them tell the story as it was related to Mr. Johnston in a let- ter written on December 5th’: “We are two of your girls who have married Canadians and are now living in Canada. “While we were out having din- ner with our husbands about a 2nd Vivian Bowles’ mother was up to see them Sunday, and Peggy Joyce Land’s mother came Tues- day. All the girls at our were so happily surprised on Thanksgiving Day, the Business Woman's Circle No. 1 from Bel- mont sent us the nicest little in- dividual packets of candy. We surely did appreciate t heir thoughtfulness. We almost have a perfect score on our clothing boxes. We have received all of them but one, We think our clothes have been the nicest we have ever had. Thanks a lot, friends. The music club met in Miss Greene’s studio. Peggy Joyce Land and Helen Hawley had a part on the program. Our cottage and Howard Cot- tage sent jointly, cards of Chirist- mas greetings to those of our hoys who are in the armed ser- vices overseas. We were very hap- py to be able to help cheer up the boys a bit. Our reports came out last week. We had six honor rolls: Louise Campbell, Eloise Morris, Peggy Joyce Land, Hazei Creech, Pattie Inman, Svivia Sue Buie. We're closing until after Christ- mas. If you see Santa, tell him that we are trying to be awfully cottage here, George | | week ago we met, not knowing that the other was living in this city. We were thrilled to death. wwe often think of you and how wonderful that you were to us. How is everything in North Caro- lina? We would like to visit back at the school but it is so far away that is impossible. We are writing this together in Tom Clarke’s of- fice. He is, as you see, in Real state and my husband is travel- ing for Universal Pictures. We are both nicely situated in Hamilton. We hope that you and the family are all in the best of health “In ‘closing, we wish to thank you for all the kindness received while at school and we really think of you often. A very merry Christ- mas and a happy New Year to you all.” Mrs. Carsecallen i Carrick, and Mrs. C!

She formerly lived in Fayetteville. Mrs. Mary Lathan West Sulli- van now lives at 11-D Nesbit Court, Wilmington, where her husband is project manager for I’ederal Housing Authority. Mrs. Lucile Mizzel! Dresnok is living at 2528 S. Rosewood St., Philadeiphia, Pa. She is taking a defense job and needed her birth certificate. Her husband works in the Navy Yard at Philadelphia. They have one son. Among recent visitors to the campus have been Lieut. Eugene Shannon, who had a 10-day leave from California; Henry Alessan- drini, in the Marines, who was off for a few days before transferring from New River to California; Corp. Sam Lackey, who is doing mechanical work for Uncle Sam, and is located at New Orleans, La; Lieut. Wilson Lowrance, who is stationed in a hospital in El Paso, Texas, and Howard Beshears, who operates on one of Uncle Sam's ships. Perhaps the best way to give some detailed news of the boys and girls in the armed forces is to quote partially from a letter which Mr. Johnston wrote the first of December, It is recognized that many changes in locations have already been made and promotions have taken place, but it won’t be old news to a lot of people. Any- body desiring the latest address of any in the services can write to Barium Springs, and in most cases it can be furnished, for the boys and girls keep in close touch. Here are extracts from the De- cember letter, and perhaps the best policy in the future is to quote from his letter each month: “Our very youngest recruit, Les- ter May, was in the Hospital at Pearl Harbor laid up with what he said was red measles. “Dalma Jessup out in Lincoln, Nebraska happened to run across Miss Una Moore, and from what they both say about it, they must have gotten together at the big- gest eating contest ever! “A.C. Gant is now in the Pen- sacola Naval Air Station and has run across Joe White. Joe says this is the only Barium boy he has seen at his station, although he has seen a lot he knew while at good and we hope to see him soon. Barium and ASTC.
