Johnston shows group of children crowding around them after the dinner in their honor. The Last Fifty y JOS. B. JOHNSTON Several years ago I wrote a book and called it “The First Twenty.” It was an account of the first twenty years of athletics at Ba- rium Springs. This article which I am writing today is an account of the unusual things that have taken place during the last fifty days of my stay here as superintendent of the Orphanage at Barium Springs. This fifty days embraces a period of time that is full of many pleas- ant things that are on the regular schedule of events: the football banquet where we get together and gloat over our victories, excuse our defeats, and brag on each other and just have a genuine good time. That is always a highlight in the vear’s schedule of events. Then there is the Davidson party where so many of our young people go and have the time of their lives. Then there is the “Give To” Christ- mas Tree that somehow just puts us in the right spirit for Christmas. Then there is the party that Mr. Bob Stowe throws every year for more and more of the Children at Barium. And then there are the numberless events of Christmas week to recount all of which would mean that this article would have to be broken down into individual experiences. There is the spending of Mr. Johnston Irwin’s gift which he always sends for the newest newcomers at Barium. Then tiiere is the health clinic that always takes place the first week in Jan- uary. Now, you would not ordinarily think that a health clinic would be a social event, and yet it is with us. The children are always so delight- ed to come back and to see how they check up; the doctors get a great deal of pleasure out of seeing the growth and development of the children whom they recognize from year to year, and the members of the staff at Barium are always in- terested in seeing the result of their efforts toward better health for the big family. The things I want to write about today, however, are the things that have happened to me and my little whitehaired lady during the last fifty days that we lived in the big house. To begin with back in No- * ee KEK KK HK RK KE KH HE H THANK YOU! The members of the staff and the children would like to thank each person that had a part in making our Christmas such a happy one. We wish it was possible to thank each one personally and to tell you how very much we appreciated what you did. We do try to acknowl- each package that comes in but often things are mailed from stores or other places and do not have the name of the sen- der or have no label at all. Many times a number of pack- * ages are sent in one large pack- * age with only the child’s name * on it. Many packages are * * brought here and handled by a * * number of different people, or * * taken to the cottage with the * child’s name and we do not * know the individual or organi- * zation.

It turned out to be a sort of a shower as well as a farewell party, and the gifts they gave to Mrs. Johnston made her feel and look like a bride, and made me resolve that the first trip wnich we made of any length after my retirement would be a second honeymoon. The next unusual event happen- ed at the football banquet. Ordin- arily, the awards and the trophies go to the players, sometimes to the coach. This time to my amazement and delight the boys presented me with a trophy, claiming that I was a good sportsman and all that. I had never looked on myself as be- ing a good sportsman. I have always gotten such a thrill out of athletic contests, especially those in which Barium participated, that I have sometimes wondered (and I am sure my friends have wondered too) if my helping to build up athletics at Barium was from a purely sel- fish motive - I just wanted to enjoy it myself. Well, however that may be, one thing is certain - - I will enjoy the possession of that trophy and the thought of the kindness of the boys who presented it to me all my days. The next event was a supper party given to Mrs. Johnston and (Continued On Page Two) Television Set Given to Mr. and Mrs. Johnston by Alumni Association The Barium Alumni Association met at the Barium Springs High School building on December 20th for a picnic supper with Mr, and Mrs. J. B. Johnston as honored guests. The purpose of this meet- ing was to present Mr. Johnston with a television set as a token of appreciation for all he had done for them. Arthur Roach, president of the Alumni Association, called the meeting to order and asked several peuple to get chapters organized in their area. Cheek Freeman was asked to organize the Charlotte area and Louise Martin Carson the Winston-Salem area. The meeting was short delightful picnic supper was spread on the tables before them and everyone was hungry. After the Arthur Roach called for attention and asked Mr. and Mrs. Johnston to come up be- fore the group. Roach made a short speech thanking Mr. Johnston and his faithful helper, Mrs. John- ston, for all they had done for the alumni, and then the television set was uncovered. Mr. and Mrs. John- ston were asked to pose for several pictures and Mr. Johnston made a short speech. He spoke of how he had planned to get a two-bed car and travel, but since he had re- ceived a tronhy at the football banquet and now the television set, he would have to get a place to sit down and watch them. There were present thirty-eight alumni with their families, making around sixty present. The alumni Joe B. Gibbs, Ed Flowers, Lafayette Donaldson, Herman Clark, Roscoe Smith, Ralph Spencer, Bobby Spencer, Donny Bolton, Paul Horne, Amos Hardy, Wallace Twombly, Nelson Farmer, Ann Fayssoux Johnston (Continued On Page Two) because a meal present were: In Lieu of Music By JOS. B. JOHNSTON Do you remember the kind of weather we had in this part of North Carolina on the night of Sunday, December 18th? Just to refresh your memory, it was a drizzly, foggy, depressing sort of a night, a dangerous night to travel in heavy traffic and the traffic is always heavy on Sunday night. Well on that day Mrs. Johnston, Brother Elliott and I went to Char- lotte. In the morning we enjoyed the services at the Myers Park Presbyterian Church, heard a won- derful sermon by Dr. Jones, spent a delightful afternoon with rela- tives, and then started in a leisure- ly way to get to Davidson in time for their Christmas musical pro- gram, Those who have heard this program know that it is worth traveling miles to hear. We left Charlotte about 6:30 P. M. We were listening to Christmas music over the car radio and at peace with the world, and then just be- fore we got out of Charlotte our radio stopped working. We did not think too much about it, assuming that there was some trouble at the broadcasting station, but after going a few blocks and passing the old Ford plant, our lights went out and the engine began to miss and then we really became alarmed. There is no filling station along there and with traffic solid both ways it gives a driver a mighty bad feeling to have a skip- ping engine and no lights. In our desperation we looked around for a place to head in where we might try to find help. On the left of the road we saw what had been a filling station. There were lights in it but not under the shed. We could dimly make out a car and a man there, so we maneuver- ed our car around and edged into that place. We found that there (Continued On Page Two) NO. 3 = The Message of the Month By REV. CHARLES H. SIDES THE LURE OF THE UNKNOWN “Not as though I had already at- tained , . .” Philippians 3:12, I would like to be an explorer. So would you. So would we all. For there is a great deal of curiosity in each one of us. We want to know what lies outside our experience, we want to know what fascinating thing may be down the road a piece, in the next county, the next state. And while we may like it well enough where we are, still we won- der what it is like elsewhere. For that is the lure of the un- known, And as long as we live, I suppose that we shall be just like that, wondering about the things we've never seen, wondering of the people we’ve never met, wondering about the experiences we have nexer known. For the unknown is thrilling and endlessly fascinating to us all, It was in part at least the lure of the unknown that sent Colombus out across thousands of miles of uncharted seas toward the new world that they did not know exist- ed. And yet they went, braving storms and winds, in ships so small and unseaworthy that we today would hardly want to venture out into a lake in such ships. And for them perhaps the thrill of dis- covery, of seeing new places and new people far outweighed the danger. It is such a spirit that has always pushed on the explorer, Magellan, Cortes, Ponce de Leon, Cabot, Peary, Amundsen, Byrd, and a host of others. It is that same lure of the un- known that has prompted the dis- covery of countless new drugs to overcome sickness, that has led men to the invention of all the amazing machines that improve and often threaten the world. The development of new more powerful telescopes has pushed back millions and millions of miles into the hea- vens the limit of what man has seen. And the lure of the unknown has brought discoveries of atoms and electrons, the smallest things known to man. And in all this exploration the things that are unknown seem more and more limited. Of course it would be foolish to say that in a few years all the unknown will be explored, but we can’t help won- dering if we aren’t approaching the limit of our minds. But in it all, there is still a great unknown we have never explored. It is time, to- morrow, and all the tomorrows that remain as ever. We have the past, we have the present, but tomorrow is ever stretching out before us in the compelling lure of the unknown, So let us think of tomorrow for awhile, the New Year, all the days and years that stretch out before us. Some of us have stood beside the shores of the Catawba River out at camp and watched that river flow on under the bridge and out of sight. Perhans as we watch it we think of where it is going, past Long Jsland, to the south under the bridge at Mt. Holly, on into South Carolina, past Lancaster and Great Falls, beyond Camden into Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie, on through the Swamps past his- torie Charleston and at last by Ft. Sumter and on into the Atlantic Ocean. Yes, we stop and think of where it goes, but the river never stops its headlong rush to the sea. And so we think for a little while now about time, about the future, but the river of our lives rushes on. On past yesterday, with its joys and sorrows, on past todaw with its opportunities, on into the un- known tomorrow and the New Year. But what of this unknown, this thing called time that lies before us? For the young the river of life seems to flow so slowly as we reach out toward every new day. For those who are older it seems to flow more swiftly and some- times we would wish to hold it back. Yet for us all it has its lure and its thrill and its endless fas- cination. For one of life’s great unknowns is the future. 1... The lure of, unknown excitement and adventure may lead to sin.

Nothing extra was prepared jn the Way of food - it was just a yegular supper but present there were all the workers at Barium, no matter where they lived. The boys and girls who go to our school but are not members of the Orphanage family, the teachers, and every employee, no matter how humble their job may have been. Mrs. Johnston and I were the honor guests, This was the first big meal in Rumple Hall in nearly twenty- eight years which I had not had anything to do with the arrange- ment. It gave me a very queer feel- ing to stand out in the lobby wait- ing for the bell to ring for us to go in the dining room without my run- ning in to see if the arrangements were alright. Well, Mr. Sides pre- sided at this particular supper, and nothing unusual happened until we had eaten our ice cream and cake, and then the Glee Club sang some beautiful numbers. One was my favorite and J have asked for it so many times that the members of the Glee Club smile when I make the request - - “I wonder as I wan- der” and Franees Stricklin sings the solo part. When you hear her and see her in this you can forget that she is a good basketball player too. After this the colored help took over - some fifteen men and wo- men. They sang two numbers and no choir anywhere could have done better. We have heard the Fiske Jubilee Singers many times over the radio and at one time saw them. They could not beat our band of volunteers who sang apparently without rehearsal. I do not believe there was a dry eye in the whole dining-room: I would not know about this, however, as I was afraid to look around for fear too many tears might come into my own eyes. After the singing Mr. Arrowood took over and presented me with a bound volume of letters from practically everybody at Barium Springs even down to the little children in the Baby Cottage. The letters were to Mrs. Johnston and me. Some of them were love letters, They addressed us hy many names. Some called us “Mom and Pop;:” some, “Mr. Joe;” some, “Mr. and Mrs. J. B.” Of course, we did not read those letters then but we sat un pretty late that nieht reading them, and there is this danger about them: if we believed half the nice things that were said about us we would be ineurably conceited. I do not know where we will travel or what we will do or how much baggage we will take along, but that book of letters will go wherever we go. It will be used as a tonic to cure homesickness. lone- someness, or any of the ills that might affect us in the vears to come. We love every one who has a letter in that book and every one who was in that dining-room when the presentation was made. There were some letters that we especially prize from the “serub” orphans, Maybe you do not know what a scrub orphan is. Well, they are the children of the people who work at Barium or who attend our schools. Sometimes they are neg- lected and in our zeal to do for the orphanage family it is possible for them to be forgotten. They gave themselves the name “scrub orphans” and it started in another institution, not this one. After the presentation of the hook Mr. Sides then took over again and presented us with a traveling bag. He assured us that there was no significance attached to the bag and we are glad that he made that statement because it might appear that with all the fine things said and written about us at this meet- ing that there was a possibility of our changing our minds and just not leaving at all. With the bag in our hands we could not very well reverse our position. After this two more selec- tions were sung by the Glee Club and the meeting adjourned, but it did not break up. It seemed that every child and every grown up wanted to have a personal word with us, maybe it was a boy or girl who had been here so long that they did not remember any other home, or maybe it was a lad who had onlv been here a few weeks - they all seemed eager to let us know that they loved us and hated to see us go. This article is written the day after this all happened, and we feel now that we could not stand another such fifty days - - not thiat we would not enjoy it, but our emotions might give way. We have not mentioned the daily occurrence of some special things - a dinner at the Lowrances, another at the Arrowoods, the special courtesies and attention which we have re- ceived at the Infirmary since we have been living there, the eager- ness with which we are invited to visit the various cottages, and the pleasure we have giotten from these visits. All in all, even if it were possible for us to forget all of our other experiences at Barium Springs, the memory of the last fifty days would suffice to give us pleasant thoughts for the rest of our lives. This is the last article I will write as editor of The Messenger but I hope to send in articles from time to time telling of our travels and experiences. We will be away in our bodies but our hearts will still be at Barium. We do not know who instigated and arranged these various parties, but whoever it was did a perfect job and it gave Mrs. Johnston and me delightful memories to carry: with us always, Very few people have our good fortune. Mesias of the Month (Continued From Page One) It is a very common feeling that life is quickly passing us by. Often we think that our lives are dull and drab and commonplace. We yearn for adventure, something to quick- en our emotions, and cause us to feel that at last we are really liv- ing, And so it is easy to become dissatisfied with what we have and wish so often for the forbidden fruits of pleasure and adventurous living. For some it seems that the only answer is at last to find that what we have is better after all. One man learned that lesson very young. The life down on the farm was certainly not a very exciting one. There were jobs to do and responsibilities that were the same day after day. The garden had to be cultivated, the vineyard re- quired constant care, the flocks and herds had to be watched so that they would not stray. And through all the days the scenery was the same and the people were the same. And to the young man it all added up to one thing, he was completely bored with life. Sometimes as he went about his duties, a traveler would stop for a moment to chat. And as he talked of great cities, and forbidden pleasures, the young man’s eyes would glow as he lived in his imagi- nation those experiences, At last nothing would do but that he must go and see for himself this wonder- fully thrilling outside world. So he went, It took a little while, but at last there came the day when he knew how empty and how sin- ful such a life really was. And he knew that he would give anything for the simple unexciting life down on the farm. He had learned a cost- ly lesson. Jesus called him the prodigal son. Let his lesson be our first thought just now. There are things in life better left always to the un- known. And so may we refuse to let the lure of unknown excite- and adventure lead us into sin. II. Adventuring into the unknown alone may lead to destruction. The truth of that was proved vividly back in 1925. A man named Floyd Collins had a very interesting and very dangerous hobby. It was to explore parts of caves where no one had ever been before. For years his hobby proved interesting even fastinating as he would push further back into a cave and come upon some beautiful cranny that human eyes had never seen. But one day as he was exploring a nar- row passage he carelessly shoved a rock that was jutting out from the wall of the cave. It fell and in falling pinned his legs to the ground. He died there, a victim of his hobby of exploring. For he had violated one of the laws of explora- tion - never go alone! Now you and I are exploring, we are exploring a New Year. But we shall make a grave mistake if we enter it alone. There are too many temptations and too many dangers for us to go alone into that un- known. For we have an all-power- ful friend who loves us dearly and who wishes to go into that unknown with us. That friend is God. III. There are certainties even in the unknown future. One of the fascinating things about the unknown and one of its lures is the fact that we can never be sure what we will find. That is especially true of the New Year and all the future. None of us knows exactly what it shall bring. We have our hopes and our dreams and we live always expecting that they shall come truee. But whether they do or not, there are always things that are certain and sure. The first is God Hihself. Whether life brings success or failure, joy or tears, friends or enemies, God’s promise stands as the one thing that we may rest on. “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee nor forsake thee.” God is speaking unto us through Jesus Christ, and Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. May we remember that as we enter into the unknown, that God will be there too, unchanged and unchanging, the God who loves us. The other certainty is you. God created you with an ever lasting soul, And that soul that makes you the person you are is going to live on and on into eternity. God has even granted that you can say what that future will be. He has given vou the choice between life with Him and life without Him. “See, I have set before thee this day life and good, nd death and evil, the blessing and the curse; therefore choose life, to love the Lord thy God, to obey His voice and to cleave unto Him, for He is thy life, and the length of thy days.” Will you make life with God a certainty as you venture into the unknown of the future. IV. The lure ofthe unknown shows dissatisfaction with the present. Does that sound strange? per- haps it does, since a little while ago we said that sometimes we need to learn to be satisfied with what we have. But we are thinking now of the sort of spirit Paul had when he said, “Not as though I had already attained ... .” He was straining toward the future, to- ward a day when he would be a better person, when he would know his Saviour better, when he would kuow all the blessedness of living completely for Jesus. And Paul was in a hurry for that day to dawn, It was the sort of spirit the shepherds had when they went “in haste” to Jerusalem to bow before’ the Saviour. I need more of that haste toward heing what Christ wants me to be. So do you, so do we all. More of that reaching forth unto a better way of life that Christ promises us, We should be dissatisfied with ourselves. We should reach out to attain that way of life. There was a man once who dreamed that he was in a meeting of evil spirits. Satan was calling for volunteers to go into the world and ruin men’s souls. One said that he would convince men that there was no heaven. Another said that he would convince men that there was no hell. But Satan wasn’t sat- isfied with that. Until one spirit came forth with an idea that Satan thought was best of all. And he was sent forth immediately into the world. What was this spirit’s magic formula that so pleased Satan? It was this - the spirit said, “I will tell them not to hurry.” And I think that Satan and all his evil spirits have long been do- ing just that. Telling us not ‘») hurry, telling us that there is all the time in the world to give our hearts completely to Jesus Christ. Don’t believe it. Remember that God tells us that “now is the accept- ed time.” Now is the time to get dissatisfied with our service of Christ, now is the time to resolve on the threshold of this New Year that we will rest all our hopes in God. Now is the time to start ven- turing into the unknown wtih God as our leader and our guide. “Not as though I had already attained ....: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” REGULAR Miscellaneous Gifts December Receipts _ CORRECTION: The quilt listed as coming from Mace- donia Women, during October, should have been Biscoe Wo- men. _ CORRECTION: One quilt, linens, listed in Dec. issue from Mrs. T.

C., FEBRUARY 1950 NO. 4 The Background of the Picture Reception At The Woman’s Buildiag Honoring the New Superintendent and Family Surely some explanation ought to be given the readers about the picture that has been appearing in the papers and the one that ap- pears in this issue of The Messen- ger. Well, the Women of the Church are to blame for it. You can al- ways count on them to do the thing up in grand style, and that is what they did here. The Women of the Church thought that the Barium family ought to have an opportunity to meet the McClure family and so they made the ar- rangements. The living-room of the Woman’s Building was decora- ted almost as if for a wedding re- ception with candles, flowers, and punch bowls. The ladies were dress- ed up as pretty as pictures, and then they invited the superinten- dent and his family in and lined them up. Beginning at 6:30 that Saturday evening the little folk from the Baby Cottage started coming by and the superintendent and his family had the privilege of shaking hands with them. After they were served their refresh- ments they moved out, making room for another group to come, and so on they came from the Baby Cottage, Annie Louise, Howard, Synod, Lees, Jennie Gilmer, the boys in the Quads and the young women in the Woman’s Building. The adults on the campus and the members of the Church in general ended the procession. It was in- deed a grand occasion. (Continued On Page Three) Father-Son Banquet Held At Barium Charles W. Brown, Head of Charlotte Office of the FBI Was Principal Speaker One of the big events of the year is the Father-Son banquet held here in the dining room and spon- sored by the Boy Scout organiza- tion of Statesville. This banquet was held this year on February 2nd. Area chairman, John Donnelly, set up the banquet and presided at the meeting. The banquet was served by the kitchen staff and the dining room girls. Appropriate to “groundhog day” the meat was sausage, flanked by grits and gravy, green beans, can- died yams, cole slaw, rolls, ice cream and cake, with milk and coffee to wash it down. The Barium Springs Glee Club under the capable direction of Mrs. Lee Spencer accompanied by Miss Mary Ann Schepman sang, “My Grandfather’s Clock” and “Why Do I Love You”. Raymond Horne, a student at Mitchell College, delighted all with ten minutes of magic. Other interesting items on the program were “What is a Boy” by Bill Long, “Scout Law” by Bill Walker, “What Scouting has meant to me as a Boy” Jimmy Moore and the reading of the poem, “The (Continued On Page Three) Distinguished Guest: Children.

Arriving at four o’elock in the afternoon, he found the church auditorium filled with children and adults to hear him. For nearly forty minutes he thrilled the entire audience with the beauty of his music and with his interesting conversation between the musical numbers. He was at once the great artist and again the warm, lovable personality as he talked to the boys and girls in an informal way from the platform. His words of wisdom and counsel concerning the necessity for education and religion on the part of the children and the great advantages that they have here in America certain- ly turned their thoughts to serious- ness. The melodies from the Stra- divarius, about which he told us, thrilled our hearts as we saw what one man could do through the in- spiration given him, plus long years of practice and hard work, This grand occasion was made possible by our friends in States- ville. Mr. James Meacham had called to ask if we would like to have the concert and Mr. Hugh Mitchell and Mr. L. Cordon came with Mr. Rubinoff to ui» campus, so we are indebted to these our friends, the Lions Club of States- ville, and to Mr. Dave Rubinoff for a beautiful and lovely concert afforded the children here, After the concert was over thie photographer was making a few shots as Mr. Rubinoff came out of the church and there was a mad scramble on the part of ail stand- ing nearby to get in the picture.

On Sunday afternoon, January 22nd, the supervisor of buildings and grounds discovered that the main boiler in the furnace room was leaking. We went into action to get this repaired. The men came early Monday morning and began their work to rolling tubes in the boiler to get heat right away. This was completed and the water was turned on again about noon on Monday, and then instead of having a slow leak we had a shower bath. The tubes were twenty years old and the rolling made bad mat- ters worse. It meant that a com- plete set of 86 tubes had to be put in. The small auxiliary furnace is insufficient to carry the load and it is not in good standing with the insurance company, so fast action was necessary to get heat back on the campus before it got too cold. The next several days were spent trying to locate the 18-foot tubes and have them installed so that we might have hot water for the laundry, for bathing, and for heat- ing purposes. That is all finished now and we are ready to go again, and you may look for cold weather to come just any time now that the Lord has taken care of Barium Springs with this warm spell dur- ing the boiler-breakdown. Illness Fatal To Mrs. John Mack Walker Was Former Member of the Board of Regents of Pres- byterian Orphans’ Home Mrs. John Mack Walker, Sr., wife of Dr. J. M. Walker, the for- mer pastor of Steele Creek Pres- byterian Church, was stricken in her home at Montreat on Tuesday, February 7th. Suffering from a cerebral hemorrhage she was re- moved from her home to thie hos- pital in Asheville where she died on Wednesday night at 10:30. The funeral service was conducted in Watts Chapel on the Union Theo- logical Seminary campus in Rich- mond and the body was laid to rest in the family plot in Rich- mond. Mrs. Walker, a daughter of the manse, was born in York, South Carolina, while her father, Rever- end T. R, English, was pastor of the church there. Her whole life was to be spent in the same environ- ment for she married a minister and spent long years of service in the manse as a daughter and as a wife and mother. Upon Dr. Walker’s retirement from the pastorate they moved to Montreat and have been living there until the time of her death. Mrs. Walker was for 8 years a member of the Board of Regents of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs, serving as chairman of the case work com- mittee, doing a most effective (Continued On Page Two) GIFT in memory of NAMée OF DECEASED ADDRESS DATE OF DEATH SURVIVOR TO BE WR:iTTEN ADDRESS RELATIONSHIP OF SURVIVOR TO DECEASED ONE GIVING MEMORIAL ADDRESS PAGE TWO BARIUM MESSENGER Published Monthly by Presbyterian Orphans’ Home REV.

MESSAGE OF THE MONTH By REV. CHARLES H. SIDES GOD'S ANSWER FOR EXCUSES “And Moses said unto God, Who am J that I should go... ? And He said, Certainly I shall be with thie. .3” The life of a shepherd might seem exciting. The constant ad- venture of exploring new scenes and new places as he leads his flock to find water and pasture. The ever-present danger of wild animals lurking near by, watching, waiting with endless patience for one of the flock to wander away from the safety of the shepherd’s care. The brief savage struggle to protect the flock. The possibility always of robbers in human form hiding behind the next hill or in yonder clump of bushes. Adven- ture, danger, excitement - the thrilling life of a shepherd. But not this shepherd this man called Moses - this roughly dress- ed, weather-beaten man, already with the lines of age and outdoor life seaming his face. Not adven- ture, but the monotonous sameness of day after day leading the flock alone. No one to talk to, no one to see, just the sheep and goats for company. And not even for him the pride of ownership, of know- ing that these were his, for he was tending the flocks of his father-in-law, Jethro. For weeks and months and years it had been the same. For all he knew it might be that this would be his life for years yet to come. Across the dry dusty wastes of the deserts he came, silently, ex- cept for the occasional bleating of the sheep or the harsher cry of the goats. At last the desert with its clumps of prickly shrubs was behind. He began to climb, as a mountain range loomed up ahead. At least the monotony of the de- sert was past, now as he climbed, he could look back toward the burning haze where he had been, and ahead to the lofty peaks tumb- ling upon each other. At last he saw what he had been searching for, a green grassy slope where the flock could rest and graze. And now he could rest, his body perhaps, but not his mind, For perhaps he was thinking of the years gone by, for the past had been thrilling and romantic. Maybe he wes thinking of comings forty years before as a fugitive fleeing out of Egypt. And he thought of the palace, and his life there, and the brilliant prospects he had. But all that had seemingly been thrown away: his education, his own natural gifts were buried in the monotonous existence of a shep- herd. Because of a moment’s act that had grown out of his anger at seeing his people mistreated, he hed come to this. And perhaps for ell he knew this would be his life, this life of a shepherd. Rut as he sat there, his head bowed in thought, suddenly out of the corner of his eye he saw a fire flame up. He turned and looked at a bush that had without any ap- parent reason begun to burn bright- ly. “But then,” he thought, “strange things happen sometime in the empty wilderness.” But as he looked, expecting the fire to burn out in a moment, the bush burned on and on. Curiosity over- came him, he must see the reason that this bush could burn with a THE BARIUM MESSENGER searing flame and yet never burn up. And the voice of God cried out his name, “Moses, Moses.” Fear- fully, trembling, Moses heard that voice saying, “I will send thee that thou mayest bring forth my people out of Egypt.” A clear unmistak- able call from God, a task to do, a service to perform. Now you and I expect no strange and compelling call. But if we are honest with ourselves, we may eX- pect that perhaps today or tomor- row or in the coming years we too shall know without any doubt that God asks us for service. It may be that for some of us God will ask that we devote all our time to him, for others that God will require part time work in the church and Sunday School, for all He will ask and expect love and loyalty to Him in every thing that we do. Usually we will begin to make excuses as Moses did, but let us see just how God answers our excuses, I. Inferiority God’s words were hardly spoken before Moses blurted out his first excuse, “Why, who am I that 1 should go?” And no doubt he was thinking, “I’m just a shepherd, I’ve been buried here out of touch with the world for forty years, I’m not qualified for this great task. Long ago I tried to do something for my people and had to flee as a crimin- al and a fugitive. Why, who am I to try again? I simply can’t do is, But then very simply, God gave the answer to this objection, the only answer really, as he said, “Certainly I shall be with thee.” Even today when God calls us, something like this comes to our minds, the feeling that we are in- ferior, that we are not able to do the noble work of God, In a way I suppose we should feel that. Cer- tainly we should be humble and know our limitations. But to us God makes that same answer- No, you can’t go alone, by yourself you would not be able to do the things I ask, but remember, “I shall be with you.” II. Ignorance Moses realized that in God’s eyes his first excuse was a weak and paltry thing. But he continu ed, “When I say unto the people that the God of your fathers hath sent me, they shall say, “What is his name, and what shall I say unto them?” And he was thinking that as far as he knew the people might in forty years have drifted far away from God. How would he be able to convince them of God’s nature. And God answered, “Say unto them that I AM hath sent you.” Say that the God who is eter- nal, the never changing God, the God of every need and problem, the personal God has sent you. The excuse of ignorance is not a good excuse, Not for Moses, not for you and me. For that same living and loving God has shown himself to us in Jesus Christ His only Son. Do you wonder whether you know enough about God to tell someone else of Him? You know that God loves you, that God has sent His Son to die for you, that through faith in Him you shall live and never die. Do you know that? Then you know the important thing, and with God’s help and your efforts, you shall come to know Him better. For God never calls those who think they have nothing more to learn. He calls those who want to learn more of Him. III. Impossibility Well, Moses’ first two excuses had not worked. So he decided to change his tactics a bit. Instead of talking about himself, he would talk about the people to whom he was to go. “Behold, they will not believe me,” he cried out. And now he seemed to be thinking not so much about the cruel tyrant Pharaoah as he was about the people. You see he knew those people, and he had reason to be- lieve that they would be hard to convince. After all he remembered their angry question, forty years before, “Who made thee a prince and a judge over us?” No, the people would not be easy to make believe. But God was ready as ever to overcome that doubt, as he provided Moses with the magic rod that could become a serpent. Certainly this should prove that he was no ordinary man. Now we aren’t given any magi- cal powers in these days to prove that God is behind us, but we are supplied with the power of God to convince people. The excuse is still being made - these are ungodly times, peoples’ hearts are harden- ed, it is impossible to show them the truth of God. Don’t let those excuses impair your witness for Him. Remember and rely upon God’s presence and power. Cer- tainly we need more of the spirit of the Korean Christian who was FEBRUARY 1950 ———— asked concerning his church work, ‘Can you do it?’ about men’s work, but not about God’s work. IV. Inability Moses, seeing that his excuses were getting him nowhere, put forth what he thought was, the clincher, “I am not eloquent,” he said, “for I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue.” And yet there was probably more to it than just an excuse. Moses had lived in the palace, he had gone in and out of the king’s courts. He knew how necessary it was t0 speak quickly and well in those surroundings. He knew too that this work that God would have him to do would lead him inevitably to that court. God understood that too, but he also had the answer. It was simply for Aaron, Moses brother, to go with him and speak for him. How often is that same excuse used to avoid serv'ce of God today. But remember this, there are places to fill that do not require a glib tongue, and ways and ways to show God’s love for all people. You can witness for him in what- ever you do, and a life of love and service of God is far more impor- tant than the most eloquent ser- mon that was ever preached. V. Indifference The last excuse of Moses could hardly be called an excuse. In fact there is some doubt as to what he meant, For he said, “O Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.” He must have meant, send whomever thou wilt. Since you are determin- ed to send me, even if I would rather not do it, and don’t feel able, to do it, then I will go if 1 must. There certainly isn’t much enthus- iasm in that! But he may well have meant something else. You remem- ber that Isaiah said, “Here am I, send me.” Moses may have been meaning to say, “Here am I, send somebody else.” Whatever he meant, it was an answer of indif- ference, and God was angered by it and urged him again to accept the challenge. I am afraid that God is some- times angered by our indifference. We know these excuses well, we use most of them from time to time. We see work in the church) that needs to be done and must be done, and we say, “I'll do it if no one else will, but if you possibly can, God send someone else.” May God for- give us that our own indifference often far exceeds that of Moses. The story of the shepherd who did not want to serve does not end in indifference but it is a very human one, A story that need not have happened thousands of years ago and far across the world. For it can and often does happen here and now. There is the lesson to be learned that excuses in that day or this are not of value in the sight of God. But the truth of most value is that Moses at last went bravely forward to the work with the glad assurance that God went with him. He undertook that work slowly and almost unwillingly. But he never turned back, for he was a man chosen of God, and he knew it. And God never failed him; He was always adequate in every need. There were difficulties, but there was also God to guide and help. You will not remember these excuses- inferiority, ignorance, im- possibility, inability, indifference. I do not expect that you will re- member the story of Moses, and his God who would not accept ex- cuses. For his God is your God. He calls and will call on you each one for service, Accept it willingly and gladly, rest on God through His Son, your Saviour. May your prayer and mine be: “May thy rich grace impart strength to my fainting heart, my zeal inspire; As thou hast died for me, O may my love to thee, Pure, warm, and changeless be, a living fire.” Illness Fatal To Mrs. (Continued From Page One) piece of work fer the church through her services to the Home. Working together with the case worker, Miss Rebekah Carpenter, many long days and nights were spent in services of the children of the Home. Perhaps no other per- son who has been a member of the Board of Regents has done any more distinguished work than did Mrs. Walker, For six decades this lovely lady of the manse lived and served her God and has now gone to be with Him and to receive her reward. All the family at Barium Springs express thanksgiving to God for the beauty and nobility of her life and pray tiiat someone will be raised up to carry on her noble work here in this world. Leadership In every field of human endeav- or, he that is first must perpetually live in the white light of publicity. Whether the leadership be vested in a man or in a manufactured product, emulation and envy are at work. In art, in literature, in music, in industry, the reward and the punishment are always the same. The reward is widespread recogni- tion; the punishment, fierce de- nial and detraction. When a man’s work becomes a standard for the whole world, it also becomes a target for the shafts of the en- vious few, If his work be merely mediocre, he will be left severely alone—if he achieve a masterpiece, it will set a million tongues awag- ging. Whatsoever you write, or paint, or play, or sing, or build, no one will strive to surpass or slander you, unless vour work be stamped with the seal of genius. Long, long after a great work or a good work has been done, those who are dis- appointed or envious continue to cry out that it cannot be done. Sniteful little voices in the domain of art were raised against our own Whistler as a mountebank, long after the big world had acclaimed him its greatest artistic genius. Multitudes flocked to Bayreuth to worship at the musical shrine of Waener, while the little group of thase whom he had dethroned and displaced argued angrily that he was no musician at all. The little world continued to vrotest that Fulton could never build a steam- hoat, while the big world flocked to the river banks to see his boat steam by. There is nothing new in this. It is as old as the world and as old as the human passions—envy, fear, greed, ambition, and the desire to surpass. And it all avails noth- ing. Tf the leader trulv leads, he remains the leader. Master-poet, master-painter, master-workman, each in his turn is assailed, and each holds his laurels through the ages. That which is good or great makes itself known, no matter how loud the clamor of denial. That which deserved to l've—lives. —The Baptist Program. Never before has the American dollar had such good-byeing power. One man in a thousand is a lea- cer of men; the others follow women. When money talks, nobody pays much attention to the grammar. First The Beam This is a true story: At a Wash- ington, D. C., parent-teacher asso- ¢ ation meeting, there was a dis- cassion of the character education experiment which is being carried out in the schools of the nation’s capital. A father from one of the Government offices spoke against the nlyn thus: “What they need to do is teach the children common honesty. I bring home pencils from the office for the children to take to school. T don’t care, because the rvencils don’t cost me anything, but my hov no sooner lays a pencil on the desk until someone comes along and steals it from him. Just let the schools teach common honesty and we won’t need character education.” Journal of Education. A lad from Brooklyn turned up in a mess line in a Texas camp holding the rattles from a rattle snake. “Where’d you get ’em?” a K. P. asked. “Off a big woim,’ big city soldier. ’ answered the First Little Girl: “Has your sis- ter begun takin’ music lessons yet?” Second Little Girl: “She’s takin’ something on the piano, but I can’t tell yet whether it’s music or typewritin’.” A small boy sat in the gallery and watched the preacher read a carefully written sermon. One page after another was laid aside until 30 or 40 of them had been piled up to the left.. The youngster had watched the pile to the right de- crease. When, therefore, the last leaf was carefully laid to the left, the minister lifted his face and said, “And so my brethren, on _ this wonderful theme I could go on and on and on.” It was too much for the impa- tient little boy, and so he shouted, “No, you couldn’t. You are out of stuff and you know it.” “You say you have no distant relatives?” “Well, not right now. They are all living with us.” Sextette In Lead At (Continued From Page One) Barium victory.

They are Walter Plyler, Lawton Rice and Svdney Morrison. Miss Ford went off and Ray Clark stayed with us for a week-end. Ray played with us a lot. A lot of the boys got Valentines from their mothers. We went to a lot of basketball games. We are going to play Lexington Tuesday. Lawton Rice is back from the hospital and feeling fine. He had an operation, I guess it is time to close now. See you all next time. By now. — The Lees Boys SYNODS Hello Friends, You didn’t hear from us last month but that won’t happen again. With Valentine Day coming Tuesday we are very busy with bits of paper, lace, hearts, etc. Mr. Ralph Spencer, our Sunday School teacher, had a party for us with all the trimmings. We had a won- derful time. Last Sunday the famous violin- ist, Dave Rubinoff, came down and played for us. lt was different from anything we had ever heard before. He told us the story of the music and we appreciated it much more that way. We have been to the movies several times this month, After seeing Sands of Iwo Jima, most of us plan to be marines. Helen Vinson, who used to live in our house and be our substitute matron, was married last Satur- day night to Roscoe Smith. Mrs. Hough has gone to Myrtle Beach’ this week-end and Miss Taylor is our matron. : You’ll be hearing from us again next month. — The Synods Boys HOWARD Hi Folks, We haven’t written the cottage news since Christmas, so its time we caught up. We received many nice gifts for Christmas. Circle Number 5 from Mooresville gave us a Philco radio and record player combination. We love to listen to “Lets Pretend” on Saturdays and some other pro- grams. Circle Number 2 from Morgan- ton gave us $5.00 to buy records and we have just about everything we want now. The Women of the Church at West End gave each of us $1.00. With that money added to what we already had, it made just enough for Marie MeNeill, Ber- nice Kuykendall, Virginia Baucom, and Addie McEwen to buy rain- coats; Alma Wright a pretty green corduroy jacket, and others house- coats, kerchiefs, and other things we wanted. Our friend, Mr. Stowe from Bel- mont, came up the night before Christmas and brought his movie projector and showed us some Christmas films. Also he brought us skates and lots of toys, fruits, nuts, and candy. ; Virginia Laton of Laurel Springs has come to be with us. She makes us a complete family. She is ten years old and is in the fifth grade. We are very fond of her and hope she likes being with us. Dave Rudinoff came to Barium Sunday to play his violin. Among the pieces he played were “Clara De Lune,” “Ah Sweet Mystery of Life,” “Peasant Dance,” and “Fid- dling the Fiddle,” a piece he wrote, Besides the songs he told us many interesting things about his life. Look for us next month. — The Bean Stringers ANNIE LOUISE Hello Friends, We didn’t get any news about our cottage in the paper last month, but we little girls had a wonder- ful Christmas and Santa was very good to us. Recently we have had the pleas- ure of attending three very good movies, Miss Grant Takes Rich- mond”, “The Challenge to Lassie”, and “Holliday Affair”. We especial- ly like “The Challenge to Lassie”, since all of us like dogs so much. The basketball games are in full blast now, and though all of us are not interested in basketball at the present, we older ones get a big kick out of watching the games. We always look forward to the Statesville games, because our ma- tron is from Statesville and hav- ing two big sisters who are also very interested in basketball, she really gets “kided” about who she is going to yell for. What a house we do live in when Barium gets beat! We can hardly step our foot in the house when Barium does get beat. Two of our little girls at our house had the chicken pox. They had “specks” all over them; but they have recovered now, and are as healthy as they ever were. It has been said that the robin is the first sign of spring. Here at Barium we have had very little cold weather; and the flowers are coming out all over the campus. We have been down in the woods a number of times this month to plant flowers so that the play woods will look as pretty as the rest of the campus. Our report cards have come out for the third time this year, and five of our little girls made the honor roll. We surely are happy because they made it, but we hope a lot more of us will get on next month. It’s very hard to tell exactly what children are thinking about. However, the other day one of our big sisters had an interesting ex- perience with little Virginia Dare Lane. At lunch Virginia and Clara were talking, and Virginia said; “Clara, did you like what you got for Christmas?” Before Clara could answer, Virginia began nam- ing out all the things she had re- ceived for Christmas. Before Clara could hardly catch her breath, Vir- ginia asked, “Clara, do you have any money to take to camp? I do, I have five pennies!” All of us who were at the table began laughing, but little Virginia turned “red,” and laughed too. Here is hoping she will slow down until we catch up. A lot of our friends have been to see us, and we are always glad to see them. We surely hope you all will be with us again next month. Until then. — The A. L. C. Girls. Father - Son Banquet (Continued From Page One) Scoutmaster” - Edgar Guest, read by Dr. Wallace S. Hoffman. The principal address of the eve- ning was delivered by Charles W. Brown, head of the Charlotte of- fice of the Federal Bureau of In- vestigation. After praising the Boy Scout movement and putting it along with the Sunday School as a pre- vention of crime and juvenile de- linquency, Mr. Brown told the boys something about finger printing, saying that there were 113,000,000 sets on file in Washington, divided into the Civil Identification File and the Criminal File of which there was from eight to nine mil- lion. The boys were also thrilled with Mr. Brown’s account of the num- erous bank robberies which oc- curred soon after he took charge of the Charlotte office and that all the robbers had been arrested. The question in the minds of the boys as to how one got to be a member of the F. B. I. Mr. Brown answered that by saying that a man had to be a college graduate with a degree in law or accounting. He has to be a member of the bar or a certified public accountant. After examination and investiga- tion he receives further training at Quantico, Va. That after he joins the F. B. I. he is still con- tinually in training. Plates were set for over three hundred and all enjoyed the fel- lowship and the inspiring program. The Background (Continued From Page One) Mr. and Mrs. Arrowood met the guests at the door and Mr. and Mrs. Sides greeted them as they entered the living-room where Miss Rebekah Carpenter introduced them to the superintendent and he in turn sent them down the line. Mrs. Lowrance and Mrs. Kyles were at the punch table and Miss Mary Ann Schepman was at the piano. I tell you it is hard to beat these Women of the Church when they get their heads set to do something. Just like those in Valdese who planned a lovely evening for us as we were leaving there, so the wo- men here gave this fine reception for us as we began our life at Ba- rium, O ves, they arranged further for the photographer to be present and the flashlight bulbs were pop- ping. And then later toward the end of the evening they held kan- garoo court, or that which was similar to it. They turned the sofa out from the wall and seated the McClure children on it and placed Mrs. McClure and the old man back of it and gathered around to watch that which was about to happen. Mr. Ralph Spencer, the photographer, got out in front and everybody else at Barium, it seem- ed to me, gathered around and had suggestions to make about the type of pose to assume and the expression to get on your face. Some wanted a three-ouarter grin and some wanted one of full length, others suggested that we use the push-button style. We squinted and twisted and posed and straightened end unstraightened until finally the bulb flashed and the results of this appeared in the papers, We thought you would like a different pose, so that is why we use a dif- ferent one in this paper. So that, dear folk and gentle readers, is the background of the picture that has been appearing in other papers, and we are doing as has been the custom since the Garden of Eden, blaming it on the women. Rubinoff Gives (Continued From Page One) The camera was not big enough to include them all, but somewhere in this issue you will find a sample of what did get into the picture.

MARCH 1950 NO. 5 Railroad Station Takes A Trip A landmark as familiar as the railroad station has been to every one who has been to Barium Springs must not pass withiout some due recognition, The ,rail- road company no longer has need for a depot or freight station at Barium and they have, therefore, ordered the _ building be razed. Through the efforts of the former superintendent, Joseph B. John- ston, this building was secured for Barium Springs, but it is neces- sary to remove it from the railroad property. Within a few weeks the moving crews with their trucks, jacks and rollers will be putting the skids under the railroad station, removing it from its regular site. No longer to stand in the dignified place of a railroad station and serve the public, this building takes up its new service on the campus as an auxiliary building. No passenger or freight service will be inconvenienced by this re- moval, for that had long since ceased to be a part of the railroad service to this community. For many years the railroad station has been used as a post office building. Through an agreement with the company the postmaster received and dispatched the mail from there, but now it will be necessary to provide other quar- ters for the housing of the post office. Many of the former students at Barium will cherish the fond mem- ories of approaching the campus from the Mooresville direction and seeing always there this little gray building with its funny-shaped roof, noting that Barium Springs was near at hand. In the earlier days it was quite an occasion to see the train come through and stop at the railroad station. As one alumnus of the institution has said, “It used to be the highlight of the day to go down to the depot and see the train come in and leave again.” Life in those days was not as rapid as it is now and there were no buses and automobiles to give easy transportation in and out from Barium. The orders of the railroad com- pany are that the building shall be removed and the grounds shall be made clean and satisfactory to those supervising the moving, And so, for those who come and go through this area, there will be no remains to remind one that once there stood a building which held an important place in the life of (Continued On Page Three) Alumni Hang Picture In the Dining Room In the dining hall we proudly display the many tokens of our athletic prowess. There, too, hang plaques honoring those who have achieved in other fields of endeavor. Recently added to this groupis - not another trophy, not another plaque, but - the picture of that one to whom must be given much of the credit for any worthwhile achievement of ours, - Mr. Joseph B. Johnston. In this hall he ate with us often, laughed with us, held us spell-bound with interest, or awe, as he talked to us on Sun- day mornings. We don’t need a reminder of him, but, especially during these inter- vals when he is not here in person, it’s good to have this speaking likeness.

E. Smith and Miss Louise Campbell, have made in the sewing room dur- ing the month of February. The little girls’ eyes danced with glee as each pointed out her new dress hanging on the wall. The whole wall of the sewing room was a riot of color with the new dresses of yellow, blue, pink, lavender, and green, checks and plaids, stripes and floral designs. These dresses had been made from pique, Indian Head, prints and gaberdines. The question arose as to how they made so many of them so pretty and all so different and how the patterns were chosen. The director of the sewing room explained that when a child needs a dress she comes to the sewing room and takes the catalogs and magazines and looks through them until she finds the particular style that she likes. So for many hours they sit around the table with Siegel’s, Sears, McCall’s, and Simplicity, studying the dif- ferent children’s clothes until they have decided upon the pattern they want to use. When this pattern has been chosen then the child has a (Continued On Page Three) Barium Girls Win Basketball Crown On Friday night, March 38rd, the Barium Sextette met the girls team from Albemarle in what was the game of the season, for only that game stood between them and the championship. Albemarle had been beaten only one time and that by the Barium Springs team at Albemarle, and now face to face it was either championship or Co- championship. The teams took the court and went into heavy action immediately. Through the excel- lent work of the guards the for- wards from Albemarle were held to a low score and through the magnificent work of the forwards of Barium the score for the home team was rolled high with Frances Stricklin scoring over 50 points, the final outcome was 76-39 in favor of Barium, and this gave Barium a clean sheet for the season’s cam- paign. They had won 16 straights, losing none. The competition in the South Piedmont Conference has_ been strong, and the following schedule with the scores given will show the games played.

Backums, and No-fudgin’ ” All across the campus can be heard the cries of anyies, backings, vencha roundance, dubs, and thribs. As the springtime comes, the small boy’s mind turns to thoughts of marbles and pockets are bulging and jangling with marbles as the boys go up and down the walks. Dr. Joseph S. Hiatt, superinten- dent of the Chatham Memorial Hos- pital in Elkin, has been kind enough year after year to send marbles to the boys. The other day we received a shipment of 2,000. These have been turned over to the children and they are making use of them on the campus. At almost every bare spot there is a circle drawn for the game. The housemothers know very well that the marble season is on because the knees of the pants give evidence of having been used for something other than prayer; and more than that, they give evidence of knees going through. But that is a part of a boy’s life, and it makes for a happy life. It is good to have the marbles: it is good to have the boys, and it is good to have them together, so let the marble cries ring out.

CHURCH & CAMPUS By REv. CHARLES H. SIDES Should the reader be somewhat amazed at discovering this title in a column usually reserved for a sermon, his amazement might be justified. So perhaps a word of explanation is due, We have felt that it might be well from time to time in this section of the Messen- r to give our readers a little further insight into some of the activities connected with Little Joe’s Church. Instead of the sermon this month we will report to you on the Boy Scout Troop jointly sponsored by the church and the home here. We have a troop now consisting of twenty-four boys varying in ages from eleven to seventeen, and made up of boys from Jennie Gilmer Cottage and the Quads. The week- ly troop meeting is held on Thurs- day evening at 7:00 o’clock. In that group are boys who have just en- tered scouting and are trying to pass their Tenderfoot requirements so that they may be full-fledged scouts, and others who are advanc- ing to higher and higher ranks. Two boys, Carl Spicer and Frank- lin Lentz, are ready to become Star Scouts with only the Life rank then standing between them and the highly-coveted Eagle rank. It has been several years since Ba- rium had an Eagle Scout and we are counting on these boys and others a little behind them to reach that final goal. There are of course advantages and disadvantages to attempting a scouting program at Barium. The boys are all nearby and there is no problem of transportation to the weekly meetings. But the outsider would hardly realize how fully the time is occupied here, so that the main problem becomes finding a time when the boys and the Scout- master can get together for the weekly meetings. And when the Scoutmaster is also the pastor, as is true here, available time for such a meeting is further limited. The summer is vacation time, of course, and participation in Scout Camps is hardly possible. How- ever, with these drawbacks, our Scout Troop remains strong and the boys are giving it a very act- ive interest. Since the boys often feel, and rightly so, that Scouting should give more outdoor experience, the Scoutmaster suggested recently a track and athletic meet to be held on successive Saturdays. It was eagerly accepted by all the Scouts, and last Saturday the first events were run off. As we have boys ranging in weight from around eighty to one hundred fifty pounds it was decided to divide into two weight groups and give a prize to the winner in each group along with a prize to the winning patrol. Fifteen events were scheduled in- cluding broad jump, high jump, dashes, runs, push-ups, baseball and football throws, rope climb, Seout Pace, and others. The boys under one hundred pounds took part in the running broad jump, the standing broad jump, the running high jump, and the standing high jump last Sat- urday. Now the winning records won’t push any world records, of course, but for boys around five feet tall or under they were very good. Marvin Garris almost sprout- ed wings to jump twelve feet and six inches to win that event by al- most two feet over his nearest competitor. The other three events were won by David Thomas as he proved himself a good little track performer in the standing broad jump, the running high jump, and the standing high jump. You just should have seen the competition in the high jump. Form didn’t en- ter in too much as the boys used every style to get over that cross bar. And Johnny Collins thrilled the crowd every time diving over the bar and landing, it looked like, on the point of his chin. It will take several more Satur- days to complete this meet for both weight groups and perhaps in another Messenger we can report the final results. It has been a number of years since Barium had a track team, but from the looks of some of these boys we could have a team, and a cracking good one, in a few years. Campus News WOMANS’ BUILDING We are so excited, we have to tell ou the news of our girls win- ning the South Peidmont Confer- ence first. Friday night we played our last game and won 76-39. Our eyes and minds are now turned toward the tournament being held at States- ville’s new gym. “Here’s wishing you the best of luck, Big Teams.” We hear Mr. and Mrs. Johnston are going to be here during the Jr, Tournament starting the fif- teenth, We can’t wait until the time rolls around to see Pop John- ston again. We are inviting you to come and see him too. We would like to take this time to thank the Barium Alumni for the grand picture they gave us of Mr. Johnston to put in our dining room, where we may see it every day three times a day. “Thanks again.” Don’t think you are coming near a grave yard, when you come near the white posts being put up to keep the cars off the grass, so we can improve the looks of our cam- pus grounds. Lets all help and see what we can do. We will have to sign off and see you next month at the same time, same station, and also saying you are more than welcome to attend the Jr. Tournament, opening March 15, lasting for one week. — See you then, Marie Andrews LEES We have been enjoying the basketball games. We have the Junior Tournament next week and we will see some of the games. Just now we are having fun play- ing marbles, so if you pass by and see us around a circle that is what we are playing. Ferrell sure can win a lot of your marbles, Ten of our boys have recited the Childs Catechism and some of the others are trying hard to recite it. We have been trying to keep the campus clean, the March winds keep the paper flying. We got <= Sort cards the other day and most of us did better this time. ’ We have been working in our flowers, we have had flowers blooming all winter. The pansies are blooming now. : i We are enjoying the stories in the Christian ‘Observer. One of our friends in Mooresville gave it to us Christmas. We all like Mr. McClure and his family. Will let you hear from.us next month, — Lees boys BABY COTTAGE Well, Well here comes Baby Cottage, here comes Baby Cottage, right down Baby Cottage lane into the Infirmary with those right mean old things they call old bumps meaning chicken pox, it is chicken pox period, one to three a day going down with them. All but eleven out of 21 in the Baby Cottage jis down there now. What makes it so bad is they had begun taking out tonsils and that will have to stop now. One little boy made this state- ment to his house mother when he came back from a check up. She asked him why he did not come back with Miss Carpenter and with a great big sigh said, “Well I had not been doctored enough,” so per- haps they will get doctored enough before this plague is over. We hope so. Well we don’t have any news only we all keep busy playing. We have a new substitute mat- ron, Miss Winnie Furgerson, and we like her so much. Just wish she would stay all the time. We hope we will get to go to a show next week as we have not been but one time since Christmas. We sure hope to see Gene Autry if he comes to Statesville. We lis- ten to him over the radio and love to dress up in our suits and play. We would be glad if he would come to see us. We have had to play indoors so much lately because it has been so cold. We willbe glad when summer time comes and our flower garden gets in full bloom. Our Johnquills have been very pretty and our housemothers have bought lots of rose bushes and we hope they will all bloom this year. We are looking forward to Eas- ter, we have such a big time. I guess we will have to stop so we'll say so long. We will be seeing you, — Baby Cottage QUADS Basketball season is almost over now. We have only one game to play and then the tournament. We are all hoping to win the tourna- ment. We have our last game with Albemarle here, Our girls have won all their games, the boys have won 8 and lost 7. One of our boys had his appen- dix taken out about a week ago. Week after next we are going to have a Junior varsity basket- ball tournament here. We are go- ing to enter a tournament at States- ville next week. Good luck boys and girls. We have a large portrait of Mr. Johnston in our dining room. Last Sunday there was a big fire over in the woods, it almost got in our orchard. The best of luck to all our read- ers until next time. — Your ace reporter, Fairley Morgan HOWARD We had fifteen girls to make the honor roll this time. They were Laura Jane Craig, Florrie Garris, Alma Wright, Evelyn Cox, Marie MeNeill, Virginia Bucom, Vir- ginia Lafon, Elizabeth Byrd, Jean Carol Harrison, Bernice Kuyken- dall, Shelby McEwen, Jewel Mc- Farland, Remona Blake, Sylvia Wells, and Peggy Jean Sellers. We have worked hard the past six weeks and nearly every girl made a better grade than usual. We went to the picture show and saw “Dear Wife.” It sure was good, Mrs. Smith and Miss Campbell are making us some pretty dresses at the sewing room. We are so pleased with them. Some of us are getting new wind breakers for springs. Look for us next month. — Howard Cottage Girls ANNIE LOUISE Although Valentine has come and gone, we here at A. L. C. are sure that “Cupid” is still flying around shooting people with his arrows. We had a wonderful Valentine’s day at school as well as here at the cottage. We would like to thank Mrs. Laura M. Young of High Point, for sending us those lovely cut-out Valentines. Our report cards have come out once again, and about five or six of our little girls made the honor roll. Continue the good work girls and in the future all of us will be as proud of you then as we are now. Bv the way! we have started work on our flower garden, and we surely hope that with all the work that goes into the making of it, we will have some beautiful flowers to show for our hard toil. Cross your fingers for us. The big senior tournament that goes on up here at Barium is over with and all of us little girls are looking forward to the Junior tour- nament because we get to go to some of the afternoon games. Our two big sisters worked over at the tournaments this past time. Clara kept seore and looked at all the “cute ‘boy'’s,” while Bonnie worked in the refreshment stand and got “fatter” than she already is. All of us little girls are proud of our varsity basketball teams, especially the girls. The girls won the South Peidmont Conference, winning all sixteen games. We just hope that they will do as well next year. The sewing room has been aw- fully busy making us some pretty new dresses. We are saving one of our dresses for Easter. Maybe if the Easter Bunny sees us in one of our dresses he will leave more eggs for us to gather. We have run short of news, so until next month, when things are popping over again, be good! — The A. L. C. Girls RARIUM GIRLS WIN (Continued From Page One) son on the hardwood courts for the Barium girls. By the way, do you see the Church in the picture. . look again and in case you missed it let me point it out in this fashion, that while these young ladies spent only nine weeks winning the championship yet the Church spent 131 years of care in getting ready for this winning. Add together the total time that these girls have spent at Barium and you will ar- rive at the amazing figure of 181 years. Figuring a little further, you can see that these 181 years give 47,815 days of care. In other words, the Presbyterians of the Church have afforded 47,815 days of care for this championship. Those of us close at hand will see that it is worth it and worth every day that has been provided. The girls here in their joy over winning the championship will also remember the great host of folks who have had a share in it too. Hats off to the champions, and to all those who have had a hand in it making these champions at Barium Springs. Glee Club News The Barium Glee Club is now busy getting ready for the “An- nual Spring Tour.” Actually, this “tour” consists of visits to a few of the nearby churches; usually for a short concert of sacred music given at the Sunday evening ser- vice, If any pastor - or choir director is interested in having the Glee Club give a thirty minute program in the church on Sunday evening, or at some other time, please write Wm. A. Hethcox, Principal, or Mrs. Lee Spencer, music direc- tor. If it can be arranged the in- vitation will be accepted. Of course, the time from now until the close of school is short, and is a very busy time; so the number of invi- tations which can be accepted is limited. If you do invite the Glee Club, don’t expect too much, as this is strictly an amateur group. A visit to your church, however, is a valuable experience for the members of the Glee Club, and it gives you a chance to meet and to know some of your children at Barium Springs.

RAILROAD STATION (Continued From Page One) Barium. All of those who have known the building and seen it in use will always remember arriving there by train or the leaving of Ba- rium or sitting on the edge of the railroad station and watching the trains roll in and out. Time moves on and the railroad station moves on, and we assume that this is progress. SENIOR GIRLS MAKE (Continued From Page One) right to look at the material which is in store, and from the material that has been placed on the shelves in large bolts she makes her choice. Then under the direction of Mrs. Smith and Miss Campbell the senior girls make the dress a reality. The electric sewing machines hum steadily through the day with the girls coming to the room as soon as school is out. The particular feature for the month of February has been the dresses and there were 25 or 30 hanging on the wall ready to go to the cottages to make the little girls happy and pretty as they wear them. This is a part of what clothing money does. It manifest to the children here the love of the church people as they carry to their rooms the beautiful, lovely new dresses which have been provided for them through the gift of some person or persons who love the Church and Jesus Christ and children.

Child Money Sent For ............-.------- PROT ATUES occccccicssces con sscuiisestiee ee ceshsceese RTRAEOEL, - 5 anticceeensseiccuesesevenotans Mailing Information On page three of this issue of the Messenger will be seen two blanks affording information on sending gifts to Barium Springs. One is the memorial gift where- in in the memory of someone who has died a gift is sent to Barium Springs to be used in the building of a new church. Many people are using this blank already and they find it a great help in sending con- tributions to Barium for the church. Of Course, a contribution sent in without the blank and marked is credited to the church fund any- way, but the blank is used and printed in order to give something to fill out easily and also to re- mind the people that such an ave- nue is open to them as a means of remembering loved ones and friends. The second blank will note that we have two persons who receive money and gifts or packages at Barium Springs. One of these is Miss Andrews and the other is Mr. Arrowood. So, in order to keep the blood pressure equally balanced in the finance department, it would be of some help to us if the blank could be used and the different items sent to the proper persons. Now, if you are the kind of per- son who does not like to be reg- imented and does not care to use blanks or certificates or anything of the sort, then you are most cor- dially invited to send yours as you see fit. Just simply mark it Barium Springs and we will get it here and credit it to the proper person and proper source. But if you would like for Miss Andrews to be receiv- ing some mail and Mr. Arrowood to be receiving some mail address- ed to him, then you may fill out the blank and address your gifts to the proper person. It would be a real help to the finance department to have the gifts properly marked and labeled and sent to the one who will even- tually receive them and make re- cognition of the gifts. So, as we ask for help in this department, we also express appreciation for the fine spirit of cooperation which prevails among all the Churches and express our gratitude for the gifts that come to the Home.

Across the desk at Barium Springs come let- ters of every description, those from the big business firms, those from the Sunday Schools, those from the church treasurers, those from individuals, from children and from every source. The other morning the opener was run through the letter that gave evi- dence of having come from an el- derly person. As the page unfolded it was clearly manifest that the hand which had written it was a bit shaky by reason of age and also that the spirit of the writer had lived long in the presence of Jesus Christ. Because this letter set our heart on fire and because it is typical of So many, many letters that come to Barium Springs and because it manifests the true relationship of Christians in North Carolina to this Home, we print (with the per- mission of the writer) this letter in the Messenger with a portion of the reply, _ “Dear Friends: I am send- ing you another comfort to the boys that sends me the Messenger. A few years ago I sent you one but I suspect that is worn out. This is not so fine, but it will keep you warm. I want- ed to send it long ago, but (Continued On Page Two) One To A Family To Those Desiring It The purpose of the Barium Mes- senger is to send to every Presby- terian home in North| Carolina the news of what the people of North Carolina are doing for boys and girls at Barium Springs, and to re- port the news of the campus. Our mailing list carries now some- where between 25 and 30 thousand names. Some of these should be removed, some of these should have the addresses corrected, some of these are duplications and some homes receive more than one copy. The editor and printer of The Messenger are very anxious to have every Presbyterian home re- ceive a copy without charge, and also they are anxious for every other person who is interested in Barium Springs and who wishes to have a copy to have one. So if you read this column and know of any- where you can help us correct our mailing list or add a new name to our mailing list, please drop a postal card to the Barium Messen- ger or to Barium Springs, or just address it anyway so it gets to Barium Springs, and we will see that your name goes on the mail- ing list and will send the Messen- ger to you. The folk here would like very much to know what you think of the paper, and you are hereby ii- vited to send in your criticism. If you have something on your chest and you want to get it off send it on over: we have enough troubles here so that a few more would not make a great deal of difference, so send us good suggestions or fuss at us, or do whatever you wish as long as you read the paper and keep us in your heart and prayers.

A. Cannon, with the chairmen of the various sub-committees making up the membership present. The business of the day was largely exploratory in setting forth policies and studying existing re- lationships. The biggest single transaction was that taken subse- quent to the report of the commit- tee on Buildings and Grounds. For more than a year this committee has been securing information and getting bids on the new boiler for the heating system. It was report- ed that the building itself would have to be enlarged and that the new boiler necessary for the cam- pus would be one of 200 h. p. with a new stoker attachment. The Committee was authorized to let the contract for the enlarging of the building and the installation of the boiler. In connection with this it was also decided to make a study of the total steam line on the campus with a view to making new installations at the expan- sion joints, thus concerving steam and making more effective the carrying of steam to the back side of the campus. The regular meeting of the Board of Regents will be held in May and at that time some special committees appointed to make studies will report to the Board. Joseph B. Johnston Is “Assistant Surgeon” The announcement has_ been made recently that Mr. Jospeh B. Johnston, formerly superintendent of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home, will be associated with Dr. Davis in the work of Davis Hos- pital in Statesville, N. C. Mr. Johnston, acting as toastmaster at the annual basketball banquet at Barium Springs, announced in a facetious manner that he was the “assistant surgeon” at Davis Hospital and that anyone wishing an operation should just come on up and describe it and he would see that it was done or do it himself. Mr. and Mrs. Johnston are liv- ing in the Hospital Apartments on Cherry Street near the hospi- tal, After spending about eight weeks in Florida and South Car- olina visiting friends and rela- tives, drinking fruit juice and enjoying southern sunshine, Mr. and Mrs. Johnston returned to Charlotte in time to see some of the Junior Tournament at Barium Springs. They then took some of their household things out of storage at Barium and set up housekeeping in Statesville. While the exact nature of Mr. Johnston’s new position has not been revealed, it is generally un- derstood that he will be associated with Dr. Davis in the business re- lationship of the hospital and in any other fashion that these two may deem wise. One thing that will certainly be a portion of Mr. Johnston’s life, whether it is a part of his job or not, will be looking after the children from Barium Springs when they go to the Davis Hospital.

Campus News WOMANS’ BUILDING Hi there, First lets wish every one a Happy Easter. Everyone is getting their new outfits ready, but lets not think this wonderful day is only a time to dress up in your Sunday best, but a great day we should all remember. The Junior class is as busy as bees, getting every thing ready for the Junior-Senior banquet which will take place April 21. We were very glad to have some of our friends from Thomas- boro with us for supper and then our church worship Sunday, April 2. Come again folks. Did I hear some one speaking of operations? Well two of we girls are just now recupeerating from an appendictomy. Mae Hil- lard is already up and around as strong as ever, and Marie An- drews is following close behind. Our basketball banquet was a grand occasion although we did not have the B sweaters to present to the Varsity girls who won the conference and tournament which consists of nineteen straight vic- tories. Louise Campbell was chosen most valuable, Lorene Hall cap- tain, and Frances Stricklin all- state. “Congratulations girls.” We are glad to have Mrs. Wil- liams and daughter visit us, here’s hoping they enjoy staying here as much as we enjoy having them. Well we will sign off until next month same time. Chief Editor, Marie Andrews BABY COTTAGE Well if our guess is right it is time again to let all our good friends know what we are doing here in the Baby Cottage so here we go. First let us warn you all, if you should see lots of little ducklins trying to wade and paddle their way to and from the dining room, please don’t get frightened, for it is only us children trying to wade through the mud puddles. We have to, as we don’t have a cement walk, We are happy to say we are all well from chicken pox, only two are out now with! colds and sore throats. Easter is almost here and we are working on baskets in Kinder- garten and hope to have a big egg hunt. We hope we get to see Gene Autry if he comes to Statesville, Basketball Banquet For Barium Teams Our annual basketball banquet was held on Friday night, March 24th, at six o’clock with about 200 people in attendance. We had a good supper planned around steak and French fried potatoes, with a few invited guests to help keep the homefolks straight. Mr. J. B. Johnston was in grand form and did the honors as the genial toastmaster. He reviewed basketball at Barium Springs for the past years and made some predictions about the future that were most enjoyable and quite inspiring. k The varsity girls voted Louise Campbell the most valuable mem- ber of the team and this honor was also won by Paul Barnes on the boys team. The following varsity girls were presented letters by Miss Rebekah Carpenter: Lorene Hall, Elsie Vest, Peggy Neel, Ma- rie Andrews, Rae Powell, Carolyn Wicker, Frances Stricklin, Louise Campbell, Ann Willcox. The letters were presented to the varsity boys by Reverend C. H. Sides, as follows: Paul Barnes, Buddy Maples, Donald Mitchell, Terrell Hall, Mack Wicker, Fred Feimster, Bobby Whiting, Char- les Stevens. The following junior girls were presented letters by Mrs. Melba McLuen: Ruth Barkley, Helen Barnes, Helen Baucom, Hilda Don- aldson, Jane Feimster, Pattie In- man, Gloria Williams, Jackie Por- terfield, Margaret Honkins, Jackie Kuykendall, Mae Hillard, Retha Bass, Edna McGhee, Florence An- drews, Carol Jean Andrews, Peggy Byrd, Delores Ramsey, Annie Ruth! Church, Beth Jackins, Mary Jane Andrews. The following junior boys were presented letters by Arthur Sig- mon as follows: Paul Dellinger, Jerry Williams, Alfred Williams, Dean Upton, Palmer Willcox, Billy Black, Cromer Curtis, Jimmy Johnson, Jay Terry, Ennis Black- burn, Everett Vest, Joe Barkley, Calvin Burleson, Bobby McMan- nen, Archie McMannen, Donald Moore. and also go to his show. We don’t have any news to write. School will soon be out then vacations will start. Camp also will open up, and that long moun- tain trip in the bus taking our lunch with us and also getting those big red juicy water melons like we did last year. Yum, Yum, they were so good, Our house mothers are working very hard diging grass, resetting plants, and planting seeds in our rainbow garden so we are hoping to have the prettiest garden ever this time. Wishing every body a very Hap- py Easter, we are all saying so- long. — Baby Cottage RUMPLE HALL Hello Everybody, We had thirty five visitors from Thomasboro Presbyterian Church Sunday. The Pioneers showed them around the campus. After we got through showing them around we had supper in the dinning room. After supper we went to church and they had the program which we enjoyed very much. We hope they will come again soon. Now that Spring is in the air we are having many visitors. The girls and boys are playing softball, house mothers and girls are working in their flowers gar- dens, Lovely Spring dresses in the sewing room. Robins and bluebirds everywhere, surely Spring is here. The fourth grade gave a very interesting program last Friday, every one enjoyed it very much. The first grade will give their program next Friday. I’m sure we will enjoy it. We are looking for- ward to hearing their rhythm band May Birthdays The following boys and girls have birthdays in May. Would you like to send them a card. 1—Elmina Johnson, Shirley Can- non, 3—Bobby Thompson. 4—Neil Shaw, Peyton Miller, Peggy Privett. 6—Lillian Baucom, Fairley Mor- gan, Melvin Sanders. 8—Kathryn Joyce Ferrell, Peggy Collins. 11—Mary Frances Price. 12—Pamela Fair, Archie McMan- nen. 183—Rae Powell, Louise Surles. 14—James Wheeler. 15—Janet Woodall, Johnny Hud- gins. 16—Melva Powell. 17—Peggy Plyler. é 19—Linda Byrd, Lois Dellinger. 20—Barbara’ Bradshaw, Pattie Inman, 22—-Franklin Lentz. 26—Buddy Cochran. 28—Ethel Brotherton. Two Letters ‘Tell (Continued From Page One) could not get it started. I am not so young any more and some times I don’t walk very good and have to wait for someone to take me to town. I don’t think I will make any more. I enjoy your paper and | thank you. I belong to the Presbyter- ian Church at - , ma & I do not get there very often. I like our minister very much. My husband don’t like to drive much any more. He will soon be 177 years old. He drives to work but that is not far. I hope you will get this before thie weather gets hot, May the [ord bless and take care of you. With love to al, ” “Dear Mrs. — : I have received your letter and I want to thank you for the comfort which you have made and sent to us. I have suc- ceeded Mr. Johnston as the su- perintendent of the Home here at Barium Springs and one of the reasons why I came here was the fact that Barium is loved and prayed for and worked for by people all over the Synod of North Carolina. When I read your letter this morning my heart was strangely warmed as I thought about your Jove for Jesus Christ which eaused you to do the lovely thing that you have done in making and sending comforts to this place. The work of yur fingers, the thoughts of your mind, and the prayers of your heart help to strengthen and keep us in the work with and for chil- dren in the name of Jesus Christ. Let me thank you for all of your love and prayers for us, and ask of you that, as your physical energy diminishes and you may be unable to con- tinue some of the things you have been doing, you continue to remember us in prayer, and remember also that we love you for what you are doing for us and trust that we may be good stewards of all that is sent to us.” again which they have every year. Everyone enjoyed seeing Gene Autry in “Mule Train” last Satur- day, most everyone went to see it. We have enjoyed our winter gardens this winter. We have had sultana, begonias, African violets and geraniums in bloom al! winter. Now we are ready to plant them on the outside. —Shirley Ann Cannon. Mid-Piedmont Tournaments The nineteenth Annual Mid- Piedmont Basketball Tournament was reeled off at Barium Springs from February 15th through the 20th. Forty-five teams from seven counties in the Piedmont section of North Carolina participated. Forty-three games ‘yere played during the five-day period and these were some of the best games played in the whole State during the year. We have fine basketball teams in this section and the best teams enter our tournament. Union Grove and Cool Spring met in the finals in the girls di- vision, with Cool Spring winning by 74-71. Scotts nosed out Celeste Henkel in an over-time game in the boys. division by a _ three- point margin 36-33. The following teams were re- presented in both girls’ and boys’ divisions: Matthews, Bain, Oak- hurst, Thomasboro, Paw Creek, Berryhill, Long Creek, Hunters- ville, Cornelius, and Davidson from Mecklenburg County; Rock Springs from Lincoln County; Stanley from Gaston; Sherrills Ford and Oxford from Catawba; Hiddenite from Alexander; Lan- dis from Rowan; Troutman, Ce- leste Henkel, Scotts, Union Grove, Harmony, Cool Spring, and Braw- ley from Iredell. Brawley was en- tered only in the girls’ division. Jo Ann Eller of Landis won the foul shooting contest by making 20 out of 25 attempts. Ted Garner was high for the boys with 24 out of 25. He missed number 13. Long Creek won the trophy for having the best dressed girls’ team. We had good crowds during the week with over-flow crowds for the semi-finals and the finals. It would be nice to have an adequate gymnasium to take care of these events, The Junior Mid-Piedmont Joseph B. Johnston (Continued From Page One) tire staff of the Davis Hospital have rendered service year after year to the children of the Home at Barium Springs. Now that Mr. Johnston is there on that staff, you may be sure that when a Ba- rium child enters the hospital he will be one of the first ones in the room and will see that that child is looked after and cheered up while he is a patient. WHAT CHRISTIANITY IS An eminent clergyman once de- fined Christianity as follows: In the home it is kindness. In business it is honesty. In society it is courtesy. 'n work is is fairness. Toward the unfortunate it is pity. Toward the weak it is help. Toward the wicked is is resis- tance. Toward the strong it is trust. Toward the penitent it is forgive- ness. Toward the fortunate it is con- gratulation. Toward God it is reverence and love. WORKERS’ CONFERENCE HELD AT THORNWELL The forty-fifth annual meeting of Southeastern Conference work- ers in children’s institutions was held in Clinton, South Carolina on March 28th and 29th. Thornwell Orphanage was the host and pro- vided lodging within the building- ings on the campus. The vice-president, Sam _ Ed. Bradley directed the Conference in the absence of the president, W. G. Mize. Representatives from Barium were Miss Rebekah Carpenter, case worker, Mrs. Foy Gresham, house- mother, and Reverend A. B. Mc- Clure, the Superintendent. Tournament was held one month later on March 14th through the 20th. Sixteen girls and sixteen boys teams played 46 games. The Junior Tournament has the double elimination feature and there is less pressure than is experienced during the varsity tournament. Twenty-four trophies are awarded which means that any team win- ning one game is entitled to a tro- phy. This has been a very popular tournament and we have more teams wishing to enter than we can accomodate each! year. The Mountain Orphanage won the title from Barium by winning the final game in the girls divisi-n by the score of 50-48. Statesville took top honors in the boys divi- sion by winning the final game with Barium 33-27, The boys and girls who played in this tournament will be the varsity stars of future years and the good play shown recently by the juniors gives every indication that we will continue to have the same fine caliber of varsity bas- ketball for years to come in this great Piedmont section of North Carolina. One To A Family (Continued From Page One) us cordially invite your coopera- tion and express to you our will- ingness to serve you through the means of this paper.

If some of us don’t snap out of it pretty soon now, we aren't going to be able to get much done in our flower garden and so forth. Speaking of flower gardens, we’ve been digging our fingers to the bone trying to make a few buds appear on those lonesome looking stems. Mavbe we'll get it done yet! : Have we told you lately about our most recent report cards? Well, folks, we’re ready to tell you just how proud we are of them! Eight of us little girls got on the honor roll and one big’ sister. So Many of us came so close to making the honor roll that we felt a little bit proud of ourselves. You can’t expect too much from such small ones, but honestly we try. Next time, though, we’re going to try a wee bit harder, and bring that eight up to at least sixteen. Last month we didn’t get to tell you what we did to celebrate EFas- ter. Rest assured that we all twenty-six had a wonderful time trving to find some Easter eggs. One time we almost gave up com- pletely. Those eggs looked almost the same color as the ground and leaves, and we just couldn’t find a few of them . It took the ones who hid them to find them, and even they were at the point of riving up. But as luck would have . not one single egg was lost. \fter we found all of them we down and ate as much as our tummies would hold without get- ting sick. Several of our little girls have had the measles and “boy” they really were spotted. But most of them are well and are back with us, just as happy as ever. School will be out in three weeks and we can hardly wait to get out for summer, Next time vou hear from us there will be lots to tell about our summer plans. Until next month, The A. L. C, Girls WOMANS BUILDING The time has come when we would like to pass our current events on to you. lirst we would like to say we certainly do appreciate the de- licious turkeys which the govern- ment gave us. Every one seemed to be loosening their belts Sun- day, wonder why? Another one of our girls was operated on the other day. Here’s hoping she will soon recover. “Best of luck, Hazel.” We are having quite a bit of sickness these days consisting of measles, chicken pox, and bad colds, One of our teachers, Miss Blakeney, whom we all thought a great deal of, died Friday night in the Lowrance Hospital in Moor- esville. She will long be remem- bered and may God be with her family and loved ones during this sad period of life.

Dr. Skeen from Mooresville was our speaker and he told us six ways to become a failure, Other guests were there, but we will not call all of their names, we will only say we en- joyed having them. The food was more than delicious and the dance was wonderful. The Virginia Hall Circle, Junior Senior girls and Miss Carpenter Went to the skating rink in Moor- esville and we can truely say we had a wonderful time. We only have three more weeks of school, and | think every one looks as though they can hardly wait. We are looking forward to hav- ing the Board of Regents meet with us on the ninth of this month. They are planning to stay a few days with us. We will say so long until the same time next month. — Marie Andrews Alumni News We would like to express our sympathy to the families of Guy Jackson who died on April 19th at the Guilford County Sanitor- ium and William H.

E. Price Elected Chairman For Coming Year The Regents of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home met in the regular Spring session at Barium Springs on Tuesday, May 9th, with thie Chairman, J. A. Cannon of Concord presiding. Through the reports of the var- ious committees the work of the Home was summarized and plans were made for the coming year. The Finance and Budget Commit- tee which had spent long hours the day and night preceding trying to fit the needs into the amount of money anticipated, finally con- cluded by reporting a budget of $236,838.00. It was explained that by simple arithmetic a budget could be deduced because the annual per capita cost is over $800.00 plus per child. Multiply that by the number of children in the Home for a year the budget can be easily arrived at. Special work for the summer was laid out in the report of the Buildings & Grounds Committee wherein Annie Louise Cottage was to receive the most attention. The wiring is old and dangerous in this building, so it will be necess- ary to completly rewire the whole building, to plaster and paint, and to generally improve so that the twenty-five little girls and their house mothers may be more com- fortably and safely housed. Other general repairs and up- keep were planned. The Committee in charge of buildings and grounds also report- ed that the new boiler was in and ready for installation, thus afford- ing the Home ample heating cap- acity for the entire campus. This heating system had been repaired and improved at the cost of ap- proximately $35,000.00. Upon report of the Nominating Committee, W. E. Price of Char- lotte was elected Chairman of the Board for the coming year and Mrs. H. S. Kirk of Winston-Salem was elected Secretary. A unanim- ous vote of appreciation for the excellent work of Mr. Cannon and Mrs. Coit Robinson, chairman and secretary respectively, was taken and words of appreciation spoken as these two retired from the Board. Definite plans for the church and the Activites Building were ap- proved and the work is under way. The church will be built by the memorial contributions from the people throughout the Sate and Southland. The Activities Building will necessarily come from the cap- ital funds. A subsequent issue of the Messenger will carry full in- formation concerning! the plans for the development on the cam- pus, and a separate story in this will give the financial picture for the year 1949—50. * * ae * * * * * * * THE MESSENGER TAKES " A VACATION * * Qwing to the fact that many of the staff and children will be away during the month of July, there will be no issue of The Messenger in the month of July.

Campus News ANNIE LOUISE Hello Friends, ; ne Here we are again, giving you our little bit of gossip and news from the little bit of cottage that we have left. What! No cottage ? Well, not exactly: We’re just get- ting our house done over in fine fashion, and in so doing, we’re hav- ing to move out. Luckily, though there is an apartment ajoining our house where we - yes, all sixteen of us, our housemother and two big sisters are living during the “reconstruction”. (We picked this word up from one of the big sis- ters.) Oh, happy day! Swimming has begun, and we are planning on go- ing in real soon. We have been watching with eager eyes to see just when the big sisters were go- ing to bring out the swim suits, and finally they have. (Yippee!) Many a sore toe or foot has been “painted” since we've started going barefooted. Every once in a while someone comes running up to the housemother or a big sister to tell them they just got stung, or they stumped their toe, or some other similar summer accident.

Printer Kyles Appreciates Cards Since the last copy of The Mes- senger cards and letters have come in from all over the State and from out of the State, too, bring- ing us information as to enable us to correct addresses and stop duplications where two _ papers have been going to the homes. Many of them have contained in- teresting items and many of them have contained facts about the mailing list which have enabled us to clear it up in spots at least. Mr. Kyles has expressed his ap- preciation for the kindness that have been afforded us in sending in corrections and for the patience that has been manifested on the part of those who have been re- cewing inecrrect mail or have been unable to receive the paper because of an incorrect mailing list. Keep up the good work and any time there is an error in the mailing list please notify us at Barium. Any time there is a change of address let us have it here, and in that way we will be able to keep the many thousands of names in order and keep the papers going directly to the place for which they have been printed. end the familiar reply we would like to quote for you:“Well, it’s your foot, you can stump it or get stung if you want to.” Unquote. But then there’s a sympathetic smile, and someone fetches the alcohol and “war paint.” Our school is finally out, as it (Continued On Page Two) Mr. Jos. B. Johnston Honored by Davidson Was Given Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws The Superintendent Emeritus, Mr. Jos. B. Johnston was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws by his Alma Mater, Dav- idson College at the recent com- mencement. His citation spoke of the fact that he had been a loyal Alumnus and Trustee of Davidson; that for many years he was superin- tendent of Presbyterian Orphans’ Home. That he had done a great deal to foster clean athletics and give young people an ideal of good sportsmanship; and that he was known and loved by hundreds of young people who looked on him as their father. Surely this is an honor well bestowed. July Birthdays Frederick Gillespie ............ 7-29-44 Tommy: JOVnO?

SPIRIT OF CHRIST By Rev. R. S. Arrowood Rom. 8:9 If any man have not the spirit of, Christ he is none of his. lere is a simple statement of essential ( tianity in words that are beautifully clear. There is a lot more to Christian faith than this; there are many preparatory steps of experience and faith be- fore one may come te this point. Paul has been leading up with them through more than seven chapters of this tremendous epistle when he comes out with this search- ing sentence, This epitomi of Christian experience, if any man have not the spirit of Christ he is none of his. That is if he does not have the spirit of Chrisit he does not belong to Christ. Here the first great interpreter of Christianity has given us a simple test of what it means to be a Christian, a simple test of how we may know we, or anyone else, is not a Christian. This is so simple that it is self evident. It is a spiritual axiom, An axiom is a self evident truth, something we would be hard put to it to prove. We just know it is so like one and one makes two. Here is where I think we ought te begin in our Christian thinking, begin with our relationship with Jesus Christ. That is where Paul would have us begin. We go through certain religious practices, we say our prayers we read our Bibles we attend church and that is well, We have certain forms and ceremonies we are baptized, we take com- munion. These things are means of grace. We accept a creed perhaps we recite a creed called the Apostles Creed, but after all, though I may give assent to these and many other points of doctrine which might be mentioned, the simple unfailing test is, do I have, do you have, the spirit of Chirst? Now what is the spirit of Christ? Well the spirit of Christ is so many sided so rich, so full, so beautiful, that we can’t miss knowing some- thing about the spirit of Christ, we cannot know all about it. But if we have read the gospels, if we have been around where Christ has been we know his spirit, first as we can look around us at the friends and neighbors, brethren and sisters in Christ Jesus in our own church and we know the spirit of each one as clearly as we know the tones of their voices, the form and features of their bodies or the way they walk. It might be a profitable med- itation what does Christs spirit mean to me? What do I think about when the spirit of Christ is men- tioned? Perhaps we visualize him, we personify him in a sainted mother, a beloved father, or a de- voted friend. If so what character- istie did we regard as Christ like? I would like to know your thoughts on that, May | share with you my thoughts on that and my joy with vou that we have not been left in the dark as to what is the spirit of Christ. It is the spirit of brotherhood. Jesus taught us to pray our father which art in heaven. He has taught us that the brother comes first before the worship. If we bring our eift and find our brother hath ought against u are first to } re led and then offer our ‘ Brotherhood a long way \ h Jesus. It cross »d socinl lines, he permitted a woman of ill fame to | } feet and bathe them with her tears and dry them with the hair of her hea He crossed nolitical lines, Zaccheus, I am tak- ine dinner with you today. He crossed wcial barriers, he must needs go through Samaria. I have often wondered if the master did not sm {rom these contacts. He who was so pure, from the caresses pure. He that loved the oppressed, from one who had been , traitor and a turncoat, who by fraud and false accusations had laid | jens on the poor; I wonder ht toward that one "¢ that had built a rival shrine to his Zion and had been in feud with Jews for generations. But the spirit of Jesus was higher and deeper and broader than any social strata or nation or creed or race. There was no littleness no perrowness in the spirit of Jesus Christ. Now this brotherliness did not expend itself in sweet sentiment. Jesus showed his brotherliness in service. | am among you as one who serveth. Symbolically he wash- ed the disciples feet which was the work of a servant. He taught, “He who would be great among you let him be as a servant.” Yes, the master who pushed a saw and drove a hammer; who fished on the sea of Galilee, and who lifted the fall- en, laid his hands upon the leprous, made clay of spittal and annointed blind eyes. He knew what it was to serve. So our first interpreter in that subline passage Phil. 2:5-11 “Have this mind in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the like- ness of men; and being found in fashion as a man he humbled him- self, becoming obedient unto death, yea, the death of the cross. Where- fore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name; that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, and that every tongue should con- fess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” “Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus.” It was a spirit which! served to the point of sacrifice. Not just the dropping of an extra nickle or dime or dollar into the collection plate out of an abundance. Did you notice the words “Becoming obedient unto death yea the death of the cross.”? “Greater love hath no man than this.” “Let this mind be be in you.” That speaks of humility. Do we have the spirit of humility? Rabundrant Tagore the poet of India Knighted by the King of England wrote: “Here is thy footstool, and there rest thy feet where lies The poorest and the lowliest and the lost When I try to bow to thee, my my obersance Cannot reach down to thy foot rest Among the poorest and the low- liest. Pride cannot approach to where thou walkest In the clothes « humble Among the poorest and the low- liest and the My heart can never find its way to where Thou keepest ¢ vith the Companionles Among the poor the lowliest and the lost. So Tagore never became a Chris- tian, he had n e spirit of Christ. Yet it Was: 1! inility ot Christ that imp the great Indian poet, ah which he could not approa Jesus ap- proached what \ x Tagore the vnapproachal laid his nis hands on wha is to Tagore the untouchable, iv pride so stiff it cannot ste low as Jes- us Christ, Canno heart find its way to when J: valks in his amless robe ami » needy of the earth. If any i have not the spirit ot Christ h one of his. It would be an ing’ line of thought, a mos ious line of thought to conside at those who are not his; who a t those that belong to him, will be lost and will * the individ- business or perish. That is tri ual, that is true ol industry. It may prosper for a time but in the end it will fail. The nation that has not the spirit of Christ is none of his. Our souls are being tried again today to be- come angry, to become vengeiul, to say in our hearts we are the greatest nation on the earth, drop a couple of a bombs on the Krem- lin and blow it off the earth. But let us remember the words of Jes- us, he that takes the sword will perish by it, he that takes the bomb will perish by it. I beleive in order and discipline in the home in the state and among the nations of the world, but bitterness, malice, anger, pride, jingoism, saber rattling, red baiting, is not the spirit of Jesus Christ. Force never healed and war never cured, Some way, somehow the love and the spirit of Jesus must posses the world or the end of all things will come and it will come sooner than we think. The church that does not have the spirit of Christ does not belong to him. If every man and woman in the church has the spirit of Christ. Then the church! will have his spirit. It is beside the mark for me or any one else to be critical of the church when I am part of it. It were more profitable to search our own heart just now. Does the spirit of Christ dwell in me, the spirit of brotherhood, of service, of sacrifice, of humility for if any man have not the spirit of Christ he is none of his. Again we thank thee Lord that thou hast taught us thy spirit spelling it out tor us on the dusty hills of Palestine, and by a Syrian Sea, and if to that place of a skull outside a city wall and on that cross to pray, “Father forgive.” And in thy grief and pain to turn to assure and bless a dying felon, saying,“ Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” May thy gracious spirit abide with us this day, Amen.

The gradu- ption exercises were very touching but we want those who left us ty know that our sincerest wishes and best of luck goes with! them where’ere they may be. Recently some of our girls, who have been with us for a long while, left us to move to Howard Cottage. We hated to see them leave us, but we still get a chance to see them. This leaves us a remainder of nineteen girls, and three of them have gone on vacations. We have a new big sister, who moved over three weeks ago. Even though Clara Mangum has become a Senior and had to move out, we are glad to have Shirley Byrd with us. Dig, dig, clank. and dig! This is all we hear now that the rain seems to have gone for a while. Yes, all of us are busy pulling out woeds and our faces are purple with all the digging, not only does our ilower garden look like a “Weed” garden, but our play woods do to. Pretty soon, though, it’ll look as good as new again. One can never know just how much we Annie Louise girls miss our heloved teacher, Miss Blakeney. We feel sure that she will be much needed in her Heavenly home, and this takes some of the hurt off our hearts, All we can hope for is that she is being greatly rewarded for the marvelous work she did here on earth.

PRINTING OFFICE Hi Folks, Tere we are again bringing you the latest news from the printing crew. Since we wrote you last we have lost one boy, Donald Mitchell, who was a senior and headman. Donald has taken up work with the Statesville Daily Record. We know he will be a complete suc- cess. So here’s our luck to you, Don. Vacations have rolled around once more and we are looking for- ward to ours very much, Swimming season is here also and if you ever come to visit us during the week aays you will probably see a whole swimming pool full of water lovers. School closed May 19th and we are all glad to be coming to work rard and we are looking forward a good summer vacation. Vell, folks this is all for this so until next month, bye- forgot due to the t of our crew we will not publish a Barium Messen- next month. Your Ace Reporter John Edsel McArthur SEWING ROOM Hi Folks, all of us new seniors came into the sewing room this morning, the first thing we heard was, “Where is the new seventeen?” It seems that everyone wants a new dress, We don’t know what the occasion is, but we have the gen- eral idea. Although we shall miss the old seniors, we are very happy to be sitting in their seats, which they occupied for a year. The seven new seniors are Shirley Inman, Jeanne Turlington, Melva Powell, Clara Mangum, Elsie Vest, Peggy Plyer, and Frances Strick- lin. Shirley Inman came over from the little boys cottage. We know she misses them, but the “larger” boys are more fun. Right Shirley? Jeanne Turlinton used to be a nurse but she gave up nursing, so she could watch for an employee of Black & Clark Motor Co. who drives a gray Studebaker. Melva Powell is nearly always found at one of the doors to see if by chance a beautiful new “Lin- coln”, with a cute boy in it, will pass and blow to her. Clara Mangum trying to make up her mind between two blonds, sewed her finger in the sewing machine. Elsie Vest before going to Con- ference, filled her suit case with 25 stamped envelopes. Wonder who the lucky person is? Peggy Plyer always looking for a “Nash.” Don’t worry honey, Roy will come by soon. We hope!

In fact for the first time in some years it is necessary this year to record a dificit of $10,760.69. Last yeur we spent $9,000.00 less than the year before. But our income was reduced by $16,326.61. The tabulation above gives the figures on the income so far as pertains to church sources. The principal decline in income is in the giving of the churches and from miscellaneous gifts. The first column above refers to churches through thie budget. In 1941 Synod asked the Presbyteries to allot to Presbyterian Orphans’ Home 9%. Since that time the percentage to the Home has been gradually reduced. Now the largest percentage given by any Presby- tery is 642%.

At its recent meeting the Re- gents of the Home studied all of these figures very carefully. But many things could not be bought, we recorded a substantial surplus each year. But this was done at the expense of our equipment which has largely had to be replacec since the war. The administration continues to use every means to economise in the handling of the sacred money committed to our care and we con- fidently look to the church for that interest, prayer and support which is the life blood of this institution. ampus News (Continued From Page Two) hey vacation.

Thus the outstanding need of the last fifteen years has been met and the pressure and tension ex- isting in the present arrangements will be eased. For six months during each year the school auditorium had to be turned into a gymnasium and the school had no place for chapel programs or exercises pertinent to the educational functions. Half of the children in the Home went to Sunday School on Sunday morn- ing through this auditorium con- verted into a gymnasium. During the week the teachers of the first seven grades trying to teach a- round it had to talk above the noise taking place in Physical Ed- ucation on the court just outside the door. Tensions will be relieved and the quality of school work will be improved in getting the audi- torium back as an auditorium for the school and the Sunday school. In addition to serving as the basketball court, the Activites Building will meet the needs of the entire student body. Varsity sports serve the needs of approxi- mately 30 percent, but in the new Activities Building there will he the regular roller skating, folk games, badminton, volley ball, shuffleboard, and rainy day room for activities that will touch the life of all the children. About three-fourths of the nec- essary money for this building is in hand. All the savings have been scraped together and put in one pile and it is the faith of the Re- gents that people throughout the Synod interested in the Home will want to share in the building guaranteeing not only its erection but also its complete equipment. Children, teachers, housemothers, staff workers, everybody is stand. ing up cheering for this great day in the life of Barium when the work on the building that will meet the greatest need on the campus has actually begun.

An Interesting Letter Dear Mr. Arrowood: I appreciate your letters receiv- ed some two or three times. Have been ill, but you need not as I see it, put a stamp on a letter just in acknowledgement of a one- dollar bill. But as John Barrymore used to sav, “It reminds me of the fact that if I do calculate right,” every month for the past 19 years I have sent a one-dollar bill into Barium, and not one has ever been lost in the mail. This may be odd, but it has been my only way to do some little thing for our Orphanage. My regards, July 3, 1950. P. S. Iam now 80 years of age. Campus News WOMAN’S BUILDING Hi There, Here we are trying to bring you up to date on our current events. First I would like to tell you of the wonderful time we had at the square dance, which Mr. McSwein called. It was a grand treat, because it is not often we have such a de- lightful experience. We also had a grand get together on the fourth of July. Swimming contest, eating, a soit ball game, and last but not least, a watermelon feast. Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. We would like to tell you, we have a new nurse, and we hope she is going to like us, as much as we are going to like her. Vacations are nearly to an end and now all you hear is, “Camp.” Some of the smaller children are going next week, lets hope they have a good time. It will not be long until school starts and everyone is excited. Ha! Shirly Ann Cannon, one of our girls, is just now recovering from an operation, “Here’s hoping you you will soon be well Shirley.” We certainy were glad to have the two sons of Mrs. Lottie Walker visit us, and we hope they can (Continued On Page Two) Two Weeks of Camp Held On: the Catawba Monday afternoon, July 31st, was a great day for all the chil- dren in Annie Louise, Howard, Syn- od, and Lees Cottages. All during the summer they have been plan- ning and talking about their camp- ing trip and at two o’clock there were four rows of children stand- ing along the side of the road wait- for the big yellow buses to come by and pick them up. Blankets, food and equipment had already been sent down, and the camp di- rector, Mr. Archie Calhoun, to- gether with his capable leaders, were ready to take these little folks down to the river for a week. Each child (and there were 96 of them) had his own little bundle of clothes and things thiat he might need and want, with twenty-five cents to spend at the country store across the river. Down on the sandy beach by the rolling Catawba these children finding themselves away from the restraint and routine of the cam- pus life, run and jump and play and carry on with wild glee. Swim- ming in the river, playing in the sand, playing group games to- gether, swinging in the swings, and fishing from the banks, all combine to make busy days which are ended with family prayers. The second week of camp will be under the direction of Miss Rebekah Carpenter who for many years has directed the camp for the older group. made up of the older boys and girls who have stayed here through thle whole summer, and who did not go on a vacation. They have the time of their lives at the river in relaxing and resting doing nothing. Food is prep: and the work is done by those who have had their time off and these boys and girls are kings and queens for a few days before they get ready for the opening of sc Through these days on the river many an inte? sting episode hias been stored away In the mind to Attention Alumni! Dear Members of the Alumni, Your memorial fund on the 26 of July 1950 stands at $1,056.71. Now this figure is $1,943.29 short of our goal of $3,000.00. I would like to take this opportunity to urge each of you to mail me your contribution as soon as possible so that our goal might be reached by homecoming day. Your Foster Brother and Sec. & Treas. of Mem. Fund, D. Reid Brown Route 1 Burlington, N. C. Nuernberg Worker Visits Barium Springs Miss Gertrude Duell, social worker in Nuernberg, Germany, is visiting the United States, and under the direction of the Chil- dren’s Division of the Department of Public Welfare, a visit to Bar- ium Springs was arranged. Mrs, Louise Blake, Supervisor of Chil- dren’s Institutions, chose Barium Springs because of its being a child-caring institution which has the extra feature of a camping program during the summer. Miss Duell spent a part of the time at the camp with the campers and the rest of the time upon the eamnpus of the Home, visiting with the housemothers and with the children and studying the plan and procedure, comparing and con- trasting it with the work that is cone in her own city in Germany. U y Jear oO sariun Miss Duell went to the Alexander Tome in Charlotte to spend a few la here in the study of a chil ( caring institution that deals particular problems he enjoyed forever and often i called and retold in later days. It is a wonderful experience for the children of the Home. Bean Stain And Blackberry Jam The boys of Lees Cottage proudly announced that they had already picked 113 bushels of beans, while the girls in Howard and the Woman’s Building display- ed their stained fingers, indicat- ing that they had strung and brok- en that same 113 bushels. All thie children in the Home have their assigned share in the Home’s pro- duction for summer food and win. ter supply. The orchard, the truck farm, the dairy farm, the cannery, and many other places require the time of the boys and girls, A review of the records shows that up through July 15th there has been quite a variety brought in in great quantities. The boys on the truck farm with Mr. Stik- leather brought in for the table and for canning such things as peas, lettuce, onions, radishes, by the bushel and cabbages by the hundred of heads, roasting ears by twelve hundred dozen, 264 bus- hels of beans, beets, squash, Irish potatoes, cucumbers, butter beans, tomatoes, and cantaloupes. The cannery has canned over a thou- sand no. 10 cans of beans and has stored away about one hundred twenty-five no. 10 cans of black- berry jam. Too, there has been 15,000 gallons of milk, 26,000 eggs, 2,000 lbs. of beef, 1200 lbs. of pork, 526 lbs. of frying sized chickens, 120 lbs. of hens and 240 lbs. of lamb. Some of this goes to the summer table and some of it goes . the cold storage for winter sup- ply. The big boys, under the direct ion of Mr. Stinson on the big farm have helped to produce feed sup- plies and grain, 119 loads of un- baled hay, 2300 bales of hay, over 1,000 bales of straw, 510 bushels of wheat, over 1500 bushels of oats, over 100 bushels of rye, and about 1600 bushels of barley. These have been carefully stor- ed away for the feeding of the horses, pigs, chickens, beef cattle, dairy cows, and sheep. It has not all been work though. The picture in the center of the front page indicates that there has been a lot of activity down a- round the swimming pool. In add- ition to that, 90 percent of the children have had from one to three weeks vacation away from the Home this summer. Work and play and worship, properly blended together is ~ood for the children and they are hap- py in it.

Campus News (Continued From Page One) come again before long. We would also like to tell them we certainly are enjoying living in this building, “Lottie Walker Building.” The men and boys on the campus are working very hard to do away with the paths we have made. “Come on folks lets see what we can do to help!” We certainly are glad to get some new children and we hope they will continue to come and make this their home. “Welcome friends.” The boys who work on the mes- senger each month really gave you a vacation. We saw them and their bosses out cutting grass and clean- ing up around the church. “Looks nice too.” Well folks we will say so long un- til next month same time. —Marie Andrews PRINTING OFFICE Hi Folks, Here we are again bringing the latest news from the printing of- fice. A lot of things have happened since you last heard from us, All of our boys of the crew are back from their vaction and we had a very good time. Last month the boys and girls had a square dance and a grand get together and we all enjoyed it very much. On the fourth of July there was a swimming contest, a softball game, and at last a watermelon feast. Everyone seem- ed to have had a wonderful time. Vacations have come to a close and everyone seems to be ready for another school year. Some of the smaller children are down at “Camp” and lets hope they have a good time. : We have had our big press motor repaired in this slack per- iod. It was hit by lighting and it is now repaired and ready to go as you can see. Dwight Reid has just gotten back from Alabama from his va- cation. Dwight told us he and three other boys caught 25 good sized fish, using soap for bait, It could be true. In this paragraph we would like to say that we hope the readers of this paper have had a very plea- sant vacation and have had a good rest. We sure have. Well folks, thats all for this time and so until next time, bye. —John Edsel McArthur JENNIE GILMER Hi There, This is Jennie Gilmer bringing you our news. All the boys are back from their vacations, and we all had a grand time, but are glad to be back. Pretty soon some of Lee’s boys will be coming to live with us and we hope they are as glad to come as we are to have them. Some of us boys will go to camp and are really looking forward to going. I guess all of you know that we like to go boat riding and hiking. We wish you could come along. School will start in a few weeks and we will be very glad to get back to schiool routine. Well folks we will see you again next month and tell you more about school as we will be going to school then. —The Jennie Gilmer Boys ANNIE LOUISE COTTAGE Hello Friends, We, your little friends, have been doing some gay traveling this summer, and all of it was wonderful too. First, many of the girls over here went on vacations. There were only a few that didn’t go. However those that stayed at home had just as good a time en- joying the moving back into our newly painted house. Second, we have just arrived back from a weeks camping trip at Camp Fel- lowship. There aren’t enough words to express how dirty all of us were. The very first thing we saw was hot water and soap wait- ing for us in the tubs. Boy! does it feel good to be clean again after all that lipstick and and such. While we were away at camp, a new little girl came down there to stay the rest of the week with us. Now, we have her to live in our cottage all the time. Also there was another girl that came just before we left. One is in the second grade (Claudeth Merritt) and the other in the third (Christine Clark). They are both very cute, and we are very glad to have them in our family. A while ago we mentioned some- Barium Springs, N. C. A MEMORIAL GIFT Rev. R. S.

Pretty soon now our school will start, and we'll have to dust out all the cob-webs for some more learning. Most of us have forgot- ten how to spell, and do we drive the house mother, and two big sisters mad when we start to write letters. Our house mother has gone on a months vacation, and already we miss her. She will be back a day or so after we start school, and we hope she has a nice time during the four weeks. As for our flowers, they’re so thick that they resemble a jungle. But no matter how thick they may get, they’re still pretty. Since we’re so excited over just coming back from camp, we'd bet- ter wait until next month to tell you the rest of our experiences. Til then, The A. L. C. girls SYNOD’S COTTAGE Hello Friends, Things have really been hap- pening during June and July. We all had a nice vacation. Our house mother, Mrs. Hough is back with us from her vacation. While she was away, Miss Winnie Ferguson, took her place. Our big sisters took their va- cations, Hilda Barnes went to Stony Point, and Mary Frances Price went to Lenoir. We had a grand time at camp last week. While we were away, our big sisters and Mrs. Hough fixed up our floors. They really look nice. We have seven new boys with us. Four from the Baby Cottage are: Gene Taylor, Bill Boston, Freddie Gilespie, and Tommy Joy- ner. Three just came from their Bobby Merrit, and Braxton Brid- ges. We are very happy to have dges. We are very happy to have these boys with us. Until next time folks. —The Wigglers Aloraui News (Continued From Page One) dress is V. A. 25 NAAS Oceana.

Campus News ANNIE LOUISE Hello Friends, Yes, once again we little busy bodies are bringing you the ever- present gossip from Annie Louise. Many of our little girls’ parents have come this past month, and it is so nice to get acquainted with! new children’s parents, and also reacquaint ourselves - our busy selves - with the other parents. Soon now, we will be going to football games and yelling - or rather cheering ~ for our own home team. It seems like ages since we last saw a football game, but of course a year does seem long to us little ones. Last month’ we told you that we were about to begin school, but at this writing, it has gotten into full swing. Our study room, which we call the kindergarten, is now in full time occupation. Of course we aren’t guaranteeing you that we use it for study, but just between you and us, we’re supposed to. In Residence 282 Children BARIUM SPRINGS, N.C, SEPTEMBER 1950 NO. [1 “FUTURE FULLBACKs” OR Gy so he ti na We have a number of little girls in our cottage whose birthdays come in September. Just to satisfy your curosity, we’ll name ’em for you: Sue Moore, Clara Dean Byrd, and Christine Clark. Even though we have sung a “Happy Birthday” to thiem all, we want them to know that we sincerely wish them many, many more in the years ahead. A good many of the substitute housemothers are leaving us to take up their fall terms in college. Two or three of such students have been our housemothers during the past three months. We have be- come so attached to many of them, that we hate to see them go. How- ever, we wish them good hunting and “larning” in those big thick books they study in. Much to our sorrow, swimming is over, especially for us young ones. It so happens that we are having the hottest days of the year right now, Oh, well! such is life. If we want to ever get any learning into these thick heads of ours, then we had better get busy. Don’t you remember, we're sup- posed to be busy bodies. We can’t let our reputation die down any. So keep your right hand fingers Se (Left hand brings bad luck). Until October! The A. L. C. “Busy” Girls Hello Folks, Here we are back again telling you the latest news, since you last heard from us. We are kept rather busy these days since school has started. We are glad to have our teachers back with us. We have a new housemother, Mrs. Fanshaw, who has come to live with us. We hope she will en. Joy living with us as much as we enjoy having her as one of our big family, We have two new boys. They are Johnny MacNicholas and Charles McLean. We are happy to have them with us. Until next time, — The Wigglers WOMANS BUILDING Hi There, It is time for us to pass our good news on to you once more. School has started and every one seems to be very happy. Here’s hoping we will remain in this state of mind. We have a new girl and we cer- tainly hope she will enjoy living with us. Glad to have you, Lona! Also we are glad to have Miss Winnie Ferguson to spend the win- ter months with us. We certainly did appreciate thie delicious Bar-B-Q. Although it is gone we still have not forgotten about it.

A short class schedule was fol- lowed during the early morning and the highlight of the day was the opening day program in the Elementary School auditorium. Reverend R. S, Arrowood led the devotions and Reverend Albert B. McClure brought a very inspiring and helpful message which was most fitting for the occasion.

First Football Game With Thomasville Since August 21st the boys of the high school, under the direct- tion of Coaches Calhoun and Jack- ins, have been getting ready for the football season. Though thie squad is small, the players are in good shape and anticipate a good season. The schedule will open with the first game on Friday af- ternoon, September 15th, on Sloan Field at Barium Springs with Thomasville affording the opposi- tion. This game will give the coaches a chance to see just how much they will have to work yet on the team in shaping it up for the heavy schedule that lies before them. All of the home games will be played in the afternoon on Sloan Field because there is no lighting on the field for night games. The date for Homecoming has been set for October 27th and our game that day will be with Mon- roe. All the Alumni will be expect- ed to return and share in the fes- tivities of the day. Further an nouncements will be made in the next issue of The Messenger and through the papers in general and through correspondence.

Glad to have our good friends, teachers, back with us. Well so long folk, see you again next month. — Marie Andrews RUMPLE HALL Hi Folks, Most everybody is back from vacation and we are getting ready for school. Judging from the post cards we have received this sum- mer, some very interesting places have been visited by our folks. We have received, and enjoyed cards from Valley Forge, Pa., Win- ter Haven, Fla., San Francisco, Calif., Lake Lure, N. C., Chimney Rock, N. C., Montreat, N. C., Pasa- dena, Texas, Farmount, Pa., Wash- ington, D. C., Charlotte, N. C.., Myrtle Beach, S. C., Wilmington, C.. Flberton, Ga., and Daytona Beach, Fla. We enjoyed the beauti- ful pictures of lovely gardens, great bridges, beautiful churches, and many other things. Friday night Miss Carpenter brought the record player to Rum- ple Hall and we enjoyed some folk dances. Mrs. Ellis served us iced apple juice. We enjoyed it very much. We are enjoying our new girls very much. Hope they like us as much as we like them. We all had new dresses made at the sewing room and we would like to thank all the sewing room girls and Mrs. Smith for all the nice work they did for us. “Thanks girls and Mrs. Smith, We are getting our campus all fixed up. It looks very nice and we are going to help keep it that way. The teachers are coming in the 30th of August and we are start- ing to school the 31st of August and we sure can wait. Be sure and look for us next month. — Nellie Sellers SEWING ROOM Hi Friends, This is the first time we have written the news for the past two months, and we can say right now that we have lots to say. During the month of July our sewing room shut down for the en- tire month up ’til August the first. All the girls went on their vaca- tions and had lots of fun. Now to the high event of the summer for each girl and also for our sewing room matrons. Melva Powell went to Moores- ville and also ran back and forth between Carolina Beach and White Lake, She came back very brown and also with a cut foot. You ought to see her now, waiting pa- tiently at the mail box for a letter from Charlotte. We are wondering who she is waiting to hear from? Jeanne Turlington spent her va- cation in Clinton, N. C. Her Stude- baker friend was with her two week-ends. We are wondering when he is going to get tired of coming down to Barium. Some- thing must be up. Right girls? Elsie Vest went to visit some friends in Kannapolis, N. C., the beach and the mountains. A cer- tain young boy from Stony Point was a favorite visitor of hlers while she was away. Shirley Inman went to Lumber- ton, N. C. and also visited the famous Carolina Beach and White Lake. Two long distance telephone calls from Statesville, N. C. kept Shirley happy. Wonder who was calling? Your guess is as good as mine. Peggy Plyler spent her vacation in Kannapolis, N. C. We know she had a good time looking at all the beautiful Nash cars go by. Frances Stricklin was the first of our seniors to go on her vaca- tion. She spent her two weeks in York, S. C. and Jacksonville, Fla. She came back very brown and went to a church conference. She has been life guard down at the pool this summer while the re- gular life guard went out for foot- ball. Mrs. Smith spent her vacation traveling around Washington, Vir- ginia and South Carolina, She really had fun and she was right back on the job on August the first. Miss Campbell spent her vaca- A MEMORIAL GIFT Rev. R. S. Arrowood, Treasurer, Presbyterian Orphans’ Home, Barium Springs, N. C. You will find enclosed § ................ in memory of NAME OF DECEASED ADDRESS DATE OF DEATH SURVIVOR TO BE WRITTEN ADDRESS RELATIONSHIP OF SURVIVOR TO DECEASED ONE GIVING MEMORIAL ADDRESS tion traveling and at her home in Mooresville, N. C, She came back the first of September ready and willing for work, Last but not least, Clara Man- gum had a wonderful time in Dur- ham, N. C. She must have really impressed a boy because he came 150 miles just to see her an hour. and a half. Since she has been back there seems to always be a 1950, yellow convertible, Pontiac coming to Barium every available night. She surely is lucky. Right, all? Camp started the first two weeks of August and two of our seniors who didn’t go on a vaca- tion went. The second week Frances went, and by the looks of her baggage, she must have thought she was going to stay a year. The rest of the senior girls were lucky enough to ride down to camp on the back of the truck eating crakers and ice cream. In August we have been making all the cottages their new school dresses. It seems that every one wanted navy dresses and we really have been turning out some pretty ones. The last of August always means school, and we _ sincerely hope that this will be the best school year that we have ever had. Keep your fingers crossed for us. Until next month, — The Sewing Room Girls Clara Mangum and Mel- va Powell. Alumni News (Continued From Page One) Born to Ernest and Edna White of Belmont on January 12th, a daughter, Ernestine Tate.

This balance was $49,292.16 on April 1, 1950. CAPITAL FUND The source of the Capital Fund is legacies received annually. During the year 1949-50 the sum of $21,778.00 was received. The average over the last five years has been $18,692.22 per year. The expenditures from Capital Funds last year for land, buildings, machinery, equipment and trucks were $18,632.96.

This has reached the amount now where if used totally for operation it would carry the institution for a lit- tle more than a twelve-month period. The above is a complete financial statement of the Home. ‘The operating budget for 1950-51 is $236,838.00. It is easy to see that if the operating budget is not met annually by the gifts of the churches and friends the needs of the children will not be met. They will have to eat less, wear less and be admitted in smaller numbers. Barium Springs has always been taken care of and it is the faith of the Regents and the entire staff of the Home that the people of North Carolina intend for the needs of this place to be supplied. It is also the belief of the Regents and the entire staff that the Synod expects economy and business like management. To that end the Regents and the staff pledge themselves in faithful service. ma n Ta i t es ae ee wun” Messenger Cesatdiieb Established In Residence 1891 282 Childrea VOL. 28 BARIUM SPRINGS, N.C., OCTOBER 1950 NO. 12 Barium Boys Entered Seminaries This Fall When the new students enroll- ed at the seminaries in Richmond, Va, and Louisville, Ky., Barium Springs had representation in each. Ernest Stricklin had chosen the Louisville Presbyterian Semin- ary and Paul Horne had gone to Richmond to study at Union. Ernest Stricklin came to Ba- rium Springs when he was ten years old and graduated in 1943 with a fine record. Between high school and college he spent about three years in the Navy. At Davidson he distinguished himself in the campus activities and particularly in the athletic life as one of the outstanding foot- ball players on the campus. During his years at Davidson he contin- ued to serve Barium Springs by having charge of the water front during the summer at Camp Fel- lowship. Paul Horne entered Barium Springs at the age of two and continued here until he graduated in 1942. Paul found his college course interrupted by the war and spent three years in the service of his country. Upon returning he completed his college course at Davidson and then at the re- quest of the Administration of the college stayed an extra year managing the Student Store. On Awards Day at Davidson special recognition was taken of the out- standing work that Paul had done in his extra year. This path from Barium to Da- vidson to the Seminary and into the Gospel ministry has been walked by many Barium students before. It is the earnest hope and prayer of the administration and of the Church throughout the Syn- od that the Spirit will lead many students yet to walk in that path- way to serve in the Kingdom of God. Homecoming Set For October 27th The annual Homecoming date bias been set for October 27th at Barium Springs. From far and near, the trek to Barium will be- gin even before the 27th and that Friday promises to be a great day in the hfe of Barium Springs. In addition to the hand-shaking, the personal greetings, and that which takes place at any reunion, there will be thie scheduled events of the day. Beginning at 11 o’clock there will be a High School Chapel and pep meeting. At 12 o’clock the alumni luncheon will be served in the dining hall. After luncheon there will be a meeting of the alumni called by the president of the Alumni Association. At 3:30 in the afternoon the Home- coming game with the Barium Springs Red and White Tornadoes demonstrating their ability will be played on Sloan Field. Monroe High School will afford the oppo- sition and from all appearances it promises to be a humdinzer of a game. Will every former student of this institution who reads this or hears of this occasion please ac- cept it as a personal invitation to return to the campus on Friday, October 27th, for thle annual Homecoming event. LOOK AGAIN, THERE ARE APPLES ON THE TREE cs al : “ . ; « & hg a “4 ° si a” ‘Sy ‘> * ~ * Three Seniors and two Juniors in the apple tree assisting the supervisor of the orchards, Mr. Woodrow Clendenin, in gathering the apples. Thle apple crop at Barium has been more than abundant. The limbs of the trees have been broken down and the apples have been more than the Home could possibly use. The Thompson Orphanage and the Jackson Training School were invited to come and take as many as they needed, additional boxes have been sent to Davis Hospital and the children of the Home have had all the apples that they wanted to eat. Of course, the late apples have not yet ripened but will be stored in the apple house for use in the late winter and early spring. No peaches now for about five years, but apples galore for all the children on the campus and for friends and neighbors nearby. OT Do Your Thanksgiving Plans Include Your Barium Family, Too? The Synod Requests A Generous Offering, Presbytery Approves lt, And The Home Needs It. How It Looks At The Halfway Mark One half of the church year is gone, the bills are paid and ac- counts balanced and we can take a look at how things stand. In brief we have taken in from all sources of income $61,735.38. We have spent $107,152.04. The above figures look bad but they are not too discouraging. One half of our benevolence in- come is received from the Thanks- giving Offering. Also much of our income from regular offerings is received late in the church year. So we receive three fourths of our yearly income in the last four months of the church year. We are greatly dependent on the Sun- day School offerings and_ those from the Women of the Church which largely keeps us going dur- ing the first part of the year. At best we have to draw on our re- serves for about $50,000.00 for the first eight months of the fis- cal year. Another encouraging fact is that we have received from thle churches $1,662.76 more than for the same period last year and we have spent $6,701466 less than last year. I think there are three reasons for that. First, we have not been able to find some ad- ditional personnel, approved by the Regents; second, we do not entertain Synod this year, That always calls tor considerable face lifting around here and the buy- inv of additional supplies which hold over for several years. Third, the Lord has blest us with fine crops this year and all the hay has been saved. The truck farm crops have been good, reducing our food bills. We have a wonder- ful apple crop. Presbyterian Orphans’ Home has had three sources of income from the churches. There is the percentage assigned us from the church budget; the special offer- ings from the Sunday Schools and Women of the Church; and the Thanksgiving Offering. Last year (Continued On Page Two) Board of Regents to Hold Fall Meeting The Fall meeting of the Regents of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home has been called for Wednes- day, October 18th, by the presi- dent, Mr, W. E. Price. The twenty members of the Board will con- vene in the morning, attending to business throughout the day and having lunch with the chil- dren on the campus. Three new regents will attend their first meeting. Mr. C. Spears Hicks of Durham has been elect- ed to replace Dr. Kelsey Regen. Mrs. J. H. Matthews of Gastonia hias succeeded Mrs. Coit Robin- son, and Mrs. Charles Ross of Lillington has succeeded Mrs. r. P. McCain. One other regent, Mr. W. Y. Preyer, who was elected at the Fall meeting of Synod, has written that his doctors will not permit him to accept any addition- al duties and, more than that, they are requiring him to. lay down some of his present respon- sibilities. In addition to the matters of the Home pertinent to the life of the boys and girls, especial at- tention will be given to the build- ing program, including the Ac- tivities Building and __ possible housing facilities for the personnel necessary to the life of the cam- pus, PAGE TWO THE BARIUM MESSENGER OCTOBER 1950 BARIUM MESSENGER Published Monthly by Presbyterian Orphans, Home REV.

Campus News BABY COTTAGE Hi Friends, We suppose you are surprised to be hearing from us but we hlave been so busy and excited about many things for the past several months, that we haven’t had time to write. One of the many things we were excited about was the fair. It has been about two weeks since we went to the fair but you can still hear the little children talking about what they did and what a wonderful timethey all had. Since you last heard from us, we have lost seven little girls and only gained four. We have lost four little boys and gained two. One of the little boys, Chlarlie Greene, has been on a month’s visit in Charlotte. Happy return Charlie! We wish you were all here to see how beautiful the campus looks at this time of the year. Most of the leaves have turned to their many colors and are gradually falling. It won’t be long until everyone here will be raking or playing in them. This coming Wednesday, Oct- ober 11th, we are going to have a birthday party for our children since we have had so many birth- days this month. One of our big sisters also had a birthday. We have now four big sisters who take very good care of us with the help of our housemothers. Two help with the girls and two with the boys. One of which is a very beautiful red-headed girl. Another who shows her talent by singing in our church choir. Another who has been with us for only two weeks, we are growing to love as we do the other three. Last but not least we have a little girl who looks like a boy since she had her hair cut off. So long until next month. — The Babies Helen Barnes and Elizabeth Huddleston INFIRMARY Hi Folks, Long time, no hear! But open your ears because we are going to shoot you the works. Football season is under way here at Barium and, “Boy!” are the “Tornadoes” hot this season; with the winning of Thomasville 21-6 and Childrens Home 41-0, but with a slight upset from Boyden High of Salisbury we were defeated 12- 7. Here’s hoping we win the rest of our games in the future. Keep up the good work boys. Our new gym we have looked forward to for so long is being delayed for the lack of steel, We went to the fair last week and had a wonderful time. The High School students want to thank the Kiwanis Club of States- ville for making it possible for us to attend. Shirley Porter, the “Little Nurse” has finally returned from the hospital where she stayed for five weeks. Welcome Home! Well folks, if you get sick you know where to come. Yes, you guessed it, come right to the Infir- mary. See you next month with more of our exciting news. — The “Morgue” Reporters — Jane Feimster, Elmina Johnson, Shirley Porter. WOMANS BUILDING Hi There, Time again to bring you up to date on our current events, First we want to tell you about our football team winning both of its games. The score of the Thomasville game was 26 to 6, and the score of the game with! Children’s Home was 41 to 0 in our favor. “Keep the good work up boys, we are with you all the way.” Fair bound! Every one attended the fair and seemed to have had a wonderful time. We had a chance to vote for the girl who is repre- senting the fair queen from our school. “Best of luck Ann!” We are all enjoying school and it will not be long until we receive our reports. Lets not be like this boy. Teacher: “Billy where is the Red Sea located?” Billy, “Its on the third line of my report card.” Each month) our work sheet changes and we work at a differ- ent job. For myself { can‘t wait as I miss my good warm bed every moring,. I know everyone else feels the same way so I hope their time Barium Springs, N. C. A MEMORIAL GIFT Rey. R. S.

But what can you ex- pect from us small, “brainless”, busy girls? (The $64.00 question!) That event which never fails to creep up on us is soon due, Of course we’re talking about the un- dying report cards that seem to come around unexpectedly, Just in case a “few” of us are a little below average, do you suppose it would do any good to cross our fingers? Or is it too hopeless? Since our first football game was played on our own “Sloan Field”, we Annie Louise girls were able to go. However, the second game was on Children’s Home’s field which we heard all about from our two big sisters. From all we can gather, our mighty Barium team is doing pretty good. Speaking of our two big sisters, the other night thy were teasing the house mother, who is from Statesville, about hoping her home town would get beat. For a wilile there was a wild chase all over the campus, and since their hiding place is a secret, we can’t tell you anything further, But we can tell you this, they both slipped up by the fire escape at Bonnie’s sug- gestion. Not so long ago all the Barium students went to the Fair, which is just below us. You never saw :0 many dirty faces in all your lite as there were at the end of that day. We always look forward to the fair, for we never have gone a time without having a great deal of fun. As the beginning of October is the time when the changing leav- es are given the most attention. It seems that they are the prett- iest right at this time of year. Some of our little girls have gotten beautiful fall school dres:- es from the sewing room. Come to think of it, there are a few thit are the color of the leaves. Just the other day we little girls had the nice surprise of going to see “Peggy” a comedy in techni- color. All of us were about to “die laughing”, for just about every- thing in it was funny. It’s time now for us to wear shoes, which at the moment we are glad to get on. But by the time summer rolls around again, we'll be glad to get them off. That is human nature, we guess. Now don’t forget to keep your fingers crossed for us, and we’re pretty sure that we won’t. With the report cards coming our way, it’s going tc take more than cross- ed fingers to get good reports, and thats us crossed over our housemother’s knee, Until November, we remain- The A. L. C. Girls HOWARD Hello Friends, We are glad that the leaves are falling. Now we can make play houses and run and jump in them. We have a new bicycle that the children from the Junior High School in Mooresville sent to us. We are having fun riding the bike after school. If Miss Cora Freeze and the boys and girls who sent it to us could see us riding it they would know just how much fun we are having. We are having a big time now after school has started. We have started skating. On rainy days we stay inside and fix puzzles and play records. All of us were invited to the fair. We were so excited about getting to ride all the different things. We had almost as much fun talking about it when we came back. It was nice of the folks at the fair to invite us. - Howard cottage Girls by Shelby Peak LEES Hello Everybody, We are still around and as live- ly as ever even if you haven’t been hearing from us. We had a very happy summer but were glad to start back to school. It is time for our first re- ports, hope every one makes good grades. We transferred nine boys to Jennie Gilmer and we got nine from Synods Cottage. We are glad to have Elmer Earl Cox to come live with us, he comes from Washington, N. C. The flowers have been pretty, we have helped keep the weeds out of them. We want to move a lot of them in the house this win- ter. You should see our campus now. The maple leaves are turning yel- low and red and some are falling. We enjoy playing in the leaves. Then we will rake them up and send them to the barn to make beds for the cows. We are having fun playing foot- ball. We are the “Rag Team”. So long till next month, — The Lees Boys How It Looks At (Continued From Page One) our income from all sources lack- ed $10,000.00 of meeting our needs and we had to draw on our re- serves for that amount to make up the deficit. But if the church- es, through their splendid organi- zations, continue the rate of giv- ing we are now receiving, with God’s help and blessing we will avoid a deficit this year, So we thank God and take courage. Iredell County Fair Holds “Barium Day” Since late summer great plans have been made by all the children on the campus for the annual Ire- dell County Fair. Some of the boys have been getting their calves ready while others prepared exhib- its of fruit, grain and various other items. However all were ready to attend on the day which was turned over to Barium. The general manager, Mr. Clyde Smyre, extended the usual invita- tion to Barium Springs to come down and have the afternoon “on the house”. R. G, Calhoun, princi- pal of the school, together with his teachers and some of the housemothers, made arrangements for the children to leave the cam- pus at 12:30, walking about a quarter of a mile, to enter the fair ground gate. From one o’- clock until five it was a hilarious and glorious occasion. During the first hour all of the exhibits were open and the children had an op- portunity to see them. From two until four o’clock the Ferris Wheels were running and the jit- neys were flying and the trains were on the track and loud and happy voices were calling across the way, giving evidence that hearts were light and merry. The management was at its greatest and turned the things over to all the children who came along. At four o’clock the arena was open and the arena show with all of its entertainment was presented be- fore the cheering children. At 5:30 the afternoon was closed and weary bodies but happy minds made their way back to the campus and once again the Iredell County air was tucked away in_ the minds and memories and exper- iences of the boys and girls. State Conference Held At Oxford The annual meeting of the child-caring institutions was hleld in Oxford, N. C. on the 27th of September. The Masonic Orphan- age with Reverend A. D. Leon Gray, superintendent, was host for the day, providing assembly halls and conference rooms and affording a delicious meal at lunch time for the nearly one hundred visitors. The morning session was fea- tured by choral singing of the children from The Colored Or- phanage in Oxford and two ad- dresses, one by Miss Mary Bruce Roberts from Atlanta, Ga., speak- ing on The Housemother, and the other by Mr. Martin Gula_ of Washington, D. C., speaking on The Superintendent. After lunch forums were held for the housemothers and_ the superintendents. The business ses- sion in the late afternoon closed the conference, with Reverend L. C. Larkin of the Methodist Or- phanage in Raleigh being elected president to succeed Reverend Thomas L. Moose of The Nazareth Orphanage at Rockwell. Invitation was extended by the Mills Home of Thomasville for the conference to meet with them in 1951. Representing Barium were Miss Neely Ford, Mrs. Elizabeth Payne, Mrs. E. M. Ellis, Mrs. J. H. Gen- try, Miss Kate Taylor, Miss Lois Jackson, Miss Rebekah Carpenter, Mrs. Ruth M. Watson and Rev- erend Albert B. McClure. Organization Regular .... Memorials ............

ARROWOOD Jno, 8:32: Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. One hundred and seventy four years ago the Continental Con- gress passed and signed a great Declaration of Independence which began. “we hold these truths to be self evident. That all men are created equal; that they are en- dowed by their creator with cer- tain inalienable rights; that a mong these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, gov- ernments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” Some years later a constitution of the United States was enacted and certain amendments were passed from time to time which became a part of the Constitution. The following are significant sentences: “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or of the free- dom of speech or of the press.” “The right of citizens to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state, on account of race, color, or pre- vious condition of servitude. Somewhat before the Declara- tion of Independence of Philadel- phia there was the Mecklenberg Declaration couched in similar language. A hundred or so years before that our Scottish forefath- ers signed their covenant in their blood on the grave stones of the Greyfriars Church yard, words that spoke as strongly for free- dom. I have just received a book translated from the Latin of the 16th century. I give you two short quotations. One was the words of Geo. Buchanan, moderator of the church of Scotland and a Presby- terian Elder. He said, “Kings do not exercise authority by divine or other inherent right, but are created kings by election at the hands of their people, and on con- dition of their maintaining the laws.” The other quotation is from John Knox founder of Presbyterian church of Scotland, “All man is equal.” Whence came these thoughts of men of old that we find writ- ten in constitution of our Repub- lic? It comes from God’s Book. His word of truth. His word is truth. ‘Freedom; says Jesus, ‘comes from knowing the truth.’ So may we briefly today find again and redefine the Founda- tions of our Freedom. 1—Freedom under the Law. It is something of a paradox that there is no freedom without law. No state is a free state which is not governed by law and that law to apply to every person in thie state be he king, prelate, pre- sident commisar or what have you. A free state is governed by law. That is why when God was es- tablishing the Hebrew Common- wealth, the first great democracy, he first called his servant Moses onto the mount and delivered to him the book of the law. Should we make our freedom strong? Obey the law. Uphold thie law. In that day when the law is used to strengthen oppression or to defeat justice then is freedom fled from our country. 2—Freedom under government. As our Declaration says, “De- riving its just powers from the eonsent of the governed.” The germ of representative govern- ment is found in the Hebrew Com- monwealth built up by Moses. Hear him as he said to the Israe- lites, “Take you wise men and un- derstanding and known according to your tribes and I will make representive them heads over you.” Dr. Lyman Abbott has written “The Hebrew commonwealth was the first government to put res- trictions upon the absolute power of the monarchy; the first to have a popular legislative assembly; the first to ask for the judgement of the people in general elections; the first to organize government into three departments - legisla- tive, judicial and executive; the first to make any provision for popular instruction.” I have read a story of a states- man who picked up the book of church order which outlines the government of the Presbyterian Church, a representative govern- ment, representatives chosen by a vote of the people and he said here, coming down from the days of monarchy are the principles on which America was founded. Yes, I am proud of my Presbyterian heretage, traceable in two lives for nearly two hundred years, But the Presbyterian System is of value because the men of the Westminster Assembly were men of the Book and the Scottish Church which accepted thiose Pres- byterian standards and passed them on to us were embred with the Philosophy of Geo. Buchanan, Algernon Sidney, John Knox, and Andrew Melville who were men of tne Book. That book which An- drew Jackson declared in his last illness to be “The rock on which our republic rests.” 3—Freedom in equality. When our forefathers declared their independence they say that they hold it a self evident truth that men are created equal. Abra- ham Lincoln in his Gettysburg address began by saying “Four- score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth! on this con- tinent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the pro- position that all men are created egual.” Whence came this fundamental principle of freedom? It is found- ed on the word. The principle goes back to Moses in the establishment of the Hebrew Commonwealth when Moses declared in Deut. 10:7 “The Lord your God regardeth not persons.” Job declared “He res- pecteth not any.” God had to work a miracle and repeat it three times to get it through the thick head of Peter, but at long last Peter said I perceive that God is no respector of persons. Puir Bobby Burns who wrote “a man’s a man for a’ that” also describes a poor farmer and his family reading the Bible and praying and singing hymns and concludes his great poem, “From scenes like these old _ Scotia’s granduers springs, which makes her loved at home revered abroad. CLOTHING AND CLOTHING FUNDS DUE Princes and Earls are but the breath of Kings, an honest man’s the noblest work of God. (To be continued next month) Salisbury Eleven Takes Tornadoes A strong and spirited club of Yellow Jackets from the Boyden High School in Salis y, coached by Bill Ludwig, cam victor- ious in the scrap On Sloan Field on Friday, October 6th, by the score of 12-7. The Yellow Jackets with the passing accuracy of Bar- ger scored two touchdowns in the first half to take a 12-0. lead. In the second half the Tornadoes held strong against all scoring threats and produced a_ touch- down of their own, making the extra point after and leaving only five points separating the two teams at the final score, Strong line play, excellent pass- ing, good down field blocking were demonstrated all afternoon. The coaches of Boyden and Barium had their squads in excellent shape and the spirit of the teams on the field and off and the spirit of the cheer leaders and cheering sec- tions was a thing of beauty to be- hold. Finer sportsmanship and cleaner play could not be asked for. This is Barium’s first loss of the season, having won from Thomasville 21-6 and defeating the Children’s Home 41-0. The re- mainder of the schedule is as fol- lows: October 13, Barium at Spencer; October 20th, Barium at Lexing- ton; October 27, Homecoming, Monroe at Barium; Novembers, North Wilkesboro at Barium; No- vember 10, Barium at Mooresville; November 17th, Barium at States- ville. Beta Club Elects Ten New Members The Beta Club of the Barium High School at a recent meeting elected ten new members. Eight girls and two boys were recogniz- ed for their excellent grades and citizenship. The new members are: Paul Barnes, Helen Baucom, Hilda Don- aldson, Pattie Inman, Shirley Por- ter, Melva Powell, Frances Strick- lin, Dorothy Surles, Palmer Wil- cox, and Gloria Williams.

C. extended an invitation to the children at Barium Springs to be their guests at the Mills Brothers Circus in Mooresville on October 26th. Dr. Norman Shlo- lar who had charge of the arrange- ments said that there were 300 tickets available and that he want- ed every child at Barium Spring to be present for the circus that afternoon. Mr. J. H. Lowrance, whose long service at the Home makes him ready to meet any occasion that arises, had transportation ready. The two buses were driven out and the two big trucks loaded up, the pick-up trucks were standing by, and all the cars available were in line so that the whole Home was loaded up and started in pro- cession to the circus grounds. Upon arrival, we found the Ki- wanis committee ready to greet the children and the management of the circus very hospitable in admitting us to the Big Top. To the utter amazement of everyone present, the reserved seats in front of the middle ring had been made available for the Barium children. While the crowd waited the band came over into the cen- ter ring and gave a concert, and then for two hours the acts were performed to the thrill and delight of those whi were present. Some of the little girls from Annie Louise Cottage wanted to take the clowns home and when their housemother asked them what in the world they would do with them at night they said they would just put them in the box with the rest of the dolls. The management of the circus in cooperation with the Kiwanis Club went all out in making it a glorious occasion, and even invit- ed the entire assembly to remain for the Wild West Show after the regular performance. It seems like the Kiwanis Clubs of Mooresville and Statesville are special friends of Barium Springs. They are always doing something nice for the boys and girls here. Adult Leadership - Needed At Barium Perhaps the most important place at Barium Springs is that of a housemother. For twenty-four hours a day she lives with the children and it is the housemoth- er who coordinates all that hap- pens in the life of the child. At the present time there is need for additional leadership in this field at Barium, but since this is a phase of work that is so impor- tant, it requires persons who are particularly well suited for the job. A person necessarily has to be strong in body to take the strain of the day as it comes. Adaptabi- lity and gentleness are two other qualities that a person needs, and if one does not have a good sense of humor there is hardly a possi- bility of being suecessful in the work. Love for children and the ability to understand them are also prerequisites. So the house- mother must be a rather unusual person, strong in body, keen in mind, and deeply spiritual in out- look, capable of dealing with’ the most important thing upon earth - the soul and body of a child. Persons who have these qualities and whi have a desire to enter into this work as a calling and who are young enough to grow up in the work, might communicate with the superintendent of the Home. THANKSGIVING AND BARIUM SPRINGS On Thanksgiving Day nearly three hundred children will bow their heads to give thanks for the bountiful meal set before them at Barium Springs. _It is traditionally true that certain friends provide the Home on that day with all that is necessary for a Thanksgiving spread. child may eat until he is satisfied, and more than that, until he is uncom- fortable. Thanksgiving dinner they also know that they will be able to eat during the days between then and next Thanksgiving, because Presbyterians throughout the Synod of North Carolina, are going to reach down deep in their pockets and send their hard-earned money to the Home to pro- vide for the children. Every But the glorious part of the story is that as they eat their The Synod of North Carolina in adopting its budget proposed that nearly two-thirds of the Churches’ gifts to Barium Springs should be given at Thanksgiving through the Thanksgiving Offering. Every year ministers, officers, Sunday School teachers, and members of the church have worked hard and given sacrificially. This year will be no exception. Even though everything at home is higher, people will also recognize that the same items bought at Barium Springs are higher too, and will therefore send to the treasurer of the Home enough to feed, clothe and care for the boys and girls who make up the Barium family. Often it has been said that Barium Springs receives more than its share, that Barium Springs is rich. If the financial statement printed in the Messenger was read, the truth would be known for the facts stand out clear as to the exact financial status of this institution. Presbyter- s are that last year the Home lacked over ten thousand dollars of receiving enough to meet its needs. This deficit was met by taking that amount from the cash operating balance. This cash operating balance stands now at a minimum necessary for meeting the bills between the interim of the incomes from the Churches. It is the faith of the Regents and the administration that when men, women and children throughout the Synod know these facts that they will pro- vide adequately for the work of the Home. ians like facts, and the fact Thanksgiving in 1950 is going to be a glorious occasion because £ the Synod and, in the name of the Christ, Church’s work an offering for boys hand to mouth and that Christian people at the call o are going to send to this part of the and girls. Remember that Barium lives from it is your hand and Barium’s mouth. Homecoming Day Brings Hundreds Back Former students from North and South Carolina and _ Virginia thronged the campus at Barium Springs for the annual Homecom- ing and football game on Friday, October 27th. At the morning Chapel Program and Pep Meeting, presided over by the principal of the school, R. G. Calhoun, Reverend C. H. Sides, pastor of Little Joe’s Church, conducted the devotional exercises. The new. superintendent, Rever- end Albert B. McClure, was pre- sented to the returning alumni, and then the feature of the morn- ing was the address and reminisc- ing by the former superintendent, Dr. Joseph B. Johnston. Dr. John- ston delighted the assembly by calling the returning grads by name and relating some incident about them and their athletic abilities while they were at Ba- rium Springs. At high noon the bell in the old tower called everybody together in the spacious dining room for the alumni luncheon, which by special request from the alumni was similar to that which had been eaten so often on the cam- pus, About two hundred folk were present as guests, making from five to six hundred people in the dining room at one time. The alumni meeting, called by the president, Arthur Roach, was held in the high school building. Zeports were made, and resolu- tions were adopted. Since officers serve for two years no elections were necessary. The feature of the day came when the Red and White Torna- does of Barium Springs took on the Blue and White Pythons from Monroe, N. C. in a grand football game. During the contest two passes were completed for touch- downs. John Bullard took a re- verse and ran for another one and 3uddy Maples bucked over from the five for the fourth, Paul Barnes kicking each point with Pinky Hillard holding, made it four straight and the score was 28-9 in favor of Barium Springs.

Campus News SEWING ROOM Hello friends, Since we did not get any news in the Messenger last month, we have lots to say this time. The most important thing that has happened to us was about a week ago. I suppose everyone en- joys a home made cake once in a while. All the sewing room girls and our two bosses enjoyed a big piece of devil’s food cake. You ask where we got it? Jeanne Tur- lington’s mother came to Barium for a week-end and she brought her a beautiful cake and well, you know the rest. We really would lke to thank Jeanne’s mother and all hope she will come back soon. Our football season is in full swing and we have won all of our conference games. Our only non- conference game was with Salis- bury. But they did not beat us too much, only 13 to 7. Our last game was played over at Lexington and ended with a scorless tie. Keep up the good work boys and you can rest assured that all of us are behind you. The sewing room has really been busy making pajamas for boys and school dresses for girls. You should hear these machines hum. You would think something was behind them, as indeed there is, you ask what? Why there are seven senior girls busy working their fingers to the bone. Here is a little gossip about each girl working here in the sew- ing room. Jeanne Turlington took a trip to Charlotte to buy her a new coat. We all know she will be _ really warm this year. Frances. Stricklin is already making college plans. She _ will attend W. C. U. N. C. Good luck goes with your plans Fannie. Melva Powell having an 8 by 10 picture made. Wonder who the lucky person is that will receive it? Old Powell can be seen any time at the mail box, what time she isn’t sewing. Anne Wilcox is being a busy beaver beautifying our recreation room down at the Woman’s build- ing. Wonder what the big deal is? What say, Willie? Shirley Inman, waiting with great anticipation for the Albe- marle-Statesville football game. Now what’s in Statesville? Or is it Albemarle that is attracting her attention? Peggy Plyler, keeping up with Western Carolina College. There must be a “Church” down there, Reckon? Joyce Katen’s favorite music is listening for the sounds of a motorcycle. We can’t understand why she likes that kind of music, but if she likes it, why complain? Louise Surles is still working as the school librarian. Last but by far not the least is Clara Mangum. Wonder why it is that Clara is receiving a letter from Salisbury nearly every day. Could there be something serious about all these letters? We will leave that to her to decide. Report cards have gone out and nearly everyone made the honor roll. We really are proud of our girls and we hope everyone will make the honor roll next month. Homecoming is Friday, the 27 of October. Everyone come up and have a real big time. We are ex- pecting a lot of people, so don’t disappoint us, All of us senior girls send all of you a sincere wish that who ever you are, or where ever you are, you will have a wonderful Thanksgiving and may God bless you all. Until you hear from us again we remain as ever, —-The sewing room girls. Clara Mangum Melva Powell ANNIE LOUISE Greetings Friends and Neighbors: Since the Thanksgiving season is near at hand, we here at Barium are beginning to look around to see all the beautiful wonders to give thanks. The autumn trees, with their red, yellow, orange, and still green leaves, are a sight in itself to behold. With so many trees on our big campus, they no doubt are the first fali season things we notice. The green grass is fading slightly and with it we know old man winter isn’t any too far away. Surprises galore are just flood- ing our way! First, we went to the picture show to see a comedy called “Peggy”. All of us including the first grade laughed till our sid- es felt as if they’d split. Second, we just came back from seeing a circus in Mooresville. It was the biggest cireus we had ever seen, and in all three rings they had an act going on at one time. For some of us, it was the first time we had been big enough to see one. However, for us ‘‘veterans” it was again a pleasant surprise. That same night while we were bathing, little Betty Sue Church and Mary Jane Bolton said that they wished they could have brought one of the elephants back with them. Where would you keep it? was asked. “In our boxes, of course’, came a quick reply. Now for any of you who have _ seen these boxes, you could tell at once that an elephant’s foot could barely get in one. A little birdie has dropped us a hint that we may get to go to a movie to see “My Biue Heaven” staring Betty Grable. Of course there is a possibility that this birdie is wrong, but we hope not. You faithful friends of ours who have kept your fingers cross- ed for us on that report card business, might be interested to know the outcome for the first six weeks. We want you to know that it certainly did help, for there were a good many of us on the honor roll, but also a good many who weren’t. There were a few who missed by one S. Now that’s doing good for us small ones, don’t you think? Please keep on being just as faithful, and we’ll see what we can do next time. Until that time, thank you so much for everything. —The A. L. C. Girls. WOMANS BUILDING It seems thiat so many nice things happen to us that I forgot something very important last month. I would like to take this time to say thanks to Mrs, Crumpler for the sixteen pairs of lovely curtains. They certainly do im- prove the looks of our rooms. We don’t mind the wind blow- ing now, since Mr. Treuse sent us the beautiful lace trimmings for our slips, “Thank you Mr. Treuse.” All the Senior girls are step- ing out in new outing night gowns. Bet they stay warm, don’t you? Glad to have the Regents with us the other day. The birthday table was not quite so large this month, only 59 people went, this included the Regents and pupils who had a birthday in October. We received our reports and everyone made pretty good grades, Now we will say, “Congratulations” to all the girls who made the hon- or roll, One of our girls has taken the job as assistant matron on the other side of the campus. We hope she will soon come back and live with us. “Welcome home any time Elsie.” Our game with Spencer was one which almost anyone could enjoy, even though we did have to stand up. We put the game in the bag by a margin of 38 to 6. Lay off your cokes and candy, girls, basketball starts Novem- ber thirteenth. We ran hardly wait, as we have new suits and everyone is doing her best to see if she can get one. They are still black and gold, but so beautiful that the players might be scared to play in them. We also got new warm-up suits which are lined this year. Guess we do not have an excuse to get so close to Mr. Hethcox now. “What do you say to this, girls?” Everyone’s eyes were turned to some visitors the other day that Elsie, Peggy and Marie were showing around... Certainly vas glad to have Rey. and Mrs. Moore and some members of his church down from Charlotte. Hope you can come again soon, friends, and also you others who have not been the first time. Don’t say you don’t have time, just run up any time, Due to rainy weather the Barium and Lexington game was post- poned unti! Monday. The game turned out be a scoreless one. But it wes still exciting for those of us who went. We have been having some ex- cellent plays in the past weeks. If they don’t watch out we will run the movie stars out of busi- ness, We forgot to tell you before, thanks to you friends who have made it possible for us to attend the football games away from home, Every one seems to be making tracks, and with new shoes at that. T! certainly do look smart. Don’t wear them out walking up and down the side walks, girls. Some of the girls have had visitors and we would like to say we certainly did enjoy having everyone of you, come again, friends. A member of the Senior class is going to start writing some news from our school, Be sure you read it, I know will make interest- ing reading. Certainly did have a_ delight- ful time at the Cireus, Thank you friends, who made it possible for us to attend. “T smell paint.” O yes, I know, they are fixing up a recreation room down stairs, where we hope to dance, play games and just have fun. So long folks until next month. —Marie Andrews. SCHOOL NEWS In our school this year we have three new teachers an a new prin- cipal. However, Mr. R. G. Calhoun is not new to our schoo! at all.

Homecoming was celebrated on Friday, the 27. A large number of the alumni were here to see the afternoon football game with Mon- roe.

R. S. ARROWOOD Jno. 8:32: Ye shall know thie truth and the truth shall make yeu free. (Continued From Last Month) Last month we discussed the blessing of civil and religious lib- erty and gave three pillars for its foundation: The Law; Representa- tive Government; Equality. The fourth’ pillar is FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND WORSHIP We get our papers with their crit cism of the powers that be, uttered without fear or favor so lone as they contain nothing scan- dalous or libelous. So long = as there is freedom to speak the truth in America, men’s minds will be enlightened and their intellect will he free and freedom can live. The first amendment to Constitution guarantees that to us. It is not known behind the iron curtain, where a choice remark just a hint may cost a life. How wonderful is the Bible in its teachings on free speech. Old Nathan the Prophet feared not to noint his finger at King David saying, “Thou art the man.” Old Elijah met Ahab in Naboth’s vine- yard that Ahab was about to take, and Ahab said “Hast thou found me, 0 mine enemy?” And Elijah replied “I have found thee because thou hast sold thyself to do evil in the sight of the Lord.” The A- postles Peter and John preaching at the beautiful gate of the temple were called and commanded not to speak nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied “We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” Closely bound to the freedom of speech is freedom of worship, as- sured us by the Constitution of the United States. How fortunate Americans to have civil and religious liberty won by the blood of martyrs all down the ages. Witness the He- brew children in the fiery furnace, Daniel in the Lion’s den; James the son of Zebedee slain with the sword; Stephen stoned to death; Peter crucified; Paul beheaded; Ridley and Cranmer burned at the stake. Time would fail me to tell the long sad story how, in the name of religion, “Man’s inhu- manity to man makes countless thousands mourn.” Yes the roll of martyrs is a long one who gave their lives that we might worship our God according to the dictates of our own con- sciences, It was fitting that the words of Patrick Henry were first spoken in a church, Old St. John’s Church in Richmond. “ Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.” FREEDOM FROM THE POWER AND PUNISHMENT OF SIN But political and civil free- dom is not the final, the complete freedom, described in our text, for far too many in this land of freedom are still bound by the chains of habit; hemmed in and hampered by their own prejudice; limited and enslaved by their sins; knowing little of what Paul calls “The glorious liberty of the chil- dren of God.” Freedom to such an one only comes through! the sacri- fice, the salvation of Jesus Christ. No slave can set a slave free but the son of God can for he abides in God’s house forever. Last summer we visited one of the most beautiful estates in North Carolina and went through that part of the house open to the pub- lic. But often we came to a silken cord that said we could go no fur- ther. There were hundreds of rooms we might not enter. But if we had been children of that home every door would have swung wide for us. “For if the Son shiall make you free ye shall be free indeed.” To gather then in a few words the message of this text. The hope of the world for freedom rests not in armies; or in Marshall plans; or in treaties, United Na- tions, or any man made material thing, but only on the principles of this Book, the Word of God, and in Him who is incarnated truth. For where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Honor Roll For (Continued From Page One) Porter.

Every time we seem to tell you about our Joy Gift Christmas tree, which we have in the dining room. Well, it’s no different this year. Again we’re going to back- fire and give instead of just re- ceiving. To someone in need, we are going to give a gift and we are all too happy in doing so. It makes us feel that we have bal- anced the Christmas Spirit by giving. Our ever favorite game of bas- ketball is almost in full swing. By the 12th of December, we will have played our first game of the season. Our big sisters are going to try to explain what goes on out there on the court, for there are a few of us who have never seen a basketball game. We do hope that our basketball season will be as successful as our past foot- ball season was. Also every month we tell you about a movie we have recently seen. This time, the most recent was “Tripoli,” a very colorful and exciting movie. During part of a sand storm, we just had to close our eyes, for we’re too chicken- hearted to watch. Remember to keep in touch with us every month, and we’ll make sure that our little article is right here where it ought to be. Merry Christmas, everyone, and may you have a very happy New Year. —The Little Forget-Me-Nots SCHOOL NEWS The football season was offi- cially over on December the 1st when we had our football ban- quet. At the end of the season, we had a total of six wins, one loss, and one tie in conference games. We were second in our conference. At the banquet, it was announced that Paul Barnes had been elected by his teammates as captain and most valuable player of the year. We will lose four players from graduation, Paul Barnes, Terrell Hall, Bobby Whiting and Mason Traywick. We had Thanksgiving holidays from Thursday until Monday of the following week. On Thanks- giving Day we had the annual “Linament Bowl’ game. The al- umni of our school played the alumni of Statesville and lost 18 to 0. Two weeks ago basketball prac- tice started.

The Glee Club had a program November 9th at the grammar grade auditorium, giving both sacred and secular music. They also gave a program of sacred music at Mitchell College. The Sextette, consisting of Melva Pow- ell, Jeanne Turlington, Helen Barnes, Rae Powell, Louise Camp- bell and Shirley Inman, went to Raleigh and spent the week-end in order to sing for the Vanguard Sunday School Class and the First Presbyterian Church there on Sun- day morning. This sextette also sang at Statesville for the La- dies Auxiliary. Another group, made up of Hazel Creech, Pattie Inman, Peggy Neel, Lucille Stin- son and Anne Wilcox went to Newton to sing for the Ladies Auxiliary. We are very proud of our school this month because during the re- cent Jr. Red Cross drive we had 100% participation and gave a total of $31.25. This is the larg- est amount we have given in re- cent years. The Junior Class is now selling Christmas Seals. The middle of November we wrote our Santa Claus letters. Our contestant for Miss Merry Christmas was Jeanne Turlington, a senior. Everybody went to the parade in Statesville. Now that the Yuletide Season is officially here, let us be the first ones to wish all of you a Merry Christ- mas and a Happy New Year. —Shirley Inman. LEES Hello Folks, We had a very happy Thanks- giving and we want to thank all our friends for the nice things they do for us. We went to Charlotte to see the Christmas parade. We took our sandwiches along and had _ our supper in the bus. We had a good time. We are looking forward to the Christmas holidays. Santa Claus will soon be here and we will have plenty of toys to play with. We were invited to the Play- house to see “Tripoli,” then last week we went to see “Treasure Island”. Some friends in Morganton sent us some candy for Thanksgiving and Mr. Flynn Menius came to see us and brought a crate of oranges. Thank you, We were all thrilled to see the snow. It was real cold but we got out in it just the same. We have enjoyed the football Richard Vest, Frank Smith, Char- games and now we are looking forward to the basketball season. SYNODS Hello Folks, We certainly want to thank Mrs. Eugene Johnston’s circle in Mooresville for the nice box cf cakes they sent us. We have been sharing them with the Howard Cottage girls. They sure do taste good when we come in from school. Old Jack Frost paid us a visit in real style during the Thanks- giving holidays. He nipped our toes and noses. It was so cold we had tc play inside most of the time. We brought home new report cards today with three of our family on the honor roll. They are: Douglas Byrd, Bobby Meritt, and Bobby Ramsey. Some brought their grades up from last month, others have promised to do better in the future. Christmas is just three weeks away. We are trying to be real good so he will remember us this year. Hope old Santa will be good to you. —The Wigglers. SEWING ROOM Hello Friends, The sewing room is just buz- zing with news this month. We have been very busy making Choir robes for the Glee Club, and after making them, the girls got to wear them to sing at Mitchell Col- lege. Man, they really looked nice. (if we do say so ourselves). All of us are really proud of ourselves. You ask whiy? Well, now don’t die of shock, but all of us sewing room girls made the honor roll. The only thing now, is to work hard and make it again next month. Our football season ended very successfully and to make a happy climax, a football banquet was given to which all the senior girls were invited, the faculty, and a number of friends, and of course, the football boys. After the banquet, the high school was invited to a square dance and all of us danced until we could hardly move. Sure hope we have lots more square dances, ‘cause all of us just love to dance. Now for some news about each of our girls: Anne Wilcox, receiving letters from Mississippi, wonder who could be way out there and is ex- pecting to come home for Christ- mas. Marie Andrews, having a little trouble with her football friend, VARSITY SQUAD FRONT ROW (left to right): Dean Upton, Jerry Williams, Fred Feims- ter, Buddy Maples, Johnny Hudgins, Joe Barkley, Mason Traywick, Terrell Hall.

Peggy Plyler is still keeping up with Western Carolina Teachers Coliege. We are still wondering if a “Church” is down there. Melva Powell was seen coming out of Belks with a big package. Wonder who the lucky person is that will receive it? The mail box is still a favorite haunt of old Powell’s. Shirley Inman has moved her interest from Albemarle to States- ville. Now wonder what is in Statesville? Frances Stricklin going around with a wonderful expression on her face. What has come over Fanny? Could it be a “Boyd”? Jeane Turlington, our candidate for “Miss Merry Christmas”, of Iredell County didn’t win but we all thought she deserved it. The Studebaker friend is still going strong. Now for Clara, well, old Man- gum is still receiving letters from Salisbury every day. We _ were wondering last month if it was serious, now we are almost sure it is. By the way, old Mangum has a part time job working in the “Snack Bar”, when the girls are practicing basketball. Some of our girls have been away this month, making talks and singing. November 18th, Shir- ley Inman, Jeane Turlington, Mel- va Powell, and a few more girls went over to Raleigh to sing. They wish to send their love to Dr. Scarborough and Miss Annie. They had lots of fun and talked about it for days. Clara Mangum went over to Winston-Salem the same day and made a talk on Ba- rium to the Highland Presbyterian Church. After church, she ate at the Robert E. Lee hotel and that’s all old Mangum talked about. We know all of these girls had fun and would love to go again, but much to their sorrow they will be graduating in May. We want to thank Mrs. Hillard for the wonderful candy we enjoy- ed so much. Any time ya make any more, Mrs. Hillard, we would love to have it. We are all looking forward to Christmas and to the New Year. Surely hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year. May God bless you all. —Clara Mangum. Melva Powell. HOWARD Hi there, The things that stand out in our minds most this month is go- ing to Charlotte to see the Christ- mas parade. Hopalong Cassidy led the parade and Santa Claus ended it. The parade was real pretty and we all enjoyed it. We all sat in the bus and watched it. No one expected the snow but it came Nov. 24. Every one was ex- cited. They were jumping up and down and running back and forth. After breakfast our big time came, we were all sliding down and throwing snow balls. After we had played a little while we came in and got warm. After dinner we went outside to play again and started to make a snow man but we didn’t get to finish it. We got our report cards, nine girls made the honor roll. Their names are Romona Blake, Shelby McEwen, McFarland, Sylvia Wells, Merle Byrd, Janet Woodall, Shelby Peak, and Edna Mae Evans. Elsie Vest, who came to help at our cottage made it too. We are all proud of the ones that made it. We are still riding the bicycles, we are teaching the ones to ride that don’t know how. Already four girls have learned to ride. They are Shelby McEwen, Lillian Bau- com, Betty Wright, and Barbara Porter. So long until next month. —Howard Girls.
