Barium Messenger, 1958
Barium Messenger VOL. 35 Superintendent Reports To Board Of Regents September 30th, 1957, brought to a close twelve in- teresting months on the camp- us at Barium Springs. New projects and procedures have been tried and in many in- stances found to be very help- ful. The In-Service Training Program, under the direction of Dr. Keith-Lucas and admin- istered by Mr. Alton Broten, has been of great value to the campus. The enlarged com- munity experiences in the High School at Troutman have been helpful to the boys and girls. The period of change and the necessary ad- justments have not yet been concluded and we may yet have some interesting experi- ences ahead. With the toils, troubles, with the joys and pleasures interwoven, we would have to say that again there is manifold evidence to believe in the goodness of God and His provision for the Ba- rium Family. The superintendent has been active in the work of the Home and has been partici- pating in the organizations which relate to the Home. He has attended the annual con- ference of the Presbyterian group which met in Hugo, Ok- lahoma. Barium is a member of the N. C. Orphanage Con- ference which holds an annual meeting, and holds member- ship in the Southeastern Con- ference. The superintendent has the honor as well as the duty of being the president of this Conference now. The meeting will be held in Charleston, S. C. in March, 1958,—the 25th and 26th. It would be good if some mem- bers of the Board could be present for this period of study and discussion. The superintendent and the staff of the Home have earn- estly tried to carry out the policies of the Board. The Board will form its own con- clusions as to what should be maintained and pursued and what should be changed or eliminated. If we have _ suc- ceeded we are grateful—if we have failed we will be glad to have the Board remind us of what yet needs to be done. Health The health of the boys and girls at Barium Springs is good, Every year during Jan- uary a general physical exam- ination is conducted by two competent physicians. Careful notes are made and a follow- up on each suggestion is done for each child. This sometimes involves an operation or treat- ment done by local doctors or (Continued on Page 2) BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C., JANUARY 1958 AWARDS AND LETTERS GIVEN TO FOOTBALLERS AT BANQUET - Fifty years of married life with Forty of them spent in the service of the Home. FESTIVITY MARKS LOWRANCE GOLDEN WEDDING Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Low- rance, who have been married 50 years this December and have lived in the Barium Springs community for 43 years, were honored at a gold- en wedding reception on Sun- day afternoon, December 8, at their home. Hosts for the an- niversary party were their two daughters, Mrs. J. E. Rhyne of Jacksonville, Fla., and Mrs. Rowe McNeely of Statesville and their son W. N. Lowrance of Asheville. Welcoming guests at the door were Mrs. Julia McNeely of Badin, Mrs. Foster Matth- ews of Boonville; Miss Rebek- ah Carpenter and Miss Kate Taylor of Barium Springs. Mr. and Mrs. Lowrance re- ceived in the living room with Mrs. Rhyne, Mr. and Mrs. W.N. Lowrance, and Mr. and Mrs. McNeely. Mrs. Low- rance, senior, wore cream lace over yellow satin and a cor- sage of yellow orchids. Mrs. Rhyne wore black lace and corsage of red _ carnations. Mrs. McNeely wore a red cry- staline dress and white carna- tions. In the dining room, the re- freshment table was spread with a white nylon cloth, and across the front of the table were 50 golden bells, draped in three swags. The four-tier- ed wedding cake was topped with three golden bells, lace and an arrangement of yellow roses. Throughout the house were many bouquets of yel- low, gold and bronze flowers. The wedding cake was cut by Mrs, Paul Costner of Char- lotte, Mrs. Harry Barkley of Statesville, Mrs. R. R. Collins and Mrs. A. B. McClure of Barium Springs. Serving punch were Mrs. A. M. Cal- houn and Mrs. Ed Kyles of Barium, and Mrs. Allen Ket- chie of Mooresville. Invitation to the den was extended by Mrs. James Moss and Mrs. John McGrath of Jacksonville, Fla., Mrs. Billie D. Price of Statesville and Mrs. Hilda Horsman of Bar- ium. The guest book was kept by Mrs. George Neel of Cherryville and Mrs. Brevard Price of Statesville. Receiving in the gift room were Miss Lucile Young of Troutman and Miss Leila Johnston of Charlotte. Others assisting were Mrs. Frank Ketchie and Mrs. Ralph Brawley of Mooresville, Miss Bruce Ann Parcell and Miss Pam Deaton of Statesville. Mr. and Mrs. Lowrance were married in Mooresville on December 5, 1907. Both are originally from that commun- ity. Mrs. Lowrance is the former Miss Leila Frances McNeely. During the first seven years of their married life they lived near Moores- ville, and then removed to (Continued on Page 3) Barium Springs honored its football players at the annual football banquet in the school’s dining hall. Charles Ward, Randy Shaw and Jim Kiser were announc- ed by Coach R. G. Calhoun as recipients of Barium’s top football awards among var- sity members. Following a long-standing custom, the Tornadoes name a permanent team captain after the season. Charles Ward, a 140-pound senior and only returnee to the Tornado backfield this year, was nam- ed permanent captain of the 1957 eleven. Ward was ham- pered by injuries during the past season and was relegated to only punting duty in final games. Randy Shaw and Jim Kiser were named dual recipients of Barium’s Most Valuable Play- er Award. Shaw moved from the line to the backfield this season. A 163-pounder, he was Barium’s top threat in the running unit. Kiser, who started this season at guard and then split duties in both the line and backfield, is a 154-pounder and turned in his best work defensively. Both boys will be back with the Tornadoes next season. Calhoun presided over the banquet and addressed the large crowd, on hand to honor some 88 football players at Barium Springs, including the junior teams and varsity. Some 55-60 boys were out for the junior squads and they had their day shortly before Thanksgiving. The boys were divided up into two teams of 100-pounders or less for one COTTAGE NEWS South Cottage Hello Everyone — We are back again with the news, All of us have been very busy trying out our new balls and other toys. We all had a very Merry Christmas and hope that you did too. Almost ali of us got what we asked for at Christmas. Everyone in our cottage was fully awake early Christmas morning and could hardly wait until after breakfast. Santa Claus was good to all of us. Good old 1957 has died, and the new year of 1958 has mov- ed in. All of us are very sorry that our minister, Mr. Collins, and his family are leaving us in order to accept a call from Mexico, Missouri. Mrs. Collins and the two little boys will go out by plane and Mr. Collins will drive the car. Mr. Collins has been our pastor for a lit- tle over three years. No. 1 game and two more teams of over 100-pounds for another game. ‘We played from lunch until dark,’’ Calhoun said in describing the big day for the juniors. Barium’s’ varsity, which played seven games, failed to pick up a victory, but valuable experience will be gained on the squad which will lose only five by graduation. Missing next year will be Back Harold Evans, Back Melvin McKen- zie, Guard Peyton Miller, Back Charles Ward and Cen- ter Jim White. Flu hurt the team’s efforts in mid-season and left only a skeleton group to work with, Calhoun added. He especially praised the spirit and deter- mined work of the boys. All the boys in high school at Barium turned out for practice in August when the call went out for grid candi- dates. Calhoun said that never before in the history of Bar- ium Springs had all boys in high school gone out for the squad. Presentation of the squads was made after a T-bone steak dinner with all the trim- mings. A group of the junior players rendered a_ special musical selection, along with a solo by Charles Ward. Varsity players receiving letters were Richard Black- burn, Jim Blake, Buddy Coch- rane, Harold Evans, Donald Frazier, Kenneth Joyner, Jim Kiser, Ricky McArthur, Mel- vin McKenzie, Richard Mc- Kenzie, Peyton Miller, Joe Ramsey, Randy Shaw, Char- les Ward, Jim White and Wayne Wright. We have two birthdays in January: Gordon Brown’s is January 2nd and Tommy Bush’s is on January 22nd. This winds up our news for this month and we hope to be with you the next time. Miss Ford’s Cottage Hi Folks — You must have thought we were lost. There have been so many things going on that we have not had much time to write, but it is now time for news not excuses, We finally got our work schedule worked out. Mike Morgan, Tommy Joyner, Jer- ome Ruff, and Jimmy Hoover have been made members of the Royal Society of Cow- keepers. Dempsey Tyndall and Charles Ford are Pea-pickers and Walt Snead is our only Carpenter Shop boy. (Continued on Page 3) PAGE TWO THE BARIUM MESSENGER UNDER THE STEEPLE-N uggets of News FROM LITTLE JOE’S CHURCH Rev. ROBERT R. COLLINS, Minister The glow of Christmas still warms our hearts as I write this article. So much that was beautiful and meaningful hap- pened to our family here during this glad season that we feel we shall receive an inner blessing from the remembrance of Christ’s birth throughout the coming year. Another fine group of boys and girls participated in a pre-Christmas Com- municants’ Class and were received into the membership of the church, giving their hearts to Christ as their Christmas gift. The combined Choirs presented a lovely program of Christmas music, with the voices of over seventy-five of our boys, girls and adults singing familiar and traditional carols and songs. The Family Tree in the big dining room was anoth- er highlight as each made a gift, decorated the tree, and help- ed to bring the joy of Christ to boys and girls in the Belgian Congo where our church’s missionaries, the Rev. and Mrs. L, A. McCutchen are working. Both the Pioneer and Senior High Fellowship groups had open house in the Fellowship Hall, with caroling, refreshments and fellowship before an open fire. The climax came on Christmas morning, when for the fourth year our entire family gathered Under The Steeple to worship our Saviour on the day of His birth. Once more we joined our hearts in worship and praise of Him who was born that we might have Eternal Life. As the early rays of Christ- mas day broke across the eastern sky, we returned to our cot- tages and homes with a renewed appreciation of the greatest of all gifts, the coming of God’s Son! All of this was of particular significance to me, for I knew it would be my last Christmas as pastor of Little Joe’s Church. In my mind and heart there were many thoughts and feelings, but uppermost was a deep sense of gratitude to Christ for the great privilege that has been mine to be the pastor of His children here. For I know that long after I have assumed my responsibilities as pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Mexico, Missouri, I shall recall many happy memories of the rich experiences that have been mine as pastor at Barium Springs. As I leave, I thank God for allowing me to have some part in the molding of the lives of these boys and girls in the things of Christ. Now I join ranks with thousands of you who, though far away, love and pray for the fine family of God’s people that gather each week to worship Him, Under the Steeple of Little Joe’s Church.

The Infirmary is under the direction of a registered nurse, and Dr. Thomas Grif- fin of Troutman is on call for the Infirmary and has office hours for the children. In ad- dition, the facilities of Davis Hospital are made available to the Home for any service that needs to be rendered. Again, let me offer a word of praise not only for the services which the doctors, nurses and members of the administra- tive staff render our children, but the spirit in which they give it. A tenderness and an understanding that cannot be bought goes along with their service. Dr. Smith Kirk and the members of the Dental Committee are continuing to keep up the emergency work on the campus; and, as the Board will recall, Dr. Kirk, upon the completion of his special study at Chapel Hill, will again render us service at Barium Springs, adding his new knowledge in orthodon- tia. Case Work A detailed report has been placed in the hands of your Case Work Committee. The enrollment of the Home dur- ing the past year was around 200, reduced by reason of hav- ing two buildings out of op- eration. These two buildings are now replaced and occu- pied, There are spaces in the Home for additional children and we anticipate reaching its capacity of 250. We have many more applications than we have room to admit; there- fore, we have to discriminate between the applications that are made and consider those which are within the rules of admission laid down by the Board, requiring that the chil- dren be a part of the Presby- terian family, or children for whom a local Presbyterian Church is responsible. The su- perintendent and the Case Work Department question seriously the wisdom of ad- mitting pre-school children to the institutional setting. At present we will admit a child who is as young as three years, but we discourage the admission of children under school age as much as is pos- sible. The Board members must of necessity already be aware that a Home of. this size with only one case work- er is far below normal, and that the department is seri- ously handicapped by reason of the excessive load. If we are to fulfill the generally ac- cepted requirements of case work for this many children, it will be necessary to lay plans for the enlarging of the Case Work Department. Miss Rebekah Carpenter, the pres- ent case worker, is usually busy sixteen hours a day six or seven days a week. We just need more like her to help carry the heavy load. JANUARY 1958 Buildings and Grounds One of the most discourag- ing features at Barium Springs is the condition of the buildings on the campus and on the farm. A_ tremendous sum of money would be neces- sary to repair these buildings satisfactorily. On the campus the personnel have been ex- ceedingly fine in working un- der limited circumstances and with poor equipment. Every effort is being made to reno- vate or repair the buildings when money is available. Dur- ing the year the two cottages replacing Annie Louise and Synod’s have been completed and are now occupied. Each of these buildings, I believe, will be very satisfactory for living quarters for sixteen children and two adults. The people who are now housed there find a satisfaction in living in these new quarters. The Board will hear from the chairman of the Buildings & Grounds Committee about the home where the superinten- dent lives which should be known as “Jackson’s Man- sion.” Burwell Cottage has had some repairs. A new roof has been put on and the front porch which was falling in has been restored. A new furnace and stoker was installed and that house is now ready for operation and can house two families. The Laundry has been repaired and the new equipment has been purchas- ed and installed. A furnace was installed at the Clendenin house and roof and gutter work was done on several of the cottages on the campus. Finances The operation of the Home has been kept within the ap- proved budget for the year October 1st, 1956 through September 30th, 1957. Some expenditures authorized were not made because of circum- stances prevailing at the time preventing a right choice of materials and the proper pur- chase price. These unexpend- ed sums will appear in the new budget request for new authorization in the coming year. The Board will be able through the report of the treasurer, the Finance Com- mittee, and the Auditor, to get a complete picture of the financial structure of the Home. It is interesting to note that at the very time a neces- sity arises at Barium some provision, oftentimes made years before, will become manifest and the needs of the Home continue to be met. This is further evidence that the hand of the Lord provides for the operation of this place. Farm, Dairy and Orchard These four units of the Home are called the produc- tive enterprises and at the present time they are produc- ing well, but it is also my con- viction that future planning should be a real concern of the administration of the Home. The farm, gardens, dairy, and THE BARIUM MESSENGER Published Monthly by Presbyterian Orphans’ Home REV. ALBERT B.

Durham orchard could be so coordinat- ed and inter-related in the use of machinery and staff that a greater production could be obtained without extra cost. This is a big operation and calls for carefully chosen lead- ership. The head of this de- partment must have a broad knowledge in this field as well as practical experience. He should have understanding of soils and modern farm pro- cedures, a knowledge of the dairy and beef herds, of irri- gation and truck farming, and a knowledge of orchards and fruits. This is not to say that the present leadership in the operation is unsatisfactory. Each man in his department is to be commended, but his department could be benefited by a fuller coordination. Nor is this any reflection on the leadership of the present farm manager, but time moves on with retirement age moving ever closer, and when that time comes the Board and su- perintendent should be ready, having agreed on policy and procedure. Religion Corporate worship services held each week are the Church School, the Sunday Morning Worship Service and the Mid- Week Prayer Service. The Church Schoolclassesaregrad- ed and enrollment for all de- partments from Kindergarten through Adult Classes is 217. In the Youth Groups which meet on Sunday evening the average attendance for the Senior High Fellowship last year was 34. The average at- tendance for the Pioneer Fel- lowship last year was 40. Miss Charlotte Calhoun, assisted in her work by Miss Shirley Kearns, the teacher of piano, has a number of choirs which are used in various ways in the service of worship. The Chancel Choir is composed of high school boys and girls and adults ; the Intermediate Girls Choir, composed of sixth, sev- enth, and eighth grade girls, sings on special occasions. There is a Junior Boys’ Choir (Continued on Page 3) JANUARY 1958 THE BARIUM MESSENGER SUPERINTENDENT REPORT (Continued from Page 2) of the fourth and fifth grades, and a Junior Girls’ Choir of the same grades. In 1956 twenty-nine chil- dren were received into mem- bership from the communi- cants classes, and in 1957 sev- enteen children have been re- ceived into membership of the church. Some of the boys and girls who have come to the Home were already members and have been received by cer- tificate. Through the gener- osity of friends, the boys and girls of the Pioneer and Sen- ior High Fellowship groups have had access to the sum- mer camps and conferences. Last summer 24 Pioneers at- tended and twelve Senior High Fellowship members were at Camp Grier. The Youth Groups take a regular part in the Presbytery’s pro- grams for youth. While a fine program of re- ligious instruction does pre- vail in the church, in the school, and in the Home, it is the opinion of the minister and the superintendent that there is much yet to be done for the Christian nurture of the boys and girls. Perhaps the Home could best serve these needs through a graded program of instruction in the Elementary School through the whole of the week. This idea has already been ap- proved by the Board and as soon as a competent person can be obtained, this work will be carried out. School In the school year which closed in May the freshmen and sophomores finished their first year at Troutman, and the school year beginning in September found the whole high school at Troutman. This naturally brings about change. Formerly, the life of the Home revolved largely around the activities of the high school. Since this has been removed from the camp- us, it has been necessary to find again a new center to es- tablish a morale for the Home. The varsity athletic program having continued as a Home unit does assist in keeping up a unified esprit de corps. This transition has been much eas- ier than we had anticipated. This does not mean that there are not serious matters which have to be adjusted, but it does mean that there has been an effective procedure which has brought about a good wholesome relationship. It is the intent of the superinten- dent to coordinate the life of the Home and the life of the community so that we can have a fairly normal relation- ship with the community ac- tivities, As for the Elementary School on the campus, let the principal, Mr. R. G. Calhoun, speak through his report: “Since the High School stu- dents are now attending school at Troutman, it is pos- sible for us to set up a better organization for our Element- ary School. The sixth, sev- enth, and eighth grades are being housed in the old High School building where there is ample room for the teaching of music and science, together with the great advantages of a good central library. It is hoped that a central library may be set up in the Primary Building now being used by the first five grades. We will then be using all rooms in that building as the teaching of piano is carried on in one of the rooms. This new organiza- tion should relieve the cramp- ed conditions heretofore ex- perienced and present a bet- ter teaching situation in our Elementary School. The 99.38 per cent attend- ance figure for the last school year, and the 99.6 percent figure for the first month of this year attest to the contin- ued good health of our boys and girls. All of our students have had three polio shots and the yearly check-ups with fol- low-up work are factors in our health program. All stu- dents are having their vision checked this fall in order that proper examinations and cor- rections may be made as soon as possible. Interest and enthusiasm in our music program continues at a high pitch. It is encour- aging to see boys and girls eager to sing in special groups or in a church choir. The qual- ity of singing also improves with their enthusiastic re- sponse. It is a good sign when 1957-58 BARIUM BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Dec. 6—Barium Dec. 9—Mooresville Dec. 13—Thomasville Dec. 17—Asheboro Jan. 10—Barium Jan. 14—Davie County Jan. 17—Lexington Jan, 21—-Barium Jan. 24—-Spencer Jan. 28—Statesville Jan. 31—Barium Feb. 4—Barium Feb. 11—Children’s Home Feb. 14—Barium Feb. 18—Barium Feb. 21-——Mills Home Feb. 25—Barium Feb. 28—Barium at Mooresville at Barium at Barium at Barium at Children’s Home at Barium at Barium at Mills Home at Barium at Barium at Thomasville at Asheboro at Barium at Davie County at Lexington at Barium at Spencer at Statesville Games Begin at 7:00 P. M. students look forward with great anticipation to taking part in a school or church per- formance. The primary grades are working busily in a Rhythm Band and_ they should be ready to present a program during the coming year. Finally, let me say that the spirit and enthusiasm in our football program is unusually high this year. For the first time on record all high school boys reported for football practice this fall and a large squad of Elementary boys are working out twice a week. It may be that the fine record of our boys’ basketball team last winter added some incentive for greater participation.” It is with thanksgiving to Him that we report our work, and offer a prayer for God’s continued blessing upon the Home in all its life and work. Albert B. McClure, Supt. COTTAGE NEWS (Continued from Page 1) The holiday season has left us all smiling and happy. The bags of candy which Mr. Stowe brought us were as big as the Baby Cottage children. Santa Claus brought us more than ever. All Benny Joyner could say when he saw all his presents was—Great Guns! We are all making New Year’s resolutions. We say we are going to sweep our rooms and make our beds, hang up our clothes, and get to school on time. When we asked Miss Ford what were her resolu- tions she said that she wasn’t making any—she will have enough trouble making us live up to ours. We all hope that you had a Merry Christmas and a Hap- . py New Year. We did.

Miss Carpenter and Mr. R. G. Cal- houn turned again to the an- nual procedure of gathering the information of how many pounds had been gained and how many inches had been grown during the past year. Each child has his weight and height checked and recorded, then Dr. W. T. MacLauchlin from Conover, Dr. John Laf- ferty from Hickory and Dr. Robert Crawford spent the day on the campus and gave to each of the children a thorough physical examina- tion. Careful notes were made for the doctors and these were put on file in the student’s health record. It will be necessary to follow up with some tonsillectomies, a few recommendations for the examination of feet, one or two special requests concern- ing students’ ears for a spe- cialist to examine, etc. All in all, it was a thorough and competent physical examina- tion by outstanding young doctors who have rendered excellent service to the Home for a number of years.

C., FEBRUARY 1958 EVANS TO SUPPLY PULPIT The Session of Little Joe’s Presbyterian Church has se- cured the Reverend John Evans as supply minister for the Church. Mr. Evans is a graduate of Davidson College and the Union Theological Seminary. At the present time he is Professor of Bible at Davidson College and has agreed to assist the congrega- tion here by being its regular supply minister on the first and third Sundays of each month. The other services will be taken by guest ministers chosen for the occasion. In February on the second and fourth Sundays the Reverend Robert Turner, Synod’s Direc- tor of Christian Education, was guest minister. S. H. F. Conducts The Youth Sunday Service The Senior High Council under the direction of Miss Rebekah Carpenter, the Adult Adviser, conducted the Morn- ing Service in Little Joe’s Presbyterian Church on As- sembly’s Youth Sunday.

In developing the theme before the congregation, the following students participat- ed: Melvin McKenzie, Harold Evans, Beverly McClure, Ed- na Evans, Randy Shaw, Peg- gy Sellers, and Tom Finley.

The day was concluded with Miss Eloise Wells, Area Direc- tor of Christian Education for this Presbytery, speaking to the Young People of the Church in their Vesper Ser- vice. should be discontinued, please notify the Barium Office. a THEY WRITE BACK The following paragraphs have been taken from let- ters of former students received at the office in the last few months. They come from far and near. From Cleveland, Ohio:—“This letter is probably a little late in getting to you, although I hope not too late to buy Christmas presents for one of the boys at Barium Springs. I keep thinking in terms of our Christmas and almost waited too late..... Just recent- ly I was fortunate in getting a promotion at the Tele- phone Company and right now I am an installation foreman. The work is very interesting as I meet quite a few people during the day .... Ido not know if I told you, but I am on the Board of Deacons at Church. We are having as our yearly project this year an arch for the church-yard..... You won’t forget to send us a letter from one of the boys. Say Hello to everyone for us, and God bless you.” From Florida:—“Amidst the rush of getting settled with our second baby boy and in our new home at the same time, we have almost let a most important event pass by. We have not yet written for our annual Christ- mas letter from Barium. Please forgive us for this late request and rush a letter to us if you still have any. We always get great joy from this participation in Barium’s Christmas, even though we can’t be there to witness it. I can never forget how happy the good peo- ple of North Carolina made me every year at this time, and it would certainly be a disappointment to me if I ever failed you.” From North Carolina:—‘We celebrated our twenty- fifth wedding anniversary on December 17th, but as it came so near to Christmas we did not have a public celebration, and so we decided that instead of having Open House and friends bringing us gifts, we would celebrate it by sending a gift to Barium Springs. So, here is a check, and it is our Thanksgiving Offering to the Lord for such a happy life together.” From North Carolina :—“I hope that I can do a good job of remembering him. It means so much for a child to be remembered. My husband went to Barium Springs when he was nine years old and graduated from high school there. That makes me fee] closer to this boy than most other people would.” From Toronto, Canada:—‘Sometime between the years 1896-1898 I entered the Barium Springs Orphan- age along with three of my sisters. We were from Dur- ham, N. C. If it is possible, will you please send me a certificate, stating the date of my arrival and my age at the time of my arrival. While at the Orphanage I joined the Church and think I was baptized. If there is a Certificate of Baptism, please send that also. All of this information is vital for me to have in order to receive my Old Age Security. Thanking you in advance, and wishing you all good in the New Year.” From New Jersey :—‘I am one of the children who was with you around 1900. This is a small donation of appreciation for what was done for us.” From Toronto—“Thanks very much to you and your staff for the trouble and promptness with which you gave me such good service. I too hope this certificate will help my purpose. Now, thanks for your very nice letter. It is one of my fondest wishes to visit the Home again before my days on earth are done. I am indeed proud to say that I was raised in The Presbyterian Orphans’ Home, and I thank God for that fact. Indeed, it has been nearly fifty years or more since I was there. My memories of the Home are precious and most comforting. Thanks again and may God bless and keep you and all the children of the Home in good health so that the good and wonderful work may prosper. Rest assured that I shall try to visit the Home of my youth if [ am ever in range of it, and if you or any of yours should come to Toronto be sure to look me up and stop for a visit.” No.2 ALUMNI NEWS Elizabeth Woodall was married to Ervin J.

On Friday, January 24th, our girls’ bas- ketball team won their first game of the season. We beat Spencer 50 to 29. We got our report cards not long ago. Most of us were very proud, but some thought that they needed to study more. Now that Christmas is over everyone is looking forward to using the show tickets which the managers of the State and Playhouse Theatres give to us each year. We have four girls in our cottage who are going out for the Junior Basketball Team. They are Patsy Ross, Pamela Fair, Wilma Bush, and Patsy Porter. We hope they have good luck. We will try to have more news next month. You will be hearing from us again so keep on reading the Barium Mes- senger. The North Girls Infirmary Hi Folks— It has been quite awhile since you have heard from us. We got our report cards Mon- day. No one here made the Honor Roll, but the grades were pretty good. We certainly did enjoy the basketball game on Friday night when our girls beat Spencer 50-29. Our boys lost by six points, but it was still a good game. Each year in January the Young People have the Church Service on Assembly’s Youth Sunday. This year one of our girls had a talk. Four of the boys were ushers, and a senior boy presided. A junior girl played the organ, and sev- en boys and girls had talks. We think the whole program was done nicely and we are proud of our Young People. That is about all of the news for now, so we'll say “good-bye.” Howard Cottage Dear Friends: January is such a good month with all of our Christ- mas toys to play with and all of our pretty new clothes to wear. It is basketball season too. Those of us who are not old enough for the varsity team get a period to play every day, so we will be ready when the time comes. We have memorized the Hymn of the Month, “All Beautiful the March of Days.” The words come to us as we watch the changes of nature in the colors of the sky and the changes of the weather. We regret to say that we have not had enough snow to give much study to real snow flakes, but we study pictures of them and have great fun at every little snow flurry. The dining-room hostess and supervisor have planned a happy surprise for those of us who work in the dining- room, but try as hard as we can, we cannot find out what it is. Our sixth grade is study- ing Electricity. We enjoy tak- ing electrical things to school and observing how they carry electricity. Our boys have made an Electromagnet. Linda Roberts was eight years old on her birthday this month. Her aunts came and gave a supper party for the whole cottage. The party was wonderful, and Sherry says, “There’s one thing I will al- ways remember,—My first olive !”’ Love to all of you. The Howard Girls Rumple Hall Hello, From the Rumple Hall Girls! We got our report cards Monday, and most of them were real good. We had three girls to make the Honor Roll —-Lou Anna Bridgers, Joyce Ann Hughes, and Mary Ann McBennett. Some of the girls fell down, but they are going to improve next time. We are real proud of our Varsity Girls! They had their first victory on Friday night, beating Spencer 48 to 29.

It was agreed at this meeting that there was a need in North Carolina for an over-all social service organi- zation that would concern it- self with human life and con- ditions that affect human life —an organization that would seek to unite all interested North Carolinians upon “the threefold program of investi- gating conditions, awakening the people to the needs, and securing the remedies.” Dr. Clarence Poe was elected first president. The committees set up at this first meeting were indi- cative of the pressing social problems of the day, as well as of the foresight, courage, ambition, and energy of those early members. The commit- tees were: Church and Social Service, Illiteracy, Reforma- tories, Criminal Procedure, Orphanages, Feebleminded- ness, Improvement of Country Life, Child Labor, Prisons, Liquor Problem, Race Ques- tion, Public Health, Taxation, Women and Social Service, and Associated Charities. The Conference, then as now, had annual meetings and the programs were out- standing. In those early days on at least one occasion when the annual meeting was held in Raleigh while the General Assembly was in session, the final Conference session was held in the hail of the House of Representatives and the legislators were invited to at- tend. Conference members talked straight from _ the shoulder about the urgent need for a law providing a six months school term, the need for a better child labor law, the importance of public health work, and the need for reform in our system of taxa- tion. The Conference was res- ponsible for most of the social legislation enacted during those early years and has been an important factor in much that has been enacted in later years. Not only was the idea for the present county unit pub- lic welfare plan with a cen- tral State office conceived by the Conference, but the bill which became law in 1917 was drawn by a committee from the Conference. North Carolina pioneered in this field and its plan was follow- ed by many states. The first Conference leaders had had a part in 1911 in the setting up of a public health plan similar to the county unit welfare plan. The Conference worked dil- igently for the juvenile court plan; laws for the protection of children in industry; the six, the eight, and then the nine months school term; the Workmen’s Compensation Act; foster boarding home care; and the program for public assistance to the needy aged, blind, and dependent children in North Carolina. Expanding health facilities, including preventive services of state and local health de- partments and the state-wide medical care and hospital pro- gram, have also been among its interests, as has housing as an environmental factor. These are by no means all of the areas in which the in- Presbyterian Orphans’ Home Barium Springs, N. C.

An outstanding job was done by the Citizen’s Commit- tee of One Hundred on Prison Legislation which was active in the Conference from 1922- 1926. The work of this com- mittee resulted in some con- structive legislation affecting prisoners, with emphasis upon their rehabilitation. It is difficult to single out the many places where seme idea or action that originated in the Conference has affect- ed some phase of the social progress of North Carolina. One of its purposes has ai- wavs been to help educate the citizens of the State as to next needs in the field of social service. It has been the atti- tude of the Conference that if some needed job were done, the matter of credit for it is of no importance. This can be illustrated by the fact that the idea of having the Osborne Association make a survey of the prison system of the State originated in the Conference Adult and Juvenile Delin- quency Committee. The sug- gestion was passed along to the Prison Advisory Council, the survey was made, and the results are proving to be far reaching. As has been indicated, the Conference is now largely a study and planning group. There are, therefore, many areas in which the Conference initiates the program that makes for the beginning of the solution of social prob- lems, while an existing agen- cy, public or private, carries out the program. There are areas, too, in which the Con- ference makes the suggestion and promulgates the thinking regarding certain needs and the suggestion is adopted and followed through on by exist- ing agencies or institutions. In reality, there has been no change from the beginning in the purpose of this indepent volunteer social service organ- ization. Through the years the Conference has continued to work at filling the need that it was created to fill. Its ob- ject, as stated now in the con- stitution, is “... to initiate, foster, and coordinate move- ments for social progress in North Carolina.” While the committee structure has chan- ged somewhat and the com- mittees are not as numerous as they were in the beginning, yet the present four working committees can encompass all phases of social service, These committees are: Adult and Juvenile Delinquency, Child- ren and Youth, Health, and Special Projects. The Conference is the one organization in the State of- fering a common meeting ground for all who are inter- ested in social service—the lay person as well as the pro- fessional worker in both pub- lic and private agencies. Peo- ple from all areas plan and work together in an effort to extend the scope of social ser- vice in the State. During the past ten years the Conference has turned more and more to studies which serve as a basis for ed- ucating the people as to next needs. Matters of legislation are now channeled through the State Legislative Council of which the Conference is one of the twenty member or- ganizations. Beginning in 1948 and con- tinuing at the present time, the Conference has directed North Carolina’s participa- tion in all phases of the Mid- century White House Confer- ence on Children and Youth. It was named by the Gover- nor to do the job on the basis of its long and outstanding record of work on behalf of the children of the State. More recently the Confer- ence has compiled and distri- buted publicity on foster care for children and two brochui- es on guardianship. A major project started re- cently, with plans to continue it over a period of several years, is in the field of prena- tal care. A pamphlet on pre- natal care, “Giving Your Baby a Chance”, has been published and is being widely distributed in an effort to help reduce North Carolina’s infant mortality rate. This pamphlet, written in the lay- mans’ language, is available without charge, upon request, by single copies or in quanti- ty. Approximately 26,000 cop- ies have already been distri- buted by the Conference and in cooperation with numerous interested agencies and or- ganizations. A study of health insurance in North Carolina is another recent project. A full written report of the study was com- piled and this was condensed and published in a small bro- chure, “What of Health In- surance?”’, Approximately 12,000 copies have been dis- tributed. Individual copies are available upon request and it is available in quantity for a nominal sum. Among other current areas of concern of the Conference are: pre-school psychological examinations, moneys and fees collected in the public schools of the State, care of the chronically ill, special ed- ucation as a means of delin- quency prevention, an infor- mational folder on the avail- ability of constructive help for unwed expectant mothers, an a pamphlet on needs and resources for older people in North Carolina. A Conference ambition is a film to convey to communi- ties all over the State the scope of the foster care pro- gram, in an effort to secure additional foster homes, not only for the normal, but also for the exceptional child. Plans for this are fully deve- loped awaiting money to carry them out. In the meantime PAGE THREE there is an urgent need for this contribution to the foster care program. This very concise summary can serve only to acquaint you with some of the emphases in the work of the North Caro- lina Conference for Social Service. Its work is ever changing to meet changing times but its interest is con- stant—the whole broad field of social service in North Car- olina. North Carolina Conference For Social Service Post Office Box 532 Raleigh, North Carolina Mes. Alma Roberts Joins The Staff On February Ist, Mrs. Alma Roberts of Concord, N. C. joined the staff at Barium Springs as a substitute housemother. The first week was spent in visiting the cot- tages where she is to relieve the regular housemothers and in be- coming oriented in the life of the campus. Before coming to Barium Springs, Mrs. Roberts was a faith- ful member of the Bayless Me- morial Presbyterian Church in Con- cord, having served as president of the Women of the Church there. She expressed the desire, now that the duties of her own family no longer call her to render further service in the work of the Church, in living with the boys and girls at Barium Springs and serving as a housemother.

Glee Club Visits Campus The University of North Carolina Glee Club appeared in concert at Barium Springs on Saturday morning, March 8th, at 10:30 o’clock. The concert was one ina series which the blazer-be- decked Glee Club was present- ing during its swing through Western North Carolina on its Annual Spring Tour. Un- der the direction of Dr. Joel Carter, the 50-man touring organization offered a varied program of choral music and specialty acts. Included were lighter works of a folk, spirit- ual, or humorous nature such as “Shenandoah,” “The Man Without a Country,” “Vanka ’n Tanka,” “Ain-a That Good News,” “A Whale of a Tale,” and “Climbin’ up de Moun- tain.” Selection of serious and re- ligious music included ‘To Thee We Sing,” “Turn Back, O Man” by Gustav Holst, Arcadelt’s “Ave Maria,”’ and Randall Thompson’s “The Last Words of David.’’ Round- ing out the program were a number of Sigmund Romberg songs such as “Auf Wieder- sehn,” “One Kiss,” and “Stouthearted Men.” The young men also sang the Glee Club’s newly-adopted ‘“‘sweet- heart song,” a specially-styled setting of “Dixie,” and, of course, the UNC Alma Mater “Hark the Sound” as well as other college songs. Specialty numbers included a calypso group and a male quartet. The Spring Tour of the UNC Glee Club is the focal point in a semester of musical activities which promises to eclipse last term’s record of 18 public performances which in- cluded a Fall Tour through Virginia and Maryland and two television appearances. After the Concert the mem- bers of the Glee Club were en- tertained at lunch in the din- ing-room by the boys and girls of the Home. BARIUM SPRINGS, N.

Barium Will Receive Love Gift From Women Of The Synod The Board of Regents and the boys and girls of the Home were indeed happy to learn that the Women of the Synod of North Carolina would send a Love Gift to Barium to help buy bedroom furniture for two of the cottages which so desperately need new equip- ment. These two cottages are Rumple Hall and Howard Cot- tage. The living-room at Rum- ple Hall has been the special object of some folk in Wil- mington, and has been very attractive, but the bedrooms of this building are very bad.

The heginning of this idea arose in the minds of some women who visited the cam- pus and saw the conditions in which these girls were living and thought something ought to be done about it. The ad- ministration of the Home is exceedingly grateful that someone has come to the res- cue and is now going to make provisions for these two cot- tages to have comfortable beds and adequate furniture and also add a little color and warmth to the floors and to the walls with the use of rugs and pictures. It is particularly good to know that this will in no way affect the regular contribu- tions which come to the Home for its annual] operation. The Home must have the regular Benevolences and the Thanks- giving Offering if the daily needs are to be met, Now, the Women are going to make it possible, from the gift of their hearts, for the living condi- tions of the children to be brought up to normal. Father And Son Banquet Held In Dining-Room During Scout Week, the Father and Son Banquet was held in the big dining-room on the Barium campus. Four hundred places were made ready and fathers and sons from the Iredell County Scouting Area were present for the occasion. Mr. Stinson and his crew had prepared special pigs for barbecue; Mrs. Neill and her kitchen force had busied themselves tc make a delicious supper ready ; Mrs. Pope and her din- ing-room girls had the dining- room all fixed and attractively arranged for the occasion, and everyone declared it to bea grand success, It was a grand opportunity for Barium to render service to the commun- ity, for whenever the facili- ties of the Home can render a service to the community or to the Church, the people here are ready to do their job. Of course, this meant that the children had their supper in the cottages with their houseparents and that the dining-room girls stayed on for extra and longer work. They did not mind this as they were thrilled to see the Eagle Scouts and the other Scouts in uniforms and set their pret- ty heads in a tilting manner (Continued On Page 2) No. 3 Stinson Reports On Farm Activities Mr. Floyd F. Stinson, man- ager of the farm at Barium Springs, reports that he and his crews are awfully busy in these days since the exceed- ingly cold weather. There are one hundred and fifty acres of small grain which have had to be cared for. Eighty acres of corn land has been broken up and will have to be made ready for the planting of corn. The garden crew has prepar- ed twenty acres for special truck farming and are now busy with the plant beds and their early planting. Onions, radishes, peas, cabbage and other early vegetables have been planted and others will be planted in the immediate future, Terraces have been re- paired where the winter dam- age has affected them; fences around the pastures have had to be mended, and some frozen water troughs have had to be renewed. The lambs had to be cared for and the sheep and hogs have been taken care of during the cold weather. Ten Thousand Pine seed- lings have been set out in the reforestation and one thou- sand young Cedars have been planted. These Cedars were set out in order that the Christmas trees for the Home may be grown on the place. Top dressing for the grain and for the pasture and alfa)- fa has already been put out and the dairy barns and live- stock barns have been cleaned out and the fertilizer has been put on the farm. All of this activity in the early spring bids for a busy summer to cultivate and harvest the gar- dens and crops which have been planted. All in ail, Mr. Stinson re- ports that the six hundred acres now in cultivation of the eleven hundred acres owned by the Home is in good shape and that he anticipates a good season and a good vield from his crops and gardens in the summer of 1958. Alumni News Adelia Knight Jones and her family have moved to Or- lando, Florida from Greens- boro. They have seven child- ren and Adelia said that they would not take a million for one of them. They sent an an- nouncement of the arrival of Shelia Lynn on October 26th. They have bought a home at 414 West Oakbridge Road. Jimmy Harwell and LeNair Burns visited the Home re- cently. Jimmy has a very short time to complete in the service. LeNair is working in Wilmington. (Continued on Page 8) PAGE TWO UNDER THE STEEPLE The Reverend John B. Evans is serving the church as visit- ing minister on two Sundays of the month. During February, the Reverend Robert Turner, Regional Director for the Synod of North Carolina, was the guest minister on the other two Sundays. Alternating in March with Mr. Evans, will be the Reverend Thomas F. Clark, Professor of Bible at Davidson College, and the Reverend John Carriker of the Eastminster Presbyterian Church in Charlotte. The Men of the Church in their regular monthly session de- clared Messrs. Nance and Steele to be gracious hosts as they enjoyed a country ham supper. Mr. S. A. Grier, who has been spending the winter in Florida, spoke to the men of the group after the supper meeting. The Senior High Fellowship, with Miss Rebekah Carpenter as Adult Adviser, and the Pioneer Fellowship, with Miss Win- fred Ferguson as Adult Adviser, continue their regular ses- sions and programs of Youth Work. The Nominating Committee has made no report to the con- gregation, but it is understood that they have been quite busily engaged in trying to secure a minister for Little Joe’s Presby- terian Church. Special services for the Easter Season have been planned. Wednesday preceding Easter will be given over to special con- sideration of the life of our Lord during Passion Week. Elders A. M. and R. G, Calhoun have been appointed by the session to arrange for a service of worship with scripture and music, us- ing the choirs of the church and school. Easter Sunday morn- ing will bring the congregation together for worship in a Com- munion Service. New Pole Barn Now In Use The increase in the dairy herd and the additions to the beef herd have made it neces- sary to erect a new lounging barn for the dairy cows. A sixty by one hundred foot Pole Barn was designed and constructed alongside of the present Milking Barn. One- third of the area in the new barn will be used for the stor- age of hay; and, as this is fed out to the cattle, the moveable feed bins will push back and allow more lounging room in the barn. Leaders from State College, together with the County A- gents, assisted in the planning of this barn and have been down to look it over since it has been finished. They are quite satisfied with the man- ner in which it is built and fee] that it will render excel- lent service to the Home. Inci- dentally, it might be said that this is the only lounging barn in Iredell County, and prob- ably in North Carolina, which is equipped with a bath tub. That may sound a bit strange, but it is quite explicable when it is known that the old bath tub is a temporary arrange- ment for a watering trough. FATHER AND SON BANQUET (Continued from Page 1) as they walked in and out among the boys.

The pathetic life of our Lit- tle Joe Gilliland has been told in OUR FATHERLESS ONES in February, 1904, when he was taken from us by “The Reap- er, Death,” but the story of such a life is ever new, and so near to the hearts of our peo- ple, it will bear telling again. On September 1, 1901, two children were brought to our home, Janie Gilliland, aged 7 years, and Little Joe, her bro- ther, then about six years of age. Little Joe was a frail boy with a warm heart, a very ten- der way of saying and doing things, and his whole person- ality was so unique, he would have attracted attention any- where, and at Barium he was beloved of all the household, from Dr. Boyd down to the smallest Synod’s Cottage boys no bigger than himself. Joe was naturally shrinking and timid, was no athlete, but he was a favorite on the campus, and enjoyed the innocent play that seems most attractive to small boys. His loving heart just loved everybody about him. Little Joe had a very keen perception of “goodness and good things” and “badness and bad things.” The story is told of him that on one occasion one of the “big sisters” was teaching him his Catechism and told him to say in answer to a question: “The Devil tempted Eve and she gave the fruit to Adam.” Joe refused to say it, and when asked why, he answered “because it is a bad word.” Joe compromised on calling the arch enemy, Satan, in- stead of Devil. We wish we could have talked with Little Joe about the stars, for as he would go back to Synod’s Cot- tage after supper, he loved to look up into the heavens and talk about the stars. He never could quite understand “Where the stars went in the daytime,” for he could not take in the idea that the sun was brighter than all the stars, and if he could have gone down into a deep well, and looked up out of the dark- ness, he could find some of those very stars in the heav- ens that had not gone away. One night as he gazed up- ward he said, with tender pathos in his voice, ““When us gets dead, us’ll go up there,” and Little Joe has already soared through the star depths, into the “Land of pure delight.” Music was Little Joe’s delight, and he had a most sensitive ear to all good harmony. Not only would he catch the bright popular airs in our Sunday School books, but even music that bordered on the classic, appealed to him, and he was not long in learning tunes that were dif- ficult. On one occasion the piano in Rumple Hall was tuned just before Christmas, and the first time Joe heard it after the tuning, he listen- ed most intently for a while, and then said: “Is that the same piano?” When told some- thing had been done to it, his quick ear caught the improve- ment, and he was looking in- to “the why” of it. Little Joe’s favorite song was, “When the Roll Is Called up Yonder,” and how he de- lighted to sing it. We are quite sure he sings it now in Heaven having answered the call in his own dear little voice, that was so ready here to testify his love for Jesus. Little Joe had one dominant idea which he often expressed in his own words, ‘When I get a big man I’m going to build a church with a porch to it.” Many times did he affirm this, but it was through his early death that the fondest hope his dear little heart ever cherished in life was fulfilled. On Sunday morning, Feb- ruary 1, 1904, our dear Little Joe, most unexpectedly to most of us, was called “to go among the stars,” and find his place in the Heavenly Choir. He had not been well, but on Saturday seemed better, and sat up all day. When the other boys got up on Sunday, he begged to get up too, but it was thought best for him to lie quiet; yet he was told a place would be fixed for him. A big brother stood ready to carry him down. He noticed that Joe closed his eyes and seemed to be going to sleep. He took him up and carried him down, but it was our dear little boy’s last sleep. In less than three minutes, his little heart was still and his breath- ing hushed. A great sorrow settled down upon our home, for we had parted with one who had filled a large place in every heart. In Little Joe’s purse was found 45 cents he had saved up toward the building of a church. Dr. Boyd told so pa- thetically the story of his life, that money began to flow in, in large and small streams, and in 1906 the building of “Little Joe’s Church” was be- gun. In 1907 the church was completed and now stands a worthy monument to the memory of this remarkable child. While in the Synod’s Minu- tes it is put down as “Barium Springs Church”; it is best known throughout the Synod as “Little Joe’s Church,” and will doubtless be thus known for all time. In our cemetery, Little Joe was the first to find a resting place, although we had prev- iously lost two children who were buried elsewhere. In this year of 1958 Little Joe’s Presbyterian Church is celebrating its fiftieth anni- versary, and it is rejoicing in MARCH 1958 THE BARIUM MESSENGER Published Monthly by Presbyterian Orphans’ Home REV.

While the first building centered a- round the life story of Little Joe, the second building could very well center around the life story of one known affec- tionately as “Big Joe”. It was through the thinking, plann- ing and dreaming of Dr. Jo- seph B. Johnston, superinten- dent of the Home from 1922 through 1949, that the plans were laid and the money se- cured through the Memorial gifts for the erection of a new sanctuary. This new sanctu- ary stands as a memorial to thirteen thousand, two hun- dred and forty-five people who have been remembered by persons from all over the United States. Standing as a memorial to them, it contin- ues to carry the name of Little Joe’s Presbyterian Church which has been associated with the worship of this com- munity for over fifty years. As the cross high on the steeple is caught in the west- ern sun, its shadow falls near the resting place of both Big Joe and Little Joe whose lives have been intertwined with the sanctuaries and worship of Barium Springs. Carol Harwell Goes To Johns Hopkins For some time Carol Har- well, a member of the high school had been suffering from loss of vision. Dr. Rea- gan Stewart of Statesville found it necessary to send her to the Charlotte Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital. This examination resulted in the recommendation that Carol be sent to Johns Hop- kins in Baltimore for a special study. Miss Rebekah Carpen- ter, the caseworker, and Carol have just returned from the trip to Baltimore. While there, Carol was given an ex- tensive and thorough examin- ation in an effort to discover her difficulties. The reports are not in from the doctors in the hospital, but it is hoped that this will result in dis- covering the trouble and offer some remedy for the situation.

We are about to wind up basketball for the year. We played our best home game on Friday, February 21st. Our girls lost 38-39—they played extra good and it was a very close and thrilling game. Our boys won 44-38, and this was a “nip and tuck” game all the way through. We finally pul- led ahead six points at the last which proved to be the win- ning score. We are all looking forward to spring. We are anxious to get back to the swimming pool and to take nice spring walks. Some of us will get the spring fever which keeps repeating itself year by year. We had a big snow here last week, All of us were digging down in our lockers to find last year’s mittens and tobog- gans. The snow was about six inches deep and at times the temperature was 7 degrees be- low zero. We had a wonderful time sledding in the snow. Al- though we did take a few spills, it was still fun. This is about all the news for now. See you next month. Ronald Brown and the Boys of South Cottage Lottie Walker Cottage Hi Friends — We had a big snow Satur- day, and you should have seen the snowman in our backyard, although he was not as big as the fifteen foot one which the Quad boys built, still we were very proud of it. Due to the heavy snow, the Troutman School was closed all week until Friday morn- ing, so Janet, Shelby, Virginia Dare and Linda Lou took it easy while the little ones went to school here on the campus. We have had our physical examinations, and everyone seems to be in good health. We would like to congratu- late our Junior Basketball Team for winning their first two games, and we are proud to have two of our girls, Shir- ley Faulk and Margaret Ram- sey, on the team.

Miss Hilda Bernardo, president of the Alumni Association, met with the superintendent and case- worker of the Home and laid plans for this grand occasion. It was the unanimous voice of the former students to re- quest the Homecoming again on Sunday. The second Sun- day in August was chosen as the most suitable time for the return to the campus. Presicent Bernardo re- quested that all the children of the Home be a part of the family picnic this year, so plans are being made for all who return to bring their families and their baskets of lunch. The children of the Home will attend and bring their baskets of lunch and everybody will spread a picnic lunch after the morning Church Service on the cam- pus. Registration will begin in Fellowship Hall in the early part of Sunday morning. A special Sunday School Class for the returning students and friends will be held in the school auditorium and all will then gather for the Morning Worship in Little Joe’s Pres- byterian Church. After the picnic lunch on the grounds, the Alumni As- sociation will meet for the special program prepared by the Executive Committee of the Association. The boys and girls of the Home will have a part in the program and the president will make an annual report and hold the business meeting for the group.

Five of us made the Honor Roll last month: Mary Ann McBennett, Joyce Ann Hugh- es, Sue Bush, Mary Della Hyde, and Nancy Finley. The rest of us did not do quite that well. This is all the news for now from — The Rumple Hall Girls Howard Cottage Hi There— Spring is here again and we are hoping the flowers will be out soon. Our pretty yellow daffodils are popping up all around. School will be out be fore too long and we can hard- ly wait. We sit dreaming of the hot summer days when we may go swimming.

C. at the Fran- cis Marion Hotel on March 25, 26, and 27. Dr. W. Talia- ferrc Thompson, for thirty- six years professor of Christ- ian Education and Lecturer in Pastoral Theology at Union Theological Seminary and the immediate past Moderator of the General Assembly, was the keynote speaker for the Conference. In his inimitable fashion, Dr. Thompson dis- cussed with the assembled group in the opening session, “What Boys and Girls Want Today.” In the second day of the Conference, Mr. Hamilton Bissell spoke to the group on “Scholarships at The Phillips Exeter Academy’’ in the open- ing session. Following this, Mr. Alton M. Broten, Asso- ciate Director of the Group Child Care Project in the School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina, conducted an. Institute, using as his theme “Helping Those Who Need Us Most.” This In- stitute was for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. In connection with the Con- ference, the Board of Direct- ors of the Child Care Project convened and laid plans for the continuation of the Pro- ject. The Chairman of the Board reported that every participating member of the group, except one, was asking to continue and several others were seeking the services of the Project. Expressions of appreciation were extended to the University of North Caro- lina, to the School of Social Work and its Dean, Dr. Ar- thur Fink; to his associate, Dr. Alan Keith-Lucas, the Director ; and to the Associate Director of the Project, Mr. Alton M. Broten. One of the interesting high- lights of the business session was the report of the commit- tee appointed to review the history of the Conference and to make a report. Dr. M. A. Macdonald presented to each institution in attendance a forty-page copy of the most interesting notes which he had made, and spoke to the group concerning his work in com- piling the history of the Con- ference. Miss Mary Bruce Roberts of the Hillside Cottages in At- lanta, Ga. was elected Presi- dent to succeed the Reverend A. B. McClure of the Presby- terian Orphans’ Home at Bar- ium Springs. Mr. Everett (Continued on Page 3) PAGE TWO UNDER THE STEEPLE The special Easter Services were very helpful in enriching the lives of all those who shared in them. The Wednesday even- ing service prior to Easter, led by Dr. George Staples of Davidson, was devoted to a message on the Cross. On Good Friday at two o'clock in the afternoon the choirs of the Church and School, under the direction of Miss Charlotte Calhoun, led the congregation in a service of worship, The Senior High Fellowship planned and conducted an Easter Sunrise Service for the community at 5:45 on Easter Sunday Morning. The service began in the Sanctuary and concluded with a recession- al to the cemetery where the proclamation of Christ’s Resur- rection was again made from the head-stone and the benedic- tion pronounced, This service was particularly impressive for, as the worshippers made their way to the Church in the pre- dawn darkness, the bells of the high steeple sounded forth the aster music. Also, at the close of the service at the cemetery, the same music again was in the air from the tower and over the whole campus floated the Resurrection hymns. In the Morning Worship at the eleven o’clock hour in the Sanctuary the combined choirs, under the direction of Miss Calhoun, assisted by Miss Shirley Kearns, aided the minister in conducting the service of worship in commemorating the death and resurrection of Christ. Two sons of Barium were guest ministers during the month of March. On March 23rd, the Reverend John Carriker, who is now pastor of the Eastminster Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, was the preacher. After finishing at Barium, Mr. Carriker graduated at Davidson College and Louisville Pres- byterian Seminary. He has held pastorates in Missouri, Cali- fornia, Kentucky, Kansas, West Virginia, Ohio, and Texas. On March 30th, Dr. J. O. Mann was the guest minister. Dr. Mann finished high school at Barium Springs and then graduated from Davidson College and Union Theological Seminary. He has held pastorates in Virginia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. For more than twenty years the Synod of North Carolina was outstanding in its Religious Education Program under the leadership of Dr. Mann who was the Regional Direc- tor of the Synod of North Carolina. Kirnest Stricklin, now pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Hazard, Kentucky, and formerly a Barium Springs student, will be a commissioner to the General Assembly meet- ing in Charlotte. The chairman of the Nominating Committee made the fol- lowing statement to the congregation on Easter Sunday: “We would like to thank the members of the congregation for their help and prayers in the work which they have set us to do. We have visited many churches in the last few months. We made contact with one man and were disappointed that he did not feel led to come to us. We are not discouraged, but feel sure that, with the continued cooperation and prayers of all, we will succeed in finding the right minister for our Church.” PLEASE USE THIS BLANK IN REMITTING GIFTS PRR RN ica scsceic spac sienssiccuss wagearcettoseusiiosanies EEO ROE osiscislinciaisemcnipaines RIT LBs Re cassis vars sachin ied Sub ewes qiescetseccabeatevsnese DIOR Aticcccnuiione ERBTRARIVIID © Gy ov ssevicicsvedecrccerni ROME om Me prccerinsestbvindioics MRR OTOTIR se Gc slisssteccass aioe Send To Clothing, Clothing Funds - - Miscellaneous Gifts « « ......

C. was elected Vice-President, and Mrs. Myr- tice Price of Gould Cottage, Savannah, Ga. was elected Secretary. The Conference voted to accept the invitation of Virginia for the Confer- ence in 1959 to be held on March 24, 25, and 26 at the John Marshall Hotel in Rich- mond, Virginia. There was a good attend- ance at this annual meeting. At the roll call there were rep- resentations from Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Missi- ssippi, Georgia, Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and South Carolina. The Con- ference felt, however, that there should be some sort of review of the membership and organizational structure and passed a resolution to appoint a committee to make a study and report to the meeting in 1959. In the closing session, Rab- bi Allan Tarshish of the Beth- Elohim Temple in Charleston, and an outstanding commun- ity leader in the field of Social Welfare and Child Welfare in particular, gave an inspira- tional address to the group to close the Conference.

Six of us youngest girls are planning a happy surprise for the whole cottage. We won’t say what—but it is fun. We sang Palm Sunday mus- ic yesterday and are working on special music for our Good Friday and Easter Services. Happy Easter to all of you. The Howard Girls Infirmary “Miss Hoots, I’m itching,” has been a familiar line down here since we have been hav- ing the measles to visit us. Since the last time you heard from us, Donald Blalock has joined the working crew here. Having both of the twins working here can be confusing—sometimes David and Donald get one another’s work to do. We have had report cards this month. The twins did well on theirs. One of our big girls almost made the Honor Roll. The other girl did not get a report card since a defect in vision has been keeping her ga attending school recent- y. Since Spring is here, we are looking for some good weath- er so we can get outside more often. That is about all of the news for now. We will try to have you some more next month.

New children will be brought to the Home and new workers will come for the summer months. There are two college seniors who will graduate the first of June who will come to the campus to help with the Rec- reational Program during the summer. Mr. Russell Douglas from the Assembly’s Training School will also come to the campus to remain, not only for the summer, but possibly for an in-service training per- iod. He is a graduate of Flori- da State University in Agri- culture and has had a year’s study at the Assembly’s Training School, and hopes eventually to go to Brazil as an Agricultural Missionary. In the time at Barium Springs he plans to gain practical knowledge of farming and al- so render service in the work with the boys and girls of the Home. Mr. Douglas will be coming to the campus the lat- ter part of May to begin his work. Miss Mary Faye Stevenson has chosen a fine staff of teachers and will be conduct- ing the Vacation Church School, beginning immediate- ly at the close of school and continuing for ten days, this school will keep the children busy and instruct them in the things of the Church. There will be a great deal of farming, fencing, grass- cutting, repairing, sewing, washing, and cooking to be done during the month of June and everybody will be busy on his job. All the activi- ties taking place will round out an exceedingly busy time from the close of school until vacation time. Vacations be- gin Thursday, July 3rd, and will give the boys and girls an opportunity to have three week-ends at home with their folks before returning to the campus to get ready for Homecoming which is set for August 10th. pose. in this work?

C., MAY 1958 Carter Accepts Call To Little Joe's Church The congregation of Little Joe’s Presbyterian Church met on April 30th to hear and act on the report of the Nomi- nating Committee. Mr. Jack W. Crews, chairman of the committee, reported that a very careful and thorough study had been made and that the committee was unani- mously and_ enthusiastically presenting the name of the Reverend Hugh B. Carter, Jr. for the pastor of the church. After hearing other members of the committee, the congre- gation voted unanimously to extend the call to Mr. Carter. Upon learning of the action of the congregation at Barium Springs, Mr. Carter expressed his pleasure in receiving the call and stated that ‘under the providence of God and subject to his presbytery,” he would accept the call. Ar- rangements have been made for the Carters to come to oc- cupy the Manse about the first of July. Mr. Carter is a native of Georgia, having been born in Atlanta. He is a graduate of Vanderbilt University and began his vocation in business but felt a call to the ministry and went to Union Theologi- cal Seminary in Richmond, Virginia, graduating from there. He was ordained by Mecklenburg Presbytery and served as pastor of Sunset Hills Presbyterian Church be- fore going to South Boston, Virginia, to serve as the pas- tor of the First Presbyterian Church in that city. The com- mittee expressed the feeling that in a strange way God had led them to this man. The whole congregation feels that under the leadership of the No. 5 new minister, the foundation for the community related church can be laid and the work of the church made ef- fective, not only in the life of the Home, but in the life of the community. Mrs. Carter, the former Myra Greenawalt, is also a native of Georgia, having been born in Decatur, Georgia. She is a graduate of Florida State University. The Carters have two children, Myra who is finishing the second grade and Tim who will be begin- ning the first grade in the fall. ROGER MURDOCK CHOSEN FARM MANAGER Announcement has_ been made of the choosing of Roger M. Murdock to succeed John Floyd Stinson as manager of the farm at the Home. The superintendent and the mem- bers of the Board of Regents feel exceptionally fortunate in securing Mr. Murdock to supervise the big operation which the Home carries on in farms, gardens, orchards, and dairy. He is a native of Iredell County, having been reared near Barium. He is a grad- uate of State College and has served as Assistant County A- gent in Durham, County A- gent in Iredell County, and in Richmond County. For about a year he represented the Carolina Mill Producers As- sociation in Greensboro, and at the present time is the man- ager of the Dixie Liberty Plant Foods, Inc., in States- vile. Mr. Murdock and his family plan to move to Bar- ium Springs about the middle of July. The Murdocks have four children, the oldest a daughter of sixteen, and three sons, aged thirteen, nine and five. The farm, dairy, orchards and gardens constitute a major operation. There are 600 acres in cultivation, a Holstein herd of sixty—milk- ing forty-five, a beef herd of sixty — forty Whiteface and twenty Black Angus. There are around two hundred hogs raised each year, with one hundred of these going to the table, and with 1400 fruit trees on forty acres of land, and the farming and garden operations which take place, it is necessary to have a quali- fied person to supervise the work. Mr. Murdock’s training and experience qualify him to assume the leadership in this field at Barium Springs. It is hoped that with the comple- tion of the conservation dam, an irrigation system may be put in for the garden purpos- os, lt is also anticipated that the Hlor~ will get into the chicken ! asiness for its own use, raisiug broilers and pro- ducing eggs. It will be good for the com- munity to have the Murdock family in it and it will be good for these four departments of the farm to have his leader- ship and supervision. COTTAGE NEWS North Cottage Here are the North folks a- gain. It seems as though we don’t get our news in every month, so we will try to put some in this month. Saturday some boys and girls from Chapel Hill came to visit our campus. We en- joyed having them very much and are looking forward to a visit with them soon. Last Sunday some visitors from Mount Holly came to see us. We are always glad to have visitors. We had our first piano reci- tal on April 22nd, Mae Jolly, Judy Pinkston and Naoka Spencer played in it. We thought that they played real well. We had another piano recital on April 25th, and Wil- ma Bush played in this one. These are the girls who live at North Cottage; of course, many others were in the reci- tals. After the first recital, the Junior Choir presented some very nice music. Our apple orchard is a beauty spot on our campus. We usually make special visits to see it, but there has been so much rain this year that we haven’t had a chance to get over there. The North Cottage Girls Infirmary Hi Folks— Here we are again with the news. We all had a wonderful Easter and were so glad that it was a nice day. Since the weather has been so nice—ex- cept for some rainy days— not many people have been in the Infirmary. We are glad that everyone is well to enjoy the good weather. The twins have been having a new experience—they have been learning how to plant flowers and a little garden. The juniors have been busy with play practice. They are presenting a mystery comedy entitled “Lights Out’ on Thursday, May Ist. Since the last time you heard from us we have been to several programs. The Troutman Glee Club had their Spring Concert early this month. Later the seniors gave their play. We have had two music recitals here on the campus. We enjoyed all of these entertainments. That is about all the news for now, but we will have some more for you next month. So Long, The Infirmary Crew Howard Cottage These beautiful Spring days make us look up at the fragrant blossoms on _ our trees and remember, “Only God can make a tree.” You have heard what April show- ers bring? We have a large share of them coming for we have had rain, rain, rain— and what we grumble about— boots and raincoats — for many days! But in spite of the rain, there is joy in our hearts for nearly all of us got to sing or play in a recital. Four of us had piano solos and could burst with pride. Eloise Barefoot and Elsie Rannells baked their first cake Monday-—Good—M-mm! Vacation starts July 3rd and goes through July 22nd. We count the days until we go, and the days we will be there and wish they would never end. Our sixth grade teacher, Mrs. Troutman, has been ill for a week, but Miss Brew- ington, Miss Souther, and Mrs. McLean have been good substitutes. Hansel and Gretel was a red letter TV program for us. We enjoyed pointing out the difference to each other in Yasha Frank’s TV script and Hans Christian Andersen’s original play. We always hurry our dishes and chores to see Lassie on Sunday nights too. Good-bye for now and love to you all, The Howard Girls Rumple Hall We are enjoying the nice Spring weather which we have been having lately. Miss Sims, we are sorry to say, had to go to the hospital. She went on Wednesday, April 23rd. We were sorry to see her go. Her birthday was Sunday, April 27th. We gave her an over-night case. We had two recitals. One was on April 22nd and the other on April 25th. In the first one the following girls played: Joyce Ann Hughes, (Continued on Page Three) PAGE TWO UNDER THE STEEPLE The “Family Car’ loaded about thirty people for the S.H.F. Presbytery Rally which was held in the First Presbyterian Church in Hickory on April 20th. Good reports have been com- ing in from the Rally, especially the work that was done with the Adult Advisers in their Training Section. The rain washed out the picnic plan for the Parkway picnic, but a good substitute was offered. The members of the Senior High Fellowship attended the matinee performance of the Rodeo in the Coliseum in Charlotte, and then came back to the campus for a picnic supper. This was done in honor of the seniors and each senior received a miniature diploma and cap in recognition of his completing the senior high work at Bar- ium Springs. One of the features of the picnic supper were the ham biscuits which Mrs. Neill and her kitchen force had prepared for the group. Members for the new Council of the Senior High Fellow- ship have been chosen and will be given a training session under the direction of Miss Eloise Wells, the Area Director. Miss Carpenter will be the Adult Adviser again during the year. Dickie McKenzie, a rising junior, is president; Wayne Wright, a rising senior, is vice-president; Faye Hicks, a rising sophomore, is secretary; and Jim Kiser, a rising junior, is treasurer. Commission Chairmen are — Edna Evans, a rising senior, Julia Clendenin, a rising senior, Beverly McClure, a rising junior, Richard Blackburn, a rising senior, and Joe Ramsey, a rising senior.

THE BARIUM MESSENGER VALUES OF GROUP CARE (This article taken from the book “Readings for Houseparents of Children’s Institutions.’’) (Drawn from Reports by A. M. Broten, Consultant, Group Child Care Project, to the Junior Order Home, Lexington, N. C., December, 1956, and to Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton, 8, C., January, 1957.) Although not best for all children who must live away from their own homes, group care when functioning in the best in- terests of children and families can have special values which may not be found in another type of care and which are partic- ularly essential, at the time of placement, for certain children. Among these values are the following: 1. A wide variety of experiences and opportunities in being with groups of other children. When these are properly organ- ized and guided, a child may find acceptance, sense of being like other children, comfort, learning experiences, competition and encouragement, support, fun, control of own demands and drives, chances to lead and be led. In the right dosage and fla- vor, these can be especially beneficial to troubled youngsters. 2. Framework for observation and understanding. Many different staff persons working together but in different ways with a child provide the basis for coming to a better under- standing of the problems and needs of the youngster. Each person, working from the same frame of reference, can pool information and ideas and goals and thus achieve understand- ing and move toward more effectively helping the individual. 3. Availability of special help. Being prepared and set up to help children and families who have special problems, the in- stitution knows what to do, how to approach a situation, who to draw on for help, how to best mesh together services which are going to be beneficial. This may mean individual help from a caseworker, teacher, nurse, doctor, vocational training in- structor, recreation leader, or authoritarian person. It may mean on-the-campus help or may demand services of others located off-campus. 4. No pressure to form close relationships with adults. Staff members do not rely on each child for affection, appreciation, spontaneity. Other children help balance out the living ar- rangement. There is time for individuals to proceed at their own pace, This is very important for a youngster who is con- fused in his attitudes and loyalties toward his own parents and is not ready to form close ties with substitute parents. 5. Presence of many friendly and understanding adults. Be- cause there are several adults with whom the child comes in meaningful contact, he can usually find someone to whom he can respond. From this adult-child response, he can work to- ward a closer tie with other adults and even toward better feeling, in certain cases, toward persons outside the institu- tion. To achieve this value, the group care staff must work to- gether and have conviction about and respect for the contribu- tion of one another. 6. Regularity of the living plan. More so than most private families, an institution must have a certain routine and order- ly arrangement with which each person has a place and a part. Many things have to be done in a certain way at a particular time and by some individuals. Although there is always a lee- way and flexibility, there continues to be a framework which remains constant and steady. This framework can be very helpful to the confused and disturbed child. He gains some se- curity out of knowing that everyone is expected to do a job or follow a rule and that physical needs are going to be provided for at a regular time or on a regular basis. 7. Permanency and stability. The buildings, the organiza-. tion, the routine—can offer a jittery youngster assurance that he will be cared for, despite his own failings or mistakes. For children who have moved about or whose parents have been nomadic, this stability may be sorely needed. 8. Less personal attention. No matter how aware staff mem- bers may be of the problems, the needs, or the progress of an individual child, they are unable to respond to as much of what the child is thinking, saying, or doing as a parent or (Continued on Page Three) MAY 1958 THE BARIUM MESSENGER Published Monthly by Presbyterian Orphans’ Home REV.

Special guests of the evening were the varsity teams of the Troutman High School and the honor guests of the Home were the boys and girls who had played varsity and jun- ior basketball. Coach Archie M. Calhoun, acting as master of ceremonies, reviewed some of the highlights of the season and offered encouraging words for the squads of next year. It was announced at the close of the session that the boys varsity squad had chosen Wayne Wright as the perma- nent captain and Jim Bunnell as the most valuable player. Peggie Sellers was chosen permanent captain of the girls varsity and was also voted the most valuable play- er of the year.

This can work to the benefit of certain youngsters, whose behavior has created issues and made it impossible, in private family life, for adults to exist with them. In group care, certain traits do not wear as heavily upon the houseparent who can rely upon other children, at a partic- ular time, for affection and response. 9. Protection. Through its appearance and methods, the in- stitution is in a better position to offer protection to children who need to be free of pressures, conflicts, upsets, and threat- ening situations. This does not mean over-protection either but recognizes that some boys and girls have been unable to pro- gress or to grow because of unusual circumstances out of their own or family experience. The institution carries a greater stamp of authority than a boarding home, for example, and thus, for certain youngsters and families, may be of utmost service. 10. Meeting-ground for parental participation. Because the institution does not set up a family-type situation on campus, many parents who show capacity for planning and participat- ing and doing something constructive for their children may show greater readiness and willingness to work along with group care staff than with other forms of care. Their own jealousy and feelings of inadequacy and fears of losing their children are not aroused to the same degree. They can gain from observing what the institution does or from developing and maintaining a participating plan. In a good group care program, these values are there for certain boys and girls and families for certain periods of time. Children and their families should be helped to progress, as they are able, toward more norma! living arrangements. The institution cannot be all things to all children. It is un- reasonable to expect this type of care to provide the following : 1. A maximum of personal attention and consideration. 2. Close relationship between child and substitute parents. 3. Many easy opportunities for family sharing in planning and activities together. 4. Much privacy. 5. Un-routinized living. 6. Unlimited flexibility of hours and permission. 7. As much personal recognition and identification as might be desired. 8. Sense of values which a child might get in a good home. 9. Extensive opportunities for normal community relation- ships. There are children who need these benefits more than they do any which grow out of the values of institution life. Yet, they cannot live at home. For these children who can make a fairly easy adjustment in a private home and whose ‘own family” situation would not complicate the placement, foster family homes (boarding homes) have been developed. As time goes on and as we have sufficient good foster fami- ly homes available, it will be important to continually weigh the values of the institution and the foster home placement for a child and determine, thus, where a child could best be placed. In most instances, this will involve a decision worked out with the “own family.” Presbyterian Orphans’ Home Barium Springs, N. C.

The High School com- mencement closed campus liv- ing for the ten seniors at Bar- ium Springs. Five girls and five boys have spent a total of a little over ninety - two years at the Home. The short- est stay was three years and the longest was fifteen. It is some jump from the Baby Cottage to the United States Army, but that is what hap- pened for one of the boys. ive of these were honor stu- dents and one was co-valedic- torian and one was co-saluta- torian in the graduating class of over seventy at the Trout- man High School. Harold Evans came to Bar- ium Springs in 1950 from Mocksville. His older sister has already graduated from Barium and a younger sister will graduate next year. Har- old plans to enter the Air Force during the summer. Tom Finley is from Charlotte, having come to Barium in 1954. He was the co-valedic- torian of his class and plans to go to Davidson College iu the Fall. He has two younger brothers and a sister at Bar- ium Springs. Diane Kiser, the oldest of the three children in this family, came from Kan- napolis in 1948. She has re- turned to her aunt’s home and plans to take a business course in Concord. Shelby McEwen came from Clarkton, N. C. in 1946. She is the second sister to graduate and has one younger sister now in the Home. Shelby will be taking Technician’s training at the Memorial Hospital in Char- lotte. Melvin McKenzie, the co-salutatorian of the class, came from Raleigh in 1952. After a summer’s work at Camp Grier, he will enter Davidson College in the Fall term. Peyton Miller came from Glendale Springs in 1943, giving him the longest tenure of any member of the class. He volunteered on June 2nd for the Armed Services, thus getting his Army duty out of the way. Sue Rannells came from Winston-Salem in 1955.

Evans continued his services to the congregation in supplying the pulpit the first four Sun- days in June. He had been the regular supply for two Sundays a month during the winter and finished out the time before the coming of the new minister. Dr. George Staples, Chaplain of Davidson College, has been of invaluable assistance to the Church during the last six months. He has secured fine leadership for the Church and has himself come to the campus for Prayer Services and Morning Services. The congregation was particularly pleased to have him preach the sermon at the Church on the day that the seniors were worshipping for their last time in Little Joe’s Church as members of the Home. Because friends have been generous, a large number of young people have been able to attend the Church Camps. The following young people attended the Senior High Camp: Rich- ard Blackburn, Judy Bolton, James Bunnell, Julia Clendenin, Edna Evans, Faye Hicks, Jim Kiser, Beverly McClure, Dickie McKenzie, Joe Ramsey, Randy Shaw, Wayne Wright.

Benton, Jr. was installed as the new president of the Board. Mr. Benton, the representative of Winston- Salem Presbytery, is an Elder in the Highland Presbyterian Church and the Executive Vice-President of the McLean Trucking Company. The re- tiring President, Fred A. Long of Lenoir, had served eight years and was ineligible for re-election to the Board by reason of the rules of the Sy- nod of North Carolina. Also retiring from the Board for the same reason was Mrs. J. H. Matthews of Gastonia who represented the Kings Moun- tain Presbytery. The Board expressed to these its sincere appreciation for a most excel- lent contribution to the life of the Home. The Board heard the report of the Superintendent and the Treasurer, A budget for the year 1958-59 was adopted and ordered sent to the Steward- ship Committee of the Synod’s Council. The President of the Board was requested to ap- pear before the Committee on Finance of the Synod’s Coun- cil to discuss with them the budget structure and the fi- nances of the Home; also, to present to the Council and the Synod the report of the Home in their regular meetings res- pectively. The various committees of the Board made their reports affording the members a full picture of the program of the Home. Particular interest was manifested in the graduation of the ten seniors and in the new school plan wherein the boys and girls of the Home attend the consolidated school at Troutman. The next regular meeting of the Board will be on Thurs- day, November 13th. Honor Roll For Six Weeks Ending May 19 First Grade: Carl Dickson, Eddie Webb, Mary Ann Mc- Bennett.

Reception Given For Carter Family The Fellowship Hall of Lit- tle Joe’s Presbyterian Church was beautifully decorated for the important occasion in the life of the Church. The Rev- erend and Mrs. Hugh B. Cart- er had come to live in the manse, together with their two children, Myra and Tim. The church family wanted the opportunity of greeting the family of the manse. Miss Re- bekah Carpenter received the guests at the door and pre- sented them to Mr. Jack Crews who was chairman of the Nominating Committee, and he together with Mrs. Crews, headed the receiving line. In addition to the Crews and Mr. and Mrs. Carter, there were also in the receiv- ing line Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Lowrance, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Ben Gibbs, Mr. and Mrs. I. B. White and Miss Mary Arthur Sims. These folks represented respectively the Session, the Diaconate, the Men of the Church and the Women of the Church. Mrs. Roger Neill and Miss Patricia Buercklin pre- sided at the punch bowls and Miss Kate Taylor spoke to the guests as they left the door. The entire congregation, to- gether with visitors and friends of the community, made their way to and from the reception hall from seven to nine. It was indeed a lovely evening for the Church family and one that bids well for fine fellowship for years to come. BARIUM SPRINGS, N.

COTTAGE NEWS Lottie Walker Hi Friends— Here we are back again with the cottage news. Donna Rae Edmisten has joined the Lottie Walker girls. She is from Hickory and is fourteen years old. Judy Smith went to Pioneer Camp the first week and Mar- garet Ramsey and Peggy Bridgers are going the second week. Shelby McEwen is pay- ing us a visit. She is going to report for X-ray training on June 23rd. We wish her good luck in this training. Well, everybody is getting ready for vacation. We have had a few beans to snap, but not enough to hurt our fing- ers. Since this is the July-Aug- ust issue of the Messenger it will be September before we see you again. Have a happy Summer! The Lottie Walker Gir!s Howard Cottage Hurrah for the good old summer time when all of us want to make a rhyme. Eloise says: “When you feel mad,— Sing and you’ll be glad.”” What with folk songs and dances, fun songs and classics, piano playing and floor sweeping, there is no time for worrying or fretting. There are beans to string and peaches to eat, skating to do and a talent jamboree to share. But the coolest thing of all is swim- ming. Most of us have passed a swim test and the rest of us expect to be ready by vacation time. While some of us are writ- ing, Paulette and Lois are making their birthday cake, both are thirteen years old this June. That cake smel!s so good! We have a pretty new Bon- nie in our cottage — eight years old and in the third grade. Linda likes having a pal who is the same age and grade as herself. While telling our house- mother that we would sing “For the Beauty of the Earth” in the choir, one girl said, “Our side is going to sing the discount (descant) !” We must do some more packing for vacation. We have been packing for weeks, but it is a funny thing—we have to take something out and then pack again. Love and happy vacation to you all. Howard Cottage Girls Lees Cottage Hi Folks— We hope that you are hav- ing a nice summer. We sure are glad that summer is here. The swimming pool opened about three weeks ago. We go swimming on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Satur- day. We are glad that nearly everybody has a place to go on vacation this year. Also, we are glad to say that we have six boys who work on the campus. They are —Charles McBennett, David Blalock, Donald Blalock, Lar- ry Ruff, Clarence Wilkins, and Mike Heritage. We also No. 7 The Murdocks Have Moved In The Murdock family has landed in Barium Springs. The big two-story house at the north end of the campus was made ready and is now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Roger Murdock and their four children. Mr. Murdock is the new farm manager, succeed- ing Mr. John Floyd Stinson who is retiring. It is a fortun- ate thing for Barium Springs to have this fine family on the campus and to have this ex- cellently trained leader’ to manage the farm, dairy, or- chard, and gardens. The four children are al- ready learning the ropes at Barium and are becoming a real part of the campus life. Bette Eugenia will be in the eleventh grade, Roscoe Win- gate, known as “Frosty”, will be in the eighth grade, Alice Marie will be in the fifth grade, and Roger Wilson, Jr., known as “Rusty” will be a pre-schooler. Thus, with the six Mur- docks neighbors to the four Carters, the north end of the campus has come to life again, and how delightful it is to have these folks in the com- munity. have a new housemother. Her name is Mrs. Roberts. She is very good to us. One of our boys left about a week ago to go home with his people. His name is Bill Rannells. So long, Lees Cottage Boys VACATION TIME COMES TO THE CAMPUS For weeks the excitement had been rising like a swelling crescendo and reached its zen- ith on July 3rd as the big Greyhound Bus rolled in on the campus to load the first vacationers at six o’clock in the morning. Passengers for Gastonia, Charlotte, Sanford, Fayetteville, Laurinburg, Hallsboro, Wilmington, and other points east were all packed, polished, shined, and ready to ride. From then un- til 8:50 in the evening the children were making their way from the campus by bus and car to various points in the State for a visit home. For six weeks, Miss Rebek- ah Carpenter, the caseworker, had been corresponding with parents and relatives and guardians in making the plans. Schedules had _ been made, bus tickets had been bought, lunches had_ been packed, suit-cases had been se- cured, and a thousand and one details had been attended to, and the boys and girls were on their way for the vacation period. It is the policy of the Home each year to try to place the boys and girls with their own relatives in their own home community for the two and one-half weeks that they have to be away from the campus. If it is impossible to place the children with their own people, a special effort is made to place them in their own home community with some people of their own church. When neither of these is possible, then the invita- tions which are so graciously extended are accepted for those who are able to be away from the campus. This year we got down to a skeleton crew of eight boys who helped to take care of the dairy, spray the apples and peaches, and mow the grass. Three children who were admitted shortly before the vacation period started had not intended to go and they have joined the other eight, making for a happy family on the campus during the ab- sence of the others. The strange quiet over the grounds and through the buildings gives this place a sort of eerie feeling, but after the shakedown run of the first few days, the group be- gan to find its own pattern and form a happy friendship for the vacation period. Straw rides, watermelon cuttings, swimming parties, picture shows, and mountain trips are the order of the day during the whole of the season, so that the time at Barium dur- ing the vacation period is a very wonderful experience for the boys and girls. This is July-August issue— next one will be in September. PAGE TWO UNDER THE STEEPLE Sunday morning, June 29th, brought the new minister, the Reverend Hugh B. Carter, Jr., to the pulpit for the first time. His first service was the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper with the new congregation, At the meeting of the Senior High Fellowship on the same Sunday, Mr. Carter installed the officers and members of the Council. The following young people will be members of the Council in the coming year: Dickie McKenzie, Wayne Wright, Jim Kiser, Faye Hicks, Beverly McClure, Judy Clendenin, Edna Evans, Richard Blackburn, and Joe Ramsey. Miss Re- bekah Carpenter is the adult adviser for the group. The congregation has expressed its gratitude to Dr. George Staples at Davidson, N. C. for providing ministers during the time that the church was without a pastor. Appreciation was also expressed to Dr. John B. Evans for his supplying the pul- pit on alternate Sundays for three months and then taking the first four Sundays in June. Two of the girls from Howard Cottage recited the Cate- chism. Mrs. Johnson, their housemother, presented them for the awards. Sherry Ross received a copy of the Bible for re- citing the Shorter Catechism and Carol Watts received a copy of the New Testament for reciting the Introduction to The Shorter Catechism. The Session voted not to hold services during the first three Sundays in July when the children and staff members are on vacation. This column will continue as a feature of the Barium Mes- senger and in September at the next issue of the paper will be written by the minister, Reverend Hugh B.

(Prepared by the House- parent Staff, Presbyterian Children’s Home, Barium Springs, N. C., and A. M. Broten, Consultant, Group Child Care Project, in Work- shops, September 9-13.) The houseparent position embodies certain characterist- ics which make it different from many other pursuits. Many individuals have been able to be successful house- parents and to bring help to many boys and girls. Respon- sibility for creating an effi- cient position lies both with the administration of an in- stitution and with the house- parent. By recognizing what needs to be done, both parties can move toward better care for children. ALUMNI NEWS (Continued from Page 1) = on the campus recent- a. Charles Faircloth and his wife visited Barium on Sun- day. They are living in Golds- boro. Charles Ward, recent grad- uate, who is living with his sister in Baltimore was a vis- itor on the campus. Robert S. Curry of Shelby was a visitor on the campus. Notice has come to us of the death of Mrs. George Harmon of Charlotte. She was Lottie Donaldson and entered Bari- um soon after the Home open- ed, and was the first child to come from Charlotte. She was a loyal member of the First Presbyterian Church. Melvin McKenzie, who graduated this year from High School, is working at Camp Grier this summer. Louise Bradshaw graduated from Montreat College in May. She is planning to teach this fall. A letter from Clara (Man- gum) Ausdenmore (Mrs. W. C.) states that they are now living in Craughton, England. Her husband is the Mainten- ance and Supply Officer for the 1230th. They have two little g.rls, Sheri and Vicki. Sylvia Wells graduated from the Miami Edison Senior High School on June sixth. Bobby McEwen from Clarkton was at Barium for commencement. Ernest Austin and Ralph Joyner, who have completed their time in the Service, spent a few days at Barium. Nellie Sellers Bell and little girl from Camp LeJeune were at Barium for commencement. Lts. Gilda and Gloria Whit- field are stationed in Denver, Colorado. They are in the Nurses Corps. What’s So Different About Being a Houseparent? I serve around the clock. Al- though I may go to sleep when the children do, I am on call and feel the responsibility for them. I must live in. My room or apartment is in the same building in which I work. My room, besides being my bed- room or living room, is also my headquarters for my work, I usually carry the immedi- ate responsibility myself. I do not usually have a husband or an assistant who may come in later in the day to relieve me with the children or just to share adult ideas and view- points with me. My total personality is ex- posed and also is extremely important in my work. I can- not hide myself or any part of myself. Although there are other adult people on the campus, I have little time during the day to be with them or to visit with them. When I do, I start talking about my children and the other houseparent does too—we just can’t avoid it. Much hostility comes my way which, basically, is not directed at me. Yet, it is hard to accept it, especially from children with whom I have spent much time and effort to get to knuw and show regard and concern. What I do in my group oft- en has an effect or repercus- sion elsewhere on the campus. My responsibility interacts with so many other adults. Even though I share my re- sponsibility for my children with the supervisor, case- worker, and the superinten- dent, I feel my responsibility very heavily and am especial- ly sensitive to criticism or comments about what I have done or not done. I live in a “glass house.” It is also a public museum, at times. We want people from the outside to know us and to see where we live. But this, too, complicates our life very much. : I always live with some crisis or problem. With so many children, there is always something to solve each day. Quiet, serene moments are few and far between. Because my charges are children, they do not always show appreciation for my ef- forts. I try to help them in de- veloping this sense, but rea- lize, too, that true apprecia- tion on their part may not come until they are much old- er. I must be able to work well JULY-AUGUST 1958 THE BARIUM MESSENGER Published Monthly by Presbyterian rphans’ Home REV. ALBERT B.

White Durham _.--..Olarkton with other adults on campus —even those I do not agree with or who appear to offend me. I find that I cannot be too alarmed over the limita- tions I see in those around me. I need to be able to handle a group as well as an individ- ual. A youngster may do something with his group- mates that he would not do alone. I have to be a group leader. My time appears to be tak- en up with handling my prob- lem children, and I often do not have time for the more responsive, cooperative young- sters. Those who need me most are often the least at- tractive personalities. Although the institution wants to provide me with working materials, I may have to wait long periods be- fore I have what I need. I must have the patience to wait. What Must I Be Like Before I Accept the Job? Equipped with good health. Optimistic. Able to put theory into practice. Interested in children. Interested in adults. Tolerant—but not indiffer- ent. In possession of outside in- terests. Equipped with _ hobbies, skills. Objective. Willing to give more than receive. Open to learning. Willing to overlap responsi- bility. Fair, Able to handle things di- rectly and honestly. Ready to work. Pesees to be loyal and devot- ed. Confident in self. Patient.

(Continued from Page 2) What Must the Institution Do About My Job? Clearly define it—showing me where my major responsi- bilities lie and also where I must overlap with other per- sonnel. Give me a group of such size and content that I can realistically assume responsi- bility for it and be of help to the individuals. Provide me with facilities and materials which make it possible to live comfortably and effectively with a group of children. Streamline methods of pro- curing needed supplies, ma- terials, and repairs, so that my requests are not held up merely through red tape. Offer me good supervision, including orientation when I am new, support in trying sit- uations, regular opportunities to discuss my experiences in- dividually and in groups. Keep me informed so that I know what is going on about the campus and with the insti- tution in general. Provide me with ways to develop as a member of the “team,” such as_ through group meetings of various kinds. Offer means whereby I may receive honest recogni- tion and appreciation for my work and also incentives and immediate goals to work to- ward. Provide me with training opportunities on a planned basis so that I can grow in my knowledge of my job. Offer me adequate pay for my services so that I can be self-sufficient, pursue my own interests, and make some preparation for my own fu- ture. Give me living quarters which allow for my need of privacy and comfort. Schedule for me regular time off, so that I can plan and generally expect to have such time for personal pur- poses. How Must I Conduct Myself in My Job? In obtaining help and guid- ance in my work, I must fol- low the lines of communica- tion or “channels” which the institution has set up. I must settle down to the job in my cottage to the ex- tent that I feel content and do not seek constantly opportuni- ties to be on the move. I must be able to find satis- factions in daily association with the children. Also, it is necessary that I maintain outside interests and discipline myself to do inter- esting things outside the in- stitution at regular intervals. As a problem or misunder- standing arises with another staff member, I should seek, often with help of the super- visor, to talk this out with the other person and not expend my feelings on to other people on campus. I must try to continuously evaluate what I am doing and find opportunities to learn from others. My job will become easier and more effective if I can de- velop interests and skills in working with children as in- dividuals and in a group. I must seek an understand- ing of each child—because only with that, can I live with difficult youngsters. It is important that I be honest with children and rec- ognize when I do not have the answers. In general, however, I must feel confident in hand- ling my group. Best results can be achieved if I am prepared to give and help each child in my cottage as he needs it, without play- ing favorites. It is my responsibility to look ahead and plan for to- morrow with new ideas, ac- tivities, projects available which may be used if need be. I must learn to recognize differences in children, so that I can allow for this in my ex- pectations. My own schedule should provide time for privacy and for rest. A worn-out house- parent cannot do much for children or for herself. My work with other adults must include sharing of infor- mation and joining in com- mon efforts and decisions, ever: when the latter may not be in total agreement with my own ideas.

You will find enclosed $...............::::-:seeseeeeee in memory of Name of Deceased Address Date of Death Survivor to be written Address Relation of survivor to deceased One giving memorial Address Of What Must I Be Convinced ? To serve in this type of em- ployment, I must have a con- viction that the goals and ob- jectives of the institution are right and that it truly has the capacity of serving and of helping children and _ their families. I must see its worth and thereby know, too, that my efforts day-by-day in the cottage and on the campus produce results. I must be convinced that every person is worth-while and that his differences are as important to him as his conformities. I must under- stand that there are reasons for the cther fellow’s behav- ior. I must be confident that, within myself, I have the abil- ity and the inclination to help others, for their sakes and not for my own. June Memorials Adams, Mrs. Grace, Charlotte Mr. and Mrs. W. E.

Be- cause of the illness of the min- ister, Reverend Hugh B. Car- ter, the superintendent of the Home, Reverend A. B. Mc- Clure, presided at the Morn- ing Service. Reverend Ernest Stricklin, a former student of the Home and at present pas- tor of the First Presbyterian Church in Hazard, Kentucky, had been invited to be the guest minister. The congrega- tion agreed that the sermon entitled “A Personal Heri- tage’ was a grand message brought to the assembled folk. At 12:30 p. m. the long pic- nic table under the big oaks back of the Lottie Walker Building groaned with food which had been laid out by the visiting alumni and the dietician and her staff. Over a thousand pounds of meat had been barbecued and a spe- cial friend of the Home had contributed ice cream for the occasion. A ten-year old boy coming away from the table with his hands over a well- rounded stomach said “This is the best dinner I have had in a long time.” At 2:00 o’clock the Alumni Association held its annual meeting in the Elementary School Building. The officers had agreed that so many things had taken piace in this (Continued on Page 2) Alumni News Brenda Kay Barnes was born May 21st to Paul and Elsie Barnes, 1001 A Tipton Street, High Point.

Or perhaps we should say that folks are humming. There’s a new hymn being sung here and there, thanks to Miss Charlotte who has taught it to our choirs, and to Miss Pat who sang it for Prayer Meet- ing, and to Mr. R. G. who led the Wednesday night congrega- tion to memorize the first stanza. The new hymn is “They Cast Their Nets on Galilee”. Still speaking of Music under the steeple, we are mighty proud of our Chancel choir. Going to miss the two “Macs” when they take off to college this month. We’re already miss- ing Mrs. (Shirley Kearns) Price and Mrs. Steele, who are tem- porarily in absentia. The Little Girls’ Choir looked and sound- ed like an angelic host when they helped with the anthem dur- ing morning worship last month. Donald Frazier is Captain of the Usher’s Guild which has been enlarged to include Douglas Byrd, Henry Harris, Ken- neth Joyner, Lacy Lentz, and Dickie McKenzie. Other mem- bers of the Guild are Richard Blackburn, Jim Blake, Jim Bun- nell, Buddy Cochran, Joe Ramsey, Randy Shaw and Wayne Wright. Elder Ike White and Deacon Donnie Bolton are officer advisers to the Guild. Mike Morgan is the new Pioneer Prexy, with Jane Webb as Vice President, and Susie Blackburn and Joey Vecchio as Pro- gram Chairmen. The Pioneers along with Miss Winnie their adviser and Gernie the good bus driver, were guests of the Pioneers at the Waldensian Church in Valdese August 17th. In addition to worship there were games and supper together, and everyone had a wonderful time. Senior Highs, with their adviser Miss Beckie, took off on a hayride to one of the recreational centers near Concord one Saturday afternoon. The trucks, loaded with 40-odd (?) senior highs, watermelons, picnic lunch and hay were driven by Rog- er Murdock and W. A. Gibson. A minor deluge dampened no spirits. Some in the party could find no dry straw on the re- turn trip and one in particular answered to the name “Wet Dog”! Others got a little strawy behind the ears. Swimming and golfing were popular with all, and the time to return was popular with none. : Former pastor Robert R. Collins and his family were on campus for a few days during the August vacation and receiv- ed a warm welcome. Former student here, Ernest Stricklin, now pastor at Hazard, Kentucky, was the preacher of the morning at Homecoming and delivered a message which touch- ed all who were present. ‘ : Mr. A. M. Calhoun conducted Prayer Meeting while the minister was attending a preaching clinic and films were shown which related to the current series of Wednesday night messages on the Gospel according to Mark. a In a Question-Answer program conducted by the minister for the Senior Highs, this question was handed in: “How can we become more like Christians?’ The answer is found in First John, Chapter Three, Verse Seven: “Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God.” COTTAGE NEWS Howard Cottage Summer Crowded With Activities And Closed (Continued from Page 1) Hurrah for school days a gain! Some of us are glad and some are sad and some don’t know whether they are glad or sad. The big boys of our farm and orchards have brought wonderful watermelons, cant- aloupes, peaches and apples to our cottages for extra eating. And our meals have been so good with fresh corn, beans, tomatoes, okra, and all the other good vegetables from the truck farm. Everybody in our cottage got to see Tom Sawyer. Then we talked and talked about the things we liked best. The Fair will be our next big event. We are hoping for dry weather on Barium Day, but wet or dry, they always give us a grand time. The Howard Girls With Championships The campus was kept hum- ming all summer with various sports and recreational activi- ties. Mr. Steele, assisted by a Davidson graduate, Mr. Ben Farley, and Miss Charlotte Calhoun, the teacher of Public School Music, kept things moving. There was singing and dancing, skating and swimming. There were organ- ized sports and _ individual contests. Just before vacation the whole family was enter- tained with the Talent Night Program, closing the first half of the summer. In the second half, contests were scheduled in multiple activities and individual win- ners were awarded prizes and the champions were crowned for the summer’s activities. The Junior-Senior Life-sav- ing Course was under the di- rection of Mr. Farley who had qualified as an instructor and a number of the boys received their awards after completing the course. THE BARIUM MESSENGER HUNDREDS RETURN FOR HOMECOMING (Continued from Page 1) building it would hold fond recollections for those who would assemble. At the re- quest of the officers, the stu- dents of the Home gave a fif- teen-minute program for the visitors, A report was made on the project to restore the Barium spring and the alumni enthusiastically voted to sup- port this project again with an offering and to look to- ward the establishment of this as an historic spot. Miss Hilda Bernardo, the retiring president, turned the gavel over to the newly elected pres- ident, LaFayette Donaldson. Wallace Twombly continues as secretary-treasurer. Football Outlook Better This Fall Coach R. G. Calhoun re- ported at the beginning of practice in the football season that his squad was showing the best spirit he had ever seen in the beginning of prac- tice. Though the losses from graduation cut into the man- power of the squad it was not as severe as in former years. The Coach and the boys be- lieve that the year’s outlook is very much brighter than last year. With less than forty boys to choose from it is difficult to hold a place in the strong con- ference in which Barium is a member. Competing against other schools that range in en- rollment from 400 to 1100, makes the job for the Barium Tornadoes even harder. This very fact, however, has the boys excited and they have pledged themselves this year to demonstrate what a small group banded together can do against stiff competition. On- ly the season’s record when finished will indicate to what extent they have attained their goal, but those who come in contact with the Barium teams know that they have a full-size job on their hands. Coach R. G. Calhoun, a graduate of Davidson College, and a member of the staff at Barium Springs for more than a quarter of a century, still believes in making the athletic program a means for developing good citizens. He, together with Coach A. M. Calhoun who directs the Bas- ketball Program, afford fine leadership for the Athletic Program of the boys and girls of the Home.

Bro- ten for a week during the lat- ter part of September. This is the third successive year that this program has been in ef- fect. Mr. Broten is related to the University of North Caro- lina and the Southeastern Conference in the Child Care Project which the University and the Southeastern Confer- ence are carrying on jointly. Highly trained in his field and very successful in his service to this project, Mr. Broten has led the housemothers of the Home in considering their work and how best to serve in this particular place. Two hours each morning during the week were spent with the group in group study. The afternoons and evenings were given over to individual conferences and discussions with members of the staff. This service render- ed by Mr. Broten in this type of training is of invaluable aid in learning how to carry on the work in this Home. Four Attend N. C. Conference The annual meeting of the North Carolina Conference for Childcaring Institutions was held in Kinston, N. C. at the Kennedy Home. A large attendance from all over the State gathered for the morn- ing session to hear the ad- dress by Dr. Alan Keith-Lucas from the University of North Carolina. Reports were heard from the Department of Pub- lic Welfare through Dr. Ellen Winston, the Commissioner, and from the _ Children’s Home Society of Greensboro through the caseworker, Miss McCoy. After a delicious barbecued chicken dinner, the Conference reassembled for a business session and then divided into special groups for discussion and study. In the business session, John Vogler, superin- tendent of the Home and School at Union Mills, was elected president, Charles Kearns, superintendent of Mills Home at Thomasville, was elected vice-president, and Miss Mabel Bean was elected again to serve as sec- retary. The Conference voted to accept the invitation of M. T. Lambeth, superintendent of the Methodist Children’s Home in Winston-Salem, for the meeting in 1959. BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C., OCTOBER 1958 CONCORD MEN’S RALLY BRINGS OVER SIX HUNDRED TO CAMPUS From five o’clock until sev- en-thirty on September 30th, folks were filing down the line in the big dining room for a barbecue supper. The an- nual rally of the Men of Con- cord Presbytery was in ses- sion. Select pigs had been cho- sen and carefully prepared for barbecueing. The dietician and her staff had added to the menu and by the time the men reached the serving line they had a ‘“man-size’’ plate of supper. The boys and girls of the Home ate their supper first, and then spent the rest of the time serving the tables and pouring coffee and taking care of the guests. Mr. and Mrs. Clendenin and the orchard crew had pre- pared a hundred gallons of apple cider and everybody was served the fresh apple cider along with the meal. Boys and_ girls, teachers, staff—everybody was busy parking cars, directing traf- fic, ushering, washing dishes, cooking, or doing something in this grand project that happens once a year. After the supper the men gathered in Little Joe’s Pres- byterian Church for the rally wherein they elected their of- ficers for the year, heard re- ports from their leaders and had messages from Reverend Robert Turner, the Regional Director of the Synod of North Carolina and from T. Mack Blackburn President of the Men of the General As- sembly, who lives in Knox- ville, Tennessee. Duke Endowment Makes Annual Report The Duke Endowment of- fers financial assistance to the Homes in North and South Carolina and on the ba- sis of the reports of these Homes makes an annual sta tistical report which may be of interest to many people who do not have opportunity to see itin its booklet form and for that reason it is pub- lished herewith, and is as fol- lows: For the thirty-third consec- utive year the child-caring in- stitutions in the Carolinas were assisted with their ope- rating expenses by the Trus- tees of The Duke Endowment. The period covered by this re- port is for the fiscal year end- ed September 30, 1957. In 1957 there were 39 child caring institutions assisted, 27 in North Carolina and 12 in South Carolina. Wilkin- son’s Home for Orphans, Cay- ce, South Carolina, did not ap- ply. The name of the Baptist Orphanage of North Carolina, Thomasville, North Carolina, was changed to the Baptist Children’s Homes of North Carolina. Bed Capacity of the 39 in- stitutions was 5,394 on Sep- tember 30, 1957 and during the fiscal year an average of 4,530 children were cared for each day. Children Cared For during the fiscal year 1957 numbered 5,842, with 2,844 or 48.7 per cent being either full or half- orphan children, and 2,998 or 51.3 per cent children with both parents living. Full or- phan children cared for dur- ing the fiscal year numbered 360, accounting for 6.2 per cent of the total. Dividing the children cared for by age groups it was found that 3, 199 or 54.8 per cent were over twelve years of age, 2,398 or 41.0 per cent were between six and twelve years, and 245 or 4.2 per cent were under six years of age. There were 3,101 boys and 2,741 girls cared for during the fiscal year. Admissions during the fis- cal year totaled 1,319, of which 1,209 were new admis- sions and 110 readmissions. Discharges during the fis- cal year numbered 1,387. On September 30, 1957 the 39 as- sisted institutions were caring for 4,445 children as compar- ed with 4,541 reported by 40 institutions on September 30, 1956. Days of Care rendered dur- ing the fiscal year by the 39 institutions totaled 1,653,448, of which 852,286 or 51.5 per cent were days of care of or- phan and half-orphan child- ren, and 801,162 or 48.5 per cent were days of care for children with both parents living. During the fiscal year ended September 380, 1957, the average number of children carcd for per day was 4,530 as compared with 4,632 for the 40 institutions during the nine months’ period ended Scptember 30, 1956. Three in- stitutions provided service to children in foster homes and reported a total of 62,018 days of foster care rendered, of which 14,136 days or 22.8 per cent were for orphan and half-orphan children. These three institutions were as- sisted by the Trustees of The Duke Endowment in foster home care of orphan and half- orphan children on the same basis as for care rendered within the institutions. (Continued on Page 3) Football Boys Win Two Lose One Jjoach R. G. Calhoun and his squad are giving a good account of themselves in the contests so far in football. The opening game saw the Tornadoes spot the visiting Railroaders to nine points and then settle down to pin a 26-9 defeat on the visiting team. In the second game with Davie County at Mocksville, the home team took the kick-off and went all the way fora touchdown against Barium Springs. This simply fired them up and from then on the Tornadoes took possession of the game and came out with the 19-18 victory. In the third game, Ashe- boro, rated as the outstanding double A team during Septem- ber, visited Barium Springs and with a tremendous squad well coached, did what they had done to three previous opponents, giving Barium a sound thrashing. The score was 33-0. The spirit of the squad and the good coaching of Mr. Cal- houn gives this team a fine chance to establish a good re- cord for the rest of the year. While the opposition which remains will really stretch the squad, yet the group declares it is going to make this a great season.

The first month of school has just passed and most of the boys and girls hope to get a good grade on their report cards. Everyone has about gotten used to their new class-room and teacher. Our football season started off with a victory over North Rowan (formerly Spencer). With boys heavier and more experienced, we expect to beat the majority of games out of the seven we will play. Our second victory was over Davie County. We lost our third game to undefeated Asheboro. We hope to beat the other games in the future. The Jun- ior Varsity and Midget foot- ball teams have started prac- tice for the games they hope to play. The seventh grade is (Continued on Page 2) PAGE TWO THE BARIUM MESSENGER OCTOBER 1958 UNDER THE STEEPLE By REV. HUGH B. CARTER JR. Names make news under the steeple and there is no lack of names to furnish the news this month. The congregation elected the following men to the office of Deacon: W. A. Gibson, Terrell Hall, Frank Nance, Glenn Steele, Arthur Weincken, and George Young. These men will be ordained and installed as church officers on November 9. We rejoice in the addition of new members to Little Joe’s Church. On September 28, Mr. Arthur Hanks was received on his profession of faith in Jesus Christ and was baptized. Mrs. Hanks became a member by transfer of letter. Also received by transfer on the same Sunday were Mrs. Mittie D. Caldwell, Miss Donna Edmisten, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Murdock, Betty Jean Murdock, ‘Frosty’? Murdock, and Mrs. Margaret Boyd Stephens. We extend a hearty welcome to these new members. The Men of the Church enjoyed steaks barbecued over char- coal by Donnie Bolton and Arthur Sigmon (with help from their wives) at their regular meeting in September. President Ike White presided and conducted the business meeting. Our Church will be host to the Men of Concord Presbytery at their Fall Rally. Donald Frazier and his Usher’s Guild will officiate at the doors, R. G. Calhoun will call the roll, and the minister will extend greetings to our visitors. The Women of the Church, under the leadership of Mary Arthur Sims will have its regular meeting in October and will hear the report of the Nominating Committee, composed of Mrs. Weincken and Mrs. Calhoun. Offices to be filled include that of Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Chairmen of Committees on Church Extension, Stewardship and Annui- ties and Relief. Mrs. McElrath has been made responsible for the evangelistic effort of the WOC. The Church School turns over a new leaf on the first Sun- day in October as it adopts the Uniform Series for Bible les- sons and begins a course on the Life of Jesus. Mr. A. M. Cal- houn has been appointed by the Session to the office of super- intendent, succeeding Roger H. Neill who has served for the past four years. Sunday School teachers will meet on the fourth Tuesday evening of each month for a course of instruc- tion by the pastor. Senior Highs attended the Presbytery Rally at Concord 43 strong. It was a quiet ride down, but coming back those who tried to sleep were annoyed by the continuous crunching of potato chips, crackers and other edible items that were brought on board in huge boxes just at the time of departure. There were some whose mouths stayed so full that they were prevented from speaking or singing all the way back. Some of these sat on the very back seat where they could finish their supper undisturbed. At the council meeting there was some spectacular handling of green olives by at least one of the of- ficers and amazing quantities of punch were consumed with- out anyone becoming punch-drunk. Pioneers are entertaining the Statesville group in October, with thanks to Mrs. Neill who will plan the supper. The Pio- neers from Valdese will be our guests in late November. There were two programs of special interest last month. One was a star gaze in which a worship service was held on the lawn just after dark, and the early autumn constellations were ob- served. The other was a skit in which Lois Allen and Amick Johnson gave a stellar performance. The skit created a con- siderable controversy during which the group resolved itself into a court and jury and listened to eloquent testimony from future lawyers who appealed passionately for different ver- dicts. Joey Vecchio was chief spokesman for the defense and Mike Morgan was mouthpiece for the prosecution. The jury concluded the whole matter by awarding the decision to neith- er side. The big news this month is that our Fall Week of Special Services will be conducted this year by the Reverend George M. Webb, of Shelby, N. C. The meeting will begin on Sunday evening, November 16, and will continue through Friday night. Let us begin now to make this meeting a matter of prayer, asking God to visit our campus through this messen- ger in such a way as to change the lives of us all. Question from a Pioneer: How can we become better Chris- tians? Answer from First John 4: 7: “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God.” COTTAGE NEWS (Continued from Page 1) in charge of the Snack Bar at the football field. It remains open during the home games under the supervision of Miss Reba Thompson, seventh grade teacher. Recently, Mike Heritage, fourteen years old, moved from Lees Cottage over to South. He rooms with his younger brother, “Chick”. Mike is in the eighth grade. We are all happy to have him come to our cottage. All the boys who are eleven to twelve years old joined the Boy Scouts of America around September 1st. They are di- vided into two groups — one meets on Monday and the other on Thursday in States- ville. The boys from our cot- tage are: Chick Heritage, Ab- ner Wilkins, Tommy Bush, Al Blake, Gordon Brown, and Clyde Mace. Almost everyoneremembers a skulking white figure of a ghost going past your win- dows last Halloween. You will probably see some of the same things this Halloween. Last year the children went around the whole campus to play “trick or treat,” but it takes an awful lot of “treat” to sup- ply some 225 children. All are looking forward to it again this year. We are also looking forward to Christmas. We get two weeks out of school for Christmas holidays. Then old Saint Nicholas makes his yearly rounds. Mr. Stowe us- ually comes every year and brings all the children an enormous bag of candy, good- ies, fruits, and toys. Mr. Stowe usually brings Fred Kirby with him to entertain the boys and girls. We went to the Fair on September 17th. We all had a ball. We got our rides free, entrance at the gate free, and popcorn free. At 8:30 p. m. a very beautiful display of fireworks were shot off. We went out and sat on the hill in front of Jennie Gilmer Cottage to see the display of fireworks. Harold Evans who graduat- ed from Barium this May is now at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, Colorado. Harold has been in the Air Force for a- bout four months. He seems to be getting along fine and writes to us very often. Har- old’s younger sister, Edna, is a senior this year. We were glad to have Ray Smith, who is in the Air Pa- trol, visit on the campus with us. That’s about all the news for now, so “Bye” until next month. Ronald Brown and the boys of South Cottage Rumple Hall From the time school was out last May until it started back this September we have had a wonderful time. We went skating, swimming and did other things too numerous to name. We skated in the Gym a lot. Sometimes we would go to the Gym and re- turn to our cottage after an evening of skating, sore, tired, but happy. We would go to the swimming pool in the afternoon “bone dry” and come back as “drowned rats’’. We all enjoyed swimming. We had an afternoon of contests in different things tied in with swimming. We went on vacation July 38rd and returned to Barium on the 22nd. Everyone had a good time. Then we started getting ready for homecom- ing. We waxed floors and gave the house a good clean- ing. Finally August the 10th came. There was the regular Sunday morning Church Ser- vice. Then there was a picnic lunch for all. At the Alumni meeting the Girls’ Choir sang. After that there was “Open House” for the rest of the afternoon. We enjoyed having Diane Mobley that week-end. She went back to Charlotte the following Monday. On Wednesday, September the 17th, we went to the Fair. We left school that afternoon about one o’clock and walked down the railroad track. We looked at the exhibits first and then went to the rides. We came home at 3:30 in the afternoon and we had a won- derful time. Miss Carpenter invited the sixth and seventh grades to a pajama party on September 19th. They saw the eleven o’clock fireworks, as that was the week of the Fair, then they went to bed on their quilts on the floor. The next morning they had pancakes and coffee for breakfast. We have had three football games. The first one was with Spencer and the second with Davie County and the third with Asheboro. We beat the first two games but lost the third. We hope to win the fourth one. Everyone is studying hard in school. Good-bye until next time. The Rumple Girls BARIUM MESSENGER Published Monthly by Presbyterian Orphans’ Home REV. ALBERT B.

C, NOVEMBER 1958 No. 10 THANKSGIVING IS THE TIME sa h ee es s ae Ed > Tae ho g s oa % oI = ‘ ki bc ba 3 LET US GIVE THANKS ST ee ba a i The beauty of these windows is an inspiration to the Barium family in every service of worship. THE CHANCEL WINDOWS LITTLE JOE’S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The three lancet windows of the chancel were designed and installed by The Willet Stained Glass Company of Philadelphia, Pa. Mr. Henry Lee Willet designer, gives the following information: Instead of the traditional form I have used an extremely free form—the idea being that from the three symbols at the top flows the power of the Godhead in a never- ending stream from all time to all time. These symbols are: The creative Hand for God the Father, the Lamb for God the Son and the Dove for the Holy Spirit. At the bottom of the left lancet is the Tree of Knowledge with the serpent entwined and the flam- ing sword of the Angel of Expulsion set off against a cross indicating the sure promise that “The heel of the seed of woman would crush the head of the serpent.” Above the medallion is the symbol of Abraham —God'’s great promise that the descendants of Abra- ham would increase as the stars in the heavens. Next above is the symbol for Moses: the bush that burned but was not consumed, signifying God’s call to Moses to prepare the children of Israel through the Law. Above this is David’s symbol—indicating God's promise — through Nathan—to establish David's house and kingdom forever. (II Samuel 7:12-17). Barium Springs and Thanksgiving Are Synonymous For more than half a century the Presbyterian Church has been stretching forth its hand to children, bringing them to Barium Springs where they could find shelter, security, happiness, protection, and training. During this time members of the Synod of North Carolina have been stretching forth their hands to make contributions to Barium Springs for the care of these boys and girls. It has been and continues to be a magnificent story. The Thanksgiving season is now upon us and the people who, through their love for Jesus Christ invest in the lives of boys and girls, will be making their offering through the Church. There is no finer mani- festation of pure love than when a man takes his own money and invests it in the life of a boy or girl whom he has never seen and whom he prob- ably will never see. What a grand way to share in the work of Christ’s Kingdom. The boys and girls of the Home, while depending on the people of the Church for their contributions to the Home, nevertheless, do their part in the Home. This has been a busy summer. Three large trench silos have been filled with silage for winter feeding. The hay barns are bulg- ing with hay that has been cut, baled and stored. The corn is harvested and is in the crib. The potatoes have been stored in the potato house. The apples have been picked and stored for winter use. The peaches also have been canned and frozen, The gardens, producing vegetables, have served the tables and filled the cannery and the freezer locker. All of this came through the work of the boys and girls along with the members of the staff who have been busy since early spring helping to take care of the needs of the Home. So, it is a blending of faith and works. It is the faith of these children in the people who provide for them and it is their work in the life of the Home such as running the laundry, washing the dishes, cooking, caring for the Infirmary, maintain- ing the campus, working on the farm, caring for the orchard, and looking after the dairy and all the other activities. The greatest thrill that comes to anyone in this operation is the thrill of having a part. Let Thanksgiving time be the occasion of your investment and bear in mind that the Home, while it provides a great deal of its own food from the farm, has manifold expenses that cannot be met unless the people of the Synod give generously. It will take time, effort, and organization on the part of the Churches and Church Schools to afford the people information and to secure their interest in and their gifts for the Home. Barium is confident that the whole Church will not fail to make provisions for its work on the campus. Next above is Isaiah, whose tongue was purified with flaming coals—that he might truly render the great prophecies of the coming of the Messiah. The bottom of the center lancet represents the Messiah. His unique- ness being His love for mankind, His vicarious sacrifice on the cross that all that believed might have salvation. Above this the Advent symbol, then the two sacraments of the church, Baptism and Communion, and finally the Phoenix rising from its ashes, which is one of the earliest symbols of the victory of life over death, as epitomized by the glorious resurrection of our Lord. In the right lancet, bottom to top are the symbols of Discipleship under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Once again the Great Commission symbols are against a background of the cross; as the medallion is studied one discovers the globe of the world; the lamp for the Light of the Gospel; the pilgrims staff; the banner of the church triumphant; and the ship for the missionary. Above this are the symbols of the Apostle Paul— Man of Faith—missionary and writer who gave such impetus to the early Christian Church. Next above are found the symbols of Francis of Assisi. the shining light of the Dark Ages, who put his faith to work by feeding the hungry and clothing the needy. Then comes Calvin’s flaming heart, which was the torch of the Reformation—followed by Oikoumene—the symbol of the World Coun- cil of Churches—and of the On-Going Church of Christ. Like the Bible itself, a great window is beautiful in its ministry— color being the language of stained glass—but it has to be studied over and over to get its full meaning.

DECEMBER 1958 Board Of Regents Holds Regular Fall Meeting On November 12th and 13th the Regents gathered at Barium Springs for the regu- lar Fall meeting. President M. C. Benton, Jr. introduced Dr. Robert F. Sloop, the new representative from Fayette- ville Presbytery, Mr. Royall R. Brown of Winston-Salem, the new member at large, and Mrs. N. F. Dixon, represent- ing Kings Mountain Presby- tery. He announced that Mrs. J. R. Benson had been elected to represent Wilmington Presbytery, but she was un- able to attend this meeting. Mrs. Colon McLean from A\I- bemarle Presbytery and Mrs. R. E. Brooks from Orange Presbytery were welcomed back to the Board, as they be- gan their second terms. The Board received the re- port of the Finance Commit- tee that, while the Home was not in debt, its approved ex- penditures for the year were $4,000.00 in excess of its in- come. The Committee recom- mended that the Board dili- gently seek ways and means of interpreting to the Church the need for the financial sup- port in order that the deficit of the year might not be re- peated. The auditors’ report was reviewed and _ ordered copies sent to the Synod’s Of- fice. In reviewing the year’s work, particular attention was given to some of the maj- or needs. The Buildings and Grounds Committee strongly urged a big renovation pro- gram to bring the buildings into good repair, inside and Alumni News Born, to Libby (Woodall) and E. J.

Three deep wells supply the water and two of these are red mineral which spoils the fixtures, discolors the clothes, and clogs the water lines. It seems inevitable that some special arrangement be made with the City of States- ville or that some other source be found for the supply of water for the Home. The Board expressed the hope that something might be done dur- ing the Spring to secure a swimming pool inasmuch as the old pool became a serious source of infection during the past summer and on doctors orders had to be elosed. The Board heard the re- ports of its committees: Case- work, Education and Religion, Farm, Dairy and Orchards, Buildings and Grounds, and Finance and Budget. The work of the Home during the fiscal year October 1st, 1957- September 30th, 1958 was ap- proved as satisfactory and the Committee members were urged to plan carefully on the campus for each section of the Home’s life and be ready io give a full and comprehensive report at the Spring meeting. Kach member of the Board upon leaving the campus was presented with a bag of apples and a jug of cider. It is hoped that the arrivals in their var- ious home towns were safe and that no one was question- ed while en route concerning the contents of the jugs. \ddie McEwen, who is working at Belk’s Beauty Shop in Charlotte, spent the week-end at Barium.

November brought the Reverend George M. Webb, minister of the Shelby Presbyterian Church to our campus to hold a series of meetings for our week of Spiritual Enrichment. Mr. Webb’s theme was “God In Action”. As a consequence of the week of Spiritual Enrichment, a class is being held for inquir- ers and those who would like to prepare themselves for church membership. At the first meeting of the class those present were: Charlie Allen, Kenneth Brewer, Linda Bridgers, Lou Anna Bridgers, Karen Crews, Ricky Davis, Bobby Grier, Chick Heritage, Joyce Ann Hughes, Benny Joyner, Larry Joyner, Dwight Lefler, Clyde Mace, Linda Sue Medlin, Sherry Ross, Walter Snead, Nancy Tyndall, Kenneth Utsman, Peggy Jo Utsman, Leon Waters, Arthur Wiencken, Abner Wilkins, Larry Wilkins. November also brought the opportunity for every member of Little Joe’s Church to prove the reality of his faith with a commitment of life and money for the work to be done next year. On Dedication Day the congregation pledged a total of $6,718. The record showed 42 adults and 167 boys and girls making a commitment. The boys and girls of the congregation pledged a total of $660 and many indicated that they were tithing. The fina! report of pledges will be given to the Budget Committee composed of J. W. Crews, Chairman, Roger H. Neill, Don R. Bolton, Miss French Boyd, Miss Charlotte Cal- houn, Arthur Sigmon, and James Kiser, Pioneers made posters and went to parties this month. Pos- ters were made to illustrate the theme and sermon topics pre- sented by Mr. Webb. Sanctified imagination was turned loose on the different topics with results that stimulated consider- able advance interest in the way that the preacher would deal with his subjects. Some two dozen posters were submitted, and prizes were awarded to Lois Allen, Eloise Barefoot, David Blalock, Peggy Bridgers, Ronald Brown, Sue Bush, Jeanette Grier, Paulette Grier, Rita Harris, Mike Heritage, Amick Johnson, Frosty Murdock and Judy Smith. At a costume party given by the Pioneers of the First Presbyterian Church in Statesville, prizes were copped by Forrest (Gabby Hayes) Spencer and Dan (Wolf) McLaurin. Statesville Pioneers were here for an afternoon of fun and worship, and the Pioneers of the Waldensian Church in Valdese are to be our guests on —"Wovember 30. Senior Highs have undertaken a Fall Paper Drive and pro- ceeds will go to a project to be determined later. Miss Rebekah Carpenter, adult adviser, was hostess to the Council for a sup- per party to which Mr. Webb was invited along with Rev. and Mrs. A. B. McClure and Rev. and Mrs. H. B. Carter. The Coun- cil is sponsoring a Thanksgiving Week-end Dance to be given in the gym with the following committees appointed: Presi- dent McKenzie, Host; Miss Carpenter, Judy Bolton, Julia Clendenin, and Audrey Waters, Refreshments; Richard Black- burn, Disk Jockey; and Decorators Wayne Wright, Graham Blake, Richard Blackburn, Edna Evans, James Kiser, Beverly McClure, Dickie McKenzie, Joe Ramsey, and Randy Shaw. The Senior High Fellowship were guests of the SHF of Cook’s Memorial Church in Charlotte at a “Platter Party” during the month. The Men and Women of the Church are looking forward to their annual Joint-Meeting on December 8 at which the Men will furnish the supper and the Women will present the pro- gram. At the quarterly meeting of the WOC, officers were in- stalled for the coming year and 30 members were in attend- ance. Those installed were Mrs. Eva Ellis, Vice President; Mrs. D. R. Bolton, Secretary; Mrs. I. B. White, Treasurer; Mrs. W. A. Gibson. Men of the Church carried on a visitation program in connection with the week of Spiritual Enrichment with R. G. Calhoun in charge. Mr. A. M. Calhoun will have a demonstration class at the next meeting of the Sunday School Worker’s Conference, and teachers will make plans for their December classes. Miss Reba Thompson, C. L. Donaldson, J. H. Lowrance and the Superintendent, A. M. Calhoun constitute the Session’s Com- mittee on Christian Education. The following new teachers have been added to the Sunday School Department: Primary Class, Mrs. A. M. Calhoun; Pioneers, Mrs. Roger Murdock; Adults, Mrs. H. B. Carter. The Howard Cottage Girls took favors and presented a re- ligious program at the Iredell County Home during the month of November. These are some of the activities which kept things from be- ing too quiet under the steeple. The following Chairmen were installed: Church Extension, Miss Kate Taylor; Stewardship, Mrs. W. L. Roberts; Annui- ties and Relief, Miss Neely Ford; Evangelism, Mrs. McElrath. Mrs. Hugh Carter will be Chairman of the Mallie Brown Cir- cle which will meet at a morning hour, and Miss Patricia Buercklin will be the Elsie Grier Circle Chairman. THE BARIUM MESSENGER COTTAGE NEWS (Continued From Page One) thought Mr. Webb might bring out. The posters were very good and they were judg- ed on Monday night. The win- ners were given a prize on Sunday afternoon, November 23, at their regular Pioneer meeting. Jeanette Grier and Sue Bush won second place on their posters, Congratulations Girls. Thanksgiving is here again and we hope everyone will nave a nice Thanksgiving. Let each of us stop to give thanks to God who is so good and gracious to us. Miss Charlotte Calhoun carried a group of girls to Ra- leigh this week-end to sing at the First Presbyterian Church. They were: Ellen Neill, Beverly McClure, Patsy Ross, Linda Utsman, Linda Byrd, and Vicki Brafford. Another group of boys and girls went to Charlotte to tell about their life at Barium Springs. On Sunday morning, Nov- ember 23rd, our minister, Mr. Hugh B. Carter, Jr., started a Communicant Class for all who feel like they are ready to unite with the Church. From Rumple Hall we only have one girl left who will celebrate her birthday in 1958 —Happy Birthday, Elva! We have already written our letters to Santa and it won’t be long until Christmas will be here again. Since this will be our last news this year, we want to say “Merry Christmas” and “Happy New Year” to each and everyone— especially to our friends throughout the Synod of North Carolina who help to make Barium Springs a com- fortable and happy Home in which to live. See you next year—1959! The Rumple Hall Girls Howard Cottage Hello Friends— Is Howard Cottage happy this morning! Our four Pio- neers each won a first prize in a poster contest for their Sunday Night Fellowship Group. About a week before our special services began, our pastor gave us Mr. Webb’s sermon topics and suggested that we illustrate them on pos- ters. Rita made a poster on “God in Action”; Eloise made one on “The Hidden Treas- ure”; Lois made one on “The Transforming Friendship’; and Paulette made one on “The People of God.” Each of these girls won a big, bright silver dollar. Our eight-year old Linda Roberts is happy too. Her sister, Donna, has moved into our cottage with us. Report cards come this week and two Thanksgiving gn a How our time does y! On November 9th, our cot- tage gave a little playlet to our Iredell County Home.

Mr. Carter and Miss Cal- houn helped us. Lots of love and Merry Christmas to you all, Howard Cottage FOOTBALL BANQUET STAGED IN BIG DINING ROOM (Continued From Page One) the number of a play, and lin- ed up instead of going back to the huddle.
