Barium’ Messenger VOL. 36 BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C., JANUARY 1959 No. 1 IREMEMBER “It has been a long time since I visited Bar- ium Springs, and a much longer time than that since I lived here,” said the woman to the superintendent of the Home. “Although near- ly a half century has passed since my leav- ing this place and my returning today, I still remember my days at Barium Springs. “T remember that there were not very many of us here then, and the campus was not near- ly as large as it is now, and there were no pav- ed walks or roads. There was no church build- ing on the campus. Times were hard and everybody had to do his part. “T remember getting up at four o’clock on the cold winter mornings and going from my building over to the kitchen to help with the baking. We had no bakery truck to deliver bread in those days, and it was my job to help make out the rolls. I still remember how cold my fingers got in working with that dough. Morning after morning, we would trudge through the darkness of the early morn to spend hours in getting ready for the rest of the day. “T remember, too, that we did not have the food which is now available. There was no surplus sent in from the government, there was no orchard to deliver apples, there was no cold storage for beef. The food was simple and plain and limited. “T, also, remember that there was not much quarreling and fussing about the lack of things, but there was the feeling of necessity on our part to help do for ourselves in order that we might have and share. The spirit of comradeship and friendship that existed a- mong the boys and girls and the family unit in that small group made a deep impression on my life. “T remember how beautiful I thought the trees were. I used to just walk out under the big trees and stand and look at them, and when it snowed at Barium Springs I went in- to the highest ecstasy. Why, I even forgot to go to school one day. I started out from the cottage, across the campus, and under the trees with the snow falling and I got into such a rapture that I walked out into the woods and just walked around the whole morning, look- ing at the beauty of the trees and the falling snow. It was hard for my teacher to believe that I could be telling the truth when I told her where I had been and what I had been do- ing. But all my life, I have remembered the beauty of that morning and the glory of that day as I walked around in this lovely place and thought about God’s world. ORCC SE ASEM, SOR ok STAT THANK YOU an inquiry to the office. thousands the Barium family sends its sincere appreciation for the wonderful things that came to the Home at Christ- mastime. If there is any question about a package sent to the Home, please address To the hosts of friends numbered in the “Yes, I remember the days of work and more work than play, but some play, and I re- member the people who were here at that time and their faith in God and their teaching us to trust Him.” After quite a period of listening to the love- ly reminiscing of this former Barium student, the superintendent said to her: “But what after Barium, what have you been doing?” “After I left Barium Springs,” she said, “I be- came a nurse, and through long years I have had a very pleasant life in ministering to peo- ple. Up and down across the eastern side of the United States, I have been extending my hand in the professional services of a nurse, ministering to the bodies of those who were sick, and I hope, through my spirit, minister- ing to the spirit of those who were downcast.” “It sounds like a wonderful life to me, and this is a thrilling experience, but you said that you had some business to which you wanted to attend. What is that?” said the superinten- dent. She smiled and said: ‘Because I remember my days here and what they have done for me, I want to see that someone else who com- es here has the opportunity to get some of the things which came to me. I don’t have much, but what I do have I want to make provision for it to come to Barium Springs. I want to get the official title and I want to send, when my days on earth are done, something here that will show that I have remembered.” The superintendent of the Home at Barium Springs went out from that room with a warmth of heart that is seldom felt, for there he had listened to the voice of one whose life had been a blessing from childhood and con- tinues to be a blessing in her service now and her planning will be a blessing in the days to come. Those fingers which through those early years at Barium Springs had almost frozen in the handling of cold dough had been guided by a warm heart to the ministry of the relief of suffering and pain, the gathering together of some of this world’s goods, and through care- ful planning and saving, was now being made ready to be invested again in some other child who may stand in need. Fifty years of service had further endeared to her heart the exper- iences of Barium Springs and now had brought her back by this place to be sure that her business affairs were in order to do the thing which she wanted done, because she re- membered. Superintendent’s Gratefully, we acknowledge the goodness of God and offer unto Him thanksgiving for His continued providence. Each year gives evidence of the Heavenly Father’s watch care over Barium Springs, and His goodness during the year just closed strengthens our faith and calls for a full commitment to Him. STAFF The work of the Home re- quires a large number of peo- ple to keep the operation go- ing. A former superintendent, Happy Holiday Season Closes With The Return To School The Christmas Season was good at Barium Springs. Al- though the day on the calen- dar is past, the spirit still abides. In the regular proce- dure, the Christmas week was begun with Family Night and the lighting of the tree in the dining-room. In candlelight and while the carols were be- ing sung, each member of the family made his way to the tree, placed his gift in the big red stocking and then put some decoration on the tree. By the time ali had passed by the tree was adorned and the stockings bulged with more than a hundred dollars to be given in the name of the fam- ily for Christmas. Christmas shopping tours were made to Statesville and to Charlotte and truck-loads of packages came in through the mail. Cars loaded with presents from Santa Claus made their way to the storage room where the packages waited until Christmas Eve when they were placed in the cot- tages for Christmas Morning. Christmas Day was a beauti- ful day. At 6:30 in the morn- ing the families left their cot- tages and moved out under the stars, making their way to the church for a service of worship conducted by the Senior High Fellowship. This walk is one to be remembered. The full moon was setting in the western sky and could be seen through the bare branch- es of the big oaks on the cam- pus. After the Service the morning sun was rising in the eastern sky and with all her glory she was beginning to light the earth and the frost on the grass sparkled like jewels. In the frosty cold, the steps were fast and hearts were light and voices were joyful. The Christmas break- fast was ready in the dining- room, and after that all went to the cottages where Christ- mags trees were decorated and surrounded with packages. After the gifts were received from the trees, the time was spent in visiting one another in the various cottages and seeing what gifts had been brought to others. At high noon in the big din- ing-room the whole family came together for a turkey dinner. Home - made cakes brought from Hickory and Laurinburg and special ice cream from a friend in States- ville and beautifully decorat- ed for the occasion made a delightful close to this good meal, The afternoon of Christmas Day was a time for visits of friends and relatives and a time for displaying all the new gifts and toys and things which had come. For three hours down in the big gymna- sium the boys and girls got together for recreation and play and conversation about Christmas. It is indeed a de- lightful and wonderful season. Friends of Barium Springs numbering in the thousands had been again this year the wonderful folk that they have always been and so the home was bountifully supplied. There were those who sent the spending money for shopping and the money for Scout uni- forms, there were watches and dolls, baby carriages and pogo sticks with speedomet- ers, small radios, sweaters, skirts and jewel boxes, major- ette suits and skates and Toni sets, coats, ties and gloves, and candy, fruit, nuts, cakes and ice cream, and turkeys, flashlights and fountain pens and pencils and Gym Dandy sets and bicycles, bows and arrows and cow-boy suits and guns and holsters and volley balls and basketballs and foot- balls, baseballs and bats and electric football games, elec- (Continued on Page 3) Report To The Board Of Regents Dr. Joseph B. Johnston, said that the success of the Home in his administration was due to the help of the folks around him. That statement is still true. The success of Barium is due to the faithful service of those who are now here. Our newest staff members have been here three months and the longest tenure of ser- vice is about thirty years. If long hours and below average pay is indicative of faithful service, then this staff would receive a good report. The Board’s attention is called to the fact that the Home is con- stantly in need of additional personnel to fill vacancies when they exist and to replace persons who retire or leave the staff. Also, it should be borne in mind that people with experience and training adequate for doing the job will have to receive adequate pay for their services. CAMPUS The campus has a beauty all its own and it is gratifying (Continued on Page 2) PAGE TWO UNDER THE STEEPLE By Rev. HUGH B. CARTER, JR. The Pioneers and Seniors are the most active folk under the steeple, At the moment they are engaged in a bit of intellectual gymnastics in their separate corners which promises to come to a fighting finish in a joint meeting some Sunday night in the near future. The game is called BIG TEN and is modeled after one of the favorite TV Quiz shows. Contestants vie with one another in answering questions from the Bible in such categories as ‘‘Parables’” (Jesus told three parables about things old and new; name two of them); “Old Testament Characters” (Identify Esau) ; “Who Said” (Who said, “What must I do to be saved?”’). The Champion in the Senior High Division is Jackie Taylor who has conquered former champion Vicky Brafford and challenger Dickie McKenzie. Audrey Waters topped Donald Frazier, but was bested by Vicky. In the Pioneer Department, there is a deadlock between challeng- er Joyce Ann Hughes and defending champ Tyressa Taylor. Jeanette Grier was top until her contest with Tyressa, Other activities of Pioneers include original posters, poems and stories to illustrate Christmas. Those declared winners were Mike Morgan, Lois Allen, Eloise Barefoot, Jeanette Grier, and Rita Harris. Senior Highs celebrated the Christmas Season with an evening of carroling, followed by refreshments at the manse, and on Christmas morning had charge of the early morning worship service. Those taking part were Graham Blake, Judy Bolton, Vicky Brafford, Jim Bunnell, Douglas Byrd, Buddy Cochran, Edna Evans, Dickie McKenzie, and Audrey Waters. The Choirs of the Church were at their best in a Wednesday evening concert of great Christmas music in which the Girls Chorus gave a stellar rendition from one of the selections of Bach’s “Christmas Oratorio.’’ Mrs. Shirley Price was at the piano. The Children’s Chorus lifted the hearts of the congre- gation in their singing of “The Snow Lay On The Ground”, “Long Long Ago” and others. The Male Chorus did “The An- nunciation” and “The Adoration of the Shepherds” and the combined choirs sang Ringwald’s arrangment of “O Holy Night.” Choirs were under the direction of Miss Charlotte Calhoun, assisted at the organ by Miss Julia Clendenin. The Congregation made a Thanksgiving Day offering of $174.60. The Joy Gift offering was $66.00. The congregation approved a budget of $8,300 for the coming year which ex- ceeds the current budget by $2,200. Benevolences to Presby- tery were increasd from $1,200 to $2,000. The request of Little Joe’s Church to hear the Reverend Dr. J. M. Sydenstricker, Brazilian Missionary, during the World Mission season was granted by the Board of World Missions, and Dr. Sydenstricker will be our guest on Sunday, February 15. The congregation will begin the New Year with observance of The Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday in January, and on the same day shall welcome into its fellowship by profession of faith some twenty boys and girls who have been preparing themselves for Church membership by attending special class- es conducted by the minister over a seven week period. Our latest addition to the church was Mrs. W. L. Roberts who was received by certificate from a sister church in this Presbytery. The Congregation begins the year 1959 meditating on these words from the First Epistle of John: “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, And every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God .. . Herein is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us, and sent his son to be the pro- pitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.” THE BARIUM MESSENGER Superintendent's Report To The Board of Regents (Continued from Page 1) to note the comments that are made about its appearance. This, however, does not erase the fact that there continues to exist in the buildings and equipment of the campus dire needs for repairs and replace- ments. Some of the plans for the year just closed have not been carried out, they will have to be renewed for the coming year. The purchase of furniture has been delayed because the report from the Love Gift has not been made. The installing of bathrooms in Lottie Walker has been de- signed and is ready to be done. The new year will call for major repairs in Howard Cottage, Sprunt Infirmary, the second floor of Lottie Walker, and the special study of Lees Cottage with the poss- ibility of complete remodeling being necessary. Attention of the Board is called to the condition of the old swimming pool, This sub- ject has often been brought to the attention of the Board and it seems now that something will have to be done. Either the old pool will have to be closed and discontinued, or plans will have to be made for a new one. During the sum- mer months the pool became a place for spreading germs and causing a rise in ear, nose, and throat infections. Upon the advice of the doctor, the pool was closed. It is the considered judg- ment of the superintendent that the campus needs a Stu- dent Center Building. The boys and girls need a place to get together in wholesome fashion for recreation and fun. This is of an informal type and more also of the “party” type. The gymnasium serves the purpose for skating and basketball, dressing for football, etc., but it is too big and not suitable for the in- formal evening type of get-to- gether and the “party” type building where something special can be held. It is hop- ed that the Board will look with favor on the erection of such a building and instruct the superintendent to secure proposed plans and estimates. FINANCES The auditor’s report is in your hands giving the com- ments of the auditors together with the detailed reporting of the financial operations of the Home. Also, the treasurer has prepared and distributed gen- eral information about the fi- nancial picture of the Home. Therefore, the statements of the superintendent would call attention of the Board to gen- eral conditions and trends in the Synod in the matter of support. The Home has com- plied fully with the rules of the Synod of North Carolina in reporting to the Synod’s Office the amounts sent di- rectly to the Home. The plan of the Synod to have the con- tributions sent through the Presbytery’s treasurer, through the Synod’s treasur- er, and then forwarded to the Home prevents the Home’s office from being able to iden- tify the source of many of the gifts and therefore has remov- ed the possibility of a com- munication to the local church or individual giver. Some peo- ple, having been accustomed to receiving these communi- cations, have thought that perhaps the Home was remiss in not sending out “Thank- you Notes’’, but the Home has no way of knowing the sourc- es of the money and cannot, therefore, keep up the interest through correspondence. Once again, let it be said that the Board must interpret to the Stewardship Committee and to the Synod of North Caro- lina the financial program of the Home and the needs that are to be met here. CENSUS More children are being cared for in America and North Carolina than ever be- fore in the history of Child Care. There are also more agencies caring for children than ever in the history of Child Care. This, then, means that the Church is not carry- ing the full load but that the nation, through its welfare program administered through its State and County departments, are lightening the load on the institutions. Also, the fact of Social Secur- ity in the lives of many child- ren has kept them at home where in other days they would have been forced to be cared for away from home. Our present enrollment at Barium Springs is about 175. The applications that are be- fore us would indicate that the enrollment of the Home certainly would not exceed 225 during the present year, and possibly not reach that num- ber. The applications in gene- ral far exceed the capacity of the Home. Some of the needs the Home is not capable of meeting and some of the child- ren do not come under the rules of admission as estab- lished by the Board. It will be important for the Board and administration of the Home to study carefully the intake policies, interpret them to the Synod of North Carolina, and follow the will of the Synod of North Carolina in any pro- posed program for Child Car- ing in the Synod. SCHOOL The year just closed saw a change in the graduation pro- cedures at Barium Springs, for in consolidating the high school at Troutman, the boys and girls of the Home grad- uated with the group in the regular exercises at the Troutman School. The tran- sition from the High School on the campus to that off the campus has been much more tranquil than had been antici- JANUARY 1959 BARIUM MESSENGER l’ublished Monthly by Presbyterian Orphans’ Home KEV, ALBERT B.

The convictions of the administration and the Board thus far have been borne out in that, while there are dis- advantages connected with this new relationship, there are many advantages which seem to outweigh the others. The Elementary School had a good year on the campus. Some special work was done with the children in the Pub- lic School Musie and also in children’s choruses and in the Church choirs. Piano lessons were available for all those who wanted to take it. The quality of instruction was good and the school was eligi- ble for accreditation, with the exception of having one teach- er holding a high school certi- ficate teaching below the sev- enth grade. This Fall the school is eligible for accredi- tation. Much time and thought, exploration and study are being given to the matter of the school. Nearly all agree that the younger children would be better serv- ed by being taught on the campus. Thus, it would seem wise always to have some teaching done at the Home. The real question is where the division should be made. The superintendent is unable to make a recommendation to the Board at this time for any additional change, but would seek the advice and counsel of the Board in establishing the most economical and wisest plan for education of the boys and girls. HEALTH The average health of the campus is good. The major outbreak during the year was that of Asian Flu. It is antici- pated that the campus will have more frequent attacks of diseases prevalent in the com- munity by reason of contacts in the school at Troutman. In years gone by we have been more or less isolated and now in the new school relationship we will be exposed to the com- municable diseases more fre- quently than heretofore. Miss Nancy Hoots at the Infirmary has given good service to the (Continued on Page 3) ra Pr e at GF We _— “S s SS o e eS JANUARY 1959 THE BARIUM MESSENGER Superintendent's Report To The Board of Regents (Continued from Page 2) students of the Home who have been confined in the In- firmary and has administered to the health care of all the students. Dr. Tom Griffin and his associate, Dr. William Mc- Lain at Troutman serve the Home. The services of Davis Hospital continue to be won- derful for the boys and girls. Dr. William 8S. Kirk has com- pleted his year of study at Chapel Hill and resumed his regular program on the cam- pus in dentistry, adding to his work his newly acquired knowledge in Orthodontia. Thus, the good work of the Dental Committee continues to be carried on and the un- excelled work of Dr. Smith Kirk in his care of the boys and girls will prevail. A finer spirit cannot be found in the State of North Carolina than Dr. Smith Kirk. Campus in- juries have been about normal and football injuries were lighter than usual. All in all, thé state of health at Barium Springs can be reported as good. WATER SUPPLY The 25,000 gallon tank standing near Rumple Hall is supplied from three deep wells. Two of these wells west of the Highway 21 are red wells and the one east of the Highway is clear water. The water supply presents a ma- jor question in the plans for Barium Springs. No fixtures can be kept decent with the red water running over them. No clothes can be laundered in this red water satisfactori- ly. The lines earrying the water become clogged and this reduces the pressure and makes the flow unsatisfactory in the buildings. Many analy- ses have been made of the water, The red seems to be a mineral content and cannot be removed. It is distasteful and discolors all fixtures. It seems indispensable that a new source of supply be provided. This could be done through one of several procedures. New wells could be drilled on the East side for the clear water. A stream might be im- pounded and the water filter- ed and pumped to the tank. There is some possibility that arrangements might be made with the City of Statesville for extension of their lines to the campus. Further explora- tions will be made and re- ports for future action will be made at a subsequent Board meeting. FARM This year brought to a close the services of Mr. John F. Stinson as Farm Manager. After three decades of service to the Home and _ having reached the age of seventy- one, Mr. Stinson retired as Farm Manager. Mr. Stinson was held in high esteem by all who knew him and greatly loved by those who worked with him. A noble servant of God has served this Home well, A new Farm Manager has been chosen. Mr. Roger Mur- doch and his family came to the Home the middle of July. He is the son of Mr. Car] Murdoch of Iredell County, a well known Christian citizen of this community. Mr. Roger Murdoch grew up on the farm, graduated at State Col- lege, and served as County Agent in Iredell County and other counties. He is tireless in his effort and is high in his zeal and ambition for the Home. It is reasonable to an- ticipate that under his leader- ship the farm, dairy, orch- ards, and gardens will con- tinue to improve and be an asset to the economy of the Home and the training of the children. People who know Barium Springs best and who know Roger Murdoch well are loud in their approval of se- curing his leadership for the farm and for working with boys and girls. CHURCH Reverend and Mrs. Hugh B. Carter, Jr. and their two children, Myra and Tim, came to live in the Manse in mid- summer. That was the begin- ning of something good for Barium Springs. The minis- ter’s leadership in the Church and his life and that of his family on the campus and in the community continue to be good for this place. It seems that the hand of God moved particularly and unmistak- ably in the placing of this family in this community. The Home and community are responding to the plans and suggestions of Mr. and Mrs. Carter and it is a cause for gratitude to God to know that this family is here for service in the work of Little Joe’s Presbyterian Church. It is hoped that the Committee on Education and Religion will hold meetings on the campus and seek frequently the coun- sel of both superintendent and minister for laying out and carrying on an adequate program of Christian Nur- ture for the children of the Home. Happy Holiday Season Closes With The Return To School (Continued from Page 1) tric boats and small airplanes, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. . As the boys and girls moved back into the routine of school there was still the glow of the holidays spreading over into the beginning of school again and making even the thoughts of study and recitations and exams a little less formidable because of the beautiful and pleasant experience of the holiday season.

C., FEBRUARY 1959 _ No. 2 WOMEN OF THE CHURCH SEND LOVE GIFT AN OPEN LETTER TO LOUISE Dear Louise: Not long ago in a letter to Miss Rebekah Carpenter, the caseworker, you said “My picture was in the Winston- Salem paper one evening as one of the new teachers. Sid- ney Bost who took the picture sent me two glossy prints. I would like for you to have one for your bulletin board (on which I used to dream of get- ting my picture).” Not only will your picture be on the bulletin board in Miss Car- penter’s office, but mailed out now to approximately twenty- five thousand other people. As we look at the picture, what fond recollections we have of your days at Barium Springs. The chubby little gir] who was the youngest of three sisters made her way from cottage to cottage until she became one of the big girls and then made an excel- lent Big Sister for the little boys at Synod’s Cottage. I am sure that you recall the many things which took place on this campus between 1940 when you entered Barium and 1954 when you graduated. How proud we were of you as you went down the aisle as a member of the senior class at graduation. We hated to see you leave the campus and yet we were delighted to see you enrolled at Montreat College. Your re- cord there was a good one and another day of thrill and ex- citement was the graduation in 1958. We were proud of the work you had done and for the field in which you had prepared yourself to render service. Sometimes things which seem rather smal] have a very large meaning. Miss Carpen- ter and I still remark on the fact that after you had used the linens, blankets and towels during college that you then had them carefully laundered, neatly wrapped in a package and returned to the Home. Just as you had been dependable while at Barium Springs, you continu- ed your good ways and furth- er showed the fine traits of character that make up your disposition. Now, you are a_ school teacher. How different things look in the schoolroom from what they did when you were (Continued on Page 2) Rumple Hall and Howard Cottage To Get New Furniture January brought good news from the Women of the Church in the Synod of North Carolina. For many months the campus had been eagerly awaiting the report from the Love Gift which was being made to Barium Springs, especially the residents of Rumple Hall and Howard Cottage, for these two buildings were to be the first to receive the benefits of this gift. The goal had been set for $25,000.00, but the Women of the Church in their usual fashion exceeded their goal and gave over $27,000.00, What a magnificent thing this is — out of the love in their hearts, they make this investment at Barium Springs. What a thril! for the girls in these two buildnigs to look forward to good beds with springs and mattresses which are comfortable and dressers with mirrors to replace the old ones propped up in the corners! Some of the furniture when moved actually had to be carried out in pieces because it fell apart before it could be gotten out of the building. Good quality merchandise has been bought at the lowest price available and the rooms are now beginning to look like they should. The girls had to get used to their new beds; the old ones had sway- ing springs and their mattresses dipped in the middle and there was no chance to roll out of the bed. The new ones round- ed across the top caused some excitement when some of the folks in their accustomed manner of being in a hammock-like bed, rolled off of the top of the new ones. The purchasing will continue and the bedrooms of Rumple Hall and the bedrooms and living-room of Howard Cottage and the two new living-rooms which have not yet been furnish- ed will now be made livable and attractive for the children. What a difference it will be to have a nice new dresser to use instead of kneeling on the floor to place things in a box against the side of a wall. Plans are also underway to secure some pictures for the walls of all the cottages if there is enough money to do so. It is not a wholesome feeling to enter a building and find not a picture hanging on the wall of the hall, living-room or in the children’s rooms. One of the graces for home-like living is pictures hanging in the house. To that end, the administration is working hard to see that the living- rooms and bedrooms are made attractive. li the children of these cottages, the youngest to the oldest, will long remember the change that has taken place in their living quarters and how it came about. To the Women of the Synod of North Carolina the whole Home would send its deepest appreciation for this Love Gift to Barium Springs. New Scout Program Proving Successful {n the Fall of 1958 the boys of the Home interested in Scouting were enrolled in Scout Troops in Statesville. Twenty-two boys joined four quite delighted with the op- portunity of being a part of the various troops. During the Christmas holi- days, many people _ sent Christmas money for Scout different troops. The Scout- masters of these four troops had expressed their willing- ness to have additional mem- bers brought in, and so the Barium boys became a part of the regular Scouting program within the established troops in the churches in Statesville. This affords these boys a good Scouting program with a group of boys other than the ones whom they see all day long every day. Thus far the Scout Council and the Seoutmasters have felt this to be a fine precedure and the boys at Barium Springs are uniforms, Mr. C. G. Steele who is in charge of this part of the Home’s work and who arranges for the boys’ trans- portation and Scouting needs announces that twenty have passed the second-class rank and are now ready for the Scout uniform which has been promised them. It is hoped that this entire program may be continued and enlarged and that all the boys of the Home who are interested in Scouting can be fully equipp- ed and take a regular and normal part in a community activity, PAGE TWO UNDER THE STEEPLE By Rev. HUGH B. CARTER, JR. There was considerable coming and going under the steeple during the year 1958, more going in fact than coming. In addition to the going of the former minister on January 1st and the coming of the new minister on June 29, there were 87 dismissals and 14 accessions between January 1 and Decem- ber 31. We lost one member by death, 25 by transfer of letter and 61 were placed on the retired roll. This means that there are now 107 members of Little Joe’s Church who have long since left this community and are living elsewhere without identifying themselves with the Church in the community where they now reside. With this report goes an earnest plea from the minister to all who read this column beyond the en- virons of Barium Springs to consider their obligation and privilege as citizens of the kingdom; and to reconsider their loyalty to the Church of Jesus Christ in the community where they live; become active members in your local church. All who request transfers of letter will be dismissed from Little Joe’s Church in good standing and commended to the fellow- ship of the church of their choosing. To offset our losses last year, we received 14 new members, 13 by certificate and one on profession of faith, giving us a total active membership of 205. Your minister delved into tle archives in a recent trip to the library of Union Theologicai Seminary and read with in- terest from the Minutes of Concord Presbytery in the year 1908 where the organization of Little Joe’s Church is recorded. He copied down the names of 67 charter members who were received on profession of faith (62 were baptized that Sunday, May 10, 1908) and the names of 52 more persons who were received as charter members by certificate (47 came from the Presbyterian Church at Troutman) —making a total of 119 Charter Members. Two elders were elected, John W. Clark and W. B. Parks, along with two deacons : George M. Young and Walter Bailey. The first minister was the Reverend W. M. Walsh, who is now associate minister at the First Presbyter- ian Church in Charlotte. The first superintendent of the Sun- day School was John Wakefield. It is significant that the total number of communicants reported in the year 1914 was 204—just one less than the number reported last year. This means that Little Joe’s Church is a “producer” church, send- ing out approximately as many members as we receive year after year. Our primary function is to gather and train and teach and nourish young lives in the Christian Faith, and to send out young men and women to be leaders of churches in the towns and cities and wherever they may go from here. Still speaking of the membership of the church, it is good to report that on the first Sunday in January this year, 15 new members were added by profession of faith in Jesus Christ: Kenneth Brewer, Karen Crews, Robert Grier, Everett Heritage, Joyce Ann Hughes, Dwight Lefler, Larry Joyner, Clyde Mace, Walter Snead, Mary Tyndall, Kenneth Utsman, Leon Waters, Arthur Weincken, Abner Wilkins, and Larry Wilkins. Glenn Houck was added by certificate from the Pres- pyterian Church at Matthews, N. GC. Since the first of the year we have dismissed Carol Harwell to the Presbyterian Church at Butner, N. C. and Mrs. Joyce Ferrell Burris has been trans- ferred to the rolls of the West Avenue Presbyterian Church in Charlotte. The Senior High Fellowship, under their new adviser, Terrell Hall, celebrated Assembly’s Youth Sunday by conduct- ing the morning worship while the minister joined his family in the congregation. Talks were made by President Dickie Mc- Kenzie, Vickie Brafford, Jim Bunnell, Richard Blackburn, Jean Murdoch, and Jackie Taylor. Julia Clendinin played the organ while Graham Blake, Shirley Faulk, Donna Edmisten, Patsy Ross, Randy Shaw, and Martha Trivette led various parts of the worship service. The theme of the service was “Witnessing For Christ” and the speakers chose different phases of life to illustrate how a personal witness could be made. The Pioneers under their new leader, Mrs. J. W. Crews, are making plans to entertain their friends from the First Presbyterian Church in Statesville, and are looking forward to a Conclave .n April with other Pioneers of the Presbytery. Be sure to read the new bulletin boards next time you are under the steeple, and remember, wherever you are, to read the Bible daily. “And you shall be my witnesses . .. to the end of the earth.” THE BARIUM MESSENGER Annual Physical Exams Conducted By Doctors During the month of Jan- uary the annual physical ex- aminations were conducted for every child on the campus. Doctors Lafferty and Sin- clair had only a few minor recommendations for follow- ups subsequent to the exam- inations. Dr. W. T. Mac- Lauchlin who has been ren- dering this service to the Home for more than ten years was unable to arrange his schedule for the trip to Barium this year. In his place came Dr. Carter Sinclair. He, with Dr. John Lafferty who has been coming for nearly ten years, declared after the day was over that the health of the boys and girls was much above the average of any similar group which they had seen or known. Each year these doctors comment particularly on the dental work that is being done, say- ing that they see very few who have work equal to this and none superior to the qual- ity of the dental work being done for the boys and girls at the Home.

Your grand sense ot humor will help you in many situations. Your willingness to work hard will also come in good, There will come a time when these two together will be insufficient and with- in yourself you will not be able to find strength, but as always you will turn to Him who affords the strength. I am sure that the boys and girls who come under your care will catch from you a genuine sense of the presence of the Master. Come to see us often. You will find your picture on the bulletin board and we will be delighted in seeing you here in person. Most sincerely yours, Albert B. McClure Superintendent COTTAGE NEWS Rumple Hall Since you have heard from us a lot has happened. First, we want to tell you about our new beds and dressers which we are thoroughly enjoying. They are beautiful and we would like to take this cppor- tunity to tell the Women of the Synod of North Carolina how much we appreciate the furniture. Our rooms look much better and, oh, how good we can sleep now! Miss Sims does not have any trou- ble getting us in bed now—to tell the truth, she has to keep us out of them when it is not bedtime. You would under- stand the pleasure we have in these new beds and dressers if you could have seen those we had before we got the new ones. Thank you again, every- one, especially the women who had this as their project. Just two weeks after we re- ceived our new furniture, Christmas was here, so really it seemed like Santa began two weeks early at our cot- tage. We were already so (Continued on Page 3) ,° - 9 ee ae a a ee SE S ee e ~~ SS ee e eR a o os e an so FEBRUARY 1959 THE BARIUM MESSENGER PAGE THREE COTTAGE NEWS (Continued from Page 2) excited over the new furni- ture, then Christmas Day brought even more excite- ment. Each of us had a won- derful Christmas and Santa was so good to each of us. We received so many nice, pretty and useful gifts. Nancy Joyner was the only one in our cottage who had a birthday in January. Now that February is just about here, we have two girls who will be celebrating birthdays real soon; Joyce Ann Hughes on February 8th and Sue Bush on February 28th. Happy Birthday, girls! Several weeks ago when Mr. Carter was teaching a Communicant’s Class, we had one girl to join the Church. She is Joyce Ann Hughes. Now, for our basketball. Although we have lost sever- al games, our boys and girls have worked real hard. Keep up the good work, team, and we will keep fighting for you. This news is not so good for several of us this time. Yes, report cards! We only had three who made the Hon- or Roll this time. They are: Mary Ann McBennett, Nancy Finley, and Lou Anna Bridg- ers. Keep up the good work, girls! The rest of us wili try to do better next time. See you next month. The Rumple Hall Girls —— South Cottage Hi Friends — It is news time again. Everyone in our cottage had a big Christmas and all of us got what we wanted most. Our boys are doing fairly well in basketball. We have won the majority of the games we have played so far. We are having a lot of com- petition. We have two birthdays in February—Ronald Brown on February 8th and Charles McLean on February 138th. A new dam is being built on Barium property in addi- tion to the one completed in November, 1958. The new one wil be behind the dairy and will be much bigger than the other one. The workmen have just started clearing the land. A/3C Harold Evans, 1958 graduate at Barium Springs, is now stationed at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, Colo- rado. Harold was on leave re- cently and spent some time at Barium. He writes often and sends pictures of scenic places in Colorado. Harold has been in the Air Force almost a year now. We were glad to have Tom Finley and Melvin McKenzie home during the semester break. Both are students at Davidson. So long until next month. Ronald Brown and the Boys of South Cottage North Cottage Hi Folks — We decided to take time out from our busy schedule to let you hear from us. We surely had a fine Christmas. Mrs. Ellis gave the high school girls in our cottage a real nice Sock-Hop party-—at least, that is what we called it. We had several girls to make the Varsity basketball team this year—three fresh- men: Patsy Ross, Patsy Por- ter, and Wilma Bush, and two sophomores: Marcie Lewis and Virginia Kiser. These girls have surely been working hard. On this Tues- day night we play Davie County at Barium and on Friday night we play Lexing- ton at Barium. Wish us luck! January 25th was Youth Sunday and lots of the mem- bers of the Senior High Fel- lowship took part in this pro- gram and they did a very good job. We have two birthdays this month — Mae Jolly’s on Feb- ruary 10th and Peggy Mc- Donald’s on the 15th. We wish both of them a happy birthday. We have two girls in our cottage going out for the Junior Varsity team. They are Pamela Fair and Judy Shaw. We wish them the best of luck. Our high school girls sure- ly did have to do some study- ing on their mid-term exams, but most of them made right good grades.

C., MARCH 1959 No. 3 Boys Team Make Tournament Basketball is over for this season and the life of the campus has returned to nor- mal existence. The practice periods each afternoon and two games a week every week for two and one-half months certainly involves a tremend- ous amount of time, not only for the players but for the spectators, teachers and coaches. The Girls’ Team this year lacked in experience and was unable to win a Conference Tournament berth. Many of their games were lost by a very small margin and with a little luck they could have had a higher rating. This year’s seasoning offers good train- ing for next year’s play. The Boys had a better rec- ord. The squad was made up almost entirely of seniors who gave a good account of them- selves throughout the season and landed in the fourth place position in the North Pied- mont Conference, Their first- round assignment was the number one team in the South Piedmont Conference, and they demonstrated their abil- ity by defeating this team in the first round play. However, the second round was not so successful. Thomasville, the number two team of the North Piedmont Conference, was the opponent and had ai- ready beaten Barium twice. They made it three in a row as they eliminated the Tornadoes fram the tournament in the secone round. Graduation will claim al- most the entire squad and next year’s outlook in Boys’ Basketball means a complete rebuilding of the team with the younger members of the freshman and sophomore classes. [t is right remarkable that a high school group with less than sixty students has held its own in a conference made up of schools from four to nine hundred students. The Coach, A. M. Calhoun, is to be commended for his diligence and ability in getting his teams ready to meet the strong opposition which they have had. Four Hundred At Scout Banquet The big dining-room at Rumple Hall was filled with men and boys for the Father- Son Fellowship Banquet dur- ing Scout Emphasis Week. The children of the Home, having been served earlier made ready for the men and boys in this annual affair. The Home has for years serv- et the Program of Scouting in making possible the ar- rangements for the banquet on the campus. This com- munity service uses the whole group in the raising and kill- ing of the hogs for the barbe- cue, parking of the cars on the campus, and preparing the food and serving it on tables in the dining-room. The boys and girls and members of the staff did an unusually fine job in taking care of this vig group for this occasion. The Iredell County District with all of its Troops had made reservations and turned out in force for the evening meal and the special awards, closing with a message from the Reverend J.S. Hiatt of Elkin. * Honor Roll For Six Weeks Ending Feb. 23 First Grade: Tim Carter, Michael Drumm, Mike Ritch- ie, Linda Harpe Kay Marsh- burn. Second Grade: Car!

WE NEED RACQUETS The back-stops are up and the concrete will be poured and the outdoor play area will be ready for use when we get enough tennis racquets to play with. This all-purpose area will be suitable for outdoor basketball and skating, but will be used primarily for tennis. If you have a good racquet which you no longer need, we would love to put it in service at Barium Springs. Sewing Room To Get New Machines Mrs. Fox and her sewing room crew are anxiously awaiting the arrival of two new machines. This equip- ment is being made possible through the special gifts of a former Board member and his wife. Through his long years of service to the Home, he always manifested a deep concern for all the persons on the campus. After his term expired he continued to re- member the great needs of the sewing room and has made it possible for them to be met through the purchase of this new equipment. A high-speed industrial sewing machine which will do fell-seaming will reduce the time for mak- ing a pair of pajamas by one- third to one-half. The new high-speed single stitcher in- dustrial machine will provide for fast and accurate stitch- ing which is so much needed in this busy place. The other autiquated machines will be overhauled and parts put to- gether from some of them to keep the others running for the use of the girls who assist in the sewing room. It takes a lot of stitching to keep a family as large as that at Bar- ium clothed, to say nothing of the making of sheets, pillow cases, drapes, and curtains, and the many other items which become a part of the sewing room activity. New Members On Barium Staff Two new persons have join- ed the forces of Barium Springs to help carry on the work. Mrs. Isaac B. White has come to the kitchen to as- sist Mrs, Neill in preparing food for the many hungry mouths. Mrs. White has been torm- erly connected with the Home and her husband, Mr. l. B. White, has been a faithtui member of the staff for many years. Miss Ella Reynolds from Charlotte, N. C. is the most recent addition to the staff and is just getting start- ed. She will spend some time in learning the routine of the cottages and plans to serve as a relief housemother.

COTTAGE NEWS South Cottage Hi, Everyone— We are back again with the news, Our boys ended up their basketball schedule with a victory over Mills Home. We are all proud of our basketball boys, especially since they are now in fourth place and play- ing in the tournament. We are also proud of our Junior Vars- ity. They have played hard and won all the games they have played so far. Walking about the campus now, you will see boys piaying marbles. Marbles seem to be more popular with the child- ren this year than they were last year, even some of the older boys have become inter- ested in them. Another favo- rite pastime of the children is flying kites. "They started flying them a little before time this year. We have one March birth- day—Wilson Bush’s birthday is March 9th. We get report cards this month and we hope that we have improved on some of our grades. That is about all the news for now—so long until next month. Ronald Brown and the Boys of South Cottage Infirmary Hi! It has been some time since you have heard from our group. We have all been real busy with school activities and patients.

COTTAGE NEWS (Continued from Page 1) know that we had a wonder- ful time and lovely gifts. Something real nice hap- pened to the Infirmary this past week. We received a wall clock from the Sprunt Bible Class in Wilmington, N. C. We want to thank Mrs. W. H. Gaylor, the President of the Sprunt Bible Class, and all of the members of the Class who donated this useful gift to us. The students will be looking at this clock many times a day and also will be on time for school each morning. The Infirmary Girls Rumple Hall Hello There! This is the news from Rum- ple Hall again.

C, APRIL 1959 WITH CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN OF THE HOME’ Barium Cagers Given Awards By JERRY JOSEY Record & Landmark Sports Editor Barium Springs honored its basketball teams last night at a steak dinner and presented awards to varsity members of what could be Barium’s final varsity athletic clubs. The Tornadoes are expected to be in with Troutman come an April 27 meeting at Albe- marle when a decision will be made on Troutman’s applica- tion for membership in the Western North Carolina High School Activities Association. Coach Archie Calhoun pre- sided over last night’s dinner and presented awards. Top honors were carried off by Judy Bolton and Elva Med- lin of the girls team and Randy Shaw and Jim Bunnell of the boys squad. A vote by the players select- ed Bolton as the permanent captain and Medlin as the most valuable player on the girls squad. Shaw was named the permanent captain on the boys club while Bunnell, re- cently honored on the All- Northwest team as well as all- conference and _ ali-tourna- ment, was named most valu- able player on the Tornado varsity. Calhoun expressed his thanks to Barium personnel and others for their help throughout the season. Bar- ium had a winning season for their four clubs and Calhoun said prospects for future Bar- ium cagers looked bright. Continued on Page 2 CONFERENCE FOR WORKERS MET IN RICHMOND The Southeastern Confer- ence for Workers in Child- ren’s Homes met in Rich- mond, Virginia the first week in April. This was the first time that this Conference, formerly known as the Tri- State Conference, had met in any State other than North Carolina, South Carolina, or Georgia. Upon the invitation of the Virginia Methodist Children’s Home and the John Marshall Hotel, the Confer- ence accepted the invitation for its annual meeting. The Conference was opened with a keynote address by Miss Jane Ann Epperson from the School of Social Work at the University of Tennessee. Under the direc- tion of Martin Gula, of the Children’s Bureau, Washing- ton, D. C., Mrs. Kate Bullock Helms, and Miss Jane Ann Epperson, stimulating discus- sions on the conference theme “United on Purpose—Divided in Responsibility” were held for the executives, casework- ers, and houseparents who met in separate sections. One of the highlights of the Con- ference was the luncheon giv- en by the Methodist Child- ren’s Home in their beautiful new dining room. The girls served in a very gracious manner and the whole Con- ference was delighted with this visit. In the business session the Conference elected Everett Spell of Oak Grove, Charles- ton, S.C. as president, suc- ceeding Miss Mary Bruce Roberts of Rome, Ga., Mr. M. T. Lambeth of the Metho- dist Children’s Home in Win- ston-Salem, Vice - President, and Mrs. Myrtice Price of Gould Cottage, Savannah, Ga., Secretary-Treasurer. A committee was appointed to draw up By-laws for the As- sociation and to present them at its next meeting. The Con- ference, having voted to con- tinue the Child Care Project for another three years, elect- ed the following to serve as a Board of Governors for the Child Care Project: Leon Smith, Virginia Meth- odist, Richmond, Va, Sam Smith, Connie Max- well, Greenwood, S. C. Frank Hough, Virginia Baptist, Salem, Va. (Continued on Page 3) PAGE TWO UNDER THE STEEPLE By REV. HUGH B. CARTER, JR. The month of March provided more activity under the steeple than we have seen in a long time. The most active groups were the choirs and the Senior Highs. The choirs began getting ready for Easter early in the month with extra prac- tice sessions on Sunday afternoon. During the week of special services the Chancel Choir rendered “O Sacred Head’”’ for the Communion Service. For the Sunrise worship on Easter the choir did “In Joseph’s Lovely Garden,” and for the regular Sunday morning service the beautiful anthem “Now Christ Is Risen From The Dead” was given. Echo effects were provided by a portion of the choir in the rear balcony. A Processional on Easter to the Hymn “Jesus Christ Is Risen Today”’ includ- ed the Junior Choral Club, the Little Girls and the Little Boys’ Choirs. The Junior Choral Group also did a special Call To Worship on Palm Sunday. We are justifiably proud of our combined choirs under the steeple and of our very fine or- ganist and choir director, Miss Charlotte Calhoun. She is as- sisted by Miss Julia Clendenin and Mrs. Forest Price. Miss Patricia Buercklin is our soprano soloist. The Senior Highs were busy outside as well as under the steeple. The group sponsored a mid-March dance. The partici- pation of many committees and individuals added to the felic- ity of this semi-formal occasion. The March meeting of the council was held at the home of Julia Clendenin at which time plans were laid for the election of officers for the coming year and the date was set for a joint meeting of the out-going and in-coming councils. The council added to the pre-Easter week of services by making an eight-foot cross and placing it in the chancel of the sanctuary. Senior Highs attended the Spring Rally at Lenoir on April 5, and were hosts to the SHF from Red Springs, N. C. on March 22. Two special offerings have been received in recent weeks. The congregation gave eighty-five dollars following the week of prayer and self-denial for World Missions and some sixty- odd dollars on Easter Day for the relief of the needy and suf- fering overseas. Forty-one guests signed the Register during March servic- es but we have the feeling that a good many more than that were fellow-worshippers with us. It is always a pleasure to have visitors in our congregation on Sunday morning. We added Gerry David Martin to our roll by transfer of letter from the Presbyterian Church in Marshville, N. C. on March 29. Gerry was taken immediately into the choir and is active in the SHF. Plans are underway for a Vacation Bible School to begin May 19 continuing through May 29. Directors for the School will be Miss Faye Stevenson and Miss Eleanor Miller. The mood of the Easter season is still upon us and in that mood we remember that Jesus was more powerful in Jerusa- lem during the days and weeks which followed the Resurrec- tion than He was during the three years which preceded his death. Moreover, the power and persuasion of His presence has reached across the centuries and the seas until we must admit, if we are honest, that today Jesus is our most pre-emi- nent Contemporary. BARIUM CAGERS GIVEN AWARDS (Continued from Page 1) Both junior girls and boys teams were undefeated. It was the first time in several years that the junior girls had compiled that distinction and Calhoun singled out Pamela Fair and Ellen Neill, for- wards, and guards Margaret Ramsey, Tyressa Taylor and Peggy Bridgers as the girls “who bore the brunt of the load and they’ll bear watching in the future.” The junior boys also had a 4-0 record, with Edward Barefoot, Braxton Bridgers, Charles McLean, Bobby Ram- sey and Gene Taylor forming the starting unit. “The only trouble we had was trying to hold down the score,” Calhoun said. The starting five saw little action as the junior club more than doubled the score on most opponents and holds better height than the varsity unit. Of the varsity girls, Cal- houn pointed out that ‘“‘you’ll be seeing most of these for a long time.” He tabbed the club as an “amazing team. Some of us wondered before the season if we would win a game,” the veteran Barium mentor said. Barium’s girls won four, lost four or five others by close margins and had some of the powers in the conference wor- ried until the final quarter. Composed of predominantly sophomores and_ freshmen, THE BARIUM MESSENGER APRIL 1959 always to reach higher.” highly.” memory.” Barium Springs. IAI aA Ta Coe LES) TRIBUTE TO A TEACHER Since Mrs, John Q. Holton’s death, many memorial gifts have been received and many tributes have been paid her by word of mouth and through corres- pondence, Some of them are published here. “Mrs. Holton was my teacher, first in the fifth grade. From that time on through my earlier years of teaching she was an inspiration to me and urged me “Mrs. Holton never taught me, but I knew her as a teacher and loved her very sincerely.” —From Barium Springs “I knew Mrs. Holton well. She taught all of my children and was a good teacher. She was considered hard but fair and the boys and girls respected her —From Barium Springs “Mrs. Holton taught each one of us in the seventh grade, She was one of the finest teachers and a real friend as well. We all loved her and cherish her —From Winston-Salem Thus the story runs about a life dedicated to teaching. For more than two decades her inspiration and influence was known to the boys and giris of —From Virginia only one girl will be lost next season. Judy Bolton is the only senior, while Beverly McClure is a junior. The rest are lower class members. “You don’t build champion- ships with sophomores and freshmen. They look great for the future to me. We never had size like this before,” Cal- houn remarked, and brought laughter from the large crowd assembled. Calhoun described the Bar- ium varsity quintet as “a little team that played as if they were big.” Barium lacked height, but more than made up the lack in hustle. They moved to the semifinals of the Piedmont Conferences tournament, had a fourth place finish in the conference and came up with an overall 3-7 record. “The most we were beaten by in this day of race horse basketball was 11 points and we were playing against what I think was the best competition in North Carolina. This team done more with what they had than any team I ever had. They played big. They played like tall men and did more without height than any team we've ever had... an amazing season for a fine bunch of boys.” Calhoun presented letters to the following: Varsity Girls—Judy Bol- ton, Virginia Kiser, Marcia Lewis, Beverly McClure, Elva Medlin, Patsy Porter, Patsy Xoss and Jackie Taylor. Varsity Boys — Richard Blackburn, Jim Bunnell, Don- ald Frazier, Kenny Joyner, Ricky McArthur, Dicky Mc- Kenzie, Joe Ramsey, Randy Shaw and Wayne Wright. Junior Girls—Lois Allen, Eloise Barefoot, Suzie Black- burn, Brenda Blake, Mary Jane Bolton, Peggy Bridgers, Sue Bush, Linda Byrd, Donna Edmisten, Pamela Fair, Rita Harris, Ellen Neill, Margaret Ramsey and Tyressa Taylor. Junior Boys— Edward Barefoot, Braxton Bridgers, Henry Bridgers, Howard Cox, Douglas Finley, Tommy Joy- ner, Charles McLean, Bobby Ramsey and Gene Taylor. COTTAGE NEWS Infirmary Hello Everyone— Here are the Infirmary girls again. We have not had very many sick people until now, and we have only three children with chicken pox and one with measles. Some of the children have had colds. The Infirmary has a new clock which we received from Mrs. W. IH. Gaylor and other members of The Sprunt Bible Class in Wilmington. We told you about this last month but we are still talking about it. It helps us to get to school on time and we especially like the little light on it which shines at night so we can see without turning on the hall light. We had a good Easter Sea- son and were glad to have a holiday to catch up with some of our “home work.” We hope that all of our readers had a good Easter Season. The Infirmary Girls Rumple Hall Hi There— We are back again with our tiny bits of news. First of all, there are our Spring dresses. All of our dresses are pretty, and just to show them off we had a Fashion Show. We en- joyed it every bit as much as our guests did, if not more.

We had services from Monday through Thursday night and then a service on Friday afternoon, and on Sun- day we had an early sunrise service in addition to our reg- ular Sunday service. It was all very effective, and we commend Mr. Carter and Miss Charlotte Calhoun and her choirs on the good job done. _ Nancy Finley has our only birthday this month, Her cake was fixed like an Easter bas- ket and was real pretty. In April we will have three birthdays—Mary Della Hyde, Jeanette Grier, and Miss Sims. We are looking forward to our Piano recitals and are working hard on our pieces. Elva Medlin and the Rumple Hall Girls South Cottage Hi Friends— It is news time again. We all have had a wonderful Eas- ter this year. To make the meaning of Easter more clear to us, Mr. Carter planned a week of pre-Easter services, with the theme of “Jesus Fac- es His Death.” Also, Easter Morning, we had a Sunrise Service as well as the regular service at «leven o’clock. We all thank Mr. Carter for the planning and making these services possible. Our Varsity Basketball Team of boys was put out of the tournament—Thomasville defeated them by nine points in a terrific upset. It is Spring now and we are looking forward to Summer. The grass is greener and the apple and pear trees are in bloom at Barium. Flowers seem to have sprung up all around the campus as if by magic. The weather is much warmer and it is about time for Spring Fever to make its yearly round. School will be out in about six weeks and we are all look- ing forward to that. We are all anxious to get into the (Continued on Page 3) — se ee — a > iv We re Tr. ne rs al] oy ch ne its ut k- re he APRIL 1959 THE BARIUM MESSENGER PAGE THREE What We Expect Of Houseparents By ALTON M. BROTEN The position of houseparent has grown in stature during recent years. Particularly to- day a great deal of emphasis is being placed upon the im- portance of our institutions’ being staffed by able persons in these vital spots. The abil- ity of the houseparent to do the job that is being cut out for her depends largely upon personality and training. What are we asking of the houseparents? These are some of our expectations: Take direct responsibility for a group of children, usual- ly unrelated, who come from a variety of situations and for whom the future holds a variety of possibilities. Provide and maintain an organized, though relaxed, cottage which embodies many homelike qualities and allows for the healthy development of each child. Come to an understanding of each individual child with- in the cottage, of his back- ground, of his immediate ad- justment, and of the planning under way for his future. Help to guide the progress and development of the group itself so the life together will work for the benefit of each individual youngster. Provide for the physical care of each individual child. Be ready to meet each child’s “hour of need” by lis- tening, or counselling, or sup- porting. Know where to go for help or where to secure help for the child. Accept parents and rela- tives, even though they have rejected the children and do not share one’s own standards. Be willing to devote oneself to the job without losing one’s own personal identity, com- plete with outside interests and activities and fresh ap- proach to daily living. Recognize the professional- ism of the position, thus being able to share confidential and meaningful information and ideas, being able to recognize the purpose of other positions, and being able to participate in a team approach. COTTAGE NEWS (Continued from Page 2) Summer activities. What a time we will have in the Sum- mer! The Boy Scouts who are in our cottage have gotten new suits and are very proud of them. The Boy Scouts in our cottage who received new suits are: Clyde Mace, Dwight Lefler, Alfred Blake, and Tommy Bush. Keep up the good work, boys. About all for now—we will see you next month. So long until then. Ronald Brown and the Boys of South Cottage Come equipped with physi- cal stamina, patience, sensi- tivity, intelligence, and a sound philosophy of life in order to be firm, consistent, kind, and a living model tor children to follow. Be able to find personal satisfaction in the position without becoming overly in- volved. Find enjoyment in most of the daily experiences. Do not find it necessary to over meet own emotional needs through relationship to job or to children. Find satisfaction in work- ing and living closely with other adults. Be not inclined to react strongly toward what may be seen as limitations in others. Assume an optimistic and perspective viewpoint of the program in order to continue consistently day by day to carry through on responsibili- ties. Be open-minded and willing to listen and learn and be corrected. Be ready to express own convictions. Are we expecting too much of an individual in this posi- tion? Are we _ setting our sights too high? How can anyone be a parent, psycholo- gist, caseworker, educator, group worker, spiritual advis- er, disciplinarian, cook, house- keeper, nurse, friend, recrea- tion leader and counselor—all rolled into one? I do not believe that we are setting our sights too high provided we are realistic and thoughtful and farsighted in our over-all program plann- ing. We are not looking for ex- perts in each one of these areas. Rather, the housepar- ent needs to be someone who is emotionally well-balanced, ean live fairly easily with either children or adults, and who is able to grow in over- all ability. She must have a certain natural ability and this coupled with training and support on the job can make it possible for her to come up to expectations.

The effects of graduation are being felt under the steeple as we watch the Seniors solemnly don their caps and gowns and move out towards others spires and steeples. The choir shall miss Julia Clendenin, Edna Evans, Kenneth Joyner and Wayne Wright; the Usher’s Guild will feel the loss of their faithful Captain, Donald Frazier and dependable Joe Ramsey ; the Senior High Fellowship Council has to say good-bye to Richard Blackburn, Julia Clendenin, Edna Evans and Wayne Wright. “The old order changeth, yielding place to new. . a and we shall be depending upon others to be taking up where our grads are leaving off their well done work! One of our members of long standing, Mrs. Minnie Eliza- beth Brown Whitener, received her final promotion and en- tered the Father’s House on April 3, 1959 where she joined her husband, a former elder in this church. Mrs. Whitener was received into Little Joe’s Church on March 2, 1924. The Women of the Church have assumed the responsibility for a Nursery for pre-school children each Sunday during the Church hour. The Nursery will be kept in the air conditioned comfort of Fellowship Hall, and will be equipped to care for children of all ages who are not in school, A clothing drive was carried out during the month of April under the auspices of the chairmen of World Missions. The Men of the Church had their final supper meeting of the season under the shade trees back of the Neill home with S. A. Grier, A. M. and R. G. Calhoun serving and cook- ing King Mackerel with all the trimmings. J. W. Crews and Terrell Hall attended a district meeting for the Men of the Presbytery at Calvary Church in Davidson during April. Meetings here will resume in August. The Usher’s Guild has been strengthened by the addition of six members who were elected by the Session. They are Walter Barefoot, Howard Cox, Douglas Finley, Charles Mc- Lean, Bobby Ramsey, and Jim White. James Blake, Henry Harris and Lacy Lentz complete the Guild and Blake was named Captain by his associates, following Donald Frazier who graduated. The Senior High Fellowship has named the following of- ficers: Dickie McKenzie re-elected President, Jean Murdock, Vice President, Henry Bridgers, Treasurer, and Helen Spen- cer re-elected Secretary. Appointed to serve with these officers on the Council were the following: Beverly McClure, Jim Blake, Charles McLean, Elva Medlin, and Audrey Waters. Our Fellowship was honored at the election of Beverly Mc- Clure to the Presbytery’s Council where she will fill the office of Stated Clerk. Pioneers are in the throes of writing, staging and produc- ing an outdoor religious drama, depicting the life of the pro- phet Jeremiah. The production is scheduled for the afternoon of June 14. Pioneers have been organized into teams to ac- complish this vast project. The Council has appointed the fol- lowing team leaders: Peggy Bridgers for the Prophets, Tommy Joyner over the Princes, Frosty Murdoch heads the Apostles, Judy Shaw commands the Judges, and Clarence Wilkins rules the Kings. Behind the pulpit last month, Dr. George Staples supplied for the minister who was away for anniversary celebrations at his home church in Jacksonville, Florida. Dr. Staples, Chap- lain at Davidson College has always exercised a popular pul- pit ministry here. A summer class for those who want to make a profession of faith has begun, and will continue through June 21. On the last Sunday of June the candidates will be received into the full communion of the church and we will observe the sacra- ment of the Lord’s Supper.

JOHNSON CHOSEN AT MAXTON The Scottish Chief of Max- ton, North Carolina, recently carried the picture of W. A. Johnson who was a Barium boy, with the following article written by Pete Hasty: “Maxton’s Citizen of the Month for the month of April 1959, is William Allen John- son. “Bill,” as he is known to all Maxtonians is owner and manager of Maxton Funeral Home located on Florence Street in Maxton. “Since choosing Maxton as his home, Bill has made a re- markable record of service to the community; serving the town in any capacity neces- sary for it’s betterment. One of the finest achievements that he has made, is his great number of friends, not only in the town of Maxton, but everywhere he goes; there are not many people who can’t call Bill, friend. “Bill has been active in Boy Scout work, the church, the Mormax Ciub, of which he is president, the Masons, and the newly formed Junior Chamber of Commerce. “His participation also in- cludes serving on the town board of commissioners for several years and serving as manager of the cemetery. His interest and energy in civic affairs has been tireless and he often spends his own time and resources to make this a better community. “As Project Chairman in the Finer Carolina contest, Bill has done an outstanding job in beautifying the ceme- tery and improving the Boy Scout hut. Of course, these jobs could not have been ac- complished without the help of many more interested per- sons and credit should cer- tainly be given to all who have helped, but Bill undertook the projects which have been com- pleted to such a degree as to help us win “Town of the Month” award twice. “The people of Maxton are proud to have Bill Johnson among it’s citizenry and we are equally as proud to pro- claim him Citizen of the Month for April.” Mr. Hasty in a letter said “For a little background on Bill’s selection, I think it might be well to mention that he is a member of the Maxton Business Men’s Association which is the sponsor for this award. The original instruc- tions on choosing a Citizen of the Month was someone who normally does not get a lot of publicity for work done for the town and not a member of the Maxton Business Men’s Association. Bill, as a choice, was so strong, that the Asso- ciation allowed him to become a Citizen of the Month.” ALUMNI NEWS Oscar Utsman, student at the Naval Training School in Memphis, spent a few days at Barium.

COTTAGE NEWS North Cottage Hi Folks Everyone in our cottage was buzzing with excitement a few weeks ago. What was it? Why our new living-room furniture, of course! We waited almost impatiently for months and finally the big truck rolled up. I'll bet that no one could be more proud of a room than we are of the living-room. On her last week-end off, our housemother, Mrs. Ellis, went to Georgia and enjoyed herself fishing. When she got back we all enjoyed helping to eat some of the thirty fish which she caught. I know that fish grow after they are caught, so I will only say that our biggest eater was full after eating one fish. Some of our girls had a chance to entertain recently in the piano recital. We were proud of Peggy McDonald, Mae Jolly, and Wilma Bush. We are looking forward to having some members of the Board of Regents stay in our cottage when they meet here on the 14th. They will be running us out of our rooms for a couple of days, but after all we are given, we are glad to be able to share ii. When we came home from the piano recital on Friday night we surprised Mrs. Ellis with a birthday party. We had given her the impression that we had forgotten her birthday. She certainly was surprised and everyone had a good time. We received a nice gift from the First Presbyterian Church in Mooresville. We are looking forward to a visit from these friends soon. We have one senior in our cottage who will be leaving us soon. Edria Evans is graduat- ing from high school this year and will be attending Appala- chian State Teachers’ College in Boone. We surely have en- joyed having her in our cot- tage and hate to see her leave. The North Cottage Girls South Cottage Hi Friends — It is our news time again. School is almost out and everybody is excited about it. Our seniors are looking for- ward to graduation the latter part of May. We will be sorry to see them leave but we wish them good luck and happiness in the future. Joe Ramsey was the only senior who went with his class on their annual trip. They planned to see sights in Washington and New York. Also, they hoped to see a TV Show. Spring has been welcomed to the Barium campus. We were all happy to throw off our shirts and shoes, put on our shorts and lie in the sun. The campus is very beautiful —flowers are blooming, trees are budding, and the grass is green and pretty. We have gotten some new furniture in our cottage and we are real proud of it. It is so pretty, and we also have new draperies. We feel real dressed up; it is nice and comfortabie and we are en- joying it. The Pioneers have under- taken to make a character study of Jeremiah, the pro- phet. They are getting along pretty good so far. We are divided into small groups and are working for winning points. Softball is now the chief sport on the campus. The high schoo! boys play games after supper. The others play dur- ing the recreation period in school. We enjoy all the gam- PAGE THREE es whether we are playing or watching. Ronald Brown and the Boys at South Cottage Rumple Hall Hi There! Here are the Rumple Hall girls again with our news. We have had several birthday parties this month. First, we had a party for Jeanette Grier and Mary Dello Hyde. Then, we had a party for Mr. Carter, and was he surprised! As a special treat to us, he brought his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh B. Carter, Sr., who were visiting him at the time. Even though we had not met them before, by the time the party was over we felt very close to them. I do not know about the Carters, but speak- ing for the Rumple Hall girls, we had a wonderful time. The next was our biggest surprise party of all. We gave Miss Sims her birthday party. We gave it to her on Saturday afternoon and she did not know a single thing the whole time until we sang “Happy Birthday” too soon. We all had a wonderful time though, and she was just as surprised, even though we did make a mistake. The first through the sixth grades had their Piano Recit- all on April 21st. From our building we had Linda Sue Medlin and Lou Anna Bridg- ers playing. They did real well. The third and fifth grades also sang that night. From our cottage Mary Della Hyde and Nancy Finley sang. On May lst, the seventh through the twelfth grades are having their piano recital. Those from our cottage who will play are: Linda Byrd, Joyce Ann Hughes, Sue Bush, Nancy Joyner, Vickie Braf- ford, and Elva Medlin. Let’s wish them luck on Thursday, May 7th, the Choral Club is giving their program. I hear that they have some real good music.

Barium’s last day was May 18th and “old Slow- pokey” Troutman’s last day was May 26th, Most of our grades were good, but we have all decided to try harder next year. We will have two “brand new” freshmen next year. They are Sue Bush and Linda Byrd. Linda Sue Medlin, Lou An- na Bridgers and Linda Byrd all had birthdays in May. We all have new work for the summer and most of us are pleased with it. Vacation begins on July 3rd, and we are getting excit- ed already. Our schedule is not going to be all work this summer. We have a real good recreation schedule this year. The tennis courts are open, as well as the Gym, and the Pool, and there will be various oth- er things taking place, such as singing and dancing. Three of our girls are going to camp this year. Joyce Ann Hughes is going to Pioneer Camp and Elva Medlin and Vicki Brafford are going to Senior High Camp. The Rumple Hall Girls Infirmary Here are the Infirmary girls again. A lot of things have happened since we wrote the last time. For one thing, we have had several people in bed sick. Right now, we have two girls with the measles and one boy with the chicken pox. Everybody is happy be- cause school is out. Both of the Infirmary girls passed their grades. We were sorry to see all of the seniors leave. One of our girls sang in the Glee Club at the graduation at Troutman. Both of our Infirmary girls are going to Camp this year, leaving on the 6th of June and returning on the 13th. We are all looking forward to vacation which starts on July 3rd and ends July 21st.

No. 6 Board Of Regents Hold Meeting The Board of Regents con- vened in the regular spring session at Barium during the month of May. The Board, with M. C. Benton, Jr., presi- dent, presiding, heard good reports from the various com- mittees. The Farm Commit- tee, under the chairmanship of R. L. Corbett, reported the farm in excellent condition and the grain crop unusually heavy this year. Apples will be less than last year but the peach crop will be about the same. The gardens are in good shape, producing early vegetables for both table and market. The _ strawberries were bountiful and added to the breakfast cereals and to short-cakes for the evening meal. The Buildings & Grounds Commitee, with Ennis Jack- son, chairman, reported many needs in the old buildings but offered commendation for the beautiful grass and the loveli- ness of the campus. Possible plans for renovation of the Boyd Building and the High School Building were present- ed to the Board. Special con- cern for the water supply was noted and the Board took definite action to seek water from some source other than the Barium wells, thus rid- ding the campus of having to use the rusty water that so mars the fixtures and dis- colors the clothing. The Case Work Committee, under the direction of Mrs. Lewis Schenck, announced plans for a special study of the Case Work Department at Barium Springs this fall. At that time the committee will thoroughly explore the whole department in its intake poli- cies and assist the administra- tion in carrying on the social work of the Home. Dr. Joseph Carter, report- ing for the Committee on Re- ligion and Education, express- ed great satisfaction in the three years of the high school’s experiences at Trout- man and expressed confidence that this was a good move for (Continued on Page 2) HOMECOMING All former students and friends of Barium Springs are invited to Homecoming on Au-_— |] gust 9th.

An additional recom- mendation was offered to re- quest the Iredell County Board of Education to receive at Troutman as soon as possi- ble grades five, six, seven and eight of the Barium Elemen- tary School. The Committee on Finance and Budget prepared and pre- sented a budget for the year October Ist, 1959 to Septem- ber 30, 1960. This was ap- proved and forwarded to the Synod’s Council for its con- sideration and_ presentation to the Synod of North Caro- lina. Special consideration was given to the funds invest- ed by the Wachovia Bank & Trust Company. All of these funds were consolidated into one unit for investment pur- poses on the part of the Bank, but will retain their identity in the records of the Home. This will enhance the invest- ments and earnings of the funds of the Home. The Board was generous in its commendations for the children of the Home and for the work of the staff with the boys and girls.

Vacation Time Is Coming Vacation time for the Home will be July 8rd _ through July 21st for the boys and girls. Miss Rebekah Carpen- ter, the caseworker, has been busy for many weeks making arrangements for the child- ren to return to their home communities. Suitcases, laun- dry bags, and packing boxes have been rounded up; clothes have been washed and ironed and shoes polished and hair cut. When the morning of July 3rd comes breakfast is going to be an exciting time because at seven o’clock vaca- tion will get underway. There will be left on the campus only a skeleton crew to carry on the necessary work. The cows refuse to take a vacation and will have to be milked; the grass just refus- es to stop growing during the vacation time and will have to be cut; the pigs and the chickens have the habit of eat- ing and want to carry on dur- ing the vacation time and they will have to be fed. The Summer Repair Program be- ing carried on by the mainte- nance department will be kept up, for a great deal of the carpenter work will have to be done by personnel em- ployed for that purpose. The three week-ends and almost the three weeks will give the boys and girls and the staff time to catch their breath and do some visiting in the middle of the summer and then be back in time for the gathering of the peaches which should be ripening the fourth week in July.

It is no easy matter to keep five hundred acres under cultiva- tion, harvesting hay from a hundred of these acres and combining 5,000 bushels of small grain, planting and cut- ting enough ensilage to fill three trenches, holding all to- gether five hundred tons. Six hundred bearing peach trees must be sprayed regularly, as well as the eight hundred ap- ple trees. The grounds must be cultivated and cared for with the weeds kept cut down, The crates have to be mended and made ready for the sum- mer and fall crop of fruit. The dairy crew is busy mending fences in the five- mile pasture, looking out for the one hundred head of cat- tle in the beef herd, and milk- ing the forty-five Holsteins that make up the dairy herd. This crew also has undertak- en to paint the inside and out- side of the milking barn to meet the top specifications of the County Health Depart- ment, While the farmers are busy trying to kill grass, the cam- pus crew is busy trying to get it to grow, trimmed and look- ing neat. Shrubbery must be cut back, screens must be re- paired, painting must be done, floors must be sanded and fixed, wiring has to be replaced, light bulbs checked, the plumbing lines kept re- paired and the sewage dispos- al system kept running. Of course, these jobs are primar- ily for the boys and men, but never think for one minute that the women and girls are not just as busy. Three meals a day to be prepared for this large family and the dishes washed and made sterile, ready to start over again the next day with three more meals. The truck brings the big baskets of clothes into the laundry and throughout the week Mrs. Murdoch and her crew are busy washing and ironing for the family. The sewing room is running ful! blast to catch up on the needs that were laid aside for the special work on_ evening dresses for Junior-Senior and commencement, etc., and the machines are really humming. In addition to these, the In- firmary must be maintained, the cottages must be served, and a thousand and one other things seem to come up dur- ing the day. All is not work, for there is time for play. Swimming and tennis, softball and skat- ing, together with the song fests and folk dancing—these plus a little special dating on campus and off add spice to the life of the summer pro- gram, Worship, too, is a large part of the summer at Bar- ium Springs. Summer camps and conferences are open, the Bible School is conducted, special Young People’s pro- grams and the regular servic- es of worship through the Church School and Church Services prevail. It is an in- teresting, busy and wonderful time. Barium Springs Elementary School Recommended For State Accreditation (By Mrs. Blanche S. Reitzel, Supervisor Iredell County Elementary Schools) At the close of the school year 1958-59 Barium Springs Elementary School was rec- ommended to the State De- partment of Public Instruc- tion for state accreditation. The recommendation was made by C. G. Credle, Super- intendent of Iredell County Schools and Mrs. Blanche §. Reitzel, Elementary Super- visor, The State Department of Public Instruction has set up standards which schools must meet if they are to be placed on the list of accredited schools in North Carolina. Minimum requirements are the same for all schools whether they are in large cities or in rural areas. These requirements are all inclusive because they cover such things as: organization and administration, school build- ings and grounds, teaching materials and equipment, and certification of teachers; as well as the instructional pro- gram. Provision of the school building and teaching equip- ment is the responsibility of those who provide funds for operating the Children’s Home at Barium Springs. The type of instructional program provided is largely the res- ponsibility of those serving on the school faculty. In prepara- tion for school accreditation the faculty devoted a great (Continued on Page 2) JULY-AUGUST ISSUE The Barium Messenger will not be published next month. This is your July-August issue. PAGE TWO THE BARIUM MESSENGER JULY-AUGUST, 1959 UNDER THE STEEPLE By Rev. HUGH B. CARTER, JR. June 28, the last Sunday before vacation was an exciting day under the steeple of Little Joe’s Church. The morning wor- ship began with a processional led by the thirty-two members of the choir, who were followed by the seven candidates for baptism and reception to the Lord’s Supper. Then came the Session followed by the Reverend Albert B. McClure and the pastor, Mae Jolly, Linda Bridgers, Naoka Spencer, and Peggy Jo Utsman received the sacrament of baptism. Charles Mc- Bennett, Billy Finley, and Linda Sue Medlin joined the candi- dates in making their profession of faith in Jesus Christ, and all were admitted to the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. There were two infant baptisms during the month of June. Richard Terrell Hall, the son of Deacon and Mrs. Terrell] Hall was baptized on June 21 at the morning worship, At the same time Laura Michele Horsman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Craig Horsman, grandchild of Elder and Mrs, C. L. Donaldson, re- ceived the sacrament. Both infants are grandchildren of Bar- ium Springs. The wedding of our beloved and talented organist and choir director, Miss Charlotte Willard Calhoun to Mr. Clinton Ikugene Clontz of Troutman, took place on Saturday afternoon, July 11 under the steeple. Mr. and Mrs. Clontz will make their home nearby and we shall have the good fortune of the con- tinuing services of our church organist. Sunday visitors were numerous during the month of June. They came from Charlotte, Statesville, Indian Hill, Monroe, N. Wilkesboro, Jamestown and Troutman, The Junior Depart- ments of Vacation Church Schools from Mooresville Second Presbyterian Church and Statesville were weekday visitors during June. Other groups came from Fayetteville and Spring Lake. The Pioneers watched a close race to the finish in their group contest which closed on June 14. The Prophets, headed by Peggy Bridgers, nosed out the Princes by one point, and the Apostles who had set the pace most of the way came in third just two points behind the winners. Tommy Joyner led the Princes, and Frosty Murdoch was the chief Apostle. The winning team composed of Peggy Bridgers, Rita Harris, Judy Smith, Larry Ruff, Dempsey Tyndall and Arthur Weincken, enjoyed a supper at a local restaurant, followed by a night swimming party at Grace Park Recreation Center in States- ville. As the minister marks the passing of his first year under the steeple of Little Joe’s Church on the campus of Barium Springs, he recalls the voice of the Psalmist, “The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places yea, I have a goodly heritage.” Presbyterian Orphans’ Home 3arium Springs, N.

We be- lieve that: 1. t.aucation should enable a person to make a better liv- ing, but shouid also enable him to live a happier and more complete life through interest in and appreciation of literature, inusic, art, and religion, 2. Initiative and_ self-ex- pression should be encourag- ed and guided into channels of service, co-operative effort, tolerance, and respect for duly constituted authority. 3. Education should’ be flexible so as to meet individ- ual needs; that is, to help each child to develop to his maximum capacity. 4. Students should be taught to expect change and to adjust themselves to it, to think logically in problem sit- uations; and to form judg- ments in the light of facts, rather than prejudices. 5. Education should devel- op ethical character through training in honesty in all school work, fair play in ath- leties, respect for property, and in an attitude of rever- ence toward sacred things. 6. It is especially important in our school, that the child- ren be given a feeling of se- curity in the assurance that someone loves them. 7. Itis vital to have a max- imum co-operative effort by the school, home, church, etc., in order to meet the needs of the child. In determining the task of the school it was deemed ne- cessary for the school pro- gram not only to meet the (Continued on Page 3) JULY-AUGUST, 1959 needs of the child but also to consider the society in which he lives. We felt the need of impressing upon the child the importance of learning things in order to be a better citizen, not only in our present com- munity but for future life in any community. In appraising school living and attacking problems in teaching areas, it was agreed that efforts should be made to work more closely with houseparents and social work- ers in the guidance and devel- opment of our students. Boys and girls need to see and understand the value of their schoo] experiences. More par- ticipation and planning on their part would create in- terest and give them a more meaningful school and home life. A discussion on resources seemed to indicate that more use could be made of those things about us and that more pupil participation might add enthusiasm. It was agreed that there are many possibili- ties in our immediate com- munity. In looking back over our school philosophy and then seeking an evaluation of the growth of a child, it seemed evident that we do not always take all things into considera- tion. Family backgrounds and emotional situations often cause our children to perform strangely under certain cir- cumstances. Therefore, many things must be considered as we attempt to evaluate pupil growth. At Barium Springs the teachers have frequent conferences with the children and observe their work close- ly, giving help and encourage- ment to each individual. A congenial, friendly relation- ship between members of the faculty makes a_ healthy atmosphere for doing the best work with children. We discussed Improving School Living through the School Lunch Program. The need for the development ot desirable food habits and good table manners was stressed. Proper training in conversation with respect to topics and tone was mention- ed. The lunch period affords further opportunity for prop- er emotional] and social devel- opment. Different age groups sit together at the same table, and that gives more of a nor- mal home atmosphere. The Language Arts are the arts of communication which include: clear thinking, vivid speech, intelligible writing, appreciative listening, read- ing with comprehension and appreciation, skillful use of books and libraries, correct spelling and legible handwrit- ing. After discussing these areas, the following conclu- sions were reached. Listening habits can be im- proved by opportunities to lis- ten to materials at each child’s maturity level, dictation exer- cises, questions on materials read to group, and effective oral reading of stories and poems. Speaking and writing op- portunities are given in mean- ingful situations such as class discussions, stories, _pro- grams, Santa Claus letters, and choral reading. Remedial work is based on the child’s need, »pelling is emphasized in all subjects in addition to a dally period, Kach child is en- couraged to Keep his own lst of spelling ‘demons’. Much time is spent in developing Skills In syllables, Sounds, ac- cent, and meaning. Penmanship is taught in a less formal way, empnasizing correct letter Lormation and a legible handwriting in all written work, As we evaluated the arith- metic program, the following are some of our findings: In the primary grades children often have opportunity to use numbers in functional situa- tions. Some of these are ope- rating a play store, observing a clock in the school room, distributing classroom wma- terials, choosing teams and keeping score for teams. Through the management of the concession stand at ath- letic events, the upper grades have actual experience in making change, calculating profits, and in keeping rec- ords of money spent. In looking at our science program, it was felt that we might emphasize more and richer experiences for each child. Opportunities should be given to enable individuais to make discoveries for them- selves by observation and ex- periment. Social Studies provide many opportunities for the children to grow in under- standings and skills necessary for effective living in a demo- cratic society. It is important for each teacher to know what goes on in the years be- low her grade and what takes place in the following grades. One means of achieving ef- fective group living is to have class officers and _ various clubs. This provides oppor- tunity for the teacher and pu- pils to work together closely. We felt most proud of our program when we _ talked about Physical Education, Health and Safety. Our an- nual physical examinations and follow-ups, our physical education facilities, and past safety records were reviewed, but we all realized the need for special emphasis on pos- ture, and the effects of our program on out of school life. Our Music program has been a very satisfying part of our school life. We have al- most one hundred per cent participation in our special voluntary choral groups for boys and girls. Through our art program children are provided ways and means of improving and enriching their lives. They are encouraged to develop a greater appreciation of their own work and the work of others. As we discussed each of the various topics we asked our- selves these questions: 1. What are our strengths in this particular area? 2. What are our weaknesses in this area? 3. What immediate plans can we make for removal of these weaknesses? 4, What long-range plans can be made to eliminate these weaknesses.

HUGH B. CARTER, JR. Special thanks from the congregation and the minister to the girls at Howard and North and Rumple Cottages for folding Church bulletins each week during the summer months. The girls and patients at the infirmary have also had a turn at helping in this way. Some weeks have found the girls doing as many as 500 bulletins or worship programs at a time. Additional thanks to Linda Sue Medlin and Joyce Ann Hughes and Miss Sims for polishing the Communion Service and flower con- tainers and the Baptismal bowl. Mrs. Max L. Gilleland is in charge of the Junior Section of the Nursery (ages one through three) maintained by the Women of the Church during the eleven o'clock worship hour. Children age four and five are cared-for by volunteers, fathers and mothers, who rotate on a schedule that calls for service about every two or three months. The Nursery during the Church Hour is a real convenience to parents with pre-school children. The Choirs of the Church under the faithful direction of Mrs. Clontz deserve honorable mention for outstanding services rendered during the month of August. At the Homecoming Worship, The Child- ren’s Chorus sang “Come, Jesus, Holy Child” and the girl’s chorus did “Open Our Eyes.” The Chancel Choir rendered Beethoven's “The Heaven's Are Declaring.” On the following Sunday, the Little Children’s Choir ages six and seven, sang “God Who Made The Earth,” and on August 23 the Girl’s Chorus joined the Chancel Choir in “O Savior Sweet” by Bach. The Pioneers re-organized with the influx of rising seventh graders who were added to the Pioneer Fellowship following the vacation period. Group Leaders are Lois Allen, Eloise Barefoot, Rita Harris and Joyce Ann Hughes. A joint meeting with the Pioneers of the First Presbyterian Church in Statesville was enjoyed on August 16. Supper was served to our group and the Statesville Pioneers put on a dramatic play which they had written and directed themselves. Later in the month, in connection with a series of programs relating to School Problems and Behavior. Mr. Forrest Price of Troutman will be a guest leader at the Pioneer Meeting. The Senior Highs have been enjoying programs on the subject of Christian Vocations and have had visiting Jeaders from the community to address them on that theme. City Court Judge Jack R. Harris and Troutman High School Teacher E. Y. Martin have been on the program, and other such speakers are anticipated. On August 15 the Senior Highs enjoyed an outing at a nearby recreation center in which the three major actions were swimming, bopping and eating. End of the month plans include an outing for the chancel choir, a retreat for the Senior High Fellowship Council at Camp Grier, a Men of the Church Supper, and Rally Day Exercises and Promotion of Classes. A good text for the encouragement of the flagging spirit during the latter days of summer: “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” (I Cor. 15:58) BARIUM MESSENGER Published Monthly by Presbyterian Orphans’ Home REV.

For JOHN MCCALL July 22, 1959 DEAR MIss CARPENTER: In response to your request, there is enclosed a snap- shot of myself. Please let me know if this is not satisfactory. I feel rather immodest to parade myself before everyone, but [ do believe that my Barium friends are interested in each other's achievements (e.g—the Starling brothers). I do not recall writing about my visit with the Alessan- drinis this past March. Henry and wife had me out to dinner and Victor came over to chat. 1 was very impressed with Henry's fine-looking, happy family. He is a good pro- vider and is skilled in many ways. Ginger and 1} have begun the arduous task of packing and hope to get moved into Buffalo by August Ist. For the first year we will sublet from someone who will go to Europe on a Sabbatical. We drove straight to Buffalo from Min- neapolis and then came home, very tired from the three days of traveling. One can now take a fast toll road all the way from New York to the Wisconsin border. At Buffalo my duties are divided between the Psychology Department and the Vocational Counseling Center there. (Rank - Assistant Professor). I will teach professional Jevel courses in Counseling Psychology to students in the graduate training programs. (Courses in counseling methods, use of tests, and research. ) The Vocational Counseling Center is a very specialized agency which serves the community, plus the more complex vocational-problem students. (Distinct from the usual college guidance center.) We do a lot of diagnostic testing and operate a training program for the graduate students in counseling. the record, I got my M.A. at Columbia in 1951. I then work- ed full-time at Emery for two years. In 1953 I began studies at the University of Minnesota, although 1 worked at the same time: dormitory counseling, research fellowship, in- structor in psychology. In 1957 I came to Carnegie Tech for two years—while working on my thesis in my spare time. My thesis, or dissertation, dealt with the relation between interest and ability. Essentially, I performed an experiment to see if interests in given activities changed after learning about one’s own ability in them and about the ability in them of other persons in the same vocation. The details are quite involved and I will spare you that. The study was mod- erately successful. One of my professional interests is to study the nature of interests and their causes. Some Barium folks have asked why I studied at Min- nesota. For one reason, the University there has a high reputation in the field of Counseling Psychology. (Counseling Psychology is very similar to Clinical, but focuses more on the educational and vocational problems of the normal person.) A practical reason for going to Minnesota was the Research Fellowship offered me when I applied. Last, but not least, 1 was eager to visit the State where my mother grew up and taught school. We have several relatives there now. Since Ginger’s family lives there, we will continue to return. We regret living so far from everyone. I hope the Alessan- drinis, for one, can come by to see us. Again, thanks for your interest in my progress. It is a relief, not to say necessity, to have the doctorate in a college community.

For a decade and a half she had been a part of the office staff of the Home. Having come during the adminis- tration of Dr. J. B. Johnston, she had kept up the voluminous cor- respondence in the Western North Carolina’s Activities Association as well as the correspondence of the Home. Expert in her work and eager in her desire to have the thing done right, Mrs. Bost brought to the Home a quality of service unsurpassed. As she reached the retirement age, she made the choice of with- drawing from the staff and taking up her “rocking chair routine” and planned to become a real financier as she invests her social security money. A successor will be chosen, but no one can replace “Miss Essie B.” She has served the church all her life. In her early childhood, she was a member of the Presbyterian Church, then she served the church as the wife of an Episcopal rector until her husband’s death. Return- ing from Durham, she resumed her residence in Statesville and con- tinued her service to the church by being a part of the Presbyterian family at Barium Springs, but con- tinuing her membership in the Episcopal Church in her home com- munity. Barium Springs is grateful for her stay on the campus, for the magnificent way in which she did her particular work, and for the quality of soul that she demon- strated in her dedicated service.

No. 10 OF THE CHURCH FALL RALLY September 22nd was a great day for Barium Springs and the Men of Concord Presbytery. A new record was set in the attendance of the men at the annual rally in its thirteenth session. From 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon until 9:00 o'clock in the evening men and automobiles covered the whole of the campus. Eight hundred and fifty of them had come from the churches in the Presbytery for a barbecue supper to be served by the students and staff at Barium Springs to be followed by the Fall Rally in Little Joe’s Presbyterian Church. As the men entered the big dining room at Rumple Hall, they were greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Clendenin at the “cider bar.” A hundred gallons of apple cider had been prepared for the occasion and when the meeting was over there was no cider left. Barbe- cue was served in abundance and 75 gallons of coffee and 720 Coca- Colas were consumed in addition to the milk that was used. After the supper the men poured into the sanctuary filling the chan- cel, the nave, the balcony, the narthex, porch and yard for the program that had been prepared by President A. J. Gillespie and his Men's Council. Officers were elect- ed, reports were heard and Dr. George Vick, pastor in Charleston, West Virginia, brought a stirring message to the men. He challenged them to be “God’s man” using all their energies in the work of the kingdom of God. The students and staff of the Home take great pleasure in rend- ering this service to the church and feel a real sense of pride in being able to put on the table many pro- ducts that have grown on the farm and in the orchard. During 40 minutes of the heavy serving, 600 men were served, meaning that every 4 seconds a man was passed down the line with plate in hand ready to begin his evening meal.

What with all the beautiful colors every- where, trees gold, red, green, tinted and blended. And leaves—leaves to decorate the cottage, leaves to study in school, leaves for jumping into, leaves for leaf houses and maybe not so much fun, but leaves for sweeping and raking. Fall time is good old apple time too; there's no apples like Barium upples. They are a great daily treat hut sometimes they are so regular a treat that we are liable to forget how lucky we are to have them. Our cottage has three new girls, Sharon Rogers and Jean Rutter in the fourth grade and Carolyn Ladd in the fifth grade. These three with Bonnie and Marie got to go to the V. F. W. Weiner Roast in Moores- ville last Friday evening. All of us got to go to the football game in Troutman that night.

Those attend- ing were Elder Roger H. Neill, Deacons Joe Ben Gibbs and Arthur Sigmon, and from the Women of the Church, Miss Mary Arthur Sims and Mrs, Glenn Steele. Seventeen members of Little Joe’s Church are away at schools and colleges, and were recognized and set apart with prayer at the Morning Worship service on the first Sunday in September. They are Calvin Burleson, Edna Evans, Ralph Joyner and Peggy Steele (Appalachian State Teacher's College); Thomas Finley, Melvin McKenzie, and A. B. McClure, Jr. (Davidson); Ennis Blackburn, LeNair Burns, Jim Bunnell and Donald Frazier (Presbyterian Junior College); Judy Bolton and Shelby McEwen (Nursing School); Ernest Austin at Lenoir Rhyne, Julia Clendenin at Flora Macdonald, Gerry Martin at Pfeiffer, and Buddy Cochrane at Philips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. Students who have transferred their membership to churches convenient to their schools are Lawton Rice at Lees McRae and Joyce Kelly at Queens. We are proud of this fine group of students and look forward to hearing from them on Christian Student Sunday during the Christmas holidays. The Senior High Fellowship attended supper and a special program of recreation and worship held for them by the Senior Highs at States- ville on September 27, Miss Ruth Griffith, Vocational Guidance Counselor spoke to the group here at another September meeting. The Intensive Bible Study, conducted by the minister, has 25 mem- bers enrolled and will meet three times monthly until the study is com- pleted. Special thanks this month go to the members of the Ushers Guild, led by Jim Blake, for their good work in providing for the comfort of the 850 men who attended the inspirational service held under the steeple for the Men of Concord Presbytery at their Fall Rally.

We started off with high jumping and track, then we had skating, flute playing, swim- ming races, best dives, biggest splash. One of the main events was ihat someone would put a water- melon in the middle of the pool ind the contestants would dive in ind try to get it out. All of this proved that there are a lot of ath- fetes on the campus. The pool is now closed for the season. So long for now, Mike Heritage and the South Cottage Boys NORTH COTTAGE Hi Friends — We all had a good time on our vacation and have been quite busy since then with work, recreation of various kinds, and especially our new tennis court. Everyone seems to enjoy it very much. Friday (Au- gust 14th) we had a big Field Day. There were contests for track, dances, skating and swimming. Everyone took part and we had a loc of fun. Sunday, August 9th, was really a big day for us. We had Home- coming and saw a lot of our old friends. We had a very nice church service with our chancel and junior choirs taking part. At noon we had a big picnic dinner behind the Lottie Walker building. We are glad that school will be starting soon and are looking for- ward to the football games. We are really ready to buckle down and study for awhile. —The North Cottage Girls OCTOBER 1959 RUMPLE HALL We have been in quite a rush since we got back from our vaca- iions in July. The choirs were busy yetting ready for Homecoming, and there have been many activities such as the Ping-Pong Tournament, the Tennis Tournament, and the dance and skating contests, Homecoming was on August 9th und we enjoyed seeing all the people who came back. We have not had any birthdays in August, but we did have one in July. Mary Ann McBennett’s birthday was July 19th. School started August 26th for Troutman, August 27th for Ba- rium, We cannot say we are quite ready for school to start, but are we ever. We will see you next month, and by that time maybe we will have more news.

C., NOVEMBER 1959 No. 11 THANKSGIVING ISSUE THE WORK OF THE CHILDREN PLUS THE GIFTS OF THE CHURCHES MAKES THE WHEELS GO ROUND AT BARIUM The pictures on this page help tell the story of the life at Barium Springs. The daily routine of preparing the meals for the big family requires a tremendous lot of planning and effort. Apple pie is in the process as the girls, assisted by the dietitian, carry on in the kitchen. The Singer sewing machines hum in the big sewing room. Under the direction of the supervisor, the girls help in making the dresses and doing the sewing for the whole campus. The big ironing machine shows three girls rubbing out the wrinkles of the clothes that have just been washed. It takes a lot of water, soap suds and elbow grease to get the clothes ready for the boys and girls in the fifteen cottages. These pictures are typical of the life that goes on daily. Girls, also, assist in the cottages, serve tables, wash dishes, help in the Infirmary, and wherever something needs to be done. The girls are not alone in their efforts in maintain- ing the operation, for the boys, too, are busy. Two are shown in the picture stacking straw to be used in the lounging barn. This year the farm produced 3,000 bales of straw and 15,000 bales of hay. Three big trench silos have been filled, storing over 400 tons of 4 silage for the dairy herd. The center picture shows one of the boys busy with the milking machine. Twice a day, these 45 holstein cows have to be milked and the milk delivered. The Home’s milk is traded for the processed milk and returned to the table so that every child can have a quart and a half a day. The care of these animals plus the concern for 100 head of beef cattle and 200 hogs keeps the staff and the students busy. There is a lot of painting and repairing and grass cutting to be done. The boys in the underpass with their paint brushes represent many hours of labor spent on painting the houses and keeping the campus in good trim . Without work to do there is little chance for happiness, but having a share in the program of the Home keeps the boys and girls busy and gives them the feeling of having a part in what is going on. Eighteen hundred bushels of peaches were picked, eaten, frozen, or sold and the 800 apple trees ordi- narily produce between 3,000 and 4,000 bushels of apples. The boys and girls of Barium Springs have a job to do and they have certainly been busy at it this summer and fall. So their labor and the churches love make a Home for those who live at Barium. FE I AT T IT om OD By Rev, HUGH B. CARTER, JR. THANKSGIVING 1959 Generosity produces thanksgiving. So we are told in Second Corinthians, where the Apostle writes about seed-time and harvest and the far reaching results of sharing. Notice which comes first: generosity, then thanksgiving. Somewhere | remember reading a story of a beg- gar who occupied a certain corner near the center of a small European town. He was despised by the entire township because of his nasty disposition. No matter what was tossed into his ragged cap, the ill tempered fellow cursed and swore and sometimes spit upon those who had meant to show him kindness. No matter what people did for him, he always felt that they should have done more. So he and his bene- factors never had a kind word for one another. Finally, a wealthy man adopted the offensive beggar, took him to his magnificent estate nearby, housed him in a pretty little cottage, and provided him with daily meals. Some months later, the townsfolk “Could you help us?” asked the minister in a letter. A small boy and his mother had come to the office of the pastor seeking help. She found herself unable to care for the child and turned to the Church for assist- ance. The minister in turn sent a letter to the Home to see what the possibilities were for entering the child. The Caseworker then answered the call and began the contacts. She found a thin, little fellow, rather tall for his age, and with unusually keen eyes waiting to see what would happen. She told him the story of the big place at Barium Springs with all the boys and girls—how he would be eating in the dining room with several hundred people—living in a cottage with a group of boys and a housemother—as he grew he would have a chance to work on the farm and play football. His eyes got bigger and bigger and he seemed to tug just a little closer to his mother’s skirt. The only solution, though, was the big, new home and the little fellow joined the big family to be a part of Barium Springs. it seemed from the very start he had some inner resource that made him determined to stand on his own and make the group take notice of him. He grew along through the “snaggled tooth and stumped toe” days and on to putting on his football suit to be a part of the junior team. The backfield was his choice. He wanted to carry that ball. When the opposition was takled by this lad, the ball carrier knew he had been hit. That thin frame grew taller. The muscles grew stronger and the mind continued to do its part witnessed a noticeable change in the beggar. They could hardly believe that he was the same man. His facial expression was kind. He was soft spoken. He, of all people, had mellowed! At last they learned why. Off in the steep hills during one of his lonely wanderings, the beggar had found an injured goat. He had carried the goat back to his cottage to care for it. He had fed the goat from his own table, at times giving it his entire meal. For the first time in his life, the beggar had been generous. For once, he had deprived himself of something in a sacrificial way. His own generosity had given him a thankful heart. This little story does not illustrate the Scriptural text except to point out that generosity comes ahead of thanksgiving. In the case of the ungrateful beggar, it was his own belated generosity that produced his own belated thanksgiving. The Corinthians on the other hand, were told that their generosity, adminis- tered by the Church, would produce thanksgiving in A BOY AND THE CASEWORKER for the grades from early grammar school were at the top of the class. The high school found a tall, clean-cut, clear-eyed boy beginning his studies and his varsity athletic program in football anc! basketball. There was a dream in his mind that some day he might receive an appointment to the Air Force Academy. To that end he would work hard. The body was kept strong through the sports program and the summer work. Extra-curricula activities included the Beta Club, church choir, etc. Girls, too, were a part of the life of this boy, though he seemed a bit reserved in his relation- ships to them. Through the first three years of his high school course, he and the Caseworker kept in close touch with his mother and, thus, was enabled to keep well adjusted in the life of the Home. In the spring of 1959, a new window opened in his life. The director of the scholarship program at one of the outstanding eastern schools came to Barium Springs to explore with this boy the possibility of his enrolling in the school. Questionnaires were filled out and examinations, including the national examina- tions, were taken and all other necessary explorations were made. Then came the letter from Phillips Exeter Academy addressed to the boy, saying: “You have been award- ed an eighteen hundred dollar scholarship for the pur- pose of attending Phillips Exeter Academy next year.” The A’s and At+’s had given him a high rating with the administrations committee and the scholarship com- mittee. the life of other Christians who, for the time being, were dependent upon the generosity of the more privileged. All of which is to say that the traditional football games, and roast tom turkey with cranberry sauce, and gatherings of the homefolks, and even the tra- ditional church-going—these ways by which we cele- brate and enjoy Thanksgiving Day—do not PRODUCE Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving comes AFTER generous giving. Long before Governor Bradford of Massachusetts and his colony of Pilgrims made their way to a rough hewn church to give thanks to a gracious God, a man raised this question in the secret place of his own heart: “What shall | render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?” (Ps. 116:11) And here is the way that he answered himself: “I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving . . .” Generosity that is born of sacrifice will produce Thanksgiving for you and me. Plans had to be made for this new venture. The consent of all people concerned had to be given, the arrangements at the Home had to be made and the Preparations for the new life in Exeter had to be undertaken. The Caseworker and the boy worked together to finish all these. During the summer months, this boy now with the same big eyes, with a strong body, with a keen mind, and with a heart given to Jesus Christ was beginning to wonder about his new venture and to see opening up, possibly, the door to his dream of being admitted to the Air Force Academy someday. Finally, the day came when the shots had all been taken, the papers all filled out and the boy, with his new suitcase packed and ready to go, met the Case- worker. They loaded up in the car and headed for Salisbury. Having prepared a train schedule, the Caseworker put the boy on board in Salisbury to ride the rails to Exeter to the end of his dream. Not all the days from the first meeting with the Caseworker until the train pulled out of the station were days of success and glory. There were the times of disappointment and discipline. There were the times of concern and counsel. There were the days of natural, normal growing, which always has its heartaches as well as its moments of pleasure; but, all put together, make a wonderful story of success for the small lad entrusted to the care of the Home at Barium Springs. This is the work of the Church. This is the work of the Christ. ® its all or at NOVEMBER 1959 ama THE BARIUM STORY —_ Seventy-five years ago Barium Springs was a health resort where people came for rest and a drink of mineral water to restore their physical vigor. Today Barium Springs no longer features the water flowing from the spring for those who are crippled in body, but rather a source of healing for boys and girls of the Presbyterian Church who need restoration in body and spirit. The place is home to hundreds of boys and girls every year. This means food, shelter, cloth- ing, dental work, operations, and work and play and worship. It means security where there was none; it means partnership where there are still those who can share in their lives. The Home is now in its seventh decade, having been established in 1891. Approximately five thousand children have been served by Barium Springs. The present capacity of the Home is 250 children. Ordinarily, children between the ages of five and twelve enter the Home. If a child is older than twelve, needs to come to Barium Springs, and the Home can meet his needs, admission is offered even to a senior in high school. The boys and girls of the Synod of North Carolina come from the Presbyterian churches or through the Presbyterian churches. The preference of placement is given to Presbyterians and those for whom the Presbyterian Church in the local community is responsible. What about finances? Do you have to pay? No child is ever accepted or rejected on the basis of his ability to pay or not to pay. The Presbyterians of the Synod of North Carolina through their contributions support the Home; however, each parent or responsible relative who can make any contribution to the Home for the child is required to do so according to his ability. While the Home becomes the legal custodian, it never becomes the legal guardian. The natural guard- ian, or the legal guardian appointed by the Court, is someone outside of the Home who is responsible for making decisions in the life of the child. The adminis- THE BARIUM MESSENGER tration of the Home will make all decisions pertinent to the child while he is in the custody of the Home, but decisions that pertain to his life, other than its relationship to the Home itself, are made jointly by the administration of the Home and the guardian who is responsible for the placement. The time that a child stays in the Home varies ac- cording to his needs. He may be in the institution for one or two years or it may be necessary for him to stay until he has graduated from the high school. An earnest effort is made to keep in close touch with the folks outside the institution and if the way be clear, return the child to his own home or community. In the event that this is not possible, he may continue at Barium Springs until he has finished school, and then through the Educational Fund receive help in con- tinuing his education or training. What is the greatest need that the Home has? Of course, the greatest need the Home hes is for the Presbyterians and those who love it to pray for this place, the boys and girls and the adult leadership. Effective service cannot be rendered to these children unless the total Church remembers this work in prayer. Dealing with the spirits of these children is the most important part of the work. However, you cannot separate the spirit from the body, and it is also nec- essary to eat food and to wear clothes. This support comes through the Benevolent giving of the Presby- terians and interested friends. The Thanksgiving Offering wherein the Synod asks for $100,000.00 is the main life-line of the Home. The Benevolence per- centage given through the Church is the additional portion. These together make up about two-thirds of the Home’s needed operational budget and the other comes through the products of the farm, earnings from a limited endowment, special gifts from friends and interested persons. The reference to money in the preceding paragraph was to the Operating Budget. The capital outlay has "PAGE THREE been met by the generosity of friends through special gifts or remembrances in their Wills. Two new cot- tages have just been completed. They will both be dedicated to the memory of persons who have left money for this purpose. Thus, in life and death, the Lord guides and His work is carried on in the hearts and lives of the children at Barium Springs. You ask the question—Can ! visit the Home? The answer is Yes. Every week there are visitors who come to the campus. It is a pleasure for the whole Barium Family to have visitors come to see us and to have a meal in the dining-room, go through the cot- tages, and worship in the church with the boys and girls. What about institutional work and its place in the total picture of Child Caring? Today it is commonly agreed that there is a three-fold work in Child Care. Children are provided for through the means of adop- tion, by means of foster homes, and by means of institutional care. The Federal and State government, following in the footsteps of the Church, have turned to the care of children through its Department of Public Welfare. But the State, the Fraternal organizations, and the Churches all together have not yet met the needs of children, and there are hundreds of children still who are standing in need of that which these three agencies have to offer. In North Carolina there is a fine cooperative effort on the part of the denomi- national, fraternal, and state agencies in rendering services to the children of this area. A note came to the business office of the Home saying, “! have just been watching my little grand- child enjoy a new red wagon. | am enclosing a check in order that some child at Barium Springs can have the same pleasure.” That is the whole story. Men and women who love Jesus Christ and minister to Him through the little ones of this Home are affording op- portunity for work and play and worship. It is through such gifts, large and small, that the work of Barium Springs is carried on. The Memorial Educational Fund provides for college and training after Barium Springs. These boys and girls represent the 20 young people from the Home who are either in college or special training this year. THE SYNOD REQUESTS and BARIUM SPRINGS NEEDS YOUR THANKSGIVING OFFERING How Much Will You Give? l} Barium Messenger — VOL. 36 COTTAGE NEWS SANFORD NEWS Hello Friends, I guess you, as well as we, are happy, especially the school child- ren because we only have three days of school this week. But getting out of school is not all there is to Thanksgiving at Barium. At this time, we help show our thanks by giving money to the Home. We are, also, thankful to those who make our Thanksgiving a happy one by giving us turkeys, fruits and other things. Since you heard from us, Carolyn Foy from Gastonia, has come to live with us. She is in the sixth grade and we enjoy having her at our cottage. Basketball started a few weeks ago and several from our cottage went out, but only one made it and that was Jackie Taylor. We hope this will be a real good basketball season. We got our report cards for the second time Thursday and realized our weaknesses. Our high school girls are making good grades, but our little girls are beating us. We all know what we need to work on now so we are going to study hard- er this time. All of us agree that this is the hardest time of the year to study as Christmas is coming up. Ie gets pretty hard to keep your mind on your studies at this time of year. We are all looking forward to Thanksgiving and we hope each and every one of you have a real nice one. Mary Jane Bolton Sanford Girls INFIRMARY NEWS Well, it’s the Infirmary girls again. We have had a lot of people in bed this past month. We wrote our Christmas letters the other week and are looking forward to Christmas. The Senicr High Fellowship is having a Thanksgiving dance on November 27, 1959. Both of the Infirmary girls are passing their grades in school. Everyone got their shots last Tuesday. See you next month. The Infirmary Girls RUMPLE HALL NEWS Hi, It’s the Rumple Hall girls with our news. Basketball practice has started again and we can’t wait for our first game. It is December 2. We are playing with Troutman this year. Troutman got Report Cards. The grades weren't as good as they should be and everyone agreed to try harder. Thanksgiving has just passed and now comes Christmas. We can hardly wait. December marks the end of the first year we have had (Continued on page 2) BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C., DECEMBER 1959 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT The fiscal year October 1, 1958, through September 30, 1959, ended with abundant manifestation ot God’s having been present during the 12 months as they rolled by. His ministry to the members of this Home and his provisions for the needs of this place continue to be the real cause for Thanksgiving. This year continued to be one of transition. The varsity sports pro- gram was changed from the Home to the High School at Troutman and a decision was made to trans- fer grades five through eight to the Troutman school next year. This decision had its effect on the life of the campus and the change-over has demanded a great many new ways of doing things and the neces- sity for continued new planning. Such plans and procedures always have their moments of anxiety. As the year closes, your Superintendent can see no reason for regret for the major decision but still considers it to be the right path for this insti- tution to follow. The discussion of the various phases of the work of the Home with additional comments at the Board meeting and the recom- mendations that must be presented will give a picture of the operation of the Home. RELIGIOUS LIFE Religious nurture has been and still is one of the major reasons for the Home's existence. It is our business to see that these children are “brought up in the admonition TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS and nurture of the Lord.” Cottage parents, on their own and together with the minister have bee 1- ducting family prayers and relig- ious worship in the cottages. kach Sunday morning family prayers are conducted in the dining room by the Superintendent or some mem- ber of the staff. There are about four different choirs under the di- rection of Mrs. Clinton Clontz. This we consider to be a very valuable instruction in worship. Classes are held each year and sometimes twice a year for boys Merry Christmas and and girls who want to unite with the Church. The Senior High Fel- fowship meets every Sunday as does the Pioneer group. The average at- tendance in each of these is about forty. As the Board knows, there is a service each Wednesday eve- ning in the Church conducted by the minister. The regular Sunday morning services of worship have been good during the whole year and special weeks of religious em- phasis have been fine for the campus and community. Reverend Hugh B. Carter, Jr.. the minister, and the Superinten- dent are working together to see in the new set up that provisions can be made through the Church and Home for adequate religious instruction and leadership. This plan will be reflected in budget re- quests and personnel additions, It is earnestly requested that each Regent implore the members of his Presbytery to remember Barium Springs each day in prayer. SOCIAL WORK The Caseworker, Miss Rebekah Carpenter, has put in enough hours for two people in her work in this department. Many fine things re- flect her training for the work and her concern for the children. Case histories and records are on file which manifest back of their filing a tremendous amount of consecrat- ed service to boys and girls. No person connected with Barium Springs has worked more faithfully than the Caseworker. In addition to the things which pertain normally to this depart- ment, there have been added many other valuable things to be done which are time consuming. There is enough work to keep four per- sons busy. It is hoped that in the near future some plan can be work- ed out to add to this department, enabling it to more effectively serve the members of the families and the children on the campus. The Casework Committee will report that our enrollment for the year is anticipated to be about two hundred, with about one hundred seventy-five on campus at the present time and new applications pending. For the last ten years, there has been a steady decline in institutional enrollment in general. A large institution in a nearby city has dropped from four hundred twenty to two hundred eighty. The enrollment at Barium Springs has dropped from about two hundred sixty of ten years ago to the present enrollment. According to the best information, it appears that the admissions are beginning to level off and that the next years will see a continued enrollment of about that which it is now. The space of the Home could be filled in thirty days if all the applications received were admitted. However, the ad- ministration is still admitting only those who are a part of the Pres- byterian Church directly or in- directly and who have the full ap- proval of the local Presbyterian Church in the community from which the application comes. SCHOOL May, 1960, will complete the first full High School cycle in the consolidated school. This year's Seniors entered as Freshmen at Troutman and have received their entire High School course in the new setting. The principal and teachers of the school give good report for the Barium boys and girls in their relationship to the schoo] 1n its various activities. The transition has been much_ better than we had anticipated and, there- fore, more firmly convinces us that it was and is the correct procedure for the Home. It still will take some time to find how best to meet the needs of the boys and girls in this broader and new relationship to the outside community and we in the Home are still working hard to discover them. As for the elementary school, a portion of the principal's report will serve to describe the proce- dures: “The 1958-1959 school year closed May 18 with one hundred twenty-five students enrolled. Forty- five made the Honor Roll for the year and only twelve were not pro- moted. We had a very good 98.6 per cent in average daily attendance for the year. The 1959-1960 ses- sion started with one hundred eighteen enrolled at the end of the first month and a flashy 99.7 per cent attendance mark. “Our Music Department has con- tinued its good work in both piano and choral renditions during the past year. About forty students were presented in two piano re- citals while the different choirs have done excellent work in Church and Chapel performances. The rhythm band was outstanding during the past year with the pri- mary grades showing marked en- thusiasm. Many boys and girls were given an opportunity to ‘lead a band’, “There was some improvement in the school curriculum activities. More remedial teaching was done and a project of tutoring in the eighth grade math class proved to be very valuable. Various field trips during the year were most bene- ficial as this type of teaching has a definite part in any school program. All requirements for full accredita- (Continued on page 2) PAGE TWO THE BARIUM MESSENGER DECEMBER 1959 UNDER THE STEEPLE | By Rev. HuGH B. CARTER, JR. Sunday visitors under the steeple included folk from as near as Troutman and as far as Thailand. The Reverend Boon Yune Nataneti, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Chiengmai, and Reverend and Mrs. Duang Pantupong were recent worshippers here. Mr. Pantupong was the first Moderator of the First Presbytery of Thailand. Groups from the East Burlington, Hepzibah (Bessemer City) and Caldwell Memorial (Charlotte) attended morning services here, along with individuals from Clemson College, Charlotte, Cherryville, Statesville, Gastonia, and Nash- ville, Tennessee. Special service was rendered to the congregation during the past six weeks by Dr. George Staples of Davidson, Reverend Lowry McBath of Gilwood Church, and by Dr. William M. Ramsay of Richmond, Virginia, each of whom occupied the pulpit. Thanks are due also to those who have tended the nursery during the worship hour: Mrs. W. A. Gibson, Mrs. Arthur Sigmon, Mrs. J. W. Crews, Mrs. Max Gilleland, Mrs. Terrell Hall, Mrs. Jack Crews, Roger Neill, 1. B. White, Terrell Hall. Bulletins have been folded each week by the girls of North Cottage, and special worship folders by the girls at Rumple Hall. Jean Murdoch has kept the Church bulletin boards appealing with a variety of designs to tell about current programs. Miss Rebecca Knight of Statesville, and James Richardson of Davidson have been guest speakers at Senior High Fellow- ship meetings. Miss Carol Bell of Statesville and Miss Patricia Buercklin of Barium have been soloists in the Chancel Choir. All of these have given time and talent to make Little Joe's a better Church, Awards were presented to Leonard Utsman, Angus Medlin, T. L. McDonald, and Billy Finley for reciting the Catechism For Younger Children. Amick Johnson memorized the WESTMINSTER SHORTER CATECHISM for which he received a Bible from the Board of Christian Education, and two dollars in cash from the Office of the Synod of North Carolina. The Every Member Canvass was completed by five teams of Church Officers: W. A. Gibson, Glenn Steele, J. H. Lowrance, I. B. White, A. M. Calhoun, Roger Neill, J. W. Crews, Terrell Hall, D. R. Bolton, and Arthur Sigmon. The Women of the Church named the following officers, to be installed at the December meeting: President, Mrs. A. B. McClure; Vice- president, Mrs. H. B. Carter; Secretary, Mrs. D. R. Bolton; Treasurer, Mrs. I. B. White; Historian, Miss Patricia Buercklin. Circle Chairmen are Mrs. Meta Case and Mrs. Frank Nance. Cause Chairmen are Mrs. Louise Johnson, Mrs. Terrell Hall, Miss Kate Taylor, Miss Rebekah Carp- enter, Mrs. E. K. Kyles, Mrs. Max Gilleland, and Mrs. Glenn Steele. Pioneers enjoyed a Halloween Party at the gym with guest Pioneers from Mooresville. For the week of special services conducted by Dr. Ramsay, Pioneers made 36 posters illustrating sermon topics and the theme of the week. Posters were judged by Mrs. Roger Murdoch. Miss Rebekah Carpenter, and Mrs. H. B, Carter at the request of the Pioncer Council. Poster winners include Glenn Houck, Jeanette Grier, Linda Sue Medlin, Sherry Ross, Lou Anna Bridgers, and Eloise Barefoot. Linda Sue and Lou Anna won two prizes each. Group competition in which the Pioneers were divided into four sections with keen rivalry saw the victory go to the “Nazarites” whose leader was Eloise Barefoot. Her group was made up of Linda Bridgers, Karen Crews, Sherry Ross, Charles McBennett, George Edwards, Bobby Grier, Kenneth Lockamy, Billy Finley, Linda Comptom, and Larry Joyner. The Senior High Fellowship sponsored a Thanksgiving Dance at the gym under the direction of the following committees: Elva Medlin, Virginia Kiser, Audrey Waters, Charles McLean, and Braxton Bridgers in charge of refreshments; Publicity, Dickie McKenzie; Music, Donna Edmisten and Lacy Lentz; Decorations, Jeane Murdoch, Edward Barefoot, and Graham Blake; Hospitality, Jackie Taylor, Henry Bridgers, and Gene Taylor. Someone has said, “Religion is not a struggle to develop our own spiritual resources in order to rise to His level: it is a joyful acceptance of divine resources to which we have access because He has descended to our level.” Another has written, “When the fulness of time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the Jaw, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Certainly, it was a good hay crop year because the steady rain kept the grass growing. While the Farm Committee’s re- port will perhaps reveal the work of the farm in detail, let it be said here that the farm had a record year in some production and was down in others. Nearly ten thous- and bushels of small grain was pro- luced, which is a record, and about freen thousand bales of hay and three thousand bales of straw, also, are a new high for the farm. In addition, the three trench silos were filled with silage amounting to C t 2 1 1 i something over four hundred tons of silage for winter feeding. The peach crop was up some this year and the apple crop was reduced almost two thirds by reason of trees not blooming and cold weather getting into the orchard in the early spring. There will be plenty of apples for winter use, but the in- come from sales will not be real- ized this fall. This lack of income will be reflected in the next fiscal year's report. The dairyman, Arthur Hanks, who had been with the Home for six years resigned and a new dairyman, Mr. W. A. Gibson, was employed. A correct program has been planned and is now being pursued. The gardens produced vegetables for the table and for canning and were delivered to the kitchen according to plans made by the dietitian and the farm manager. The hog barns have been built, though not entirely complete yet. The beef herd, from the one cow and two calves of a few years ago, now has reached one hundred— made up of black Angus and White-face Herefords. It is be- lieved that this number is ample to supply the table with beef for the children’s diet. The farm man- ager, Mr. Roger Murdoch, has had only one year in which to orient himself and the second year should prove in which direction the farm will go under his leadership. CAMPUS MAINTENANCE A thirty-five acre campus with more than three dozen buildings re- quires time and money, particularly when the buildings are old and tre- mendous in size. The great struggle with the elements at times seems to out-distance the forces in the fight against erosion and deprecia- tion. Mr. Ervin, the superintendent of this department, reports that the sewer system and septic tank are functioning well; that the water system continues to be a problem; that the heat from the central heat- ing plant has been satisfactory dur- ing the year; and that the electric lines on the campus have been maintained. He believes the build- ings in the maintenance program are about par though there are many repairs yet needing to be done. None fall in the emergency class. Bathrooms have been install- ed in Lottie Walker, painting has been done in various buildings in- side and out, kitchens have been overhauled in campus dwellings and many accomplishments have been made which can be noted by the Regents. Furniture has been put in the various cottages where it was so sorely needed. This pro- gram will continue through the coming year until the interior of Howard and other cottages has been made satisfactory and new furniture has been placed. The Board should carefully con- sider the proposal of the City of Statesville for bringing a water line to Barium Springs and then the laying of a new water line to the domestic buildings on the campus. The plans for the new buildings recommended by the Superinten- dent have been sketched by the architect and will be reported by the Buildings and Grounds Com- mittee for the action of the Board.

It can be said again that no more consecrated Christian service has ever been rendered to Barium boys and girls than that which is being done by Dr. Smith Kirk. His work in ortho- dontia and in general care of the teeth manifests a competence and a consecration unexcelled. The gen- eral health of this campus is good and for that we are profoundly grateful. Annual physical examinations were held. Regular shots were given—polio, typhoid, tetanus, and others that are recommended for the health and well-being of grow- ing boys and girls. FINANCES The Finance Committee and members of the Board have copies of the auditors report for the year. The Treasurer will be requested to make a statement to the Board and be available for questions and an- swers as the Board may wish. Through these, it will be discovered that the Home operated without debt during the year within the budget prescribed by the Board of Regents. The Treasurer's report will show that certain memorial gifts were received through wills. The Board will want to take recognition of these and assign them to the particular items for which they have been made possible. It is the intent of the administration to ex- pend the funds entrusted to _ its care to the best of its ability in meeting the needs of the boys and girls. The best quality and the lowest price is the aim of the Home in its purchasing program. CONCLUSION The operation of the Home at Barium Springs is a tremendous task. The financing of this program takes money. The year’s operation in the total life of the Home leaves two firm convictions in the mind of the Superintendent. The first one is that there is much yet to be done to improve the service to the boys and girls of the Home. The second is that the year just closed would warrant the confidence of the Board and the Church in the efforts of the members of this staff in behalf of these children. Therefore, it is with sincere gratitude to Almighty God and (Continued on page 3) e at dous bram htion Paves ind one done boys cond ould Board bf the lf of cere and DECEMBER 1959 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT (Continued from page 2) with a great sense of dependence upon Him that we, concluding one year, look forward to the new year in which we find ourselves serving the Church and the great Head of the Church by ministering to the boys and girls of this place.
