Fashion Notes

Printed silks have a never-failing

appeal.a

Handbags are large and of soft

dressmaker type.

Even gloves are in the mood for ft|lacy effect these days. I

For spectator and sports wear, all-,white costume# are smart.

Evening (pwns for under-30s

must have "cotton appeal." iPumpkin seeds and gilded snail

shells axe used for beach jewelry..

Scalloped edges, trim everything

from hats to boleros and skirt hem-

lines.Many of the summer's spectator

sports frocks tell their fashion news

in floral print.French designers are using rib-

bons in dozens of novel -ways for

hat trimming.

Among favorite ensembles, we find

much navy with touches of white

or a dash of red.

Short ankle-length slacks and very

short shirt are in a pure white,

silky, thin shantung linen. The yoke

jpockets and dark scarf are details,

also, high-soled clogs.

PUBUCOPINIONOLD-FASHIONED DINNER BELL

To the Editor: Tonight in my

neighborhood there fell upon my

ears one of the Bweetest notes ear

ever heard; its jingle emanatedfrom one of the best and most fl?°P*

ular homos in our little town. Its

sweet notes carried me back through

the years to a big farm home in thecountry surrounded by plenty and

a hospitality fast vanishing. It wasthe old-fashioned dinner bell.

Who knows where there is anoth-

er oneT It has "gone with the wind"

like old-fashioned cuff links, hosesupporters, high standing feollarsand two-piece long suit underwear,

cumbersome paraphernalia, which

used to torture the male of the spe-cies.

But there is hope in a cold world

yet if the old-fashioned dinner bell

remains. Long may its melodiousnotes, filled with charity and hospi-

tality, proclaim to a cold modernworld that the sweet things of life

never die!JOHN B. PALMER

The 1937-38 world carry-over of

United States cotton, including lin-tere, has been placed at the high rec-ord of 13,803,000 bales. The carry-over last year was 6,108,000 bales.

Ground limestone is beginning to

move into western North Carolinacounties as farmers plan to earntheir g oil building goals through theuse of this material.

Male drivers were involved in 92per cent of the grade crossing ac-cidents to motor vehicles in 1937.

Nearly one-half of the grade cross-ing accidents that took place in 1937

in June than in any other month.

sent our way. WheH letters comefrom hither and yonl saying,

Massacres Pig AndSteals Hams I

? One of the most brutal thefts thathaa occurred in this section in years |is reported by William Edwardswho lives about two miles from town.

On Friday morning when Mt. Ed-' wards went to his pig pasture about.j200 yards from his home to feed the j

I pigs, he found what was left of oneof his fine young red Durocs aftera tliiejf had sliced off both hams,

I leaving the remainder of the bodyas a gruesome souvenir of his deed.Mr. Edwards says the pig weighed

between 40 and 60 pounds and wasone of 25 or 30 in the pasture, somelarger and some smaller.

Mr. Edwards says he heard no

disturbance during the night and

would probably have never knownof the theft had not the half-carcassbeen left. He believes Mb hams wereenjoyed as piece-de-resistance at some

Work of the Oral Hygiene Divi-

sion of the North Carolina StateBoard of Health will be on display

at the annual meeting of the South-ern California State Dental Asso-ciation, at Coronado, September 12-16, it was announced by Dr. ErnestA. Branch.

The request for educational mater-ial, to make up a display, came as

the result of a suggstion by Dr.Guy Milberry, Dean of the College

of Denistry of the University ofCalifornia, who had seen some ofthe work of Miss Carolyn Mercer,educational consultant, who preparesmaterial used by the school den-tists of this State in their follow-upprograms.

From North Carolina she will sendat least fifty pieces of material to beplaced on display, Dr. Branch said,adding: "I consider this a compli-

ment to our efforts, and we willtake great pleasure in availing our-selves of this opportunity to place

North Carolina's oral hygiene (pro-

gram before the dentists of South-ern California."

FARMERS AND GINNERS GETREADY FOR FALL HARVEST

i 950 active gins in the State; this? year, if the reduction trend of the? past ten years continues, the num-, ber will .be smaller.

Ferguson pointed out that ginnersdread the first few bales of cotton

? to go through their outfits, because? growers usually haul in green pick-l ings. This results in excessive wear

i on the gins, as well as rough pre-, paration of the cotton.

I Several ginners have indicated theymay not open their outfits this year

t until green cotton has had a chance\u25a0 to dry out.i Approximately ten driers haveI been added in North Carolina this-1 summer, bringing the total of these

I jdevices to 20. The driers have notc, been added to encourage growers to,'haul in wet cotton, but to accomo-I »

3 date those farmers whose cotton- 1 could not be handled in any other

t way.

All over North Carolina, farmersare getting ready to harvest theircotton crop, described as below nor-mal this year by J. C. Frguson,

extension cotton gin specialist atState College.

In Western a-nd certain Piedmontcountieß, the crop is 80 to 85 percent of normal, in the more centralregions about 70 per cent, and in thecoastal counties the crop is fair,although boo] weevils have wreakedconsiderable damage.

Ginning of the 1938 crop will startabout September 15. At least a half-dozen completely J new gin outfitshave been placed in the State thissummer, Ferguson said. Also, sev-eral of the older gins have added

Because of the better clasa work| which the modern gins turn out,many of the older, more obsolete

I ness. Last year, there were about

Is God merely a wish, a dream, ..

hope, an illusion f If so, then mostof the world's greatest minds havebeen fooled and most of the world'sgreatest characters have be«nbuilt Uipun a falsehood. One observ-ing what religion has done for man-kind could almost say, "Though itbe false I will cling to it." To be-lieve in God if there is no God ifto be credulous; but to miss Him

if he really is, is to be stupid.There are three ways of obtaining

knowldge of Truth: by examiningthe records of the past, by learn-ing of the experience of others, andby experiencing for ourselves. Iathe final analysis we only know onrown experience.
