Remodeled Church

Rev. Hubert S, Lyle, the pastor
preached in the New Providence
Presbyterian church of this place

New Scholarship
Fund Created

A very pleasant surprise happen.
ed last week on College Hill. The
four Cunningham brothers put into
the college treasury One Thousand
Dollars to form what is to be called
the Major Ben and Jane A. Cunning.
ham Fund. The income of the
fund is to be used in paying the
necessary expenses of worthy and
needy students from East Tennessee,
preference being given TO tho e from
Blount County.
Preference is also to he given to
those who declare an intention of
pursuing an entire course, rather
than to those who are content with
shortened course.
The establishing of this scholar.
ship fund to the memory of their
parents is beautiful tribute indeed
on the part of the Cunningham
brothers to their parents, and a
most appropriate way of perpetual
ing their memory on College Hill.
Major Ben was greatly pleased as
time to time such scholarships
were formed, and especially when
one was established by some resident
of Blount County, as was the case
in the Robert A. Tedford Scholar
ship. The Major h mself aided
many students IN the securing of an
education, and now this fund estab-
lished by his sons, all of whom
were students in the College, and
three of whom graduated from it,
will continue in his name and in
that of his lifelong companion, the |
service that be rendered during his !
life. The four brothers decided |
upon this form of memorial en-.
tirely upon their own suggestion, !
and certainly they made very
happy choice. The College is crate
'ul to them, and so will be through
out the future the beneficiaries of
,he fund.

ing public. And then, in time, the
electric fan was installed in stores,
libraries and even in Pullman cars.
Not until recently, however, were the
fans thought suitable for working peo-
pie and for the home. Factory owners
soon found out that the daily product
increased with cooler weather and in
stalled electric fans to keep the work
ers cool and comfortable so they could
do their best work wen in dog days.
Not until the last few years were the
electric fans taken into the home in
any large numbers. True enough. the
wealthy and well-to-do have had cleo
years but they We're classed with lux
uries and not with necessities. Even
to this very day it is common enough
TO find the electric fan installed in the
living room or parlor, which is gen
orally where it is least needed. and
never taken out to the hot kitchen by
day or into the sweltering bedroom
o'nights. The electric fan can be at
tached TO any electric light socket and
it certainly should be used in the
kitchen and anywhere else a cooling
breeze is desired. 1t can be installed
in the kitchen facing an open window
and set running SO it will force the
heated air out of the room. along with
the steam and fumes of cooking, and
thus keep the room suitable for work
ing purposes. 1t is equally efficient in
the dining room during meal hours.
A resident of an eastern city took
his electric fan to bed with him. That
is, he didn't exactly tuck the fan in
bed but he placed it on the window
sill in such a manner that when it was
connected to the lighting circuit and
started running at medium speed ii
forced a generous supply of cool air
into the room. In this way he kept
cool and comfortable every night dur,
ing one of the hottest summers. The
fan was fastened to the window sill
with a small thumbscrew. 1t was plac-
ed so it did not blow directly on the
bed but sent it's breeze against the wall
at a sharp angle so the air was scatter.
ed to all parts of the room. The fan
ran all night at the second speed at a
total cost of less than two cents per
night.
Even with the window open there is
little ventilation to a bedroom when
the air is humid, hot and motionless.
The ventilating qualities of a small
electric fan have never been fully APP
preciated by the public. In almost
every home proper ventilators are en-
tirely absent. The only means of ven
tilating a room is to open doors and
windows. In the summer months this
ventilation depends entirely upon the
wind. If the wind does blow those
rooms located on the lee side of the
house receive no benefit from 1t. The
natural result is hat unventilated
rooms are very hot and stuffy during
damp and sultry weather. This can
be remedied at will by placing a small
eight-inch electric fan close to the
open window and starting it running at
slow speed, or faster if desired. When

installing a fan in the bedroom be sure
the curtains are fastened back so they
will not be drawn into the revolving
blades of the fan and damaged. A
quiet running fan should be selected so
as to AVOID useless noise. Arrange the
fan so it does not produce a chilling
or by reducing the speed. A long cord
is generally necessary for connecting
the fan TO the light socket and locating
ii where desired.
