Baptist Church News Notes

In its onward march of pro-
gress the church has much to be
gratihed over as q result of
November's work.
Two very interesting events
were the Thanksgiving Service
and the Baraca- -Fidelis Banquet.
At the former service the Ladies
Aid Society presented to the
church a piano. At the latter
nearly three hundred people
spent a very delightful evening
together enjoying first class
music furnished by the Rosemary
Concert Band, short speeches,
refreshments, etc.
The Baraca and Fidelis classes
are composed of about $50 strong
wide awake young men and
women who are determined to do
things. These are well otficered
and the teachers, Messrs. House
and James, with the officers will
lead these classes to do big
things. The Fidelis class has re-
Gently introduced the group plan
Of organization and the individ-
ual envelope system for keeping
an accurate record of each men,
ber. They are also planning to
have a large curtain run across
the front of their room.
The other classes of the school
are not asleep by any means
and Improvements are being
made all the time to make the
school more efficient.
We now have a Cradle Roll
with rs enrolled, and Home
Department with 125 enrolled,
! this brings the total enrolment
of the school to nearly 500 in
Guiding all departments and the
end is not yet. The school will
begin shortly to plan for q
Christmas entertainment.
The Ladies Aid Society having
bought the piano, will now un.
dertake to put new windows in
the church, paint the church
and beautify the yards. They
will hold a Bazaar this week,
Friday and Saturday in the
Homer Building. Come and helI
in this good work.

SLEEPING OUT" FASHIONABLE
Modern Homes Must Have Sleep.
ing Porches to Be Efficient

A bulletin from the State
Board of Health says: Sleeping
out used to be a fad, and was
practiced more for the novelty
of the idea than for the good
that it was supposed to bring
about, but to. day the fad stage
has passed and the sleeping out
habit, and the sleeping porch
have come to stay and take their
places, In the home equipment.
The custom of sleeping regularly
in the open air and the idea that
every healthful. efficient home
must have a sleeping porch are
winning new devotees every day.
AS a matter of fact all the mod
ern homes are now being built
with these necessary fresh air
apartments and many of the old
homes are rapidly providing SINH
lar arrangements.
The bulletin mentions several
advantages to be derived from
this fresh air crusade, among
which are: a greater immunity to
colds and other communicable
diseases, an increased bodily
vigor. need Of less artificial heat
for comfort, and as a preventive
of tuberculosis and bronchial
troubles. 1T stands to rea-
son." says the bulletin, that if
fresh air is the most vital factor
in the cure Of consumption, that
it is of the greatest value in
warding oil consumption. 5"
The bulletin further advises
that this is the ideal season of
the year to form the habit of
sleeping out. f" To begin it lat
er on in the winter might be
hazardous, but to begin now, in
the fall, and gradually tone up
to the very cold weather will be
easy and will be the means of
getting the benefits of out door
sleeping all winter. Of course
proper sleeping garments are
necessary. Large, soft, porous
pajamas with plenty of double
blankets under as well as over
for cover should be provided.

What Red Cross Seals Do

Every Red Cross Christmas
Seal that is sold is real bullet
in the fight against tuberculosis.
These seals last year helped to
support thousands'of needy tub
erculosis patients and to give
them a chance for life. They
provided for many visiting
nurses, whose hundreds Of
thousands of visits brought in
struction and cheer to numerous
patients. They helped maintain
dispensaries in scores Of cities
from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
where thousands of consumptive
patients received free treatment,
aid and advice. They provided
the means to purchase millions
of copies of circulars, pamphlets
and other literature with which
the public has been educated
about tuberculosis. They have
established and helped to main
tain more than 500 open air
schools for children who need
open air treatment. These are
Just a few of the ways in which
the $780, 600 received last year
was expended. This year a mil
lion dollars IS needed. Surely
any one can help by buying at
least ten seals

sree he has endeared himself to
The people here, regardless Of de.
lominational lines.
That this Is true, Is shown by
the immense crowd that gather
ed at the Methodist Church in
Roanoke Rapids on last Sunday
hight, when Mr.. Towe preached
lis final sermon. Every minis

RED CROSS SEALS
TO BE SOLD HERE
Woman's Auxiliary Board Of the
Roanoke Rapids Hospital Will
Have Charge Of the Sale Cam.
paign. Seventy Per Cent
Of Receipts Will be Used
Here in Combating
tuberculosis

Have you bought any Red
Cross Seals?" will be a frequent
question from now until Christ
mas. The Woman's Auxiliary
Board of the Roanoke Rapids
Hospital have taken up the work
of selling these seals in this
community and expect to push
the sales as much as possible.
The Red Cross Seals are bright
red stickers, used on Christmas
gift packages and letters through
out the month of December.
They are sold for one penny a
piece and seventy percent of the
money taken in for these seals
is used right in the community
where the seals are sold in COM
batting tuberculosis, aiding i'm
poverished sufferers from this
dread disease and striving to
prevent its spread. No person
or firm selling the seals will make
one cent of profit from the sale.
The thirty per cent reserved is
for the necessary expenses of
the National Red Cross Associa-
ton in issuing these seals and
placing them on sale.
Every seal you buy is one bull
let in the fight against tubercu-
losis - the great white plague
which is directly responsible for
one death out Of every seven.
Don't buy foolish unmeanine
seals this Christmas for your
I
package; used the Red Cross
Seals and by so doing aid in the
most deserving charity that j,
being conducted in this country
The seals can be secured at the
postoffices in Rosemary and Roa
noke Rapids, at the office of tn,
Herald Publishing Company, il
Roanoke Rapids, from Mrs. J. L
Patterson, President of thu
Hospital Board, Mrs. T. w. NJ
Long, Mrs. W. l.. Long, il
Roanoke Rapids, Mrs. Z. W
Lehman and Mrs. r. P. Beck
with, in Rosemary, and at the
Office of the Rosemary Manu-
featuring Company in Rosemary
They will probably be placed OF
sale at other places as the Holi
day Season draws nearer
Wherever you see the big rec
cross signs in the windows, yol
may know the seals are on sale
inside.
If ten thousand of these seals
can be sold in this community
this season, it will mean seventy
dollars to be spent here in the
relief of tuberculosis patients,
and this will mean far more thar
you may imagine. One Of The
doctors of this community made
the statement the other day thai
he had a patient suffering witt
tuberculosis who did not have
even q blanket to keep out tn,
cold. The money is vitally need
ed = the question for you to de
eide is whether you will help by
buying the seals.
