She's always courteous to rich

And not in your face she closes

But opens il wide>to let you in,
If you are growing old and thin.
She's just as thrifty as can be,
And always nice, neat, and clean,
And at her work she gaily sings,
She does not quarrel about a

No matter the sadness that comes
into her heart,
From her gladness does not part

There is a Letter in the Post
Office for you if you have
not bought your Tubercu-.
losis Christmas Seals. !

Notice is received from the
headquarters of the North Caro-
lima Tuberculosis Association
that $1,000 letters containing
100 Christmas Seals each will be
mailed to as many homes in
North Carolina today. Accom-
panying the Seals is a letter re-
questing the recipient toJpur-
chase the number of Seals sent
at one cent each in order that
the fight against tuberculosis
may be waged again next year.
These letters are sent oAy to
towns and communities in which
the association has no local
chairman, and the receipts re-
ceived from this source constitute
the main support of the State
Association, as in towns where
a chairman has charge of the
work 70 per cent ofithe receipts
are retained in that community
for local tuberculosis work.
With the funds received from
the mail sale letters the Associa-
ton expects to enlarge the clinic
work, which, in the opinion of
the Board of Directors. is one Of.
the most important phases Of the
tuberculosis campaign. This
service meansthat the casesof to-
berculosis will be found early,
whilelthey are in a durable stage,
and will mean the saving of many
lives and the prevention Of
additional sources Of infection.
Anyone not receiving d supply
Of Seals through the regular
channels and wishing to aid IN
the work may order Seals direct
from the North Carolina Tuber-
culosis Association, Sanatorium.

Pine Cone Troop goes on
Hike to Weldon

On last Wednesday at moor
the Girl Scouts of the Pine Cone
troop seized the opportunity to g
on a hike. Under the leadership
of Lieutenant Byrd and Leader
Josephine Hege. We left school
at 11:40 A. M. We reached the
station about the time the train
came in. We bade our teachers,
who were going off, goodby with
tears in our eyes ~, for we do
not like holidays (Queer is it
not?). While we were there we
ate our lunch, which we had
carried with US. Then we start
ed on our joyful journey.
We stopped at a little house on
the side of the road to get water.
Here we saw two very attractive
children who gave US some water,
out of q coconut shell; We cer-
tainly enjoyed it.
We reached Weldon about 1:30
A. M. The girl scouts stayed on
the sidewalk while Miss Blakely,
a guest, and Miss Byrd bought
provisions for our supper, with
the money each girl gave.
We took our food and started
out to find a place to camp,
After much such searching we
found an attractive place, oh the
bank of the river, at the back Of,
the hatchery. Each girl was
given instructions concerning
fire making. Then a part of the
semophore code was taught to us
by Lieutenant Byrd.
Last but not least our supper.
You can talk about good things
to eat, but we had the best that
has ever been spread on a camp
ing ground. We roasted wenies
and marshmallows, until we did
not want any more.
About 6:2O we started for
home. The girls were tired but
happy
We all are ready for another
hike any time.
