CHURCHES AND SCHOOL


On November 10th, the Clayton
Century Club had most impress
sive program in celebration of
Armistice Day. Opening with the
usual appropriate songs and the
pledge to the flag, the Rev. Robert
VanCleaf offered prayer. This
was followed by a reading of the
well known FLANDERS Field" by
Mrs. j. T. Johnson. Supt. George
r. Miller of the Smyrna Schools,
then addressed the club, bringing
out the ideals of democracy and
their relationship in war or peace,
a most enlightening and very inter
esting talk. The Rev. Leon Ross
offered the closing prayer and Miss
FAIRIES, a student Of the Smyrna
School played tn etaps. One had
the feeling that one had attended
a sacred service rather than a club
program. Mrs. William Wroten
had charge of the days program.
On November II, Mrs. Mulford
Taylor, of Wilmington, will be
guest of the Clayton Club and
speaker of the day. Mrs. Taylor
is president of the State Federation
of Women's Clubs Though she
has given us no subject we may
look forward to a most interesting
address, since Mrs. Taylor is a wo-
man of rich background and varied
experiences. Tea will be served
and it is hoped that there will be
a good attendance.
