MT. OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH
Rev. G. B. Wheeler. Pastor
Maceo Simmons. RepOrter

Now that the new year has be-
gun, it is interesting to note how
the various department heads are
rushing to get their work started
for the year. At the pastors con-
ference, held on last Sunday, all de-
partments were represented and
seemed to be of one accord.
Their aim is to help put the pas
tors program over. The member
ship of Mt. Olivet have learned too
we'll that the only way to have a
successful church is to throw your
whole soul and spirit into the work
and do it the best you can.
Sunday morning the pastor will
speak from the subject, "New
Year." At 8 p. m. the regular Cow
enant and Communion services will
be held. The church is starting
three month financial drive to help
liquidate some of the urgent indebt-
edness which come due early this
year. Every member of the church
is urged to line up with one Of the
IL units and be ready to start when
the word is given next Sunday.
If you have no church to attend
on next Sunday, visit Mt. Olivet.
Cultivate the habit of going to
church on Sunday and it will do
thee good. The Rev. J. C. Bothic,
who pastored the Mt. Olivet Baptist
church for more than four years,
died in Ancker Hospital Tuesday.

Protect Baby's Eyes

The eyes of a baby should be pro-
tected from strong sunlight, and
never should an infant be allowed
to lie on its back in crib or car
riage so that it can stare directly
at the sun, warns the Better Vision
institute. II a covering Is not pro-
vided to shade the eyes. serious
damage to them may result. The
lens Of the eye. when directed
squarely at the sun, will collect rays
that may burn the retina, in the
same manner that a burning glass
will scorch paper by concentrating
sun rays upon it. Cases Of children
with permanently damaged areas in
the retina from looking directly at
the sun are not rare.

v. R.-My house is old and I am
not quite through paying for it and
l wish to know if it would be ad-
visable for me to repair the place
or to make arrangements to sell :?
Ans: Make the necessary re-
pairs to keep the house in good
condition. If you allow the proper
ty to run down, then you can't ex-
pect to get anything of value from
it take the money you have
saved and get your house in good
shape again.
M. L. It's it best for me to
start in business here or go back
home and get the other place? l
am constant follower of your
column and 1 enjoy your work so
much.
Ans: A young girl nineteen
years of age could not make an
overwhelming success in the cafe
terra business with no experience
no, don't invest the money that
you are to get Immediately. Bank
it and add to it each month. When
you get older you will see your way
clear to go into a profitable bust
ness of your own.
L. CT am. about to become q
mother. The boy promised to mar
nv me but he suddenly changed his
mind and | wish to know what I
should do?
Ans: Have a member of your
family talk with this boy and see if
they can't persuade him to give
the child a name. If he refuses,
then you will have to handle the

no advancement. I wish to be mar
ried soon and please give me your
opinion?
Ans: Your case is unfortunate,
but it is only temporary. You
must save your money and arrange

and find work. The small place
where you are now doesn't offer
he advantages that you seek.
When you go into the city, try the
newspaper offices. insurance COM

you get placed. If you. could safe

do so, and if not, let your wife
know exactly what you must face
in order to get ahead.

Reno Outlines Program
For Another Boom Era

After having its ups and downs
since the big Boom" of 1881, Reno
seems to be heading for palmy days
which many residents believe will
rival the period when gambling was
legal.
The city. known principally as
divorce center. is on the verge Of
another Jackpot" from two sources,
one Of which is purely accidental
and the other planned.
l. The California legislature has
enacted law requiring prospective
brides and bridegrooms to undergo
physical examinations before obtain
ing marriage license. Reno's mar
riage business already is a substan-
tial addition to the city's commerce
and it was believed the honeymoon
ers from California would triple
when the law goes into effect about
September 20.

The Wurln Almanac states that

| ish daughter and she has little to
do with boys and girls and will
her and will she ever become I'M
selfish and be friendly with peo-
Pile?
Ans: Concentration reveals to
me that your daughter is not selfish
but BASHFUL AND SHY. This
handicap may look like selfishness
but it isn't. Praise her and try to
push her ahead, for once she gets
used to going out with the young
people she will be all right. Invite
the girls and boys in your home
and you will be able to correct her
trouble.
A. B. E.-Husband and have in
mind purchasing a place between
one and five miles north of where
you please tell me what to do about
we are living and wish to know if
it would be a good idea as we'll as
a fair deal?
Ans: The tract of land you have
reference to would be good in
vestment but don't Obligate
yourself until you get the money
to make the purchase. Remain on
the farm where you are now until
such a time comes around }. your
present landlord will do everything
he can to make things comfortable
for you and when you are financial
ly able to expand do so.
H. il take the paper just for

left my husband. Met up with a
man 1 loved and he had to leave.
Well, he didn't return and l started
with his cousin. Now, after nine
years, he is back and is breaking
our hearts because we can't be to-
gether, as he married a woman he
hates while away. Now must we
leave these two we are with and
go back together or just kill our
selves?
Ans: | actually believe you are
sincere. Yours is a mixed up af-
fair and there is no need to tell you
to forget one another. If you both
feel that you can't go on as you
are doing now, then leave your
present mates and live separately
for six months or more. Then if
you still feel that you can't de-
without one another, you would
have had time to get your divorces
and try your luck together.
G. C.-Will I ever learn to play
this instrument that l have as !
am very much interested in music?
Ans: You already have a good
start toward this end but it is
going to take several hours practice
a day before you can notice very
much gain. You aren't taking your
lessons regularly enough.

These are Boris Karloff, Peter
