Popular opinion Notwithstanding,
beauty is more than skin deep. A
flawless skin, glossy hair, and per-
lection of feature are to no avail If
lines of petulance, discomfort and
worry have etched their mark on
your face. All your thoughts and
emotions leave their traces on your
face.
And, unfortunately, we don't see
these marks until they have become
too deeply craven for us to do much
about them. We very rarely look
in the mirror when we are on the
verge of flying off the handle, or If
we do, we are too busy with our
private grievances to pay any at
tention to what we see. But each
ortburst of temper, each needless
hour of worry or discomfort con-
tribute to the general rundown look
of our faces. Serenity is the key
note of beauty and the wise woman
will cultivate a peaceful frame of
mind as assiduously as she goes
about keeping scrupulously clean
and well-groomed.

Junior Forest Patrol
Organized At Carthage

A junior forest fire patrol has
been organized at Carthage under
the sponsorship of the North Caro-
lima Forestry association, with 81
boys of high school age volunteer
ing their services, Floyd Jones, Of
Rockingham, acting district forest
err, announced yesterday.
Members of the N. c. Forest
Field service have been giving
them instruction in actual fire sup
preston work, fire prevention mea-
sures, and the use of fire fighting
equipment.
Arrangements have been made
to allow the boys to drop their
class work should they be called
in cases of emergency or when
the forestry association deems
their services necessary to combat
forest fires in the vicinity of Car
thage, Jones said.
These young men, he said, who
recently assisted in extinguishing
a forest fire near Carthage, are
realizing the value of one of the
states greatest resources and will
through their conservation derive
a benefit in coming years. 3

Noses PLACES
GUIDE STATION
Migratory Potato Workers
Being Guided From
Southern States

The Wilmington Office of tn e
North Carolina State Employment
service yesterday announced the
establishment of an interrogation
station at Powelrs service station
on the highway west of the city
for the purpose of guiding mig
ratory potato workers from Flo
rida, Georgia., and South Carolina.
The station was opened Friday,
is being operated by two m e n
daily from 6 a.. m. to 1 O'Clock mid
night, and is serving as a means
of guiding of migratory workers to
employers in the eastern section
of the state who have work to Of
fer them.
These migratory workers, most
ly colored, are coming by family
groups by truck and automobile
to the Wilmington section FIR m
states throughout the Southeastern
section of the United Saes.
The Wilmington NOSES office
said some know whom they are to
work for during the summer
months, while the others are mere
ly drifting about seeking seasonal
types of employment. Most of
them are directed to NOSES offices
which have received orders from
potato growers in their respective
areas.
Establishment of the intercept
ton station, the local NOSES Office
said yesterday, has resulted al
ready in the directing of more
than $50 migratory workers to pro-
spective employers end employ
ment service offices, and should
serve to relieve somewhat current
problems of migratory workers In
the Wilmington section. 3

BY BOB
Staff Writer

The old Black River chapel at
Ivanhoe was the centre of wide
spread interest on Sunday, June 2.
The occasion was the celebration
of the 200th anniversary of the es-
tablishment of the church in 174O
by the Scottish immigrants to that
section.
Their descendants, others c o n
nected with the church, and visi-
tors from far and near formed a
large assembly for this reunion
and home-gathering of unusual in
terest.
Miss Frances Robinson served
as the general chairman for the
celebration. In the morning, the
Rev. R. Murphy Williams, pastor
of the Church of the Covenant,
Greensboro, preached a sermon
from the text, THE church of the
living God, the pillar and ground
of the turth."
The Rev. Mr.. Murphy spoke of
the origin, strength, and glory OF
the church, and the necessity for
it in an enlightened and progress
i've life, it's sacred and hopeful in
fluences being sorely needed in our
own distressful days.
Kessler Presides
The Rev. L. w. Kessler, pastor
of the church, presided. A special
musical program, including a vo-
cal solo by Miss Betty Kerr, fea-
tured the services.
At the conclusion of the worship
service, a large and handsome tab
let in memory of Patrick and Eliz-
zbeth Kelso Murphy, which h a d
been given by Charles j. Williams,
of Jacksonville, Fla, who is one
of their descendants, was accepted
in impressive services.
The tablet has been placed on
the wall of the vestibule of the
church and furnishes much inter-
esting information about the
church: it's buildings of 1740, ITO,
1918, and the present structure e.
rected in 1859, a list of the elders
serving in 1888 and the names of
many of the pastors. Charles j..
Williams is a native of D uplin
county and a brother of the Rev.
R. Murphy Williams.
Residents of the community had
provided lavishly for their guests
and during the lunch hour friend
ships of former days were renew
ed and memories recalled. True to
well known Scottish traits, d e S.
pendants of the early Scotch i'm
migrants reviewed their family re-
lationships through many genera
tons.
A historical address by the Rev.
Andrew J. Howell, stated clerk of
the Wilmington Presbytery and
former Wilmington pastor, was the
feature of the afternoon session.
The Rev. MIR. Kessler also presid-
ed at this session and presented
two former pastors of the church,
the Rev. Kenneth McCaskill, f
Canada, who had driven more than
a thousand miles with his wife to
attend the celebration, and the Rev
W. c. Smith, of Stanfield, N. c..
who spoke briefly.

forceful measures of the English
establishment 49, 900 of them suf-
fering martyrdom.
Many Emigrated
AS the result of this persecution,
the Rev. Mr.. Howell said, many of
the people emigrated to northern
Ireland, many of these later to
sail the Atlantic as "Scotch-Irish"
in the quest of new, free homes in
America.
Some of these were, in the
course of time, to emigrate to the
Southeastern section of North Car
dina through the Cape Fear river
and to find homes in what is now
Duplin county. Many of the Scotch
also came directly to the Cape
Fear river country and settled at
Black River, South River, Cross
Creek, now Fayetteville, and other
localities.
Governor Gabriel Johnston, who
was a Scotchman, a physician by
profession and former professor at
the University of st. Andrews, en-
couraged his fellow countrymen to
come to his jurisdiction. These set
tiers we're COURAGEOUS men, who
wanted liberty to worship God &C
cording to their own conscience.
Hence, the speaker said, it was
with much gratitude that they built
their first log church near t h e
banks of the Black River. Some
Of the early history of the church
was reviewed by the Rev. MI.
Howell, who urged those present
to renew the strength of their re
ligious faith for the sake of their
own country, the United States.
The day was a memorable one,
and its influence will undoubtedly
extend far and wide as the people
carried back with them the i'm
pressions received during the cele-
bration. Il

nod of North Carolina, was also
introduced to the gathering and
spoke briefly. The Rev. Mr.. How
ell conveyed a message of good
wishes from the Rt. Rev. Thomas
C. Darst, bishop of the East Caro-
lima diocese for the Episcopal
church. Special musical numbers at
the afternoon session included: a
violin solo, by Mrs. Eric Norden,
Of Wilmington, and a vocal solo,
by Miss Margaret Cromartie. OF
Garland.
In his address, the Rev. Mr..
Howell noted the presence of the
large number of those present re-
presenting the families of the
Scotch settlers: the Robinsons,
Corbetts, Colvins, DeVanes.
poanes, Murphys, McAllisters, Nc
Curdys, McDuffies, McMillans,
Henrys, Hendrys, Sellers, Fular-
tons, Beattys, Kerrs, Alexanders,
Kelsos, Curries, and many others.
He remarked that the clans had
gathered on the blanks and bracs"
Of Black River to revive the mem
cries of the past and renew their
expression of love for their old
church. The theme of his address
was the Historical Background of
the Scottish Settlement on Black
River"
The Rev. Mr.. Howell referred
first to the sterling characteristics
of the typical Scotchman of church
history, his courage of conviction,
his adherence to principle and du-
ty, his love of his kirk and religion,
and heroism bred in him by many
clashes of border warfare and 9TH
er conflicts with the English on the
South.
Reference was also made to the
f~orceful influence of John Knox on
the Scottish national life and the
signing of the various "Coven-
ants" particularly h e Solemn
League and Covenant" to which
many of the people affixes their
names at a memorable gathering
at old Greyfriars church, Edinburg
and which was also signed
throughout the length and breadth
Of the land.
