]. E. Wilson Speaks Before
Rotary on Subject of Re-
frigeratiOn and Lockers
PREDICTS WIDER USE

The story of modern refrigera-
ton was presented to the Rotary
Club last Thursday night, by j..
Edwin Wilson. MI. Wilson, who is
engaged in the manufacture of
milk cooling cabinets and cold
storage boxes of various kinds, ex-
planned that refrigeration has three
main divisions: 1.household; 2scom-
mercial, and 8, air conditioning.
The Wilson Cabinet Company is
primarily interested in the first
two divisions, the speaker stated.
Describing the change in refrig-
Grafton in the past few years, Mr..
Wilson explained that it is still in
the infancy of development. Mr..
Wilson predicted that locker stor-
age plants. already in use in some
states, will soon be in great de-
mand of farmers for storing meats
and vegetables. The increased use
of frozen foods according to the
speaker, should increase the use Of
cold locker storage plants. G. Le-
land Harmonson responded to the
talk, and the club gave a rising
vote of thanks to Mr.. Wilson for
his educational address. Visiting
Rotarians were: Pop" Hansen,
Russell Wilson, William Richter

yer Club, and James Posey, of the

IMPROVEMENTS MADE

The rededication of ST Paurs
Methodist Church, Clayton, took
place on Sunday, September %.
Special music was furnished by
Mrs. William Wroten and the two
choirs of the church. The program
was as follows: Rev. w. H. Baker,
pastor of Ewell's Methodist Church
led responsive reading; Rev. Leon
w. Ross, pastor of Grace Method
ist Church, Salisbury, Md, led in
prayer. A talk was given by DR..

tendent. At the conclusion of Dr.
Hearn's message, the Board of
Trustees presented the Church for
re-dedication to DR.. Hearn, the
congregation participating in the
service. Rev. c. S. Marshall, re-
tired Methodist minister, pro
nounced the benediction. The total
cost of the improvement was So
O69.83, all of which has been paid.
Had it been announced in the be-
ginning that it would be necessary
to raise over $1,000, no doubt, the
cry would have been, 1T is impos-
sible", but those deeply interested,
with zeal to match their faith,
went to work. After S23S2 had
been spent for remodeling, reno
waiting, and painting, it was decid-
ed new pews were necessary to
complete the transformation, and
these were purchased at a cost OF

pastor of st. Paul's Methodist
Church. These improvements were
made during the last year of the
pastorate of Rev. Leon w. Ross,
but the delay in shipment of pews
caused postponement of re-dedica-
ton. In the evening, at 7.3O, a
pageant of dedication was present
ed by the Junior and Senior choirs
with Mrs. Fannie Sevil and Mrs. J.
