school safely through the autumn

Largely as result OF the work
of her sixth and seventh grace
bovs and girls, ranging in age
from 10 to 10 years, the Maple
Hill lunch program provides pu-
pills daily with carefully planned,
well balanced, and nutritious, not
meals. But that is only part OF
the story.
"Before DOL closed last
spring.'' Mrs. Harvin says, every
narent in our Parent-Teacher AS

vegetables per child, to be canned
in the summer for our school lunch
room. The children were to plant

And then happened what Mrs.

On visit to Raleigh, she

of vegetables and the As chickens

A few lars of food remained from

And so, despite the hitherto dark

room was reopened September 8.
A supervisor was found after long

That's where the boys and girls

Messiah Presented Sunday

Set in an atmosphere of beauty in the auditorium of the newly renovated Federated Church, the adult choir of that institution, consisting of g voices, successful ly staged the famed Handeps Messiah" last evening.
 A capacity crowd gathered to hear the rendition of this famous cantata, extra seats having to be arranged for to take care of the overflow of people eager to hear the strains of the beautiful ora torio.
 Director Robert N. Henderson is to be congratulated on the suc- cess of his direction. The excel lent harmony gathered by his group of choir members, shows the result of much effort on the part of the entire organization.
 Four choruses from the famed cantata were presented: And the Glory of the Lord, 70 Thou That Tellest Good Tidings to Zion, Glory to God' and the famed "Hallelujah Chorus" comprised the rendition, with the age old custom of the congregation standing at-the singing of the latter chorus.
 In all, the service from the or gan prelude to the benediction, proved highly enjoyable. It is hoped another such cantata will be enjoyed during the Easter sea- son.
 Following are the members of the chorus:
 Staff Sergeant Robert N Am derson, director.
 Robert F. Baldwin, organist
 Sopranos: Mrs. F. Bingham.
