TWIFORD'S STORE

store and the postoffice will have
a new appearance to last years
summer visitors at the beach
who return this season.
Eldon Twiford, who recently
discontinued the service station
business, has had the pumps re-
moved and will have the island
on which they sat and the cano-
Ply over the driveway removed.
In place of the driveway, he is
having cinder block and con-
crete porch built the length of
the building. Level with the stills
of the three doors, the porch will
be reached by three steps, which
extend the full length of the
porch. An overhead covering
will be added, with a rail around
the edge of it.
The building has been occu-
pied by the Twiford store 10
years and this is the first major
change in the front, although
additions have been made. Last
year the interior was rearrang-
led, with the postoffice brought
to the front on the right, going
in, in order to provide more
space for the self service groce-
ry. Mrs. Twiford is postmaster.

HELD AT EAST LAKE

Rev. Ed Hooper of Salvo led a
group of four preachers who took
part Easter morning at Sunrise
in a big religious service held
on the shore of Alligator River

dering testimony were three
other preachers: Rev. Leo and
Rev. Lundy Twiford, brothers of
East Lake, and Rev. Bobby Beas-
ley of MAINS Harbor.

Kirby, home agent, used the DEM
onstration period to discuss the
new fabrics and their care. She
advised the women to read the la
bells on these fabrics carefully in
order to get the best satisfaction
from their use. Miss Kirby showed
samples of these materials.
She also called attention to a
district federation meeting, held
Wednesday of this week in Eden
ton. Those from the Kitty Hawk

The Negro physician must live,
put omuSt the poor Negroes who
need physician. There is an al
most universal complaint that
getting a physician at night is
becoming wcll-night one of the
impoSSibleS.
This writer has heard of stu
atoms where the call for Negro
physicians failed to bring medical
aid, the ill had to resort finally
to calling some young White ply
Sician who is anxious to "get on
his feet" Too often once he is on
his feet he goes in for fashionable
practice, where Negro patients are
not wanted.
Negro patients should not be
forced to call White physicians
when they prefer a Negro. AL
ready too few do!
Just as the official of the
American Medical Association was
applying the principle Of excul-
patton by expurgation, our Negro
medical profession owes it first
to the profession and then to the
struggling Negroes to ferret out
and expose these fee-splitting
over-charging and needle-knife
racketeers. They are millstones
about the neck of a noble pro-
fession!

more than 10 percent of the voters
in the ward are Negroes. The

they do very well. The sandboX

Everything alive is haunted by
an urge to Self-expression, ex-
cept maybe earth worms or gold
fish, and who am I to say that
they aren't? Certainly every hui
man being feels this necessity
even though it may be buried
deeply under layers of fatigue,
self-consciousness, inertia, dis
couragement, poverty, fear, ir-
ritability, routine, or the pres
sure of daily living.
Of course, we express our
selves individually every day we
live, but this expression I am
talking about today is the one
in which you, alone, as an iso-
lated individual, give vent to
your fairs, your interests, your
ideas, your dreams, or your
talents.
Call it hobbies if you will, but
I really mean more than that.
Many men and women would
obtain great relaxation and hap
pineSS by expressing themselves
through writing of some kind, or
beautiful hand work of some
kind, through music or art or
gardens or through an idea.
1t is satisfying to see your
dreams and ideas materialize in
concrete form. 1t is frustrating
when they don't. I am not wise
enough>to explain what this does
for one, or why, but I do know
that it scratches a deep need in
the human soul.
Many people cut themselves
off from this great source of hap
pineSS and strength because they
feel silly about trying. Why?
Because they measure them
selves against famous or success
full persons in the field which
appeals to them. This is a great
mistake. Individual expression,
like love, is never lost. 1t really
does not matter whether you
ever become well known in your
field or whether you sell single

| Tips on Safe
Building,
RennodeIing

Accident prevention in the

booklet entitled, How to Build
or Remodel for the Safety of
Your Family" which has been
published and is being distrib-
uted as a public service by the

lane. New York, N. Y. Home
planners are offered some chal-
longing facts by the Home, a
leader for generations in pro-
noting greater safety in the
American household.
The booklet deals with the
main features of the design and
construction of a house and
grounds-features which auto
matically go a long way toward
preventing or minimizing the re-
suits of careleSsneSS or 'unavoid-
able" catastrophe. Even though
no house can be 100 accident
proof" states the booklet, re
search figures show that the
main burden of blame for acct
dents rests on the design of the
house, not on the. people who live
in it.
THE more expensive home
may be no safer than the low
cost home. Safety depen d S
mostly on the design of the
house, not on the cost of ma
terials and construction. BY Civ
ing your main attention to the
principal sources of accidents and
fires, your plans can take into
account the factors of human
nature and human error. Most
accidents occur from certain def
mite causes in certain definite
spots, where proper planning can
often prevent injury or death
with little or no extra cost"
The booklet advises discus
sion with an architect and build
er before building or remodeling
a home with a view to incor-
porating as many safety features
in the home as conditions per-
nit. 1t presents many possible
ties to the home planner and af-
fords him a better basis for
choosing those features most
important to him.

article you make or anything

love.
The important thing is what
these things do for you and to
you. We are all so different but
we all respond to self-expression.
no matter how timidly or slowly
we are able to expend it.
The funny thing is that the
most successful careers have
been built on honest and enthu-
siaStic self-expression. The 9TH

always spot them.
Do not be timid. Do not feel

yourself out of the rut. You will
