Legion Auxiliary
Poppy Sale
Sat-, May 26
A POPPY for REMEMBRANCE

A POPPY for REMEMBRANCE
- this is the theme for the an
nual poppy sale of the Ameri-
can Legion auxiliary to be held
here Saturday, May rs. The
poppy, which grew wild in the
fields of France and Belgium, has
become the symbol of the Amer
lean Legion and of its Auxiliary.
1t is immortalized in the follow
ing well known poem by Col.
John McCrea:
IN FLANDERS FIELDS
In Flanders fields the peoples
blow
Between the crosses, row on
row,
That mark our place: and in
the sky
The larks still bravely singing
fly,
Scarce heard amidst the guns
below. /.
We r the dead.
Short days ago we lived, felt
dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved and
now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the
foe,
To you from falling hands we
throw
The Torch - be yours to hold
it high;
If We break faith with us who
die
We shall not sleep, though
peoples grow
In Flanders fields.
Most of the members of the
who are able to do so
will sell the flowers on the
streets here. They will work two
hour shifts. They receive no pay,
and all of the money you con-
,ribute goes for veterans and
,hild welfare projects of the To-
al Auxiliary Unit. Next week we
will tell you a number of inter
facts about this project,
md how it helps the community,
and nation - one of the
pledged aims of the American
Auxiliary.

Hydes Attend
Centennial Meet
In Hawaii

Doctor and Mrs. Robert A. Hyde
recently returned from Honolulu,
where DR.. Hyde attended the Cen
tennial meeting of the Hawaiian
Medical Association. While there
the Hydes stayed at the New Reef
Hotel on Waikiki Beach, which
was the convention headquarters.
Among the many interesting
speakers at the meetings were DR..
Elmer Hess, president of the
American Medical Association;
and DR.. Paul Dudley White, known
to many because of his attendance
President Eisenhower. While
at Honolulu, DR.. and Mrs. Hyde
toured Pearl Harbor and the is
land of Oahu. Then in conjunc-
ton with the meeting, they toured
the islands of Maui and Hawaii,
where one of the highlights of
their trip was their stay in the
Kona district of Hawaii at the
Kona Inn.
The island of Hawaii presented
many fascinating sights such as
Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, snow
capped active VOLCANOES, beautiful
coast lines with black and green
sand beaches, orchid gardens, ex-
otic flowers and plants, large cat
tie ranches, coffee plantations and
lava flows.
While in Honolulu they made
acquaintance of Clayton
Wheeler, former resident of Sid
1ey, and relayed greetings from
MS friends in Sidney.
The Hawaiian Medical Associa-
ion was very hospitable and pre-
interesting events that had
he color and romance of old Ha-
vail, such as luaus, hukilus and
ceremonial dances.
The Hydes state that II was a
most memorable vacation and that
hey hope to return again some
but they are happy to be
back home again.

Over 1000 Register For Sidney
Elks New Home Grand Opening

Approximately 1000 Elks and
their wives attended the grand
opening of the new Sidney Elks
Lodge Home last Friday and Sat-
urday. The doors of the splendid
new building opened Friday

Dakota, Nebraska and Illinois
and near and distant points in
Canada, here to help dedicate

the finest Elks homes in any city
in the United States of under
10000 population.
Friday registration of guests
started at 8 a. m. and continued
until 800 Saturday evening.
Friday afternoon all Elks' la
dies were served a buffet dinner
at the Lone Tree Inn, and at the
same time a dinner was served

including local members, in the
spacious lodge hall and dining
room made one by opening the

Plan To Open
Swimming Pool
Sunday, June II

If warm weather continues,
plans are being made to open the
swimming pool Sunday, June II.
Watch the paper for further an
nouncementS concerning ticket
sale and registration for the swim
ming classes. Many people have
asked about the operation of the
swimming pool and during the
season many rumors circulate
about town concerning its sani-
tary operation. Swimming pools
are operated under regulations of
the State Health Department.
Monthly reports must be made to
that department.
Our municipal pool is of the
recirculating type; water is con-
tinuously being recirculated thru
the filter units and chlorine and
other commercial chemicals are
added to insure sanitary swim
ming conditions. Water is filtered
at the average rate of 600 gallons
per minute and with 100000 gall
Ions of water in the pool, it means
that it takes approximately six
hours to filter the pool. These fill
ter units remove from the water
insoluable materials. While the
water is being filtered, a chlori-
nator unit injects into the filter
water chlorine which is maintain
ed from q to s.. parts per million,
as required by the state depart
ment of Health. Other commercial
chemicals n added to inhibit the
growth of algae. 1t is that green
scum which clouds the water and
has a d~isagreeable odor and re-
duces the efficiency of the fill
ter units.
There are many problems in the
operation of a municipal pool.
Keeping the water clean requires
the efficient operation of the fill
ter units, chlorinator, and keeping
a minimum of the foreign mater
ials such as dirt from the streets,
leaves and branches from sur
rounding trees. Oiling the streets,
development of a good lawn, and
the removal of several obnoxious
cottonwood trees would help a
great deal. The obtaining of water
in sufficient amount to fill the
pool is a problem during hot dry
periods.
The diving area has been paint
ed white this year. This will aid
in keeping the pool clean and will
make the work of the lifeguards
easier and better. If the painting
proves successful, the remaining
area of the pool will be painted.

SOME OF THE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN WOMEN AND MEN

(By Bob Taylor, U. S. News)
Richard H. Robertson, editor of
THE NEWS, of Leaksville, N. c.,
has started something-for the
rest of US to finish.
Have you noticed" he asks in
his Town Talk column, the in
Vulnerable things women do diff
ferently than men?
"A man squeezes a toothpaste
tube the logical way, that is, from
the top A woman squeezes it
from the middle. A woman strikes
a match away from herself. Men
the other way. Maybe the females
have the right idea there.)
"Women close their eyes when
kissed. Men keep theirs open.
When undressing, a man takes his
shoes off first. A woman takes
her shoes off next to last. A wom-
an turns on the gas and then looks
for matches. A man gets the
matches first. A woman looking
at her fingernails holds her hand
straight out and the palm down.
A man looking at his fingernails
bends his fingers toward himself.
"a woman never consumes q
piece of candy in its entirety. She
bites it in half to see what is in
side. A man eats the whole piece
Immediately. Check this on your
wife.
eff you notice anything else
women do differently than men,
please let US know. We can use the
information for our horses and
women files"
Well, since Mr.. Robertson asks,
there's the matter of buttoning
jackets, women on the left, men
on the right. Women delight in
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. they want to
buy anything or not. Men are
driven to it only by desperation.
Women move the spoon away from
themselves when eating soup
men toward themselves.
But the most unfortunate diff
ference, we think, energies in the
course of losing the temper. The
madden women get, the faster they
talk. The more furious the man,
the more tongue-tied.
Still, as Editor Gene Dow of the
MONAHANS (Tex.) NEWS OBJ
serves: "Women can never be as
successful as men; they have no
wives to advise them"
We squeeze our toothpaste
neatly from the bottom of the
tube, rolling it tightly as we pro-
coed from day to day. This, we are
confident, is the only right way.

WlNSTEADVILLE MINISTER
NOW SERVES HATTERAS;
HAS SERVED AS SAILOR

Rev. Leon Ray Sparrow, who
was recently assigned to serve the
three churches of the Hatteras
charge, comes of a family of
church workers. An aunt. Miss
Stella Sparrow has spent her life
in missionary work in the noun
tains. Mr.. Sparrow's life has been
a busy one. He has served in the
Merchant Marine, taught school,
and engaged in a great deal of
farming.
Of interest to our readers is
an article about him by one of
his neighbors, Mrs. M. Hollowell
Allen, published in the Washing
ton News. A part of this article
follows:
cray, as he is know to all his
friends, is the youngest son of Mr..
and Mrs. S. T. Sparrow, ST., of
this community. He graduated
from the John A. Wilkinson High
School in Belhaven in 1889 and in
the fall of that year entered East
Carolina College. His formal
schooling was interrupted by
World War II. At the end of his
second year at East Carolina he
joined the Merchant Marines
where he served for the duration
of the war. The major part of this
time he was on ships carrying
supplies to ports in Europe and
North Africa. At the end of the
war he returned to East Carolina
to complete his college training.
This was followed with two years
teaching in Bath High School and
three years work with the Vet
Grams Training program in Pan
tego.
In 1910 Ray quit teaching and
devoted all his time to farming.
He bought several farms and leas-
ed other farm land in the Win
steadville area. He was becoming
well established in dairying when
the hurricanes of last fall destroy
ed his pastures and dealt other
