HEATING SYSTEMS COME TO
TWO TYRRELL co. CHURCHES

The day when people go to
church and have to sit straight on
the edge of pews in an almost
"hugging themselves" position to
keep warm, and trusting in the
Lord to keep them from contract
ing pneumonia for the short, but
seemingly long, hour service on
Sundays, is fast disappearing in
Tyrrell County.
Two churches can now boast of
new central heating plants: The
Wesley Memorial Methods t
Church and the Sound Side Mis-
sionary Baptist Church, while a
third: Malachi's Chapel Free-Will
Baptist Church has a new gas
heating system.
The St. Andrews Episcopal
Church is struggling towards that
goal, by a separate heating fund,
originated during 1856 by a former
member who lives in Aver, Mass,
Mrs. Margaret Harrell Burke.

NORFOLK MAN SPEAKS TO
MASONS IN COLUMBIA

Columbia.-W. F. Powers of
Norfolk, and teacher of the Wes-
leyan Bible Glass for Is years,
gave the principal address at a
banquet honoring the members of
the Masonic Lodge No. 678 of Co
lumbia by the Columbia Chapter
No. 281, Order of the Eastern Star
on Thursday, January 30th at 2
pm. at the high school cafeteria.
Using as his subject "The Value
of the Individual" Mr.. Powers out
lined that the individual was the
worlds greatest asset; everything
done on the individual basis; that
organizations overlook the individ-
ual in appointing committees and
outlining plans, but it is the indi-
vidual who executes. He outlined
that Jesus was constantly talking
to crowds, but that everything he
did was to the individual one at a
time, and said things that belong
to the individual. By saying aye
are the Salt of the Earth" Jesus
was comparing the individual to
life, as salt is to food, adding flaw
or to life; balancing, preserving,
and leveling the influence on life,
he further related.
Seven Past Masters of the IS
since organization, one of which is
of the Providence Lodge
No. 67S were present at the ban
quet.
The speaker was introduced by
Past Master Donald Alexander, of
Currituck, and Mrs. Statha A. Nc
Clees, Worthy Matron. Guests were
welcomed by Mrs. Iris Jones, As
sociate Matron, and response given
by J. A. Morris of CresweIl.
Special music in the form Of
song was rendered by Mrs. Mar
earet Davenport and Mrs. Mile
w. Alexander singing "Hymn of
Love" from Largo of the New
World Symphony, and Perfect
Day" by Carrie Jacobs Bond. Ac-
companying at the piano was Mrs.
Gladys Sawyer. About 80 attend

is going steady with another girl.
She asked me what would do

It seems quite a coincidence that
your girl friend always meets her

she goes to the dentist. However.
if she acts polite but disinterested

does ignore his letterS--I doubt
that he will continue to write her
