Symbolism Used
Plant a tree in the sense of
enriching the resources of your
community and country by your
work. Symbolically, to have a
child is to create something
worthwhile, to nurture it by your
care and devotion. and to give it
the stamp Of your personality, :"

BE Safe And Sure
Urging Given AS
X-Ray Clinics Start

With free x-ray clinics in
three area counties starting
today in Cumberland, Dr.. F.
j. Clements, health director,
has appealed to people in
the counties to be safe and
sure" by visiting the clinics.
Tuberculosis is still an
urgent public health prob
lem, even though drugs and
modern treatment are saw
ing m n y lives. In 1858,
there were 1900 new cases
reported in Virginia, includ-
ing % in Cumberland and so
in Prince Edward" he said.
Anyone who dies of tu-
berculosis today dies of a
durable, needless disease. 1t
can be treated and cured,
but, first, the cases must be
found. A chest X-rav is the
simplest, surest way to find
tuberculosis in its early
stages when it can be cured
more quickly and easily"
DR.. Clements pointed out.
The clinics are scheduled
in Cumberland June 7
through 14th; in Prince Ed
ward June 1916, and in APP
pomattoX June 1928. The
hours are noon to z pm,

Priorities Fixed
In Baccalaureate
Sermon At H-SC

The Rev. F. Wexford Hobbie
told Hampden-Sydney College
graduates in his baccalaureate
address Sunday morning that
the Injunction, Seek We first
the Kingdom of God and its
righteousness" is a piercing in
sight from the divine wisdom
of Jesus Christ.
Showing how its decisive guild
ance enables man to fix life
demands in a proper order of
priority, the Tarboro, N. c..
Presbyterian minister led tn e
graduates to consider the de-
clslon they must make in three
all-lmportant areas: about God,
about vocation, and about
choosing a life's mate.
Speaking in College Church in
the service that opened the Col
lege's 184th commencement, the
Rev. Mr. Hobbie declared:
Men Restless
There is restlessneSS of
man for God which is seen not
Just in the philosopher or the
theologian, but in the life of
every man. Each of us is 60
ing to meet that restlessness
with god. 1t must be neither
a childish concept which is I'M
able to bear the assaults Of life
or an in1personal, unfulfilling
mechanistic concept which also
is to meet the challenges of life.
ITO find Jesus is to find a
God that is able to meet the
deepest needs of life.
Most Of you here have al
ready chosen the direction of
your LIES purpose the role
OF doctor, or a physicist or a
successful businessman. And
you have thought if but
attain this position, then hfe's
deepest happiness will be mine.
True Happiness
But what this text SAYS is
that this will be true only if
Christ is present and has been
faced first. One of the great
losses in the life of men today

Sout!,side Schools
Urges Parents To
Come Forward

Prince Edward Negro children
have gained another opportunity
for an education within t h e
county.
SOuthside School, Inc. an
nounced Saturday morning it
continues to stand ready to pro-
vide educational opportunities for
the Negro children of Prince
Edward if they so desire it.
In a statement issued after a
meeting of the board of directors
OF the organization, which was
set up to provide private schools
fer Negroes in the county. par
ents were urged to contact di-
rectors of the organization.
Reaffirms Position
A similar offer by Southside
Schools last December drew
only one application. At tn a t
time the board, which is COM
posed of white citizens, announc-
ed it hoped to set up schools
in the coming school year. The
week end offer reaffirms that
position.
The statement directed to
Negro parents by the president
OF the nonprofit corporation. DR..
r. B. Hargrove, said:
The board members were
quite disappointed last winter in
the response of Negro parents,
and at the present time does not
inteGd to send letters to the par
ents of every pupil as it did
previously; but feeling as We
do that adequate teachers and
facilities must be secured i'm
mediately if any proper school
is to be operated next fall, we
wish to urge those parents, who
would like to have their children
entered in the schools of this
corporation to get in touch with
one of the directors immediate
w."
Interest Indicated
The president of the group ex-
planned today why the second
offer had not come earlier. DR..
Hargrove indicated the school
unit had been waiting to see if
there was sufficient interest on
the part of Negro parents to
merit setting up the program.
IIe said directors had conferred
with some Negro parents, and
found some interested in send
ing their children to the schools.
However. he added further he
was not certain yet whether
there is sufficient interest, and
pointed out that the board felt
it could wait no longer if it was
to attempt a program for the
coming year.
Money for the operation of
the schools should be available, -
the statement continued, from
governmental sources with NO
cost to the parents; however
much work must be done at
once if schools are to open in
September. If no interest is
shown, we believe the Negro
pupils will lose another year OF
schools
A bid to talk it over was con-
tanned in the statement. IT h c

tor of the subscription campaign

ira equipment for the various ele-
mentary activities.

avoid general sdoor-to-door solicit
tations for sales. Each student has
been asked to contact only his
family and immediate neighbors.
Others in the community desiring
to renew a subscription or to Sc
cure new one are requested to
contact any student of their ac-

icy that the magazine campaign
should be continued to provide op-

be kept to an absolute minimum.
