Boys Home Aims To Rehabilitate Delinquent Youths In NC
The Boys Home at Lake Waccamaw founded in 1954 seeks to shelter and educate homeless and underprivileged boys. Plans call for cottages housing 16 boys each, funded by Civitan clubs and donations, with admission supported by family contributions and social programs. The home operates under the State Department of Public Welfare and feeds on church and civic support while boys attend local schools and church services. The annual meeting of the National Association of Homes For Boys highlighted concerns for youth welfare and reform.

Backyard pools boom in 1957 sparks home growth

Prices and DIY options have cooled since WWII, with experts predicting a flood of affordable pools once costs drop to around 2 000. Thomasville sees eight pools and more permits, plus public and semi private sites, while local salesmen adapt to changing demand. A separate note describes a charity appeal for nursing care funding for a Baptist Hospital patient, urging local contributions.
