Modern Reading Writing 'Rithmetic JB ■> - lj WWKmm * m Anna Russell Thurmond, teacher at Auxvasse, Mo., has hit upon this novel method of teaching the pupils arithmetic in an Interesting manner; it the same time they learn poise and self control. She has installed two complete miniature grocery stores In the school room, filled with cans und packages on which the labels nre Intact. Her little pupils take turns as clerks. Specially manufactured money in the form of coins is used in the transactions. Catchy signs are posted about the room. The chll lren are tnught to keep up with the changing prices and to replace the stock. Let Them Tell Where They Stand ' We are now approaching our regular Municipal Primary and election. We have to elect Mayor and one-half of the Aldermanic Board, sevefc-al candidates have already filed notice of their intention of becoming candidates or succeed ing themselves. It has been stated .that candidates giving their plat form determinations as to their future conduct had not al ways been most reliabte as they sometimes change their minds without sometimes giving satisfactory reasons there for, yet even if this is so we still believe that it is a good thing for a candidate to have a platform and as the col ored people sometimes say in church when they are tak ing in a new member the candidate for membership, "Sis ter or Brother what i» your determination?" The usual answer most often given is: "My determination is to live right, to die right, get to Heaven in due time," with this determination the applicant for membership in the church is generally received and is not received with out giving a satisfactory determination. Even though at times some may appear to backslide. Now we believe from the candidate as to what he expects his future conduct to be, beneficial. We feel hat the public is entitled to know what will b§ the at titude of these candidates on the question of more park space for our small children which has been agitating the public's mind of late. What will be the attitude of the new board as to how the new relief money is to be spent, whether Rocky Mount is to undertake to build something that will be a future and lasting benefit to our population or whether it is the intention to lift the air committee continue to take most of this relief benefit. We notice from the papers that a new air committee has been recently appointed. There are many other questions that they could give us their views on. HOUSE PASSES 3 PERCENT SALES TAX WITHOUT EXEMPTION We notice from the papers that the House of Represen tatives has passed a three per cent sales tax without ex emptions on plain and necessary foods which was in the bill of two years ago and that the bill has been sent to the Senate. It is, to be hoped that the Senae will under take to find the revenue that is needed without resorting to the General Sales Tax. Aside from the question of right and wrong it strikes us as being bad for the majority party. In these close counties to have to justify a General Sales Tax without exemptions on meat, meal, flour, sugar, coffee, long sweet ening etc., and if the Senate does not change the rate it is certainly hoped that these vital food exemptions shall be restored. We heard of one school teacher that said she did not want her salary raised out of taxes on milk and vi tal foods of this kind, and we feel that it is not fair to the teaching profession to be crowned with this iniquitious tax in the name of education. Last year it was reported that a direction went out from he Supt. of Public Instruc tion Office in Raleigh to the County and City Supts. to warn teachers not to criticize the sales tax for out of the same they received their pay and we are further inform ed that this direction went to the Supt. of Public Instruc tion from the chief magistrate and director of budget. Now it is hoped that this propaganda will be dropped just where it started since the teaching profession Is too intel ligent to be the carrier of this propoganda. Why should the sales tax be any more of an educational fund than a fund to carry on less vital agencies.

PARAGRAPHS ON NATIONAL PROBLEMS AT WASHINGTON Battleboro Lady Seriously Injured Mrs. M. C. Braswell Reported Uncon scious In Local Hospital Today Mrs. M. G. Braswell, prominent resident of Battleboro and relative of a number of local persons, was believed to be in a critical condi tion in a local hospital where she was brought late this afternoon fol lowing the explosion of a water boil er in her home.

Physicians said that she was suffering from a fractured skull and other possible 'injuries. Details of the explosion could not be ascertained this afternoon other than that she was in the basement of her home when the storage tank for hot water of the type commonly used in rural communities suddenly exploded.

Pearsall of Rocky Mount and Miss Vivian Braswell of Battleboro. She also has a brother, C. W. Bryan, who resides in Oxford. Farm Women Beautify Homes And If Yon Don't Believe It Just Examine These Fgures North Carolina Farm women are planting trees, shrubs, flowers and grass. . Not only are they adding *hese beautification items to their home grounds but they are subtracting many of the old ramshackle out houses, the decayed fences and oth er eys-sores from about their homes or hiding them from the public eye by planting screens of climbing roses, hedges and the like to make the farm home more attractive and livable. Some others are finding a release from the terrible lieat of tho farm kitchen by planning an out of-door living room which is noth ing more than a shady, well planted spot adjoining the doorway to which the housewife may retreat for a moment of relaxation and enjoy ment. Miss Anne' Pauline Smith, north eastern district agent, has this work in charge for the home demonstra tion agent. * 0 Big Berry Yield Now Predicted Warsaw, March 24.—Persons in the Warsaw vicinity who have had long observation of strawberry pro duction predict the biggest yield, and a probability of the best prices since 1931. The strawberry plants around Warsaw are in the best con dition of any corresponding March for years, the growers say. The plants are so far advanced that very little apprehension is felt ov er possible damage by frost. While the acreage around Warsaw may be somewhat reduced from last season, the indications for a bigger yield are highly promising. It is stated that the auction market will be held here again this season. Straw berry picking will begin about April 10 to 20. o School Club Is Formed In City Lem Kornegay, Jr., Heads New- School Organization A group of about 50 boys met Tuesday afternoon at Central high school in an organization session of the Good Sports Club and nam ed officers.

Tho officers of the group are as follows: Lem Kornegay, Jr., presi dent; Pete Goddard, vice president; I. Woodall Rose, Jr., secretary-treas urer.

SI.OO PER YEAR PACIFIC AIR LINES JAPAN HAS OBJECTIONS REPORTS BUSINESS GAINS , ROOSEVELT LOSES GROUND ' REPUBLICANS PLAN FIGHT i HOOVER ADVISES PARTY LABOR GIVES WARNING BIG BATTLE CERTAIN FLAYS HOLDING COMPANIES DISCUSSING THE N. R. A. HEAVY BLOW STRUCK CRIME Regular flights between Califor nia and China are expected to be gin thig summer as a result of the decision of the Pan-American Air ways to inaugurate service. Operat ing airports will be established oa each of a series of islands forming steps from Hawaii to the Philippines and splitting wide the mandated is lands of Japan. That the new airway is viewed with suspicion in Tokyo is apparent. Navy officials th6re refer to the former German islands as "Japan's first line of marine de fense," but no protest is expected in view of the development by Ja pan of harbors in which alio per mits no foreign visitors. Commercial air bases will be erected on Midway, Wake and Guam, nut it is felt Japanese apprehen* sions should not interfere with leg itimate commercial aviation. Of course, everyone knows that such bases could serve military planes. Moreover, tley will be sanctioned subject to the right of the Navy to take them over in an emergency. Flying schedules will be worked out after the giant clipper air liners begin their flights. They have been thoroughly tested in South Ameri can service and there seems to be little doubt of the technical success of the line. The air service will cov er 8,500 miles, with five stops, reach ing Canton, China, in about four days as compared to the three weeks now required by the best liners. The Business Advisory and plan ning Council, composed of fifty-two members, representing practically every phase of trade and industry meets regularly to discuss the Ad ministration's policies and to coun sel -on business affairs. Last week it gathered to report gains up to 30 percent for the first two months of this as corn pur el to lost year, with the exception of companies connected with heavy industries, railroads, cotton, and some milling projects. The housing program was expected to aid these in the near future. Significantly, the statement of the Council asserted the sound ness of the American dollar "in eith er our own or in world markets" and that "based on its present gold value it is as sound a currency as exists today." A few days before Henry I Har riman, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, "re ported that since the Fall elections President Roosevelt has lost ground with the people of the country, who, while still admiring him and want ing to have faith in his policies, want jobs and are beginning to wonder whether "the New Deal will give them work and the comforts of life." While this writer expresses no opinion as to the reasons given by Mr. Harriman he agrees with the conclusion, which was clearly set out in this column two weeks ago. The head of the businessmen's or ganization expressed the belief that the depression was over and cited statistics to bear out the point. Following his recent statement, advising the country to return to the gold standard as the only means of effecting a permanent recovery former President Hoover is repre sented as believing that if radical currency inflation can be avoided at this session of Congress the na tion's monetary system will escape further disturbance. However, Mr. Hoover fears inflation if Congress piles the heavy added burden of paying the veterans' bonus upon the emergency expenditures now being met by borrowing, and feels that all Conservatives and sound money advocates should aid the Administra tion in defeating the immediate cash payment of the bonus. This sugges tion, it is reported, has not met with any hearty response from Repub lican members of Congress, some of whom believe that the increased national debt might ultimately force easy money of a fiat nature. Signs that the Republican party is getting ready to gird its loins for a battle next year is seen in the increased interest being taken by members in the threat of Senator Long to lead a third party move ment and in his repeated attacks upon the Administration. Chairman Fletcher, of the Republican Nation al Committee, chimes in with the observation that the schism in the party is disappearing before an "evident disposition of Republicans to get together." He does not ex pect any serious division in select ing candidates and writing a lib eral platform, sound on money and other mattery from which there has been a swing to the Left. The Ad ministration's Qplicies, says he, have failed after a thorough test and bus iness men have no confidence in the recovery program. According to President William (Please tan U page eight)
