VOLUME XLU. NO. 11 | Today arid j Tomorrow i IK FRANK P. STOCKB1UDGE j L| V atican rciv people realise that the Vati; :!.? residence of the Pope at Rome, is the largest and richest pal arc ii? the world. It coStedns 11.000 rooms 01" all sizes, including ha'.L. ebiipels arid living apartments. Here are 80 grand . staircases anil w.>0 smaller ones. Nobody can estimate the value of the treasure* stored io this building, out they include all of the gifts of jewels and precious metals which have been matte to the successive Popes by devout Catholics ,vi the past J ,500 .wars. There arc ' \ " tens of thousands of painting's and art objects each worth a fortune. "Rockefeller himself could hardly pay for the tapestries and paintings in t he Vatican and Henry Ford j would he bankrupt before he had. half finished, if he started to purchase these treasures at their actual value," says James T. Nichols, who recently returned from RomeGrenfell The young college men who have been assisting Dr. Grenfell in his medical mission work among the deep-sea fishermen of Labrador are on their way "out." The ice is closing in behind them and for the next Pine months the man who has given his life to helping others will be isolated from the world, as he has been every winter for nearly forty years.

The medical mission to the Timber folk was the result. Great Britain has honored her native son by conferring knighthood upon him. He is sir Wilfred Ovenfell now mi his old age. America has given liberally of money and manpower to aid in the work* The example which this scif-saerif icing doct< . has set has had and still has a ouiet but powerful influence on thousands of other young men who are trying, in their own selected sphere, emulate Grenfeil. Games Human nature demands plnv. In time of stress and worry, play is the best relief from nervous strain. That accounts for the sudden and immense popularity ot the newest outdoor game, "Tom Thumb golf." It is estimated that, even in this financially difficult year of 11)30, more than one hundred million dollars has been spent ini budding and equipping Tom! Tlruinb golf courses. Thov are evevy? where, and ait t act tens of thousands who have never played real golf. Cotton seed hulls dyed green ave used for the fairways ami greens of fcUgke miniating golf courses. Another current, sport is the ve viva! 6f the old game of backgammon. For years nobody heard of; backgammon; they ' U.ger generation j didn't know what the curious design t 6ii the back of the checkerboard meant Now fashionable society has i taken it up, books on backgammon j are being published, rules and in- I strnctions are being broadcast by j radio and newspapers are starting naekgjumnon columns. cm-.;,,., v.i iiua Civil war in China is not so se-j rious as newspaper dispatches suggest China is a huge country, cov.l ering almost half as much grounJ as I the United States and having three | times our population.

All of the ten projects except one are Federal aid jobs, the commission seeking to utilize all available Federal Ajd funds with the money it has on hand to match this aid. One hundred or more miles is expected to be added to the State Highway System at this weeks' meecing. carrying the system's mileage to above the 9,000 mark. The system now embraces 3,991.3 miles. The county voad systems of 9G of the 100 counties, Brunswick, Columbus and Gaston being absent, embrace a total of 62,202 miles. Chairman R. A.

Smathcrs States This Ir a Real Beginning Toward Restocking Depleted Fishing Waters of County Mr. C- EE Smothers., superintendent of the Rutherwood Fish Hatchcry and prominent member of the I'/.aak Walton League, tells The Democrat that an arrangement has been perfected between the sportsmen's organization and the seven:! iaritt-q owners affected, whereby the League owns the fishing rights of Meat Camp Creek, Howards Greek and! Morris* Fork, three of the choicest trout streams of the cbUYsty, So veilty-five thousand trout pf seven inch length will be placed in these waters next week. These fisli will have developed to a length of perhaps nine inches by spring and ii is the purpose cf the organization, says Mr. Smuthers. to restock the threc screams twice yfcmdy,^r> that there may be no shortage of the speckled beauties. Under the plan which the WaltonianS have worked out, patrolmen wili be hired to keep close wacth over these waters, and a permit wVii be issued for one dollar a day to fishermen to defray the expenses in curred. No season permits will be sold tn, anyone. Landowners and members of their immediate families will be the only anglers permitted ?rec>; and they must confine;their casting to their own premises. Mr?> mat hers believes that under this arrangement, there will be at least three streams in this county thai will provide really good sport, and thinks* that no amount of casting with rod and line could destroy the fish; He further states that the step: taken is the most important one Cor the protection and propagation of the finny .tribe, since conservation work started here.

The sti'prws \yiII he closed for . 30 days the last of May erf each year for restocKing. .ana in. mis way tourists and amateur angles from other mints will be sure of a catch, and thus advertise the county as a me?ea for sportsmen. The seven-inch trout released ?n the spring come within the legal size to be taken. The Tzaak Walton League meets each first Thursday at 7:30 at the Daniel Boone Hotel, and all sportsnieVi, whether members or not. are. urgently requested to attend and lend their co-operation to this important work.
