Iu selecting as the subject for
, this year'a High School debate the
queation of naval enlargement,
the debating committee coald not
poaslbly have made a more ap
i propriate or timely choice. More
over, this question la one which
offers strong arguments on both
i aides and so will offer a tremend
ous scope for the High de
baters. From dozens of schools
1 all over North Carolina Mr. K Ji.
Rankin, Secretary of the High
School Debating Union, has re
ceived letters expressing approval
as to the choice of subject.
The interest evidenced in the
subject is farther shown by the
(sot that 280-schools nave already
enrolled in thi Union; and it la
very probable that 80 or UO more
will enroll by the first of the year
The committee expects to have MI
least 300 schools enrolled for the
final contest.' This would prob
ably meau that ewh school would
have an average of eight students
in the preliminary tryouts and
four of these would be selected
for the district contest. That is
to asy, 2,400 High School students
would be in the preliminary try
outs, and from number I,'JOO
will be chosen for the district con
test. And, allowing a minimum
audience of 200 to each one of
these schools on the night of U»e
final district contest, that would
mean no lt«s than 00,000 people
in North Carolina would hear the
debate on preparedness or non
preparedness-and (10,000 will be
a aafe estimate.

It may be of some interest to our

Economic conditions caused thi

strong argument in favor of reviv

the farmers, and thus not only ren

which the dyestuffs are made as

The best place to hide money is where they have vaults foy safely
protecting it. Every week we see newspaper accounts of people
having been robbed. Sugar bowls, rag bags, under ihe carpet, be
hind pictures, and all of those other places where people conceal
their money, are well known to burgHus- BHde it in OUH.BANK,
then you know you can get it when you want it.
