colors. So use real dyes. Get an

MILK FOR HEALTH
IN GASTON COUNTY
Raleigh Over 14,000 school
children, many adults and various
civic organizations in Gaston coun
ty heard the message of milk for
health in an intensive campaign
conducted during the week of April
18th.
The campaign began by a survey
of school children to find the ave
rage amount of milk consumed
each day by every child. Poster
contests and essay contests stimu
lated interest in the movement.
Window displays were arranged
and a special speaking campaign
was then put on. During the week
of the campaign, extension work-
ers, health officials and home eco
nomics workers made -96 talks in
which the value of milk as a food
was illustrated.
Twenty workers took part in the
movement and at the conclusion of
the week, it was estimated that ev
ery school in the county had
heard of the value of milk. It was
found that the average consump-
tion of milk in Gaston county
amounted to two-thirds of a cup
per person each day. About 21
per cent of the children were more
than 10 percent underweight. This
was in spite of the fact that the
health authorities and teachers had
been making a sincere effort to in
terest each child in .drinking milk
in that county was very high as
compared to some counties of
North Carolina and the percentage
of those drinking coffee was low.
According to Miss Maude E.
Wallace, assistant state home dem
onstration agent, the success gain
ed in the campaign was due to the
hearty cooperation of the local
teachers, and health workers with
the six extension specialists who
aided in the campaign during the
week. Miss Margaret Thompson
and L, B* Atman, home and farm
charge of the movement
and were responsible for the excel
lent results secured. Miss Wallace
estimates that there will be a con
siderable increase in milk drinking
as a result.

THE CHATHAM RECORD
A Word Personal.
Every man in Chatham county
should know that to maintain the
Record on the present expensive
basis requires considerable busi
ness. The paper is now large
enough to make money when busi
ness is plentiful, but when it is
short, it is so expensive as to cause
a rapid loss. We do not want to
have to cut the size of the paper
daring the summer months, but it
may be necessary. Prompt renew
al and a little help in getting new
subscriptions can save the situa
tion. A few hundred dollars
in subscriptions would go far to
save the day. Bring your subscrip
tion when you come to court next
week and tell your neighbor what
a good paper the Record is. Re
member also, the first two hundred
subscribers, new or old, who pay
a full year’s subscription will get a
subscription to the National Farm
News, which sells for a dollar, free
as announced last week. We have
bought these subscriptions for the
sake of helping build up agricul
ture in the county. We are paying
for them in such way as not to feel
it, and have decided to give them
outright to our farmer readers. But
it takes a full year’s subscription
to entitle you to this present. The
most subscriptions we have been
getting are for eight months, cost
ing a dollar. Pay the whole 51.50
and get a dollar paper free.
Health Authorities
Stop Marathon Dance
Los Angeles, April 26—An en
durance dance marathon, which
started late yesterday in an elimi
nation contest for a SI,OOO prize
was halted at noon today by city
health authorities with ten cou
ples to the twenty surviving danc
ers, the authorities ruled that, due
to their condition and to that of
the ventilation in the dance hall,
continuation of the contest might
prove permanently injuries to the
girl participants.
Approximately 21 hours prev
iously the crowd of dancers start
ed steppnig at a Venice . Beach
ballroom from which they con
tinued over boulevard pavements
for a fifteen mile waltz and fox
trot into a city dance hall. Music
from orchestras on motor trucks
moved along ahead of them. The
hot pavement counted out 250 cou
ples, and long night, with few stops
for brief rests, discouraged 85
more.
During the forenoon several
girls collapsed and were treated
for exhaustion. One male dancer
also fell in his tracks and was
found to be suffering from an at
tack of appendicitis.
The thousand dollar prize was
divided evenly, fifty dollars to
each remaining dancer, after the
grind was ended by the author
ities.
State Bonds Sold
On 4 Per Cent Basis
As was expected by agents of
both State and syndicate and all
others familiar with recent State
bond deals, the First National
Bank Syndicate, of New York, con
ceded to the demands of the Coun
cil of State Monday afternoon and
bought ten million dollars of North
Carolina bonds at 4 per cent. The
same syndicate took an option on
the other ten million in bonds which
the State offered for sale and of
fered to lend that amount on note
until the option was taken up.
The 4 per cent interest rate is
the lowest the State has paid since
back in 1913, but it did not come as
a surprise. The money market is
exceptionally good and the bonds
were offered for sale at this time
in anticipation of a new low in
ftrest rate.
The only bid made was by the
First National which offered to buy
$2,500,000 worth of bonds and op
tion $17,500,000. The Council of
State, including Governor McLean
who entered the conversation
through the medium of the long
distance telephone, would not ac
cept those terms, and so after a
decent lapse of time, the syndicate
came across.
Governor McLean is now in New
York signing bonds. His business
address is care the First National
Bank, the concern which bought
the bonds.
