Dr. Melton, Prominent Baptist
Minister, of Norfolk, To
Be Here Week.
ALL URGED TO ATTEND
What do you like In religion? In
* ' . your home the furniture dealer tolls
. you that you! should be satisfied with
V only that which is best. One wants to
know that the doctor that is called
into the family practice is accredited
and abreast of the best knowledge of
his profession. We are interested—
though not as much so -.as we could
be—In-good schools for our children,
that is we cooperate more whole-j
heartedly'With school authorities to
this end. > ~ *• 1 j
' The ministers of the churches in
Sanford are deeply interested in giv
ing the community what they as
trained leaders in their chosen fields
feel to be the best interpretation of
religion. A few years ago the Pres
byterians had Dr. James I. Vance, , of
Nashville, Tenn., to come to Sanfoitl
\ for a fine-series of sermons in their
\ church. Dr. Vance represents the best
i we know today of the revealed love
of God for His children. The same
can be said for such leaders in reli
, gious thought as Bishop Mouzon and
i Dr. Smith, of Eton College, and Bishop
. r PenicB, of Raleigh. Our only trouble
in Sanford is'that these interesting
and outstanding preachers come to
u? altogether too seldom, but when
they do come it is to the fine prsfee
" of the citizenry of the town that they
hear them with pleasure and great
' . profit. ■
' Mr. Hawkins, of the; Baptist church,
I ) announces the coming ' of a notable
preacher next week. Dr. Sparks W
Melton, of Norfolk, Va., will preach
- a series of five sermons beginning eh
Monday night in. the First Baptist
church. Dr. Melton cannot be here
over Sunday because of the nearness
f of the Easter season and the desire
to be with his own people Sundays
> proceeding this Reason of religions
' decision. No one in the whole South
ern Baptist Convention is held in
higher regard as a man and as a
^ - preacher than is Dr. Melton, He be
lieves innur young people; he is hope
ful about the future for them and for
our world and against this background
he proclaiins the. jinsmcbiftble., rugiag
of God. :
. Dr. Melton has jpst rounded out
twenty-five years of unusually fine
ministry in Norfolk's leading Baptist
: church, the Freemason Street church.
The membership of this church has
moved to other residential sections
of the city and left the old church
down town in the business section.
, ’ Yet for twenty-five years his congre
gations have filled and overflowed old
Gothic church and gallery for two
services on Sundays. Friday noon for
several years Dr. Melton has.conduct
' ed a downtown Bible class for men of
all faiths. At present both the pregi
dernt and secretary of this class hap
, pen to be Jews.
The public generally is most cor
dially invited to all these services at
the Baptist church next week, Monday
through Friday nighta at 7:30 p. m.
Because we can have Dr. Melton for
only five services do not delay to
: come for the first and let us get ail
the good possible while he is here.
Come reverently and. with a prayer
•. for yourself (and for the preacher. ■
MATHEMATICAL PRODIGY

from 'the Greenville Reflector:
“Because of her expertness with
figures, Edith Nesbit, six year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Nes
bit, of this city, is regarded as a
mathematical prodigy.
“The child, who entered Third Street
School last fall, is credited with being
able to glance af a column of figures
and give the total immediately.”
Mr. and Mijs. Nes,bit, parents of
this child, formerly lived in Sanford,
where they are well known, Mrs. Nes
bK, before her marriage, was’Miss

LOCAL FORD AGENT
TO PRESENT MOVIE
Movie Production of Ford Motor
r Company \7o Be Presented
At Sanlee Soon.

ing picture produced by the Ford
Motor Company, is to bq shown at
the Sanlee Theatre, March 15th. and
16th. Complimentary tickets are being
distributed by the Lee Motor Com
pany under whose auspices the local
showings are being held.
The story of “These Thirty Years,”
begins 8<r years ago ' in the town of
Brookfield. Dave Haines and his aged
mother see their farm and every
thing they own put on the auction
block to satisfy a greedy mortgage
holder. During the auction, however,
Dave becomes inspired by a "horseless
carriage seen tearing down a rutted
country road at the neck-bieakln’
Speed of 20 miles per hour.” tie sees
a great future in automobiles and
wants Jed Travers, locfd livery stable
owner, to go into-business with him.
Jed withholds his decision until Dave
proves what his “carriage'’ can do in
a cross-country race with a horse.
Success favors Dave. He wins the
race—-also the hand of May Larcombe.
They have a son, Bob, who becomes
a problem in later life for he favors
playing to working, and spends Ms
“dad’s" money gambling on the stock
pjarket. The “crash” of 1929 catches
Bob. tie loses everything—including
his girl, Ahn Bailey, who has been
disgusted with him for some time.
Jed, the partner of Dave, sticks by
oBb, saves his; life on one occasion,
and finally inspires him to become
the maxi Ms dad, and Ann, would like
him to be.

Thirty Years!” include David Morris,

UNDER THE BIG
;/>.;/ WHITE DOME
- Pried Fixing.
Ten leading packfersl are accused of
'combining to fix meat prices. The
packets have been having trouble in
trying to keep going during recent
years. Now they are accused <jf try
ing to fix prices which *is perahps
the only way some of them can ex
pect to escape bankruptcy. ' J
What's the matter with price-fixing
particularly when a nationally known
make of clothing may be advertised
at the same price on the same day in'
the newspapdrs in many sections of
the United States? Mostly by local
dealer* carrying the NBA emblem in
their ado. . ■
They Built a Better Mousetrap.
AU of the talent in America is hot
concentrated in New York, much as
that, city wouk) Like us to think. There
are celebrated novelists, great sym
phony orchestras, v and giant news
papers elsewhere in'our country. . j
In Evanston, Illinois, too, live three
young women who by. a rare under-;
standing of American life, have creat
ed a career and accumulated a follow
ing of millions. Five mornings week/
while housewives are busy at their
tasks, these young women, who "call
themselves, Clara, Lu V Em come
into the homes of the land, through
the radio, to entertain listeners who
regard them as close, personal friends^
So long have they been doing it (8
and a^aif years' is a Long! timp pn
thte air) that they have become real/
to innumerable women who laugh and
dry with them and follow them
through their daily episodes.
Without benefit of gags, ghost
writers, of crooners, they have, out of
an idea and a purpose, 'held their fol
lowing where less 'understanding en
tertainers have disappeared after ex
hausting their tricks. Clar, Lu V Em
just “talk natchural,” about their fam
ilies, friends, and what they- read in
the newspapers. That this talk is as
real, as human,, and as inadvertently
'Wise as its counterparts ’ in millions
ofhomes, is attested by the thousands
-who write and confess they have
found, in this program reflections of
themselves and those they know.
But who are CLa*a, Lu V Em. and
how do they retain thig plain, human
charm through years of cpntinued,'
dazzling success? / They are three
young women who met several years
ago in the School of Speech at North
western University where they de
lighted sorority sisters by assuming
the characters of women they had
known' at home. After graduation this
1 • . ~ ' '3 V K:
mimicry became the backbone of their
radio program, the episodes being
prbpar*ed from day to day by the par
ticipants themselves.
That thejr.have nut lost touch with
the average American woman who
gtayS at home and rears a family is
because they'themselves live, by pre
ference, iquiet and retiring fives. All
three of1 the gjrls—in real life, Louise '
Starkey, Isobel Carothers, and Helen
King—have "married the men with
whom they had been keeping company
Tight along. They have all bought
their own homes, miles and miles from
where they broadcast in Chicago.
Their private lives center around their
husbands, households, and old friends. 1
Radio frolic#, do not lure them to the
city in idle evenings. And talk of big
ger things* in.,New York leave them
disinterested. Xn the small town they
capture the Trad'feeling of America.
Here’s tympd’s Large t Spider
Government > scientists have just
completed a irtudy of a giant spider,
8 1-2 Inched long, which is found in
several tropical countries where it is
a principal menace tol bird life. Boast
tag the formidable scientific name of
“theraphosa leblondi,’ it spreadmits
enormous webs* in trees and ensnares
small binds and fledglings. It has a
voraciojis appetite for the feathered
songsters whose principal enemy it is.
A study of spiders, made by the
scienrje Staff of the New National I
Encyclopedia* shows that spiders of
one kind or another exist in every
habitable comer of the globe. Many
are very poisonous, but very few
-species can penetrate anything so
tough as the human skin. The pro
gress of the art of encyclopedia-mak
ing is well indicated to any student
who glances oyer the information
given in the newest reference bookb
on a subject like spiders. In the older
works'these insects were scantily
treated, with a casual mixture of
mythology amt folk lore. The ne w
encyclopedias are accurate, complete
and up to\the minute in summing up
recent scientific' knowledge.
■ Rigging the Market
7 Since Senator Fletcher and Repre
sentative Rayburt^ introduced their
bills for, Federal .regulation of the
New York Stock*fexchange, the big
wigs.of the tagg^rt gambling joint in
the world, are ready to accept legis
lation to controjL jjjradSng Am the ex
change. "Of curBe.they don’t want the
Fletcher-Raybum bill. But that’s just
about what they .are; going to get,
despite thiir objections to it on the
grounds that “it will destroy the.free
and open market er securities.” Oh, I
yeah!
About the Tax Bills the People Want ]
During all this talk about PWA
projects and CWA loans and whatnot
ind the beneficial effects upon bu$i
iess in the states because they put
so many millions of .dollars into cir
rulation, Congress seems to be shut- \
ing both its eyes and ears to a real
rpportunity to put real money into j.
:irculation. Just by eliminating the- .
me cent Federal tax upon gasoline .
Congress could put $3,000,000 on the f
iverage into circulation in every J
itate. .
The money circulated by that scheme
would' be real money—hard, cold, dol- e
ars saved to taxpayers. There isn't j,
iny money anywhere that is better |
han that! And the taxpayers would ;
tnow they were getting full value for
heir money, because every one of
hem would experience the saving.
The trouble is that Congressmen
arc very quick about enacting tax .
bills, and very, very slow about re
pealing them. Then again they are
very, very slow about enacting some
tax bolls, and very quick about repeal
ing others. And- the funny thing about
it is that they seem carefully to
avoid enacting the tax bills the peo
ple want, and just as carefully avoid
repealing those the people don’t
want. .
There’s this general manufacturer's
tax proposal, for instance. There
never has bee a tax so widely advo- 1
oated, so vociferously sought as that
levy. It taxes everyone lightly, yet
is marvelously productive of revenue.
But it has become a political football.
Congressmen just won't play with it
for fear of political recriminations.
Nobody knows, of course, just what
political recriminations are, but they
must be something,, because Congress
men are very, very wary of them.
So that’s the picture. Congress
won't repeal the Federal gasoline tax
to save taxpayers more than $180,
000,000. It won’t enact the general
manufacturers” tax to provide the
government with revenue exceeding
$600,000,000—and more, as business
improves. What will it do?
Mrs. J. W. Dupree, who has been
sick fo» several weeWs is improving
her many friends will be glad to hear.
