New Boiler For
Southport School
A new boiler has been ordered
for the heating system of the
Southport school building and
will be installed before cold
weather begins.
Parents will be interested to
know of this improvement, as
there was considerable inconve- j
t nience last year as a result of
poor heating facilities in the building.

MAHATMA OUT
Rumors have reached London
that a new political leader and
foe of British government has
arisen in India. The leader is
Jawaharlal Nehru, educated at
Harrow and Cambridge, and mov- 1
ing spirit of republicanism and
independence since Mahatma Gandhi
has abandoned his political
crusades. Nehru's opposition to
British rule, however, is expected
to take a more definite and concrete
form than that of Gandhi's
passive resistance doctrines.
GOOD AS ANY
Adolph Hitler and his Reich
reach a higher peak of impor- 1
tance in world affairs with the
the rebuilt
aniiuuin-cmw** ??
German army, by reason of its
size and modernity, is probably
as powerful as any in the world
today. Visiting military officials 1
from various countries class the
new army as a powerful machine, :
"in modernity of spirit, training, I
weapons, officers, administration, ,1
barracks, regulations, uniforms, 1
and equipment." The army is :
controlled by two factors: speed
and standardization.
PEACE MEET FOLDS UP
A three-power conference which
convened to suggest means of | (
averting an Italo-Ethiopian clash ;
collapsed in Paris Sunday, hav-1,
ing done nothing toward its purpose.
British, French, and Ital-1
ian representatives were able to
come to no common ground for
discussion of the problem. There
will hardly be other meetings of
similar nature except at the
League of Nations session which
takes place at Geneva on September
4.
SPEAKS TO NATION
President Roosevelt, it was
learned Monday, will go on the
air at 9:30 (eastern standard
time) Saturday night, when he
addresses the young Democrats
of America, meeting in Milwaukee.
The address will probably
consist of a recounting of the
chief executive's stewardship up
to the present time. Incidentally,
he may use the opportunity to
answer former President Herbert
Hoover's demand that he state
his attitude toward certain c.on- ,
stitutional changes. ,
BECOMES FAMOUS
Isador J. Muller, who painted I j
the last portrait of Wiley Post, j}
is "sitting pretty." Muller, who i j,
was in financial straits, and who! j.
was facing eviction because of | c
the unpaid rent on his studio, has;t
become much in demand over j ^
night. He is engaged now in
negotiations with a number cfL
persons and groups for the Post
portrait. In addition, he has teen r
.given a number of commissions.

complaint to a local magistrate i
resulted in trial of the seven
young people last Wednesday of
charges of "willfully disturbing a

guilty, paid fines, and were '

LOSE "OLD HOMESTEAD" |
The members of the Kappa i
Sigma Fraternity at the University
of North Carolina are probably
wishing that they had been
less ambitious, or more independent
financially. In 1930, to finance
the building of a new
house at the University, the fraternity
gave a first mortgage on j
the new edifice. Later in the year |
they gave a second mortgage to
the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance
Company, of Greensboro.
Now, because, the first mortgage
satisfied, there remains nothing
for the payment of the second,
the company is suing the endorsers
of the mortgage. The Kappa
Sigs "are In a spot."
DISHING IT OUT
During the last eight months,
according to news releases of!
Friday, August 16, John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., has made gifts
amounting to some $76,000,000, to
charitable, scientific and educa-,
tional organizations. What orga-1
nidations and individuals are the
recipients of these gifts has not |
been announced, and Rockefeller J
maintains a discreet silence on j
the subject. It is known, however,
that in event of his retaining
the stock which he has recently
given away, the anticipat-,
ed federal tax law would have j
"soaked him plenty."
COULDN'T TAKE IT
Hungry, almost naked, and com- j
pletely exhausted, two young |
men, Tom Vitos, 23 and Graham!
Ring, 19, returned to civilization j
last Thursday. They had made a
wager with a druggist, William j
Rast, that they could live in the j
wilds for 30 days on their own
resources. They got back to Tacoma
after eight days' trial, and |
they face the unattractive task
of piling bricks for Rast for a
period of 100 days without pay.
Trunks and gym shoes, they said, j
were not much protection on unexpectedly
cold nights.
SOUTHPORT MAN
SUICIDE VICTIM

Willis, of Canavarel, Fla., and
Miss Edith Carolyn Gaskin, of
Southport.
Funeral services were conducted
Sunday afternoon at 3:00
o'clock from the Trinity Methodist
church in Southport with the J
Rev. C. A. Jones in charge. Members
of the Brunswick County ]
Post Number 194, American Legion,
attended the funeral in a i
body and preceded the casket in-'
to the church.
Full military honors were observed
at the grave. Under the
direction of Commander Robert
C. St. George members of the
local legion post paid a final tri- j
bute to their deceased buddy. G.1
Vann Fesperman read the war
record of the deceased, R. W.
Davis served as chaplain and LeRoy
Burnes blew taps. Members
of the Coast Guard also were in
attendance and the firing squad
of the Naugatuck fired three
volleys over the grave.
The funeral, which was one of
the most impressive ever conducted
here, was attended by an unusually
large crowd, including
many out-of-town visitors.

by a vocal selection by a group
of boys from the camp.
Guests at the meeting were in- !
troduced by President R. I. Mintz. j
Visitors included Robert D. Caldwell,
district director of the PWA
and Vernon Cunningham, also of
the Fayetteville office.
R. W. Davis introduced Judge
E. H. Cranmer as the principal
speaker of the evening. In a short j
but forceful talk, Judge Cranmer j
talked about men, declaring that |
the biggest thing in the world is 1
1 man.
At the conclusion of the talk;

nusical selection by the CCC
>oys. There appeared to be no
msiness of major importance for
:onsideration at the meeting and |
he regular business session was
lispensed with.
The final feature on the program
was the showing of a numier
of lantern slides with explalatory
remarks by Zack Willi-1
.ms, educational director at the
amp, and W. P. Killett, project
uperintendent. These slides
howed the work being accomilished
through the program of

luests were free to ask any quesions
they wanted to and the
jictures were thoroughly enjoy;d
by everyone present.

and the local communities. I realize
that we must have the cooperation
and interest of the local
governing bodies if we are
to do this successfully. It has
heretofore occured to me that
there may be many useful types
of work of a clerical, technical
and professional nature in the
various county and city offices
for which the WPA would fur

of county commissioners, boards; h
of health and of education, city I w

material equipment as paper, h
mimeographed forms, typewriters, f]
glue, book mending and binding

"There are probably many volumes
on your court house shelves

there may be statistical data

Perhaps the health officer could
l use some trained and practical
nurses, under his direct super:

Some of the types of workers
(which are to be used on the projects
among the women follow:
Dieticians, home economists,
pattern makers, seamstresses,
practical nurses, public health
nurses, registered nurses, garde- ]
