EIGHT Shirley Temple Fil Princess Coim It's always an event when Shirley Temple comes to town, but according to advance reports when "The Poor Little Rich Girl," the tiny star's new Fox hit, opens Thursday at the Carolina Theatre, it will be something in a way of a celebration, an epoch, a new milestone in entertainment.

Add to the star and the cast a modern, stirring, romantic story and five bubbling new song hits by those ace composers, Mack f the U. S. Department of Agri- j1 :ulture, after having been buried t thirty years, were grown successfully on exposure to the elements.

IN SESSION HERE LAST WEDNESDAY < 'Continued From Paee T> was no less interested than Mr. ' Etheridge, making numberless in- ( quiries as to what would aid the ' fishermen. He showed a keen interest and surprising knowledge, < saying that he and the department were now awakening to conditions here and that the fishing interests were going to find help in all things in which it was i within the power of the depart- ] ment to give aid. 1 Commissioner J. L. Home, Jr., i Rocky Mount newspaper publisher, was more than interested and : turned loose a deluge of ques- ' tions, suggestions and asked for I suggestions. He said he was genuinely interested, wanted to help, i jwas going to help and he asked . . c. sr a lengthy report, giving all >cal information relative to fishlg. A sixteen page report, such s he asked for, was mailed him londay of this week and a copy ,'aa also sent to Director Ethridge who had also desired all vailable information on local ratters.

He fishd at Southport 45 years ago and as a going to come back here, lince 45 years ago he has been pending much of his summers i more eastern Carolina counies, where he keeps boats. He aid that hereafter we could exect him back here. His return to is first love is prompted, to a irge extent, by the fact that rout abound here. He stated they ad almost disappeared from the lore eastern Carolina counties.

JESSE C. WALKER LEAVES RALEIGH BUT NOT FREE (Continued from page 1) He already has paid for the murder of Jackson Stanland Brunswick county deputy in 1914 but he still must serve 30 year! n Oklahoma for a killing there. Walker spent from 1914 te L919 in North Carolina jails rhen he broke out of a camp ir he western part of the state. "I won't say just how I die it," he smiled. "It might give someone else an idea. I'm not the W same man I was then. I've^changed since I met the Lord." Oscar Pitts, acting director of the penal division, thinks Walker has changed, too. "He's the most completely rehabilitated man I ever saw," Pitts said. Walker went to Gulfport, Miss., after he took French leave from | the prison camp. He became a jeweler. He married, he was a respectable member of his community. | But his conscience pricked. | "Then I saw the light," Walker said. "It came down from a tree top on a country road. A iman never forgets a thing like that. | "You remember a part in the I Bible that says 'murderers shall not inherit the kingdom of God' ?something like that? I "It worried me and I knew I had to go back to pay the debts I owed. Because the Bible also says man shall be forgiven for all sins if he repents in time and confesses his sins and his faith. I thought the hardest things would be to tell my wife about my past?but I found out she had known for years and never had mentioned it to me. She stuck by me and said she too thought I should go back and pay." I When North Carolina's Jean Valjean walked into Central prisson one Sunday afternoon a year ago, he told Warden Honeycutt "My name's Jesse Walker. I'm , wanted here for murder." "I recognized you when you walked in. Walker," the warden said. "We've been looking for you for a long time. Sit down and tell me why you came back." And Walker did. Governor Ehringhaus immediately became interested in the case. He granted the former killer a parole June 26, with the reservation that Walker be released to Oklahoma authorities. "But I keep looking on the bright side," Walker repeated, "I want to square my debt. And if WILMINGTON Care TOURS., FRI?
