' DALE CARNEGIE Author of "How to Win Friends and Influence People." DALE CARXEGIE A few years ago a family named Carlson landed in Duluth, Minnesota, from Sweden. One of | the boys was named Charles. He {was five years old. He went to school, learned | ^^ 1 h 6 EngliSh plied, so when the boy was fourteen he had to give up school and spend all his time selling newspapers, j As he stood on the street calling out his papers, he wondered J how he could get ahead in the j world. How could a newsboy with j little education get ahead ? Tough ', question. j One day, as he delivered a [ paper, he saw a young man writing shorthand to his boss's dietation It made an impression on him. That young man must know everything that was going on in j the office. He was near the im- ! portant people. That was a way I! j to get ahead in the world! He asked an older friend what | [ he thought of the idea. The friend I discouraged him. Said he didn't | : have enough education to learn [! I cViortho rifl | i3iivi wianui But the boy believed so thor-1 | ougly in his ideg that he decided to go ahead with it, anyway. He ! didn't have enough money to take a business college course. After inquiring around he heard of .a; woman who knew shorthand and | might be willing to teach him. | He saw her, persuaded her, started to study. He sold papers during the day; went to her three nights a week. Finally he could write shorthand. Now to give his idea a trial! He selected a railroad office, applied for a job and got it. Words he had never heard of were tossed at him; that night, at home, he dug them out of a dictionary and wrote their definitions over and over in shorthand. He was advanced to secretary of one of the managers, and soon was taking dictation on important matters concerning the railroad. He did more than take and type a letter. | He studied it; asked himself why I certain statements were made; | tried to get the manager's point of view. He learned more and more about the railroad business. He was promoted. Promoted again. He had a broader, more comprehensive knowledge of the business, than other juniors in the office. Finally he was elected manager; and now he was the one who was dictating the letters. Then he was elected president of the road?the Duluth Mesabi and Iron Range. It hauls the rich iron ore from the mines north and west of Duluth, and is one of the most prosperous railroads in the country. Charles E. Carlson did something almost any young man can do. He learned to be a stenographer, took advantage of the opportunity to find out all he could about the business, and advanced himself. Don't look at letter dictation as dull routine, hut find a way to learn about the business. That simple idea made one stenographer president of a railI road. County Women Combat Cancer Mrs. L. C. Fergus Of Southport Is In Charge Of County - Wide Campaign | For Brunswick In a statement issued last week Governor Clyde R. Hoey urged North Carolinians to observe April as "Cancer Control Month." Mrs. L. C. Fergus is in charge of the Brunswick county-wide campaign put on by the Women's' Field Army for the control of cancer. She stresses the fact that persons from all parts of the county will be called on to contribute to this deserving cause. Governor Hoey's statement is as follows: "The month of April has been designated by Presidential and Congressional authorization as Cancer Control Month for the entire United States and the General Assembly of North Carolina has joined the national authorities in authorizing the observance of this month by the people of North Carolina. "I am directing the attention of the public to the importance of this campaign for the discovery, treatment and cure of cancer. The whole medical authority unite in advising that most of the cases of cancer are curable if discovered in time and therefore that an early examination for cancer and prompt attention given to the first danger signals '' .V V THE STATE PORT PILO apparent constitute the best possible protection against this plague. "The whole field force of public health is engaged in directing the public mind to the danger of cancer infection and to the imperative need for early attention and treatment when any of the symptoms are discovered. I join heartily in emphasizing the fine work which the women's field army has been accomplishing and I call upon all the people of this State to give support to the campaign and to assist in raising the funds to carry on this educational program for the general protection of the whole public. I Since cancer ranks second among diseases as the destroyer of hu- j man life and since this disease has steadily increased its toll in recent years, it is of utmost importance that we give full assistance to the women in this educational campaign which will be conducted throughout the month of April." MOPPING COTTON Farmers of Johnston County are planning to mop their cotton to control boll weevils, and are showing more interest in diversified farming than ever before, says M. A. Morgan, Extension farm agent. LIKE TERRACES I. W. Mangum of Rocky Mount, who owns a farm at Pineview in Harnett County, wrote Assistant Farm Agent J. B. Gourlay: "I i am sorry that I put off building terraces so long." When pipes burst in flats and houses in Russia as the result of frost the person responsible are to be tried for sabotage. British scientists are urging a National Atlas for Great Britain and Northern Ireland, similar to | those of many countries. Flora McDonald Girls More Photogenic, Photographic (Continued from page one) girls from the rowboat to dry land, and the latter is charged with having dropped one of the prettiest girls flat on her back in the water. He did not know that the movia camera on the beach was recording the landing or that Bill Baker was standing by with his camera, ready for anything. The Flora McDonald party was composed of Dr. C. G. Vardell, President Emeritis of the college; Dr. H. G. Bedinger, president, Dr. A. B. Stump, Miss Vertie Prince and the following students: Betty McLaurin, Ruth Hart, Majorie McKay, May Prince, Josie Trotti, Marjorie Heater, Nell Thomas. Mary Bowen, Hilda Bailey, Dolores Hunsucker, Lucille Griggs and Alma Lou Spivey.

The entire trip, going and coming could be made by train, and in short order. The tiresome traveling by car, which usually confronts the President on his fishing trips, would be entirely eliminated; together with the difficulties that always confront the secret service in protecting him when he is traveling by car along country roads.
