Pope to Recall Name and Accident Particulars. Lumberton, Aug. 22.—A chance word spoken by a visitor in the Baker sanatorium caused W. S. Pope, a patient out of his mind for three days, suddenly to recpll his name and particulars of an accident last Wed nesday from which he was brought here in an unconscious condition. Grover T. Page, who found Mr. Pope, a native of Columbus, Ga., and caused a local physician to bring him to the hospital, happened to mention thb name of Dr. Pope, of Lumberton. The dazed man asked that it be re peated, and from that he told his story of being pushed from a car four miles from .here by two men who had picked him up. Mr. Pope said that previous to a few days ago, he was employed in the silk mills of Cramerton, Gaston coun ty. He is 52 years old, and had no money on his person when brought to the hospital, although he said that he had $7 when he left Lumberton Wed nesday. • 4 « BUTTERWORTH HERE FOR TALK BEFORE LOCAL ROTARIANS Tells of Work Being Done in Charlotte to Aid Young People Who Want to Se cure .Education. Ebert Butterworth, of the Charlotte Rotary Club, was the speaker at the weekly meeting of the Concord club yesterday. He was a guest of the “Back to School” committee of the Concord club and discussed at some length the work being done by a sim ilar committee of. the Cbariote club. The following are extracts from his address: “For the last three or four years the Charlotte Rotary Club has had two committees, the Rotary School committee’ and the ‘Studefit’s Loan Fund Committee.’ This year the work of these two committees, which overlapped considerably, has been consolidated in one committee known as the ‘High School and College Loan Fund Committee.’ In the Charlotte club the work done among the school children had its inception in the idea that ‘no child in Charlotte should fail to get an education for lack of financ es.’ With this as both the foundation and the goal the committee went to work. “Each case that cbmes before the committee is handled individually. There is no attempt made to group similar cases and handle them me chanically as a matter of routine, al though many of them fall naturally into classifications. The cases han dled range from children whose par ents cannot afford school books to lending money to ambitious young men who are trying to work their way through college. By far the greatest number of cases are found where children have to be treated for trouble with their eyes, ears, nose and throat. Another typical case is that of the boy who is obliged to help support the family and who feels that he must discontinue school to make greater earnings. This type of case is rather difficult because our ap propriation is not large enough to permit much supplemental financial assistance. We endeavor to place the boy in an afternoon and Saturday job and then give additional help where needed. In one case we pur chased a bicycle for a boy so that he could work as a messenger boy. In other cases a little help with grocery bills relieved the pressure sufficiently to allow the child to continue the schooling. Some times we helped out by contributing $2.00, $3.00 or $4.00 per week in assisting the -d-get. get. “There have been a few cos?s wlere the children, girls or boys, who hr.ve been in the juvenile courts, were in corrigible. For one reason or another they were unable to continue in the city schools. In these cases the Com mittee managed to locate an endowed industrial school or similar institu tion and placed the child there. Tb’.s costs about SB.OO or $9.00 per month for maintenance. “Then there are some cases where the expense involved is too great for the limited funds placed, at the dis posal of the committee. “Take the cases where only books are needed. Our school board has a fund for furnishing books to indigent children. Very often the parents do not know about this or how to make application to the board. Our com mittee works with the School Bosrd and secures these books where tht par ents might fall. Th : s saves the Club some of its appropriation. “As I said before the largest num ber of cases involve children hav ing physical defects. By defects I mean children who are doing very poor classroom work due to defective eyesight, diseased tonsils, adenoids and other physical defects of that character. In Charlotte the schools are under the supervision of tra ; ned nurses who make regular periodical examinations of every child for eye. ear, nose, throat and teeth troubles. From the very beginning there were so many call* for help of this kind that the committee arranged, through the co-operation of the eye, ear. nose and throat specialists for a flat rate on this work. “In the case of defective vision we have a doctor filling the opt : cian clas sification in the club. He makes all examinations without charge. The glasses W’hich he prescribes are sold to us by the American Optical Com pany at a liberal discount. “You will want to know very nat urally, where and how do you find out about these children? Experience has demonstrated that the best way to get leads is through close co-operation with the school authorises, the prin cipals, teachers and particularly the school nurses and truant offieere. These are they who are in the best position to really know, which children are most deserving. Where the applica tions do not initiate with these au thorities, but come from parents or friends the committee invariably goes to them for ififormation and approval before taking any action. By follow ing this rule of proceedure it has helped eliminate, or at least reduce to a minimum, those cases whefe money was spent on undeserving children. “Suppose we were helping a boy through college. We would lend him S2OO per year for four years, or a to tal of SBOO. About the fifth or sixth year this money should Btart coming back to us, little by l little, as the boy made good in his work. This money would go to supplement the College Loan Fund and thus enlarge the scope of the work of the. committee. “I feel certain this work is bound to appeal to you all, not only for the sentimental element but mostly the practical in building up boys and girls into real citizens of worth to community, st| te and na tion.” Funeral of Archie W. Scott. Funeral services for Archie W. Scott, who died early yesterday morn ing after a lingering i’.lness, will be held this afternoon at 4 o’clock at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. S.

WEDDING RING IS RECOVERED FROM PANEL CLOSED CAR Little Gold Band “Lost” Sev eral Weeks Ago Taken From Right Rear Window Panel of Essex. While riding with Miss May Cook eon in an Essex coach some weeks ago, Mrs. W. C. Jamison, of Kannapolis, lost her wedding ring somewhere in the car.

Greensboro, Aug. 31.—Armed with her husband’s .45 calibre pistol, Mrs i Lee .T. Church, Wilkes county woman, stood guard over a liquor plant on the * farm owned by her husband and her self until federal agents could arrive l and destroy the plant, according to a report received here by J. L. Osteen, * deputy prohibition administrator for ' North Carolina. I The report was made by Agents H ! C. Ki by and R. E. Prevatte. Mrs. ■ Julia Grier, a neighbor, joined Mrs. i Church in guarding the place, the re- port stated. When the Churehs discovered that moonshiners were attempting to op erate on their farm, Mrs. Church took the pistol and went to the still, re maining until dry agents could ar rived from Wilkesboro, a distance of several miles. While she and Mrs. Grier were keeping vigil, three men said to have been known to the woman,, came up and began preparing to make liquor, the report said. Mrg. Church com manded them to halt, which they did, and refused to let them operate the plant. She declined to ehoot, how ever, and the men left the scene, but their names were given to federal agents, it AVas reported, and war rants have been issued for their ar rest.

GREASON, OUTEN ON OBSERVER’S ALL-STATE TEAM Randy Edmundson Picks Mythical Team From 11 SemhPro Outfits. Kan napolis Has Three on List. Concord has two representatives on the mythical all-state semi-pro base ball team selected by Randy Edmund son, sports scribe, in The Cbrrlotte Observer. They are Murray G/eason, second base;.and Chink Outen, hard hitting rightfield. The article in which Mr. Edmundson named The Charlotte Observer’s all-state semi pro team follows: Eleven towns are represented on The Charlotte Observer’s all-state semi-pro baseball team for the season of 1927. It is one of the most representative yet named, and it is a team with strong defense and offense. The selec tion is printed below. It won’t please everybody. The writer does not expect any such mir acle. But from information received from correspondents over the state and close followers of the semi-pro game each player tops other players of his position. A McAllister-Greason-Mottsinger- Hawn combination would form an in field that would be as strong as a stone wall on defense and like a pile • driver with the willow. McAllister is a base runner of no mean ability. His fielding with the Towelers this season has been outstanding while his bat ting has been jam-up too. Big Boy. Everyone knows what Murray Greason can do and has done. Four years in athletics at Wake Forest! He was crowned the outstanding sec ond baseman last year while playing for Fayetteville. Reports show he has not let up this year. So it's Greason again for the keystone bag! “Rabbit” Mottsinger has hit safely in 57 games and has fielded like a big leaguer, although he is a lad of just 20 summers. He is awarded the berth over Arthur Hoard, who is a danger ous hitter, but not the fielder to have excelled the Toweler youth this season. Jobie Hawn. Jobie Hawn, named on The Observer team last season, again gets the call this year. Jobie has been one of Hickory’s outstanding performers this year. If we were writing about foot ball —we *ould say he is a triple threat man —understand? An outfield made up of .400 hitters and sensational fielders! Ed Mackie, the former Carolina ace; Red Irby, the ex-Piedmont leaguer and “Chink” Outen, the hero of many State college games and a peerless rightfielder to the Concord fans, would make worry for any pitcher. Wade Lefler, the former Washington Senator, who now is per foming for Newton is placed in the utility role. He is a veteran of the game and knows his positions. Batterymen. Clarence Rawson, the old timer of sandlot baseball in Charlotte is select ed as one of the catchers while Town send, who played with Mt. Holly the first part of the season and later joined a Piedmont league club, is the other receiver. Pitchers! There’s always plenty to think about when one selects all star hurlers. Jimmy Fogleman, of Siler City, who at one time during the season had won 16 out of 17 games, tops the list of semi-pros. Lefty Smith has been responsible for endall Mills’ great showing, while another southpaw, Homesley, of Statesville, has turned in 20 victories. McAllister. Kannapolis lb. Greason, Concord 2b.

CABARRUS COUNTY IS SCENE OF TWO BIG EVENTS TODAY Hundreds Attending Hahn Reunion, Near Mt. Pleas ant, and Home Coming in No. 10 Township. Two important celebrations are be ing held today in Cabarrus county— the Home Coming of sons and daugh tres of Number 10 township, and the Hahn reunion near Mt. Pleasant. Re ports emanating from the scenes of the festivities claim that a great throng of people is present at each of the events. The Hahn reunion always attracts several hundred pei-soos from this and surrounding counties. The Hahn, family is one of the largest families in the county, and its connections about the state are wide. A splendid pro gram and a big picnic dinner featured the day’s program. Natives of Number 10 township came “home” today for a great time with relatives and friends. This event is being held at Bethel Camp Meeting ground. Still another event of unusual in terest today is the 110th birthday an niversary «elebration of Mrs. Martha Fink, who lives in Number 1 township. Friends and relatives of this lovely old woman will gather for a reunion and a great feast. Special Care Needed Fer School Chil dren. Children of school age require the most careful attent on in regard to their diet and health habits, asserts Ethel Somers in an article in this week’s Liberty, suggesting the pro gram below as a good one for the child to follow: “Go to bed regularly at an early hour, and sleep with windows open. “Start the day right with a good , breakfast, and don’t negltet to eat plenty of energizing cereal, prefera bly whole cereal. “Drink milk with every meal (about one quart da : ly). “Eat one or two generpus servings of vegetables other than potatoes dai ly--one of these vegetables preferably raw. “Eat protein body-builder?, such as eggs, fish, cheese., and m'it, daily. ‘'Maintain regular toi'et habits of chanliness and evaeuatiumv ' * >.5 VACCINATE SCHOOL CHILDREN FRIDAY AT MOUNT PLEASANT As Time Draws Near For the New School Year Children Submit to Vaccination Against Smallpox. The Cabarrus county health de l partment will conduct a clinic in the Foil building, at Mt. Pleasant, be tween the hours of 3 and 4 :30 o’clork 1 Friday afternoon to vaccinate school children against smallpox. The work ers of the health unit have been very busy during the past several days in administering smallpox vaccine to school children. More than 130 children have sub mitted to the smallpox vaccination at Kannapolis during the past week as the county health department held a clinic at South school. The State law as well as the county law demands all school children to have the small pox vacciation before being allowed to enter school. STATE SCHOOLS WILL REQUIRE 59,917 TEACHERS In 1950, Says School Head.—At Pres ent Over 23,000 Are Employed. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Aug. 30.—North Carolina’s schools will require a total of 59,917 teachers in 1950, according to a pre diction made today by M. C. S. Noble, Jr. in charge of statistical work in the department of education. At present a little over 23,000 teachers are employed. This prediction is not a rash guess, but is the result of several months investigation, and is contained in a report made to A. T. Allen, superin tendentr of public instruction. The figures were obtained by calculating the rate of growth of the schools since I 1900, and assuming that the state will continue its present increasing rate of growth. Despite this predicted increase in the number of teachers, however. Mr. Noble predicts an even more acute teacher shortage, in 1950, for his figures as to the probable growth of the schools indicate that, with an al lowance of 25 pupils per white teacher, and 32 pupils per negro teacher, 55,- 911 teachers would be required. Theso figures, aside from their in terest as predictions, will be of con crete value to the colleges and uni versities of the state in planning to expand their facilities for teacher training. In addition, the scientific prediction of the probable increase in school enrollment is of value for local boards of education, in planning for their future needs. According to the report, the teach ers will be distributed as follows: white, city, 21,924, rural, 27,903, negro, city, 4,286, negro rural, 6,764. In a note, however, Mr. Noble states that of the rate of city growth in creases very rapidly and North Caro lina developes a number of very large cities, more teachers will be needed for the city schools.
