ENTERTAINS BOOK CLIB Mrs. H. W. Doub was hostess to the Walter Hines Page Book Club and a number of invited guests at her home on Montford avenue last Thurs day afternoon. An interesting literary program was enjoyed with Mrs. E. M. Harris giving a review' of the book, “The Gracious Lady,” the life of the President’s mother, and Mrs. J. Talbot Johnson reviewing the book, “As I Live and Breathe,” and also narrating many interesting events of her recent trip through the New England States. Following the pro gram a social hour was enjoyed while the hostess served refreshments. BRHKiE PARTY Mrs. Wimberly Bowman and Mrs. J. B. Edwards were joint hostesses at a bridge party at the Community House on last Tuesday afternoon with the living room attractively decorated with summer flowers and arranged for five tables of the game, following which Mrs. H. L. Edge, Miss Edna Maurer and Mrs. Dan Allred were presented with prizes. A surprise shower was given Mrs. Robert Farrell in which she re ceived many beautiful and hemdsome presents. For the first time since the open ing of the season, this week saw a substantial reduction in the market price of Sandhills peaches. Hereto- ] fore the fruit has been bringing prices | on the eastern produce markets that i have averaged from $3.75 to $4.00 for j the better grades and larger sizes, I but for the past week averages of around a dollar less have been the general rule. At the present time Georgia Belless are still coming in and will continue to do so for the remainder of the week while this week, also, will see the peak of the Elberta crop. It is this condition, with the end of the | peach crop in sight rather than any ! question of the quality of the fruiL. that is responsible for the drop in I the price. On tne watermelon markets sup-1 plies are generally heavy with the ‘ demand light and the quality anrt ; condition of the supply on hand gen-1 erally ordinary to poor. Prices con tinue to remain at about the same | level as they have been since the firrft | watermelon shipments and, in view of the heavy daily shipments to an al- j ready well supplied market, there is | no immediate indication of an ad- j vance in prices. | HEMP HAS GALA DAY TO CELEBRATE IMPROV'EMENTS >IcQl EEX B.AILEY, COl'NTY SURVEYOR.

Approxi mately a quarter million in money went into the project. The great bulk of it $210,000, into the water and sewer system. With these for bid ders the citizens of Hemp haven’t any notion of remaining at 2,000. There is water enough in the Bear Creek intake to irrigate the big five cities of North Carolina. Nobody in North Carolina will drink from a purer supply. Federal Funds Used The federal government, of course, was behind it, but one of the modern tendencies has been to admit that the federal government isn’t a fur- riner. The water and sewer system was a PW’A, the city hall a WPA project. Representatives of both the big federal agencies were there Sat urday. Stanley H. Wright, North Car olina director of the PW’A, and George W. Coan, Jr., State Admniis- trator of the WPA, were billed for addresses. Wright was there in his own proper person; Coan sent his best hand, Fred J. Cohn, who always bids for public gratitude in his speeches by being brief. These speakers were followed by Dr. Warren H. Booker, director of the division of sanitary engineering for North Carolina, and Lieut. Governor "W. P. Horton mad»‘ the final address. All the speaking, under a sun that was so hot that it jumped, was completed in barely more than a half an hour, and that with an introducer for each oratoi. The prayer was made by Rev. W. L. Dawson. Methodist minister, who thanked the Lord for the real tryout that democrac" is getting ia this portion of the world. G. E. W’alkev was master of ceremonies, the address of welcome was made by Mayor W. P. Saunders and the response by M. G. Boyette, of Carthage. That was the ceremonial. But Wright gave Hemp a new era. In looking over the town’s needs the federal government saw some $221,- 000. When this system was complet ed it was one of 67 such PWA pro jects which have made a total of $7.- 931,000 spent similarly in North Car olina. This is beauty mixed w'ith util ity, he said. He was very happy to have a part in the ceremonies. U. L. Spence, attorney for the town of Hemp, introduced Lieutenant Gov ernor Horton, who suggested that if there is extant the virtue of tolerance, application of the quality of politics is in order. Moore -Advertises State He got the best hand of the day. Moore county, he said, has advertised North Carolina moi-e to the world than any other county has done. And that went for Bunconbe with its alluring mountains and their cli mate, for Durham and Forsyth with their tobacco, and for Raleigh witn its State government and its politics. He did not make the comparisons, he just said Moore had made North Car olina ‘‘a city set upon a hill, w'hose light cannot be hid.” The crowd then severed and went about town. Some of them ate barbe cue for the fire department at the ball park, another took lunch up town. The set program was over and the visitors surveyed Hemp. They found much more than half the 2,000 population in the Pinehurst Silk Mills where 900 are employe ! in that big rayon manufactory. Another 200 or so could have bee'i found in the talcum mines. The ray on community presents an unusual array of residences in which the op eratives live. Its w'eekly pay roll ‘.a $12,000. There ia no hiding the pride of Hemp over its water and sewer sys tem. The work began 18 months ago. The town of Hemp and the United States government are copartners. The engineers say that there isn’t a better system to its inches in North Carolina. GOV. HOEY HERE TOD.AY TO L.4UNCH SANDHILLS PROJECT (Continued from'page one) from the Washington office. The committee also announced that Frank T. Bell, U. S. Commissioner of Fisheries, Department of Commerce, is in the group of notables who hava definitely • committed themselves to be present. Congressman Walter Lambefa, who represents the district in which this 62,000-acre forestry, wild life and recreation development is located, will not be able to be present due to the fact that as a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee he has gone abroad as a representative of Congress to attend the ceremonies of the Battle Monuments Commission.
