Posters, combination window displays, book marks, Isotype booWets, and bangle pins have been ordered and will be ready for distribution the early part of September. The Christmas seal for 1939 was designed by Rockwell Kent, the well known artist, author and lecturer- This seal was, as usual, selected by the Seal Sale Advisory Committee of the Na tional Conference of Tubercu losis Secretarie.s The only in structions that this committee gave Mr. Kent were that the design should incorporate as its major feature the double-barred red cross, the world-wide sym bol of tuberculosis work. The colors used in this seal are red and blue. It has a background, with the red double-barred cross in the upper left hand corner, and the numbers 1939 in white in the upper right corner. The predominating feature of the seal is the face of a modern an gel. This shows the face and shoulders in red outline with a halo- In place of the usual cor ner seals which for several years past have appeared in each sheet, a block of four specials is made the center group in this year’s sheet, by contrast, em phasizing the beauty of the reg ular sheet. Recently when Mr, Kent was asked why he drew an angel as, appears in the seal, re retorted with the question, “Have you even seen an angel?” On being assured that his interro^jator never had, he said, “Well, thats’ my idea of how an angel looks,’* and it is a thoroughly modern angel, just such an angel as Mr Kent has been drawing and printing for the past 20 years, long before the World’s Fair Art of today was conceived. The Christmas Seal, as everyone knows, furnishes the money with which volunteer tu berculosis work is carried on throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, Alaska, and the Ha- waiin Island by more than 2,000 local and state organizations un der the leadership of the Na tional Tuberculosis Association. Largely through their efforts the death rate from tubercu losis has been reduced to less than one-fourth of what it was in 1904 when the organized movement was started. Without question, the Christ mas Seal has played and will continue to play, a major part in the fight to control and even tually eradicate this scourge of all mankind.

The Sandhitls bid goodbye to another peach season this week. What there were of the luscious fruit were delish, but the whole section felt the effect of the curtailed crop this year. “New England is all burned up. No green grass hardly anywhere. Much better in the South.” So writes E. C. Stevens, Southern Pines commissioner* from Chestnut Hill, Mass. A good looking photograph of the interior of the franjean shop in Sou thern Pines appears in the current issue of the Carolina Power & Light Company’s house organ, Prestige and Profit. Beneath the picture reads: “franjean’s interior lighting installa tion gives another idea of the bene fits of proper light in relation to selling.” Two fifty will be the price of all football games in the Duke Stadium this fall. You can see the Blue Dev ils play Colgate on October 7th^ Sy racuse on Homccoming Day October 21st, Wake Forest on October 28th, or Carolina on November 18th at this price. Duke's out of town games will be with Davidson, Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech, V. M. I. and State College. ENVIABLE OPTIMISM You have to hand it to H«nry Ford, 76 years young. When one can retain one's cheer and op timism through all the vicissi tudes of this life, and meet the jMissing milestoneis apparently enjoying the trip, he is to be envied. Mr. Ford— is enthusiastic about the fu ture and is convinced that there is “nothing seriously wrong with the world excepting to those who seek an easy way to success.” emphatically does not believe that there is any new world war ahead. is making progress in his ef forts to bring agriculture and industry into closer relationship and expects to continue that work for many years to come. is a firm believer In the rein carnation of the soul, is convinc- Listen to this wail from Upper Marlboro, in Maryland, via Associat ed Press: Tobacco growers want hte chant ing auctioneer at the local market replaced by someone they can under stand. “We can't understand that North Carolina fellow,” one-leaf grower de clared. “Let's send him back home and get somebody who can speak English." Members of the tobacco market ing committee of the Prince Georges County Farm Bureau who voted un- ed that after death all persons ultimately return to the earth in some other form, that man was put here for the purpose of saining experience, and will be much wiser when he returns. doesn’t worry, doesn’t eat too mu ah of anything and has “faith that what has happened nnd what will happen is for the best.” Succe.ssful financiers and man ufacturers frequently are look ed upon as being a pretty sour lot. But Henry Ford, perhaps thf erreatest of our financier-manu- ^’acturers, easily is the world’s foremost optimist. Everythin? In life is all right, everything ir ieath is all right, and everything everywhere is all right. Death terminated the government grants of 19 North Carolinians 100 years old or more during the fisca? year ending in June, Nathan H. Yel- ton. State director of public assist, ance announced this week. Figures compiled by J. s. Kirk, sta tistician for the State Board of Char ities and Public Welfare, disclosed a total of 4,692 public assistance cases closed during the year with death be ing the reason assigned to the 1,827 men and 1,511 women marked off the lists. Oldest of the 19 Tar Heel centen. arians to die was Sarah Gudger, Ne gro woman of Asheville, who receiv ed a government grant for the last 16 months of 122 years of life. Ma jority of those dying were between the ages of 66 and 83^ the figures showed. TOBACXX> WAREHOUSES IN FAIRMONT NEED HELP Two cases have been started in Moore County Superior Court against Atlantic Greyhound Lines and A. F. Miller as a result of an accident which occurred between Raeford tind Fayetteville in June of this year. One is by J. L. Pinkerton, who is asking for $2,500 damages for injur ies which he alleges that be sustain ed when his car was struck by a bus driven by Miller, and the other is by Newman Slack, who was rid ing with^Pinkelton at the time of the accident. Slack is asking for $2,000. They allege that the bus, carrying 26 passengers, was recklessly driven around the car in which they were riding as twa other cars were ap proaching from the opposite direc tion and that the driver cut back t onto the right side of the highway in front of Pinkelton's car as it was meeting the first appruacning car and struck ^inkeltons’ car, causing both occupants to be painfully injur ed. ANOTHER INCREASE SHOWN BY STATE B. & L. ASS’NS. For the fourth consecutive month the home loans made by the build ing, savings and loan associations of North Carolina showed an increase over the preceding month, according to Wheeler Martin of Williamston. president of the North Carolina Build ing and Loan League. The June total of $2,412,000 in loans made by these institutions is the largest amount of monthly loans made by the building, savings and loan at^sociations during the past five years, it was stated by Martin. He said that of this total $865,000 representing 480 loans was for con struction of new homes. A total of 323 homes to the amount of $577,000 were purchased through the building, savings and loan associations and 218 loans, to the amount of $407,- 000 were refinanced through these institutions; while the balance of 532 loans, to the amount of $583,000, were made, for repairs, refinancing, reconditioning of homes and for mis cellaneous purposes. CONTINUED INCREASE IN REVENUES OF SEABOARD An urgent demand for tobacco warehouse and redrying plant work ers at Fairmont has necessitated the opening of an outpost office there, said State Employment Service offi cials. A minimum of 2000 workers will be needed August 3rd. Experienced redrying plant workers will be paid 30 cents an hour. Warehouse em ployees and inexperienced factorj' workers will receive 25 cents per hour. Both men and women will be needed. The outpost office at Fairmont will be managed by C. B. Gilliam of the Employment Service. Transpoilation to Fairmont from a wide surrounding territory will be furnished by employers where truck loads of workers are available. Employment Service officials have suggested that interested workers call at their nearest Employment of fice for further information or ap ply directly to the Fairmont office for placement.
