With another decade departed,
census takers to Surry county have
taken the field to see how many
folks there are, how many are
working, how much money they
make, etc., etc., etc.
Paul B. Fulk, of Pilot Mountain,
is in charge of the census enum
erators for both Surry and Stokes
counties, with headquarters in
Pilot Mountain. Three types of
census are being taken at the same
time —population, agriculture and
housing. The manufacturer and
business census began in January.
The population counters will
tabulate the age, sex and location
of every person. They will also
list the individual incomes from
wages up to $5,000, location five
years ago, education, citizenship
employment status, marital status,
and occupation. In the agricul
tural census will be questions
about value, type and size of farm
and farm buildings, natuVe and
acreage of crops, mortgage in
debtedness and number of work
ers.
Enumerators taking the hous
ing census will ask questions about
the value, type and size of struc
tures, mortgage indebtness and
whethei* occupancy is by owners
or tenants. A report must be

"Fighting
To Show At FAk
Monday, Tuesday
The Elk theatre's attraction
next Monday and Tuesday will be
"The Fighting 69th," action
packed story of the fighting,
brawling Shamrock regiment, with
James Cagney, Pat O'Brien and
George Brent topping the cast.
The picture will run continuously
Monday and a matinee will be
held at regular hours Tuesday in
addition to the night showing.
Tough guy Cagney plays a
cocky young buck private in "The
Fighting 69th," and George Brent
is cast as "Wild Bill' Donovan,
heroic colonel of the regiment, a
real-life character. O'Brien im
personates Father Duffy, beloved
chaplain of the 69th. Jeffrey
Lynn plays the role of the war
time poet, Joyce Kilmer, and var
ious other men of the famed New
York regiment are portrayed by
Alan Hale, Dick Foran, Tom Ken
nedy, Guinn "Big Boy" Williams,
Henry O'Neill and dozens of
others.
Much of the rousing comedy of
the story is provided by the stand
ing feud between Private Cagney
and Top Sergeant Alan Hale,
which culminates finally in a
knock 'em down and drag 'em out
battle in whiph small but wiry
Cagney knocks out big but windy
Hale. A candid picture of life in
a military training camp, it is full
of human interest situations, and
critics who have previewed the
film in Hollywood report that i| is
the most rousing, excitement
crammed entertainment of the
year. To quote the Film Daily it
is: "Truly a brilliant example of
screencraft, this "The' Fighting
69th". Motion Picture Daily calls
it "A striking piece of dramatic
entertainment." Showmen's Trade
Review classifies it as "real red
blooded entertainment for all
Americans."

Two Are Killed
In Races Sunday
Two auto racers were killed
Sunday at Salisbury before the
eyes of 3,000 people, several from
this section, when the wheels of
their racing cars became locked
on a curve, throwing them over a
high bank and into a row of park
ed cars, four of which weer badly
damaged.
Those killed were Ernie Rush
ing, 29, of Winston-Salem and A 1
Pruden, about 30, of Charlotte.
Pruden had a badly crushed head
'and died instantly while Rushing
died at a hospital 30 minutes later.
A spectator was injured by flying
glass but not seriously. A couple
was sitting in one of the parked
cars smashed into by the hurtling
racer, but escaped serious injury.
Rushing was North Carolina dirt
track champion in 1939. He was
employed by Hanes Hosiery Mills
in Winston-Salem and known by
many Yadkin people.
