MOTOR BOATS TO HELP
BRING CHILDREN TO SCHOOL
Chimney Rock, N. C., June 11.?The
' Raitherford County Board of Educa"*

tion will snoruy ici mo ?
the construction of a $42,000 school
building in the Luremont district
overlooking Lake Lure, on a comnpanding
site recently donalt^d for
this purpose by a group of community
friends.
Plans call for this building to conform
to the Northern Italian type of
architecture which prevails at Lake
Lure, and the new school project adds
one more unit to the general building
program embracing scores of structures
now well under way. The school
; building with a capacity of 336 pupils
is being designed to serve eventually
as a graded school, but will be
| used during the coming fall semester
i j as a high school. The elementary
t school will be located upon lots 15,
i 16 and 17 in block 4 of the Lure,
mont section at the junction of State
Highway 20 and the Joel Chandler
l Harris scenic drive.
This particular location will be
served not only by paved streets ana
roads, but by reason of the site overbooking
Lake Lure itself, It will be
; feasible to operate large capacity mo;
tor boats which will supplement the
. use of the familiar school busses.
| This makes possible transportation
iaccommodations for a school area
j twice as large as any now in operation
in this state.
The Chimney Rock office of G. i
Lloyd Preacher, well known Atlanta
architect, is completing plans for the
school, actual construction of which
is schlduled to start at once so as to
ready for use this fall.
The larger oultry growers of Alamance
county will ship 40 cases or
first quality eggs each week, leaving
the local market to be supplied "by
the smaller producers.

High Point, June 16.?Mr. Fred* N.
Ta(te, president of North Carlllnlans,
Inc., announced today that he has
Just received a letter of cordial endorsement
of that organization from
Gar. Angus W. McLean. In his mail
this morning Mr. Tate also received
a jletter of endorsement from Dean
N.l W. Walker of the School of Edu
cation of the University of North Carolina.
"Gratifying encouragement Is coming
to us in every mail," said Mr.
Tate this morning. "We are well
started with our state-wide campaign
by means of which we shall raise the
funds with which to advertise North
Carolina and its values and opportunities
through the columns of newspapers
and magazines of national circulation.
Everything seems to be favoring
us. Undoubtedly the state is
regarded with constantly increasing
favor by the Industrial world. It is
also apparent that the present Is the
most propitious tjme for doing that
work to accomplish that which North
Carolinians, Inc., was brought into existence.
Inquiries for locations are
being received and an astonishingly
large number by the more active
Chambers of Commerce of the state.
Tf course many of these inquiries are
of small value, but enterprise i. 01
real worth are looking with more ana
mnm. favor in this direction. One
- _
thing which is helping us and about
which the public has eard little is the
tact that the City of New York 18
actually moving to disperse its industries.
The traffic cohgectlon in that
city is so great that relief must he
found by sending factories elsewhere.
Mayor Walker has announced the purpose
of appointing a Survey Commission.
"At a meeting held last week in the
town hall, five hundred of the leading
business men of New York me^
tq discuss and endorse the program
of the regional plan of New York ana
environments. In an address at that
meeting Mr. J. Spencer Smith, president
of the Board of Commerce and
Navigation of the State of New Jersey,
outlined the program which calls
fcr the expenditure within a few
years of the staggering sum of one
billion seven hundred million dollars
fcr bridges, tunnels, transit lines and
ti e relocation of industries.
