AURELIAN
TARHEELS
\ttend State Camp At White
Lake With New Farm
Teacher
(By E. K. Veach)
Nine Young Tar Heel Farmers of
the Aurelian Springs Chaptre and my
self spent last week from Monday un
tli Saturday at White Lake. This is
the state camp for the Young Tar
Heel Farmer organization.
Every one of us had a fine time
and want to go back next year. I
hope it will be so a larger number can
go the next time and enjoy the week
as well as we did the past week.
we went by the way of Raleigh,
Dunn and Clinton and came back by
Clinton, Wilson and Rocky Mount. By
going a different route each time we
had a chance to see more of the crops
end country.
While at the camp there was a daily
schedule of recreation mapped out by
the director, “Bob” Evans to be fol
lowed. The recreation consisted of
getting up at 6:45 a. m., going to the
atheltic field and taking a series of
exercises for fifteen minutes and then
to the lake a few minutes for a dip. j
We had breakfast at 7:30 and then
cleaned up the cottages. Next in or
der is wha tthey call work hour from
9 until 10 o’clock. The remainder of
Ihe morning was spent playing games
sjch as volley ball, playground base
ball and swimming. We had dinner at
;2:30.
From one until two o’clock was rest
iiour. Two until four o’clock was
spent playing baseball games. The
lest thing before supper was to go
fishing and swimming.
The daily schedule was carried out
to perfection. We won fourth place
in the event# of . the week against
strong fd^jietitum. There were eight
schools eonnbetij^r in the events and
ihe ones winning places above us had
more boys than we did.
The boys feel at hon^e at this
camp as it is owned by the Y. T. H.
F. organization of North Carolina.
Each local chapter has a part in car
rying out the work of the organiza
tion to make it a better on to be a
member of.
We are looking forward to doing
some outstanding work this year in
(ur local chapter of the Y. T. H. F.
as we have two boys that gained re
cognition at the State meeting of this
organization in June at Raleigh. We
feel proud of our chapter at the pres
ent, but we hope to keep climbing in
the future

Press Praises Talking
Picture Made of Byrd
At The South Pole'
The feature attraction at the Peo
ples Theatre Monday and Tuesday,
August 18 and 19, is the Paramount
picture “With Byrd at the South
Pole,” a screen production of Com
mander Richard Evelyn Byrd’s flight
over the South Pole.
The picture, in sound, presents a
very clear idea of the perils and the
hardships overcome and the unflag
ging courage displayed by Command
er Byrd and his crew. There are some
sharp flashes not to be equaled in
the motion pictures’ recording of ac
tualities. There are human touches,
too, and comic ones.
Here is what the press has to say
about the picture:
“One of the supreme achievements
of the movies.”—New York American.
“The most heartening human docu
ment the camera has ever filmed.”—
New York Telegram.
“Probably the greatest movie ev
er made.” — Editorial, Washington
Star.
“Sets a new mark in picture mak
ing.”—New York Evening World.
“With Byrd at the South Pole,” is
a fast moving, beautifully photo- ;
graphed, admirably edited and ex
cellently titled film of a brave and
worthy adventure, and into the most
powerful sequence—that shows actual
flight above the southern polar re
gions.
The visual record of the feat ac
complished by the American hero and
his intrepid followers is more im
pressive than any volume containing
the printed story. The film is liber
elly besprinkled with the glimpses of
human interest, human drama, an]
pathos, all of which are so essential
to entertainment.

Kangaroo Court
At Halifax Jail
(Special To The Herald)
Opening the Kangaroo Court in Ha
lifax County jail in regards to the two
men Cock Robin and “Bad Eye” John
son, arrested on or about the second
day of August, and who were tried by
W. O. Thompson of Rosemary and
put under $200 and $400 bonds.
Judge Gay called court at 9:30 and
of course the prisoners were present.
Sheriff Hinton Faison received orders
lrom the Judge to bring the prison
ers into court. On examining the pris
oners the Kangaroo solicitor, Lue Fai
son, found them guilty of breaking
and entering Halifax jail without
proper cause.
Long was fined $1 and costs of
court because he could not prove not
guilty of selling Cock Robin home
brew. The $1 was turned over to Ray
mond Acree, treasurer, to buy sugar
r.nd coffee for the other prisoners.
Tant was fined the same but did
not have the money so Judge Gay
sentenced him to the strap. He got 10
down south, 10 out west and 5 across
the Hindenburg line. Solicitor Faison
adjourned court. This is a warning to
boys yet to ome. Beware of the Kan
garoo Court of which K. G. Gay is
Judge and Hinton Faison sheriff.
