1 PLANFREE TEXTBOOKS (Special to The Herald) Raleigh, Feb. 2.—Free textbooks for the elementary school children, purchased but not printed by the State, and adopted over a period of four years, so as not to make the cost excessive, is recommeded by the School Book Commission named by former Governor Gardner under a resolution of the 1931 Legisla ture, to make a study of the school book situation and report to the State Board of Education. State Supt. A. T. Allen is chaiman; Supt. H. M. Roland, of the Burl ington schools, is secretary; Supt. E. E. Sams, Lenoir County schools; Cale K. Burgess and Robert G. Lassiter, Raleigh, and Julian S. Miller, Charlotte, compose the committee which made its 70-odd page report Friday. The commission recommends adoption of free books in grades 1, 2, and 3 the first year; grades 4 and 5 the second year; grade 6 the third and grade 7 the fourth year, by which it estimates the cost will be approximately $500,000 a year.

You Wouldn’t Think of Buying “A PIG POKE No Intelligent Person Would Without Looking In the “Poke!” It Would Be “Bad Business!” Of course we have pigs . . . and we have “pokes,” tho it has been several years since we’ve heard one called that, but the old adage about “The Pig in the Poke” still clings. A more modern version would be “A Pig Wrapped in Cellophane.” You could at least SEE THE PIG! And that is just what we are getting at. SEE the groceries you buy! KNOW the quality you are getting! Don’t put on “rose colored glasses” when you are looking at price tags either. Trade at the “M” where price, quality and service is RIGHT!
