Carolina’s Only TABloid NEWSpaper The Roanoke Rapids f erald VOLUME TWENTY ROANOKE RAPIDS, N. C., THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1935 NUMBER FORTY-FIVE -————______I UP AND DOWN WITH THE Tjhe Avenue tff/ilvt 11 APPRECIATION—To the Board of School Trustees I wish to publicly express my sincere appreciation for the tribute paid me in giving to the new school building my name. I accept this honor with a sense of humility and unworthiness. To Mr. Davis, my teachers and co workers, I am grateful for their expressions in my behalf. To my former pupils, pati'ons and friends who have endorsed this act of the Board, I express my thanks for their esteem and good will. To Mr. Wilson, editor of The Herald, I express my appreciation for his tribute, and for the courtesy which included me with “the other teacher” to whom Jast week’s issue of The Herald was dedicated. This honor and these expressions of confidence from my own folks bring responsibility. Though the best years of my life have probably passed, the inspiration that conies from this recognition of past service encourages me to go on. For the remainder of the time which I may be permitted to remain among you I shall try to compensate you to some extent foi this honor which you have so kindly conferred upon me. As I have approached school patrons from time to time they have wanted t( know what my job was. I take this opportunity to define my job in the words of an elementary principal in a sister state: “Some force was needed to hold the school together - to take in supplies, to dis tribute, to receive children, to feed, to clothe, to wash, to bind up, co minister, to heal, to spank, (I have not spanked any one this year!), to praise, to censure, to love into decent living, fine character, and worthy, God-fearing citizenship.” This is my job. I am thankful for it. With your support and confidence I shall continue to try to help the boys and girls of the community to find the true values of life which will fit them for the business of living. May we all work to gether in this great business remembering that “the world marches forward on the feet of little children.”—Clara Hearne. -u FRONT PAGE of the Raleigh Times Monday featured the pictures of Senators J.

Both are bit ter foes of the sales tax and neither will vote for the report, they say. Both have been active in Senate debates this session.”—Since Con gressman Bob Doughton’s decision not to run for Governor, Senator Burrus is being loudly mentioned as the one to run for Governor on an anti-sales tax platform. -o---— DOCTORS from the 4th Medical District, East Carolina, last Thursday met and muddled at Weldon as guests of the Halifax County Medical Society.
