MARCH 16, 1033 BROTHER OF BOONE WOMAN IS SUICIDE | Bob Will* Ends Life With Shot from i Revolver on F?rm Hear mounialu City. Funeral Tuesday. Had Beon is Wyoming 23 Year*. Rober: Wills, 50 years eld, prominent farmer and cattleman of Johnson County, died at his home at Yaughtsville Saturday afternoon, two hours after he had sent a bullet from a .38 calibre revolver into his forct Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon and interment was in :he community cemetery. Among: the survivor^ is Mrs. Geo. C. Winkler of Boone. A widow also survives. Several friends of the family in this community attended the rites. ?Mr. Wills, who had never been ill, was recently told by a physician that he was suffering with high blood pressure, and this condition is believed to have prompted his? self-destruction. He had been known to state that he "would never die a sick man," and it is thought that the suicidal mania came from worry over the likelihood of giving up his outdoor activities. The fatal shot was fired in a log out-building on the Wills farm. Mr. Wills had made his home in Wyoming: for he past 2-3- years and returned to Johnson County about a year ago where he purchased a large farm, which he was engaged in rapidly improving. He was well known throughout this section of North Carolina and had a wide circle of friends. Facts About Our Schools By GUY H. HILL STEPS FOR BETTERMENT On Thursday, Friday and Saturday t of last week there was held in the gymnasium of Appalachian State ( Teachers College a basket ball tournament in which seventeen teams participated. The objectives of this tournament were to create a better feeling among the hoys from the different high schools who participated toward the college and toward each other; to emphasize good sportsmanI ship; and through good sportsman" ship to exercise good citizenship. It fell to the tot of the local high | school to entertain these visiting lioys t in their homes and this they did nobly. About twenty-five or thirty of J the local boys and girls furnished meals and lodging for the visitors for the three days. For this unselfish and hospitable service the high school is remunerated the sum of 5100.00 which will go to the upbuilding of the library. For this service also friendships have been made which will be permanent and cherished through the years. For this service aiso Boone High School boys and girls will he remembered and praised because they did a real needed serv1 ice to their school. It is of this kind of stuff that schools arc made great. On Monday of this week steps were taken between Mr. Hamby. the local picture show manager, and the Parent-Teacher Association to arrange for a weekly show for school children. The gist of the committee J|t>- meeting may be understood from the [ V following resolutions: I . Whereas, we -the narents ; t n ft tench jk? ers of the Boone Parent-Teacher As; sociation recognize the talking picJ J? t'jre theatre as a powerful educative factor in our town, and Wheresa, we are vitally intereatBB ed in having the beat possible edu&& cation for our children, and flw Whereas, we believe the managers of our picture show are in accord MH with our educational aims, UH Be it resolved, therefore, first that MB wo the parents and teachers of ifg Boone offer our services to the theatre managers* by suggesting that Monday morning -of each week at 10 o'clock be sea aside and designated as "Children's Hour," and that a show be given at this hour specially selected and priced for the chilJfflfc <dren. Secondly, that we offer our services to the theatre management in .an advisory capacity for the purpose of aiding in the selection of the proptttt rer iype of pictures for our children. The management of the theatre most heartily welcomed the suggestions, and steps were taken to put the resolutions into working order as soon as plans can be worked out. More will be said about the workings of this committee at a later date. tThe experience of this year has proved that Boone High School needs some equipment for feeding its cafeteria patrons for next year. Rooms I and benches have been improvised to take care of the needs this year, but I. there should be some plan employed whereby we can train our children how to eat properly as well as what J to eat. Our present set -up is not conducive to this type of training. Furthermore, our health education has suffered because a lack of some place in which to carry it out.
