,C. E. Mclntosh Appointed To
Head WPA Youth Program
Explains Plan by Which
- N. C. Youth Will Be
Benefitted
Raleigh, N. C.—State Works Pro
gress Administration Aministrator,
George W. Coan, Jr., has appointed
Mr. C. E. Mclntosh of Chapel Hill,
St&te Director of Education. Mr.
-Mclntosh also directs the National
Youth Administration for North
Carolina.
>' Mr. Mclntosh is weii-known to
North Carolinians as an educator
and as a former assistant dean at
the State University. He has devot
ed many years to the study of the
- problems of youth, particularly those
dealing with education. He is well
equipped in every way for this new
work which is such a vital and im
portant part of the Works Progress
Administration program for North
Carolina.
He expressed the hope that the
youth of North Carolina would take
full advantage of every opportunity
offered. All North Carolina Educa
tional Institutions of college level
operated on a non-profit basis may
select 12 percent of their 1934 en
rollment to share isl Federal Aid of
fered. No applicant will receive aid
>who is financially able to secure his
or her education without help. Only
those who would otherwise be unable
%> attend, will be helped. The
amount of aid that may be secured
is adjusted to the individual case. It
is expected that the average month
ly amount allowed will not exceed
sl2-00 to $15.00. A maximum month
ly allowance slightly in excess oi
this amount is available in very ex
treme and deserving cases. The aid
given students is not a loan but is
a direct grant, and is made in return
for specific duties to be outlined by
the college authorities and perform
ed by the student seeking aid. Mr.
Mclntosh called especial attention to
> the fact that all students seeking aid
’ should apply direct to the institution
they elect to enter and not to his of
fice. Only those students with good
and qualifications will re
ceive help, and they will be expected
maintain the high standard sfet
heretofore by students receiving
Federal Aid.
High School boys and girls are also
offered assistance by this Adminis
tration. Children between sixteen
and twenty-five years of age whose
parents were on the May 1935 Re
lief Rolls are eligible for aid. Seven
per cent of those enrolled who show
promise and a desire to continue
their education may receive Federal
aid up to an amount not to exceed
$6.00 per month. It was pointed out
that the school superintendent was
• the person to whom application for
aid should be made.
Mr. Mclntosh also states that the
Works Progress Administration hopes
to employ 12 or 15 hundred teachers
from Relief Rolls this winter. He
explained that they would be paid
the security wage, and would be used
largely in teaching adults. Reading,
writing, arithmetic and other studies
would be taken up by these adult
cIdSS6S.
The importance of all educators,
and others interested, acquainting
themselves with the program was
stressed. If the youth of North Car
olina is to receive the full benefits
this great Works Progress Admin
istration Program they must have
full information and directions as to
how to proceed in their efforts to se
cure aid. Mr. Mclntosh pledged full
ind complete cooperation of himself
and his staff in assisting the youth
of North Carolina to secure this Fed
yal aid in continuing and completing
[Quinn Store An Asset
f To Business Section
Greatly adding to the appearance
of the Edenton business section, the
Quinn Furniture Company in Janu
ary, 1925, moved into a brand new
three-story brick building on Broad
street which is used in its entirety
for the storing and displaying of fur
niture. This company has rapidly
•expanded until at present a fleet of
trucks is necessary to deliver goods
all over Chowan, Bertie, Gates and
Perquimans counties. A corps of
salesmen also cover the territory

This store is owned by J. H. Wil
kins of Elizabeth City and his broth
er, W. M- Wilkins, the latter acting
as manager of the store. The mana
ger a number of years ago also en
tered the undertaking and embalming
business, which is conducted in con
xifection with the furniture store. Like
the regular business, this feature has
grown by leaps and bounds.
The concern carries anything In
the line of furniture that could be ,
desired and a welcome awaits any |
prospective customer to inspect the I
stock on hand. They desire to please
their customers and if a wanted
Jtem happens not to be in stock, they i
can get it. The Quinn company also
operated the Albemarle Burial As
sociation with something like 1000
members.

N. C. State Grid Stars
Mentioned In Stars Os
1935 By Wilton Hazzard
College Station—lt is seldom a
sophomore gets a write-up in the
“Illustrated Football Annual,” but
Cowboy Robinson, the N. C. State
College triple-threat halfback, is
given six paragraphs by Wilton Haz
zard in his place “The Stars of 1935”
written for the Annual.
Mr. Hazzard writes:
‘Why, you may ask, does Heartly
Anderson (Rockne’s beloved Hunk) go
around with a look on his face like
nothing so much as that of a kitten
which has got into the cream bottle?
“The answer is Cowboy Robinson.
“They call him ‘Cowboy’ because
he hails from the plains adjacent to
Wallace, Idaho, and he will admit in
picturesque western lingo that he
‘has rode the range.’ He came to
Dixie byway of Notre Dame where
he was a freshman the last year An
derson coached there.
“Robinson is proclaimed by many
who saw his exploits last spring, the
finest back of all time in the broad
state of North Carolina. There was
a big and strong squad on hand, and
plenty of resistance was offered, but
in each of the six test games which
concluded the week’s practice, Robin
son ran through his opposition for
touchdown after touchdown.
“He weighs 190, is a fairly consis
tent 10-second sprinter, and has a
photographic eye that lays out for
him the touchdown course through
the scattered defensive elements of
a gridiron.”
Other N. C. State stars in Mr.
Hazzard’s list of candidates who are
predicted to have a chance for all
American honors includes Captain
Barnes Worth, right guard: Steve
Sabol, brilliant center; Eddie Berlin
ski, the right halfback who Grant
land Rice said would be an all Ameri
can before finishing college; Ren
Hoek, battering fullback, E. V. Helms
