A $100,000 GIFT
j Raleigh:? -A gift of >100.000
from the Z. Smith Rynolds Foun
dation. Inc.. for the war 011 sy
* phiiis in North Carolina has been
announced. It will be administer
ed tihrough the North Carolina
State Board of Health. Dr. Carl
V. Reynolds. State Health Officer,
exprssing his appreciation of what
he terms "this magnificent phil
anthropy." has issued a statement,
in which he not ouly tills how
grateful the forces at work for
public health are, but gives a pic
ture of the present situation with
regard to the ravages of the
"great killer." He also tolls how
a great dream of service has come
true.
Dr. Reynolds said:
"This magnificent philanthropy,
for which I express, I am sure,
the deep gratitude of the entire
population of North Carolina, will
bring to a realization one of the
^ fondest dreams of tue State
Board of Health, in thati it Will
enable us to accomplish, in the
comparatively near future, some
of the objectives that have seem
ed years, oft.
"Long before government be
gan to realize its responsibility in
the prevention of disease and the
preservation of the health of its
citizens, as a means of bringing
about better social and economic
conditions and in the promotion
of human happiness and prosper
ity, philanthropists led the way.
"Time will permit a discussion 1
here of the debt of gratitude we
owe these benefactors but can
never repay. Nor can we pay just
tribute to medical science for its
unselfish, self-sacrificing, pains
taking resarch that led to the
discovery of means for the pre
vention and cure of diseases.
Medical science has developed far
in advance of society's willingness
or ability to receive all its find
ings. This is due in part to ignor
ance, indifference, buii to a great
e'r extent to inability to meet the
expense. *
"This money, which is' to be -
made available to our people, to
be used in connection with other
funds allotted to the State Board
of Health, will enable us to seo
up a very definite program in the
war on syphilis. It will enable us
to incrase our facilities for fight
ing this great enemy. A campaign
of eradication takes .more than
the _ knowledge that we have
found the cause, the prevention
and the cure of syphilis. It takes
a well-organized, qualified organ
ization, with the enthusiasm and
the determination to do a good
job. It takes the support and the
cooperation- of our people. We
have the support of the medical
profession. Finally, we must have
the financial support."
That quite a bit of activity has
been given this campaign- in
Franklin County is evidenced in
the statement" of Dr. R. F. Yar
borough, County Health Officer
that "he has had warrants issued
for twenty or more who refused
treatment." He was glad to add
that in no case has he had to
prosecute any of these as they
promptly reported and received
treatment.

. h
NEW YORK (Special).? It has
remained for an amateur chemist
in pursuit of a hobby in the clut
tered cellar of his countryside
home not far from New York
City to put a happy end to the
long search for an adhesive to
fasten sheets of metal enduringly
to wall surfaces.
The hunt was begun by one of
the largest copper and brass cor
porations in this country when
several professional chemists had
Jailed to discover the desired
glue. Appeal was at last made to
the suburban amateur with the
cellar laboratory ? and he pro
duced it ,
He is Benjamin K. Albrecht,
one-time sandpaper salesman.
His home is on tne outskirts of
Rowayton, Conn. Mr. Alb?echt
was requested to contrive the
glue in order that the plaster
walls of the Board of jQinector's
room in the Administration
Building of the New York World's
Fair of 1939, at Flushing Meadow
Park, New York City, might be
covered with squares of paper
thin copper.
As the adhesive was found to
do its work perfectly, 2,500 sheets
of the metal, each three one
thousandths of an inch thick, 1?
inches long by nine and three
quarters wide, were attached ti
the walls of the chamber so se
curely they have become liter
ally part of th? surface.
When Mr. Albrecht was asked
whether he intended to patent his
glue, he replied: ' No, because nc
chemist can discover by analysis
what is in it. Some of the ingre
dients vaporize before they can
be detected." The picture shows
him inspecting a surface upon
which he has pasted a copper
sheet.
SINCLAIR HOLDS
COURT AS 'J. P.' I
Su|K'i'ior Court Jurist Orders
Louisburg Man Held oil As
sault Charges
For an hour yesterday. Super-!
ior Court Judge X. A' Sinclair ac-i
ted the role of a plain justice of'
&he peace. He sat as a committing
magistrate in a case from Louis
burg and. incidentally made a rul
ing on a legal point upon which 1
leading attorneys of Franklin j
County could find no precedent }
in the bookfc.
The case was State vs. William
T. "Smiley" King, accused of an
assault on C. Arthur Ragland. Jr., 1
with intent tio kill. Judge Sinclair
concluded the hearing by finding !
"probable cause" and ordering
King held under $1,000 bond fori
trial at the next term of Frank- i
lin Superior Court.
Rules He's Eligible
At the outset. Defense Lawyers'
E. H. Malone and E. F. Griffin
entered a plea of abatements con- !
tending thai Judge Sinclair had \
no authority to hear the case out-i
side Franklin County. The ques
tion of venue was defended, by
W. H. Yarborough and W. L. j
Lumpkin, representing Hagland.
After hearing arguments which
consumed more time than did the,
actual trial to follow. Judge Sin-j
clair ruled that he cpuld hear the |
case anywhere he wished, inas-;
much as hfe had issued the bench |
warrant under which King was
arrested after the case had been
nol prossed in a lower court. Ex
ceptions were noted and the trial
started.
Ragland related how, on the
afternoon of November 27, he re
turned from a football game, went
to James King's filling" station
across the street from, his home
and promptly became involved In
an argument over respective mer
its of football as played by Duke
and Pitt. He was arguing with
James King.
Finally, said Ragland, King or
dered him from the place and he
got up to leave, whereupon King's
brother, "Smiley," set upon him
with a knife, severely slashing
his throat and cutting his over
coat in the back as he hurried
out the door. Outside, he declar
ed, James drew a pistol on him
but didn't fire.
On cross-examination, Ragland
admitted he had been involved in
a number of fist fights in and
ttround Louisburg, but had never
been convicted of any offense ex
cept speeding. King ofTered no
evidence. ? News-Observer. Dec.

by REV. CHARLES F. DL'NX
Christian Consecratdon. '
Lesson for December 26th.
Phil. 1:12-26.
Golden Text: Phil. 1:21.
The need for a fresh consecra
tion to t^e Christian ethic and
ideal is very real. There are 10,-i
06 0 villages in America without
churches, 30.000 without resident
pastors, and 30.400,000 children
under twelve who are feceiving
no training is t>he disciplines of
religious faitn and practice. More
over hostile forces are now at
work in an attempt to defeat the
Christian program. "We are no
longer confronted," writes Dean
Sperry, of Harvard, "with old, dy
ing religions in the Oriejit; '? we
are faced by new and powerful
religions of political and racial
nature. Furthermore, within
Christendom itself, we are now
confronted by organized and fully
self-conscious theories of race,,
class, and state which are candid
ly anti-Christian."
In the face of this critical need
and stubborn hostility convention
al Christianity has a hard fight
indeed. There are too many nom
inal church members who live in
a state of "faded religiosity," pay
ing verbal honors only to their
Master. They want comfort rather
than a call to arms. They are full
of good yill| but t-hey play safe
on all conTroversial issues. They
rarely move eutside the pleasant
circle of their particular social
group. They have no convictions
for which they would make a
genuine sacrifice.
Over against this soft, lazy, im
mature type .of faith one thinks of
t-'.ie blazing passion of the apostle,
Paul, as voiced in the inspiring
kpasaage chosen for our lesson.
Confined in a filthy jail, and
knowing that he would some day
be put to death for his loyalty to
Chrisf, he could yet say, in the
spirit of exaltation, the noble
words of our Golden Text), "To
live is Christ, and to die is gain."
It is high time that Christians
everywhere, under the spell- of
Paul's thrilling example, close the
doors on their, 4onbts, pull off
their coats and earnestly set t<o
work that the mind of Christ may
prevail in these- - dark days of
turmoil and spiritual decay.

of Congress. Legislative proposals
are scanned more closely. Evi- 1
dence of this is found in t-he care- j
ful attention given to the Farm i
Bill. The fact that it required
more than thirty days to pass this
legislation indicates the compre
hensive way in which it was stu

These things alone should stim?
ulate new confidence. It is much
needed. Lack of confidence is hol
ding back economic progress. It
is retarding employment and
there is every reason to believe
that once the Congress charts its
