Wake Forest Medical School Wake Forest, Aug. 7. ? The an nouncement Sunday by the trus tees of Wake Forest College of tht acceptance of the benefactions ol the Bowman Gray Foundation, which will result in the removal of the Wake Forest two-year med ical school to the grounds of the Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem and the addition of the two final years of senior clinical medical work, has received widespread ac claim among the alumni and other friends of the college who on every hand have expressed grate ful appreciation. Considerations which led to the acceptance of the offer and some of the benefits to be derived there from have been cited by college officials as follows: The logical relationship of the four-year medical school of Wake Forest, operating in conjunction wit/h the Baptist State Conven tion's hospital at Winston-Salem offers an argument in favor of that location that is overwhelming. It is unique in this area of the South. Such a co-ordination immediately offers for use to the medical school a wonderful opportunity to serve the public. In effect, it adds the hospital to the resources of the denominational effort in medical training and brings to its assist ance the service of the medical school that in years to come will add tremendous prestige both to the college and the hospital The acceptance of the Gray me morial, in effect, amounts to the addition of a much needed science building on the Wake Forest cam pus. The William Amos Johnson Memorial Medical Building, now released, will continue to serve the original purposes of its donors by housing adequately the pre-medi cal sciences. It contains splendid laboratories and classrooms suf ficient for 250 students in the pre medical sciences and in addition will afford an excellent depart mental library, three research rooms, six offices, and six private laboratories for the professors. Guide to Historical Markers on High ways Published A guidebook giving the location of 215 Historical Markers erected along tihe highways of the State, -together with the^yording on each marker, has Just been published by the State Historical Commis sion and the Department of Con servation and Development and copies are now ready for distribu tion. Not) only is this book a guide to all of the places of historical interest in North Carolina which have been marked, but it is also a condensed history of state inso far as it has been transcribed onto these highway markers, Dr. C. C. Cribtenden, Secretary of the State Historical Commission, pointed out. Since only a limited number of these guidebooks have been issued, it will be necessary for those de siring copies to write either to the State .Historical Commission or to trtie Department of Conservation and Development for them, t The booklet is not only expected to be in demand from tourists and stu dents of Jiistory, but from school teachers and others who may de sire a condensed and concise handbook listing the principal places and personages in North Cairolina history. The guidebook lists only the 215 highway markers which had been erected along principal North Carolina highways since the program to mark the principal historic places adjacent to the principal highways was started in 1935. This program has been a triple project! carried on by the State Historical Commission, the Department of Conservation and Development and the State High way and Public Works Commis sion. The Historical Commission has done the research work, as sisted by a committie of historians from the state's leading universi ties and colleges, the Department of Conservation has done the ac tual locating of the markers, while the Highway Department! has supplied the funds for the markers and has done the work at erecting them.

Spent a grand week in New York and stayed at the Hotel St. George, Brooklyn, N. Y. It's con venient to everything and only 25 minutes from the Fair. Ruth and I paid only $1.73 daily each for our breezy double room in their 30-story fireproof Club Tower overlooking the harbor. We enjoyed free: the beautiful salt water swimming pool, sun decks and danced free on their breath-taking Skyline Terrace. You must see The Fair and you must stop at the St George. If you'll write to Jim Kay at the hotel he'll send you a swell road map free. JANE Colored Farm Agent J. E. Tuck, of Person County, j has been selected as Colored Farm | Agent for Franklin County, and entered upon his duties about two i weeks ago. The decision to~??- j operate in securing a colored farm agent to work among the negro farmers in Franklin County was made at a special meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, at the request of a number of Franklin's negro farmers who con vinced the Board they needed the j assistance of such an officer. Tuck comes highly recommend- j ed by the extension department of j the State A. & T. College at Greensboro, and John W. Mitchell, j Negro District Agent, who says of | Tuck as follows: "We have tried j our best to select a well-trained I j Negro for this position in Frank lin County, his name is J. E. Tuck, i He is a North Carolina reared boy | of Person County. He is a grad- j uate of t)he Agricultural Depart ment of A. & T. College. He had a practical background and two years' experience as a vocational j agricultural teacher. He has [ taught for the past two years at | Mary Potter School, Oxford, N. C. [ I am expecting him t'O do a better I job in Franklin County." Our impression drawn from several conversations with him is | ?hat Tuck is qualified and posses- ( ses the necessary common sense [ and personality to make a go of i the work If our people will give him the necessary cooperation, which we are sure they wll. STOCK EXCHANGE ^ EXPOSES FAVORITE SLOGAN OF G 0 P No Republican discourse is | deemed orthodox without an ad- 1 monition (or a return of confi- I dence, a plea for faith. Whether on the radio, in dignified senator ial discourses, or in the more I riotous ranting of Congressmen Dewey Short of Missouri and Ham ilton Fish, the appeal is that the public might again repose "confi dence in business" and in "our .American way of life." But there is scarcely a public or private report of consequence on such important matters as the safety of savings that do not clear ly disclose the existence of this public confidence. Since the Roosevelt Administra tion inaugurated the insurance of hank deposits the number of de positors and the total amount of deposits long ago reached the peak of all time and they are increasing month by month. The aggregate of savings in savings hanks, building and loan associations and kindred thrift Institutions are double those of the flush twenties under Cool idge and Hoover. In 1937 alone, Americans saved a billion and a half more than in the great boom | year of 1929. The reason assign ed by unbiased economists is "res toration of public confidence fol lowing the bank holiday." And now the New York Stock Exchange has announced that "the number of owners of common stock in 50 representative corpor ations studied by the exchange was 3,700,000 lata In 1938, as compared with 1,650,000 in the same corporations In 1929."

BEAM, Agent (20 Years Fire Insurance Writing) 'WAY BACK WHEN I by Jtant * lijTT ' 1 CARL SANDBURG NEVER WOULD SETTLE DOWN HOW many timjs have you heard someone lay, "I don't know what to do about that boy of mine; It looks like he never will settle down"? Carl Sandburg was like that. A boy who skipped from Job to job, and gave his simple Swedish immigrant parents "many a worried hour! He was born In 1878 in Gales burg, 111., of people who were un educated and kindly, simple and poor. Forced by poverty to go to work when he was thirteen, he be gan the seemingly endless series of jobs that gave him such true understanding of the common peo ple. He drove a milk wagon in Gales burg and he blacked boots in a barber shop. If you could have looked into the future and said that some day Carl Sandburg would be a great poet, they would have laughed you out of town! He be came a scene shifter in a cheap theater, a truck handler in a brick yard, and then a turner's apprentice in a pottery shop. - Cheap manual labor, nothing skilled about most if it! He worked as a dish-washer in mid-western hotels, a harvest hand in the Kansas wheat fields, and a carpenter's helper. He begged meals from house-to-house, in ex change for blackening stoves. Hariily a promising boy! Carl Sandburg was learning the painter's trade when the Spanish American war broke out, and he enlisted. A comrade persuaded him to go to Lombard college and he worked his way through as a bell ! ringer, gym janitor and college cor- | respondent for the Galesburg Daily Mail. In college his literary ability j developed and he became editor ot the school publications. After grad uation he supported himself as ad | vertising manager of a department store and sales manager of a buii- ] ness machines firm. He entered politics, became a re porter, and in 1917, Carl Sandburg ! joined the staff of the Chicago Daily I News, where his work has been out standing. A rolling stone, a restless jack-of all-trades has been Carl Sandburg; but from the time of his literarj awakening in college, be has writ ten steadily stories for children, a biography of Lincoln, and hundreds > of poems about the mass of people. So, if that boy of yours is rest less, If he skips from place to place, be patient* Carl Sandburg gained fame by knowing many people, many jobs, many problems. seum or C. S.
