Many Industries Attracted By N. C. Resources \ --- , - . . i - .1 . ■■■■ ..... , _______ _________ ■ WIDE RANGE OF RAW MATERIALS ARE FOUND HERE State Offers Exceptional Opportunity For Profit able Use Of All Its Ad vantages. The belief that North Carolina will continue to attract industry and oth er business activity, just as the State has done in the past, is voiced by Reu ben Robertson, president of the Cham pion Fibre Company at Canton. Mr. Robertson reviewed the state’s fundamental advantages to industry, pointing out that North Carolina has been endowed by nature with a wide range of raw materials suited for in dustry, has splendid agricultural re r/Mivr,/sc llannrlint o n bor, ideal climatic conditions, and "offers exceptional opportunity for co-ordinated and profitable utilization of all its advantages. "We have,” Mr. Robertson said, "a great number of hydro-electric plants which have been developed along the most modern and efficient lines and which are for that reason enabled to quote prices for power that are most attractive to industry. "The efficiency and co-operative spirit of the working men of the state are so well known as hardly to need comment. Certainly this is one of the state’s greatest industrial assets. "The state’s wide diversity of cli matic conditions permits us to offer most anv variety, ranvinv from the semi-tropical of the southern coastal plan to the cooler climates of the mountain comparable to that of the New England states. We know that climate conditions often determine plant location. "From the manufacturers’ stand point the fact that the state as a whole is rural in character and has no very large cities, and towns of modest size, is one of importance as it means that labor is broadly distributed and read ily available in almost any location where the other essential requirements of an enterprise are found.” Mr. Robertson pointed out that there is a close relation between the state’s industry and -the state’s farm ing activity. "The farmer,” he said, “by reason of proximity of his industrial groups finds a steady and satisfactory market for his surplus foodstuffs. "Successful industry and successful agriculture each react on the other and on the whole commercial com munity and all react on the funda mental resource wnicn ail must use— that is, land, itself. "In these days we must constantly remind ourselves of the difference be tween prices and values. Prices are transient. Values are permanent in character. Today’s prices on land and on many essential commodities are far too low unless we are prepared to say that the world’s activities always will remain subnormal. I cannot for one moment subscribe to that thought. "Land and other basic necessities properly selected are worth buying at today’s prices and holding for the in evitable better times ahead:” JACK THOMAS IS TAKEN Jack Thomas, 25, Chatham coun ty man accused of doing the shooting in which Ashby Penn, university stu dent from Reidsville, was seriously in jured near Chapel Hill, March 31, was arrested Friday in New York. Elwood Johnson and Lawrence Armstrong were already in custody as members of the party. Robert G. Thompson, former police chief at Mt. Holly, is still sought as the fourth man. Penn was shot as an officer attempted ar rest of the four for a Chapel Hill robbery. Queerest People On Earth Seen In "Freaks,” Here Monday-Tuesday A strange plot of mystery, love and retribution in a circus sideshow; fan tastic people and situations that would do credit to the bizarre mind of an Edgar Allan Poe; and an amazing ro mance among a people apart from the rest of humanity, figure in "Freaks,” which will be the attraction starting Monday at the Victory Theatre for a two day run. Its principal actors include the queerest people ever assembled, freaks who have never been seen on the screen before, such as the man with half a torso, the Armless Wonder, the Living Skeleton, Siamese Twins and the fantastic Pin Head people. These odd monstrosities play roles in support of a well-known film cast which in cludes Wallace Ford, Leila Hyams, Ol ga Baclanova, Rosco Ates, Henry Vic tor and Harry Earles, the midget who scorned in "The Unholy Three.” The picture, based on Tod Robbins’ story, "Spurs,” and directed by Tod Browning, of "Dracula” fame, cen ters on the crafty scheme of a trap eze performer to poison her husband, a midget, whom she has married sole ly for his money. Sheris aided in the dastardly plan by her lover who is the Strong Man in the sideshow. The pair, however, overlooked the strange bond that unites the freaks and when the plot is discovered, they become the victims of a horrible revenge. Under lying the story is the appealing ro mance of Wallace Ford and Leila Hy ams as the respective clown and seal trainer of the troupe. Look For Locusts During Late May North Carolina’s best known brood of 17-year locusts will begin to em erge from the homes they have made in the soil since 1915 and will adver tise their presence by an awful din. in the forest trees of the State in late May or early June. Dr. Z. P. Metcalf, head of the de partment of entomology and zoology at State College, says the locusts which will emerge this year are from eggs that were laid in the limbs of trees back in 1915. The eggs hatched into tiny grubs about 1-16 of an inch long and these crawled into the soil through small crevices where the grubs attached themselves to the roots. The small beaks were forced into the bark to suck sap from the living trees. Here these grubs have been living and developing for about 17 years. Their wings are now full grown and they are awaiting the coming of warm weather when they will em erge in countless thousands. ST.
