Enchanted Island, Five Acres of Make-Believe Fairyland, Is Big Attraction for Children at Chicago’s World’s Fair HICAGO, April 00.—A five acre land of make-believe where thousands of children may play in a story-book setting while their fathers and mothers are seeing the sights at the 1933 World’s Fair is rapidly taking form on the grounds of A Century of Progress Exposition. It is the Enchanted Island, the official children’s development lo cated on Northerly Island between Lake Michigan and the lagoon, with the Electrical building on the north and the Horticultural building on the south. An enormous wooden soldier, a sailor whose arms revolve with the wind, a wooden Indian, a straw man and the Tin Woodman from the Wizard of Oz, each twenty feet high and painted in gay colors, are among the figures that will greet the eyes of the youngsters as they enter the Enchanted Island. A colossal umbrella 21 feet high and 60 feet in diameter, constructed of steel, plywood and brightly col ored canvas, will rise as the central feature of the main entrance. Three Unusual Features Just outside the main entrance will be three unusual attractions—a mar ble shop, a giant coaster wagon and a toy shop. In the marble shop, children may learn how marbles are made. The front window will be built of two thicknesses of plate glass with bright ly colored marbles between. An enormous marble six feet in diameter, representing a globe with the various oceans and continents, will surmount a vertical pylon at the entrance. Looming next to the marble shop will be a giant red coaster wagon, 35 feet long and 15 feet high, with wheels 9 feet in diameter. A huge figure of a boy will occupy the wagon. A plate glass enclosure will be constructed in the body of the coaster wagon in which assembled coaster wagons will be on sale. Adjoining the wagon will be the toy shop, housing a complete collec tion of mechanical and other types of toys. Some will be on exhibition only, and others will be for sale. Has Model Nursery A model nursery and kindergarten for children from two to six years of age will be housed in a building erected for this purpose. Appropriate forms of educational and recreational activities will be provided both in doors and out. Food will be pre pared by a complete dietitian and will be served attractively. -A zoo and a model farm inhabited only by baby animals will attract many young naturalists. A Magic Mountain, 30 feet high, will rise from the center of a cir cular court. It will be surrounded by water and there will be a bridge and some small boats to reach the mountain. The boats may sail the moat surrounding the mountain, and will be side-wheelers, propelled by boy or girl pow-r. The water is to be only 30 inc ; deep. Three of the many attractions which will be found this year on Enchanted Island, the children’s fairyland at A Century of Progress—Chicago’s 1933 World’s Pair. At the top la Noah’s Ark, to the left the Giant Tin Soldier, and at the bottom, right, is the Giant Bed Coaster Wagon. The Roosevelts Smash Through Hoary precedents of Washing ton have been shattered in 25 ways an as many days by the President and first lady, a United Press checkup revals. It was at the Chicago Democratic convention, to which he flew following the nomination to make his address of acceptance, that Mr. Roosevelt made the statement which then was hardly taken to pressage the breath-taking action which has come: 'Let it be from now on the task of our party to break foolish traditions.” The American people and the world appreiate the carrying out of that resolve as shown in the 2 5 actions listed: 1. Appoints first iwOman to cab inet. 2. Has cabinet sworn in and functioning on first day. 3. Shifts regular cabinet meet ings from forenoons to afternoons. 4. Dedau-es nation-wide Hank holiday and gold embargo. 5. Eats luncheon at desk. 6. Permits direct oral question ing by newspaper correspondents. 7.

Sponsors revolutionary farm relief plan saying frankly he re gards it as an experiment which he is prepared to abandon, if it does not work. 18. Calls his secretaries "Louis,” "Mack,” and "Steve,” abandoning the formal "Mister” of two prede cessors. 19. Lumps eight scattered over lapping loan agencies into one co ordinated body. I 20.

Good Business Rules A man who has a large number of employees under him, says Bind ery Talk, has posted up in the var ious departments of his establish ment cards which bear the above caption and the following rules: 1. Don’t lie; it wastes my time and yours. I’m sure to catch you in the end, and that’s the wrong end. 2. Watch your word, not the clock. A long day’s work makes a long day short, and a short day’s work makes my face long. 3. Give me more than I expect and I’ll pay you more than you ex pect. I can afford to increase your pay if you increase my profits. 4. You owe so much to yourself that you can’t afford to owe any body else. Keep out of debt or out of my" shops. 5. Dishonesty is never an acci dent. Good men, like good women, can’t see temptation when they meet it. 6. Mind your own business and in time you’ll have a business of your own to mind. 7. Don’t do anything here which hurts your self-respect. The em ploye who is willing to steal for me is capable of stealing from me. 8. It is none of my business what you do at night. But if dissipation affects what you do the next day, j and' ycu do half as much as I ex pect you will last half as long as you hoped. 9. Don’t tell me what I’d bke to hear but what I ought to heap. I don’t want a valet to my vanity, but I need one for my dollars. 10. Don’t kick if I kick. If you’re worth while correcting you’re worth while keeping. I don’t waste time cutting specks out of rotten apples. Advertise in The Watchman—it pays. How Long Do You Expect to Live? Science Has Figured Exactly How Long You May Expect to.

MARTIN FOR COUNCILMAN HONORABLE CITIZENS:' I present myself as a candidate for City Councilman. As I am busy and you are busy, it is im possible to ask each one of you personally for your support and so I take this means of asking you to support me if you favor the fol lowing things that I favor: (1) The first thing I am in favor of is to cut our tax rate in half and more if possible. \£.) juo cut street assessments down to keep from selling our people out of their homes. I per sonally know some contractors who paid as high as 20 per cent to bankers to finance the paving jobs. A lot of people signed the petitions and were not charged any assessments so as to get a majority of signatures in order that a particular paving district :ould be paved. I am in favor of repudiating every one of the as sessments bonds, which are held by banks and bankers who are bursted like the banks around us ind are offering to pay their de positors only 5 per cent to. 20 per :ent on the dollar. Everyone knows that Salisbury is worse off than most of these banks. While sve are having reconstruction all aver the world we should cancel ill of these papers and refinance 1 the town over a period of some . >0 years so it would! not keep all nanufacturing industries out of it m account of being taxed to leath. It would not keep a man, vho owns his home, working night ind day to try to pay off some :ning ne naa nothing to do with jutting on him but was done by a ot of selfish politicians, most of vhom owned no property in the :ity. When they got their rake-off ' :hey did not care how the taxpay :rs would get along with the load. (3) I am in favor of all City Ilouncilmen and Mayor working vithout any salary during this de pressed time. Men who cannot pare enough time and serve their :ity free of charge should not be dec ted as every penny spent un tecessarily is working a hardship in the taxpayers. (4) I am in favor of running he town on an economical basis he same as other industries. The axpayers money should be as sacr :d as our own money, but of course politicians have become like a good ■nany of our hig bankers and as ong as the public Will stand for :hem to spend the money for any :hing they wish they will continue to do so. I pledge myself, if you give vour support and I am elected, to do all in my power to carry out the above. Our city should be the largest city in North Carolina, but on account of cheap politicians and high tax rates all industries have gone to other towns and we people who have our investments in our town cannot get away and we have to be dictated to by people, most of whom do not own any proper ty at all. Very truly yours. W. F. McCANLESS. TO THE VOTERS OF SALIS BURY I hereby announce my candidacy for the office of councilman of the city of Salisbury, subject to the action of the Democratic Primary to be held April 24th, 1933. I sincerely hope that, whether or lot I am elected, the forthcoming touncil will be actuated by a feel ing of Christian fellowship, feel ing as I do that, in these trying times, all citizens should pull to gether for our mutual welfare and, more than ever, remember and practice the Golden Rule of tol erance and forbearance. After 40 years residence in this city, eight of which have been spent as a member of the former Board of Aldermen, I am proud to say that I can call every resident my friend and that my election, or defeat, will in no way alter this re lationship. _—J.
