could be termed ‘‘For Value Re

He said that there were three
things that contributed to high

possible, sacrifice on the part of
parents, work and training by
school teachers and the fact that
the graduates are the inheritors

Dr. Milner stated that he

four suggestions to the gradu

1. For values received I shall
walk out and work harder for my

2. I shall so live that every

McCoy, Commantor of Wilkes
County Post of the American Le
gion, in a statement today- urg
ing all veterans to give fullest
support to the Poppy Day ob
servance.
"Men who served in France
have an indelible picture of the
poppies in their minds, closely
associated with the memory of
their comrades whom they left
overseas,” the Commander said.
“Soon after the American Legion
was organized the poppy was
adopted as its memorial flower
and the custom adopted of wear
ing the flower on the Saturday
before Memorial Day in tribute
to the war dead.
“The distribution of the pop-
piss on Poppy Day was placed by
the Legion in the hands of those
loyal, patriotic women who com
pose the American Legion Auxil
iary. Through their volunteer ef
forts they recall for all America
the inspiring services of the
men who died in the poppy fleck
ed fields of France and Belgium.
They also raise funds for the
Legion and Auxiliary welfare
work among those who were not
called upon to die, but to sacri
fice strength and health in the
nation’s defense, the disabled
veterans, and for the families of
the dead and disabled.
“The message of th© poppy la
’Honor the dead and serve the
living,’ for each wearer of the
memorial flower raakea eome

ing victims. Every Legionnaire,
of course, every veteran and
every patriotic citizen should
have a poppy in his button hole

General assembly adjourned in
Raleigh Saturday subject to call
for a special session, which is
considered quite likely by politi
cal and economic observers.
The question which gained the
spotlight was whether or not
sale and possession of liquor
would be legalized in North Car
olina and the disposal of the is
sue by the general assembly is
considered as unsatisfactory to
the wets as to the drya.
Several measures dealing with
state-wide legalization of liquor
were killed and in the last days
of the more or less hectic session
local bills were passed allowing
17 counties, most of ^hich He in
eastern Carolina, to have refer-
endums on the question of liquor
stores.
The revenue hill providing a
three per cent sales tax was fin
ally passed but is estimated to
raise less money than appropri
ations call for. The sales tax law
is very similar to the one now in
force except for the tact that
no exemptions will be allowed
on sale of staple foods, with the
single exception of milk.
Schools and practically ail de
partments of the state govern

priations and provisions are
made for substantial increases in
all state salaries, including a 20
