"What lies ahead for the South? There are definite signs that even now point the way to new and expanding fields of de- relopment. Again it appears that palp manufacture — newsprint from Southern pine, and sulphate pulp for the region’s $200,000,- OOO rayon industry—will be the explosive spark to set off new advance." Devslopment of these flrfds is zooi not only for. the Sooth, but for the economic life of the whole natipn. In fact, as serts Mr. Preyer.

Ai, Jo Meet Thursday The Mountain at View •^iicher AMOctatlon will meet Zu, Kbool auditorium ^ed- ^ay night. T«nuarv 22, 7:30. State law requires that would- be couples submit to a blood test before obtaining marriage li- t-enses—but what if the doctor is unable to obtain the blood? John H. McAdoo. Guilford county register of deeds, was pondering over this question yes terday when he received a report from a High Point physician that blood Fascinating, tantalizing, and dangernus, Bette Davia continnes to hold the sp^light as the screen’s top dramatic actress, as evidenced by her virtuoso performance in 'The Letter," showing Thursday and Friday at The Allen Theatre. New Bette Davis Film Has Plenty Of Dramatic Action In those circles where such tbinga are discussed, Bette DayJs would he known as a “repea.ter,’* The only thing she hasn’t learnt is hO'W to stay out of jail, and Im portant cities all over the world can boast of having thrown the famed actress into the clink' at one time or another. Miss Davis, cinematlcally speaking, never seems to benefit from these unpleasant experi ences so tar as regeneration Is concerned. According to the box office receipts that attend her every fall from grace, her anti social conduct is deeply appre ciated. At the present moment Miss Davis is undergoing another in- vfptiigation by the minions of law and order, this time in Sing apore. This legal grilling is for scenes in "The Letter,’’ the pic ture opening Thursday at The Alien in which Miss Davis stars, with Herbert Marshall and James Stephenson at Warner Bros. In the drama based on Somerset Maugham’s famous play, she will spend her usual time in the jail house until she is acquitted. As mentioned before, this run- in with the law bold.s no novelty for the errant Miss Davis. It was not so very long ago that she was lodged in the Conciergerie in Paris until the authorities decid ed what to do with her. Be It saiu in Mi.ss Davis' favor, how ever. that in “All This and Heav en. Too,” in which Charles Boyer was the cause of so much of her trouble, she was merely the vic tim of circumstances beyong her control, as they say in the court room, but it serves to illustrate .Miss Davis’ unflagging afflnit® for the police of all nations. The fact that she is acquitted in "The Ijetter" does not mean that she is innocent. It’s just the Davis wiles that obtain for her a brief respite until justice, as it must to all men. catches up.

Caroon, who resigned to take the position of secretary and manager of the credit divis ion of Insurance Service and Credit Corporation, a new com pany formed here by several prominent business men. In the directors meeting a res olution commending the services of Mr. Caroon and stating their regret at his leaving the institu tion, was passed by the directors. Mr. Caroon came to North Wll kesboro from Smithfield, where he held an executive position with the First Citizens Bank and Trust company. He aided in organiza tion of the Northwestern Bank when it was formed as a mer ger of the Deposit and Savings Bank here with banks at Sparta, Boone, Bakersville, Blowing Rock and Burnsville. Since that time branches have been added at Tay lorsville, Jefferson and Valdeee. A number of minor ’shifts In personnel of the branches have been or will be made. & Uafelt'ji^ A^.; our Pniiiinm Planning vaMi^ ings last fall, the farmers /Oftt;. the county said tHat we needed. to increaee our acreage by 10,000 acres in 1941, and that some the fanners needed help ting seed. With this, in mind, the Connty Agent and Chief Clerk worked up a plan which will enable all farm ers who need H, to get the seed at market price without the cash. A local dealer agreei^ to furnish the corn yield from 10 per cent to 50 per cent where a good growth is made and turned under. Thirty pounds per acre should the seed to the farmers and wait a year for his money, which will be deducted from the fanners check under the AAA Program. Under this plan we have requests for 40,000 pounds of seed and or ders for 31,000 pounds of seed. Masonic Night and Birthday of Local O.E.S.
