OIL INDUSTRY IN
THE STATE GROWS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 —Automo
tive, petroleum, and other indus
tries connected with highway trans
portation provide jobs and wages
for one out of every six persons em
ployed in North Carolina’s whole
sale. retail, and service establish
ments, according to the census bu
reau.
Other facts about trade and em
ployment in North Carolina are re
vealed in an analysis of these fig
ures, as follows:
Approximately one out of every
five wholesale, retail and service i
establishments In the state, or a
t otal of 8,811 out of 39,952 such es-!
tablishrr.ents, depends upon the au
tomotive, pertoleum and allied trades
for its existence.
Those trades, according to the
preliminary 1935 figures just re
leased. account for 22 1 per cent of
the total payroll of North Carolina's
wholesale, retail and service estab
lishments, or $14,747,000 out Of $70,
198.000.
These figures outline for the first
time the current contribution of
the automotive transportation trades
to Ncrth Carolina’s economic wel
fare.
They show that purchases by the
motoring public keep every fifth
business house or service establish
ment in North Carolina from clos
ing its doors, save every sixth per
son In the state’s wholesale, retail
and service trades from unemploy
ment. and prevent almost one-fifth
cf the business payroll from drying
up.

Have Children First And !
Then Start Your Career
NEW irOKK, Dec. 8.—(JP)—Have
your children first, then your ca
reer, Vina Bovy, beautiful new
singer at the Metropolitan opera
advised women artists today.
The golden-haired Belgian sop- j
rano. who will make her debut at
the “Met" this season, stopped
playing with her 5 year old son.,
Umberto, and his toy train to say:'
"The first and most Important
thing is the family.
"A steady life, and happiness in
the home are a blessing for an ar- j
tlst. Jt is not true that an artist
must be mad.
"After having her children, a;
woman can devote herself to herj
art with concentration and go on
with her career without interrup
tion.”
Dward Johnson, of the Metropo-1
litan, offered Miss Bovy a contract
last spring in Paris. The wife of
Norberto Fischer, an Italian Army |
officer, she has sung in opera all
over Europe. In London, her voice
was compared to Merlbn's.
She is calm about her coming
American debut, and loves New
York, which she says “is a cood cli
mate for the baby."
Her one concern is that she
speaks very little English and has
to converse in French and Italian.
Her flaxen-haired son has the
same limitation, and is worried
about telling an American Santa
Claus, that he Wants for' Christmas
“Un Grand Train.”
The singer’s "steady life” begins
daily at 6 a m. After breakfast she
rehearses opera, then plays with
her son and takes him to the park.
She supervises her own house
hold, often cooks spaghetti for din
ner herself, and is in bed by 9 p.m.
Rare Operation
To Salvage Hand
GREENVILE. 8. C„ Dec. 8.—

surgeons restored to Dewey Wright
a good portion of a crushed hand.
On Sept 21 Wright, a 32 year old
textile worker, fell beneath a train
and his left hand was shattered
There was little left but bone.
The surgeons, who declined to
permit their names to be published,
made a vertical incision six inches
long in Wright’s abdomen about a
quarter of an inch deep for four
inches.
They inserted the left hand in
the wound. Wright's arm and body
were placed in a cast, and the doc
tors stood back to await results fob
two weeks.
The cast was taken off. They
freed Wright's hand from the ab
dominal encasement. Then, from
Wright's hip. the surgeons transfer
red bits of flesh to the palm of his
hand.
The physicians said that soon
Wright would have use of his hand,
minus only three fingers in which
the bone was beyond repair.
Clay products valued at $8,970,
000 were produced in the United
States last year.
