Hayworth Buys First Airplane For This .Vicinity Time was that the purchase of a new automobile was news—but times have changed and now little about automobiles is news except the wrecks and sometimes radical changes in models. But the airplane industry isn’t so far advanced that the private purchase of a plane isn’t news. First airplane purchase for Ashe boro is that by Dr. C. .A. Hayworth of an American Eagle bi-plane, pow ered with 225 horsepower Wright whirlwind motor, a'machine that is as powerful as it is attractive. The ma chine was purchased from the Curtis Aviation Corporation, and flown from Baltimore to Aaheboro the first of the week. Dr. Hayworth has long been an aviation enthusiasist and has ridden more miles by airplane than any other person in Asheboro. He is said to be an apt pupil at the controls of an air plane. In recent weeks probably more peo ple here have ridden hi the air than in all time previously. “Barn atorm ers,” slang name for commercial fly ing outfits, have put up at the Brit tain airport from time to time, re cently, and have carried scores of passengers. In addition to these, air plane demonstration machines have been flown about the city, until it isn't a new thing now to hear the, roar of airplane motors above the town. Card Of Thank* Through the columns of The Couri er we wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for the many kindnesses extended and sympathy shown during our recent bereavement, the death of our father, John B.

We are also very grateful for tha beautiful floral offering. -Bis Child sen. - - ' Sumner To Start Typhoid Clinics Thursday, June 11 Itinerary Arranged For Entire Series Of Clinics Beginning On Next Thursday.

She told of the scarcity of food in widespread areas : in* China, declaring that the masses were always on the verge of starva tion, but they have gone so long with little to eat that they have become emaciated, resigned to their condition, and so have become almost immune to starvation.

She felt that the United States had rather welcomeed the uhdersirable class from Southern Europe in preference to cultured Chinese. »*’•' •' Z Asheboro Churches To Join Forces In Daily Bible School The Presbyterian, Methodist1 Protes tant and Methodist Episcopal churches will join forces in the daily vacation Bade school which will open for a two weeks' session in the First Methodist Episcopal church.
