Completing First
Month Of Work
nailv Program Changed Since
Year, With Work Be
ginning At 8:30.
Enrollment Is 1196
With 62 In The Graduating
Class; Teaching Load Con
tinues Heavy As Usual.
The Asheboro city schools are com
,etin(r the work of the first month
with the usual monthly tests and pre
paring to send out reports of pupils
next week. .
The daily program of the institu
tion has undergone several changes.
Instead of opening at 8 in the morn
ing and closing at 3:30 in the after
noon, school work begins at 8:30 and
closes at four. With this arrange
ment, there is a home-room chapel
period of only thirty minutes each
day which in the high school comes
from eleven-thirty to twelve o’clock.
Seating in the home rooms of the
hitrh school, especially, is somewhat
more comfortable this year because
of the slightly increased space. Mov
ing two first grade classes to the
new rooms south of the main building
has made such readjustments possible
that the high school now has nine
home rooms instead of six as last
year. The teacher load is still heavy
and classes crowded, as may be seen
from the figures given below.
Enrollment by Classes in High School
English I, 3 sections, 40, 37 and 42.
English II, 2 sections, 41 and 36.
English III, 3 sections, 33, 25 and
English IV, 2 sections, 32 and 31.

Well For Ramseur
Will Dig Well To Relieve Bad
Condition Existing Due To
Serious Drought.
The Randolph county board of edu
cation in session Monday unanimous
ly passed a resolution authorizing the
county superintendent of public in
struction to make application to the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
through the State Department of Ed
ucation for funds with which to con
struct new school buildings and add
new rooms to places already erected
for the following places in the coun
ty:
Archdale, Trinity township, new
building.
New Hope township, new building.
Union township, new building.
Coleridge township, new building.
Tabernacle township, new building.
New Market township, new build
ing.
Cedar Falls, new building.
Asheboro, new building.
Staley and Ramseur, additional
rooms.
Brower township, new building.
The county superintendent was
authorized to advertise for bids on
boring a well for the school house at
Ramseur. On account of the drought
the school is almost entirely out of
drinking water and it is necessary to
take steps immediately to provide the
school with a supply of water.
A request was made to the board
I by the colored people of Randleman
for transportation for high school
pupils to the Asheboro school. This
matter was left in the hands of the
county superintendent to work out the
i best way pos-sible.
; The county superintendent was in
structed to sell the old school house
in Trinity colored district.
Randolph Is Popular
As Hunting Ground
For Non-Residents
_All Counties In
State In Sale Non-Resident
Licenses Last Year.
Randolph was the most popular
county in North Carolina with non
| resident hunters during the season
1931-32, according to a study of rec
ords announced by Charles H. Eng
land, state game warden.
Last season, a total of 66 hunters
from other states purchased licenses
! in Randolph county, while Chatham
i county came second with a sale of 54
non-resident hunting permits.
The grand total of hunters from
other states coming to North Carolina
j last year dropped considerably from
j the previous season, 3,077 permits
I having been issuer! in the state during
11930-31, compared with 672 sold last
j season.
This sharp drop is believed to have
!been caused By a considerable extent
| by the shortest open season for years
on migratory wild fowl on the coast,
only 30 days being alloted for the
sport, England said.
The stringency of economic condi
tions is also believed to have been in
strumental in the decrease in nonresi
dent license sales, he added.

Asheboro music lovers.
Dr. Myers’ sermon Monday night
was (built about the importance of
seeing the best and expecting the best
of things and people. “Looking
Through Life’s Eastern Window,” he
called it. Tuesday night, he delivered
a powerful address for the benefit of
“The Man With a Grievance.” Few
of us pass through life without be
coming the victim of a grievance real
or imaginary. The remedy for a
grievance, he pointed out, was to
look around us. Other folks have it
just as hard as we do, maybe harder.
To look behind us, God has been mar
velously patient with us and wonder
fully good through all our past lives.
To look within, we don’t deserve
much and it is clear that we have not
received the due reward of our sins.
To look up, life is transformed for
us at every turn when we look up to
ward God.
The sound apparatus set up in the

Cox makes hearing easy in any comer
of the building. There will be no
service Saturday. The meeting will
be concluded Sunday night.
Reynolds Declares
Self In Sympathy
With Common Folk
At the Modem Woodmen of Amer

a few days ago a hundred Hoover
carts staged a parade. Almost every
imaginable combination of vehicle
powered by horses and mules was ex
hibited in the parade -and aroused
gales of laughter as the procession
moved along the principal streets.
Sharing in interest with the parade
was Robert R. Reynolds, Democratic
nominee for the United States Senate
to succeed Cameron Morrison. Mr.
Reynolds made a rousing speech in
which he declared himself one of the
plain people, sympathetic with their
hopes and aspirations and determined
when he went to Washington to give
them the square deal which he said
they had not had under the Repub
