Announcement Made This Week
In Order To Hurry JJp Pub
lic Works Program.
Allotment, of *16,678,675 for the
construction of 237 public buildings
was announced this week by Secretary
Ickes, public works administrator,
who a* the same time gave the infor
mation that a new policy for suoh
(structures had been inaugurated.
Asheboro is among the cities slated
' for a new building.
President Roosevelt unreservedly
approves this revised architectural
policy, which in the future will call
for the construction of less ornate
and therefore less expensive types of
buildings; in other words, a plain
Democratic type of architecture, with
the emphasis on the utilitarian val
ues.
It is realized, following this an
nouncement, that cities like Greens
boro, with structures that at all] times!
arouse civic pride, had’a narrow es
cape, for if construction of those
buildings) had been postponed, plainer
structures would have been erected,
and, as was announced this week, “lo
cal materials of a suitable nature will
be used whenever feasible in the
buildings, instead of expensive stones
transported a long distance. The gov
ernment will even go in for leu ex
pensive sites in the future. The post
offices now proposed include a build
ing for North Wilkeeboro, to cost
*50,600, a building for Pinahurst, to
cost *60,500, and one for Asheboro, to
cost *55,000.
It is suspected that the federal
emergency administration made the
announcement concerning the project
ed buildings at this time to escape
pressure from members of Congress,
and it is believed that an additional
list will be given the public within
a short timOt • ’ 1

Next Step For Improving
Town Of Randleman.
The citizens of Randleman are re
joicing over two interesting bits of
news this week—a new industrial
plant for the town, and the completion
of the water works project in sight.
, Mace and Company, of Brooklyn,
N. Y., are this week moving machin
ery into the building formerly occu
pied by the Quinn Weaving Company
preparatory to setting up a rayon mill
for the town. The looms, now in proc
ess of setting up, will furnish employ
ment for approximately a hundred
men and women. If the work of the
installation of the machinery moves
smoothly, those in charge of the plant
expect to open within thirty days.
The Quinn Weaving Company has
been dosed for the past year.
Rumors are also afloat iri Randle
man that a hosiery mill will also be
located in the town in the near fu
ture. Other business prospects are
also in the offing for the town that
has been somewhat hard hit for sev
eral years.
The town has also been figuring for
sometime on waterworks and it is a
great source of delight that the plans
are taking form sufficiently to see a
realization of the dream in the near
future. C. W. Hilliard attended a
meeting of the local government com
mission in Raleigh last week and re
ports that it is almost an assured
fact that the project will go through
at an early date. Engineers have
been working on the project and addi

necessary sources for the approval of
the plan.

At Meeting Sunday
At Jackson Creek
Number Of Masons From Den

Honor To Worthy Man.
Jackson Hill, Nov. 13.—Sunday af
ternoon, Nov. 12th, Masons from Den
ton Lodge No. 404, assisted by a few
members from Thomasville and Lex
ington lodges, met at the home of C.
L. Badgett, at Jackson Hill, to pay
honor to him in the presence of rela
tives and a few friends.
Mr. Badgett is the oldest Mason in
Ithe Denton Lodge No. 404. In 1872
! he was initiated and in 1873 was
raised to the sublime degree of Mas

Ramseur Loses
Two Fine Young
Women By Death
Mrs. W. A. Brown And Mrs. W.
O. York, Both Splendid Wo
men, Called To Beyond.
Shock To Town
Were Active In Church And
Civic Work And Town Deep
ly Deplores Their Loss.
Raraaeur, Nov. 13.—Ramseur cora
thaji
Jest bcfcsuM t<r» at our finest young
women who suddenly passed to the
beyond since oUr last news letter.
Mrs. W. A. Brown, 28, was taken t*
Randolph Hospital Tuesday, Novem
ber 7, for an appendicitis operation
and died the morning of the 8th. Her
sudden illness and death has stunned
the people of Ramseur and Siler City
where she lived until about a year
ago. Surviving besides her husband,
W. Alfred Brown, are her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Hilliard, and several
sisters and brothers of Siler City.
Mrs. Brown was an active church
worker in the First Methodist church
before moving here, and by her faith
fulness to her church here and all
the organizations through which she
could be useful, she soon endeared
herself to a wide circle of Christian
people who miss her now. Funeral
service was held at the First Metho
dist church at Siler City Thursday
afternoon, conducted by her pastor
there, assisted by Rev. A. C. Tippett,
of Ramseur M. E. church. A large
crowd of sorrowing friends attended
and lovely flower® spoke the love and
sympathy of these friends.
Mrs. W. O. York, (nee Gertha M.
Ward), died Friday at St. Leo’s hos
pital, Greensboro, after an illness of
about three weeks. Mrs. York was
43 years of age, and leaves her hus
band and two sons, Ghas. and Fred,
several brothers and sisters and her
aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. P.
Ward, of Liberty, R. F. D. Mrs. York
was one of our finest women, one
about whom nothing could be said
but good, a loving wife, a devoted
mother who freely spent her short
life for the benefit of her loved ones
and friends. A faithful member of
Ramseur Baptist church, always ready
to do her part in any of the activities
of her church, Mrs. York could always
be depended upon to do more than her
part. Ramseur feels that she cannot
get on without this good woman. A
large concourse of people gathered at
Ramseur Baptist church Saturday af
ternoon to show their love for her.
The pastor, Rev. H. M. .Stroup, con
ducted the service. A great collection
of flowers borne by her friends cov
ered the grave where she was laid to
rest here.
The largest crowd Ramseur has seen
in a long time gathered at the school
building Sunday afternoon in a com
munity singing. Quartets, trios and
duets from surrounding towns and
communities were heard to the great
enjoyment of the many hearers. There
are lots of way® you can spend your
time Sunday afternoons worse than
singing the Christian songs we heard
Sunday. Keep the good work up
girls and boys. The Ramseur girls’
quartette sponsored this gathering and
by the way, we don’t think any one
beat them singnng.

Among the important matters to be
settled by this body will be the ques

At the last session of the conference
a committee was appointed to-look in
to the advisability of uniting several
of the secondary schools belonging
to the conference. That committee
headed by Bishop Mouzon, has already
under authority given by the last
conference, decided that it was wise
to merge Rutherford and Weaver
colleges and Davenport and Greens

thorities of Brevard Institute having
turned over all properties held by
them to the new educational institu

Total Loans Approved By The
Bank So Far Have Reached
More Than Two Millions.
Salisbury.—Loans to home owners
of North Carolina totaling 216 for an
amount of $569,907.87 were approved
the past week by the state branch of
the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation,
it is announced by Alan S. O’Neal,
state manager. The state manager
added that this constituted the great
est single week’s activities since the
organization began to function during
the summer.
The week’s work brought the num
ber of loans approved in the past
four months to 846, having a total
value of $2,960,550.51.
Mr. O’Neal said that the fullest co
operation of attorneys throughout the
state in examining titles on these 84t>
homes, had been asked and was being
given. The legal work on many of
these already has been completed and
the bonds or cash issued, and it was
expected by the state manager that
the final steps would be taken on a
large number of those now in the
hands of attorneys in the near future.
Twenty of the loans approved this
week were with reduction of mort
gage indebtedness, the value of homes
