Superintendent R. J. Bilker, of the
city schools, a few years ago, in
augurated a. new. system ot, gjajling
and recdnarufending students ; for ; col
lege, which is proving more satisfac
tory thin the wd Way. In okief, the
system is as follows:
Two classes of diplomas are given.
All graduates who make an average
of four plus or more, above 75, on
every subject taken in high school,
are givett collegi^e^r^nce ^plomas
and special recommendations, when

ages failing beldvr 7S1, atb given non

not recommended for college deceit
on the studies on which they made
the required grades. If requested,
collegerentrance grades made on any
subjects by the second type of stud
ents may ibe sent ip and the students
may consult with college authorities
in regard to .making arrangements
for entrance examinations on other
subjects. Superintendent Bilker has
urged that colleges give such exami
nations, but, so far, none have con
sented to do so.
• Dr. J. Henry Highsmith, state di
rector .of high schools, highly com
mends the plan, ahd advises other
high schools td adopt it. Many
other schools' that ^ave oo'y
one kind of dipldinp have, for years,
refused to recommend students^ for
college entrances who did not make
averages of as much as 85 on their
studteSr.
The grades below college ratmg
that may count toward graduating
are four add four minus. A grade
of four equals a percentage of front
62 Vi to 75. Four minus equals 60
to 62%. A diploma wen on even
these grades id wett .worth having,
as it gives a youdg pbrson mere

The reduction to take place to
day is not the only curtailment
of the CWA workers force in
prospect. Mr. Lloyd has instruc
tions to reduce the pay roll
each week by reduction of force.
He has not been notified just
what percentage the reduction
will be, but has been advised it
will be gradual, looking to stop
page or near-stoppage of CWA
work at the earliest possible
moment.
No new projects are being re
ceived at the local CWA office,
nor are iany desired, according
to Mr. Lloyd. It appears that
the federal government hopes
to keep those in actual need of
work employed on the unfinished
projects already approved or un

Appr< *al Given
Of Annual Jackson Day Dinner
Of Young Democrats To Be
Held On March 31st.
J. Wallace W.nbome, the State
Democratic Chairman has issued a
call for a meeting of the State
Democratic Executive Committee to
be held in the Hall of the House
of Representatives in the Capitol
Bu'lding in the City of Raleigh on
Thursday, March 8th at 8 o’clock
p. m. The purposes of the meeting
are stated as follows: (1) The nam
ing of (a) dates for holding pre
cinct meetings and count> conven
tions and (b) the time and place
of holding the State Democratic
Convention; (2) Taking action on
resignation of Honorable O. Max
Gardner as National Committeeman;
and (3) Transacting such other busi
ness as may properly come before
the Executive Committee for con
sideration at that time.
Chairman Winbome also address
ed a letter to all members of the
Democratic State Executive Commit
tee and- to all Democratic County
Chairmen in which he gives full ap
proval to the Jackson Day Dinner
Celebration of the Young Democratic
Clubs of North Carolina on March
31st. After having conferred with
Mrs. Ney Evans, State President of
the Young Democratic Clubs, with
reference to the plans and purposes
of the gathering, Mr. Winbome’s let
ter states:
“It is the desire and ambition of
the Young Democrats to make the
Jackson Day Dinner a traditional
party event in the years to come,
and through this means to make a
real contribution to the Democratic
Party. It is desired that the com
ing event will be a rousing party
rally and that 411 Democrats feel
an interest in it and give full- co- .
operation to make it an enjoyable
and beneficial party gathering.
“In 1932 the Young Democratic
leaders and organizations gave un
selfish support and cooperation and
heartily responded to every call in
the campaign directed by me as
State Chairman, and thereby render
ed a most splendid and valuable ser
vice toward attaining, the Uijprec^
dented party victory in which all
Democrats had a hand and of which
all may rightly claim a part.”
Government Moves
To Probe Charges
Of Graft In CWA
A few weeks ago CWA graft
charges appeared in the headlines.
The President himself was getting
hundreds of letters a day complain
ing of sharp practices. Job-selling,
political preference, false expense'
accounts, padded payrolls—these
were the bones of contention. The
government moved fast. Employes
guilty of even suspicious actions,
were dismissed, some were arrested.
The Attorney General went to work
investigating other cases. Adminis
trator Hopkins, -worried and discon
certed, sent out Army engineers to
check up on CWA work. When one
was sent to Cook County, Illinois,
which contains the city of Chicago,
the entire Illinois CW4 commission
resigned.
At the same time, a nation-wide
move got underway to keep the CWA
in existence—it was due to pass
away shortly. Mr. Roosevelt, how
ever, doesn’t want it as a permanent
part of his organization, announced
that he would adopt a modified
course. Instead of bringing its ac
tivities to an end at once, it will
be allowed to live until May 1. On
February 15, CWA workers in the
South will be discharged at the rate
of 500,000 a week, and the dismissal
movement will mow gradually north
as the weather grows warmer.
Penalty Of 1 Per
Cent Imposed First
Of March On Taxes
Randolph county taxes are being
paid -this month with a one per cent
penalty added. But this is not the
end of the penalty, for there is add
ed an additional one per cent a
month until paid. For instance,
1933 taxes paid in March will bear
a two per cent penalty, and those
paid in April a 3 per cent penalty.
Attention to the March penalty is
called in a notice from Sheriff C. E.
King, as follows:
NOTICE
This is to remind the tax payers
of Randolph county that after the
first day of March an additional
one per cent will have to be added
to unpaid 1933 taxes, making the
penalty due for taxes during March
two per cent. All who have hot
yet paid are urged to do so at once
and thus save the additional cost.
