ISSUED VOLUME LV1II s PRINCIPLES. NOT MEN Asheboro, N. C., Thursday, March 1, 1934. 5,021 People Welcome You to Asheboro, “Center of North Carolina” a $2.00 A YEAR DVANCE NUMBER 9 Randolph Faces A Big Reduction In CWA Allotment Funds Suffered 33 Per Cent Cut Last Week And An other Heavier Cut. Workers Laid Off Number Of Workers Cut Al ready From 820 Xo 365, An other Reduction Probable. Randolph county faces the pro bability of having to discontinue every CWA project under way with the possible exception of two or three. The airport project may have to be discontinued. Every road pro ject in the county may have to be dropped. The sanitary privy project faces extinction. In fact, if the drastic cuts in CWA funds con tinues two more weeks, the CWA payroll in Randolph will be negli gible. Cut 33 per cent last week, Robert T. Lloyd, director of the CWA work in Randolph, was told this week to cut his force of workers again, and this time by 36 per cent. That makes a 39 per cent cut in two weeks, with prospects of a still further cut next week mad the next until the entire CWA work ends on May 1. In two weeks the number on the CWA payroll in Randolph has been cut from 320 to 365, and the pay roll reduced to less than $3,000 weekly, only a shadow if its former size. Mr. Lloyd has carefully surveyed the CWA projects under way in the county and figures that 85,000 work ing hours will be required to get those already started to the point they may be dropped with any good to the county. He was told at the state CWA office in Raleigh Tues day that the maximum working hours he could hope for 'before May 1 would be 35,000. Acting under such instructions Mr. Lloyd is forced to cut already from the CWA payroll in the county, per sons in dire need, and more of these will have to be dropeed. However, Mr. Lloyd is not going to let any body suffer for the necessities of life as long as the federal emer gency relief funds hold out. Randolph gets such a drastic cut, Mr. Lloyd avers, because it is classi rectors hold that Randolph is a fanning county and that farmers should be busy preparing for crops this spcrir^r and summer. However, it is difficult to see how crop prep arations can be made with weather the coldest of the year and the soil frozen. Mr. Lloyd, accompanied by R. J. Hilker, superintendent of the city schools, Cleve Thayer, secretary of the chamber of commerce, W. A. Bunch, mayor, and J. R. Parks, was in Raleigh Tuesday endeavoring to get the drastic out for this county rescinded. They were not success ful in their initial efforts, but hope they may stay farther cuts. Pros pects were poor for this, though. The cut in CWA funds means that the Ashebono school improve ment project cannot be completed unless Mr. Uoyd is able to get an exception for this work. The pro ject, as has been stated previously in this newspaper, was approved January 1, 1934, and could have been completed long ago had the school authorities put up the money for the fire escapes and actual material for electric wiring. The authorities did spend 3498 of the money set aside for the project in labor for cleaning the building, and previous ly had used 335 CWA money for library shelves. But the main part of the project, that calling for fire escapes to reduce the fire hazard and that for wiring the dark halls and (unlighted rooms in the building was passed up. Now the school au thorities are said to be interested in completing the improvements call ed for in the project, but probably too late to avail themselves of the free labor offered by the CWA. To Present Pageant At Randolph Training School On March 19 ^ 1 Colorful and swiftly- moving events may be used in describing “Oat of the Dank,” a pageant depicting and characterizing ' the unprecedented progress of the negro, which will be presented in the auditorium of the Randolph County Training school Monday evening, March 19. Three hundred yews of heart aches, sor rows deprivations and death, joy, wonderment, education culture, art, literature, progress are crowded in to the episode* of a brief evening’s entertainment. ‘ The religions idea will predominate and like a thread will run through the whole story. Many folk songs and spirituals will be heard during the performance, such as: Nobody knows the trouble I see, Ita just going home, Deep River Lullaby, The Great Camp Meeting in the promised Land and others. The casts have been se lected from members of the high school department with the glee club rendering the music. More than one hundred people will take pact in the pwgaant Graduating Class Busy Rehearsing On Senior Class Play Members of the graduating class of the Asheboro high school are rehearsing for the annual .play to be presented in the school auditorium sene tine in March.

Attendance Upon Asheboro School Shows A Decline Figures Show That Attendance At Local School Has Fallen Off Heavily Recently. Face Teacher Loss Since Number Teachers Are Based On Average Atten dance; Campaign Staged. It is the usual thing in all schools for the attendance to drop off during the winter months because of sick ness and had weather. An especial ly good attendance record will be from being even worse next year than this. The number of teachers allotted by the state for next year for a school is based on the average daily at tendance record for this year. The lower the attendance, the fewer teachers we shall be allowed for the coming year. To show the trend of attendance for the past five mon ths, the following figures are sub mitted by the local school: Elementary grades: Total atten dance for first month, 864; second month, 856; third month, 849.5; fourth month, 830.2; fifth month, 777. iHigh School: First month) 337.2; second month, 334.8; third month, 327.3; fourth month, 316.9; fifth month, 304.2. According to the attendance re cord of the past month, the Ashe boro school should be entitled to eleven teachers for the high school and twenty-two for the elementary. The averages for the five months entitle the school to 11.6 teachers for the high school and 24.2 for the elementary. From these figures it will be observed that the high school has lost ground to the amount of six-tenths of a teacher. The ele mentary school has lost an equivalent of 2.2 teachers. A better attendance campaign is being waged within the local school at this time. More Health Work Being Performed At The Local School Mrs. J. K. Gelbach, the school nurse, is continuing her work in the city schools of examining eyes and considering the problems of under weight and undernourished children.

Lines, Poles Down And 200 Telephones In Town Out Of Commission; Power Company Suffers Loss. With Randolph’s neighboring counties of Guilford and Forsyth still almost entirely cut off from communication and modem conven iences of electric power, telephone and telegraph service, Randolph is fast getting back to normal from the havoc wrought by the snow, sleet and ice of Saturday and Sunday. According to Mr. Thayer, of the Carolina Power & Light Co., Randol ph county suffered little inconvenience and the damage coverage from the sitorm is set at $900.00 to $1,000. Only about a dozen poles were brok en in the whole county and the local company feel that the lines in this section of the state held up re markably well. Mr. Kennedy, manager of the tele phone company serving Randolph county reports considerable damage, but in comparison to our neighbors in central Carolina where the fury of the storm was spent, ds consider ed light at that. The total damage will probably run between four and five thousand dollars. Two hund red telephones in Asheboro were put out of order by falling limbs and trees and four miles of wire and poles between Asheboro and High Point are doiwn. In North Ashe boro near the Hospital, it will pro bably be necessary to replace sev eral large cables, but a force from Charlottesville, headquarters for the company, rushed to Asheboro Tues day and work is going forward.
