Relief Ad^histrator To
Check On Dispensation
Mr Lloyd Would Have Authen
tic Reports from Every
Section Receiving Aid
Randolph Receives
$8,000 For August
Comparison is Made of Dispen
sation State Funds in This
Section and Davidson
Randolph county is allotted $8,000
from Federal emergency rdlief funds
for the month of August, according
to local Director R. T. Lloyd. The
division of this fund will be $8,000
for the work program now in prog
ress and $2,000 for direct relief and
rehabilitation. A part of this $2,000
goes into the canning program which
will tend to lighten the relief load
through the coming winter. Some of
this fund necessarily goes into fam
ilies who have no able-bodied per
sons working.
It is of interest to note how the
relief allotment is distributed in other
counties nearby.
Davidson county is allotted $10,
000 from Federal emergency relief
funds for the months of August,
according to announcement from
Raleigh. This is slightly more than
one one-hundredth of the total
amount allotted to the counties for
August, though Davidson stands
tenth or eleventh m population.
When fund allotments are com
pared with populations by counties
it appears evident that some almost
purely agricultural counties have
much heavier relief demands than
does Davidson, which is one of the
important industrial counties. On the
other hand, some industrial counties
draw much more heavily than Da
vidson. Guilford, for instance, on the
basis of population, dratws 2.55 times
as heavily as Davidson, that county
being allotted $71,1)00 and having
2.78 times as much population as
Davidson county in the 1080 census.
The relief director in Davidson
county has taken that county as a
base and has compiled a rather in
teresting comparison of the relief
work in the counties surrounding,
which are only one step more remote
from Randolph.
Cleveland county affords a con
trast in the other direction, taking
only $6,000 for relief and having
SI,914 population, or little over
in ®* state
has many textile plants in Shelby
and Kings Mountain.
But there is Edgeombe, a fine
faming county. Which has only 28
more population than Davidson, with
less of it urban, 'but takes $6,500
more relief money. Pamlico and
Hyde, with no urtmn population to
speak of, draw mere than twice as
heavily per capita as Davidson. New
Hanover, which coittains the city of
Wilmington, has 4£56 fewer people
than Davidson but draws 2.3 times
as much relief money as this coun
ty. Moore, Scotland, Duplin, other
eastern counties, average about twice
as heavy as Davidson county. These
are largely agricultural. Craven
draws about twice as heavily per
capita. Chatham move than one and
a half times, but Randolph is about
the same proportion. Carteret draws
a little less than three times as
much per capita and Dare in the
same proportion.
The greatest immediate need in
Randolph, stated by Director Lloyd,
is the need of cooperation in the
matter of dispensing the relief in
the best and most needed places.
Mr. Lloyd is trying to make a defi
nite check of the dispensation of
relief in Randolph and asks people
in the various sw&ions of the coun
ty to give authorised information to
him concerning those who are re
ceiving aid. It is the purpose of the
relief organisations to dispense re
lief where relief is really necessary,
regardlss of race, creed or color and
authentic reports to Mr. Lloyd will
greatly facilitate in this check-up.

Two Civic Clubs Of
Asheboro Meet For
Joint Outing Thurs.
Tw civic organizations of Ashe
boro, the Kiwanis and Rotary
d«be are enjoying an outing at
Watldn’a Lake, near Ramsenr this
evening and making plans that
will doubtless be of profit to the
further progress of the town and
county as well. This is the first
joint meeting that these clubs have
ever held and it is expected that
profit as well as pleasure will he
the result of this meeting.
The two groups represent Ashe
boro’s most active business men
and men from practically every
vocation whs have a common in
terest and a common bond in the
welfare of fheir town and county
which is the underlying purpose
of both organizations. Their pro
grams for recent meetings have
dealth largely with the discussion
of plans for the benefit of Ashe
boro and Randolph county.
It is especially fitting that the
group has met at Wafkin's Lake
for the late Ernest Watkins was
an active member of the Rotary
Club and interest in Randolph
county next to his interest in his
own family. The lake also offers
an ideal place for this semi-re
creational meeting.
Two Asheboro Boys
Receive Degrees At

College Rounds Out 100 Tears
Service with Hans Tor
Wider Progress
Wake Forest, Aug. 15.—Among
the 31 Wake Forest College Summer
school seniors who received degrees
on Friday morning, August 10, are
Ernest C. Swing and Waldo C.
Cheek, both of Asheboro. Mr. Swing
received the Bachelor of Science de
gree, and Mr. Cheek, the Bachelor
of Arts degree.
Both of these young men have
made significant records while at
Wake Forest. Mr. Swing was first
and Mrs. R. F. Cheek, entered Wake
Forest in the fall of 1931 and has
completed his undergraduate work
in three years and three summer
schools. Next year He will enter the
law school here.
With the graduation of this class
Wake Forest rounded out her first
100 years of service. On September
10 she will begin the second century
with present prospects pointing to
wards the most successful year in
her history. With the Johnson Me
morial medical building completed in
' 1931 and a new administration build-1
ing dedicated last May, the plan for
a greater Wake Forest will be given
farther impetus in the early fall
when work will begin on a new
$100,000 physical education-auditori

Farmers Mutual Asso.
Shows Decided Drop
During Eight Months
A recent audit of the books of
the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
Association shows the Association to
be in good condition financially. The
association has only suffered approxi
mately $800.00 in fire and wind loss
es for the past eight months, which
is about one-seventh of the average
annual losses for the past ten years.
These reductions in fire losses is
attributed to the fact that all policies
in the county have been reduced and
that the company strickly follows
the policy of only paying three
fourth value of the buildings insured
regardless of the amount it is in
sured for. The last annual meeting
was held October 11th and it is ex
pected the next annual meeting will
be on or about October 11th, which
is approximately 60 days off.

Pair Catalogues Are

In Randolph County
People Of This Section Are Be
ginning to Prepare for Coun
ty Event Not Far Off.
People in Randolph are beginning
to talk Randolph County Pair now
a-days and plan for exhibits. This
Randolph county event is more than
a Fair for there is always a home
coming feature to the occasion that
draws folks who have wandered from
the county to other states. People
who live in the county meet and
greet friends they probably do not
see except at Fair-time thus it be
comes a social occasion.
The social side is not the only
drawing card to the Randolph Coun
ty Fair, however, for neighboring
counties realize and admit that the
exhibits on display at this county
fete are unusually fine. It is ex
pected this year that there will be
even better field and garden crops
than usual on account of favorable
weather.. There are also a large
number of added industries started
up since last October in Asheboro
and at other places in the county
which will add interest to this sec
tion of the exhibit hall.
Stock raising in this section has
also increased within the year and
this department is expected to be
increased in size and quality.
For those who go to the Fair
just to be entertained, the manage
ment has provided a midway that
will be all that could be desired i*
the way of entertainment. A con
tract has been signed with Best and
Company Shows who will be on
hand early and late.
W. A. Bunch, president of the Ran
dolph Association, and C. L. Hay
worth, secretary, announce that the
catalogs are being mailed out thi3
week and others may obtain them
from one of the officers. The cata
logs will enable those who are plan
ring to cooperate and furnish exhib
its to get lined up early and make
this Fair the best ever!

Rev. R. C. Stubbing and Mrs.
Stubbing, who are old acquain
tances. Mr. Simpson won second
place in the international long dis
tance race between New York and
San Francisco staged some three
years ago. He was one of fifty,
or more, entrants and was the
only contestant from North Car

At the time, there was wide
comment upon the endurance and
speed of Mr. Simpson who has
been interested in track and like
sports since he was six years old.
He is now twenty-nine and equal
ly as interested as in earlier days.
When a mere boy, he ran errands
for stores and places of business
in Burlington and worked up his
speed until he entered the profes
sional field.
He is a graduate of Elon Col

the people to use only milk that
is known to be pure.

Superintendent Hilker Plans for
Health And Citizenship
Program For Fall
Date For Opening Is
Indefinite At Present
Work Progressing Class Rooms
With Hope of Completion
Before School Opens
Interest is beginnig to focus
around the Asheboro school opening
as the time is just a month distant.
Superintendent R. J. Hilker an
nounces that the plan to open the
Asheboro school is now in line with
the date of the opening of the coun
ty schools, which is September 13th,
but this will necessarily be determin
ed definitely at a later date. On ac
count of the work now in progress
on several of the center class rooms,
there is a bare possibility that the
opening date may be delayed slight
ly, but those in charge of the work
report satisfactory progress and are
of the opinion that school work would
not be hampered by the work neces
sary at that time.
Mr. Hilker plans to stress the
health program in his fall and win
ter plans, feeling that child’s prog
ress in school is largely dependent
upon this factor. Definite details will
doubtless be announced concerning
the plans in process of formation
along the lines of child health and
welfare. Citizenship wil also be
stressed both among the pupils and
in the group teachers' meetings dur
ing the fall. This is the general topic
chosen by the state school commis
sion at Raleigh and will be taken
up in the fall in the Asheboro school.
Mr. Hilker has no radical changes
in mind at the present moment and
hopes to get into routine work with,
both teachers and pupils as speedily
after the opening of school as is
possible. This idea has somewhat
characterized Mr. Hilker’s eight years
as head of the Asheboro school
which is, probably, a prime reason
for his marked success. The school
slips quickly into routine work and
the wheels run smoothly and quietly.
Of interest also is the list of
teachers which is complete exoept
in the case of Miss Susie Thomas*
fifth grade left vacant when she
was married last month. This va
cancy will be filled at an early data.
The list follows:
High school—Stisa Alma Lassiter,
principal, Miss Cornelia Ayers, Hart
Campbell, Miss Mary E. Clark, Mist
Clara Gill, Mrs. J. G. Prevette, Miss
Massa Lambert, Miss Mabel Robert
son, J. James Sanderson.
