Randolph County’s Building And Loan Offers New Series Popular Demand From Those Who Would Build Homes Makes This Necessary The Randolph County Building and Loan Association will open a new series on October 1st, for those who wish to take advantage of taking new shares. It is not the custom of the Association to open the bus iness for shares except in the spring, but this is done at this time in order to accomodate many people who are building new homes and who have not already secured shares. According to Lee M. Kearns, sec retary and treasurer of the Associa tion, the past year has been a most successful one and it has been poss ible to make loans all during the year. The mortgage loans now in force amount to $329,964.00 with stock loans amounting to $7,634.00 This is the twenty-third series of the Randolph County Building and Loan and it looks as if it will be well subscribed for. Not since 1929 has it been deemed necessary to open the sec<Mid series during any one year, the annual open season being considered sufficient to take care of the customers. Tire last series of this company's business open for the public was in February 1934 and was considered a most satisfactory series by Mr. Kearns, who feels that the opening of a series of shares at this time will enable many to build homes of their own could not otherwise do so and it will, there fore, be a source of accommodatioi to many people.

Every thing Points To An Excellent Fair Oct. 2-6 A somewhat general survey and check over the county concerning the possibilities for a good Fair for Randolph this year, reveals the fact that there is a very deep and gen eral interest in practically every sec tion. Especially are the county folks interested in the agricultural live stock and textile exhibits, according to ex-sheriff Ben Millikan, who is vice-president of the Fair Associa tion. Other officers of the Fair, W. A. Bunch, and C. M. Hayworth, pres ident and secretary of the organisa tion, have similar reports that are county-wide. People are already assembling their exhibits in connection with the inter est and talk about the Fair. The prospects for the agricultural ex hibits are the best for many years. Climatic conditions have been favor able this year and farm products are abundant and of excellent quality. Rumors from the eastern section of the county indicate that the farmers of that section plan to “show fanners of western Randolph what eal farming is” by their exhibits at real iwuuim Fair.

Work With Pellagra : Canning Will Continue On Sat urday In Asheboro Through out Garden Season. During the summer months a very valuable part of the local welfare program has been the home demon stration work under which depart ment canning has been going on. Miss Margaret Hammond, of Ashe boro, has been serving as emergency director of this phase of the work and reports a total number of 31,534 quarts of fruits and vegetables can ned under her supervision. The fin ancial value of this canned goods is estimated at $4,731.10. Miss Hammond has visited 942 homes of the 402 white and 79 col ored people enrolled on the relief records in Randolph county. .It is es timated that 752 of these families iave summer gardens. There is no record on this report of winter gar dens. Thirty five demonstrations in canning have been given, two food preparation demonstrations, ten sani tation demonstrations and twelve home improvement plans are includ ed in Miss Hammond’s report of her activities. Thirty-five homes have been used for canning in the eighteen communities where the canning has been in progress. The community cannery at the welfare office in Asheboro has been the scene of the principal work in canning, however. Miss Hammond and her committee have worked with 513 of the 526 white families and 241 of the 279 colored families on the relief rolls. Other Work In addition to the" canning:, 82 pounds of vegetables have been dried and 76 pounds of fruit dried. There have been ten volunteers who have aided in the canning and drying of vegetables and twelve paid assistants. Miss Hammond has held ten training schools for her leaders during the summer with full attendance. It was found by this group of workers that pellagra exists in forty five homes in which these workers have been and that they have offered plans and literature for the pre vention and cure of this disease. FnilMilllW fnrnmortHahl» ftiul of & ^ ~ consErtrciive irst tnf> "'-sn© wwe oi this department among the colored people. A colored woman, Effie Caddell has been invaluable among the work of her own class and sever al others have also joined forces to put over their part of the program with most satisfying results. Work To Continue People in Randolph who realize what Miss Hammond has actually ac complished are delighted with her achievements and feel that this is a very definitely constructive piece of work for the county. Miss Hammond has already begun teaching in one of the county schools, but because the supply of vegetables and fruits is still abundant in this section, Miss Hammond is directing canning and drying each Saturday at the local welfare office. It will be impossible to get out into any of the homes of the county for this work, but it will be a great help for it to con tinue on Saturdays. Miss Hammond estimates that there will be at least 1,000 more cans filled during tho season. Pain is essential. It teaches men to take care of themselves.
