THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1934. $2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE NUMBER 39 Asheboro C. Of C. 4 Working To Bring Forest Office Here Ask Cooperation Of Citizens In Finding Adequate Living Quarters For Group. 60 People Included office Space Available But Bousing Will Be Problem Un less People Open Homes. The Asheboro of Com merce is an active and concerted effort to bring into Ashe boro the entire department of the Randolph Hills project At present a part of this force is located at Troy, a part in Asheboro and at other places in the state. The idea of the Chamber of Commerce is to bring the group of sixty, now lo cated at Troy, to Asheboro, for the remainder of the working time which will probably be about a year. In order to do this, the Chamber of Commerce is asking the coopera tion of the people of Asheboro. Ade quate office space is available and offered and the only problem would be housing the sixty people com fortably. There are ten married peo ple and forty unmarried men who must be housed. As has been remark ed for sometime, there are no vacant houses in Asheboro, and the Cham ber of Commerce feels that with pro per cooperation from the citizens, the town could secure this outfit and house them in comfortable quarters. Arrangements have been made for a list of rooms, apartments and houses available to be filed from telephone number 45. People who are willing to cooperate to the extent of renting apartments and rooms are asked to call this number at once in order that the Chamber of Com merce may go on with the plans. As is easily obvious, bringing an office force of sixty people into a town is a desirable thing from the standpoint of business and the group of business people in charge of the proposal are anxious to offer them adequate and comfortable living quarters if they decide to move the office here. Some time ago a committee com posed of M. H. Birkhead, Cleveland Thayer and Jess P. Garner was named to attempt to include Ran 1 dolph in the area ef the National Forest Plan for this section of the state. This is the committee that is working actively with the president of the organization, Dr. O. L. Pres nell, to bring the group to Asheboro in the near future.

The cattle building is filled with registered cattle from all parts of the county.

Nor is the productiveness of Ran dolphers'farmwives without represen tation. Needlecraft and handiwork, veritable paragons of efficiency in the art of designing and -sewing, along with row on row of canned fruits, pickles, and varied vegetables, stand in attestation to accomplish ment and pride in accomplishment.
