Federal representa tives of the BRA, T. U Greer, A. C. Woodruff, W. L. Gilbert and Charles W. Phillips, director of this, the 15th district, were in Aaheboro Monday completing ,the moving of the local ERA office to Greensboro. In the future, under the new set up, all administrative matters will be dispatched from the Greensboro of fice. 11118 means that all disburs mente and spl purchases for mater ials must be made and approved by the Greensboro district office. To be definite—all supplies necessary for people on federal relief rolls in this county, most be ordered, as well aa for, by the Greensboro of fice. Medical care, medicines, food and other supplies coming from grocery and dry goods stores, are included in the Rems dispensed from the Green&Mp district office. The local case workers, two steno graphers, Mrs. Bruce Craven, who is in charge of the transfer of re cords from the old type to that re quired under the new administration, compose thb personnel of the' local offiee at present. A district director will be named to have charge of the case work and other work locally. It is understood this appointment will be made at an early date. The chief work done at the local BRA head quarters is the posting of case re-, cords. Robert T. Lloyd, who has formerly been in charge of this office,, but who has recently been recalled to all-time county work by the county commissioners, has removed his of fice and county welfaa* ..records to floor of the AiriMUng ' upt formerly occupied by the de monstration agent, E. S. SDUiups, Jr. Mr. Lloyd is unhesitating in his expression of gratitude to the people of the county who have cooperated so splendidly with him in his work during the past several months. He does wish also, however, to make it clear that he is no longer connected with any phase ef the federal work, therefore he cannot offer advice in any official capicity nor is he re sponsible for any .work except that pertaining to the county welfare de partment. He is chiefly employed for these first few days of re-organi zation with checking up on the county’s unemployables who are classed as such either from old age, health, mental or other reasons. He also has charge of keeping the. re cords of all these cases now that the unemployables have reverted to. the county.

One dog that is really affected from rabies can nec essitate treatment for many people, dogs and cattle. It is, therefore, a plan well fwofth looking into. As has already been pointed out by the meeting of the* Bo*rd of Health of Bandolph county, the treatment for rabies is expensive. Not, only is the expense 'the : dnly item, but the inoculation given f*r human beings is said to be a painful and tedious process. As is pointed out-by Dr.-Weston, one vaccination of a dog might pre vent pain, trouble and expense for human beings, at the same time, eli minate the danger to aoeiety as a whole.

Novel Discussion Before Rotarians Weekly Lunch-Meet Asheboro Rotarians were presented an unusual feature at their regular meeting Friday in the form of an address by Lt. Colonel C. Seymour Bullock, well known lecturer and prominent Rotarian. His subject was, “What Makes Rotary Rotate.” He stressed the friendship grow ing out of close acquaintance made possible in the Rotary organization and the co-operation resulting. . Also the importance of natipnalism, of patriotism to ones country, and in ternationalism from the standpoint of good will and fellowship. He said that Rotary is symbolic of that viewpoint. Co-operation, to Colonel Bullock, is the life of trade, not .competition. The Rotarian code, as practiced by itsi members, is a promotor of ideal ism in business and professional life. It was further pointed out that Ro tary amounted only to what its members put into it and not what they get out of it Berang Ajjnold, 103, of Bourne mouth, Eng.* ..has had to discon tinue bowling on" the physicians ad vice, . having participated in every local match for years. officer. .(Several matters of busi heas connected with thh public health work- in the county were disposed of at this meeting and various plans made for the period from now»until (July let, when Dr. Sumner’s leave expires.> v A somewhat detailed, d ie rabies situation was jr Wus- meeting and %e' ary decisions made. de4 .that no free tee win ta In Na tio«, On Other bra •;y Mayor Chairman Of . local Plana l*EL0f»M««r R<*11*ed Prow Thu Event To Be Retain ed In Ranhhh County. Interesting' to all social and creeds is the announcement of the ball to be held in the armory in Asheboro in honor of President Roosevelt’s birthday on Wednesday evening, January 30th. This local ? event is being staged in accordance with requests from the President himself who approves this plan which will be of financial aid to crippled children all over these.Uni-, ted States of which he is president. It is quite fitting, therefore, that the mayor of Asheboro, W. A. Bunch, is general chairman of this local event. Mr. Bunch announces that the ball will commence at 9:00 o’clock and will continue as late as people care to dance. A good dance orchestra, already a favorite in Asheboro, has been engaged for the occasion. This is -Pee Wee Furr's orchestra, from Albemarle. Assisting the chairman are the following citizens of Asheboro, com* posmg^a general comittee for perfect ing plans for the ball: W. C. Craven, Hinton Pierce, O. L. Presnell, E. H, Morris, Jr., C. W. McCrary, J. G. Crutchfield, Roy Cox, Mrs. Harriett® Walker, W. L. Lambert, J. F. White, Jr., D. B. McCrary, C. C. Cranford, Mrs. I. C. Moser, Mrs. A. E. Presnell, Mrs. George Birkhead, C. Thayer, Miss Clara Gill, B. S. Morris end R. L. Bunch. In accordance with the plan, the people of Randolph coun ty are asked to take note that Clarence H. Mackay, head of the Postal Telegraph Company, has plac ed at the disposition of the National Committee for the Birthday Ball for the President the faefiSlw of alt Postal Telegraph offices te the Uni' ted States for the purpose of mnlriny it possible for any .person, in tfcp United States who desires fo do se to send a birthday greeting to the President The person sending such greeting from any point in the United ing will be presented to the President on his birthday with the names of all of the persons so contributing. All of the 25 cents goes to the fund. The Postal Telegraph Co. makes no charge whatever for the use of their facilities. While, all payments must be made through the Postal Tele graph Company, when the funds are all in hand here the National Com mittee will send a check for 70 per cent of the total amount originating in your city back to your committee. It is of further interest to the citizens of Asheboro and of Randolph county, that a part of the funds collected will be retained in the county to be expended for relief of crippled children. This fact lends an added impetus to the .social side of the ball .which is sufficient in itself.
