ASHEBORO, N. C., THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1935. Most People In Asheboro and Randolph County Read The COURIER—It Leads $2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE NUMBER 11. Kandolph Advisory Board \nnounced By Mrs. Drake tbers Represent Several Sec* ns Of County Who Will Meet Monthly. jwing Room Opened In Two County Towns Jes And Mares Distributed To Families; Commodities Dispensed To Poor. Mrs. Drake, in charge of the cade jrkers of Randolph county, has is week made several interesting .tements for the press and for the 'ormation of the people of Ran ilph county. Possibly the most in vesting announcement among the is the naming of the advisory which represents several- sec ions of the county. The members ire: C. C. Cranford, Asheboro; H. L. Ragan, Archdale; Ernest Kearns, Asheboro route two; Dr. C. D. Kist ler, Randleman; Herman Cranford, Asheboro and Russell Parks, also of Asheboro, An additional member will be added to this board soon. The purpose of the board is to act as an intermediay between the of fice and the community. This plan will enable the workers to better ob tain and serve the community’s needs. One member from this board will be chosen to represent Randolph county on a district board which will be composed of representatives from all three counties in this district. The district, as has been previously stat ed, is composed of Randolph, Rock ingham and Guilford counties. The board held the first meeting at Mrs. Drake’s office on Friday with a good attendance of the mem bers present. It was decided that the time of meeting be set for the fourth Friday in each month. At the next session of the board, the dis trict representative will be named and other items of business disposed of by the members. Another matter of interest to the Randolph citizens is the opening of a sewing room in Randleman recently. Mrs. Ralph B. Russell is head seam stress with ten women employed in the work room. Mrs. Grady Ridge is head seamstress in charge of the Asheboro sewing room with thirteen other women employed. There is a plan^on foot atjmegent to open an fart her announcement will be made concerning this matter at a later date. The number of mares and mules distributed among relief families in Randolph during the year 1984 and to the present date are S3 mules and eight mares. The plan for the distribution of these animals is to further aid families who have been receiving relief funds to “get on their [ feet.” The direct object of aid is to ward helping these families to the place they can care f$r themselves and become independent. t It is now possible for Mrs. Drake’s office to. dispense some commodities to the county welfare director, R. T. Lloyd. Canned milk, hamburger, soup stock and other canned goods, in cluding a half barrel of kraut, mut ton and beef are among the items listed. This will materially aid the county work that was unloaded 75 destitute families on the county with no provision for their support. This work will necessarily be placed in the county budget later but, at the present, there is no provision for financing this work. New Race Track To Be Opened Saturday By Gov. Ehringhaus Governor J.

There is plenty of land, but not enough houses here. Several couples are now living in crowded quarters with other families because they can not find a house for rent. We are glad folks want to move to Ramseur and are sorry we don’t have enough homes to receive them. If some one would invest some money in small homes for rent m Ramseur it would relieve a situation that is against the progress of the town now, and would be a paying in vestment too.

Sanitary Project For The County Now Approved Randolph county officers have this week received word from Raleigh that their sanitary project has been approved which means that work of this nature will be started in earnest at an early date. The project in cludes approximately 2,500 privie3 which will be built by ERA labor with the coat of materials paid by the property owner. It is the hope of Dr. Gregg, coun ty health officer, and J. H. Wylie, sanitary inspector for the county, that the program will be well under way by the first of April with sev officer* in char When Dr. Gi sition as acting Dental Clinic Closes In City School This Week March Term For Civil & Criminal Cases Begins Mon.

The docket is an unusually heavy one with several cases of interest both in the civil docket as well as the week of criminal cases. The North Carolina Assembly Still In Session; Pay Stops Many More Important Bills To Come Before Both Houses In The Near Future. Hill BilfThursday Taxes And Expenditures To Be Thrashed Out Along With Delayed Beer Bill. The state senate assured on Mon day night a new state tubercular sanatorium In western North Caro lina, when it unanimously passed the $250,000 bond issue bill, already through the house. This was done on the second reading. Much credit is due Senator Lee Gravely from passing of this bill, < os he led an active fight against seemingly over whelming odds. Representative Laurie McEachem, of Hoke, is quot ed as saying, “Passage of that bond issue bill is a great tribute to Lee Gravely and the work he put in it. Nobody thought this Legislature would vote for any bond issue. It wouldn’t have except for him.” The bill was introduced into the house by Representatives W. R. Clegg of Moore and E. A. Rasberry, of Greene and was then carried into the senate by Gavely, who outlined the plan and explained that the bill carried an appropriation of $10,000 for the first year and $100,000 the second year for maintenance pur poses, already taken care of Iby the joint appropriations committee. The Senate also passed a bill to establish a shoe factory at the iState Prison and the house passed a mea sure to increase the pay of election officials and received a bill to repay to state employes the 25 per cent salary cut they received during the last year of the Gardner administra tion. Last Check To Solons P'rom a reliable source it is found that the legislature of 1931, on its 62nd day of session, seems much nearer adjournment than does the legislature of 1935 today. Although nothing in particular has been done yet, the unsually dull session is still not in sight of an adjournment. It seems to be just getting started. This week in the legislative circles should by far prove to be the most interesting, as questions of liquor and stronger beer, the legislative in vestigation of the state’s punishment and neglect of two negro convicts, who lost their feet as a result, and taxes and expenditures head the list. The Hill (bill, which has captured the spotlight in this particular ses sion is due for a hearing Thursday. this idea with the above result. Dr. Gregg stated in an article some time ago that proper sanitation was the foundation for public health work and the success of his plans lay greatly in sanitary foundations. This, he stated to be true of communities and schools throughout the county. Randolph has for many years been well up toward the top of the list of counties in sanitary matters with few, if any, real epidemics. This con dition will be further aided by better sanitary conditions and the solving of several problems along this line, is the belief of the officers. Mr. Wylie was appointed as sani tary inspector for the county sever al months ago, after taking special by the state de Dr. Woodard’s Report Includes Many Constructive Recom mendations To Parents. Senior Play Now Imminent; A Comedy Seventh Grade State Exams Looked Forward To With Much Interest. The dental clinic, which closed in the Asheboro school this week after several weeks of active work, gives a staggering report of activity. Dr. W. 1m Woodard, dentist in charge of the clinic, reports 760 amalgam fillings; 226 cement bases; 1064 silv er nitrate treatments; 267 teeth ex tracted; 562 sets of teeth cleaned and 38 cavatie3 treated. The work went through the first five grades of the school and in cluded an amazing number of de fects in addition to dental work. Dr. Woodard reports that sixty per cent of the children examined show ed faulty breathing and forty per cent revealed nasal defects. Dr. Woodard, therefore, urges all par ents who have received cards from him to have children treated as ad vised. The doctor further advises that all children who have had the silver nitrate treatment on their baby teeth require the treatment re peated at least twice a year. This clinic was financed by the town and county jointly; the town of Asheboro meeting a third of the cost and the county handling two thirds. The school authorities are unhesitating in their recommenda tions that this splendid work started this year be a part of the yearly health program of the school. The early care of teeth is considered a valuable method of disease preven tion and health building. Senior Play The senioi class of the high school has selected the class play, “Here Comes Patricia.” This is a comedy in three acts that has been present ed in several high schools with marked success. It is a royalty play and bears an unusually interesting record in the places where it has been presented. Parts will be assigned very soon and rehearsals will begin as soon and the date announced for the pre sentation of the play. Miss Clara Gill and J. J. Sanderson will coach the play. Seventh Grade Exams Superintendent R. J. Hilker an nounces that the seventh grade pupils of Asheboro school will parti cipate in the state-wide seventh grade examinations. Mr. Hilker ex plains that these examinations are in the form of achivement tests that will be a determining factor in the promotion of pupils at the end of the year. He further states that the teachers and pupils of the school look forward to this test rather than dreading it, as was a former cus tom. The date for this event is set for Wednesday, March 20th. Kiwanis Club Has Program Taking Up Hosiery Industry mg end of the business. Full fash ioned hosiery received the major part of the discussion!. It was start ed in England in 1898 and came to the United States in 1908, getting started first in Pennsylvania and that state is still the leading hosiery state in the Union but North Caro lina comes second and is advancing rapidly in this position. Mr. Hill showed' some interesting pictures of the machines used in this manufacturing process and explained their operation in a most interesting manner after which he showed hosi ery in its various stages of manu facture and explained the different operations through _ which it passed before reaching the! consumer. JR. L. Hunch then took up the handling of the product to comply with the demands ‘ of the different large dealers. His discussion of the inside management, and organization for taking this process illustrated the efficiency necessary for its success. Following this he traced the details of finding markets on through the handling, billing, shipping and book keeping necessary in the industry. The subject was well handled and thoroughly enjoyed by the good at tendance present. Dr. Harvey L. Griffin reported for his under privileged child committee on the progress of the soup kitchen at the local school and that work was ordered continued. Thirty-seven are now enjoying this helpful project of the club and good reports come from the school and the teachers in charge of the work.
