Tuesday, May 7th Date For Citizens To Vote For Officials Tuesday, May 7th, Asheboro will go to the polls to vote for a city ticket for the first time un der the newly enacted law which provides for the selection of offi cers under a primary system. This new method replaces the old manner of the election of muni cipal officers by a mass meeting of Asheboro citizens. The time for filing of new can didates for the offices expired on Friday, April 19, with no names entered. This leaves the present officers composing the only ticket for election. There are three names of school board members, however, to be added to this list on the ticket. While there is no opposing tick et to the present candidates, it behooves the citizens of Asheboro to go out and vote for these offi cers who have the affairs of the town of Asheboro in their keep ing. Their whole-hearted service to the town and her citizens would be better worth while if a com plimentary vote were extended to them on this election day. Mrs. J. M.

Cranford And McCrary Named Co-Chairmen Donald Ross, Noted Golfer, Ap» proves Location As Excellent For Proposed Course. Asheboro has become sports con* scious recently. Baseball has always been a favorite among the high school boys as well as the men of the town. Thirty days ago, however, a public meeting was held at the court house for the purpose of discussing a muni* cipal golf course for Asheboro. Ed Cranford and Frank McCrary were made co-chairman of the meet* ing, also of a golf finance committee to raise money for materials for the proposed golf course. These two chair men, in turn, named three other mem bers of the committee. They are, W» J. Armfield, III., William Underwood and Francis White. The plan provides for the course to be made with ERA labor with dona tions by the citizens of Asheboro suf ficient for the materials. More than two thousand dollars has already been raised by members of the committee and the remaining items necessary to the beginning of actual work on the course are the approval of the eity fathers and ERA authorities in Ral eigh. The matter was one of the chief discussions of interest at the meeting of the town board held on Monday evening, the result of which will pro bably be announced in the next issue of The Courier. It is hoped by the co chairmen that if the city fathers ap prove, they will soon be able to ob tain the approval of the ERA officials which will settle the matter of labor. Within the past week, the interna tionally famous golf authority, Don ald Ross, of Pinehurst, has been i» Asheboro for a conference with the leaders of this movement. Mr. Ross was taken to inspect the locations of fered for the municipal course and his preference was the A. I. Ferre* tract of land located along highway 70, a mile and a half south of town. The (tract is known «fc the Me Aden land. Mr. Ross has the supervision of more than 600 golf courses to his credit from Canada to Mexico. He is also well known in European coun tries where he is a recognized author ity. To the people of Asheboro who are not familiar with the proposed plans for the course, it will be interesting to know that there will be no club dues nor membership in this municipal course. Any person may play who cares to upon the payment of a smalt green fee. There are a great many people in Randolph county who are interested in playing golf and this municipal course will afford the op portunity at a nominal fee. Painting Program Is Inaugurated By Standard Oil Co. F. T. Erwin, supervising salesman for this territory in charge of E9S0 Stations for the Standard Oil Co., of N. J., was a Courier visitor Saturday. Mr. Erwin was enthusiastic over his compay’s painting program which will turn loose approximately $25, 000 throughout the state. Of thi» program he said: “It is our desire to have our Esso Stations in as excellent physical con dition as possible in order to continue to merit the largest share of the pot ential petroleum business in North Carolina and take full advantage of our large forthcoming newspaper campaign,” stated Mr. Erwin. “The painting program will take approximately ten days to complete and will put Esso Stations and deal ers throughout the State in fine shape. The work is going on simultaneously throughout North Carolina and is an annual policy of the Esso marketer* throughout their territory.” Box Party Saturday evening, April 27th, at 8 o’clock, there will be an old time bog party at Tabernacle school house.
