North Carolinians Enjoy An
Unusual Treat Tuesday Eve
(EDITORIAL)
An unusual treat was enjoyed by North Carolinians as
sembled from “Murphy to Manteo” Tuesday evening at the
state University at Chapel Hill when the graduating exercise
was held in Kenan Stadium. Unusual was the setting in the
amphitheatre at sunset when for the first time in the one hun
dred and forty years of history of the university, a woman made
the commencement address. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, wife
of the President of the United States, was this speaker who was
introduced by Ambassador Josephus Daniels, a favorite son of
North Carolina.
Mrs. Roosevelt’s magnetism and simple sincerity held the
large audience in perfect silence through an address of more
than forty-five minutes. Her challenge to the youth of the
state and of the graduating class, whom she definitely ad
dressed, was a blanket inspiration. In advising the members
of the class of 1935 to “think out new ways of doing things"
rather than waiting for trails to be blazed and made safe for
them, she sent out a mighty challenge to the youth of the land.
She urged the young people not to be satisfied with conditions
as they are—to go out in the world and make conditions better.
Her wonderful flair and accomplishment of knowing and lov
ing people ran spontaneously through Mrs. Roosevelt’s address.
She advised the class to “know your whole community”—not a
small clique, but all kinds of folk as she stressed community
service. Mrs. Roosevelt’s measure of success of a pe son is not
in personal achievement, but in service to human be ngs. The
first lady did not advise these young men and warned to go out
and serve in any half-hearted fashion, but rather tof know and
love people of all kinds in this country of ours. The under
current of the whole address was service.
Coupled with service was courage—courage to be misunder
stood in motive and to be willing to pay the price in disappoint
ments in people and to be misunderstood. “But,” she advised,
“be certain your stand is right and have courage not to be
swerved.” She further pointed out that we must pay the price
in taxes and in other civic measures, as we go forward, conclud
ing with an appeal not to be satisfied with things as they are.
“These are difficult times. We are more prosperous and hope
ful than a few years ago. But we, wrho look at realities—and
you graduates must look at realities—wTe cannot say we are
satisfied with our country, or things as they exist today.”

P. H. Morris Home
Razed To Ground
For Modern Edifice
This week a landmark of the
town is being razed—the home
of the late P. H. Morris on
Worth street. The house is be
ing tom down by the purchaser,
Charlie Heath who plans to haul
the material to Randleman where
he will erect two houses.
The lot was purchased some
time ago by John Clark who ex
pects to build a home there in the
future.
This Morris house was erected
in the winter of 1889 and the fam
ily moved into the house in March
of 1890. During this period, the
W. H. Moring, Col. W. P. Wood,
Col. J. E. Walker, Sam Bradshaw
and Nathan Slack homes were
built in various section of the
town.
The Morris home was consid
ered ideally modem in its day
when Mr. Morris and his family
moved into the house to make it
a home. To-day it is bowing its
head to a more modem structure
that promises to be one of the
many handsome homes of Ashe
boro.

I Inside of New Office Is Com
j modious And Modern Through
out From Basement Up.
Novel Features
Interest Citizens
Definite Orders For Moving Not
Received As Yet By Post
master J. O. Redding.
Asheboro is about to move into her
new postoffice. Carpenters, plaster
ers, painters and the like are clear
ing out and when a few remaining
articles of furniture arrive, the force
will move from the old stand—bag
and baggage. The inside is ready for
occupancy with the exception of a few
light bulbs and a bit of brushing up
in spots. It is indeed a source of
pride—this interior. All sorts of con
venient details were included in the in
side plants from a vault for old rec
ords in the basement, which is locat
ed hard by a modern heating plant—
to “peep-holes” for secret service men
and inspectors.
These peep-holes are located in the
rear of the main work room where
they look, to the casual observer, like
ventilators—but they are not. There
is an outside, side entrance through
the basement into a private office for
the inspectors, which is not entered
by any member of the local force. The
inspectors can, from this office, go up
a narrow staircase through the chim
ney and use the peep-holes to see what
is going on in the Asheboro office.
The main lobby, facing Sunset ave
nue, is entered through a steel and
glass cage to keep out winter cold
and summer heat. The lobby is com
modius, as are the other quarters, and
attractive from the tile floor to the
newly painted modem wall structure.
Ample desks, or tables, will be pro
vided for writing in the lobby. Win
dows for general delivery, parcel post
and stamps stand in a row immedi
ately in front of the entrance. A bit
j to the right is a steel case and lock
! window for registered mail. In this
| lock cage is a large safe of modern
design and structure.
The exact date for moving from the
I old building into the new is not given
as yet to Postmaster J. O. Redding,
but, he hopes to move during this
month as another quarter of rent will
begin in the old building on Fayette-,
ville street. Definite notice will be
posted in the postoffice as soon as.
Mr. Redding receives order from the
department in order that patrons may
secure boxes, keys and the like.
The present force will not be in
creased in the new quarters, it is un
derstood. The force is composed of:
J. O. Redding, postmaster; J. C.
, Bunch and R. A. Briles, and Mrs. Nita
' Burkhead, regular clerks; R. S. All
red, regular sub; Fred Kearns and
. Gorrell Sugg, temporary subs.

ber of the committee in charge of this
work, introduced the speaker of the

who has spent seventeen years in the
state of Virginia. Dr. Wheeldon dis
cussed methods of holding clinics with

work in this country.
Another interesting item of this
