BIG WOBK FUND
Washington, June »•—North
Carolina is doted to ret approxi
mately $50J0M0O as her share of
the four and a half billion dollars
work relief program the Roosevelt
administration plan to get under
way by July 1. The money will be
be used to take the 50,00® able
bodied men now on relief and put
them to work on useful projects
from which the public will benefit.
No definite amount has been allo
cated to a state, and at this time
no definite estimate can be made of
just how much money will be spent
in North Carolina- But those in
authority express the opinion that
it will be in the neighborhood of
fifty million. It may be a few mil
lion mors or a few million less.

North Carolinians in general and
the fourth congressional district in
particular is interested in the account
of Congressman Harold D. Cooley’s
maiden speech in the House of Repre
sentatives. Mr. Cooley’s plea was
strong for the pending amendments
to the Agricultural Adjustment Act
now pending in the House of Repre
sentatives, as he vigorously assailed
starvation prices.
While the strong appeal was re
jected and the opponents and critics
of the act offered no plans of their
own, Mr. Cooley’s stand has been
I greatly admired by his constituents
i ’‘back home.”
I Mr. Cooley was heard by an at
tentive House, although he spoke at
a late hour in the afternoon.#
It is not likely that any amend
ments particularly affecting or aim
ed at tobacco will be offered. The
committee, at its final meeting last
week, adopted a general provision
applying to all commodities, but par
ticularly aimed at flue-cured tobacco,
which provides for decreasing the pro
cessing tax on a commodity if the
price becomes so high as to restrict
consumption.

Corwith and by H. J. Itussell, a promi

sale, was with Mr. Corwith in 1930
when the plan was launched. At this

have run strangely true to prediction.

started off by giving the club a mind
picture of school conditions in 1900.
At that time there were 110 white
schools in the county, all of which,
with a few exceptions, being one
teacher affairs. It was the custom
for every prominent family to de
mand that a school be built on their
plantation.

consolidation grew and in 1923 the
State Legislature passed a law re
quiring that each county draw up a
plan of consolidation and submit it to
the citizenry of the county for ap
proval.

Health Officer
Warns Parents
Against Crowds
Since the cases of Infantile Par
alysis have begun to increase, the
State Board of Health has been
called upon to give advice concern
ing travel in North Carolina and
the advisability of attending sum
mer camps, etc., in the State. We
have advised that children under
fifteen years of age avoid crowds
regardless of whether Sunday
Schools, churches, theatres, sum
mer camps, picnics, parties, or
neighborhood gatherings. For this
reason swimming pools should also
not be patronized by this group.
All health departments have re
ceived the above instructions con
cerning Infantile Paralysis from
the State Board of Health Depart
ment, but our knowledge of Infan
tile Paralysis leads us to believe
that there is a possibility of there
being a greater number of cases
during the months of June and
July, with probably the peak of
incidence being reached in the first
two weeks of August. Therefore
we hope that the parents in Ashe
boro and Randolph county will co
operate with us in keeping their
children from public places.

At More Than 134.
North Carolina health officers have
enlisted aid from the federal govern
ment during the epidemic of infantile
paralysis, now prevalent in several
sections of the state. Dr. Carl Rey
nolds, state health officer and three
other medical men from the state
board of health have been in Wash
ington conferring with officials there
as to the best way to handle the cas
es now existing and to check the in
crease of new ones. A special meet
ing was called upon the arrival of
the North Carolina men by the sur
geon general and federal authorities
frankly expressed alarm at the situa
tion in this state. They pledged their
entire support and cooperation in any
plan that is decided upon after a care
ful and speedy survey of the situa
tion.
Meanwhile, the daily papers, es
pecially from the eastern part of this
state continue to report daily increase
in cases of this dreaded malady. Tues
day’s News and Observer chronicled
eight new cases. Sunday’s newspap
ers set the figures at 134 cases also
mentioning an increase in the num

The purpose of this meeting is
clearly set forth in four statements
sent to members of the council by the
county board of public welfare which
is composed of: Mr. Lloyd, superin

Miss May McAlister. The purposes
follow:
1. A better understanding of what
all the different organizations over the
county are doing for the welfare of
the people.
2. That there may be no overlap

3. That the public in general may|

More Than Eighty Cases Of
Property Improvment
In Asheboro.
Jurors Drawn For
July Court Term
Judge John Clement Will Pre
side Over Two Week’s Term
Court For Civil Cases.
The Randolph county board of com
missioners met Monday and Tuesday
as the board of equalization hearing
a large number of appeals and mak
ing many adjustments. All members
of the county board were present for
this meeting involving considerable
property valuation, especially in Ashe
boro township. It was decided that
the list takers in the various town
ships over Randolph county should
work this matter out with the prop
erty owners.
This equalization of property and
appraisal of improvements made on
property involved eighty, or more,
cases in this township, and a number
of reductions for the sale of timber.
The work was tedious and a matter of
voluminous details, but was worked
out with considerable satisfaction to
all parties concerned.
Another matter of county business
dispatched by the board at this call
session was the drawing of the jury
list for the two weeks term of civil
court to begin in Asheboro on Mon
day, July 15th. Judge John Clement
will preside over this term of court.

Principal Speaker,
The North Carolina Young Demo

29th. The State Executive Commit
tee will be called to convene, together
with the Committee on the Conven
tion, at Hotel Sir Walter on Thurs
day evening, June 27th, at 8:30 P. M,
The principal speaker of the oc
casion will be the Honorable Rush D.
Holt, the “Baby” of the Senate, of
West Virginia. Senator Holt is one
of the most outstanding Young Demo
crats, not only in the South, but in
the entire country. He was elected,
defeating an old line politician and
outstanding statesman, before he had
reached the age of 29. He will at
tain the constitutional age of a United
States Senator between now and the
State Convention. Senator Holt has
had office space in the Senate Office
Building assigned to him, as well as
desk space in the Senate Hall, but may
not be sworn in until he attains his
30th birthday, on June 19th. He is
said to be a speaker of rare charm,
is a thorough pre-administration Dem
ocrat, and will undoubtedly have a
singular appeal to the Young Demo
crats of the State. .
A number of red-hot controversies
will in all probability be slated for
deliberation.
