Ramsesr, Arne 26.—The singing class of the (Oxford Orphanage gave a delightful program at the school build ing here Monday evening. These boys and girls always pot on a good en tertainment and have the loyal sup port «f Ramseur people. The Masonic fraternity did a noble work when it became 'the pioneer in orphanage work at Oxford years ago. The sympathy and love the Masons felt for orphan children kindled a kindred feeling in the hearts of all North Carolinians and many Other institutions have fol lowed in the care of helpless children.

WSrit made me glad"T was living, and yet made me feel unworthy df such' honor and kind attention as my good wife always remembers to give on my birthdays. Those enjoying the occasion were: Mr. and Mrs. R. C. White, Mr. and Mrs. N. F. Phillips, Mr. and'Mrs. W. T£. Marley and sons, and the family at home.

Hen watch the clock most when sleeping on the job* Conference Held To Decide How To Prevent Paralysis Dr. Gregg, County Health Of ficer, Reports Only One Case In Randolph County. Issues Warning Children Under Fifteen Years Of Afje Should Be Kept Away From All Public Gatherings. The Ministerial Union, Francis White, owner of the two Ashe boro theatres, and the county health officer Dr. A D. Gregg, met in a conference Tuesday morning to discuss the in fantile paralysis epidemic that is spreading through the state. The pur pose of the conference was to try to find out how this dreaded disease could he kept out of Randolph coun ty. At the present, only one official case in the county has been reported to the county health officer, that one being in the Gray’s Chapel section. Dr. Gregg, county health officer, states that although infantile paral ysis is one of the worst diseases, thero should be no cause for alarm at the present, if the necessary precautions were taken, such as keeping all chil dren under fifteen years of age away from Sunday school, picture shows, swimming pools, public gatherings in houses, etc., so as not to spread the disease. Dr. Gregg asks all parents who have children under fifteen years of age to please heed to this warning. No specific rules were laid down at this conference, but the group sin cerely bespeaks the wholehearted co operation of all the parents in the coun ty. According to Dr. Gregg, most of the infantile paralysis is found in the eastern part of the state, and for this reason he urges the people of Ran dolph not to visit the eastern coun ties and not to ask friends from there to visit here this summer. He further states that adults are also attacked by the germ, and they may carry the germs to children when they them selves are not brought down by the disease.

Asheboro Is Chosen For Next Meeting Of 15th District Lawyers Two Asheboro Attorneys Offi cers Of Association With Next President From Asheboro. Asheboro lawyers are looking for ward to next June when they will be hosts to the members of the fifteenth district bar association. The decision to hold the meeting next year in Ashe • boro was made at the district meet , held on Saturday in Salisbury. At the meeting Saturday, the bur den of the discussions carried the | idea that not enough was made of j the meeting, either in business or in I a social way and it was the unani- j mous decision of the group to com bine business and social in the next meeting. President Craig, of Salisbury, pre sided at the meeting with J. A. Spence, of Asheboro, vice president. John T.

No Successor Yet Selected For Post Redding Asks Ruthless Destruc tion of School Property To Be Curbed. Announcement comes from the lo cal school board, of which J. 0. Red ding is chairman, of the resignation of R. J. Hilker as superintendent of the Asheboro schools. Mr. Redding states that Superintendent Hilker re signed several weeks ago, but the res ignation was not of a formal nature and it was hoped that he would re consider. The resignation this week, however, has been in definite form this week and the board has accepted it with regret. There has been a long and varied line of progress of the school under the nine years regime of Mr. Hilker. Many innovations and additions have been made to the school and to the courses of study during this period. The business department and home economic work have both been out standing as has the health and citi zenship program. Perhaps the most perfect proof of Mr. Hilker’s splen did management and executive ability has been the fact that there has been so little “news” from the school un der his supervision. His method* were quiet and methodical, making for little room for lost motion of any kind. There are many people who have known Mr. Hilker’s fine work with Asheboro children during his nine years in the town who will re gret to lose him in the school life of Asheboro. It is not definitely known at this'time just what Mr. Hilker’s plans are at this time, but it is un derstood that he does not plan to continue school work. Unofficial ru mors are that he has secured a posi tion in the department of interior in Washington, D. C., where they have taken a house. While the town as a whole is grieved to lose Mr. Hilker, there is a double loss in losing Mrs. Hilker, who for years has been con tributing her splendid musical talent | to the to*sm in a most generous man ner. ■ • The board has a large number of applications under consideration from experienced school men from widely scattered localities. No decision has been made as yet, however, and will probably not be made for several I days yet. It is understood that all the lady teachers of the schStii feave been re-elected for next year, but that the choice of the men assistants will be left with the superintendent. Mr. Redding desires to call the at tention of the citizens of the town to the fact that many windows have been broken in the school building during the vacation period. This is, of course, a useless waste of property and should be ended immediately, one way or an other. The board has had considerable dis cussion concerning a much needed new building for the Asheboro children, hoping to secure one under the PWA fund available. Nothing of a definite nature is announced by the board at this time but they are most hopeful, as well as anxious, for success in se curing a new school building for Ashe boro. Mrs. Push 111 Mrs. Henry Pugh, of Asheboro, is seriously ill in the Randolph Hospital, Inc. Mrs. Pugh had the misfortune of falling several weeks ago and breaking a hip. At the time of her accident she had treatment for several days in the Randolph Hospital, but had been improved sufficiently to re turn to her home untiy Monday when her condition became critical and she was returned to the hospital.
