Annual Randolph County Fair To Open At Fair Grounds Tuesday, Sept. 24th Just once a year is Asheboro really at her best, as is the case at Fairtime. Hot weather is almost over, fruits and vegetables are not so abundant, but are superior in quality. Everybody has saved the best of the crops for display and the fair will be the best ever! Randolph county has many and var ied industries. All these will be on dis play in attractive array. A five-day program filled with entertainment and amusement as well as educational ex hibits—all await the throngs who will congregate for this annual event. The fair officials have anticipated the crowds that will come and have ar ranged free parking space for automo biles. This will be quite a drawing card and a convenience to the many people who have been worried by try ing to find parking space previously. The program promises to be the best ever, as well as the most varied. On Tuesday, the opening day, all Text Book Rental Is Most Im portant Innovation In Plans For Fall Session Younger Children Will Be Accepted Registrations Will Be Made In Shifts To Expedite Machin ery On Opening Day The schools of Asheboro, for both white and colored children open again today after a longer vacation than is usually the case. Detailed announce ments of several innovations and changes in the usual routine, were an nounced through the columns of this newspaper last week. There are a few additional points called attention to, however, by Reginald Turner, now su perintendent of the school. The most important change is in the matter of getting text-books. These can be purchased new, bought second handed, or rented from the school book room. Last week the superinten dent received a large order from the State Textbook Purchase and Rental Commission by motor express. This week the superintendent and several members of the faculty have been busily engaged in tinpacking, stamp ing, shelving books, and attending to the various other details connected with the preparations for opening school. It is likely that no books will be rented the first day of school as some time will be required for pupils to determine what books they want to buy second handed and what books they want to rent or buy new. ■Nearly all books used in the ele mentary school will be available for rent. A few books, however, such as workbooks and other supplementary material cannot be rented and will still have to be bought. In the high school not more than half the books are available for rent. This is because the state has adopted books for state wide use in only three departments of the high school. These departments in which text-books may be rented are < 1) History and Social Science (2) Natural Science, and (8) Home Eco nomics.

Free acts and free shows will be Building & Loan Plans Open New Series October 1st Lee M. Kearns, Secretary-Treas urer, Reports Successful Year For Association Large Loans Made Outlook For New Series Best In History Of Organization; Many People Interested According to Lee M. Kearns, secre tary-treasurer of the Randolph Build ing and Loan company, the twenty seventh series of that organization will open on October 1st. At a meeting of the board of directors, held Tues day evening, it was decided to open the new series at this time. This deci sion was arrived at because of the de mand of various persons wishing to subscribe to the series. The year’s outlook for the fall is unusually good, with many inquiries already in concerning subscriptions to the new series. Mr. Kearns predicts that this one will be the largest in the history of the association. The reports at the recent director’s I meeting, indicated that the organiza tion loaned more money during the twelve months just passed than at any previous time recorded by the organi zation. This money was expended in I the town and county on the erection of new homes and the improvement of old ones. It was further reported at the meet ing that the books, recently audited by the state department, were found in excellent shape. Very few stock holders were found to be in arrears and there were only a few foreclos ures during the year. During the past year, it was report ed, that more than fifty-four thous and dollars were loaned for repairs and new buildings. This is the larg est amount of money ever loaned dur ing a single year since the formation of the organization. Asheboro and Randolph county are indeed fortunate in having two such substantial organizations of this type. The Randolph county association, serving both the town and county, is younger than the Asheboro Building and Loan, but both serve the citizens in an adequate and satisfactory man ner.

All the children partaking of this soup were under weight when it was started and remarkable gains resulted, running as high as ten pounds in most outstanding cases. Cases were report ed that during the three months some gained back to normal. These marve I lous results in improvement in health and disease resistance reflected them selves prominently in scholastic pro gress where appreciable gains like I wise resulted. | Mr. Turner explained that one of i the major objectives of our education al system is to look first after the I health of the children and this work j of the club proved to be of inestimable value and came at a time of specific need.
