A. Caddis was named superin tendent at the city streets. Mr. Gaddis, Who has been employed for sometime as supervisor of the WPA work at the golf course, will assume his new duties as: soon as he cart be released from Ms present dirties. This wiO probably, be the latter part of the week. There has been a great need for anall-time supervisor of this type is the reason for the ap pointment of Mr. Gaddis, who is ex perienced in street work. An important matter dispatched br the city commissioners was the authority to begin, at an early ,da£§», the construction of a 12 inch pipe line from the city pond, known as number 1, to the. reservoir in the city. This line will replace the present ' in adequate 8 inch pipe lines supplying Asheboro. Sometime ago the city applied for n PWA grant and loan for a new pump line to enlarge the present system and for laying 9,000 feet of watermains within the city, as well as some sewer extensions. It was not possible however, to secure this grant and loan, so the wdrk will be done at the expense of the town. A WPA sewer extension project will begin shortly in Asheboro. The present plan, calls for the laying of 8,000 feet of sewer line within the city limits. Most of this—about 7,000 feet,-in fact—will be laid In the northwest section of the town, in a •action northwest of the Home Build ing Material company. A short strip, about 1,000 feet, will be laid in south Asheboro. This sewer line ip north west. Asheboro is in a thidtiy settled ___ the im provement. This work will be done (rith WPA labor and equipment until the town furnishing the materials.. At the next meeting of the city council, proposals for a rite for a new cemetery will be considered. There Is little, or no, available apace in the present cemetery of Asheboro. County Sanitation Project Under WPA Going Forward Now a The Randolph amity WPA sanita tion project, which has been at a standstill for. sometime because 'at prevailing weather conditions, has now resumed its work and about 15 privies are being complete*! each week. Any property owner who desires to have a sanitary privy erected on his property should get in touch with Dr. Sumner. Randolph county health officer at the courthouse in Asheboro. The WPA supplies the labor for the construction of the privies free of charge; thus by furnishing the build ing materials the property owner may have.a sanitary privy constructed on his property at a minimum charge. It is Indeed a most opportune time for eitisena who are property owners to improve the sanitation on their rural, land holdings and at the same time aid in a assail way both our local and national governments in one of their greatest problems—unem ployment Crippled Children’s Clinic The seventh dink for crippled children in Randolph county will be held at the Randolph Hospital, Inc., on Thursday, March 5th.

Ebccept for the right to vote, the liberty and privileges accorded women under the constitution, Mrs. Great house declares, are substantially those, of the women of England in 1789, since its provisions are formed in the language of the English ,law and in terpreted by the Supreme Court on that basis. She says that various state have modified these provisions by separate statues, but the long and tedious procedures necessary could greatly expedited by the adoption of. the proposed constitutional amend ment giving women the same legal rights as men. “For instance” she explains, “there (Please turn to 8) LOCAL OFFICERS MAKE LARGE HAUL SATURDAY • • s .. , Albert Wilson, operator of the Shady Grove filling station, located mid-way between Randleman and Asheboro, was arrested Saturday afternoon by Deputies Pearl Barnes and Clifford Myers and lodged in jail here on charges of possessing whisky, following a raid made on his filling station. * He was released under bond.

With the coming of fair weather, Reginald Turner, superintendent of the Asheboro school, is emphasizing attendance. The city school, unlike | many other schools, has only lost two days during the entire winter months. The attendance during thip year sets the number of teachers for next year’s school. •• ' Several attendance contests art in progress in certain sections and grades of the local school with con siderable enthusiasm. In this way Mr. Turner and his faculty, hope to pull tiie attendance back to normal, and above, if possible. Mr. Turner asks the cooperation of parents and all school patrons in this important matter. . " i - Park Street Location Now Selected For Placing Asheboro School Begin Activities On Site Early Next Week Ten Rooms With Offices And Auditorium Will Relieve Present Congestion , Possibly the announcement of in* tentions to begin work on the new school building for Asheboro next week holds interest to more people than almost any news of the town. According to T. F. Bulla, superin tendent of education in the county, work clearing the ground will com mence early next week. The location of the new building will not be on the Lewis field, as was previously- stated, but on a lot on Park street A&g** from Frazier park. The reason for this change of loca tion is chiefly because of the with drawal of certain funds promised for the larger lot on Sunset avenue. After this matter came to the attention of the county commissioners, the county board of education and the local school board, it was necessary to look about for another tot with an east and west exposure since the plans of the building called for this light ex posure. The contract for the erection of the building was given ou Decem ber 19, 1936. The building will be of brick, ten rooms and auditorium, music rooms, offices and rest rooms, lie total cost is estimated at something over $40y> 000, including equipment, heat, etc, the lot is small, too small for any future development whatever and the building is being erected with the understanding that an underpass be built across to the park. This, to save the space for X small playground for the children. Often has the great need of sac It a building been discussed in the town and'it is with considerable satisfbc* tion that the building is now about to become a reality. The school will probably bo known as the Park street elementary school and will relievo the Mngestodoanditions exiting at pro. sent iff theMm* World Day Of Prayer For Peace Planned In Asheboro Friday Methodist Protestant Churefc Will Be Open All Day; Serf vice At Friends In Evp World day prayer for peace will ho observed in Asheboro on Friday to accordance with the national plan.

The fact that no program is planned for this week will probably not deter those who are sufficiently interested in the plan to stop by the church at sometime during the day.
