FLORIDA SENATOR DIES MONTH AFTER COLLEAGUE Washington.—Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida, 77, died in Washington Wednesday morning,' succumbing to a sudden heart at tack as he was preparing to leave his home for the capitol for another day of hard work. Fletcher was second only to Senator Borah in length of service in the senate, where he had served 27 years, 20 of which were with Park Trammell, | his Florida colleague, who died May 8. Senator Fletcher had appeared to be in good health, but it is believed that the strain of the long battle he fought for the Florida ship canal project was responsible for his death. heavyweight bout is POSTPONED BY RAIN New York.—Heavy rains Thurs day morning in New York caused the postponement of Joe Lows’ 15 round heavyweight bout with Max Schmeling until Friday evening.

The compromise would graduate the normal corporate income tax from 8 to 15 per cent and the levy on un distributed earnings would range from 6 or 7 per cent to 27 per cent. Pressure from the White House was thought to be behind the agree ment, which favored the original proposals of the bouse and will help small companies while raising materially the taxes on larger cor porations. middle west plagued BY GRASSHOPPER HORDES Deg Moines, Iowa.—Mid-Western grain fields are being threatened *ith complete destruction by swarms of grasshoppers in the worst plague since 1932.

The children have been flocking "to them before opening time and staying after clos ing hours, delighted with the op portunities for fun and play afforded them. A regular schedule, the same for both playgrounds, is being followed. In the morning the first hour, from 9 to 10 o’clock, is given over to free play. At this time the youngsters play ping pong, pitch horse shoes play bean bag games, and swing, while the smaller ones find the sandpilcs most entrancing. They follow their own inclinations and may pass the time in other activities than the more popular ones mentioned above, but the supervisors are always attentive to their welfare and see that they have something interesting to do. The second period, from 10 to 11, is devoted to organised games such as softball and “newcome”, a new adap tation of volleyball made especially at tractive to children. These give an opportunity for the children to develop team play and sportsmanship.

Rural Rehabilitation Program In Randolph Progressing Well Supervising Farm Purchase Plan! The rural rehabilitation program being carried out in Randolph county under the supervision of J. Robin Baucom and Mrs. Mildred A. Huskins| is making steady progress despite the j setback to the farmers caused by the i drought. Mr. Baucom and Mrs. Husk- j ins are working with 65 families,: located throughout the county, help ing them to put their resources to the, best use. These families are now receiving their monthly installments according to the spring and fall budgets out lined when the program was first set up. The supervisors are directing their j purchases so that the farmers will obtain better results than ever before, when haphazard buying was followed. All purchases are made from local concerns in order to keep the money within the county. Mr. Baucom is engaged with the supervision of farm purchasing, while Coach Doak Speaks For Kiwanis Club On Tuesday Evening Tells Of Progress Of Junior Legion Team And Chances For Winning Championship The feature speaker on the Kiwanis program at their meeting Tuesday was Charles “Chick” Doak, North Carolina State baseball coach who is helping the Asheboro Junior Legion team this season. In a very interest ing, informal manner, Coach Doak brought into his dicussion the national organization of baseball, activities of the Southern Conference, develop ment of intra-mural sports, and spectator interest in baseball. He also spoke of the progress being made by the Junior Legion nine, which he thinks has a good chance of win ning the championship. Rufus Routh mentioned that he and Doak are trying to form at least two teams of boys too young for regular competition as yet. This would afford encouragement for the younger boys and would give valuable training until they could join the ranks of the re gular squad. Visitors at this meeting were Ernest Spencer, of Muncie, Indiana, and Clarence Lovett, who were the guests of J. M. Neely. Bob Bunch ana Walter Yow had charge of the pro gram.

Hoey Again Names Hubert Olive For Campaign Manager “Let’s Finish The Job” Is Slogan Thrown Out By Olive As Challenge To Friends Hoey Staff Pleased Still A Lot Of Work To Be Done And Support Of North Caro lina Democrats Is Asked Raleigh, June 18.—“Let’s finish the job.” Th^-t is the slogan of Hoey-for govemor workers all over the state these days, said Hubert E. Olive, manager of Clyde Hoey’s campaign for the Democratic nomination for governor. “Working in harness with the men and women who did such splendid work for Sandy Graham, we are go ing ahead at full speed,’' the manager continued. “Mr. Hoey and myself have been delighted with the response of the Graham forces, 90 per cent of which are continuing their fight against McDonaldism. Instead of hav ing a le£ down following the first pri mary, we picked up speed, due to the help of the Graham workers.” Members of Hoey headquarters staff here said they were glad that McDonald called for a second pri mary. It is their contention that a second primary was necessary to “finish the job” begun by Hoey, Gra ham and McRae camps during the first primary. They even tell a story that Marshal Foch, head of the Allied forces during the World War, wept when Germany signed the armistice because he believed that it would be to the benefit of the entire world to (Pleas* turn to page 4) Legion Commander Requests Members Pay Pledges Soon R. L. Briles, commander of Ben Dixon Post No. 45, issued a statement Thursday of interest to all local mem bers of the American Legion. He desires all those who have subscribed, or who intend to subscribe, to the fund for the Legion hut to pay their pledges as soon as possible to James B. Neely, treasurer of the building fund. Veterans who have just received their bonus bonds will probably be glad to make this one of the first uses to which they put their money in order that the hut may be erected President Roosevelt Broke Pre cedent By Going To Chicago To Receive Notification Exactly Presented At Franklin Field, 27th Roosevelt Nomination To Have Sam Her Meetings Simultane ously All Over Country In 1932 Nominee Franklin D. Roosevelt broke a precedent by going before the Democratic national con vention at Chicago to receive the notification of his nomination for president the day it was made, and to respond from the convention plat form with his speech of acceptance. In 1936 President Franklin D. Roosevelt will break another prece dent when, on receiving notification of his renomination by the Democratic national convention at Philadelphia, he will deliver his address of accept ance in the open air at Franklin Field before the convention itself and a gigantic rally of Democrats. He would I appear before 15,000 delegates and ! spectators if he spoke in Convention Hall. At Franklin Field he will be looking into the faces of 100,000 people when he lifts his voice for them and the listening millions every where in the land to hear him open the Democratic national campaign. The national convention will be exactly presented in its out-of-doors session in Franklin Field the evening of June 27th. The diagram and ap pearance of the floor will be the same as if the convention were meeting in its hall. The state delegations will have their relative places around the placard standards which marked their position at the indoor sessions. The presiding officers, awaiting the presi dent, will direct the assembly from their usual rostrum. The bands which were in the galleries of convention hall, augumented by many more, will flank the rostrum and be strategically scattered around the grounds. Ser geants-at-arms will do their best to keep the convention aisles open for the delegates, and will see that the con vention has an island to itself. The public will throng around that island and pack the field to its limits. Bright lights will shine on the vivid scene and bring out the colors of countless flags and banners. This great central rally in Franklin Field will be reproduced without the convention in over 20 of the greatest cities in the country. Arrangements have already been made for great meetings in baseball fields, stadiums and convention halls. The Roosevelt Nominators hope to have similar smaller rallies in prac tically every city and town in the country. In smaller cities these rallies may take the form of outdoor meet ings, or assemblies in hotel ballrooms or town halls, and some cities are even planning evening outdoor barbecues and picnics. All of these rallies, large and small, will have their own pro gram of entertainment. The universal feature of all these national rallies will be the reception of the president’s address by radio. For the purpose of conducting these national rallies simultaneously with the one at Franklin Field, there is being created a great nation-wide organization known as the Roosevelt Nominators. Its slogan is “I Want Roosevelt Again.” Membership in the Roosevelt Nominators which includes admission to the local rally will be acquired by the payment of $1.00 or more to the local organization. The member's name, together with his contribution, will be registered on the Roosevelt Nominators enrollment roster which, after the convention, will be presented to President Roosevelt. The ticket will be issued in two parts One-half will be a certificate of mem bership as an original Roosevelt Nominator to be paid for, signed and retained by the member. The other half will be the free ticket which en titles the holder to admission to the rally. The Roosevelt Nominators will ac complish two purposes. First, they will have raised by the very day of the president’s nomination, a sub stantial part of the national campaign fund, and second, they will launch that campaign with victory rallies in cities and towns throughout the country by giving assemblages of local Democrats, and all those who want to have a part in President Roosevelt’s re-election, the opport unity of hearing and receiving in spiration from the president’s address of acceptance. All of these meetings will be held Simultaneously on the evening of Saturday, June 27th. The president will begin speaking over the radio from Philadelphia at approximately 10:00 p. m. eastern daylight time, and all local chairmen should check with their nearest broadcasting station as to the exact time the speech will be received in their area.
