Light Thrown On Reason For Gose Of Baucom’s Office Regional Office At Raleigh Announces General Con solidation Policy Increase Economy Nothing Definite Concerning Future Assignments Of Baucom And Helper's A statement issued Wednesday from the regional office of the Re settlement administration at Raleigh explains to some extent the sudden closing of the Randolph county Resettlement office last week. On August 25, about two weeks after he had received notice to release Mrs. Mildred Huskins, who was in charge of the rural women and home planning for the rehabilitation program, and Mrs. Minnie Lee McFadden, secretary, J. Robin BaucorH, county rehabilita tion supervisor, was ordered to close up the office. No definite reason for the action was given at the time, but accord ing to the present announcement it is part of a wide-spread consoli dation of activities in the interest of increased efficiency and econo my. A large part of the clerical work of the rehabilitation offices of the Resettlement administration in all the state included in Region 4 is being transferred to the Raleigh office, and this transfer includes the state loan and state farm plan examining offices. Since this order affects North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, it is evident that Asheboro is not the only sufferer. Just how the projects in this county will be supervised has not yet been revealed, though it is ex pected that they will be directed from the Greensboro office, as was done before Mr. Baucom’s arrival. It has not been learned what as signment he will receive now,but in line with the policy stated in the announcement he will probably be located in the Raleigh office. “The work of these offices, largely clerical, will became a function of the regional office in stead of the several state offices, thus relieving state “directors of clerical detail, leaving them free to spend their time in the supervi sion and guidance of the Rehabili tation program in their respective states,” Regional Director George S. Mitchell said in explaining the move. To avoid duplication of work, it was further explained, Resettle ment administration accounting, in accordance with recent changes, is now being handled by the Treasury Accounts office here for the entire region. Prompt handling of loans for clients makes it necessary to consolidate the loan and farm plan examining offices in close proximi ty to the Treasury office. “The change will also enable us to bring about considerable saving in ad ministrative cost,” the director said. > While it is admitted that the change will result in a reduction of (Continued from page 2) McCrary, Bossonff Make Even Match For Battle Today Statistics Give McCrary Edge In Pitching And Team Batting With Bossong and McCrary all set for the opening gun for the championship of the Inter-City league, only the fool-hardy would venture to pick the winner. Each team dominated the race during the half it won. Many are of the opinion that Bossong was merely coasting in the second half and can heat McCrary as it did in the first half. Others point to the fact that the Eagles are now at the top of their stride and do not believe the Indians can recover their early season supremacy. McCrary leads the league in team batting with a mark of .275, while Bossopg is third with a .266 percentage. The Eagles boast the two highest pitchers who have been twirling regularly. Briggs has won 9 and lost 1 for a .900 average, and Calloway has a .786 average, with 11 wins and 3 losses. Just behind them is Lanier, of Bossong, who has won 11 and dropped 6 for .688. McFadden of the Eagles has won 6 and lost 4. Wentz of the Indians has turned in 8 victories, but has lost 6 games. Among, individual batters who have played Ihe entire season Hal Johnson of Bossong is tops with .389, though Riley of Ragan Maurice is the nominal leader with .397. Other regulars on the two rival Asheboro clubs who are bat ting in the magic .300 class are. Burge, McCrary, .311; Newman, Bossong, .328; Short, McCrary, .324; Griffin McCrary, ,820; Briggs, MoCrary, .308; and Jarfett, Bos song, .302. , / i IChurch Hides Spanish Snipers Silhouetted against the sky, Loyalist soldiers in Spain’s bitter civil war, are pictured using a village <hurch as a fortress as they fire on Fascist rebel troops in the Guad; rrama mountain district, in de fense of Madrid.

Captain Charles D. Farmer, head of the patrol, predicts that this state wide radio system for the patrol will reduce thefs by several mil lion dollars annually and “would run highwaymen, bank robbers and hijackers of North Carolina roads.’’ The advisory budget commission appropriated the funds for the radio set-up on Tuesday and plans immediately were put in motion with decided rapidity. Captain Farmer announced the Federal Communications board had assigned a wavelength of 1706 kilo cycles to the state’s five proposed transmitting stations. Fourteen trained radio operators will be added to the staff of the highway patrol, he said. “We have 3,000 automobiles stolen every year in this state,” he said. “We believe the radio system will reduce this number by 75 per cent, which would result in a sav ing of approximately $1,260,000. We think the system will enable us to recover at least $500,000 worth of stolen goods a year.” Eaddy, Miss Georgia Warren, Miss Louise Hunt, Mrs. Vida H.

Mr. Turner wishes to remind parents that children to be eligible for school must be six on or be fore October 1. He also urged parents to have their children at tend school fFom the very first day, as this will not only be of advant ago to them in their schooling, but will also help the .school with its enrollment problems. This wil prevent over-crowding by getting the children assigned properly at the beginning, and furthermore the school may possibly get another teacher if the enrollment is large enough,, which would reduce any (Please turn to Page 2) Randleman News Contains Many Business Items Miss Mary Upton And Bill Pegram Married; Reside In Randleman Motorcycle Trip Chief Of Police Wyatt And Bob Stevens Buying And Selling Hogs Randleman, Sept. 3. — Mrs. Arthur Swaim of Atlanta, Ga., is visiting friends and relatives here this week. Tom Pugh of Staunton, Va., is visiting his sister, Miss Bertha Pugh, here. W. D. Hannon has accepted a position as superintendent of the cotton mill at Coleridge where they make yarns. Miss Mary Upton, daughter of John Upton, was united in mar riage to Bill Pegram. They are making their home here for the time being. Carl Redding and Lindsay Snyder were in town this week looking over the farm recently purchased by Mr. Snyder. John Fox is building a nice bungalow in South Randleman near the old Bostick homeplace. It will be modern and up to date when John puts the finishing touch on it. John Lamb and Tom Moser, who recently sold their service station at White Hall took a flying trip north this week on their motor cycle taking in the sights in Washington and Philadelphia while gone. Gray Lamb and Paul. Jarrell, feeling the need of a way to trans port their live stock, went out and traded Claude Holden out of his trailer. One can get free delivery service now from this live stock firm. Joe Swaim, the noted fox hunter and fisherman, has bought a Ford coupe to use on his hunting and fishing trips. He reports a big catch of 28 pounds of fish one day this week, so Gray Lamb says. Pretty big fish tale, eh? Joe also tells a big tale about seeing Dan Stalker carry 300 brick in a bar rel up on a scaffold when they were building Plaidville factory. This would be about 1200 to 1500 pounds which would be a pretty big load for one man, we think. If you are going to tell one, tell a big one. Chief of police Wyatt and Bob Stevens are playing the hog mar ket pretty strong these days, buy ing and selling on the Galax, Va., and Greensboro live stock markets.

(Please tarn to Page 8) “Hot Speech” Causes Small Fire In Automobile Seat Under Manuscript Pays Brief Visit To Asheboro Friends Would Speak In Randolph; Will Attend Two Big State Rallies In September In his characteristic breezy* friendly fashion, Senator Bob Rey nolds visited friends in Ashebdro Thursday. The Senator was travel ing in his Ford car in company ...... with Colonel Cadson of Washing ton. Senator Reynolds’ visit in Ran dolph was brief this time, for the reason that he was enroute to Mt. Pleasant church in Cabarrus to speak at a family reunion there, but he stayed long enough to greet several old friends and new ones as well. The Senator had been de layed before he reached Asheboro because of a fire in the back seat of his car which appeared to catch for no good reason. Senator Bob’s explanation of the affair, however, is quite Reynoldesque and amusing. Avering that no stray cigarette butt caused the conflagration, the only explanation that suited the Senator was that his speech, pre pared for the reunion, was so hot that it started the fire. Little damage was done, however, and it made a good story for a dreary, rainy day, such as Thursday. Possibly the heat from the speech came from Senator Rey nolds’ warm enthusiasm for the present Democratic administration, for he is a-New Deal enthusiast. Or, possibly his fervor against the aliens in our midst caused the fire —unless it could be just Reynolds zest and warm enthusiasm for all things Democratic. It is a hobby of Senator Bob’s at the moment to speak in small places and he indicated that he would be glad to speak in Ran dolph, at some reunion or juftfc n'ti plain political speech, which it would be anyway. This devotion to rural folk and their interests does not mean that he does not plan to attend the Green Pastures conclave in Charlotte nor the big rally and love feast at the Municipal Lake at High Point on September 18th— but the Senator is distinctly rural at the moment. Man Thought To Be Intoxicated Dies . From Poison Dose J. 15. Farrell, Textile Worker Of Schoolfield, Va., Leaves Wife Note Because Danville police thought he was intoxicated and put him m jail without medical treatment. J. B. Farrell, 25-year-old textile worker of Schoolfield, Virginia, died from the effects of poison an hour after he was picked up early Tuesday morning. It is said that only when his cellmate noticed that his breathing had stopped was any attention paid to his condition. Busy clerks at Franklin’s drug store paid scant attention to h ar-' rel when he entered the store. He had the appearance of being slightly inebriated the police were told. When Farrell placed on the counter an empty bottle which once had contained a commercial fluid which is poisonous he went out but returned later and asked one of the druggists to call the police. Officers responded and finding Far rell unsteady in his gait on the sidewalk arrested him. City Coron er Wiseman held Farrell had died from drinking an antiseptic solu tion. Coroner Wiseman, in declaring the case to be suicide said that a note to his wife in which he clearly indicated the intention of self de struction was taken out of the man’s pocket while, dying, he was being booked in the jail. The note was found among his effects de posited at police headquarters. Mrs. Fsfrrell told the coroner that her husband was drinking when he left home last night. The note said that he expected to see his wife in the hereafter. Visiting Relatives Miss Louella Lowe, Miss Madge and Miss Mozelle Johnson, of Washington, D.
