Bulla Will Be In Charge County Schools Off With Good Start, According To The Superintendent T. Fletcher Bulla, county super intendent of schools, has announc ed that a meeting of teachers of the county system will be held in the Asheboro high school auditor ium at 10 o’clock Saturday morn ing. This is the first meeting of the county teachers during the new session, although a meeting of principals was held shortly be fore the opening of the schools. There will be no formal pro gram. Superintendent Bulla will have charge of the session, which will be devoted chiefly to the dis cussion of routine school matters. The matter of extension courses will also be brought up. Reginald Turner, city superin tendent, said that some of the teachers in the city system would probably attend this meeting also. Mr. Bulla expressed himself as being highly delighed with the manner in which the schools are progressing this fall. They have got into good working order with fewer problems than he had anti cipated and fewer than usual, and these difficulties have been ironed out with a minimum of trouble. Attendance figures all over the county are particularly good, though Mr. Bulla could give out no exact figures, all schools not having sent in reports. The new schools are full and are operating satisfactorily. Attendance at Cole ridge is especially large, and citizens there are already consider ing a request for an addition to their school building. Mr. Bulla hopes that the county will be granted about four additional teachers because of the ijcAased attendancerThe schools must""Rave been open for two weeks before these requests may be made, and it takes some little time for them to be approved and for the added teachers to be assigned. The book rental system is work ing very well and is immensely popular with the children and their parents. The number of school texts rented this fall is about a third larger than last year, while the sales have dropped. Mr. Bulla said that he expected this tendency to continue to manifest itself since the cost of renting the books is only one third that of buying them. Some few books cannot be supplied just now because of pub lishers’ shortages, but in general the school children are well sup plied. First Fall Meet Asheboro P.-T. A. Monday, Sept. 28th The first meeting of the Ashe boro Parent-Teachers association will be held in the high school auditorium at 7:30 Monday even ing, September 28th. Mrs. J. T. Pugh, chairman of the attendance committee, is inviting all parents and interested citizens to this meet ing. v/ The meeting will not last more than an hour and a large enthu siastic group is expected to be on hand. It will be an informal ses sion and in part a social occasion, affording the parents their first opportunity to get acquainted with the teachers of their children. Local Grocery Stores Change From Covington-Prevost To Prevost Stores Of Asheboro For fifteen years, the grocery store, known in recent years as Covington-Prevost store, has serv ed Asheboro and Randolph county folk—and from the same location. This first store, for there are now more, is located at the intersection of Fayetteville and Trade streets. In this location, J. W. Prevost has done grocery business for the past fifteen years. Coming to Asheboro from Worthville fifteen years ago the first of September, Mr. Prevost has continued to serve the public. W. C. Covington, also a well known merchant of the town and county has been associat ed in business with Mr. Prevost until recently, the management changed. _ On September 16th J. W.

Tobacco was high. With a medium break of 178,976 pounds, the floors of the ware houses were cleared at 4:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon with tobacco averaging $27.01 per hundred pounds. “The highest since 1934,” one farmer on the Sanford market was heard to say. “Since 1934?” queried another. “The best since 1919.” With one of the best sets of buyers on the market this year that Sanford has ever had, this high average of the opening day is expected to remain at the high mark—unless more of the common, dark leaf that pulled the average down Tuesday flood the market. The four large warehouses in Sanford have proven that they can market well over 200,000 pounds in one day and so, with opening break over, there is no fear here of a blocked Vnarket at any time this season. Many were in Sanford to watch the sales, -rather than to sell. Satis fied with what they saw, they hurried home to bring their leaf to the market the following days. flood cutters were bringing the best prices at Sanford, ranging from forty to fifty cents a pound. Lugs were selling high also. Med ium quality wrapper was bringing up to 65 and 70 cents a pound. Siler City Youth Instantly Killed While Riding Truck Walter D. Clark, 21, of Siler City, was run over and killed Wednesday morning by . a large trailer-truck in High Point. He was riding in the truck, driven by Carl L. Siler of Silk Hope, when, ac cording to Siler, he noticed a spare tire in the trailer slipping off. He crawled back to catch it and evi dently slipped and fell under the trailer. Siler heard him cry and stopped the truck as quickly as possible, but the front wheel of the trailer hail already passed over Clark, crushing his head and chest. He was dead by the time he reach ed Clinic hospital, though rushed there immediately by an ambu lance. The truck had just come from Baltimore with a load of wheat and had delivered it at the North State Milling company and was continuing to Siler City when the accident occurred. Siler was placed under a $500 bond on a charge of manslaughter,, pending trial in city court September 30. more than just the one store, for about six years ago a second store was opened by the companp. This was the Peoples’ Store, across the railroad track on Sunset avenue. And, a year later, C. and P. Food Store was opened in North Ashe boro. The three stores have oper ated continuously since they were opened and will continue to oper ate under the new management. The only difference ip the stores, that will be observed by the public, will be the change in name to Pre vost Stores and the improvements planned by J. W. Prevost, manager of the three grocery stores. It is Mr. Prevost’s plan to carry a varied line of fresh and canned groceries and meats and serve the people of this section better than in the past fifteen years, during which time he has made many staunch friends for himself and for his business.

C. Has Good Percentage While Others Chiefly Tar Heels Houston A. Rawing brings up an interesting point in his sports column, “Firing At Random”, in the Greensboro Record—-just how many of the football luminaries on the squads of North Carolina’s Big Five are native Tar Heels ? Lawing has pored over the rosteVs of these teams and come up with some figures that may not be so welcpme to the loyal supporters of some of them. It appears that Duke and State have a rather surprising out-of state representation on their squads. Only 9 of the 47 players on the latter’s roster hail from the good old North State, and only three of these are on what is con sidered the first team. Of Duke’s 37 leading players just 7 are from North Carolina. The only one likely to be in the lineup when Duke meets Colgate Saturday is Elmore Hackney, a Durham boy. The University of North Caro lina shows a good percentage of home state hoys on the squad, 37 out of a total of 55. Considering probable starting lineups, how ever, the view is not so good, for only four North Carolinians are expected to he in at the opening. Davidson and Wake Forest are both largely composed of home talent. Davidson has 27 state re (Please turn to Page 8) Semi-Annual Thank Offering Service On Sunday Evening Methodist Protestant Church From Mrs. W. F. Redding, Jr., chairman of the thank offering services for the Methodist Fro testant church, comes the an nouncement that the semi-annual thank offering service will be held at the local church on Sunday evening, September 27th.

Women of the auxiliary will take part in the play to which the public is invited. The hour for beginning will be 7:30 p. m. The cast of characters includes: Mrs. Winston, an interior de corator who has made a success of her profession, Mrs. W. F. Redding, Jr.; Marjorie Winston, her daughter, Mrs. N. M.

Smith Is Speaker For The Meeting; Dr. O'Brian Introduces Attendance Drive Promotion Of Kiwanis Educa tion Committee In Charge Of Next Meeting Support of the church was the theme of Dr. C. G. Smith, guest speaker at the Kiwanis meeting Tuesday evening. Dr. Smith made a very interesting and pointed talk on the various ways in which members of the community should support their church and spoke of the many ways in which Hie churches here were being supported by the Kiwanis club and other civic organizations. In his discus sion he very aptly brought out the fact that true support of the church was a man’s work, requir ing his most wholehearted efforts, and showed the fallacy in the pro cedure of the men who delegate church attendance and participa tion in religious activities to the women in their families as being feminine duties. The program was prepared by the committee on churches and spiritual aims, consisting of Rufus Hill, Erman Trogdon, Dr. George Salisbury, Rev. Howard Powell and Dr. L. R. O’Brian. Dr. O’Brian made a short talk, introducing Dr. Smith. The results of the attendance contest will be announced next week. Tuesday’s meeting was the last which counted in the stand ings but the final tabulations must be checked before the decision can be announced. Both teams have been staging a hot fight for the honors, with an unofficial estimate placing Walter Craven’s Nips one ahead of Dr. George Salisbury’s Tucks. The election of officers will also take place at the next meeting. The nominating committee will select two candidates for each of fice and present their names to be voted upon by the members. The committee on promotion of Kiwanis education will' have charge of the meeting next Tues day. E. V. Hobbs is chairman of this body, which also includes I. C. Moser, Rev. Howard Powell, and I,ee Kearns. Ed Morris, a former president, presided over the meeting in the absence of the president, Rufus Routh, and the vice president, Walter Craven, both of whom were attending the American . Legion convention in Cleveland.
