For Curing Pork
Garland Pritchard Finds Way
To Overcome Meat Losses
Often Suffered
Garland Pritchard, owner of

ng the fresh meats in which he
lots such a large business deve
oped a fine method of curing
resh pork. Realizing how valuable
his would be to many people in

n spoiled meat every year, Mr.
*ritchard wished to let everyone
mow about his method. Said Mr.
’ritchard:
“For the finest flavored meat—

ried the following test last year.
To every ten pounds of salt add
wo pounds of brown sugar and
wo ounces of saltpeter. Mix
horoughly and salt down pork—
mep this way for six weeks.
“At the end of six weeks wash
all the salt, dry the meat and
wint it with liquid smoke. Hang

Mr. I’ritchard said when he

lies. He continued.
“Last year hundreds of dollars

Asheboro Boy Scoring At Top
With Good Chance To Win
Randolph C. C. C.
Boys Fight Fire
Give.. Efficient And Willing
Service At Several Plates
In County Recently
The boys of the colored C. C. C.
camp at Ramseur who did such
good work during the summer dry
spell in fighting fires, have again
turned up with a fine performance.
This time it was on the farm of
C. M. Hayworth, located about
four miles southeast of Asheboro
between highway 220 and Cox
Hoad, whose heavily wooded pro
perty was on fire Saturday and
Sunday.
The fire was first noticed Satur
day and little progress was made
against it until the C. C .C. boys
appeared on the scene that night.
They had it apparently under con
trol when they had to leave, as
government regulations forbid
their working more than four
hours at this kind of work.
Sunday afternoon it broke out
again, however, and the boys
fought it then and on into the
night, finally putting it out. Mr.
Hayworth spoke very highly of the
assistance and ability of the C. C.
C. workers and of their director in
the firefighting, R. C. Moser of
Randleman.
Mr. Hayworth has about 75 acres
of wooded land and he said that
it would have been lost, as well as
the property of many others, but
for the efforts of these boys. He
praised not the only the effective
ness and success of their efforts,
but also the willing spirit with
which they entered into their task.
TO ATTEND GAME
Mrs. Tiffany Barnes, Miss Vir
ginia Barker and Eugene Lewallen
will attend the Carolina-Virginia
football game at Charlottesville,
Va., today. They will also visit
Mrs. Barnes’ parents at Ferrum.
Va., over the week-end.
Thanksgiving Appeal From County
Welfare Officer, Robert T. Lloyd
Several times during the fall,
Robert Lloyd, county welfare offic- j
or, has requested clothing for
needy children. The people of thej
town and county have responded;
to previous requests in a very gen
erous manner, but not sufficient to|
cover the needs. Many of these
children are going to school with-i
out the actual necessities in aj
county where many could divide, j
Possibly they are not yet actually
suffering from the cold and ex
posure that insufficient clothing
will result in as tho weather be
comes colder, but winter is now
upon us and these people will suff
er.
Whether we believe it or not, the
feelings of children are more sen
sitive than those of others and to

Armfield’s Record During
Fall Football Season

ed to hold their last heavy workout
of the season in their respective
camps this afternoon, taper off
with light drills tomorrow, and
meet here on Richardson field
Turkey Day at 2:30 o’clock before
what will probably be the largest
crowd ever to witness a football
game here.
Considerable attention has been
turned to Ed Armfield’s chances of
scoring against

the Deacons and
capturing the
Southern Confer
ence scoring title
for the 1936 sea
son. As this is
the Wildcat’s
^ first season in
conference com
petition, it would
be quite an honor
for Davidson to
place a man at
the top of the
scoring list.
Armfield, a son of Mr. and Mrs.
W. J. Armfield, of Asheboro, has
scored 48 points at the present
time 'and is tied with Mac Folger
of Clemson for the leadership. In
third place comes Bill Sample of
Washington and Lee with 43 points
and he is followed by Bill Guckey-1
son of Maryland, Chet Smith of i
Citadel, and Doc Saunders of V. M. j
I. with 42 points.
Harwood Smith of Duke pulls
up next with 40 points while Ace ,
Parker, another Duke back, comes !
eighth with 39. Ninth place is held
by three, Jim Hutchins of North
Carolina, Honey Hackney of Duke,
and Eric Tipton of Duke, each
having 36 points. A big day Thurs

Mr. Lloyd Is not approaching
! the request for clothing from this
i angle, however. He sees, as he

ing too much to look over the
family wardrobes and divide a bit
on Thanksgiving Day. The expense
of this office is far too great for
the county commissioners to cover
without raising taxes of citizens
many of whom are willing to
share clothing and such things
that they will not really miss. It is

Cases; Two First Degree
Members of the local bar plan
ned for several hours on Wednes
day for the December term of
Randolph Superior court which
will be held in the county court
house in Asheboro. Beginning, as
is the custom, the first Monday in
December, 7th, court will run
through the two weeks with the
exception of Saturdays. This will
make ten days for disposing of
Randolph’s court docket. Three of
these days will be consumed in the
trial of criminal cases, two of
which are of considerable interest,
leaving the other seven days for
the trial of civil cases.
The Davis-Saunders case, involv
ing the death of James Saunders
a month ago, will probably be one
on the docket. Another case on the
criminal docket will probably be
that of the death of John Hanner,
colored man, following an alterca
tion on Baptist Hill on November
1st. Will Cottingham and Marvin
Butler are indicted in this case.
The full calendar for the criminal
docket will not be completed until
Saturday.
There are no especially outstand
ing civil cases, according to the
proposed calendar for these cases,
but they are always tedious and
consume a great deal of the court’s
time.
Judge P. A. McElroy is slated
for this court^ as he has been for
the past severaT'sessions'. Tt~Ts
not, as yet, definitely known
whether he plans to preside over
this court. The judge has not been
well during the fall and has sent
substitute judges to this county
and several others in his district.

only in this manner that the wel
fare work in Randolph can be car
ried on. Mr. Lloyd offers to call
for clothing if it is not convenient
for people to bring the things to
the welfare office at the court
house.
With the “Good Neighbor” policy
going on in the nation and inter
nationally, surely this appeal com -
ing from the county welfare office
will bring such a shower of cloth
ing for poor grown-ups and little
children, that the great heart of
Randolph will open in a plenteous
outburst of gratitude at this sea
son which will serve Randolph’s
Unfortunates in a very substantial
manner during the cold winter
months that are upon us.

Find Child Labor
Is Again Rising
Annual Report Of Child Labor
Committee Calls Situation
In South Bad
Kinston Case
Sugar Beet And Lumber In
dustries Especially Con
demned In Report
The annual report of the Nation
al Child Labor committee shows
that business improvement has
brought a return of child labor
throughout the country, with ap
palling conditions of exploitation
in some industries. In this the
south is said to be the worst of
fender and though North is not
among the states listed as abusing
youthful workers, a case brought
into the Kinston courts this week
shows that we are not above im
provement.
In this case Max Greenstein,
operator of a shirt making firm,
was ordered to pay costs for
working women more than 55
hours a week. Greenstein worked
one 17 year old girl 69 hours a
week at the rate of eight cents an
hour, and several others in excess
of the legal hours and for 8 to 10
cents an hour.
To return to the committee’s re
port for the country as a whole few
advances were reported during the
year in the effort to curb child em
ployment through legislative en
actment, yet the committee ex
pressed certainty that public senti
ment in favor of such legislation
was rising and that 1937 would see
the addition to the basic law of the
federal child labor amendment,
which is now twelve states short
of the total required for ratifica
tion.
The committee cited records of
the Federal Children’s Bureau to
prove that “child labor began a
rapid comeback as soon as the pro
visions of the industrial codes were
rendered invalid.” In the ten states
and ninety-eight cities in other
states that reported to the Chil
dren’s Bureau, 8,400 children, 14
and 15 years of age, obtained re
gular employment certificates dur
ing the first five months of 1936,
the committee said, as against
3,350 during the same period of
1935.
“The greatest tragedy for chil
dren who toil is not in the striking
examples of abuse which arise to
plague as during a depression,”
the committee observed. “They, by

States Failing To Pass
Proper Legislation
Announcement on Wednesday in
dicated that the treasury of North
Carolina is very likely to lose the
$3,000,000 that will be collected on
January 31st, 1937 for employers
for unemployment insurance. The
announcement came from Chair
man John G. Winant and has a
ring of finality in it.
This tax is now accruing and by
January 31, 1937, each and every
employer in the State who has
eight or more persons on his pay
roll, must pay the Government one
per cent for 1936. Under the So
cial Security act, States having en
acted an unemployment Social Se
curity act acceptable to the board
by December 31, of this year, will
be credited with funds, thus en
abled to distribute the money as
part of the unemployment insur
ance.
Thus far, 22 state have failed to
pass such laws, among them be
ing North Carolina, and Governor
J. C. B. Ehringhaus has decided to
call the Legislature together to
enact a law to match the Govern
ment tax on the grounds that the
expense of an extra session would
be too great.
