GAS BOMBS ROUT MAINE STRIKERS
Sixteen hundred militiamen were called out by Governor Barrows to police Auburn, Me., following1
disorders in which tear gas barrages routed strikers who came into conflict with regular police officers.
A group of strikers and sympathizers are seen above in flight from exploding tear gas bombs. The
rioting climaxed the 28-day strike of shoe workers and brought about the arrest of six C. I. O.
leaders.

sentatives, and Reginald L. Harris
of Roxboro, speaker of the house
in 1933, have been appointed by
Governor Hoey to the state text
book commission, which will handle
free and rental school textbooks.
Both served on the purchase and
rental textbook commission, which
the new body succeeds under a 1937
law providing free texts for ele
mentary pupils and rentals for
high school children.
Cherry had been mentioned in
gossip about the chairmanship of

1 commission. Clyde A. Erwin, sup
erintendent of public instruction,
along wiflTTttTbrffey General A. A.
F. Seawell and the director of pur
chase and contract, to be appointed
soon, are also on the commission.
Inspect Street
Cleaning- Machines
The city authorities are making
a thorough survey of various types
of street sweeping machines, fol
lowing up the suggestion of the
clean-up committee that such a
machine would facilitate the clean
ing of the streets of Asheboro and
thus improve their appearance. Or
Wednesday Mayor Walter A.
Bunch and C. C. Cranford inspect
ed the street sweeper belonging to
the city of Danville, Virginia, and
the street cleaning machinery in
Charlotte will be inspected soon.
The state highway commission
has notified city officials that with
in the next few days it will esta
blish a detour on E. Salisbury
street. This detour will commence
at the Carolina Power & Light
sub-station and run around by the
colored school, coming back to E.
Salisbury street at N. Main street.
Commencement At
Cedar Falls May 9
On Saturday evening, May 1st,
at 8 o’clock there will be a full
evening’s entertainment by the
children of the Cedar Falls school,
in the school auditorium. This pro
gram consists of plays, drills,
songs, dances and recitations. There
will be no admission fee. Everyone
is invited to come and enjoy the
evening.
On Saturday evening, May 8th,
in the school auditorium a play,
“The Little Clodhopper,” will be
given by teachers and some adults
of Cedar Falls. This play is direct
ed by Mrs. Myrtle Cockman, one of
the teachers, and there will be a
small admission fee for the benefit
of the school.
Shrubbery Placed
At Two Buildings
One of the first evidences of the
beautification program now being
carried out in Asheboro is the plac
ing of shrubbery at the Fayette
ville street school and the new
agricultural building, which was
done Friday under the direction of j
members of the Homes and Gar
dens committee. The plants were
donated by Rev. N. M. Harrison.
At the school arbor vitae was
set in front of each of the posts
and spreading juniper placed at
each entrance and at the corners of
the building, the result improving
the appearance greatly. Similar
shrubs were put out in front of
the agricultural building, remov
ing the look of barrenness that al
ways clings to a new brick build
ing.
Practical Cooking Hints
Shown On Screen At Caro
lina Theatre May 1-6
Stream lines are a familiar j
sight this season.
But the latest news in Cooking
School conventions, as discovered
by The Courier has screen lines.
AH of which means that long
lines of eager pupils will be going
to school again May 4, 5 and (>,
when this newspaper presents the
much-discussed motion picture
course in, home economics in the
Carolina Theatre.
Going to school in a theatre!
It’s a grand way to combine fun,
inspiration, a neighborly reunion
and valuable instruction, all in one
free package. It’s a grand way to
get out -of the rut that often
threatens the best and most con
scientious of home managers.
Just ps fresh inspiration for the
old job is one of the by-products
of the familiar cooking school,
which presents a lecturer in a
model kitchen, so are new ideas
and keen incentive born in the
film class for homemakers, with
its novel approach and modern
setting.
The kitchens that passed the
screen test for this picture had
to meet the exacting requirements
of nationally-known home econo
mists, as well as Hollywood stand
ards of charm, good taste and pro
portion. No “false front” camera
beautiful kitchens satisfied these
modern kitchens which actually
reflect more scientific ingenuity
and careful planning than any
living room.
In these practical kitchens,
stream lines is no idle phrase, for
this simplified, sanitary, labor
saving equipment is keyed in sty!-'
and purpose- to a busy age.
Recognizing the demands bf
home experts, Hollywood signed
all-star kitchens, with the all-star
cast, adding a continual process
ion of close-ups, so that every
seat in the Carolina Theatre is a
good seat for this amazingly pic
tured household course.
The class isn’t all work, for there
is the constant play of sparkling
humor, the appeal of tender rom
ance, and the suspense of a coher
ent, intelligently-directed story,
which dramatizes every-day hap
penings—the human sort of things
that really do happen.
Binding the attractive story to
gether is the romance of home
making, a subject that holds the
interest of every woman young
and old. Even The Courier knows
that all women—brides, business
types and experienced housekeep
ers, respond to the fascination of
looking in on another woman, when
she is at work in the kitchen.
Particularily do they like it
when they are allowed to sit quite
ly and watch her prepare some dish
in which she specializes. They
know that if they watch closely,
while she measures and mixes and
completes the entire cooking op-1
eration, this close-up personal
study will be more helpful than
hours of reading recipes and blind
experimenting.
No only does every person in j
the audience share this close-up of j
each stage of the actual prepara- i
tion, but the kitchen expert clearly j
explains her methods, so that the,
measurements on the free daily re-1
cipe sheets will make it possible)
to duplicate the featherly cake and
flaky pastry.
Chatting in true neighborly
style with her listeners in the
Carolina Theatr^, the presiding
home manager will pass on her
own discoveries in labor-saving
short cuts. There will be dozens
of helpful hints and suggestions

Place Marker To
Union Institute
Erect Marker In Front Of
Trinity High School Honor
ing Old College
Moved In 1892
Later Became Trinity College
And Then Duke University
In Durham
The original site of Duke Uni
versity was marked Thursday by
the placing of a highway marker
by the state historical commission
in front of Trinity high school,
which is located on the grounds
where the old college ' stood. The
marker commemorates the found
ing of old Union Institute, the first
school established there, and honors
Trinity college, as it was called for
many years.
According to the marker Union
Institute was established in 18-Si),
but Burgess and other Randolph
historians place the date a year or j
even two earlier. The first teacher
was Dr. Brantley York, and the |
men most interested in the /school!
at the time of its founding seem:
to have been Quakers.
In 1842 Braxton Craven, who'
had come as assistant the year be- j
fore, was elevated to be head of j
the school upon the retirement of |
Dr. York. In 1851 it was chartered
by the state legislature and the1
name changed to Normal college, j
Upon the recommendation of
Dr. Craven and largely through his j
personal efforts, the property of j
the Normal college was transferred
to the Methodist Episcopal con-j
ference in 1858, and in 1859 it was
re-chartered under the name of >
Trinity college. The college had!
struck its most prosperous period!
and was making strides until the J
war broke out, after which lean!
days descended upon the institu-!
tion.
After the death of President:
Craven ir. 1882 Trinity was headed
successively by Rev. Marquis I..
Wood, John Heitman, and John P.
Crowell. It was while the latter
was president, in 1892, that the
college was moved to Durham. The
final step came in 1924, when it
became a part of Duke University,
founded by James B. Duke, since
which time its growth is known to
all in the state.

Frank L Dunlap
Is Highway Chief
Choice Comes As Surprise To
Many Politicians Through
out North Carolina
Asheboro Man Is
On District Board
Offers Waynick Important
Position With Salary Equal
To His Present Hire
The long-expected and much
discussed appointments that have
been worrying Governor Clyde
Hoey for the past several weeks,
and the people of North Carolina
for an equal length of time, were
announced late Saturday night by
the Governor in a lengthy press
release. Governor Hoey impressed
upon the public in the dispatch the
difficulty of his task in selecting
important men over the state fqt
important positions, such as the
highway department, purchase and
contract, etc. Governor Hoey mcn
i tioned the fact that the task was
made more difficult by the circum
stance of several good men who
were on the eligible list and in re
ceptive moods, especially for the
highway head. Capus Waynick,
present head, has not resigned and
his friends were staunch support
ers for his reappointment. Mean
while, friends of George Goan,
state WPA director, Frank L.
Dunlap and H. B. Baity and others,
were pressed upon the governor for
his consideration.
The appointments of the new
highway and public works commis
sion are of more than ordinary
interest to Randolph citizens this
year in that D. B. McCrary, pro
minent citizen of the county, is
named a board member from the
sixth district of which Randolph is
a part. Mr. McCrary, who has had
the whole-hearted support of his
many friends in this and other
counties in the sixth district, wa(
named as board member by the
Governor in his Saturday night
announcement.
In appointing Frank L. Dunlap,
head of the commission to succeed
Capus Waynick, present head, the
governor made a clean sweep, and
named an entirely new commis
sion from head through the ten
highway districts of North Caro
lina. Mr. Dunlap has been for
sometime assistant director of the
budget. He has served two terms
in the state senate, representing
his home county of Anson, and was,
during the Ehringhaus regime,
director of personnel. Mr. Dunlap's
appointment will probably be re
ceived with more cordiality by all
camps than would any other man
the governor could have named. So
bitter has been the fight that the
Waynick supporters would hardly
have seen a good move made by
George Coan, had he been named,
and the other way around. Raleigh
people, who know Mr. Dunlap be.it
during his political activities of
recent years, say that he is an
excellent choice, as far as ability
is concerned and the governor
made it understood that he was
considering ability, rather than
political affiliation or pull. The
salary for the next four years will
be $7,500 per year.
Going down the line of board
members, naming a new one for
each of the ten districts, the
governor’s choice was: 1st district,
Collin Barnes, Hertford, 6 year
term; 2nd, Ernest V. Webb, Lenoir
county, 4 year term; 3rd, Robert
Grady Johnson, Pender county, 2
year term; 4th, T. Broddie Ward,
Wilson county, 2 year term; 5th,
Samuel M. Bason, Caswell county,
4 year term; 6th, D. B. McCrary,
Randolph county, 6 year term; 7th,
Thomas R. Wolfe, Stanly county,
2 year term; 8 th, J. Gordon
Hackett, Wilkes county, 4 year
