amined within two weeks prior to
the time of said presentation of
said certificate, that they are free

transmitted. Such certificate shall
be accompanied by the original re
port from a laboratory approved
by the State Board of Health for
making such tests showing that
the Wassermann or any other ap

infectious state.
Section 2. That all domestic
servants employed shall be exam

Hope For Earhart
Rescue Fades; Air
Fleet In Action
Naval Officials Believe Avia
trix and Navigator Will
Not Be Found.
Lexington In Search
Aircraft Carrier Planes Will
Scan Mid-Ocean Wastes
Today.
Honolulu, (Saturday.)—Today,
according to naval officers, success
j or failure will be determined in
the wide search for Amelia Ear
hart and her navigator, Fred J.
Noonan, missing in the mid-Paci
fic since Friday, July 3.
Officially, naval authorities reit
erated hopes that Miss Earhart
would be found. But privately
they conceded the chances were de
cidedly slight.
Remaining hopes centered upon
the aircraft carrier Lexington,
which refueled near Honolulu af
ter a 2,550-mile run from San Die
go, and prepared to speed towards
Howland Island with 62 fighting
planes. Upon her arrival at How
land Island she will immediately
unleash all her aircraft. This vast
fleet it is believed will write suc
cess or failure to the search for
the missing pair.
Never in the history of the world
has there been such activity in na
val circles in a peace-time effort to
locate missing persons. Every ship
in the Pacific has been assigned
duty in connectio'n with the ocean
voyage. Every ship carrying
planes has assisted in the search
and now war-time activity is dis
played aboard the Lexington with
its hundreds of fighting planes—
this time fighting for the lives of
two persons, a man and a woman.

Rotarians Hear
Dr. Pennington
Noted Employment Expert
Outlines Scientific
Methods Used.
Dr. Julian Pennington, Atlanta,
Ga., employed as employment con
sultant expert by national corpor
ations, gave an interesting talk on
“Human Nature” to members of
the Asheboro Rotary club Friday
noon. He discussed the latest sci
entific methods of understanding
men and women and being able to
determine their personal traits and
character and decided whether
they are suited for any certain
kind of employment.
As a foundation for his remarks,
Dr. Pennington pointed out that
every person has two separate per
sonalities inherited from his par
ents. To illustrate this point he
produced an odd but simple looking
device which revealed the traits of
a man by study of the face of his
photograph.
Dr. Pennington said the different
traits received by children from
parents never blend. On the other
hand they remain the life of tfie
individual as separate and opposing
forces. This, the speaker stated,
accounts for the fact that one side
of the face will reveal one tenden
cy in conduct and the other side
reveal an opposite tendency.
Visitors at Friday’s meeting
were Ernest Auman, High Point,
the Rev. R. S. Truesdale, Waynes
ville and Ryan Killian, Boston.
Next week’e mesting will take
place at Watkins Lake. All Ro
tary Anns are invited to attend.

square feet of ground on South

Former Governor
Discusses Courts
For Alabama Bar
J. C. B. Ehringhaus Urges Bar
To Be Tolerant in Views
And in Decisions.
Demanded as Speaker
Will Address Virginia Attor
neys Later in Year; Has
Addressed N. C. Bar.
Speaking before the annual ses
sion of the Alabama state bar as
sociation, J. C. ■ B. Ehringhau3,
former governor of North Carolina,
urged the bar to be tolerant.
The North Carolinian said he did
not propose “to debate the wisdom
or desirability” of proposed legis
lation to reorganize the United
States Supreme court but wanted
to give “the basis of this activity
and the motivating cause of the
proposal.”
Ehringhaus spoke before the
North Carolina Bar association last
month and has accepted an invita
tion to address the Virginia bar
later in the year.
Citing many court decisions up
holding judicial authority to de
clare legislative enactments void,
the governor said with the excep
tion of “these occasional and real
ly rare outbursts the controversy
now seems closed and the doctrine
accepted by both bench and bar.”
“But,” he said, “in the minds of
the people there still lingers an
echo, a dubiosuess if not an active
dissent which requires but a robust
controversy, about some measure
they believe to be of concern to
them, to fan its flames and stir
anew its prejudices which have per
sisted through the years.”
The bench and bar, he said,
rightly or wrongly are “the object
of a rather universal dislike, if not
distrust” but there is “confusion,
too, among the great body of the
people.”
Social Security
Heads Appointed
Nine Supervisors Scattered
Over State Will Assume
Much of Responsibility.
Raleigh, July 10.—The field so
cial work supervisors of the state
board of charities and public wel
fare will bear much of the burden
of carrying out the North Carolina
social security program, which be
came effective July 1, according to
a statement issued by R. Eugene
Brown, assistant commissioner of
the state welfare department.
The 100 counties of the state
have been divided among the nine
field supervisors, who will be of
material assistance to the various
county welfare boards and depart
ments in interpreting the state pro
gram.
The nine supervisors are: Miss
Elma H. Ashton, Raleigh; Miss
Victoria Boll, Asheville; Wade H.
Cashion, Raleigh; Mrs. Cecil Clif
ford, Statesville; H. D. Farrell, Ra
leigh; S. J. Hawkins, Wilmington;
G. M. Johnson, Shelby; Miss Lessie
Toler, North Wilkesboro, and W. J.
Wingate, Williamston.
Miss Virginia Crawford and
Clark W. Blackburn, who are new
supervising students taking special
training in social work, will be
available for field service on Sep
tember 1.
“In the immediate future,” the
Brown statement says, “the field
social work supervisors will devote
most of their time to the public
assistance (Social Security) pro
gram.
“The field social work supervisors,
while administratively responsible
to the assistant commissioner, will
functionally serve as general field
representatives for the entire de
partment. Serving in this capacity
for each of the divisions and the
special services, the field social
work supervisors will be responsi
ble for supervision of all welfare
activities in the county depart
ments of public welfare.
“They will also be responsible,
with the assistance and guidance
of of the commissioner (Mrs. W.
T. Bost) and members of the state
department staff, to interpret poli
cies, functions and responsibilities
of the state departtment to the
counties. It will also be their re
sponsibility to interpret local situa
tions and problems to the state de
partment. x x x
“Under the plan for a general
field sendee for the entire depart
ment, directors of each division
and each special service will be
responsible for interpreting their
particular programs to the super
visors. Opportunities for such in
terpretations will be provided
through special conferences to be
arranged at frequent intervals in
the state department by the assist
ant commissioner, and through bul
letins or news letters to be contri
buted to by the commissioner and
members of the state department
staff.”

County And City
Share In Local
Schools Expense
Official Dispels Belief That
State Carries Entire
Load.
Expense of $52,763
County Reimburses City On
Per Capita Basis; Local
Budget.
The total expense connected with
I operations of public schools in the
i city of Asheboro last year, accord
I ing to an announcement made yes
terday by Superintendent Reginald
j Turner, was $52,763.63. The city
| and county raised $11,642.68 of this
amount while the state contributed
the balance of $41,120.95.
Mr. Turner called attention to
what he said was a misunderstand
ing in the county to the effect that
the state was paying all the school
expense. “Funds are raised in the
county and city to carry on school
work,” he said, “while the belief
that the state is running or financ
ing the schools has been increasing
it must be appreciated that the city
of Asheboro and Randolph county
are carrying their share of the
load.”
Mr. Turner pointed out the fact
that lase year $11,642.68 local rev
enue was the city and county share.
One-fifth of this amount, he said,
was raised in the city budget while
the other four-fifths was turned
over to the local school funds, by
the county commissioners, on a per
capita student basis.
The gross share of the county
and city amounts to 22 percent
while the state contributes at the
rate of 78 percent Superintendent
Turner stated.
The 1936-37 budget was as fol
lows: General control, $3,168.48; in
struction service, $35,980.04; oper
ation of plant, $2,801.15; mainte
nance of plant, $2,659.40; fixed
