WOMAN’S COLLEGE I PROGRESSING FINE — - - The following Founder* Day mev’ sage concerning the Woman’s Col lege of the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, received re cently by Mrs. D. L. English Jr., an' alumna of this institution, gives a message of cheer and encouragement to those intwested in this depart ment of- the state university: To the Alumnae: At this time when conditions are so unusual and in ninny case* real ly distressing, I feci most keenly that I should send you a message of cheer and encouragement. I am glad to say the enrolment is much bet-] ter than we expected, in fact it now, seems that the enrolment this year, will bo almost ns large as it was last year. While salaries have been material-1 ly eut, it gives me genuine pleasure] to report that the members of the faculty arc accepting the situation with real optimism, and I think arc, doing better work than we have done ] at the college for many years. I ran not ccmmcml too highly the loyalty ( of both faculty and student* who are, new working under rather adverse circumstances. All we need as 1 see the matter,; is to emphasize two qualities that, are always essential, namely, faith] and courage. Unlimited taith will, enable us to overcome our ditfieuM ties, and unwavering courage will, finally carry forward the work of education, not only at your college! but in the state as a whole. It 1 should sum up in a few words my, mcsstigc to you it would be* tout thfij alumnae should manifest these fine, qualities of faith ami. courage', in; spite of the many things that tend to weaken and destroy our optimistic j spirit. I send to every alumna cordial i greetings, with the confident hope; ihut every one will shoe.- that tine; loyalty which has been characteristic: of the students of this eol’.ege in; the past. If vout college can ever, tvve vou in any way 1 hope no one will hesitate to call on us. My best wishes aie always with, you. Very sincerely yours ; J. I. FOUST, Vice Pres. !

ENOUGH CLEAR LAND AVAILABLE IN STATE Less land clearing and more tree planting are two necessary needs in North Carolina at this time. The one and (-lie-half million acres of land cleared bat idle has been one of the sore spots of ihe stute’s agriculture | for the past ten years “We already have one and one half million acres of cleared, idle; land in the State and now with the, governmental crop adjustment pro grams under way another million1 acres will be added to this amount if idle and unprofitable lard,’’ says R. W. Griicber, extonsioin forester j at State College. “It is my opinion! that idle acres arc just as harmful; to the nation as idle laborers. The1 evil results are seen in erosirn, lois] of mineral plant foods and humus, j loss of bacterial life in the toil and j other bad effects. Such lands lose! their productive power and will take :v generation to rehabilitate them." Mr. Graobcr warns against clear ing ary more land under any cir-1 cumstances and urges that North; Cart lino citizens become forest mind ed, recognizing trees as growing things .In this way the problem of bind use will be partially solved. Trees will accumulate wealth and us able wood products. “In North Carolina we have on the average more than 15,000 acres if idle crop land per county," he rays. ‘Many of the Piedmont counties! have 20,000 to 30,000 acres in this; class. Randolph leads in total acres of idle crop land with Davidson and Guilford counties following in close rrdcr.” Yet jn the old flue-cured tobacco belt of th>* Piedmont, farmers are continuing to clear more land to git fresh soil for tobacco. Good growers are finding that this is not necessary, Graeber says. There are now 94 cities in the United States with a population of more than 100,000. Ten years ago there were 08.

PHONE 241 Premier Road Race of 13 Years Ago ' Back With Greater Thrills Than Ever Above: A typical scene in the recent Elgin National Koad Kace. Each car leaver the ground ns it hits the point in the road known as “Avia tion Hill.'’ Below: 1‘hil Shafer, veteran racing driver, who won the feature event in record time of 88.34 miles pev hour average over the - rough concrete and dusty gravel. Revival of the historic Elgin National Road Race at Elgin, 111., that spectacular event which re cently thrilled the automotive world, has brought back after a lap.-e of 15 years one of America’s most fascinating ; nd valuable races, according to I'irestono Tire * Rubber Company engineers. The ears struggle through roads of old rough concrete, hot tarvia and dusty gravel at speeds of 130 miles pec hour or move—a terrific ordeal for nu n, motors, and most of all fires. When Phil Shafer, rumours vci ernn driver, finished tl:o 205-mL‘c grind with an average of 88.- 1 miles per hour over the le course he broke the old record by nine miles per hour. From grandstands in the corn fields 30,000 spectators saw the thrilling contest. So gruelling was the test that only C of the 14 cars finished. The 203-mile stock-car race, in the morning, was also spectacular. Fred Frame, 1032 Indianapolis race winner, cauturcd this event, wiih the amazing average speed of 30.22 miles per hour with a Ford V-8.

It is on ti 1 oly non-partisan and non-sectar inn and involves only the exercise <f a little old-fashioned "horse' sense" in an effort to liettcr what the anti repealers frankly admit to be a had situation. I have the greatest consideration and respect tor the views and opin ions of'those opposing me in this matter but 1 am fully convinced that the attitude they have taken towards the repeal of this "much disrespect ed" part of onr federal constitution precludes the possibility cf their sharing the' credit which the repeal of this most obnoxious portion of our fundamental law should bring them and also of the part they shoujd have in rendering this most splendid service to the community ar.d par ticularly to the youth of our fair county. 1 ask only that each voter do what his conscience dictates to him to be best for the community. Thank you, ECK Jj. SIMS WEDDING AS WAS The following account of a wedding is attributed to an editor who want ed to give the people “the truth” that so many readers clamor for. The wedding'account has been print ed and reprinted in hundreds of papers since it was originally print ed by Robert Quillan, in The Foun tain Inn Tribune, and vends like this: “The groom is a popular young hum who hasn’t done a lick of work since he got shipped in the middle of his junior year at college. He manages to dress weil and keep a supply < f spending money hecause his dad is a soft-hearted old fool who takes up his bad checks instead of letting him go to jail where he belongs. "The biide is a skinny, fast little idiot who has been kissed and hand led by every hoy in town since she was 12 years old. She paints like a Sicux Indian, sucks cigarettes in se cret, and drinks mean corn liquor when she is out joyriding in her car. at night. She doesn’t know how to cook, sew, or keep house. The groom wore a rented dinner suit over athletic underwear of imitation silk. His pants were held up by pale green suspemleis. His number eight patent-leather shoes matched his state in tightness and haimonizrd nicely with the axle gruise polish of his hair. In addition to his jag he carried a pocketknife. a bunch of keys, a dun for the ring and his usual look of imbecility. ■‘The bride wore some kind of a white thing that left most of her legs sticking out at one end and her, bony upper end sticking cut at the | other. The young people will make' their home with the bride’s parents, | which means they will sponge on the; old man until he dies and then she, will take in washing. The happy j couple anticipates a blessed event, in about five months.” Most rich peop’e who lose their' wealth do it trying to get richer. The great bells in historic Notre Dame de Paris are now rung by elec ! i ieity. TWIN APPLES GROWN ON JOHN MANN FARM J< hn Mann, who lives on the B: ci.se farm at Maiden Hair mill, brought a twin apple to The Times ' ffice Tuesday that came near being two perfect specimens, only missing it by the fact that they were grown together. Mr. Mann says that he has been on the farm, and had picked up hun« died* of bushels of apples in his day, but that this is the first perfect twin that he has' ever seen.
