RELIErEDUCATION
WILL BENEFIT MANY
—
Do not despise this Emergency!
Relief Education. Very few realize
how many grown people cannot write |
their own names. What happens
when these adult illiterates marry I
and have families? Mothers who can
not read labels on buttles and cans
jeopardize all their households.
Young husbands who cannot sign
their names have a poor prospect for j
supporting their offspring.
Illiteracy’s big percentage is South..
In North Carolina there are 210,328,,
•>r 10 per cent of the population. It .
is estimated that in a lifetime the;
total loss to the state from ignorance |
is the huge sum of 88,041,000,000! :
The pr -entage for the United States,
is 4.3 per cent.
The cost to the parents of educat
ing, feeding and clothing a child to ■
IB is S3,210. To the state the cost is
8420. Compared with the actual cost!
to both of ignorance this sum is j
trivial.
I h o average college graduate
earns in a life-time $13G,000. A high
school graduate §60,000. Elementary
Iuml( v 7th grade) $30,000. Below
ihat it is a great big ??—“day labor
er,'' uncertain income Does educa
tion nay? Ami money is not the only
cost. There are juvenile and criminal
courts and what not.
Transylvania is not the worst off,
'nit some of these uneducated arc in
it. These Emergency teachers have
nr lied perhaps most of these, and
>vith public encouragement and stim
ulation can do their bit toward
“wiping out illiteracy in this genera
tion.” There arc 25 teachers approved
for this work, some of them already
teaching large classes. They abo
give instruction on health, 'citizen
hip, and kindred subjects. Uncle
Sam is in earnest about tin;. fur
it is bound up with the unemploy
ment situation. The public is asked
to buck it ci ■ hundred pur i-.rt.

CUTTING IN CHARGE
OF CALVERT PRISON
A-Grade Prisoners and Local
Labor Being Used On
Construction Job
_
W. Lloyd Cutting, of Statesville,
i is again in charge of construction
j work on the state prison camp near
Calvert and has 36 men at work
under him, with John Hewitt of
[ Newton, as foreman.
Mr. Cutting started work on the
j Calvert camp last summer, only to
be stopped by state prison and public i
[ works officials after announcement
[by TV A officials that the French
Broad river valley was being con
sidered as probable reservoir. How
ever, later statement from headquar
ters of the TVA at Knoxville were to
the effect that this valley was not to
be used at this time, and orders were
again issued to start the construc
tion. Mr. Cutting, in the meantime,
had been transferred to another ^
state construction job in Jackson i
county and the work was held up
pending his completion there.
Twenty-five A-grade or h o n or
prisoners, all white men, are work
ing at the camp, together with hall
dozen or more mechanics that have

OAK GROVE HOME
COMING OBSERVED
_
LAKE TOXAWAY, Oct. 17— The!
celebration of home coming day at!
Oak Grove Baptist church last Sun-,
day was in almost every respect the ^
greatest home coming occasion the
church has ever had. Former pastors |
were present, former members long I
scattered to other communities were
mingling with the crowd with faces j
beaming with the joy ol the occasion
as well as pleasant memories of the ,
past, and former citizens of the com-j
munity who are living in other com-1
munities and other states, were in
evidence, smiling in a way that man
ifested geniality of spirit and giving
a hearty hand shake to many old
acquaintances from whom they had j
long been separated. All the present
members and citizens of the com
munity who were present were shar
ing with the'visitors in the joys of ;
the occasion. Some one said that
this home coming day is typical ol
the home coming day toward which
we are traveling; that “In the Sweet
Here and Now” is only a crystal dew ;
drop as compared with the great
ocean of “In the Sweet By and By
that awaits us just a short while in
the future.
Because of the unavoidable absente .
of the pastor, Rev. J. E. Burt, the
welcome address was delivered b> ,
T C. Henderson. The response was,
made by Rev. E. R. Pendleton of
Brevard. In a forceful, instructive
and soul inspiring manner, Hon.,
Ralph H. Ramsey of Brevard deliver-,
ed the principal address of the day.
For this church home coming occas
ion, he had selected as his theme
••The Church and Its Influence on
the Social and Spiritual Uplift cl ,
Our Communities.” Appropriate toi
the occasion was his theme and ex
ceedingly well did ne present it.
The great tnrong of people present:
enjoyed to the full the excellent i
music of the day, which was fur-1
nished by Frank Raines and family
of Middle Fork, the Polly Phonic i
Quartet and the Fowler Duet ol
Greenville, and the Burns Quartet ol
Cedar Mountain. It was the general
opinion of the congregation that
finer music could not. be furnished |
this fide of heaven.
At the noon nour me tames uut|
in the grove were loaded almost to ,
the breaking point with nearly every j
conceivable variety of good things to j
eat. One could imagine that it sur
passed the feast of Belshazzar, be
cause it had all the excellencies of
his feast without the curse of his
wine. While the crowd was apparent
ly the largest, that has ever assein-1
bled on the grounds of Oak Grove,
Baptist church for an occasion ol :
this kind, there was no occasion for
anv one to leave the table without
having fully satisfied bis physical
needs and desires for the day.
Some who were invited to lie pres
ent and participate in this home com
ing occasion had to decline because ol
previous engagements. They are be
ing notified now that, the next home
coming day at Oak Grove Baptist
church is to be on the second Sunday
in October. 1935, and they are being
asked to make their plans to be pres
ent next year.

SEVENTEEN STILLS
SEIZED BY PATTON
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17— Th
North Carolina alcohol tax unit with
headquarters in Charlotte had a bu.-y
week in putting down demon rum
for the period ended September 29.
the report of the treasury depart- ■
ment just issued reveals. For the last
week in September, Chief Agent
T. E. Patton’s men seized 17 stills, or
more than two daily. These recepta
cles had a capacity of 2,595 gallons,
and in taking them into the minions
of the law, 316 gallons of corn
whiskey were also seized.
The biggest haul was in mash
which had been prepared for pro
cessing into liquor without payment
of the proverbial processing tax that
is now required by the government
on so many articles for food and
drink. Moreover, Pattor.’s men re- j
ported that they had seized four;
trucks in their week’s work, the total
number of arrests being 15. j
Nolle Robinson, chief of the South .
Carolina unit, with headquarters at,
Charleston, did not have as _ good
luck during the week in question a
heretofore in the same period since ;
the new South Carolina unit has O'en i
set up by the treasury department.!
as only seven stills were seized and j
10 arrests made.
North Carolina is now a part of
th« fifth district of the alcohol tax
unit, and Chief Patton’s corps leads*
all other states and the District of
Columbia therein in the number
of stills seized, only one being
sefaefl in the District of Columbia
nine in Maryland, two in Virginia
and one in West Virginia. The ta>
unit minions of the law in the
national capital, however, made 2f
arrests, 20 took place in Maryland
10 in West Virginia, with only two
mat1’ in Virginia.
The report says that east of th'
Mis-d.-sipi* river 15S stills wer
seized, the greatest gains in wml
