For he's verely handicapped in try g to carve a career for him 'f. As the son of a famous her he is expected to be .iter than average; what .vovld be success for some body else is just a passing ;rarie for him. He tried out for the lead in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," and didn't realize how lucky he was not to g-t it until he saw a revival of he film recently. "It made me re tlize more sharply than ever how good my father was," he remarked. "And what a tough time anybody will have trying to live up to the part. Anything I might have done would have been a pale carbon :opy." Yet he had the courage to llliUMIIMIIilliirr LON CHANEY JB. try to get that role, which many people consider one of the greatest icreera performances his father ever rave. Lon Jr. is hoping that, as Lennie" in "Of Mice and Men," e can take a long stride forward n the path that leads to success as .reat as his father's. Hollywood was all inlerest when Lillian Gish began making tests for Trinn:ph Over Fain" the prospect of her being co-starred in it wiih Ronald Colman made the town's older inhabitants look way back to the days when Lillian went to Italy to screen "The White Sister," with young English actor who'd ap peared only on the stage booked to be her leading man. That engagement put Ronald Col man into the movies to stay, but Lillian abandoned the screen for he Stage a few years later, and low a whole new generation of novie goers will have to get ac quainted with her if she returns to Baty Lcltoy, at the rir? r-W ago rf oven, is staffing a comeback.

There's just as much energy used, just as much noise made, and just as many spooks haunting the streets, but no one gets hurt, the front gate is safe, and everybody has lots of fun. Dolphin Moving In Wilmington, Oct. 11. When you can catch dolphin at a fishing pier, that ought to prove where the julf Stream is on this coast," said Edmund MacLaurin when M. Neil- son of Wrightsville Beach brought in an 8-pounder from the surf. And thus begins the old controver sy of just where the Gulf Stream is along the North Carolina coast. That great body of bluest of blue waters swings in closer to North Carolina than to any other state except Florida, and is easily usnnguisnaoie trom the green ocean around.

Giiley, of Newton, Vegetable Martha Is Slowing Down New Bern, Oct. 10. New Bern is undergoing a readjustment. Ev er so often, there is a shocking calm in the town, and various and suv.dry household economics are intolerably upset. The cause of all this is that Veg etable Martha P.oyall is now 72, and cannot every day make her rounds. Many a resident of New Bern can not remember the day when he did not hear Vegetable Martha's voice uplifted in praise of her wares. For half a century the old Negro has pushed her baby carriage full of vegetables before her, a tray of provender balanced expertly upon her head, the while making a great and joyful noise. Excusing an occasional band or a war or two, there has never been a noise in New Bern's ancient his tory as strong and far carrying as Martha's huckstering. And barr ing nothing whatever, no noise as constant, as pragmatic and indi genous. New Bern, it must be remembered, has seen a lot of his tory and noise in its day since its settlement in 1710 by Swiss immi-irrants. vvwvvv IFHSMIEMMEN CITY FRONT STREET N. C. gearshift on the steering column, a controlled ventilation system, improved double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers and Sealed-Beam headlights. Deluxe cars have an Im proved ipring suspension, softer springs front and rear and a new torsion bar ride-stabilizer. Empha sis In interior styling Is on fine ap pointments and upholstery. The chanting street peddler for merly was a familiar sight and sound in Southern cities, with his sing-song ditties about his wares. Most of them have succumbed to the slick corner grocery, but Mar than survived because of her un failing appearance, her stentorian chant, and the fidelity of New Bern to its own. Now, she seems to be slowing down, with no suc cessor in sight. New Bern has officially paid tribute to Martha's powerful lungs By special request, she does not peddle her goods within two blocks of any public school. And by al dermanic enactment, she does not shout her wares before 7 A. M. Not that New Bern loves Martha less, but it loves its sleep more. Vegetable Martha is an impro- visor ot the tirst ranK. tie song changes with the seasons and with her current goods, but it is always melodic and always ear-tingling. A typical song: "Heah yo' niiice, fraish caaab- bages, Gyarden peas, spring onions, cor-r-r-n, Sweet pota-toses, ahrish pota toses, Green peppers, stringbeans, car rots, Collards, an' riiipe toma-tose3." Compliance reports indicate that 90 per cent or more of the Harnett County growewr3 having an excess of cotton are bringing their acreage within the allotted fig ures.

"The State Fair is interesting and informative for all of us," said State Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction Clyde A. Erwin, "but it is of infinite value to the school children who have an op portunity to attend and it gives me a great deal of pleasure to know that these children will be well repaid in educational values for the day they spend at the Fair. I wish it were possible for every pupil in the state to attend." Pupils attending the Fair will find, in addition to large array of exhibits, much to entertain and amuse them. The mammoth and ever-popular World of Mirth Shows will reign on the mile-long midway with 50 thrilling rides and amusing shows.
