Charlotte's textile workers to hieh cour
age and not. to become disheartened by
4 seeming defeat in their struggle.
PI.AN BIG THINGS
"Within another month a group of
national federation organizers will visit
Charlotte to talk better organization,
and we are going to have a labor orga
nization here second to none in the
United States," he said.
nru1 ,Lockey attacked the press for
What he characterized "grand insults
neaped upon the head? of organized la
.'. . It is a criminal insult to our
intelligence for the press of the state
to insinuate that we are so helpless We
cannot resent the onslaught of abuse by
capitalists and manufacturers. Our
organizers are called outlaws because
they come here to lead us and help us
rid ourselves of the burden sapping our
strength."
That the textile union is not disin
tegrating but stronger now than ever
before was the declaration of Alvin
Hope. He referred briefly to the in
ability of individual workers to deal
successfully with their employers

All our skill, facilities, and lifelong knowledge of
the finest tobaccos are concentrated on this one
cigarette CAMEL.
Into this ONE BRAND, we put the utmost qual
ity. Nothing is too good for Camels. They are as
good as it's possible to make a cigarette.
Camel QUALITY is always maintained at the
same high, exclusive standard. You can always
depend on the same mellow-mild refreshing smooth
ness the taste and rich flavor of choicest tobaccos
and entire freedom from cigaretty aftertaste.
And remember this! Camels come in one size
package only 20 cigarettes just the right size to
make the greatest saving in production and packing.
This saving goes straight into Camel Quality. That's
toe reason why you can get Camel Quality at so
moderate a price.
Here's another. We put no useless frills on the
Camel' package. No "extra wrappers!" Nothing
just for show!
Such things do not" improve the smoke any more
than premiums or coupons. And their added cost
must go onto the price or come out of the quality.
One thing and one only is responsible for
Camels great and growing popularity
That is CAMEL QUALITY.

DILWORTH PARK
PUT IN SERVICE
Community Picnic and Two
Addresses Feature First
Annual Meeting.
With addresses by O. Max Gardner,
former lieutenant governor; Dr. W. H.
Frazer, president of Queens College, and
Col. T. L. Kirkpatrick, a big picnic din
ner and a band concert, Latta Park,
the gift of E. D. Latta to the people of
Charlotte, was formally dedicated in the
presence of a crowd of 600 Dilworth peo
ple Monday evening.
The occasion was the first community
gathering of Charlotte people for the
purpose of promoting the community
spirit and fostering good-fellowship in
tke city's history. Dilworth people
plan to make it an annual event, and if
the idea of the Dilworth Civic club is
carried out Labor Day of each year will
witness the assemblage of the people of
that community at the park for an af
ternoon and evening of friendship and
acquaintance-making
PLANS FOR FUTURE
The necessity for a broad community
spirit was stressed by both Mr. Gardner
and Dr. Frazer while Col. Kirkpatrick
told of plans of the civic club for the
development of Latta Park. Dilworth
people received the congratulations of
the speakers for their demonstrated
spirit of progressiveness in planning for
the improvement of their community.
The big crowd which enjoyed the pic
nic dinner and the larger assemblage
whic't heard the addresses were equally
divided among men, women and chil
dren. The crowd began to gather
about 5 o'clock, and at 6 o'clock bas
kets were opened and their contents
spread over three long tables. An hour
was spent in disposing of the many eat
ables, and the addresses by Mr. Gard
ner, Dr. Frazer and Colonel Kirkpatrick
followed. The Boy Scouts band played
several selections preceding the dinner.
Henry Benoit led in community singing.
On behalf of the Dilworth Civic club,
Colonel Kirkpatrick extended thanks to
the ladies, the Boy Scout band, Mayor
Walker and Commissioners Huneycutt
and Stancill, E. L. Mason, of the park
and recreation commission,. and others
for the success of the evening and for
assistance in making the dedicatory ex
ercises possible.
Informing that the 43-acre park is
worth $100,000, Colonel Kirkpatrick said
the club wants to raise enough money
to build a swimming pool, a gymnasium
building and tennis courts and other
additions representing a proposed ag
gregate cost of $15,000. A bandstand
I nas aireacty been erected and other im
j provements made.
Ml RKILL. IN CHARGE ,
Hugh Murrill. Jr.. president of the
Dilworth Civic c:ub, was chairman of
the program and introduced the speak
ers. Rev. W. B. Mcllwaine offered in
vocation preliminary to the dinner.
Dr. Frazer declared during his brief
address that the first community start
ed in a park and that the community
spirit is the great ideal of life as God
outlined it. The lack of room has
caused the sorrow and confusion in
life; the great outdoors brings reverence
for and companionship with God, he
continued.
Boys and girls. and men and Women
must have a place in which to live, said
he, adding that he hopes the time will
speedily arrive when every man who
leads a woman to the altar will have a
deed to a lot on which is or may be
built a home. When a man has es
tablished a home, in which he can, pour
out his heart to his mate, he must then
begin to give himself and his service to
the development of the community and
to making people around him happy,
said Dr. Frazer. A man must develop
for his community better environments,
a higher plane is moral, educational
and' spiritual life.
"With the influx of population, man,
the most gregarious of all animals, na
turally sought COmminitv interest nnfl
social development", said Mr. Gardner
in tMe beginning of his address. We
have, been brouerht to realize that tnwn
and cities are but larger family groups
many times multiplied and to meet the
full needs of such comraunitv. he sairt
a full measure of sacrifice, sympathy
and social service which characterize
the home life is now demanded for the
Iarerer familv of 50.000 npnnie
pleased to call the city of Charlotte.
iviociern as parKs and playgrounds
in our srood countrv are snnnnspd tn ho
and untrained in the use of them as
we Americans are, the park and recrea
tional grounds are as old as the Sina-
nic mils. i
"It was there that the Deity thunder
ed the sacred duty of rest and Moses
called the chosen race to a scrupulous
observance of both rest and toil. God
Almighty was the first donor of the re
creational center, and Moses was its superintendent-
Let us not, therefore, be
content until every chold 'on the
earth has his opportunity and his place
for play.
"It is hardly an accident that the Am
erican city, regarded as the plague spot
of our national democracy, has won
its inglorious reputation chiefly through
its neglect of one great civic grace
wholesome play for its children. Play
centers in our republic are barely older
man our cniidren themselves. They
came into our municipal life less than
20 years ago. They had to fight their
way over a public sentiment which im
agined the playground a choice recruit
ing station for Old Nick, because, for
sooth, "an idle brain is the devil's work
shop". Meanwhile, our commercialists
were incorporating play and making it
yield dividends. One billion, five hun
dred millions, of dollars were invested
in commercialized play two years ago,
and the investment increases by fabul
ous leaps and bounds.
"So we have at-last come to the pub
lic play-center with a public conscience
aroused to the necessity of clean out
door life. The opposition to it has
evaporated, and hardly an intellectual
man is found in all the land who will
begrudge to the youth and its animal
spirit its opportunity to indulge in whole
some play. Charlotte is to be felicitated
that long before it has actually grap
pled with the great perils of democracy,
for ahead of the time wb
so given to merchandise, so overbuilt,
so careful of gain, so careless of life!
when cities which ought to exist sole
ly for the people become . the prisons
of the people, whose selfsame walls shut
humanity in and God and neighbors out,
-Charlotte, I say, is to be congratulated
that this noble center is presented to
her childhood. And chrtdmood is na
ture's fresh and undiscouraged effort
to save the race."
SUNDAY SCHOOLS TO
HAVE A "RALLY DAY"
A city-wide "Sunday School Day" will
be held the first Sunday in October,
according to a decision reached by the
Sunday school superintendents of Char
lotte at a luncheon at Ivey's . Monday
afternoon. Fifteen schools of the city
were represented at the meeting.
All the Sunday schools' in Charlotte
will bp asked to co-operate in the under
taking and, it is hoped to make the day
one of inspiration toward greater ac
complishments in the Sunday schools.
"Rally days" have been held at differ
ent times in the fall in the past, it was
said, and crowds attracted from other
schools. The permanent attendance of
the schools will be built up in this man
ner, it is believed.
