Two of the four projects to which Mr. Grist referred have already been launched, and the other two are ex pected to commence during the first part of the coming year. The Caro lina Power and Light Company plans to erect a big plant on Pigeon River in (fee extreme western part of the ' state, on which they expect to begin j work soon after the first of the year, 1 lie stated. j The other projects which will be launched next year is the extension of the Piedmont and Northern Rail road; from jGastonia to Spartanburg, and north from Charlotte via Wins i ton-Salem. High Point and Greens* ! boro, which will involve a total ex- I pepditure of about twenty million dol ! larS, j The Tallahassee Power Company ! at Raden has already started construc tion on n ten million dollar project while the Carolina Power and Light Company is building a big dam at Norwood. There is of course the pos&iblity that the legislature will authorize some millions of dollars worth of roads, and a number of smaller pro jects are slated for the coining year. The demand already exceeds the supply for day laborer, Mr. Oi*ist stated, and while there are a few day laborers without jobs they are the kind that dot\t want jobs. There are few enough “white collar jobs,” Mr. Grist admitted, but recalled a time in bis youth when he turned to digging ditches when several' thous and miles from home and broke.

Bt nietao shrd z ft .(» \ i Wlio Should ( lose tjfte Phone Con \ rersat ion ? Southern Bell Press Service. ! By whom should a telephone con versation be ended? Ah a general rule, the oqo \\*W> , calls up is the ohe who should fee-, i urinate the talk, as the person who < dulls up is in the position of a call- ]! v . er and if lie or she were calling m person the host or hostess obviously would not bo the ones to bring th“ call to an end. However, as regards telephone conversations, this is, a j rnle which has its exceptions j When a womah is conversing over the telephone, with a man. it mat ters not whether the woman or. the man did the calling up, it is the woman who should bring the conver sation to an end. That is her privilege, ami the man should never | place himself in Ihe position of end j ing tin* conversation. On the other (hand. esjMs-ially f the woman is calling up a man during business hours, ( lie should he careful not to continue the conversation too long. h\st, the man. might find it necessary to excuse himself. This is a difficult tiling to do. no matter how tactfully he may be able to accomplish it. If a woman calls up another wo man it should always Ik: the \yoman who calls up who brings the conver sation to a close. Long telephone are does the calling may have plenty of tidie to engage in such a conversa tion- the party ut the other end of the fiuo may be engaged in some very important occupation. but would be too polite to make this known.
