To the Three Monks: You may be able to see all know all. ind tell all, but you have mimed same very choice scandal. I am surprised hat I should have to write to such a earned body to tell them of tholr ig norance about some things. However, I suppose that it would be Impossible ! for you to know aill of the good gos- L-ip. Below you will-find a few things that you never evVn dream about. The height of your ignorance ; is»slk^w n by your last column, writing about the “Great Big Man From The West.” “You are ail wet. He does raA. hbve all the girls on the fence, but quite on the other hand, most of the gtrte have him on the fence. But. to get down to business. Our great big man was seen on Sunday afternoon, riding out in the suburbs With a dark complenoned brunette. We are not afraid of the big buy so we will tell you about the lady. She is very dark oomplexioned, has long, black curly hair, has blue eye* (hat are almost black. And she has a smite that would knock the ptns out from under any great big mun. We learn that she Is very fond of flowers, espe cially the well known peach btoeeome that are so popular each spring. In foot, she bad a bouquet of them at the time of discovery. We hear that she can cook like nobody’s bUHfrne**, so our friend should feel lucky. We are sorry that this should have to onme ai. a vime like this when the poor boy is worrying about senior exams.

We noticed especially that he get stuc kwith our most capable math teacher at one time, but a tall good-looking blond saved bkn from her clutches. HU popularity Is shown by the fact that he did not have time to dance with the same girl twice. It was a different girl e«lich time we saw him. Who is he? The thief. The man who stole eight of the Junior's cup cakes and ate three helpings of ice cream? This man. one of our moet distinguished seniors was accused re cently of stealing the office cow. but cleared himself, but he has now shown his true nallure.

ANNUAL RECITATION AND DECLAMATION CONTEST The annual high school declama tion and recitation contest was held in Central School Auditorium, Friday night, April 22. It was one of the finest contests of any kind held here in several year*. The nine partici pant did good work, showing both talent and study. The stage, with Us setting of white dog-wood, made a spring-like background for the girls in their lacy frocks and the boy* in white flannel trousers and dark coat*. Mr. R. B. Cobb, the high school prin cipal. presided. He explained the idea of the contest at beginning and received the judges report. He also thanked Miss Lily Kyle, hUg* school faculty member, for decorating the stage and helping the contestants, in various contestants in various way*. The girl’s program was as follows: "Ma At The Basketball Gatne”— Black—Mb* Margaret Hannon. "Topsy" (From “Uncfle Tom's Cabin), t 9towe—Juanita Hester. "Strongheart”. Annonyomous—Miss VBrglrvia Rodgers. "A Plea For Peace”. Anonymous— Mis* Penelope Watkins. “A Plea For Peace nigh an)P 8 “Bobby Shafton”, Anonymous Miss Nancy Parham. The Judges awarded first place to Mis* Margaret Hannon, who certain ly characterized the proud mother beautifully Her facial expressions as well as her gestures, made her reading particularly good. All five redttationß were excellent in the eye* ■>f this reviewer, however. Mhn Vir ginia Rodgers in the story of a pro ->o«ed marriage of Indian and white Traklens. did some excellent character work. The old Indian detemined to ->revent the marriage, the jrcAing Li lian man. now chief by the deteth of his father, but determined to follow bis heart, the young girt, in love wiO he man, but strong enough to con dder the best thing to do—they were ill beautifully portrayed. Peri elope Watkins gave one of th' best readings," particularly from the tandpoint of selection. It was a re name of armament conditions in th world today and was given in a very pleasing manner. ', Nancy Parham and Juanita Hester did good work also. Nancy’s actec work was excellent and Juanita portrayed the negro character very well. The boy’s program included: ‘Constitution Anonymous, Edith Du Priest. “Give Us Men”—Platt. James Mills.

Cary, their opponent has a splendid reoord for this year. Having countered two win* over Raleigh Highs and one win over Rurtiam High, both of the latter team* rank among the top-notchers. The Henderson Athletics have begun to pick up here lately but they still haven’t equaled the record set us thus far by the Henderson high Bulldogs. The high team got off on a good start and the Athletics will have to win quite a few games to overtake them. While we hope the crew managed by Qtito Pahlruan wins every one of their remaining games, we Would like to see the Bulldog* end up their season with the best record. Those who witnessed the AU-Stars play Henderson high on Wednesday, probably got a real thrill out of wat ching some of the high school's form er star*.

FACUDTY MEMBER WRITES HOME FROM . V CANAL ONE Miss HalHe Beavers, former head, of the math department in the high school, is now teaching math in the Cristobal higti school, Cristobal Canal Zone. At editorial request, she has written of the bfe there and has also given us some information about the Zone. Contrary bo general opinion, says Mlse Boaveiis, the Panama Canal doe* no< run east and west. Due to the bend in the Isbbumas at this point extends from northwest to southeast, and the Pacific entrance is twenty seven miles ea&t, of. Che Atlantic end. The Canal Zone is only nine* deggrees, or some 600 miles, north of the equa tor and therefore has a tropical cli mate . To the average person Panama is synonomous with the canal and the canal with Panama. This idea is far from correct for tlhe Republic of Pan ama Is really a vast area of some thirty two thousand square mile* which k divided into eight provinces. The canal zone Is a urjp of land ex tending five miles on each side of the m,d<tle of the "big ditch.” It is. There fore, ten miles wide and reaches from deep water In one ocean to deep water In the other or a distance of about fifty miles. Over this zsone the United States government has absolute con toot, except for the two Panamanian 'cities: of. Colon on the Atlantic coast and Panama on the Pacific. Special provisions were made in the treaty excepting these cities; moreover the Canal Zone does not belong to the United States, but H is merely leased and is under American control, being governed by a Military Governor and his assistant* and the Lieutenant Gov ernor, who are appointed by the Pres ident of the United States for a period of four yeans. The history of the development of the canal may be traced back for some four hundred years to the at tempt to discover a water route to In dia. It was on . Columbus’* fourth voyage that he sighted the sho re s of Panama in May ISO 2. ‘ He'spent some time sailing on Limon Bay, which is the Atlantic entrance to. the Canal Tbe two cities of Crintbbal and Colon, when they were eetabliahed, were named so nim:; i / ; A few yeaih later the Spaniards made a settlement on the lattunus. which became the white, man's first home in America. Balboa became' governor of this first settlement. He married an Indian princess, and pro fited i by-it, . for th* Indians became his best friends. They kept telling him of gold and precious stone* he might obtain not far away on bhe other coast, but for sometime he was afraid to croeß the mountainous jungle.” At last he started out with one hundred and ninety men. They traveled very slowly, at the rate of about two mile.- a day. and reached the Pacific Coast in September 151 S. Balboa took pos session of the ocean in the name of Spain, and called it the “South Sea.' He made other trips to the Pacific, carrying the parts of dhlps. These h< put together again, and sailed upon that great body of water. In 1519. a wlhole century before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, the old city of Panama was founded on the Pacific coast. In 1932 Francisco Pizarro led an ex pedition southward on the Pacific ccaM and conquered the Incas, a re markable tribe cf Indians who lived in splendor'in the mountains of Peru To gel their treasure to Spain more easily tbe “Royal . Road was built across the Isuhmua. It was paved with stone and was said to be wide enough to accomodate two carts abreast. loarter the two Englishmen. Drake and Moggan, came along with their desperadoes and captured the poeses sions of the Spaniard*. They com pletely sacked old Panama and ~ then burned it. For many years after this there was very little travel acfdss the Isthmus. Thus the richest .highway the world has ever»krt>wn, 'TJxc Roywl Road” was allowed' to v grow up in Jungle vines atW flbwers. ‘today this road may be seen' In spots near' th.* PAGE THREE Canal Zone, though tea count Me* in some places matey mil as away. It was not until gold was dhmmrrrwl in California in 1849 that the increas ed traffic across the Lteiumm ranend a number of American to apply for a permit from the Colum bian government to build n railroad from coast to coant. The work was started in 1849 and in January 1855 the first train was run from ocean to ocoux. The building of this road ccrt about $7,000,000 and probably caused more hardship* and difficulties than the const ruction of any equal of miles ever undertaken. The United States attempted to na gotiaite with Columbia to get her to ex tend the time limit to tbe French fran -hise, (the French had tried to dig a canal) so that she could advantage l cusly purchase this. No agreement ~ould be reached, so in November 1902 Panama declared her Independence of Columbia and wtis almost immediately recognized as a republic by the U. S. >wift action followed and soon a treaty had been made with Panaxra, and a lease signed which gave control to tbe United State* of the strip of territory known, as the canal aoru*. The United State* then began her tupendous task, a thing could be •one. It mul be ■ done. After some thing like len years, and an expense of iboul $375,0()0.00n tne canal was open 'd to commerce ors August 15. 1915. A number of niett-names have been ;iven to this gigantic feat of engineer ng. among which are “Crc*nroads of rhe World." “Bridge of Water” ‘Bridge of the World!" “The Big Ditch, and “The Eighth Wonder of he World”. This herculean task, th* :rra!et-t of all history, makes one marv el at what mao has been able bo accomplish. DEVELOPMENT TENDS TO FINISHED ITEMS Im (he Kir Walter Hatel., Hally IMapatrh Ha re a a nv j. «\ hahkkhvili, Raleigh. April 25.—Industrial de velopment in North Carolina In the future will almost Inevitaoly be to ward plants producing finished goods, and the “Made in North Carolina” program to be observed the week of May 16-24 this year will serve to em nhaslze this trend, Col. E. W. Harrel oon. director of the N. C. Department xf Conservation and Development, which is sponsoring the movement, oiid today. The conservation director pointed out a survey of new plants starting operations in North Carolina during 1931 as confirming the trend toward manufacturing .plant* producing con sumers' or finished goods. Os the 102 new firms beginning operations dur ing the 12-month period? at least 77 and probably' more will produce fin ished goods.- Types of manufacturing which have been especially prominent in new in dustries established during recent years in North Carolina include food, hosiery, clothing, furniture, and min eral plaftts. Food plants led the list of new.-industries. 28, followed by hosiery mills with 12. The latter type •of“ mills, however, had considerably the lead in amount of investment in new plants.
