PAGE TWO BANKERS ATTEND DURHAM MEETING F. B. Robards Presides At Session To Discuss New Bank Set-Up A group of Henderson bankers at tended the meeting in Durham Thurs day night of the Group Four section of the North Carolina Bankers Asso ciation, at which time the new code for the banking business was dis cussed, together with the new scale of charges to be imposed in banking services after the first of the year- There was general agreement on the proposals submitted, and which have already been approved by group meet ings in other parts of the State. But no announcement will be made as to the set-up until all groups have given their approval, or until it has been found that there will be no changes in the schedules. Frank B. Robards, cashier of the First National Bank here, is president of Group Four and presided at the meeting Thursday night, which was held at the Washington Duke hotel. Attending the meeting besides him were J. C. Gardner, manager of the insurance department of that bank, and W. A. Hunt, president, and K. L. Burton, executive vice-president of the Citizens Bank and Trust Company. baptisTsprepare ENROLLMENT DRIVE J. Edward Allen Leading Campaign In Tar River Baptist Association In the Baptist churches of North Carolina preparation for the annual enrollment is nearing completion. On or near December 3 it is expected that the churches will observe loy alty day. J. Edward Allen of War renton is leading the movement in the Tar River Asociation which em braces churcnes in Vance, Franklin and Warren counties. In this program North Carolina is keeping step with other states in the Southern Baptist Convention. There is, however, a n«w emphasis this year in North Carolina. In the enroll ment in North Carolina the members of the churches will be asked first of •ill to give themselves in service, and then asked to undertake to contri bute a definite amount for the sup port of the local expense of the church and for the objects fostered by the denomination. These objects are Missions. Foreign, Home and State, Christian Education and Bene volence, with the exception of the or phanage. This last named institu tion depends for its support upon once-a-month offering in the Sunday schools and a Thanksgiving offering. In order to provide for a real dedi cation, a double card has been dis tributed among the churches, part noe challenging each member to give himself and part two to give of his income. Reports indicate that the enroll ment this year will be unusually suc cessful. It is believed that this suc cess will be due to the fact that the appeal is made not only for funds but for personal service as well; that' the spirit of unity in the churches as wel as in the denomination at large has never been finer; and that the people on the whole have more which they can and will give. Re cently the State Convention met in Greensboro, and the reports of that meeting indicate that the Baptist peo pie are united and face the future with high courage. There are at present 2,375 church es in the state and on the rolls of these churches about 440,00 Omem bers.

DRUG STORE HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25,, 1933 »3 &L s , Will Rogers is an old-fashioned physician in the Fox photoplay, “Doctor Bull,” but not too old-fashioned to take an interest in what one wouid see through a microscope. “Doctor Bull” is the screen presentation at the Stevenson Theatre Monday and Tuesday Stark Tragedy Seen By Duke Legal Aid Clinic Dealings With Poor Show How “The Other Half of The World Lives’ f ; Swnidlers Prey on Impoverished Victims from the Cradle to the Grave Durham, Nov. 25.—How “the other half” of the world lives —or tries to live—is a trafic portrayal witnessed daily by the staff of the legal aid clinic of Duke university, known as “the poor man’s” law office. Substantiated stories by scores of impoverished clients reveal not only conditions of want but a double por tion of misfortune in the loss of what little they have, sometimes through the inexorable processes of civil law, but more often by the villany of swin dlers and malefactors. ‘‘From the cradle to the grave the poor man is the victim of the on slaughts of swindlers, vultures and scavengers who endeavor to take from him the little that he has,” declares Prof. John S. Bradway, director of the clinic, in reference to such cases. “The swindler’s greatest cloak for his villany is the fact that his victim is to poor to start suit, too uninform ed to know his rights, and too frightened to protect himself. The Duke legal aid clinic has investigat ed many such cases, and where the client has right of action definite re medical steps are taken. The clients acts in behalf of the client only if he is found to be unable to pay an at torney’s fee, otherwise the clinic with darws and the client is free 1o choose his own lawyer.” Professor Bradway cited the recent case of a boy who lost a leg during the course of his employment and whose compensatory money was turn ed over to his guardian. Promising to keep the money safe, the guardian occasionally paid the boy small a mounts without telling him whether they were interest or principal. Re peatedly the boy was put off when he requested information, but eventually the guardian admitted that he had lost all the money and attempted to pro tect himself by assigning his property. Finally realizing that his guardian had not played fair, the boy appealed to the clinic. An investigation of the in cident is now under way. Orphans Swindled. In another like case a guardian was appointed for two orphan children, their estate consisting of a piece of property worth not more than S2OO. Except for the friendliness of rela- DUKE OF THE SOUTH By JadTSords ST' ■" ITT ! ; : v % WgR k lBe lAivMtep i 6 fiePßesewt T(\£ EAST /AJ TAE AaJAJUAI *&tSig&, AT '**’♦* To TMg g£6£ Bou/u " UJITAfIUT DEFEAT; tives the little ones were without sup port. Nevertheless ,the guardian for a number of years has refused tt> make any accounting of the small property, and following the request of the children’s friends, the Duke clinic is compiling information in the orphan’s behalf. A third case involving children is that of a mother of several children whose husband has deserted her and gone to another state. He returns at intervals 1o frighten his wife into giv ing him a divorce, but will not pro vide for her support and that of the children. There is a remedy in such cases, and the clinic is endeavoring to see that the rights of the mother and childien are assured. Typical of advice sought by many of the clinic is that asked in the fol lowing letter: “We were obligated to a bank which failed. We are unable to pay the obligation because I am out of work. They have taken a judgment against me and are planning to sell the home. Please tell us what we may do about it and what we may expect from them.” Os these and similar matters, Pro fessor Bradway points out, some can be carried throuh to completion, oth ers upon investigation turn out to be cases in which there is enough in volved to warrant a lawyer charg ing a fee. As the cases first appear in the clinic it often looks as though there is no possible chance to do any thing. In these cases the clinic is pri marily interested in studying the facts of (he case and later on handing it over to some lawyer to br» selected by the client at his discretion. Daily the clinic offices, situated in the university law school building, are sought out by persons with tales of misfortune, not only involving finan cial matters but family troubles, cri minal actions, and other complaints as varied as human associations them selves. It is a veritable cross-roads of life where a portion of the world’s “other Half” seeks aid and direction, Antwerp, one of Europe’s chief ports, on the River Scheldt ,is 35 miles from the sea. ©fetipVE WA3ER / - —VS/-2.— (no* -Wc6jhr © CHAPTER 5S THE APARTMENT was cold and dark. I.izetta had Informed no one of her impending arrival, so that the heat was ill turned off and the shades were drawn. The silence and desolation of the place matched her own mood, exactly, Lizetta thought. And she was glad that she had come home. After she had paid the cab driver and closed the door, she stood for a while in the semi-darlcness gazing about her at the familiar rooms. They were the only place that she could call home. And they did pos sess a certain atmosphere of com fort and solidity. They might re semble all furnished apartments of their price class, but they also con tained many personal objects which Lizetta and her mother had collected and treasured for various reasons, and these added a certain Individual ity that was more comforting to Lizetta than she had anticipated. She drew off her gloves and moved through the half dozen rooms, turn ing on the heat, raising shades and pulling cords to draw aside brocaded hangings and admit the early morn ing light. It was a wan, gray light of February in New York—not such a flood of rose and gold as had been greeting her and Stuart on the beach in Florida every morning. But wasn’t the change in her own life just such a similar contrast, Lizetta wondered drearily. She thought, moving her luggage into her own bedroom, that she would telephone Phoebe, the maid whom her mother employed when they were in the city. But her hand halted even as she reached out for the telephone. She did not want another person there to watch her and talk to her. Why need she have anyone? There really was nothing for Phoebe to do. Certainly she could run out to any of the tea rooms in the vicinity for all the food she needed. And the activity of caring for the apartment would be only a welcome diversion from her lonely idleness. Yes, she decided, she would live there alone until she knew more about W’hat she wished to do. The rooms were soon comfortably warmed and Lizetta experienced a certain satisfaction in getting Jier self settled. Her interest was not keen, but the thought and effort which the work required were a. re lief from the tedious days of her journey. Once, when she carried an armful of articles to arrange on her dressing table, she picked up a framed photograph which stood there and gazed at it intently. A sad smile on her face faded to sober contem plation as she held it. The photogi’aph was the likeness of a beautiful little girl who held a toy in chubby hands and gazed back at Lizetta with wide, somber eyes in which there seemed to lurk a silent question. “Poor little Lolly! I know how SHOPLIFTERS GET SHORTJAIL TIME Rose and Penney Stores Ob ject of Grabbings In Petty Thievery Shoplifters who victimized the Rose 5, 10 and 25 Cent Store and the J. C. Penney Company store had prominent place in today’s session of the police court, and jail terms were given in each instance by Mayor Irvine B. Wat kins. Esther Haskins, colored, got ten days in jail and was taxed with the costs for the theft of a hat, suspend ers, gloves, stockings and a pin, all valued at $1.15, from the Rose store, and a similar judgment, the jail term to run concurrently, was imposed for the theft of two pairs of gloves, two remnants, a pair of socks and stock ings and pins, all valued at $3.56, from the Penney store. John Harrison, also colored, was charged with stealing a cap valued at 15 cents from the Rose store, and was sent to jail for three days and re quired to pay the costs. Charlie Twisdale, white, was fined $2.50 and costs on each of two charges one for being drunk and the other for possessing liquor. Bettie Adams, white girl, was charg ed with being drunk, and judgment was suspended, the costs being remit ted also, Department Cuts Widely Approved (Continued from Page One.) by the 1933 General Assembly, al though their salaries at first were $4,- 500 a year each. These were then re duced to $3,600 a year each and by the 1933 Genera) Assembly to $2,800 a year. The new law specifies that the new post of fish and game -war den shall not carry a salary of more than $3,000 a year. For the time be ing, however, the board instructed Di rector Bduce Etheridge of the depart ment tc act as fish and game war den, as well as director. This will save the department $468 a month in sal aries alone. The employment of both England and Hargett by the depart ment terminated immediately. Other activities of the conservation department discontinued by order of the board, are as follows: The State game farm, near Ashe boro, which cost $7,366 last year and $18,401 in 1931, and of which about SB,OOO was spent for new equipment. The State fish hatchery at Boone, at least for the duration of the pre sent biennium. One salaried employe of the game farm and two eniploj r es of the hat chery will be eliminated by this move. The equipment at the game farm will be transferred to the Frank Stedman fish hatchery near Fayetteville and to the Mount Mitchell State Game Re flJgQ. No action was taken by the board with regard to any reorganization of the field force of game wardens. But lonely you must be." Lizetta wnts- P°red. “1 think I shall take yon away with me somewhere and we may comfort each other. You need someone to belong to you, and so do 1, Lolly. I’ll come to see you this very afternoon." And after that, she worked faster as If her movements bad a purpose. She finished unpacking the bags which she had brought with her, by noon, with every article stowed away into Its proper niche or space. Lizetta was a tidy person who loved system and order, and lived by them. Perhaps that was because for so many years she had been practically a maid to her two sisters who al ways were dashing off to some new excitement and leaving behind them a chaos of clothes, toiletries and ac cessories, or returning from some where too weary to restore order. So that It was Lizetta, usually, who kept the family possessions tidied up for the sake of her own satisfaction. But having only her own to keep fn order now, it required so very little time; for an orderly person never creates confusion in the first place. When she had bathed and changed into warmer clothes, she went out and stopped into the nearest tea room for a light lunch. After all. she decided. It was better that she had some responsibility to occupy her time and attention. Had she not been going to see Lolly, she would have remained in the apartment with her gloomy thoughts and not even have had any lunch. Thoughts of Lolly crowded those of Stuart from her mind, also. She must stop somewhere for a toy or two. Let’s see, what had she taken to Lolly last? She was such a clever child that she dared not betray her own neglect of memory. Oh. yes, it had been a painting set for which Lolly had thanked her politely and graciously and then, later, she had ventured wistfully, “But I wish it. had been a sewing set. Don’t you think I could sew. Auntie Zetta?” So Lizetta set out in quest of a very grown-up sewing set, and added some cunning patterns and gay ma terials. She decided that a npw doll to wear the new dresses would not be unwelcome, and further reflected that it might be fun to help Lolly make the new clothes. For of course, the child could not really sew, but she could let her believe she was helping, and she might pass a few lonely hours making the youngster happy while she avoided other con tacts and planned how to continue on with her life. Hurrying out of the department store with her purchases, and just as she reached the avenue, she jostled into Virginia Kane. Recog nizing the girl before she turned around, Lizetta tried to dodge her. hut Virginia pounced upon her with effusive exclamations. “Lizzie! I didn’t know you were in New York! When did von get. I it did order the retention of the four present district game wardens until the next meeting, to be held sometime In January. The district wardens were also given more authority over the county wardens, with power to dis miss and appoint county wardens, with the approval of the Director of the department. Director Etheridge was also authorized to work out a more adequate scale of pay for county game wardens during the hunting sea sons, also to suspend thetr services after the hunting seasons are over if funds are not found to be sufficient, for their continuous employment. 6EE.YOU MU ST ft) f HAW.

That makes your return so timely. Yon must be sure to k come. I think it will be quite a success. Libby and Corrine are as sisting, and we’ve warped ourselves with new ideas. How’s all the crowd, anyway? Is Patty back?" “No, 1 came alone.

Did your bank fail and pauperize you, like they hav* everyone else? That isn't a bold, personal question any more, you know. It’s quite the thing to be a pauper." But her own smart sabla jacquette and model chapeau denied any such financial status. “No.” Lizetta replied quietly, "nothing like that. I only wanted to get home early this spring and see some snow and some busy crowds” Her eyes wandered over the throng ing, bustling avenue, and sparkled with the pleasure of their contem plation. “Weil, it’s good to see you again, anyway. And you’ll come to the party, because everyone else will he wanting to see yon. too.” “J’m sorry.” Lizetta demurred, ‘but. T can’t, make It, Virginia, Thanks a lot. darling, just the same.” Virginia was astonished. “Can’t, make it? Why’, don’t tell me you only arrived this morning and are all dated up, already?” “No. but I came back for a rest. It’s been such a mad whirl at the beach this season that I’m all fagged. And if you want to favor me. I’d rather you didn’t tell anyone you saw me. It would only add to the complications.” “You’re not. ill?” with concern. “Not. exactly. But I shall be if l don’t slow down for a while.” “Well, wait to apply the brakes after tomorrow night," Virginia coaxed, “and be a good sport. You can refuse all the other invitations. And besides seeing everyone you know, I’ll promise to introduce you to the swankiest fellow you ever glimpsed.
