Janies »lanUin<* Ediior-in-Ohief Jfanc.v I’arliam Assisfani Editor Paulino Jenkins Typist S. 31. Crowder Sponsors , .Maxine I'aylor I XEXI’KC TED HOLIDAY On Thursday and Friday of last y-i»ek all schools in IJcnderson were closed except The high school. Lhis was mane necessary by The unusually poor attendance. The grammar schools had forty per cent of the en rollment out on last Wednesday ami a much greater per cent out on Thurs day morning. This record which was caused by The measles epidemic and the large numbei of colds and eases of flue in The city, rcnllv n< cessitated the closing of the schools affected. High school had during all of last week a very good attendance, having, on Wednesday only thirty-seven ab sences out of lOd enrollment. These absences did not affect the yearly at tendance record sufficiently to war wart the closing of this school. The. reason that this school and all others ir. the county want t<> have a high rate of attendance is that the state j bases the number of Teachers which j it allots to a school on the attendance record. Another reason that hinder ed the closing of High School was that we were in the midst *>J mid-term examinations. The majority of the high school stu dents are very glad that it was not necessary to close high school. NA e feel that wo have had enough unex pected holidays with the extended Christmas vacation, we want to go to se.hool now so that wo shall not have to go so late iu the spring, and we feel That we would not have been able to do as creditable work on our examinations if They had been post poned. We ore going to try to keep our attendance up so that our school will not have to close. Barks of the Mastiff K.ditor: \1 Wester EXAMINATIONS We are now in one of the two very trying puiods of Senior existence mid term examination, and the re sults of our labors for this year will be seen very soon now. All of the seniors started out this year with equal chances for graduation so there ir no excuse or reason why all of the seniors shouldn’t graduate. Os course there will be failures but we all start ed out with a fine chance for passing and if we cannot make pbe' grade: it will be simply because of the fact that we were lazy and inefficient. Senior Squad Members We are all very proud of the fact that four, out of five members on the basketball squad this year are seniors each one having had basketball ex perience before. The senior mam bers who occupy positions on the squad are: Ransom Duke, center; Roscoe Stair.baok. guard; Edwin Wilk inson, guaid; .lames (Ruddy) Ed wards, forward. We are all proud of these players because of their fine .‘•bowing, so far this year. They all played an excellent game with Mid dleburg, and made a. very good show ing at Roanoke Rapids. Our hats are off to you, boys! Keep up the good work. I,’IXCONM' Hardly any one seems to have been gallivanting this past week. Maybe examinations were the cause It seems that the new girl on North William Street is trespassing on other people’s property. Somebody better watch out for Mr. Senior President, maybe Nellie is sponsoring this. Everyone knows that those little thinks arc you mail letters with. Well, add “er” and you will have The new flame of the damsel on Andrews Ave nue. If not. he seems to boa regular \’lsitor. Now' what about that affair on dark Street of the pianist, and the sophomore on Gholson Avenue. Or is that an affair? Anyway, as in the above casA. he also is a regular visi tor.

After an exciting speakership race. Congressman Robert Johnson was elected head of the House and Sena tor A. H. (Sandy) Graham, speaker of the senate. On Thursday night, January seventeenth, Governor Eh ringhaus read his message to a joint se.s.' ton. He spoke mainly on the com ing year and he favors giving the teachers of the public schools a fif teen per cent raise. What will the legislators do about this? Already a bill has been offered to provide pensions for teachers disab led so they cannot teach, if they arc more than 60 years old and have haught in the State for thirty years. The appropriation committee has been kept very busy. It has reinvest ed $1 86,000 more than the recommend ed figures of sll-1,700 for the division of vocational education, by the De partment of Public Instruction. This money, with the aid of the Federal and County appropriations, would al low horn economics, business, and com mercian courses to be taught in more of the public schools. Another bill which would increase the safety for the country children who come to school on buses is the bill which would prevent minors from driving school buses and would re sult in all busses having steel bodies and non-shattering glass. These are the bills so far present ed to the assembly which would affect schools. At this critical time, what will the Legislature do towards edu cating the boys and girls of North Carolina?

The girls lost with the score 32-23; the ! boys won 26-19. Several Sophomore girls played in the game.

Everyone wonders why the stu dents did not think of examinations last fall when they were attending j some show or reading a book or list j ening to the radio. Maybe they did ; but examinations seemed so very far off that no attention was paid to * them. It might be a good idea to j imagine that the finals are just around the corner and start preparing for i them right now. 1 In order for a pupil to get the most . out »f his lesson, he must study hard j and try to put his or her mind on the ; subject. Studying does not mean rae morizing what is in the book; it means ‘ to understand, to see through a thing, ; and to wake up examples other than I those In the book. There are many hoys and girls who did not use their time to the best ad ! vantage, or who did not pass, or who did not study enough in the first se- I master, which ends tomorrow. Al though it is a bit late for New Year Resolutions, these boys and girls can resolve to put more time on study ing and a little les time with that girl with browr. hair or That good looking boy. Naturally it is more i pleasant to be with the girl or boy I friend than to study, but there is ] enough time to spend having a good mm he Doubleheader Carded For High Price Court Tues day Evening at 7:30 Henderson high school basketball teams will play a doubleheader at High Price warehouse Tuesday night, the first game getting underway at 7:30 o'clock. Bethel Hill boys and girls will be the opponents. This will be the first meeting of the year between the teams, but com parative strength of the clubs can be shown by the scores of previous games with teams both have played. Henderson boys defeated Middleburg boys by a close margin, and Middle b'*rg boys have won and lost a game to Bethel Hill. Henderson girls drop ped their contest to Middleburg girls and the Middleburg girls have bowed twice to Rctho I Hill by decisive scares. 1 A gcjhd crowd is expected to turn out to witness the contests, which : promise to be hard fought one*y , .

Few boys or girls like 1o be called book-worms and still fewer are book worms, but even so the books should not be allowed to get dusty. It is also true that “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," so everyone make up your mind to do more studying for the rest of this school year.

Jan. 28.—1 n accordance with a resolution adopted by the Forty-Third Continental Congress of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, last April ! in Washington, the North Carolina, i State- Regent, Mrs. W. H. Bclk, of , Charlotte and Mrs. T. C. Tnrnage. of, Farmville. chairman of ’ fhb; state,-. A. R. committee on student brgarifza ; tion, are announcing state plans for the “Ruth Bryan Owen Plan for Good Citizenship” which provides for a yearly patriotic pilgrimage to Wash ington of a girl from each of the 18 , states, selected from the senior classes of the public schools and the D. A. R. approved schools as an outstand ing student from that state. | This plan- for this year in North ! Carolina has been approved by Clyde Erwin, state superintendent of public instruction, who heard its details j from Mrs. Turnage and declared that he would be glad to cooperate with the D. A. R. members in any way j that he can through his department l to make ti a success. Competitors for the honor of being j the senior girl chosen from North i Carolina to represent this State in Washington this spring will be chosen in each town of the State where a D. A. R, chapter is located . The choice must (be made by the student body of the respective schools, ap j proved by the faculty. The following qualifications will be used as a basis for the selection : P f the local winners: points of char actor, such as honor, intergrity, coux*- age and patriotism; record of scholar ship leadership and service.

As evidence of that it is only necessary to point out that one or two speakers for the Fair Tax As ■ sociation, who appeared before the ! committee in opposition to the tax, struck a defeatist attitude when they told members of the committee, that j they had no doubt already made up ! iheir minds to levy the sales tax. One i speaker said. “Nothing we can say will alter your attitude.” Good Progress. Made. The joint appropriations committee Stevenscm —Wednesday and Thursday Bpk I|| im ::_jSBSSIBS^p Fredric March and Norma Shearer in “The Barretts ol Wimpole Street” sped on its way. Although it did not complete its scheduled 50 hearings, it did get 37 of them out of the way, and thereby confounded its critics who had said that it would not com plete half its slate. Most observers are inclined to think that the committee willi ncrease total appropriations. Some of them set the approximate in crease at $3,000,(MX). This committee al so resumes its hearings tomorrow. Formulation of a driver's license bill iby a sub-commiixee on roads was an outstanding performance of the work. The committee bill is expected to be passed substantial! as written. It is a comprehensive measure, a fore runner of legislation toi ncrease the highway patrol, in whose hands en forcement of the measure will ibe placed. Indications are that the patrol will be increased to a probable strengt of 200. The driver’s license bill provides for free licenses to be issued until November 1, when the bill is scheduled to become law, and after that date would assess a fee of one dollar for private operators’ li censes, good for an indefinite period, and a two-dollar annual charge a gainst chauffeurs. Increase Workmen’s Law. A bill increasing the scope of the workmen’s compensation act was in troduced by Representative Gardner, of Cleveland. It has the approval of the State Insurance Department and the governor. The bill would require all insurance companies writing that type of insurance in the State to ac cept allu ndesirahle risks insurable under the compensation act. and would place occupational diseases un der the act. In the event that the i companies withdraw from the State, it would result in the State entering : the compensation insurance field by ; setting up a fund for that purpose. The bill, which most . observers be lieve will be approved, would settle the difference now existing between j the companies and the insurance de ' part.ment. r >' f 'if.' Other Measures. Bill* to compel parents to have their children vaccinated against dip htheria. reducing automobile license costs, charging fraternal, charitable, ! and religious organizations a sls fee for a charter, providing a $25-monthly • pension for school teachers who have ; taught 30 years or more, establishing ; a. tuberculosis sanatorium in western i North Carolina, abolishing nudism and obscene literature, memorializing Congress to help increase the price or potatoes, and forbidding county chair men from becoming candidates for , office were among other pieces of legislation offered during the week. The proposal to compel fire insurance companies to pay the face value of • policies in cases of total loss was vot ed down by the House Insurance Com mittee. j It was a quiet week. Not a single bill was introduced in either House | Saturday. , If, however, the finance and appro i priations committees continue their present burst of speed their bills will be ready far ahead of expectations. ' Then will come action in i tbfr legisla ■ ture. t ' -.- : Three Bills Up Tonight. > Only three bills will confront the | legislature on its calendar when it meats tonight at eight o’clock to start another week of legislating. All three are on the House calendar. The Sen ate will start from scratch, its calen dar ibeing a blank. Among the House bills is Represen j tative Charlie Jonas’ bill to permit superior court judges to sentence to life imprisonment instead of to the electric chair those prisoners found guilty of capital crimes when and if the jury recotpnxends mercy. The bill was reported unfavorably in commit tee by a vote of .10 to 8. Tam Bawie opposed it bitterly. On that occasion Jonas looked at Bowie, saying, “I knew you’d do that.” They have long : been political enemies. Last week, i however, when the bill came to the i House floor with a minority report 1 Bowie arose from his seat, explained I that Jonas was unable to ibe present j because, he had to attend a term of i superior court, and asked that action on the bill be deferred until his re i turn. Tonight, when Jonas returns, ; Bowie’s gallantry will ibe gone. He i will fight against the measure, Jonas ‘ would like to abolish capital punish ment altogether. Hitch-hiking Representative Bow ers’ potato resolution is on the book, j too. Members of the committee con | .sidering the bill couldn’t see eye-to ; eye with Bowers, or mayetb it was the potatoes. Any way, they added sweet • potatoes to the resolution, which asks i Congress to raise their price and re ported it favorably. Representative Norwood’s (of San j ly) bill repealing the $lO license tax ■ on stallions and jacks in service is : on the favorable calendar. It has no ' reference to members of the legisla ture. Galleries Ffli. Dbn't get the impression, however, that is all that will come before the legislature. Remember, it’s Monday night. That’s the night when the gal leries are filled with spectators, and applause welcome to a legislator’s ears, Is most frequent. Some have been unkind enough to say that many wait until Monday night to introduce bills and make speeches. “Mr. Presi dent!”—the very sound of it is en- hanccd by reason of a gallery filled with curious spectators. Dr. Burr us, senator from Guilford, may loosen up and introduce a bill at last.. And then there’s the striking ; figure of Senator John Sprunt Hill. ! No doubt but that his appearance— he really looks like a senator —had ; something to do with that front seat ; he occupies. You know it doesn’t do a bit of harm to dramatize the Sen i ate. It could not be learned today ; whether Senator Hill will use that ! megaphone in tho Senate tonight. It ; was presented to him at. that dinner 1 given by Senator Horton the other I night. , Wagoner And Lewis Push Social Laws (Continued from i*age One.) j in cnee in short order generally will be j found to have his name identified es | pecially with some particular line of j legislative activity. j For example, one thinks siniultane -1 ously of Senator Carter Glass and j the country’s banking system; simul ! taneously of Senator Morris Shepherd : and the late prohibition experiment; ’ simultaneously of Senator Hiram W. 1 Johnson and of opposition to Ameri i can participation in world court pro ! deeding.? 7 simultaneously of Repre i tentative Hamilton Fish and investi- J gation of communism’s spread thre | ughout the land; simultaneously of | Representative WVight Patman and j the soldiers’ bonus; simultaneously of : Representative James M. Mead and ; postal problems. i And one thinks of Senator Robert ;F. Wagner and of Representative David J. Lewis particularly in connec i tion with social security concerning S which we have been hearing a vast f deal recently. I INTERESTING INDIVIDUALS j Senator Wagner of New York and ! Representative Lewis of Maryland partners for seevral years in their < respective congressional chambers in ! a determined campaign for unemploy i merit insurance, old age pensions and { other forms of protection for the masses are a pair of the most inter esting individuals on Capitol Hill. Each of them “roughed it” in youth | but in very different ways. The German-born senator whose parents brought him to the United ! States in his infancy did his boyhood ! “roughing it” in the streets of Man j hattan. , The representative, born in Penn sylvania., a Welshm iner’s son, picked coal as a breaker lad from the age of nine, and later toiled under ground until he was 23. The senator knew hardships aplenty Neevrfheless, educational opportuni ties, which he fought to gain, existed in his big home town. With degrees from the College of the City of New York, and the New York aw school. Wagner rose rapidly at the Gotham bar to the supreme and then the ap pellete bench—was a successful prac titioner and influential politician as a comparative young man. The representative never spent, a day in a school room. He learned to read in a Bible class. Two years after reaching his majority however he, too', was admitted to the bar. One of the most erudites olons in Congress spoke of the Marylander not long ago as the best Latin scholar he ever met. Senator Wagner probably is a bet ter politician (he has a Tammany training) than Representative Lewis, but it is questionable that he is so sound a.n economist. May Permit Whisky For Its Revenue (Continued from Page One.) set up a liquor control plan in its place should be proposed right now it would be decisively defeated. But even some of the most ardent per sonal and political dry members of the assembly admit that more and more thought and discussion is being given to the legalization of liquor as a possible new source of revenue, and that 60 or 70 days from now there may be a possibility of getting a li quor control law through the assem bly. There are some who believe that an alliance has already coon formed or is in process of being formed between some of the real estate men of the State, the merchants and the wets for the primal y purpose of increasing State revenue, so that other taxes, especially the sales tax ana property taxes, may he reduced. One thing that seems to have given impetus to this idea is the report, heard from | Charlotte to the effect that Robert Lassiter, a large property owner and real estate man there, has started an active drive for th e legalization of liquor bolh to increase the revenue of the .State and to bring about bet ter moral conditions. The fact that several of the speakers for the North Carol in... Fair Tax Association advo cated legalizing liquor as a means of getting more State revenue and as a partial substitute for the sales tax. in its hearing before the joint finance committees, a few days ago, caused some observers to think that this or ganization might advocate the legaliz- of "liquor'~ah(l a tax oh it. Still pothers have thought that the North i Carolina Me.rchants Association might join with the Fair Tax Association, and the real estate men and the w ets | nr general in an effort to legalize li— j quor and remove all -or part o, the i sales tax. But there seems to be. no founda j tion whatever for tile belief that there I li s an organized effort under way or 1 i in process of being formed to repeal I State prohibition and legalize liquor. Denials Are 3lade. The eehoes had hardly died away j following the Fair Tax Association j hearing, during whichr epeal and li quor were mentioned, before John Paul Leonard, secretary of the asso ciation, issued a statement denying all responsibility for those speakers s who had mentioned liquor and as ; sorting that his roganization had i never, at any time, even considered 1 a liquor tax as even a partial sub- I stitute for the sales tax. I “The association has never consid -1 ered a liquor tax in any of its dc j liberations,” Leonard said. “We do not now nor do we expect to propose a liquor tax as a. substitute for the sales j tax.” j One of the speakers who mention j e.d the taxing of liquor several times | and who was roundly applauded by j those present, was not even a mem -1 ber of the Fair Tax Association, Leon ard said. 3lerchants “I nnoeent.” Nor has the North Carolina Mer '■ chants Association, thougn almost as bitterly opposed to the sales tax as . the fair taxers, even discussed a tax on liquor, as even a partial substitute 1 for the sales tax, Willard L. Dowell, ; executive secretary of the association, . j said today. “We have discussed many different 1 types of taxes as possible substitutes for the sales tax in our meeting, but ; l have, yet to hear the subject of a tax on liquor mentioned.” Dowell said. “The. association has never dis ; cussed if and hence eoukt not join in j any move to back a liquor tax and , 1 km confident that it will not ad . vocate any such tax or join in any ; movement to repeal .State prohibition , j and legalize liquor. There are un ; doubtedly individual merchants who ' favor legal liquor and a liquor law. t just as there are many who are ar i dent drys. But I feel certain that , : the merchants association as an or ganization will not, at any time, ad vocate. or join in the advocacy of legal liquor for the purpose of revenue or anything else.” i When asked if the merchants as • ! sociation would oppose any move to • i repeal the prohibition law' and le ‘ gaiize liquor. Dow'ell said he could not j speak for the organization as to tRAt j point. But he was emphatic in in r i sisting that the association would not j advocate or support such a move. Denial for Realtors. J Nor have, the organized real estate • ! men of the State even discussed the legalization of the sale of liquor, ac ’ cording to C. F. Goohega.n, Jr., of • | Greensboro, chairman of the North 1 Carolina Association of Real Estate j Boards, when questioned as to this • j point over long distance telephone. I i “The question of prohL-btiion repeal, • | liquor control or a tax on liquor has L : not been mentioned in any meeting • : or either the realtors or of its leg -1 j islative committee,” Geohegan said. • j “Any report to the effect that the • • taxing liquor is nothing but a pipe j dream. We have not joined in any I movement to legalize and tax liquor j and shall not.” ( He intimated that the suggestion j that the real estate people had join -1 ed with the anti-sales tax organiza ' ; tions in a common cause w'as ridi j culous on the face of it,s ince the real - | estate boards are advocating the re . j tention of the sales tax as vigorously ■ ! as Leonard and Dow'ell and their or . ! ganizations are opposing it. Others questioned here, including . i experienced lobbyists who are regard . I ed as knowing what is going on be hind the scenes better than any oth . ers, agreed that so far there is no . organized effort advocating repeal of , prohibition and the legislation of li i quor. There is not a single liquor lob , I bvist in Raleigh and has not been, . : so far as can be learned and not a . dollar is being spent by anyone in behalf of liquor. : | Famous Quartet To Sing; Here Friday ! ; * Reported to the Dispatch) ; The Knoxville Collesre Quartett oF I Knoxville, Tcnn., will appear in a | recital at Henderson Institute Audi ! torium Friday night Feb. 1, 1935.
