Memorial Held For
Mrs. W. T. Rowland
During the exercises of the D. A. R.
District Meeting held yesterday at the
West End Country Club, memorial
exercises were held at twelve o’clock
for a beloved member, Mrs. Ida
Beardsley Rowland, whose tragic
death occurred the day previous.
At the noon hour, all 'business
ceased and amidst an intense silence,
Mrs. J. M. Peace entered from the
rear, hearing a beautiful floral de
sign, and marched slowly down tne
center aisle to the rostrum, then turn
ing, faced the audience, where she
stood holding the emblem throughout
the exercises. Rev. I. W. Hughes read
a Scripture lesson and made a short
talk about Mrs. Rowland, her loyalty
and helpfulness at all time to the D.
A. R. Society, her wonderful ability
combined with so much sweetness of
character, her home life and hc*r
church work.
After the benediction, nearly a hun
dred Daughters remained standing
paying a silent tribute to their de
ceased sister, while Scout Billy Powell
sounded Taps.
The Old Bute Chapter attended the
funeral in a body and the Regent
placed the emblem on the grave.
Dredges Start At
Once At Morehead
(Continued from Page One.)
that Colonel Hackett advised Gen
eral Markham that “if you desire,
you may now safely proceed with the
dredging work.’’
“This letter, authorizing the U. S.
Army engineers to go ahead with the
dredging of thc channel whenever
they see fit, undoubtedly means that
we are just about at the end of the
red tape through which we have been
struggling for two years in an effort
to make the Morehead City port a
reality,” Governor Ehrnighaus said
today. “I do not possibly see how any
thing more can now develop to delay
either the construction of the port ter
minal itself or the dredging of the
channel.”
Coincident with the instructions to
the army engineers to proceed with
the dredging of the Morehead City
channel, the PWA released to them
the allotment of approximately sl,-
500000 which was set aside for this
work.
In addition to the dredging of the
channel to a minimum depth of 30
feet at low tide, announcement was
made several weeks ago by Senator
J. W. Bailey that the U. S. engineers
had decided to flank the channel with
3 000 feet of grantic jetties where it
will cross the bar opposite Fort
Macon and the other point across the
inlet. The channel will have a mini
mum width of 100 feet. When com
pleted it will make it possible for all
the larger ocean-going ships, both
coastwise and foreign, to enter the
Morehead City port without the need
of a pilot. It is only three miles from
i the open sea to the port terminal site.

RECREATION AREA
YED
Government To Buy 6,000
Acres Between Raleigh
and Durham
Diapatoii Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel,
IIY J. C. BASKERVILLE,
Raleigh, Oct. 12.—Purchase ’of 6,-
000 acres of land in the Wake county
between Raleigh and Durham, to be
developed as a recreational area has
been authorized, it was announced to
day by James M. Gray, regional di
rector of the division of land utiliza
tion, Resettlement Administration.
An allocation of $84,000 has been
made for this project and options
are now being accepted on the acre
age selected for puchase. All land be.
ing acquired has been voluntarily of
fered for sale to the government by
its owners, who will be paid for their
land when the titles are approved by
the office of the U. S. Attorney Gen
eral.
The project, known as the Crab
tree Creek Industrial Recreational!
area, is being undertaken by the Re
settlment Administration as part of
its program demonstrating better
uses for land. Most of the land se
lected for the Crabtree project con
sists of farms which have been re
duced to an unprofitable condition by
severe erosion. The co-operation of
the National Park Service will be
enlisted in the development of the
recreational features of the project.
“Crabtree Creek provides an excel
lent example of how poor land can be
utilized for benefit of the community”
Gray said. Farmers now living on
land selected for purchase are glad
to sell out and move to more produc
tive lands. Needless to say, the peo.
pie of Raleigh and Durham will ap
preciate this dadition to their recrea
tional facilities which are now so in
adequate.”
Special efforts will be made by the
National Park Service for the develop
ment of the Crabtree Creek area for
families of lower income in the sur
rounding industrial towns. Co-opera
tion will be sought from the various
social agencies in these cities thro
ugh which arrangements may he
made to help families enjoy short va
cation periods in the new park area.

AN EXCELLENT REVIEW
A bird’s-eye-view of the world eco
nomic situation is presented by Dr.
Melchior Palyi, guest professor at the
University of Chicago and former eco
nomist for the Deutsche bank in Ber
lin.
We take the liberty of quoting from
g;n interview with Dr. Palyi by How
ard Wood, financial editor of the
Chicago Tribune, because it is a con
cise review of the entire situation.
Mr. Wood’s article reads:
“Every important nation, with the
possible exception of Great Britain,
Dr. Palyi points out, is still spending
much more than it receives in rev.
enues, borrowing to cover the deficit.
In the United States the government
is borrowing from the banks, with a.
consequent inflation of bank deposits
paralleling the rise in the national
debt.
“In central European countries, in
cluding Italy, where banks are either
unwilling or unable to lend to their
governments, he says, the govern
ments have hit upon the ingenious
scheme of simply confiscating the
hoards and bank deposits of .private
corporations and individuals, giving
them government bonds in exchange.
Then as the governments spend the
money on public works or boonodog
gling and it is redeposited in banks
it is confiscated again and respent by
the government. Each time, however,
there is less to confiscate. ’

REFORMS CLOSE
Louisburg, Henderson and

| Queen’s Contest conducted for the
Golden Belt Fair which will open in
Henderson one week from Monday
and continue throughout the week.

to the candidates to plan for their
own representatives to assist the com
mittee and the tellers in the final
count, as ballotting will be carried
o* in a dignified, quiet manner on the

is known as “blind voting” and not
the bizarre “auction voting” which is
usually resorted to.
Ballots will be counted again on
Tuesday and Friday next week, then
daily during the week of the fair.
Due to numbers of the young ladies
not having an opportunity to get their
votes in yesterday, it was decided to
indicate only the relatives order of
standing by the following groupings:
Group 1: “Miss Louisburg,” Kath
erine Weathers; “Miss Henderson,”
Lillian Kearney; “Miss Wise,” Louise
Holt Cole.
Group 2: “Miss Middleburg,” Re
becca Floyd; “the Misses Henderson,”
Betsy Goodrich, Elizabeth Rowland,
Edna Goodrich, Edna Davis, Vivian
Lowry, and Dorothy Hunt; “Miss Ep.
