MARRIAGES, PARTIES SOCIAL ACTIVITIES THREE MINUTES AWAY. It was just three minutes to Spring! Hurry, hurry; I told my heart, Lest we be late when the tulips start, And the early robin comes whistling. Hurry! I cried again and heard The hour strike and Spring was here. Traitorous heart, sighing “dear” and “dear.” Unmindful of tulips, heeding no bird! Kathleen Sutton. MANHATTAN DUSK. Day is over. Darkness grows. Over the river, rows on rows. The sharp lights twinkle out and rise Block upon molded block to close In scattered stars against the skies. Now settle to their brief repose The sound of wheels, the children’s cries.

(Central Press) “Drums of Death” Spring Play For Louisburg School Drums to Death, a thre act mystery play by Howard Reed has been chos en by the Dramatic Club of Louis burg College as the annual spring play. Drums of Death is expected to be even a greater success than the fall play Making Daddy Behave, which was well attended by people from all over the state. The try-outs for this play were made Monday night, and the cast was chosen by Miss Virginia Peyatt, head of the department of Spoken English and Dramatic Art, who will direct the play. The Louisburg College Dramatic Club is made up of students of the speech department and others show ing histronic ability. In Hospital Mrs. W. J.

Another Meeting. Another meeting has been called here for Thursday morning, to which all the members of the Interstate To bacco Committee, composed of tobac co men from Virginia, North and South Carolina, have been invited. The committee will meet in the office of Dean I. O. Schaub of State College and another effort is expected to be made to get all these three states to agree to the same plan of procedure, although this is expected to be dif ficult. Virginia Is Blamed. The greatest blow to the voluntary sign-up plan, it is agreed is the # defec tion of Virginia and the announce ment by Governor George C. Peery, of Virginia, that the tobacco farmers there are not interested in the volun tary sign-up plan proposed by Gover nor Ehringhaus, but are going ahead with the Federal government soil con servation sign-up plan, under the soil conservation bill. South Carolina also seems to be showing very little inter est in the Ehringhaus voluntary sign up plan. Reports from Washington also are not so bright for the inter state pact plan, indicating that Con gress is proceeding very slowly with its bill to validate State compacts for reducing tobacco acreage. So, altogether, the outlook for any thing definite to be accomplished to wards controlling the 1936 tobacco crop is not regarded as very bright. Faces Oil Crisis Gov. E. W. Marland Hint of possible military rule hangs over Oklahoma City with announce ment by Governor Marland that he would call out state militia to halt oil drilling by private companies in land which drains the rich fluid from under state property.

Y of them in poverty at government ex pense and do nothing for the rest.” A FLAW There is a flaw, of course, in the reasoning of manufacturer and work er alike when higher price is believed a solution. The solution—as the majority of economists seem to see it —is a low ering of costs so that sale prices can be considerably and comprehensively lower. A general sharing in the resultant earnings, then, would bring about the increased purchasing power (and at the same time relieve the jobless) and start the wheels a-going. The U. S. population of 127 millions needs for replenishments alone all that Amer ica can produce. But maldistribution of income and increments and inflat ed prices invoke a general poverty over what should be a land overflow ing with prosperity. NOT LIKELY TO RESPOND TO ROOSEVELT’S APPEAL By CHARLES 1. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, March 26.—Industry generally is not regarded in Congress as a bit likely to respond favorably to President Roosevelt’s recent appeal to it to take up the slack of unem ployment by something of a cut in its own profits.

For one thing, it is foreseen that managements will be unwilling to cur tail dividends by shortening hours and taking on more help, thus increasing expenses. Even if some are disposed to do so, the legislators’ best guess is that the proportion of recalcitrants will be large enough, though perhaps they will 'be in a minority, to make it impossible for the others to stand their competition. Besides, New Dealers are highly skeptical that the bulk of big busi ness is inclined to aid the present White! House regime. MAf*S PROSPERITY ? It is not, of course, assumed that the average big businessman would acquiesce in a prolongation of the de pression if he himself were still feel CHURCH SOCIETIES ANNOUNCEMENT ing it. But he isn’t. He has been doing fairly well of late; isn’t affected yet by the lag in the revival of employment. Later he may be, but just now he considers that times are improving—and so they are (temporarily) from his standpoint He does not weigh the future’s pos sibilities that his own prosperity (of today) is sure not to last if it is pot followed speedily by more mass pros perity. Or maybe it is his judgment that his prosperity will automatically bo followed by prosperity for other folk. Maybe he is right, too. Who knows? There have been recoveries from past depressions, and they had to start with somebody. CAN MERELY WARN Anyway, the big businessman of this era is satisfied with his personal improvement and does not desire it jeopardized by Rooseveltian plans. What is more, with NRA knocked out by the Supreme Court, the admin istration cannot enforce it. It can merely warn, or possibly threaten— that industry will have to reabsorb its unemployed, or the government will take care of the unemployed to the tune of one and one-half billion dol lars’ worth. And industry will have to take ca-e of that item—by paying it in wages or by paying it in relief taxation. DON’T STARVE TO END FAT!
