SOLID FRONT FOR
SAFETVTORECAST
Most Ministers in Carolinas
To Cooperate Tomor
row in Warnings
Charlotte, Juno 27. —Carolina min
isters will present a solid front Sun
day June 2s, by observing: “Safety
Sabbath" in a widespread movement
to lessen the annual July 1 traffic ac
cident toll, according: to reports of
the Safety Department of the Caro
lina Motor Club, which is sponsoring
the program.
Hundreds of ministers, representing
evrey denomination and creed, in
scores of communities throughout
North and South Carolina, will deliver
especial sermons on safety from their
pulpits Sunday and many Sunday
school programs have been arranged.
“No safety movement in the Caro
linas has been received with the
spontaneous acclaim and cooperation
from press, pulpit and public that has
been accorded ‘Safety Sabbath'." said
A. M. Huggins, director of safety of
the Carolina Motor Club.
“City ministerial associations, pas
tors of small churches in villages and
hamlets have heartily endorsed ‘Safe
ty Sabbath' and pledged themselves
to carry a message of safety and care
ful driving to their respective congre
gations. Governor Olin Johnson, of
South Carolina, has issued a proclam
ation urging leaders in religious and
civil lift' to observe ‘Safety Sabbath’ j
with appropriate programs. Governor!
J. C. R Ehringhaus has been asked i
to issue a similar proclamation in
North Carolina and mayors of scores
of munieipalties have proclaimed the
day.
“For the past seven years on July
4 an average of 233 accidental deaths
have been recorded over the nation —■
many of them in the Carolinas. Most
of these are attributed to traffic ac
cidents, which last year claimed a
total of 1,09 ft lives in North Carolina
and 364 in South Carolina. Drivers
should operate motor vehicles only
when they are mentally and physically
fit and should see that the vehicle is
mechanically fit. Extreme caution
should be exeicised by all drivers par
ticularlv on week-ends and holidays.’’

woodlands, tinder protection from for
est fires, already covering the widest
area in the history of the program,
are expected to he materially enlarg
ed after the beginning of the next
fiscal year, W. C. McCormick assis
tant State forester, said today.
Boards of commissioners in several
additional counties are consi.de'ring
th>e provision of funds for setting up
organization in cooperation with
the Department of Conservation and
Development for the control of forest
McCormick said.
Fifty-six counties are already ac
tively engaged in forest fire protec
tion and it is expected that the num
ber will be increased to at least 60
during the fiscal year beginning July
1. Most of the new counties are ex
pected to be in the extreme eastern
and western parts of the State. Pre
vious to the current, 44 counties were
the maximum engaged in the work
during a single year.
Some 1a,000.000 acres of the 20 1-2
million acres of forest lands in North
Carolina already have fire protection,
according to Mr. McCorcick, as com
pared with only about 6,000,000 acres
in 1933.
Under the plan of cooperation now
in effect, the county makes available
a fund equal to that provided by the
State for forestry work. Thus, Mr. Mc-
Cormick explained, double the amount
off funds provided by the county is
available for expenditure in forest fire
protection. The amount usually fur
nished by the county, he continued, is
figured o n the basis of one-half cent
per acre for the forested lands within
tjie county and when matched by the
State represents one cent per acre.
The assistant state forester declar
ed the value of forest fire protection
was demonstrated forcefully during
the recent severe fire season in which
counties without a control organiza
tion suffered more severely thnn those
equipped to suppress the flames. Huge
timber values were saved the cooperat
ing counties.

FARM PROGRAM IS
A FLEXIBLE SET-UP
So Much So Every Tar Heel
Farmer Should Partici
pate, Schaub Says
College Station, Raleigh, June 27. —
The new farm program has been
made so flexible that practically every
North Carolina farmer should parti
cipate in it to advantage.
With this statement, Dean T. O.
Schaub. of State College, called at
tention to the fact that special pro
vision has been made for small grow
ers and others who were not mater
ially affected by the old AAA.
No matter how small the farm, be
added, the maximum allowance for
soil-building payments will not be less
than $lO.
A farmer’s allowance, the dean ex
plained. is not the amount, of pay
ment a grower will receive, hut the
amount he is allowed to earn by grow
ing crops and carrying out practices
that improve the soil.
The soil-building payments will also
be a help to farmers who have a com
paratively small acreage of the prin
cipal son-depleting cash crops, but
who are r;-\ ' ’ -nil-con erving crops
on an extensive scale.
While tnc soil-conserving payments,
the dean continued, will be available
to growers who have been growing
more cash crops than is best for their
farms and who divert part of the cash
crop land into soil-conserving crops.
Cotton growers with a base of more
than five acres will bo able to receive
soil-conserving payments on diversion*
up to 35 per cent of their cotton ac
reage. Those with five acres or less
may divert as much as two acres. If
their base is two acres or less, they
may shift all their cotton land into
soil-conserving crops and receive pay
ment.
Dean Schaub also said that land us
ed for orchards and vineyards may be

creage when it is interplanted with
soil-conserving crops.

I ■ ■ COrVRIfIUTi RELEASED BY CENTRAL FRESH ASSOCIATION
It FAD Till ft FIRST:
Joan Spencer. a small town school
tender, remit Iy disappointed in lore,
is engaged as secretary to Julian
Sloane, noted writer. After a de
lii/hlful summer at Stoane's luxurious
summer home, Joan rejoins her em
ployer in New York following a trip
he makes to Europe. Sheila True,
actress and close friend of Sloanc's
who is jealous of his pretty secretary,
is the only disturbing factor in Joan's
life. fn New York Joan runs into
Donald Newberry, an old acquaint
ance, and sees him frequently. lie
makes love to her. Joan begins to
ponder if she is in love again—with
Donald. Belly, a former schoolmate,
shocks Joan when she tells her that
Donald is married. Joans friends
tell her that Julian Sloane is in love
with her but she is convinced that he
cares deeply for Sheila. Julian takes
Joan to sec Sheila act. Joan is deep
/;/ impressed.
(NOW CO ON WITH THE STORYJ
CHAPTER 30
' JOAN HADN’T ever expected to
*ce Donald again. She hadn’t told
him that, but she refused all his in
vitations and made a point of avoid
ing him when he might have been
at the C.oodscll parties.
Strangely enough, she ran into
him in a department store.
“Alone at last!” He grinned at her
and tucked her arm in his. “Young
woman, you’re not going to get away
from me this time. Don’t plead
work. You’re coming over to Tony’s
and tell me why you’re so inaccessi
ble.”
“All right, I’ll tell you,” she agreed
grimly.
“First let me tell you that you’re
the most attractive girl in New
York. I like your hat.” Donald
knew just the right thing to say.
“I’m glad you do.” Joan was
waiting for an opening.
Donald gave it to her. “All right.
Let’s have it. I detected a note in
your telephone voice that made me
feel I wasn’t aces with you.”
“You’re all right, Donald. You
just had a faulty memory. You for
got to tell me yc u are married.”
“Does it make a lot of difference?”
he inquired quietly.
“It does.”
“That must mean that you really
cared about me.”
“That wasn’t the point at all. I
didn’t ‘really care’ about you the way
you mean. I liked you very much.”
“I wish you wouldn’t use the past
tense. I’m still the same person I
was before. I’m a fairly uninterest
ing person but I’m kind to dumb ani
mals, help old ladies across the
street and watch my manners.”
“Is it strictly good manners to . . .”
Joan fumbled for the right w’ords to
express herself.
“Lead a young girl on?” Donald
supplied.
“Don’t be ridiculous. I wasn’t led
on and I didn’t even get a dent in
my vanity but I hardly think it was
the sporting thing to do to your
wife.”
“I didn’t really mean to mislead
you, Joan. 1 haven’t talked about
Linda in a long time and, besides, I
thought perhaps you knew I was
married.”
Joan didn’t remind him that he
hadn’t mentioned it when she had
commented on Linda’s picture at his
apartment the first time she had
gone there.
“I’m not going to be married much
longer.” He waited.
“No?” There was just the right
note of polite interest in her tone.
“No. You know Linda and I
haven’t hit it off very well for the
last two years.” (Joan refrained
from telling him that she wasn’t at
all interested.) “We’ve separated
several times, gone our own ways
and drifted. It was all right that
way with both of us.”
Joan didn’t help him go on with
his story.
"Lately. Joan, a couple of things
have happened. Linda wants to bo
free and so do I.”
Joan toyed with a matchstick. She
had a feeling that Donald was wait
ing to say something to her that she
didn’t want him to say. She was
afraid it might be important to her
and she wouldn’t believe him.
*T guess that’s best,” she said for
want of something else to say.
“It was a new idea to me. It sur-
CONVENTION SIDETRACKED FOR CARNIVAL PARADE
Philadelphia forgot the convention for one night while hundreds of thousands of citizens and
visitors lined Broad Street to view the Mardi Gras and Mummers’ parade. Then the Democra .

“You forgot to tell me you are married.”
prised me. I don’t suppose you could
guess why?”
"No.” Joan could guess.
“You,” he answered with no more
dramatics than were necessary, “are
the reason, Joan. I haven’t known
a girl like you since I was a young
ster at Harvard. I didn’t think they
came like you any more. I like
everything about you. I even like
your little prissy ideas. You’re the
kind of a girl who would wear wrell—
a whole lifetime. Will you marry
me?”
There was nothing odd about
Joan. A proposal was a proposal
under any circumstances and Joan
was too human not to be a trifle
shaken and flattered by it.
This was the sort of thing she
had thought might have happened
when she first knew Donald. Thi3
was the sort of thing she hoped
would happen. An attractive man
who could offer her companionship
and security wanted to make her his
wife. This was the kind of man she
had wanted to marry, believing she
could learn to love him, or marry
him without the kind of love that
she had felt for Win.
But now that it was here she
knew —surely—in her heart that she
couldn’t do it. However, woman-like
she wanted to hold on to the thing
as it was so she didn’t say “No”.
“Do you mean it?” she had to ask.
“More than I’ve ever meant any
thing. I’m not a bad sort, Joan, and
I’d do everything to make you
happy.”
“I’m not in love with you, Don
ald.”
“You will be. It’s not too Impor
tant anyway. Linda thought she
was in love with me when we were
first married but you see what hap
pened. llow many people do you
know who are married and still are,
as you say ‘in love’?”
“I suppose you’re right.”
“Joan, you haven’t answered me.”
Joan knew what her answer was
going to be but she said, “I can’t
answer an important question like
that as Impulsively as it was asked.
Also, Donald, you are not divorced.”
“I will be shortly. Linda is plan
ning to go out to Reno in May.
Don’t you think you can make up
your mind before that?”
Joan looked at her watch. “I’ve
got to rush. My boss will think
I’ve taken a vacation.”
“I wish you’d think of something
besides your job when you’re with
me. Will you dine with me to
night?"
“Not tonight, Donald. Call me.”
Joan literally ran away from him.
But she couldn’t run away from
the things he made her think of.
She had disposed of him once and
now here it was all over again.
Quite different from what she had
expected. It was one of those times
when she simply couldn’t relinquish
the possibilities. She thought she
would mull the situation over in her
mind for a few days and enjoy the
flattering implications that she was
a desirable girl, the kind of a girl a
man would want to make his wife.
She had had plenty of doubts
about the latter, Win’s behavior had
shaken her more deeply than she
knew. And she was onl}' 23—the age
when young women feel that they
are beginning to get old. Joan had
to go through that.
Fortunately Joan had little to do
at that time. Julian did not demand
all her time. In fact, she saw little
of him; he was at work, by himself,
on his play, "Mortal on Olympus”,
and not yet ready to begin putting
it on paper.
Joan dined with Julian only whe.i
he invited her to do so. When she
dined at home it was usually with
Mrs. Henderson in the latter’s sitting
room.
On one of the occasions when
Julian asked her to have dinner with
him, she told him that she thought
he looked tired and noted, with a
pang, that he seemed to have lost
weight.
“You’re not eating enough. I in
sist that you eat all of that baked
potato." She buttered it as she
would for a child.
“Joan,” Julian was pleased. “You’d
make a wonderful mother. You
ought to get married.”
Joan pushed her plate away and
ran her fingers through her hair.
"I ... I think, perhaps, I’m going
to.”
She realized suddenly that she was
planning to do just that. All the
time that she had been telling her
self it was impossible, she had been
getting ready to tell Donald New
berry that when he was divorced she
would marry him.
She was too interested in her owm
immediate reaction to observe the
effect her announcement had on
Julian.
“You can’t!” he said suddenly and
Joan felt that this moment was the
most important she had ever experi
enced. She waited with only her
faint breath stirring the stillness In
her.
“I can’t get along without you!
You . . . you’re the best secretary I
ever had!”
Secretary! Joan was furious. She
flung herself out of her chair
fled the room.
