ASSOCIATED PRESS AND CENTRAL PRESS High School Departments Put On Show Os Activity Elaborate Program Tuesday Night Draws Large Crowd; Part of School’s Observance of American Edu cation Week, Na tionwide Event All departments and activities of Henderson high school participated in the program on “School Demon stration Night” given Tuesday even ing in the auditorium of the school, and attended by an audience that fill ed most of the lower floor of the hall. Faculty members of the various de partments had arranged the numbers given by their students, giving an Idea of the work being done in each section. The audience more or less marvelled at the accuracy and faith fulness of the program by compari son with the actual work of the classes. After briei remarks by Prof. W. D. Payne, the principal, in introducing the program, a musical program was given by the glee club and several in dividual music pupils. Miss Dorothy .Jones directed the glee club, and Miss Bessie Mae Johnson accompanied the group in their number, i Work of the library consisted of a skit in which the facilities were pre sented in their inadequacyy before the new school was built and the Change made possible by provision of the added quarters. A demonstration by the English department had to do with pronounciation, spelling, reading of good literature and the like, with about a dozen boys and girls taking part. “History Family of the Henderson High School” was the theme of a number depicting social studies, and "Why Study Them Anyway?’ was the wiy the foreign language department * presented their part of the program. | Value of mathematics in practical everyday life was shown in a num • c-er by the “Math’’ department, and hicst of the audience gained a pretty g jod i lea of the value of science in practical living from the program of the science department. A demon tration by the new com mercial department of the high school included the giving of dictation, typ ing and then the reading of the typed manuscript. Coach L. L. Miller presented a group of students costumed as repre sentatives of many different kinds of sports at the high school, including physical education work. “A Sound Mind in a Sound Body” was the theme. ~ The home hygiene class, under di rection of Mrs. Leon Vick, gave a de monstration of caring for sick pa tients in the home that approval and applause of the audience Parents of school pupils and the general public were invited to the program, which drew perhaps the fhost representative audience of school patrons that has yet assem bled in the new high school.

FHiAPPLICAIis FOR SOIL PROGRAM Will Be Asked Shortly; About 75 Percent of Growers Share Records for the soil conservation program in Vance county have been perfected to the point where applica tions will shortly be called for from participants in the program in mak ing claims for payments, by the Fed eral government, it was- stated today at the office of County Agent J. W. Sanders, director of the work. It is estimated that approximately 75 percent of the farmers of the coun ty took worksheets and had them measured and examined for com pliance in the program, and that the total sum the aggregate number of growers in the county will probably receive will be around SIOO,OOO, or possibly more. It is not now anticipated that any checks will be received much before the first of the year. There may be a variation in payments of ten per cent. either up or down. The office organization is putting the finishing touches on contracts or agreements, after township and coun ty committees have checked them for the degree of compliance. Payments under the soil conserva tion program will not be as heavy as those under the AAA, but growers will receive compensation for acreage taken out of cultivation in money crops and put to soil building crops and prevention of erosion.

A number of workers are active in the task, which may require several weeks. What is being done is to take a certain lot or tract of land, and then ascertain the valuation of all land that bounds it on all sides, so as to obtain the relative and proportionate valuation. Those engaged in the present task are having nothing to do with the actual revaluation of property. They are merely assembling data for the use of committees who will be named by the commissioners early in the new year to have in hand the actual responsibility of placing values on real estate. County commissioners are not hap py over the huge loss of taxables that will result from the adoption of the constitutional amendment in last week’s election which exempts the first SI,OOO of valuation on all pro perty where it is owned by the oc cupant. They are worrying over the prospect of an increased tax rate as the result of this radical departure from custom and sec only one prob able alternative and that is to get the revenue, by raising tax rates, un less some new source of income should be discovered.
