If trained, the person becomes a righthearted, rather blunt character, very free with both ener gies and possessions, if untrained, there is a rich nature beneath a some what rough exterior and a slight ten dency to sensuousness. /voting IfK’T (T rue 6BiHep i c p 0 6^os - t— yfp, Today is the Day * By CLARK KINN AIRD Copyright, 1937, for this Newspaper by Central Press Association Annunciation or Laid Day: Holy or Maundy Thursday, March 25, a nation al holiday in 26 counties.

TODAY’S YESTERDAYS Lady-Day commemorates, of course, the tidings brought to Mary (Luke 1:26): "And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth. “To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. “And the angel came unto her, and said, Hail thou that art highly favor ed, the Lord is with thee: blessed thou art among women. “And when she saw him she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. “And the angel said unto her, fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. “And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call him JESUS.” THE WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY 20 Years Ago Today—The first step toward putting the country on a war basis was taken by a State govern ment. Gov. Samuel McCall mobilized two regiments of Massachusetts Na tional Guard “to protect defense points.” Secretary of War Newton D. Baker had been instructed the day before to prepare the mobilization of National Guardsmen in all States, and the secretary of the navy given carte blanc to get active and reserve fleets ready. One step was to assign a pa trol of the Atlantic coastline against submarines. U. S. Minister Brand Whitlock, his staff and all American relief work ers were ordered to leave Belgium. The State Department tartly announc ed: “Although a promise has been made that the members of the commis sion would be permitted to leave if they desired, the German govern ment's observance of its other under takings has not been such that the Do partment would feel warranted in ...

What famous congressional race took place in 1896? 6. What kind of picture was print ed of North Carolina by early adver tisers? ANSWERS 1. “Whereas, in all well regulated governmens it is the indispensable of every legislature to consult the hap piness of a rising generation, and en deavor to fit them for an honorable discharge of the social duties of life, -y Paying the strictest attention to their education: And whereas, a Uni versity supported by permanent funds and well endowed would have the most direct tendency to answer the above purpose.” 2. The penalty for the willful burn ing of a church, meeting house or chapel in North Carolina is imprison ment for from two to forty years. 3. The special store tax of that year I was limited to those “who shall sell I goods, wares and merchandise, not i the growth and manufacture of this utate. “A similar tax applied to ped dlers. These distinctions probably were in violation of the Federal Con stitution, however, they remained in our revenue system until 1860. 4. Ten regiments, however their ranks were not complete. In May 1778, following that terrible winter, the rank and file of North Carolina troops numbered 1450. 5. The fight between W. W.

The first being that of Vance against Thomas Settle, Sr., in 1875 for the governor ship. Kitchen beat Settle and was the only democrat elected to congress from North Carolina that term. 6. The following is from a letter written in 1734 by some prospective settlers: “We have been informed by a little book printed in Bern that the King of England wants men that are brought up to country Tjusiness, and know how to improve land and make butter and cheese, in the Royal Pro vince of Carolina which as we heard is a. land flowing with milk and honey."

OTHERSVIEWS FEDERAL AID TO SCHOOLS To the Editor: The Committee on Education and Labor in the United States Senate has reported favorably on the Harrison- Black-Fletcher bill for Federal aid to Public Schools. The House Commit tee on Education will hold hearings on this bill March 30th to April 3rd. The National Education Association is in favor of this bill. The North Carolina Educational Association has endorsed it, and so have many Parent Teachers Associations and other civic bodies in the State. This bill provides for. a Federal Appropriation of $lO,- 000,000 the first year increasing $50,- 000,000 a year until a maxim annual appropriation of $300,000,000 has been reached to be divided among the States and Territories for the sup port of their Public Schools. The Di vision is on the basis of $2.54 a year fpr each person (5-20 years of age) in creasing to $7.63 for each person the fifth year, and thereafter. North Carolina would receive the first year $3,154,615. The fifth year this would increase to $9,463,845. Any State’s part would be based always upon the number of persons 5-20. North Caro lina, ranking high in number of per sons 5-20 according to total popula tion, benefits much more than any of the wealthier* and more populous States. And recent statistics indicate that after the 1940 censes the State will rank even higher in this respect The bill provides that no Bureau or Agency of the Federal Government can interfere with or dictate in any way the school poliev or program of any of the States. The only require ments are that each State must con tinue as much financial support of its own. either from State or Local funds as it provided in 1936, and have a term of at least 160 days. If the bill becomes law North Carolina wi 1 get a check with absolutely no govern mental strings tied to it —for its part of the available funds. The funds will be administered by the same agency that controls the State school fund. I hope you may see your way clear to support this bill and that you will urge the friends of schools among -. • t~ ays STEVENSON “PERFECT SOUND” THEATRE TODAY TOMORROW ■ Anothe^ortraj^^ HOLIDAY’ KiUiTfuincii IAN HUNTER Lgr-% \ CLAUDE RAINS jjM'M.
