Over 300 Attend Meeting
Os District Rural Clubs
Officers Elected for Year and Meeting Next Spring
Will Be In Granville County; Frank Jeter Speaks;
4-H Club Girls Assist In Serving Dinner
More than 325 persons, a larger
group even than had been anticipated,
attended the annual meeting of the
fourteenth district Federation of
Home Demonstration dubs for five
counties, hold all day Wednesday at
the Community House at Middleburg.
Frank H. Jeter, agriculture editor of
the N. C. State College Extension Ser
vice. was the chief speaker, his sub
ject “Rebuilding a Fair Land.”
Mr. Jeter told of the beauties of
America when the white man came to
it, and then recounted how the na
tion’s natural resources had been ex
ploited without regard to conservation
and said that the people were at last
awaking to the ravages of commer
cialism, and that the time was fast
approaching when it would again be
a “fair land.”
The address had to do with conser
vation and methods to resist erosion,
and of how diversification of crops
and the proper planting would bring
about a transformation.
In the absence of the president,
Mrs. Brown, of Northampton county,
and Mrs. C. M. Watkins, of Middle
burg, the meeting was presided over
by Mrs. J. K. Plummer, home demon
stration agent of Vance county.
After the morning session had been
concluded, lunch was served outdoors
in the grove that surrounds the com
munity house. There were many com
ments on the efficiency of the serving
of the meal, which was done by a
group of 4-H club girls, consisting of
Misses Zera Poythress, Doris Jackson,
Ruth Hoyle, Marjorie Blbm, Rosa
Lee Floyd. At the door of the assem
bly hall was Miss Doris Satterwhite,
who distributed programs. All were
dressed in 4-H club uniforms.
In the election of officers, Mrs. C.
M. Watkins, of Vance county, was
named as chairman for next year,
with Mrs. W. S. Person, of Franklin
county, first vice-president; Mrs. Roy
Crews, of Granville, second vice-pre
sident. It was decided to hold the 1938
convention in June in Granville
county.
The morning session began with
the singing of “America, the Beauti
ful” by the audience, followed with
the Collect of the Club Women of
America, and the invocation by Rev.
D. A. Petty, Methodist minister of
Middleburg. Mrs. E. O. Young, Sr.,
spoke a welcome, and Mrs. W. S. Per
son, of Franklin county, read the min
utes of the last previous meeting.
Committees were then appointed.
Mrs. Lewis Taylor, of the Towns
ville Garden Club, gave a vocal solo,
accompanied by Mrs. W. B. Tarry.
Miss Anamerle Arant, agent for a new
district, presented Miss Virginia Wil
son, who has lately taken over home
demonstration work in Granville
county, and then introduced Mr. Jeter
as the chief speaker. Mrs. Sturges
Collins, of Middleburg, sang, “Ole
Carolina,” accompanied by Miss Luna
Jackson.
Mrs. Person reported on the Jane
S. McKimmon loan fund, which is a

WANT VALLIAM ST.
OPEN FOR TRAFFIC
A resident of William street sug
gested today that those in authority
with reference to the Church-Charles
street underpass project arrange to
open William street to traffic. It was
pointed out that the north-south
street could be opened and the pas
sageway under the railroad could be
left closed until remaining work is
completed. It was also pointed out
that residents, along the street would
be greatly concenienced if this were
do«e, and that it would greatly sim
plify the problem of traffic during the
remaining two night events of -the
Henderson high school commenment.

Prison Work Will
Remain As Separate
(Continued from F&ge One.)
were reports going the rounds that
some of the members wanted the ad
ministration of the prison system, as
well as of the highway system, broken
down into the ten divisions, with each
highway commissioner the head of
both the highways and the prisons in
his district. But Governor Clyde R.
Hoey nipped this movement in the
bud when he appeared before the
commission Tuesday and informed it
that it was a State commission, that
he was not going to permit it to be
broken up into ten district commis
sions, aiid that the administration of
both the highway and prison systems
use going to continue to be centraliz
ed here in Raleigh. It is now eveident
that this was good news in the ears
of most of the members of the com
mission and that it nipped in the bud
a movement which had the sympathy
of only a few members. It also clear
ed the atmosphere of considerable Un
certainty and fog and made it pos
sible for the commission to get down
to get down to business in short order.
As a result, two things have now
become very clear, as follows:
1. Chairma > Frank L. Dunlap of
the highway commission is going to
be chief executive officer of the com
mission, with full authority to act for
the commission when it is not in ses
sion, also with full authority over
highway and prison personnel in the
offices of the commission here, with
the individual division commission
ers having recommendatory power on
ly over general highway and prison
personnel.
2. The administration of the prison
system will remain centralized under
the authority of the director of the
prison division, who will be answer
able only to the chairman and the
commission, with all other prison per
sonnel directly under his supervision,
but with ten instead of five division
prison supervisors and with the di
visions to correspond to the highway
divisions. The ten division supervisors
will be answerable only to the prison
director and chairman of the com
mission, however, rather than to the
division commissioners.
This means that the administraion
of both the highway department and
the prison division remains virtually
unchanged from the plans evolved by

former Chairmen E. B. Jeffress and
Capus M. Waynick. It also means that
while suggestions can be made by in
dividual commissioners as reflecting
sentiment in their districts, that final
decisions can be made only by a ma
jority vote of the entire commission
and the chairman, or fcy the chairman
when the commission is not in ses
sibn. Thus while the ten division com
missioners will act as eyes and ears- -
and buffers —for the chairman in
their respective divisions irt the hear
ing of requests for new roads or com
plaints about maintenance, thus mak
ing it unnecessary for delegations to
come to Raleigh before the entire
commission except in extremely im
portant cases, the commissioner in
any division cannot act on any mat
ter without the approval of a ma
jority of the other members of the
commission, including the chairman.
While the commission and Chair
man Dunlap have not yet taken any
action with regard to selecting a di
rector of the prison division, indica
tions point strongly to the selection
of Oscar Pitts, for the past two years
acting director of the division, for this
post.
