Open Negro
Law School
In Durham
Durham, Sept. 9. —Plans for the
opening of a Department of Law at
the North Carolina College for
Negroes in Durham September 25
were announced today by President
James E. Shepard, who said Dean
M. T. Van Hecke of the University
of North Carolina Law School had
agreed to act as Dean of the new de
partment for one year and that in
struction would be given for the
same period by faculty members
from Duke and Carolina.
“One of the most fortunate things
which could occur was the accep
tance of the post by Dean Van Hecke
and other instructors who have
agreed to serve for the year. He said
the acceptances mean much for the
cooperation of the races in the state
and in the south along all helpful
lines,” President Shepard said.
Proessors John F. Dazell, Donald
W. Markham and Fred B. McCall of
the University of North Carolina and
Professor Douglas Maggs of Duke
University will teach during the first
semester, while in the second semes
ter, Professors Millard S. Brecken
ridge of the University of North Car
olina and Douglas Poteat of Duke
University Law School will serve as
instructors.
In part, toleration consists in not
asking too much of humanity.
There are more than 70,000 den
tists in the United States, says a
statistical item. A painful fact
painstakingly obtained, no doubt.

APPLE EXHIBITS
TO BE FEATURES
Raleigh, Sept. 9. —Visitors to the
North Carolina State Fair are al
ways surprised to learn that “such
beautiful apples could be grown in
North Carolina”, H. R. Niswonger,
in charge of the apple exhibits for
this year’s fair, to be held in Ra
leigh October 10-14, said today.
Even veteran fairgoers are in for
another surprise this year, for Nis
wonger feels that the apple exhibits
will be larger and more attractive
than ever.
Race hatred, such as the anti
semitic, turns even the virtues of the
race malignated into selfish vices.

Stop And Go
Driving Uses
Lots Os Gas
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, Sept. 9.— Cumulative sta
tistical report of the WPA Safe Driv
ing Schools indicate that there is ab
solute truth in the publicity-held be
lief that “Stop-Go” driving uses up
lots of gasoline.
The figures show, for instance,
that for the 38.932 miles driven by
pupils of the 92 schools for white
persons so far completed by the pro
ject it required 4,050 gallons of gas
oline.
Worked out, this gives only an av
erage of 9.5 miles per gallon, a fig
ure far below the average attained
by the ordinary motorist in the av
erage car under usual circumstances.
Os course, in the case of the school
driving, the motorists are not or
dinary, being for the most part com
plete novices just learning the first
fundamentals; the cars are average,
being for the most part aged and
often decrepit jobs which have long
since seen their better days: and the
circumstances are not usual in that
the driving is strictly instructional
and consists for the most part in
starting, shifting gears, running a
very short distance, then stopping.
Which doesn’t make the 9.5 miles
per gallon as bad as it would appear
at first blush.
There is nothing bad about the rest
of the school figures, either. They
show, for instance that the 92 white
units have graduated a total of 2,-
921 qualified drivers, whose average
age is 23 and who made an average
grade on their written examinations
of 89 out of a possible 100. Two
thirds of them were women.
They also show that 17 units for
Negroes have graduated 679 drivers
with an average age of 24, who made
an average of 85 on the exams.
Eight units for whites are now be
ing conducted, with a total enroll
ment of 226; one Negro unit is still
active and has a current enrollment
of 42.
