"Youth In The Home"
Is Study Class Topic
Conquers Polio
Ill his discussion of "Children in
the Home", the Rev. E. Norfleet
Gardner told the Parent-Teacher
;tudy class, at their meeting last
light in the Henderson high school
library, of answers made both by
xirents and children in inquiries con
cerning tiie subject, and of the con
clusions he had drawn in reference to
their views.
This was the third of a series of
live meetings of the class, of which
Mr. Gardner is the leader, in its
study of youth. A very large attend
ance was had at last night's session,
ivith tiK.ay county and city schools
represented by parents and faculty
members.
To the question, "What are some
)t '.'.ic chief difficulties you consider
the ti, :1 faces with reference to the)
bringing up of children? put by Mr.
G: runer to a number of parents, he
received a variety of answers. He
divided the complaints into three
groups: those dealing with outside
interests, which separate members ot'
a family from one another; home
standards; c.r.d need of closer coop
oration between schools and churches
and hom^s. In the answers concern
ing home standards, criticism was
found v.ith the laxness of the home,
lifi'iculty of parents' adjusting tliem
ives to modern ways, and poor
discipline.
A varied list of replies was re
ceived from a group of young peo
ple who were asked the following
juestions: What is most pleasing

Your plots and snatch
Whate'er you lack.

But never yours. What fun!

And greedy smack!

Hoey Calls Meet
To Plan Part In
South's Program j
Raleigh, Feb. 6.—(AP)—Governor
Hoey has asked a group of represen
tative North Carolinians to meet
with him here Saturday to form a
State committee to "line things up"
Tor the State's part in a south wide
program to make this "a decade of
progress".
"I am asking representatives of
public agencies, the vocations, agri
cultural agencies, the different
races, and others to meet with me
to consider what we should do in
North Carolina," Ilocy ^aid.
about your home? and What would
/ou like different about your home?
They were pleased with the protec
tion and comfort oi the home, love
and companionship found there, co
aperation, freedom to express their
own view-point, treatment of their
friends. They indicated, however,
that they would like for the family
to be together as a group more often,
better relations among members of
the family, more cordial welcome of
friends, home run on a budget, more
freedom in staying out at night.
The speaker emphasized that the
first place in character training must
continue to be in the home, not only
in early training, but also that it
must be first in importance among
institutions that touch the life of the
child.
He stressed the fact that both par
ents and children are seeking an
honest adjustment co their modern
life, with the desire to develop those
traits of Christian character that will
produce the finest personality.
The ultimate value of the home,
.Mr. Gardner said, must depend up
>n how much those who arc parents
ind children are willing to put into
he making of a real home.
'"Youth in the School" will bo the
•iubject for next Monday's discus
sion, the fourth of the series of five
neetings. It is hoped by those in
charge that even more parents and
icachers will display their interest
)y attending the remaining two ses
sions.
Capital Gossip
By HLNRY AVERILL
Raleigh. Feb. 6.—Joe Blythe, North
Carolina campaign manager for Pain
V. McNutt, isn't going to let his
advocacy of the Indiana man for
President interfere with his own cam
paign for re-election to the State
Senate.
Rumors are plentiful that in Guil
ford county there is an important
faction with its knife open and dire
designs on the political throat of
Joe Carruthers, who is among the
Announced candidates for Speaker of
the 1941 House.
One report says that Joe recently
visited an important leader with a
view to enlisting his support for the
speakership, only to be met by the
disconcerning statement:
''I can't support you for Speaker.
Joe, because I'm going to do my darn
edest to keep you from going to the
legislature at all."
At the meeting of the Democratic
state committee here Friday, Greens
boro's John W. Cal'fey was seen
much in the company of Wade Ren
frow, head man of the High Point
political machine—and they looked
as friendly as a pair of turtle doves.
If they are as close together as
they seemed to be. it's going to
make the Congressional going much
easier for Cal'fey.
Tom Cooper has got far enough
along with his sound truck idea to
be figuring on the slogans to paint
on its sides.
The Wilmington mayor says that
lack of funds is likely to make him
confine all his music to the record
ed or transcribed type. He had want
ed a male quartet to tour the state
with him. but four folks eat a lot,
besides wanting salaries.
A cheerful, heavyset man bustled
up to the booth in the Capitol ro
tunda where sat Miss Mary Graham
Croom.
"Is. this the information desk?", he
asked breezily.
"Yes, sir, that's irght", smiled Miss
Croom.
"Well, will you please tell me who
is going to be the next governor of
North Carolina?", continued the
cheery visitor.
"I'm sorry I haven't that informa
tion yet", replied the information
lady.
"Well. I can tell you", said the
caller, "It's going to be Tom Cooper."
For the first time Miss Croom real
ly looked up from some work she
was doing.
"Why, Mr. Cooper!", she exclaim
ed.'Tm glad to see you—I really
didn't recognize you at first."
Judging from the statement he
made for Monday morning publica
tion. J. M. Broughton's attitude to
ward Ralph W. McDonald's support,
about like this:
"I want votes. I will be glad to
get them from McDonald or anybody
else—but I do wish folks would quit
hollerine loud that Mac is goinrr
to support me."
Appointment of -Hathaway Cross
as secretary to Governor Clyde R.
Hoey confirmed the prediction made

Raleigh reporter.
Some are scared—the others just
"dassent" declare themselves for
anybody.
That's truly descriptive of the so
called "leaders" with reference to
the current gubernatorial race. To
prove the point your Raleigh report
jer gives you a true story—but a
story which will have to be without
! names. Names, of course, would add
much, but the whole thing was told
"off the record" by one who was
present and it came to your corres
pondent under promise of complete

political decisions are made than in
all the rest of North Carolina put to

There were: a standout politician
from the far east and whose name
is known from M. to M: the ace lob
byist of one of the State's most pow
erful power companies; an indus
trialist high in the inner Winston
Salem circles: a lawyer lobbyist and
political boss (just one person de

I the home county of one of the gub
ernatorial candidates; an cducator
[of wide renown; the head of one of
the state's largest non-political (so
it says) organizations.
They had. in the slanguage of to
day. "let down their hair". They
were just bulling after having im
bibed (not too freely, of course, but
still they had imbibed). It was a
moment when engaging frankness
might have been expected. They be
gan talking about the governor'.- race.

so to speak, swore they haven't yet
picked a candidate. A!! but the afore

doesn't pretend to know, but it's
