Moves To New Building Raleigh, Feb. 6.—The North Car olina Unemployment Compensation Commission's two divisions last week moved into their new five-story and basement building on Casw«J* Square at Jones and McDowell streets. Several delays held up moving, but finally, in the worst snow and cold of the year, the Unemployment Com pensation Division moved from the building in which there were sev eral heat prostrations last summer. The Commission officials and exe cutives, the directors of both divisions and the Employment Service Di vision are located on the first floor. Various other operations are on the second and. third floors and in the basement. The WPA moved last week into the top floor and a part of the floor below. The building was erected at a cost of about $235,000 exceeding the ori ginal estimate of S200.000 because of additions and changes. Under the original plan the PWA supplied 45 per cent of the money and the State 55 per cent. The State's cost is to be repaid by the Social Security Board in rentals at the rate of a little more than $10,000 a year for 10 years. Then the building will be com pletely paid for, the State having 1he building permanently, and the U. C. C. a home as long as it lasts. Rent for the two divisions was more than twice the amount that the Social Se curity Board will pay the State for the next 10 years, or until the State cost has been liquidated.

During the past calendar year, the active file was reduced by 66,196, a drop of 43 per cent, which is exactly equivalent to the ratio decline in re gistrations. These figures indicate the improvement in industry and work conditions in North Carolina over the preceding year of 1938. .

Siuux-Sc^rb^rqy t/RlTTEN FOR AND RF.1.F.ASKP BY CENTRAL PRESS ASSOCIATION'" SYNOPSIS THE CHARACTERS: ROMANY HAILE. who wants to be a radio star. CHOLLY O'NEIL, her pal. who plays in a music store. BRENT NELSON, successful young announcer, in love with Romany. DOVER HAYWORTH, wealthy scion, in love with Cholly. AIYRA NOYES, famous radio star and ex-fiancee of Brent. TERRY O'ROURKE. a singer who had been engaged to Cholly. BAXTER TREE, a continuity writer without a job. YKSTRRDAY: Romany finds that Bax ter Tree is a staunch friend, helping her frequently with her radio scripts. CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO CHOLLY HELD the radio page of the Sunday Globe out to Rom any as she awakened. Romany asked sleepily: "What next?" "There's hardly room left for the programs. Look at your picture! It takes up half the page." Rom any sat up in bed. "Gimme, quick!" She read: "Farm Implement Heiress Makes Radio Bow Tomorrow. As Celeste, the new menace in Myra Noyes' hit 'Twilight of Love,' this new beauty, Romany Haile, comes to the air waves. Miss Haile also is in the raco for the title of Miss Television. The contest takes place during the holidays by fan voting." The picture showed Romany in Aunt Cissie's most seductive gown, her lovely back bared and her head turned so that her clear-cut, sun tanned profile stood out beautifully. It was framed by her jet black hair, sleeked over her ears, with a soft roll low on the neck. "You look like royalty ought to look," Cholly sighed enviously. "I don't blame 'em for laying that heiress business on thick. Oh, Romey," aren't you lucky?" "So will you be some oJ these days," Romany predicted biightly, \v!.".:ing again there were some thing she could do to help Cholly in radio. "If I could help you get a starv.!:s "As :ii; living hero cri&peromug you isn't saving my life," Cholly tried f.o stiuiiu cheerful. "You .stop wmrying about n.t; and enjoy ,> our Huc«:^srt: i ii' juai, »».; n ippy iij yuu about 'tii'.' break;; you're getting." "I know you are, dariiu'." Rom any diippfcd into her hou&e coat. "Bui; I'd bti terribly jealoius if you were in my shoes and 1 in yours." "Yes, you would," scoffed Cholly. "You're just the type!" Brent and Romany were on the beach that afternoon when Dover arrived for the promised Sunday dinner. Cholly met him at the door in a big white apron she'd found hanging ir the kitchen. It was twice her size. Her face was flushed and there was a smudge of flour on her cheek. Dover kissed the smudge away. "Woman!" He stood back hold ing her at arms' length. "If you weren't you, I'd almost say you'd spent hours picking «•• • r. a costume to dazzle me with," "Just for Lhreatc'^d Cholly, "I'll p .!. : ,,-iiic in yOur fried chicken. 1 w as going o change before y«.u got here. But you're fifteen minutes early." "I couldn't wait," grimed Dover. "You look like an angel costumed by Omar the Tentmaker. Cholly started for the kitchen. "Do you want to come out here? I'm right in the middle of things." Dove sniffed at pots and pans. "Fried chicken, mashed pota toes, green beans, celery! Home made apple pie! I came early just to make sure you really were going to cook." The door bell rang. Cholly was rolling chicken in flour. "I'll get it," said Dover. He came back loaded down with packages. "These seem to be for you." Cholly looked perplexed. She wiped her hands on her apron. "I—didn't order anything sent. Maybe Romany did." "No, they're for you." Dover could hardly see over the load in his arms. "Take them into the living room." Cholly followed him out of the kitchen. "There must be some mistake." Dover put the packages down Cholly threw her arms around his neck happily. /. on the table unsmmngiy. cnony opened the long box first. Two doz en American beauty roses! In an other box were two bottles of champagne. Five pounds of candy. Several magazines. She looked at Dove severely. Then she threw her arms around his neck happily. "Thanks, Santa Claus! But don't lev. it happen again, or J.'ll never invite you to dinner." Dover lied blandly: didn't do it. They're probably .rom some old guy with whiskers •••'ho likes red hair and freckles. I go for blondes myself." Dover was scrubbing vegetables for the salad when Erent and Rom any arrived from the Beach. "Well," Brent grinned," if this isn't as touching a little domestic scene as these old eyes ever lit upon. Blow me down, if I don't smell orange blossoms around here!" "We calls it home," grinned Cholly. "And shut up before I put you to work. "Come to think of it, I guess you and Romany had bet ter set the table." "I was afraid of that," sighed Romany. "But wait'll I take a shower. The guest shower is down the hall. Brent. I'll meet you at the silver cabinet in five minutes." It was a gay dinner, and a deli cious one. Dover ate as though it were his last meal. "Charlotte!" He got up finally and dropped to one knee in front of her. "Will you marry me?'' Cholly studied prettily. "Well!" Her eyes danced. "I'm afraid not. I don't think we could ever live on your meftsly incomc." Brent broke in. lean; - ne nuuueu aauiy. too bad, too. And both of you go young and in love and fond of fried chicken." "Maybe," sighed Romany, "if you spoke to your father, Dover, he'd increase your allowance a lit tle." "He won't." Dove shook his head forlornly. "He says I'll not get one cent over twenty-five thousand a year." "The old skin flinti" Cholly sobbed. "It would serve him right if we got married and went on re lief." Later, the boys walked down to the beach while Romany and Cholly dressed to go out. "Dove is mad about you," Rom any told Cholly from the bath room. "I'll bet a million dollars he really will ask you to marry him." "You're crazy!" Cholly yelled. "Okay! I'm f:razy! But I know love when I see i£. He's adorable, jnoiiy. uont you win* yuu couiu love him?" "And what," Cholly said impa tiently, "if I did fall in love with Dover Hayworth? Don't you think t'd have too much sense to ever let him know it? I tell you no one has jver found happineses marrying out 3f '.lis own class." Romany sighed: "Have you been reading dime novels again? Well, go ahead and spoil your life if you want to. But if you ask me, Dove Hayworth is one of the nicest men I've ever met in my life. I approve of him in every way. "Thanks!" Cholly smiled uncer tainly. "You don't always approve of my boy friends." "You could mean Terry," Rom any studied her face. "Tell me, Cholly, you'.ve gotten over all your foolishness about him, haven't you? You—don't love him any more?" Cholly turned away. "That," she said very low, "is a closed chapter in my life. I—let's not talk about it. I've never heard from him since the afternoon he came into the store. I—guess he's through, too." Dover seemed to bow to almost everyone in Landau's where the foursome danced later. Cholly felt uncomfortable because they seemed to be the center of attention. Brent and Romany were partly responsi ble for the interest, of course. But Cholly knew Dover's friends who hadn't met her on the boat were wondering who she might be. He was so obviously attentive,- so de termined that they should know where he stood in case they did know she was the girl from the music store, that Cholly felt doubly conspicuous. Fortunately, Pee Wee Tyler did not put in an appearance. At least that was a great consolation to Cholly. Eut they were leaving Landau's at one o'clock, walking through the foyer, when Cholly looked up and straight into the eyes of Terry O'Rourke. At his side, sophisticat ed and dazzling in black tulle, was Myra Noyes. Romany glanced side wise at Cholly quickly and saw her face whiten. Cholly could never quite know how her weak knees carried her out the door of Landau's and to Dover's waiting car. It was the first time she had ever seen Terr; with an other woman. And he didn't look a* all down and out or heart broken. He looked gay—and indifferent. Her Terry!
