THIS IS REAL EVOLUTION
While theologians atul scientists
are discussing the question of man's
evolution from a lower form of life
to the perfectly symmetrical and high
ly intelligent man of today, the pa
rents and social workers of Monroe
are giving heed to the matter of de
veloping the physical as well as the
intellectual and moral natures of
their children into well-rounded,
strong and useful men and women.
In order to successfully accomplish
this the movement for a play-ground
has been started and will doubtless be
pushed to successful consummation.
The natural instinct in the young
of every kind of animal to romp and
play is only Nature's way of evolving
weak and helpless creatures into
(Strong and useful ones.
It goes without saying that a mind
Cannot attain its greatest possibili
ties in a weak, undeveloped body. In
a town the size of Monroe the resi
dential sections are so congested
that children do not have the neces
sary playgrounds. Neither do they
have the needed equipment for de
veloping the various muscles of the i
body. Hence the necessity for a play-1
ground and equipment where they
way meet under the supervi3on and !
direction of a competent person who
hall instruct them in athletic games
that will give exercise to all parts of
the body, and where they may be
kept out of the streets away from
the danger of being run over by au
tomobiles. The civic organizations and
individuals that are behind this move
ment should have the hearty co-operation
of the entire citizenship of the
city, and doubtless they will have it.

Some Reasons Why I Have Vith
Drawn a a Candidate on the
County Hoard of Education
j Anyone who knows anything about
the matter at all, will remember that
it was several months after I was
endorsed by three organizations be
fore I announced myself as a can
didate for a place on the county
(board of education.
; This delay was for three reasons.
First I did not feel that 1 could take
ion any more responsibilities. Second,
a I stated before one organization,
,1 did not want the job if it was a
i political one, for I am in politics only
! to the extent of selecting honest ef
jficient, law-abiding citizens to office.
Third, I had studied school law and
was under the impression that there
was a law which would debar me
from serving on the board, as I am an
active teacher. I did not fail to en
quire into the matter. Many were
questioned, among the number three
lawyers. No one seemed to know any
reason why I should not announce
myself. Right here I would like to
enquire: "Does anyone know any way
in which the county board of educa
tion has to do with city teachers?"
They certainly do not employ or pay
them.
The women especially urged me to
announce myself because they wanted
a woman on the board and the espe
cial reasons why I was their choice.
were they knew that I was intensely
interested in education and I was a
"practical teacher."
borne person for reasons of his own.
hunted up a law which would debar
me. As I am a law-abuhntr citizen
I have withdrawn from the race.
Now comes the part which is dis
gusting to square dealing people. The
right thing for the politicians to have
done would have been to let the
women know the situation and give
them a chance to put out another
candidate. "No," they said, "we will
on the quiet get a man to file ap
plication then when it is too late the
women will realize that thev havo
lost their chance of representation in
educational matters." It was a prov
idential accident that I found out that
the women were being double-crossed.
Unfortunately it was too late to get
another woman to undertake this ser
vice. Men, this is the kind of politics
we women will fight. We women are
on the square and we are tired of the
kind of politics which say "You do
this for me and I will take care of
you." Speaking of laws, isn't there
a town law which says a man shall
not hold two offices at the same
time? Yet such things have happen
ed in rather modern times. We women
would like for the various candidates
to let us know whether they think
women have any part in politics or
not for we would not for the world
embarrass a man by voting for him
if he thinks we are incapable of in
telligence in civic matters.

MAKING ASSETS OUT OF
FORMER LIABILITIES
Some Are Furnished Artificial Limbs
While Others Are Heing Taught
Profitable Trades
By T. E. Brown, Director
The activities of the division of
vocational education of the state de
partment of public instruction in "res
! cuing broken humanity from the junk
heap and developing productive units
of society from individuals who have
been, or are liable to become charges
upon their communities" han attraced
a great deal of favorable comment
throughout North Carolina and are
proving helpful to a class of people
heretofore entirely dependent upon
society or friends for assistance.
As an illustration of how this de
partment is serving, a young ladv
of Richmond county with a stiff hip,
which practically incapacitated her
for earning a livelihood, was trained
as a dressmaker and today is earning
a good living in her own community.
' A young man twenty-six years of
age, in Yadkin county, seriously de
formed from hips down, unable to do
any productive farm work, through
the activities of the department of
industrial rehabilitation and the coun
ty welfare officer, was trained as a
; linotype operator and today is earn
ing a good living as a linotype opera
tor in one of the largest commercial
printing houses in Winston-Salem.
A boy in Fayettcville who lost his
right foot when quite small was be
I ing supported by charitable organiza
tions when the department learned
of the case. Today he i making
good wages as a shoe repairman as
the result of training secured for him
by this department.
This work has been made possible
by an appropriation of federal funds
matched by an appropriation by the
State of North Carolina. The depart
ment of Industrial Rehabilitation be
gan its activities last July and dur
ing the Bhort period of its existence
has gotten into touch with over 200
persons who are in need of help, in

Every since my appointment as
Solicitor last fall, I have had three
candidates against me, who have been
busy canvassing in the district. On
account of the duties of the office
it has been impossible for me to per
sonally visit the voters. It seems
to be the custom that when a man is
in office, it is the proner thin? to
slander and misrepresent him, and in
my case, the custom has been fully
carried out. In one part of the dis
trict, where there is an agitation
aooui taxes, they tell that when a
member of the State Senate, in 1921,
that I was a high tax man: They do
not go further and tell that I advo
cated and helped pass the bill to take
state taxes oft of the land, and that
I advocated and helped Pass the bill
giving J.'iOO personal property exemp
tion, to all tax payers. These did
more to reduce the taxes of the poor
er class than anything else that has
been done in any legislature in the
history of the State.
In another section I was criticized
by one of the candidates for settling
a case, which saved the county sev
eral hundred dollars, in cost. It was
stated that I had sold out in order
to get the support of some lawyers
appearing in the case on the other
side. They were not fair enough to
state that the same party making the
charges appeared with the State for
the private prosecution and that when
the matter of settlement was being
considered, this same candidate wrot
to me and recommended the settle
ment and stated that the same should
be made.
Another candidate charges that

that 1 was at home living easy ana
making money, when, as a matter of
fact, lor nearly two years, I closed
my office and gave my time to the
service of the government, assisting
, in every way i coum to carry on the
J war work, which, at that time, was
, conRiuerea necessary,
i These are only a few of the many
.charges which have been made against
! me, and which, are of course, only
jused for campaign purposes. They
are all unfair and made with the in
tent to deceive the public, and to
hurt me in my campaign for re-nomi-1
nation.
; Since my appointment of Solicitor
! I have prosecuted all classes to the
best of my ability, and with such suc
!css that my opponents do not charge
that 1 am not capable of filling the
office as it should be. Every class
of cases which have come before me
j has been prosecuted, but there is one
class which is taking more time, and
which is larger in number than any
other class and that is the prosecu
tion of the violation of the liquor
laws.
For the twenty-two, years, which I
have been practicing law, I have nev
er appeared in a case for the defend
ant who was charged with the vio
lation of the liquor laws, having al
ways given my services freely to the
prosecution of such cases, but always
declining to accept a fee from a de
fendant in any such case.
I, therefore, confidently ask the
voters of the district to pay no at
tention to the false, slanderous and
misleading reports which have been
circulated about me, as they are ab
solutely untrue and that by giving
tne their vote that I may be re
nominated for a full term, and assure
them that the office of solicitor will
be conducted fairly and impartially,
and as it should be.

number, and has rendered service to
65, several of whom have been re
turned to society as earning, inde
pendent citizens.
The department has been material
ly aided through the hearty co-operation
of numerous organizations
throughout the state, and nt present
its service is being greatly enlarged
and made more ttFective by the or
ganization in the various counties of
advisory committees made up of lend
ing public spirited citizens. Ihe pur
pose of these committees is to get in
touch with deserving cases in the ,
counties, to determine their needs
and to advise the state department.
The state supervisor of industrial
rehabilitation then gets into commu
nication with the committee and
makes final disposition of the case.
Through the activities of these ad
visory committees, it is possible for
the department to reach a much larg
er number of disabled persons and
greatly extend the service that the :
department can render to the citizens
of the state.
The services of this department are
available for those disabled citizens
of the state not disabled soldiers 1
who maybe aided either by training, j
the securing of prosthetic appliances, j
or the securing of suitable employ- j
ment to earn a living. The require- j
ments to be met are that the person :
must be at least sixteen years of age
and the disability must have occur
red within the state of North Caro- j
lina or he must have lived in the j
state at least a year prior to making !
application for assistance. On in-1
vestigation, it must be shown that
the asistance asked for will have aJ
direct vocational advantage, that is,
it must fit one for employment or
increase his earning capacity.
The people of any community or
county can render the committee and
this department of rehabilitation dis
tinctive service by reporting to the
committee any disabled cases that
may come within their knowledge and
can greatly aid the committee by co
operating in arranging for this
service.
