President II. T. Hunter conducted the program oii, Wednesday with Geo nre Carpentrif, a former student, playing the piano. Mr. Hunter's talk' was on "Contentment with Dissat isfaction."

State To Push Completion Of Road Into Park TODAY aiid TOMORROW (By Frank Parker Stockbridge) Migration There is a "back-to-the-land"; movement actively in progress in the i Kast.-Within the past three months sixteen farms within five miles of my own have been sold to people who have been working in the factor-; ies in the industrial cities of -Massa- j chusetts. 1 l^iIked with one of these new-1 comers the other day. "I'm an flee- j trieian," he said. "When times are I t?0<?d 1 have a job in an electrical j equipment factory. When times are bad I'm out of a job. We have been saving, my wife and I, to buy a house in town. Then we began to consider what good a town house would be to us if I didn't have a job. On tlit farm we can at least feed ourselves and our three children, and we're u^ar enough to town so that when things pick up I can go back to my job and come home every night. I'm not a farmer, but my wife is country bred and I'm not afraid of work.'' We are going to hear more of this sort of' thing. In the old days the "landless man" was regarded as aj social outcast. The only really inde- j pendent man today is the one who j lean get bis own living, in a pinch,! from his own land. Houses i I saw the beginning of a revolu tion (he other day in Wilmington, Delaware. It is a house, a small, one family house, the frame of which is made of pressed steel shapes. Two young men put the frame of the house together with bolts in a couple of days' time. It was as easy as a boy playing with one of the popu lar structural toys. Those ameteur builders are using only materials which call for no skilled labor in completing their house. Factory-made roofing, siding, insulating material, wall-board and flooring will give them, they say, a more substantial house than most, and fat much lower cost than a house built in the usual manner. I heard of other experiments in factorv-built homes. Engineers, ar chitects and manufacturers are about ready to offer better homes at less money. Work The five-day week for factory workers* is already established in many large industries and in some of the building trades. It will not be long before nobody works on Sat urday. The eight-hour working day, for which the labor unions fought for so many years, seems about to be short ened. The Kellog Company of Battle Creek is the first large concern to try the six-hour day. The factory runs twelve hours, in two shifts. There is 110 time out for meals. The company reports that even with an increase of one-eighth'in the basic wage rate the overhead and operat ing cost per unit of production is lower than under the eight-hour plan. Watch for the shortening of the working day by other industries. Shoes Shoes ar.e cheajier than ever before, and the tendency is still downward. At the same time, a fashionable Fifth Avenue custom shoemaker has recently raised his minimum price for a pair of ladies' shoes from $75 to $100 a pair! The latest thing to make shoes cheaoer is the irlued-on sole. A new adhesive, developed in the DuPont laboratories and now in use by some 7(J(-odd shoe factorjes, fastens the sole to the upper without the use of taciks, pegs or stitches. It is said to be waterproof, flexible and per manent. There will always be a few people whfi yill pay fancy prices for hand j made' goods, but the big money is I made by those who find a better way j to make things cheaper. Fish Fish ought to be the cheapest of all foods, instead of being one of the Decision has been reached by the State Highway commission to com plete by "force account" the remain ing three and a half miles of State Ifighway No. 107, which connects State Highway No 10 with the Tenn essee State Highway at Newfound Gap. The highway commission, real izing the importance of this road, which gives access to the (ireat Smoky .Mountains National park from the North Carolina side, decided not to go through the usual routine of let ting the project by contract. Orders have been given State Highway commission forces to pro ceed with the work of completing the stretch of road. Part of the force has been instructed to proceed with the work on the road east of Smokemont, and the remaining work men have been ordered to move equij>~ ment to start drilling. Although the work is expected to proceed as fast as possible, it is not believed that the road will be com pleted until January 1. The cost will be around $12,000. Civic organizations in Western North Carolina have been actively interested in having the State High way commission proceed with the completion of the Smokemont high way link, .lames G. Stikeleather, of Asheville, former State highway com missioner, recently wrote E. B. Jeffrcss, chairman of the commission stating that Western North Carolina is vitally interested in the completion of the highway to the gap and urged the chairman to use his influence in having the work started at once $n " force account." Mr. Stikeleather, in his letter; suggested that short detour can be built to connect with the o\d county road a distance of probably 600 feet, thus allowing many tourists to visit the park this summer. .T. C. Walker, division highway engineer, with head quarters in Asheville, states that this detour will be built, as a temporary measure.

It is one food ?Vop which requires no planting nr cultivation. ? TV reason for the high cost is the * lieriabable nature of fish and the ; expense of keeping it iced. Experi ments with the quick freezing of: fish by carbon dioxide-snow or "dry ice" indicate that the flavor can be preserved and deterioration prevent ed in a way which makes the cost of handling and shipping much low er than previously.
