With The Rotarians
Rayo Senter had the program
last Friday evening. Donald Pip
pin played two selections on the
piano. If you have never heard
him play you will be surprised.
That boy is an artist.
Prof. Pepper told what the teach
ers in the Wakelon School were do
ing to learn what the students were
best fitted for and then inform
them about their chosen vocation.
That is something worth while and
should be a great benefit to them

honored in their undertaking to
start the boy or girl on their chos
en vocation during their school
days.

is Miniature Gardens for Winter.

in connection with this. Not only
members of the club, but all others
interested are asked to bring ar
rangements of plants or flowers.
Points which will be considered
in judging are: Sincerity—whether

ther too many flowers are crowded
into the container; Suitability—
whether the arangement is appro
priate for the purpose designated.
Contestants are requested to
bring their flowers to the Page

NUMBER 17
GENERAL NEWS
Sulfanilamide is one of the main
drugs in a new patent medicine
which has lately come upon the
market and which has been highly
recommended in treating many
diseases. It was found, however,
that the medicine is most injurious
unless the patient has the proper
dosage prescribed and that even
then there are some who cannot
use it. For this reason it is not
safe to be sold except when pre
scribed in the right amounts by a
physician. More than 40 deaths
have occured from the use of the
sulfanilamide preparation and the
company manufacturing it sent out
frantic messages urging the return
of all shipments after its danger
was discovered. Its sale is illegal
in North Carolina.
PRICES INVESTIGATED
President Roosevelt has announc
ed that he plans an investigation of
the prices of newsprint, which is
the blank sheets on which newspa
pers are printed. Its cost has ad
vanced within recent months until
the difference is keenly felt even
by small printing plants. There is
said to be neither scarcity nor un
usual demand for the newsprint,
hence the rise in price must be due
to other causes.
KILLING AND DEATH
In Raleigh on Monday night John
ny Williams, 14-year-old boy living
on New Bern Ave. near the Old
Soldiers’ Home, shot and killed his
older brother Joseph aged 19. Two
hours later the boys’ grandfather
C. W. Creech, who made his home
with the family, died from shock.
The father was already in jail for
an infringement of the law.
Joh'nny, who dropped out of
school recently, said that his older
brother had continually beaten him.
On Monday night the younger boy
was told by the older to sack up
coal for an order. A row followed
and Johnny left the house, later re
turning to his room and leaving
word for his brother not to enter
where he was. In the darkness he
stated that he saw Joseph come in
and that he fired to stop him, not
to kill him. Death came as the
wounded boy was being taken to a
hospital.
COALITION DESIRED
In an address made over the ra
dio Tuesday night former president
Herbert Hoover declared himself in
favor of fusion and coalition of Re
publicans and those of other parties
—notable Democrats—who are op
posed to the present administration.
He declared that the members of
the middle class in America should
be made the “forgotten men”.
Hoover asserted that he wants no
public ofifce for himself.
EFIRD’S STORES GIVE BOOKS
Efird’s Stores, a chain of 55 in
three states, is giving each public
school in North Carolina a copy of
the book, “Facts to Know North
Carolina”. This was compiled
by John Mullen of Lincolnton and

importance about North Carolina.
Efird’s Store in Raleigh will dis
tribute 70 copies of these books in
Harnett an d Wake counties.
