J. f is named executive director of the foundation. NEW HEAD DIVISION PURCHASE & CONTRACT Conjecture and curiosity as to who would be the new head of the State Division of Purchase and Contract have been satisfied or disappointed by Gov. Hoey’s ap pointment of Senator J. Benton Stacy of Rockingham to fill the place made vacant by the resigna tion of Capus Waynick. The new head had experience as purchasing agent for troops dur ing the World War and has had practical experience as buyer for his own mercantile establishments. He is 46 years old and was State Senator in 1936. Instead of contributing toward a personal gift to Mr. Waynick as he left Raleigh for his home in High Point, a group of his assist ants took in his name one of Ral eigh’s needy families for which they will provide food, clothing, and cheer at Christmas. He is said to have approved their action and to have thanked them for doing this and not offering him a gift for his own use. CHARTS HOUSING SHORTAGE New York City—Headed by Mgr. John A.
