IN AND ABOUT THE OTY 1 PENNEY FOUNDATION 1 WltL fUNCfION SOON The. R«v. D. L. Poling Will Be Di rector of Foundation Backed by Chain Store’s Head. "New York World. The Rev. Daniel A. Poliug, eo-ptis toof the Marble Collegiate Churrii anti president of tbe United Societies rs Christian Endeavor, announced •Tuesday, following action of his con gregation, his acceptance of the poet of director of the J. Penney Foun dation. Tbe foundation, established four years ago by .Tames Cash Pen ney, head of tbri chain of 607 general merchandise stores whieti bear his name, is intended to administer a se ries of unusual philanthropies. Associated, with Dr. Poling in the .vocational department of the founda tion will be B.urdette G, Lewis, who resigned Saturday as State Commis sioner of Institutes in New Jersey. January Ist Mr. Lewis will become vice president of the Penuey-Gwinn Company, which will administer the first of the idealistic endeavors of the foundation. This is a “'back to the soil" move ment. conducted under scientific aus pices. Mr. Penney has purchased 150,00 Q acres of land in Florida, which have been divided into 250 farms. The farms are to be allocated on the profit-sharing principle on which Mr. Penney organized his chain of stores. None of the Florida farms is for sale, but tl)e fanners will be selected 1 for their fitness to raise vegetables, and each will be a potential owner. No rent is tp.be paid during tbe first year. Should the farmer be dissatis fied or be deemed unsatisfactory, be may terminate thy arrangement. If the farmer gives up his allot ment he is allowed to retain the full value of his crops. If it is mutually decided that lie shall purchase the farm ,the sale is negotiated on long term payments at the price agreed upon in advance. Farming is one of the things in which Mr. Penney is deeply inter ested. Managing his 474-acrc farm in Dutchess county is his pet avoca tion. There he maintains about 250 full-blooded and registered Guernseys and a bull whose picture hangs in Mr. Penney's office with the con spicuous inscription, "This Is Our Bull." When Dr. Poling takes office as di rector of the Penney Foundation, the first of the year, its activities will greatly expand. Concerning the foun dation. Dr. Poling said yesterday: "It is to be increasingly the social, educational and religious expression of both the spirit and fortune of its founder. Its plan provides for a conservative beginning with a com prehensive program which aspires to strengthen, in the direction of self help, the enterprises it may support, and which will lay a particular em phasis upon research and counsel in the field of vocational training." I>r. Poling will retain his pastorate. Thev.T, C. Pwmey Company is cap italized foe $45,000,000. For the eur-l rent jtenrs the stores have been doing I a $90,000,000 business, so the .Foundn • j ticn should not tv- hampered for inch of funds. Mr. Penney's first job was with .1. M. Hale & Bros, in tile dry goods trade in Hamilton, Mo., where he was born, the soil of a country minister. He received $2 27 a month. Now he is insure,! for $3,000,000. Three years ago The World ask<‘d Mr. Penney to give the principles he folllcwed in achieving his success?. This was his reply: "Selecting iqeu who are morally right, placing responsibilities on their shoulders aud examining results. "Unlimited faith !u associates. "Making it possible for men io ac quire interest in stores by allowing them to share in that which they produce, "Tying men’s interests up so that co-operation is assured, resulting in strong organization. "Bearing with men in their mis takes." NEW OFFICES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OPENED Headquarters Established in Offices of Dr. T. N. Spencer. New Secre tary.

TBY'ffi THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE YETI’S THE SECOND OF KANNAPOLIS A Pronrinents (Special to The Tribune) New York, Dec. 19.—As oqr read ers know by our last writing, we are On our way to Europe and nave got ten as far (is New York. We left Kannapolis on the early 5:17 train and did not expect to see apy of our friends at the depot at that early hour, but greatly to our surprise. E. J. Sharpe, John Carpen ter, and Jazzy Moore were there wait ing for us and wished us a safe and happy voyage. John- gave us a good nickle cigar: Ed gnve us a package of Teaberry chewin' gum and Jazzy gave us a nice pat and a part. The women certainly were kind to us in Kannapolis the day before we left and many contributed to opr lunch box. No one ever left home with a more surplus box than djd we. Mrs. C. M. Powell gave us half of a delicious gooseberry pie; Mrs. E. E. Lady gave us two tarts; Mrs. Burley Beaver gave us three chicken sand wiches made so that "we could taste the chicken the first bite. Mrs. Tout Widenhouse gave us a bag of assort ed gum drops; Mrs. Troutman ga’ve us four turnovers; Mrs. John Carpen ter’ gave us the whole breast of a tur key : and Mrs. Sam Query gave us something we didn’t know what it was, but it tasted good. The first thing we did on our ar rival here was to procure our ticket. We are going over as a steerage pas senger because we found that it would be much cheaper. We don’t know ex actly jivhat is meant by “steerage pas sengers" but from from we can learn, they have to steer the boat. It may be hard work but then, just see the money we will save. Before leaving Kannapolis we or dered our mail directed to General Delivery. New York and my sakes! what a big mail we got. Dozens of let ters from our friends telling of the happenings in Kannapolis since we left. . . One letter told about the mammoth Christmas tree with hundreds of elec tric bulbs put in front of the Cabar rus Y. M. C. A. and how they are ex pecting h itji Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus with a real African brass band. The letter stated that the Cannon Y r was planning some kind of (loin's also. Another letter told of Arnold Par ker having a new girl ill Concord aud got tired of waiting for the busses so bought a second hand Ford. The first day he drove it. lit broke a spring and replaced it with a buggy spring and now that is busted. It also tells how. at recess time. Lais Earnhardt excuses herself, throws off her apron and runs home to shake the stove pok er at tho stove until it is soared out of its lazy ways, anil then she counts out the potatoes for dinner. If we have any time off from our we will write* again while classing the pond nml mail it from the other, side. CONCORD WINS GAME FROM PROXIMITY Y 1 z eals Get Long End of 46-35 Seprc and Take Firtfl Gam? of \'ear. — Collegians Heelp. Concord Y has won a game. After four consecutivq losses, it be gan to look to those who are interest ed in Locil sjetrt s as though the Y team was headed toward the no-win championship, and was trying to see how- few points could be scored this year. Last night, however, under the coaching of Nevin Sappenfield, former Davidson football and basketball ace, the locals took heart and ran wild, showing tlie most clever work of the year and making the fans hopeful that next week's games with Wnke Forest and Lenoir-Rhyne might terminate successfully. The score in the game was 40-35 and the opponents were the members of the Proximity Y at Greensboro. The greater pprt of the Proximity score came during the last ten min utes of the game, when Conch Sappen fieid's squad. wit,fy a commaiupng lead, let down the bars and the visitors took full advantage of the laxness of the locals. All' the scoring of the Proximity team was not due to the let-up on the part of tile Concord players, however. They were shooting desperately to ov ercome the lead and made more of the miracle variety of shots than are us-, ually stacked up in an entire season. The two Coble boys led in this work. I tossing in seemingly impossible sliAs witli a great degree of accuracy. The regular Concord team was strengthened by the addition of a number of collegians home for the holidays. John Cook, member of the Davidson .squad. Tom Cpltrane and Ed Morrison, both members of last yeur's Y’ team, were among the additions to the locals. All played well, especial ly John Cqok. However, the star of the game was not Cook. Rob Dick, captain of the team, was the shining light, making 22 of his team's points and doing some clever floor work. Miles Wolff was runer-up in number of points scored, making a total of 14, The locals started with a rush, cag ing several* baskets before the visitors had found themselves. During the en tire first.half. Concord retained a good lead, the period ending 24-12 in favor of the locals. With the opening of the second half. Coach Sapeufield’ charges again hoped off to a good start but became tired at the last part of the half'and allowed the visitors to come within striking distance.
