HENDRIX NAMED VICE PRESIDENT Concord Man Honored by the Convention. Re ports Submitted and Ac cepted at Final Session. Election of officers. solution of the 1927 meting p'.nre mid reports of com mittees were (tie concluding business matters before the meeting of the North Carolina Huilding and Loan League which ended its annual con vention at noon today. Officers elected were: c ' W. Hen Goodwin, Elizabeth City, President. Gilbert H. Hendrix, Concord, First Vice President. Leon Cash, Winston-Salem, Second Vice President. O. E. Todd, Wilmington, Secretary and Treasurer. Hickory was selected ngain as the next convention city, the invitntion being extended by George R. Wooten. The decision to meet there was over whelming in the contest with Dur ha m. Other cities extending invitations were As’lieville. Pinehusst, Raleigh and Statesville. In addition to the officers the ex ecutive committee will be composed of E. F. Allen, of Lenoir, and E. Y. Keesler, of Charlotte. Delegates chosen to represent the State league at the 1 nited Stnte League meeting j are Mr. Todd, Mr. Wooten and Mr.! Goodwin. Reports of committee were heard with interest and developed some dis-! cession, particular interest being paid to the report of the legislative eom-| mittee. Some of the recommenda tions of this committee, all of which I were accepted, were: That part of taxes paid by associa tions be used to create fund for su pervision work. That no association be allowed to make loans on pro)>erty outside the county in which its offices are located except the property in adjoining coun ties be within 25 ini'.es of the associa tion offices. That associations be permitted if they desire to crent funds not in ex cess of five per cent, of their assets. The Keesler memorial funds com mittee recommended that three trus tees, Chase Bernizer, G. R. Wooten and W. E.

The committee on bulletins recom mended that the league have a bulle tin printed each mouth as a supple ment to the American Building As sociation News, 100 copies to be sent to persons outside the membership of the league. The report wag adopt er!. The resolutions committee expressed thanks for the many courtesies shown the delegates here, paying special at tention to civic dubs, the newspaper and the Hotel Concord management. Officers of the league also were com mended for their work during the yea r. This committee recommended that the Stnte league use its influence to ward influencing the I'nited States League to hold its 1027 convention in Asheville. If t'.iis is done the State League will hold its meeting in Asheville at the same time. The second day of the convention of the league ended after midnight Wednesday with a dance given by the Merchants and Manufacturers Club. More than fifty couples were present. The dance came as the climax to a day filled with business and social activities. Two business sessions kept the visitors engaged for several hours and thep there was a hurried drive to Kannapolis for an inspection of the Cannon mills and then another hurried drive to the Jackson Training School where students offered a short but attractive program. Following came the bauquet which lasted sev eral hours and was featured by an excellent program and a delectable menu. “Do Fees and Fines Promote or. Retard the Growth of the Building I and Loan Business?” was the subject for general discussion at the after noon session. Talks were made by V, A. Idol, of High Point; Thomas F. Hill, of Durham, and J. E. Brinn, of Sanford. Informal discussion of other mat ters also occupied the attention of the delegates at the afternoon ses sion. In cars furnished by local Kiwan ians, Rotarians and other individuals the delegates were whisked to the towel,town and back to the Training School. Only a portion'of tile giant manufacturing plant could be visited due to lack of time but in this brief space of time the delegates saw enough to understand why the mill is recog nized as the largest of its kind in the world. At the Training School the visitors showed keen interest In the appear ance of the students, the manner of their brfiavior and the records they have made. They were told that more than 85 per cent, of the stu dents make good after leaving the school. The Concord Daily Tribune - North Carolina’s Leading Small City Daily ♦ IThis statement was later used as a challenge by I.con ('ash, of Wins » ton-Salem. Speaking at the banquet , several hours later Mr. Cash men tioned this splendid record and asked I if the average citizen of flic state of North Carolina are producing boys rand young men that turn out 85 peri cent, successfn'. Dr. T. N. Silencer was toastmaster 1 at the banquet, served in the assembly hall of the hotel and given by the j ‘ courtesy of the three locnl building i . and loan associations. In addition 1 to the visitors quite a number of | Concord persons were guests of the associations and enjoyed to the ful -5 lest the feast of fine Pilings offered. In . addition to the addresses, n solo * by Mrs. H. G. Gibson, with piano » accompaniment by Mrs. Leslie Cor i rell, and a rending by Miss Lorainel - Blanks, were thoroughly enjoyed. Lat jer in the evening several members from a troupe of vaudeville artists . at the Concord Theatre were seen and heard in dunces and other mu : sical numbers. 1 At the banquet Mrs. Gibson ren- I dered in her usual charming way, two ; delightful songs, "A Little Brown ’, Bird Binging.'' by Hnyden Wood, and i "Sweet Miss Mary,” by NVdlinger. O. Clinton James, president of the I’nited Stntes League of Local Build ing and Loan Associations, was the first and most prqminent speaker of the banquet. Before beginning his ! prepared address Mr. James took occasion to commend North linians for the progress of their state and their spirit of optinvsm. In his nddress he paid tribute to Senator Simmons, ranking senator from North Carolina, declaring that Senator Sim mons ever had proved a real friend . to building and loan men when aid ! was needed in the capital. I In concluding Mr. James paid trib i ute to the late Edward L. Keesler. of Charlotte, saying he would not “be ! true to my own feelings if I did not pay tribute to Mr. Keesler, your friend I and ray friend.” In his nddress President James Itointed out the marked progress of I building and loan associations, pre dicted greater growth in the future, urged associations to take part in thrift campaigns and urged cam paigns of education among the rank . and file so that more faith would be created in the associations, and of ficials of the associations would bet ter understand their work. “According to statistics of 1020. North Carolina ranked eighteenth in assets and memberships in the I’nited States league,” Mr. James said, “and in 1024 you had moved to sixteenth place. “In 1020 the total number of as sociations In the state was 141, and in 1024 it was 247, In 1020, your total membership was 58,121, and in 1024, it was 85,000. In 1020, your total assets were $23,452,711, and in 1024, your total assets were $70,000,- 000. In 1020, your gain in assets was $3,000,771, and in 1024, the gain was $12,130,435. “The building and loan associations the country over have shown an av erage increase for the past five years of 100 per cent, while the figures are not available from the secretary’s report to the present time, it is esti mated that the building and loan as sociations throughout the country last year gained approximately $500,- 000,000. I predict that by 1031, when we celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the first building and loan association in the United States.” The big problem confronting the building and loan men of the I'nited States today is the problem of educa tion, according to Dr. Horace F. Clark, educational director of the Americans Savings, Building and I-oan Institute, at his address be fore the banquet. In spite of the tremendous growth of these neighborhood associations, the average man in the street is not familiar with their operations, ac cording to Dr. ClWk, and one of the principal difficulties is that in the past, building and loan secretaries have been too busy with other mat ters to learn how to acquaint the people with their business. The need for better education, both for secre taries and through them for the gen eral public has been recognized by the leaders in the national movement, and today systematic courses are being studied by more than 1,200 building and loan men in thirty-five local chapters of the institute which Dr. .Clark heads. I A standard textbook has been writ ten by Dr. Clark and his colleague, Frank A. Chase, who is also well known in North Carolina. This book Is the basis of the course now being offered both to resident students and by correspondence. North Carolina has a splendid development of build ing and loan associations, but its as sets of $81,000,000 are only one sixty-eighth of those of the United States, instead of one-forty-eighth as they should be. Dr. Clark is a college professor with a classroom as big as the nation, for his students are found in every cor ner of the United States. His mes sage to the North Carolina delegates was a plea for a wider vision of tfie great problems that confront the bus iness. With the increase in the bus - iness, outsiders are trying to enter it in order to line their own pockets at the expence of the members of their associations. New plans are being presented as panaceas, when aa a matter of fact many of the new sug gestions have been tried out years ago and found to be unsound.

N> FIELD, City Tax Collector. CONCORD, N. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1926 How Farmers Stand on Prohibition Raleigh. X. C\, June 24.—The Progressive Farmer here Announces to day the results of a prohibition straw vote among Southern fanners as fol lows : 1. For strict adherence to the Eighteenth Amendment and enforce ment of the Volstead Law 3,309 [ 2. For modification of the Volstead Lav to permit the sale of light wines and beer on a local option basis 334 3. For repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment and a return to state control of the liquor problem —* 867 . Total 4.570 Percentage for Prohibition 73.7 ( Percentage for Modification 7.3 , Percentage against Prohibition 18.9 MORE THAN $2 000,000 ADDITIONAL ACCRUED To the Highway Department Up to June 1. 1026. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. June 24.—More than 2,- i 00(1,000 additional accrued to the cof fers of the highway department up to June 1. 192(1. than in all of the previous fiscal year of 1924-25, ac cording to records in tiie motor ve hicle bureau of the department of revenue. But not only did colla tions show a big increase bot'.i in the highway and theft funds but a de cided decrease in the expense of ad ministration of these two funds is also noted, resulting in a net sav ing of $7,991.10. The increase in the collections, of course, is easly explained by the stead ily increasing number of automobiles in the state, and the collections of the highway fund up to June Ist amount ed to $11,529,004.72 ns compared with $9,308.35(147 for the entire previous fiscal year, which is a gain of $2,- 100.048.25 in eleven mouths as com pared with the previous twelve months. If is expected that the total figures for the entire fiscal year, which ends June 31. 1020, will be well over $12,- 000,000. Collections of the theft fund in 1924-25 over the full twelve months period to June Ist. amounted to $130.- 387.50, which represented a gain of $17,148.27. The total net gain in collections of both highway nnd theft funds for the eleven months period is $2,177,790.52. And now comes the surprising part. With the decided increase in collec tions. it would naturally be expected thnt additional help would be neces sary iu the offices to take care of this increase. But this evidently was not the case, judging from the records of the department. For while it cost $287,290 20 to collect the smaller fund in 1924-25, the expense of collecting the larger sum was reduced to $278,- 131.10 in the fiscal year •of 1925-4A tip to June Ist, at decrease of sll,- 105.10. A slight increase in the cost of the collection of the theft fund was noted—3,474.oo—but this was more than compensated by the gain of $17,- 148.27 in collections.
