WILL DISCUSS NEW
IDEAS IN COOKING
^ m
*Tri
Womans Club To Bring New
Features for Approaching
Cooking School
AT THE HIGH SCIjfcOL
Demonstrations of electric dish
washing win be one of the features
of the all-electric kitchen demon
stration sponsored by the Woman's
Club and being held at the High
School on July 2nd and 3rd. Miss
' Vivian .Bushong, of the Home Ser
vice Department of the Carolina
Power & Light Company,' Will con
duct the school, admission to which
will be free.
The magic of electricity for all
other kitchen problems-w-ill be de
monstrated by Mrs. Bushong, who
an authority on electric kitchen
irrangement. She will show how,
with the electric refrigerator, the
homemaker can economize through
quantity buying of perishables,
through the use of left-overs for
merly thrown away, and through
the ease of preparation of inexpen
sive frozen desserts, fehe will also!
show how you may save time and!
effort though advanced preparation
of meals. Delicious and tempting I
refrigerator desserts will be pre- -
pared. Cake batter, which can be
made up in quantity and stored in
the refirgerator for use when de
sired, will be mixed and put into
the refrigerator until you are ready
to bake, on the electric range. How
to broil steaks and chops to an
appealing golden-brown tenderness
without fear of smoke or splattering
grease wil be featured by her.
In addition she will demonstrate
the ease with which an electric
range can be operated and show its
supremacy to other types of cook-, \
ery. In preparing vegetables she I ?
will show that practically no water'.
Is required. Unbelievable as it may
seem, as much as ten pounds of po-1;
tatoes can be cooked with one small 1
measure of water. This method '
makes it possible to retain all the
fine minerals and vitamins which j
are lost in the large amount of '
water necessary in many other types 1
of cookery.
The all-electric kitchen demon-1
stration will not deal simply with
the preparation of foods. The cor
rect method of setting tables for
different occasions will be shown,
and by no means the least attrac
tive feature will be a Style Show to
be conducted by participating mer- 1
chants during the intermission.
o
IS SOMEWHAT
EXAGGERATED
mt
^^ob
We believe in giving honor where
honor is due. and would not take
any deserved honor from any one
but when we saw an article in the
Durham Sun telling about the many
tilings accomplished by Mr. J. L.1
Sally, formerly in charge of the
construction program of the CWA in'
jhls County we must enter a demur- j
Mr. Sally was probably on his
to, doing faithful service, but when!
the statement was made- that hFt
had completed all of the projects
here we must object; as a matter of
fact of the four large projects here, i
viz: Sewerage propositions, swim-,
misg pool, community house and
the, gym at the high school; as a
matter of fact all .of these projects
are far from completion, all save
the swimming pbol being hardly
more than started.
Roxboro is intensely interested in
these projects, and since Mr. Sally's
resignation scarcely any work has
been done on any of them?and very
little before Mr. Sally quit, and many ,
of us are fearful that they will
never be completed by the FERA.
the alphabetical program which was
created after the death of the CWA.

PLEASANT CALLER
We enjoyed a pleasant visit from
our good friend. Rev. J .H. Shore of
Hamlet last Friday. As Mr. Shore
stated, we who do no farming al
ways know just exactly how it ought
to be done, and we decided for the
benefit of our farmer friends that if
they would cut about half of the
land they were not cultivating and
go in for extensive farming, making
one acre produce what they are
now getting from two .they would
sono get rich?by making their land
rich?and everything would be all
right with the farmer and the coun
try generally. Yes, sir. we both
know exactly how it could be done.

LARGE CROWD ENJOVS ROOSEVELT WILL TALK
COMMUNITY FISH FRY TO PEOPLE OF NATION
AT HURDLE MILLS AND GIVE ACCOUNTING
Widows Give Notice That They
Read List Of Eligibles In
Our Last Issue
j The good people of Hurdle Mills
community gave a fish fry last Fri
day afternoon at the old mill, and
were kind enough to invite us to
: participate. The editor, and the
Junior editor, Mr. F. O. Carver, were
there and did full duty in every way
required, which consisted in this
instance of seeing which could eat
the most fish. Well, F. O. Jr., has
the advantage of us by about seven
ty-five pounds, and of course you
know who won in this contest.
The grounds where these picnics
are held are ideal, located between,
two streams, with a fine sandy soil
and an abundance of shade. And
best of all, there are no better peo
ple on the globe than you find at
Hurdle Mills, they are progressive,
up-to-date, and If you are not look
ing for trouble you had best not say
anything derogatory concerning their
splendid high school. About 75 of
these good people had gathered for
this community fish fry, and every- i
thing was as near perfect as you
will find; the fish were done to a
turn, and that corn bread; honest- 1
ly, we have never tasted better, it ]
was cooked by the recipe of the ?
old black mammy?corn meal, salt, ,
and water. We had thought this j
mode of cooking had just about been ,
forgotten but they stil know how j
in this community. And by the way, (
when we were complimenting the ,
cooks they informed us "they had j
read the advertisement in our last i
issue about those three eligibles, and,(
we were instructed to tell.them that (
corn bread was prepared by some <
widows. Well, all we have to say is, j
they know how to cook, and these :
eligibles are tipped off to the fact. )
We thoroughly enjoyed-the after- j
noon and hope it may be our good
pleasure to have another invitation (
to this fine community. t

Progress Made Under New
Deal Will Be Main
Topic
ANNOYED A T STORIES
, .. .
Washington, June 26.?The Peo-'
pie of North Carolina will have an
opportunity Thursday night to hear
President Roosevelt give an ac
counting of the progress thus far
made under the new deal program,
a speech which will probably be of
20 .minutes duration. The President
is to leave Washington Saturday for
his vacation, which will include a
visit to Hawaii, returning via the
ncrthwest in five or six weeks.
Th the talk Thursday night, which
Is to be ore of the famous fireside
chats, the President is exp6cted~"toj
present a digest of the work of the
administration since the beginning
of the year, and the hope is enter -
ained that the President's utter
ances will afford an intimation of
what his fellow countryman may ex- ;
pect during the remainder of the
year, and from the next session of
Congfess. ?
More than likely Mr. Roosevelt
would have delayed this accounting
until after his vacation, and until
lie had "spoken" his way back to
Washington, had it not been for the
yery great annoyance he has ex
perienced over newspaper stories
which have attributed to him an
ntention of making a political and
iratorical effort to "sell" the new
leal to the people. In the first
ulace, it was made very clear in
White House circles this afternoon
hat Mr. Roosevelt does not believe
hat "selling" the new deal is ne
cessary: he believes that it has al
ready been sold by what has been
iccomplished. the improvement that
las taken place in the social and
ndustrial life of the nation.
It was said for the President today j
hat the speeches, that are to punc
;uate his return from the northwest
;o Washington, are to be non-poli
ical, in the sense that they will not
leal with political parties, for the
President is.said to be convinced
hat his approach to correction of
;vils that have beset the people goes
tar deeper than mere political algn
?nents. In other words, spokesmen
pf the administration insist that the
iew deal is to be regarded as a peo
ples' movement.
HAIL INSURANCE
"Knee Action" in an automobile
absorbs the bumps and' permits the
tar to glide forward smoothly with
out so many ups and downs. Hail
insurance will help you avoid the
'downs' In crop production. Hail is
something that you can neither pre
sent or avoid?if it comes?it copies,
ind wipes out a year's labor. "
It costs no more to have this pro
tection now than later and if you
jet it now you will not be worry
ing when hail comes?no matter
bassoon. Call, telephone or write
toVhnd out how to get this protec
tion for your crops. It is cheaper
than ever before.

MR. AND MRS. J. ALEX PAINTER
LIVED TOGETHER
ALMOST 60 YEARS
Mr. And Mrs. J. Alex Painter |
Died Within Week, After
Long Married Life
MARRIED JUNE 14, 1874
Mr. and Mrs. J. Alex Painter j
were married on June 14. 1874. Mr.
Painter was born on March 20, 1852,
and died on April 29, 1934. Mrs.
Sarah Mitchell Painter was born on
December 21, 1856, and died on May
5, 1934, only five days after her hus
band's death. Had they lived un
til the fourteenth of this month
they would have rounded out sixty
years of married life.
In 1924 Mr. and Mrs. Painter'
celebrated their golden wedding
anniversary. To this happy couple
there were born fifteen children who
will have tvith them forever the pic
ture of their parents in their long

vine calling of rearing fifteen hon-1
est. up-right citizens, and provid
ing for them until such a time as
they could provide for themselves, j
They made their home in the Olive'
Hill section of the county, and from
that home they have sent out these,
children into the world, living in;

there is no return, almost simul

WHAT ABOUT A
PUBLIC BUILD'NG
FOR ROXBORO?)
We see by the paper where a
neighboring town has succeeded in
getting an appropriation from the
Federal Government to buy a site
and build a Government building to
be used as a post office. This town
is very little more than half the
site of Roxboro in population or in j
a business way.
What have we done, towards get-:
ting something of this kind for our
selves?
I'm telling you, the reason we do
not get our part of the many Fed
eral aid monies, is that we are not
alive to the better Interests of our
community. We seem to be in a pas
sive mood. I beg you, let's awaken,
and move forward with a campaign
of agrresslveness and never say quit!
until we have won. Where is Vox

N. V. Brooks, Lawrence Woods and
Aubrey Long. They returned Mon
day night, reporting a good- trip
with plenty of fish.
EXPECTED TO
RECOVER
Mr. Isaac J. Moore, who was
taken to Watts Hospital last
week with a shotgun wound in
his face, will recover, according
to last reports from the hospi
tal. His condition was reported
as being as favorable as could be
expected and the doctors stated
that unless some unforseen com
plications set in, that' he had an
excellent chance to get com
pletely well. The wound was
self-inflicted.
WE FAIL TO DO
OUR DUTY TO
OUR CHURCH
A great many of we church mem
bers seem to be drifting away from
the house of God. So milch worldly
pleasure is keeping us away from
the church. It must leave a bad
impression on those who visit our
church and see how unregular we
attend. Those visitors are Often
called on to play or to teach a
class Just because some of us are
not there to perform our duties. \ I
wonder if they enjoy going to that
kind of . church.
I would think children would en
joy Sunday school more If their
teacher was always present. If
more teachers and parents atten^
ecfcSunday school and church regu
larly I believe more children would
attend.
Another way in which we fall to
do our duty Is that we do not show
enough courtesy to those that visit
our church. We ought to make them
feel like coming again by speaking
to them and Inviting them to come
back.
When we fail to visit the sick and
afflicted" people of our community
to do our duty. Often their
lives can be made happier by a few
kind words or flowers.
May God help us to be more loyal
and faithful to otir church and that
one of our greatest pleasures be
that of gotng.-to church every Sun
day.

| TELLS OF ATTEMPTS^
TO SETTLE DISPUTE
Washington, June 26?A deter

son that the shut-down Harriman
Hosiery Mills must make labor con
cessions to regain a Blue Eagle to
day put the question ot the govern
ment's next step?legal prosecution
?up to Attorney General Cum
mings.
'The prosecution part of the case
is in the hands of the Department
of Justice," Johnson said. "I don't
knony what the Justice Department
is going to do. It's a little bit em
barrassing."
For himself, answering Harriman
charges of "persecution," Johnson
said flatly.
'I have no doubt of the violation
of the code. I have less doubt now
than ever before."
Months ago, the case of the Ten
nessee hosiery plant was referred
to the Justice Department by the
National Labor Board for alleged
violation of the collective bargain
ing rights guaranteed labor in the
hosiery code and the recovery law.
A strike was called last October
when the Arm was alleged to have
i dismissed employes for union ac
tivities.
First Hearing.
On June Iff, Vhf Justice Depart
ment replied that a complete file of
evidence had not been submitted,
but that - on the basis of a tran
script of hearings before the Atlan
ta regional labor board, it did "not
consider the evidence sufficient to
wararnt legal prosecution."
Johnson said Cummings had
been given a complete file in the
case, including all records of the
Nnational Labor Board's and NRA's
I efforts to adjust the controvery.
Cummings has not yet indicated a
' new decision in the case. ~
