This bill provides for an election on June 8th, and if 51 of the coun ties vote wet then the counties voting wet will have liquor stores set up. What the Senate will do with this bill is doubtful, both sides claiming a majority. It was referred to (the Judiciary com mittee and will probably be re ported back about Wednesday. On Saturday morning at 12:01 the House passed the revenue bill on its second reading. It is thought the bill will pass its third read ing without further trouble, and then be sent over to the Senate for action, There were several minor changes in the bill, the most important being the removal of all exemptions to the sales tax. T If the Senate concurs in the . bill as amended there is a possibil ity that the Legislature "may ad journ in about two weeks, but ? this is simply a possibility and not a probability, for there are num erous matters which will cause debate before they are settled. / ? ? ?- ? -- Let Us Do Your Commercial Printing I . - Rotary - Kiwanis To Stage Charity Donkey Ball Game Kiwanis Batteries Will Probably ' Be Furman Herbert, Pitch er, Carl Bowen, Catcher; Rotary Lineup Is Un certain WILL BE PLAYED ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 1st The funniest sport, donkey baseball, will have new proponents on Wed nesday night at 8:00 P. M. when the Rotarians and Kiwanians will clash on the Jalong field under floodlights. Although the definite line-up has not been announced it is indicated that Furman Herbert will do the hurling for the Kiwanians while Carl Bowen will preside behind the bat. It is also thought that Clyde Bowen will occupy the hot corner at third, with Bill Minor on first, Robert Long at short stop and Tom Hamilton on sec ond. The outfield will probably be: Philip Thomas, Robert Burns and Bax ter Mangum. All other Kiwanians will stand by to substitute in case of need. Dr. Bennie Thaxton is coaching this group and it is thought that they will rim away^ith the game. For the Rotarians Mr. Jim Walker appears to be slated to pitch with Mr. Bill West performing behind the bat. Dr. Jack Hughes, it is though, will handle things at first, Mr Alex Ser geant at second, with Paul Cashwell at short stop and Gene Thompson at third. Outfielders probably will be Messrs. Will Bullock, Howard Strang, and O. B. McBroom. Mr. George Kane is coaching these boys and it is felt that the Kiwanians will have a hard time to win. Admission to the game will be ten and twenty-five cents, proceeds from which will go to charitable purposes. o Annual Banquet For Seniors Held Friday Evening Juniors Entertain Seniors And Faculty At Community House MORE THAN ONE HUN DRED ARE PRESENT The Senior Class and Faculty of the Roxboro High School were guests of the Juniors Friday evening at 9 o'clock at the Community House for the annual Junior-Senior banquet.

President Says Recovery Being " Achieved ' Despite "Few Who Seek To Confuse" The Public CALLS UPON PEOPLE TO CO-OPERATE WITH WORK RELIEF DRIVE Urges Them To Help Make It Cleanest And Most Sussessful Program In Nation's History; Believes Battle Against Economic Depression Being Slowly, But Surely Won; Calls On Congress To Enact Social Security, Banking, Holding Company, NRA Extension And Transportation Regu lation Measures As Part Of Exten sive Effort To Round Out Nation's Economic Life. Washington. April 28 ? President Roosevelt tonight lashed out at New Deal critics, who, he said, seek to profit by confusing the people about recovery moves, and assured the nation that the threatening dangers of a great ec onomic calamity had passed. Without mentioning by name either of the New Deal's two most vigorous critics ? Father Charles E. Coughlin and Senator Huey P. Long, the Presi dent said in his fireside chat that the constructive rebuilding of America was progressing steadily. In Spite of Them Warning that this tremendous task could not be done in a day or a year and saying that the people knew it, Mr. Roosevelt said sharply: "It is being done in. spite of the few who seek to confuse them and to profit by their confusion." He urged the American people to co-operate In making the $4,000,000, 000 work relieT program a success. In ? message brimming with optim ism, tempered only by the admission that the nation's relief rolls still were too large, although they were steadily , diminishing, the Chief Executive said: "Americans as a whole are feeling a lot better ? a lot more cheerful than for many, many years. Never since my inauguration in March 1933, have I felt so unmistakably the atmosphere of recovery," Must Be Enacted. Before this could be wholly achieved, however, Mr. Rjoosevelt said certain leg islation which has been submitted to Congress, and which, before the Presi dent's speech, was conceded to face an uncertain fate, must be enacted. He listed these measures: 1. Social security. 2. The new banking act. which he endorsed publicly for the first time to night. 3. Public utilities holding company legislation. 4. Extension and revision of the N RA. 5. Measures to improve transporta tion agencies. He described these proposals as "es sential factors in a rounded program for national recovery." In the first fireside chat he has had with the nation since last September, when he rushed to the defense of the NRA. staggering under a load of crit icism and dissension, the President likened the various recovery stepe to the building of a ship. o Cooking School To Start Tuesday Sessions Will Be Held Tuesday And Wednesday In Com munity House At 2 P. M. Miss Nell Scott, Home Service Ex pert of the Carolina Power and Light Co., has everything in readiness for the Cooking School which will be held Tuesday and Wednesday of this week at the Community House.
