Roosevelt Birthday Balls have been given over the country on or about the birthday of th.c President. Funds raised by these affairs were to go to a nationwide Infantile Paralysis Fund to aid those who wore affllicted with this dangerous disease. At the last ball held tor this cause a portio" of the money was to be used locally and a part was to go into the cofTers of the national compaign. North Caulina is now in the throes of poliomyeMis with more than * hundred cases scattered over the state and with a few deaths recorded from the effects of this disease. If we are ever to need this fund now is the time for it. The President was stricken after he was grswn, indeed after he had Attained the resnonsibili ties of a wife and family. Fortunate ly he was in a position fi take treat ments at a placc that his since be come famous for its cures, Warm Springs. Ga. But there are many who cannot even afford first aid treatment at nearby hospitals. It is for .these that the plea is being made that every effort be made in their behalf in order that we may not have a crippled posterity. In the name of humanity, and es specially in the name of these helpless parents and children, the plea is made that, if necessary, all this money' and any other that may be available be cen tered here In North Carolina and bordering states until this crippling disease that wracks the system and, in a majority of cases, leaves the victim crippled for life, shall be stamped out. o SEMOR A NEWS Mrs. O.

A business office ro mance resulted in the marriage to day of George Washington Hill, "mil lion dollar a year" American tobacco executive, and his secretary, Mary Barnes. "Hie 50-year-old president of the American Tobacco company and Miss Barnes, 39, were wed in the Caxtdn Hall registers' office with nine relatives and friends in attendance. After the brief ceremony Hill gave his bride an affectionate kiss as they passed Buckingham palace in a taxi cab en route to a down town hotel. The guests followed in other taxis to a champagne party at the hotel. "I dont know our plans, but I can say, I am darned happy," asserted the executive. Mrs. Hill with difficulty controlled her emotion as they faced a barrage of cameras outside the registry office. But she regained her composure when the couple left and they posed for more pictures before entering the hotel. Although British law prescribes that the civil ceremony be held "with open doors" the registry office lobby was cleared just before Hill's arrival of spectators who had witnessed previous weddings. The tobacco magnate wore a dark blue suit with brown shoes, a black bow tie and carried a stick. His bride wore a blue dress of plain material and a navy blue hat. She carried a large spray of white orchids. For fees and the license the "mil lion-dollar-year" executive paid out 2 pounds, 14 shillings, seven pence, or about $13.25. Among those attending the wedding were Hill's brother-in-law, Maurice Boyer, director of the Bank of Prance, and Mrs. Boyer, Hill's sister, Kather ine; the bride's brother, Robert Barnes and Hill's daughter by his first mar riage.
