Toy Orchestra
'The students of Cowee school
are pro.ud of their teachers, fbr
r they do not only uach .mathema
tics, geography and history, but
they arc interested in our musical
talent also; through their direction
and aid we havci ..purchased a toy
orchestra.
The way we raised the money
to purchase it, we first bought a
pig . and fed it scraps from the
lunch room table, sold it and -used
the profit; then we sold pictures
and candy and took the profit with
that of the pig and' made enough
to pay for it.
:Thc toy orchestra contains
enough instruments ' for about . 20
pupils. We practise every (Tuesday
and Friday afternoons with Mrs.
Harry S. Higgins a our director.
We hac learned many pieces. V
are working for a set of Encyclo
pedias which are being giyen
away. We sure want to thank our
teachers and Mrs. Higgins for
tlvci'r interest.

MOVEMENTS for the public good are
frequently launched with great en
thusiasm, but sometimes die out because
sustained effort is lacking.
This is not-true" of the North Carolina beer in
dustry's program to improve conditions in retail
outlets.
Prosecuted with diligent effort since its launching
in May, 1939, our Committee's "clean up or
close up" campaign in North Carolina has won
the praise and support of law enforcement of
ficers, the press and public. During the past 2 1
months the state's beer industry has proved its
sincerity of purpose by a consistent record of
direct action and results.
The record: 1.537 retail beer outlets investi
gated; 203 warned to improve conditions. We
reported 1 76 to the authorities for action; as a
result 121 licenses were revoked, 10 placed on
probation, 2 surrendered their licensee, and 25
license renewals were refused.
We promise there will be no let-up ia our efforts
