Misses Annie Hartsell, Vera Mc Lean, Cattie McDonald and Chrissie McLean attended services at Union on Sunday. During the commencement exer cises of the 1st and 2nd grade, a white middy suit and blue tie, belonging to the six-year-old child of Mr. B. T. Thompson was lost. The Finder will kindly return it, leaving it at the Post office in the town of Cameron. Mr. Burt Vick and his bride, who was Miss Allie Nails of Culomee, passed through town Monday on their way to Duke, after a visit to Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Vick on Vass route 1.

The correspondent, with Misses Mamie and Kate Arnold and Mr. Tom Arnold, had the pleasure of listening to a sermon broadcast by radio last Sunday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Angus Ferguson on route 2. Ihe sermon was preached by Rev. Perci- val Barker, pastor of Point Breeze Presbyterian church, Pittsburgh, Pa. Rev. Barker’s subject was “Christ’s Temptation,” taken from the 4th chapter of Matthew. The songs we heard were “What a friend we have in Jesus,” “The Holy City,” and “Rock of Ages.” Then we listened to a concert by the Carnegie Tech. Sym- (Continued on page 2) TOLERATION I JUSTICE is that standard or boundary of right which I enables us to render to every man his just due, with- I out distinctions.” It is easy to do this to your friends I and associates, but how about the man whom you do not like? Even to this man we may be able to render his just due in the matter of dollars and cents, but how about a due deference to his opinions ? We are apt to be harsh in our judgment of opinions contradictory of our own. Our opinions are very dear possessions, but let us re member that the other man’s ideas and opinions are likewise dear to him. As we cherish our own opinions let us “render to every man his just due” in truth by re specting the opinions of others. VASS HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT The commencement exercises of the Vass High School began Stinday morning, April 22, with an address by Hon. R. N. Page of Southern Pines, in the Methodist church. His subject was “Education,” and he spoke to a large and attentive audience. On Monday night a musical pro gramme was given by the pupils of Misses Ethel Coats and Montrose Bal lard, in the school auditorium. This was listened to and enjoyed by a gathering that filled the hall. Tuesday night the recitation and declamation contest was held in the same place, the speakers being mem bers of the literary societies of the high school. The judges were Mr. D. A. McLauchlin, Mrs. Vaughn Byrd and Miss Pearl McNeill. The medals were awarded to Miss Lula Eastwood and Mr. Claude Matthews. Seats were at a premium this time, and the “S. R. O.” sign could have been hung up in truth. Wednesday morning at 11 o’clock the commencement sermon was preached by Rev. C. E. Clark, of Car thage. His text was from Jeremiah XVIII. 6. The diplomas and certifi cates of perfect attendance were giv en by Prof. Matthews. In the even ing at 8 o’clock the annual high school play, “The Wren,” was presented, and the attendance was more than could be accommodated. The class fund was increased by $93, and would have easily run to more than $100 had the auditorium been large enough. Mrs. Malaprops, of ancient fame, used to say that “Comparisons are odorous.” In cases of this kind, where each one tried to do his or her best, and all presented their parts so well, it is not for a mere onlooker to criti cize or praise unduly; let that rest on the judges, maybe. The whole reflects credit on the pupils and teachers, and has certainly been thoroughly enjoyed by the Vass(t) crowds who have been present at the various exercises. THE AUTO OUTPUT At the rate motor cars are being turned out in this country it looks like it won’t be long until every per son who has ithe slightest wish for one will have that wish gratified. Dur ing the month of March, according to figures just made public, 300,000 cars and trucks were sold. If this record keeps up there will be pur chased for the first quarter of the year 1923 no less than 816,772 cars and trucks, as compared with 386,195 during a similar period last year. Some enthusiastic follower of the auto business has stated that by 1923 there will be no less than 24,000,000 autos in this country. We are rapid ly getting to be a nation that travels on pneumatic tires. Already we have more motor cars than any half-dozen other nations in the world combined and we haven’t even approached the point where we can linger in the be lief that we have reached somewhere near the climax of production and sale. We recently heard a woman claim ing that her sex is smarter than the men. Maybe. But you never heard of a man ordering a shirt that he had to button up the back. Radcliffe Chautauqua A CANVAS COVERED TEMPLE OF JOY AND INSPIRATION VASS, 3d, 4tll., 3til. MAY Come Come EVERYBODY JACKSON SPRINGS NEWS (L. T. Graham) The local and West End highs' game of baseball here Thursday af ternoon resulted in a 17 to 3 score for the locals. Woodley on the mound for the locals, struck out 18 men. He should not have been scored upon, but he aided the tallies for the visitors by issuing two free passes, throwing a weak one to firse base, and another to the catcher letting a man score. Ralph Coxe for the visitors did not pitch as he did last season, or the lo cals have developed into a batting ma chine. Things look very prosperous as to a large crowd here this summer, if appearance has anything to do with a crowd. Carpenters are busy repair ing and painters adding a fresh coat. The groves have changed colors as well as the several buildings. The leaves are “puttin’ out,” and the grass and small grain sown a few weeks ago are up, adding much to the beauty of the rolling land that nature has made beautiful. The force at work on the grounds has been increased; shrubbery has been pruned and new shrubbery set, and another set of hands is now regrading the roads. As soon as the work can be completed near the hotel and spring, a small dam will be built on the mineral branch below the spring to add to the looks of thin^; a force will push out from the village and begin to build more roads, and clear more land. Mineral Springs towship walked away with more than their share of points in the county commencement events at Carthage on Friday, but the locals were not strong contenders as the interest was aroused too late. However, of the three girls, two won prizes:—Miss Mary Bruton, the. prize as the best story teller in high school; and Miss Glenn Melnnis for the best Palmer writing. Miss Vysta Wood ley pulled through the township and county elimination contests for recita tion and was among the three girls to recite. We believe honors' should be divided among the schools over the county. The children must be trained to win honors, and it is up to the teachers to co-operate with the county superintendent and make the commencement a greater success nxt year. “The Wren,” a play of five acts, was presented to a large crowd by the junior class in the high school au ditorium on Friday evening. This was one of the best plays ever given by high school students here; each character was suited for the part they played and filled the places like vet erans. Miss Maude Poole of Raeford, directed the training. The stork paid two visits near here last week. One to Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Meacheam and another to Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Bennett. A. C. Carter and sons, Colton and Clayton, and Miss Eva, spent the week-end with relatives in Albemarle. A prominent man here plans to go before Governor Morrison armed with affidavits of ex-convicts of Stanley county to seek pardons for Will Mc- Master, Monroe and Carl Luck, white men convicted oh prohibition charges at the Moore special term of superior court in 1922, held by Judge W. F. Harding. He was liberal with road sentences and did not realize how much good he was going to do one of the best communities in the state. It caused a stampede along with the strong sentiment against such law lessness, and in that area in Moore, Montgomery and Richmond counties infested with blockade stills, raids have been scarce since August court. One of the men grew so unpopular in (Continued on page 7)
