R. C. Zimmerman, principal of the
Aberdeen schools, thinks it is entirely
a matter for the taxpayers of Moore
county to determine whether they can
afford it or not, speaking of the pro
posed bond issue for new buildings be
fore Kiw'anis Club members on Wed
nesday, but holds that new buildings
or no new buildings, teachers of
North Carolina should be paid more
money. With the average salary over
the state only $45.08, less than that
paid a junior guard in a convict camp,
how can we look for proper education
for our children, no matter in how
expensive buildings they are taught,
Mr. Zimmerman asks. “Our children
are worth better teachers than we
can give them at such salaries,” he
said, adding ‘‘as general conditions
improve in other lines, we are go
ing to lose those good instructors we
have and get inferior ones.”
Mr. Zimmerman cited figures to
show that it would be economy in the
state to run the schools for nine
months, stating that records have re
vealed that one in three pupils have
to be retaught in eight months
schools, whereas in the nine months
schools the record is sufficiently bet-
ter to offset this reteaching expen.~e.
Paul Dana. Kiwanis Club treasur
er, announced at the meeting the re
ceipt of a check from Judge William
A. Way in the amount of $40.75, mon
ey taken in from sightseers at the
Carolina Orchid Greenhouses last
winter season for the Kiwanis relief
fund. The club passed a resolution
of thanks to Judge Way. Mr. Dana
also announced that the fund for the
support of a bed in the cfiildren’s
ward of the Moore County Hospital
had been raised and a check for $365
sent to the hospital for another
year. This is an annual club activity,
the raising of funds for this bed.
Next week’s meeting of the club
will be held in Carthage, with L. V.
O’Callaghan of Southern Pines in
charge of the program.

The following comments from the
audited report of the accountants are
of interest;
$40,146 Defk-ienoy
I “The tax yield for 1932 decreased
I $12,865.31 due principally to a de-
I creased valuation and a decrease in
the tax rate.”
“Expenditures were maintained sub-
! stantially within the budgets. How
ever, deficits are reflected in some
funds due to the decline in the tax
yields.”
“Sinking fund surplus is short of
requirements in both the courthouse
and highway bond funds. This condi
tion however, is not such but what
remedies cannot be effected without
an undue burden before the matur
ity of the term bonds.”
“The combine? financial position of
the county reflects a deficiency of
$40,146.43, caused principally by the
deficiency in the sinking fund re
quirements.”
A further item which taxpayers of
the county should taite into consid
eration before passing judgment on
the proposed increase of nearly one
quarter of a million dollars in county
indebtedness is this; There were
some 2,500 names on the last list
of property owners of the county ad
vertised for non-payment of taxes,
nearly 10 percent of the population
of the county, around 50 percent of
the number of taxpayers in the coun
ty-

a—
Lilting romance and uproarious
comedy amid the gay American col
ony in Paris comes to the Southern
Pines Theatre Monday, Tuesday and
W'edneaday, August 13, 14, 15, with
a Tuesday matinee, in “Paris Inter
lude.” based on the New York stage
hit, “All Good Americans.’ Dealing
with Paris at the time of the arrival
of Lindbergh, the plot follows the
fortunes of a group of new’spaper cor.
espondents, a girl tfashion writer
•'.nd other expatriates in the festive
'rcnch capital.
One of the spectacular details ot
the new picture is a great fashion
show, with beautiful mannequins dis
playing the latest finery in a replica
of a famous Parisian salon. Another
is the huge masquerade ball given by
the artists in the Latin Quarter. The
tamoius American bar and other
haunts of tourists also figure in the
engaging blend of comedy and ro
mance. Madge Evans plays the her
oine, as the American tourist who,
jilted and stranded in Paris, wins her
I way to fame as a fashion writer. Otto
[ Kruger p!*<ys the philandering news-
I gatherer, and Robert Young the
faithful friend with whom the her-
I oine eventually finds happiness. Una
! Merkel is the comedy foil to the her-
! oine, as a fast-talking and cynical il-
I Ufitrater. The comedy episodes, which
ivm all through the picture, are in
' the hands of Ted Healy as the
I American bartender, Edward Brophy
I as the blundering newspaper reporter,
j and Bert Roach as the perpetual in-
i ebriate.
I
I The landing of Lindbergh at Le
i Bourget Field is shown at the sensa
tional opening of the picture and fol
lowing this the plot develops at a
rapid rate.
“The Girl From Missouri,” the Met-
ro-Goldwyn.Mayer picture, which is
the attraction Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, August 16, 17, 18, with
1 Saturday matinee, brings Jean Har
low back to the screen after an ab
sence of eight months. In her new
starring vehicle the popular Miss Har
low e.ssays one of her most amusing
•haracterizations, that of Eadie Chap
man, a girl who embarks upon a so
cial-climbing career because she is
determined to get financial security
and position along with her marriage
ring. The picture flits with ligh'Tning
rapidity from swanky penthouses of
New York’s ragged skyline to the
pleasure palaces of Florida and back
again. Lionel Barrymore, dean of the
stage and screen, shares honors with
Miss Harlow in the role of the exceed
ingly wealthy T. R. Paige, a nation-
il political power. Franchot Tone,
too, makes his second appearance
.ith Miss Harlow as the son of Bar
rymore who falls madly in love with
Kadie.

.\LLOW FREE PASSAGE OF
WEED BETWEEN ST.ATES
Governor Blackwood says state
highway officials and his office have
found a clause in a state motor trans
port act allowing the free passage
of tobacco in trucks between North
Carolina and South Carolina.
A delegation from Mullins and ad
jacent tobacco markets asked the
governor at a conference if the law
precluded South Carolina growers
from hauling their late weed crops to
I the North Carolina markets, which
! open later, and whether the North
Carolinians could legally bring tobac-
co to South Carolina markets.
The governor said he went over
the situation with the delegation;
Charles H. Moorfield, state highway
engineer: and B. F. Stroup, dlfector
of the motor vehicle division, and
found the law specifically exempted
“agricultural products” from ifS re
strictive provisions.
