Returns to His Newspaper
Capus M. Waynick, North Carolina
director of the Federal Reemployment
service here for 16 months, has re
signed to return to his work as edi
tor of the High Point Enterprise,
from which he had leave of absence,
and the reemployment work will be
merped into the office of Commis
sioner of Labor A. L. Fletcher. Mrs.
May T. Evans, High Point, and Wil
liam F. George, Fayetteville, who
have been division supervisors from
the beginning, and ,S F. Campbell,
statistician most of the time, will re
main in the administration of the
work under Major Fletcher. The orig
inal plan of the federal service was
that it be merged with the State la
bor department after the emergency
had cleared up.
Mr. Waynick, who was senator rep
resenting the Gullford-Rockingham
district in the 1933 General Assem-
bly, was defeated in the Democratic
primary In June for renomlnatlon by
Dr. J. T. Burrus, after a hard cam
paign. Mr. Waynick has been men
tioned for the post of chairman of the
State Highway and Public Works
Commission, if that place becomes
vacant due to the continued serious
illness of Chairman E. B. Jeffress.
Bank Deposits Gain
Bank deposits in North Carolina
national and State banks have shown
a remarkable increase in the past
few months and at the same time
there has been an increase, though
not as marked, in the loans made
by banks, Paul P. Brown, secretary
of the N. C. Bankers Association,
says In a statement Issued. Estimat
ed deposits in the commercial banks
of the state at the date of the last
call, October 17, are $300,000,000, as
compared with $181,844,000 Juue 30,
1933, and deposits of $239,057,000
June 30, 1934, Mr. Brown states.
Rural Eleotrification
The problem now in electrifying
rural North Carolina is trat of fi
nancing the community projects, Dav
id S. Weaver, of State College, who
had charge of the survey made up by
the Governor’s committee with ERA
funds, states. The funds have been
used up and the next step is uncer.
tain, he said. The 800 communities
will require about $11,000,000 to erect
8,000 miles of transmission lines to
the 34,000 homt-s, wiring these and
installing other applicances. Weaver
said. The purpose of the committee
was to ascertain where lines would be
practical and aid with suggestions in
the method of securing connections
with nearby towns or other power
lines, and not to furnish power.
Some communities will be able to fi
nance the projects and use power
enough to justify power companies in
extending their lines to these com
munities. How other communities will
find means of completing electrifica
tion Is a problem yet to be solved,
Weaver said.
Mr. Jeffress’ Condition
Chairman E. B. Jeffress, of the
State Highway and Public Works
Commission, is reported to be hold
ing the gains he made in recovery at
his home in Greensboro, following a
brain operation In Richmond some
three months ago. His color and res
piration are reported good. It is be
lieved he Is conscious of what Is go
ing on around him. His condition Is
still considered serious.
Poker 1‘layer \\anted
Wanted; A poker player. That is
the kind of request that came to the
Federal Reemployment Service re
cently, retiring director Capus M.
Waynick reports. The request came
from an eating place, a road house,
way up in the western North Caro
lina mountains. The operator has been
supplied with waitresses by the ser
vice and was pleased with them. Now
he wanted a poker player, an hon
est and honorable white man, able
to hold his own, to play for the
“House" and direct the game. Di
rector Waynick said he could not
supply the man, that he had known
r.n excellent negro “crap shooter,"
but that he was now helping the
State to build roads.
Freed in Kidnapping Ca.<M;
The Rev. R. H. Askew, Goldsboro,
young "Four Square” gospel evange
list, was acquitted in Federal court
here last week of a government
charge of using mails, telegraph and
telephone to collect $20,000 ransom
money in a kidnapping hoax he per
petrated last August. He had disap
peared and written letters to his wife,
demanding the money in payment
for his return. Judge I. M. Meekins
dismissed the case after the jury had
found him not guilty. It was shown
that there were cases of insanity in
his family and that he had suffered
mental disorders, once while in the
U. S. Navy. His wife, much older than
he is, was with him during the trial.

All telephone calls are not alike. Have you ever given thought to the
fact that the variation in numbers called, the different distance covered
by each conversation and the other factors involved, mean that every
telephone call is "made to order?"
The complex nature of this service demands that we be able to connect
you with the party to whom you desire to talk, whether that party be a
nearby neighbor or a far-distant business establishment.
We are glad to show you the operations of the Telephone Company
plant and explain to you the mechanisms which make possible such a
diversified service. Why not visit your Telephone Company and see
how it is done. You will be welcome. i
If you are not making use of the telephone, may we suggest that you
visit our Commercial Office and learn how easy it Is to obtain one?.
