SCHOOL REPAIRS ‘"
County Education Board
Asks Appropriation
FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY
I At a meeting of the County Board
' of Education held cn Friday, the foi-
I lowing resolutions were adopted;
i “Whereas, many school buildings in
I Moore county are in need of immed-
j iatc repaii', and whereas the furni-
! ture, equipment, interior walls, floors,
j etc., of these much neglected build
ings are rapidly deteriorating as a re-
j suit of leaky roofs and open windows,
j and whereas the health and physical
I safety of the children in these schools
are in grave danger because of Un-
.sanitary toilet facilities, falling plas
ter, draughts, low temperatures,
damp furniture and floors, and
, whereas s:und economy and the best
‘ current business practice demand a
far seeing and continuous program
of school property repair and replace
ment, and wheieas the 1935-36 appro
priation for school house repair was
far ina«iequate and is already ex
hausted in the middle of the fiscal
year; now therefore, be it resolved;
“1. That the Moore County Board
vf Education respectfully requests
that the Board of County Commis
sioners of Moore County immediately
maka available not less than $3,000
in excess of the regular school repair
budget for 1935-36 in order to meet
the most urgent repair necessities
during the remainder of the present
school year.
"2. That in order to properly con
serve and protect the county's in
vestment in school property, it will
be necessary to appropriate not less
chan $10,000 for 1 per cent of its ap
praised value each year in the future
lor general school property repair and
upkeep, and that said $10,000 should
be included in the May budget for
1936^37,"

of the spectaled comedian in his tim
id progress from the uneventful life
of a milkman to the pulsing career
of a middlew’eight fight champion.
There is a gorgeously gocfy idea in
this picture. The hilarity is unabat
ed. Lloyd is cast as a poor sap of a
milk-man, an obscure fellow scared
of his own shadow. He is always
skipping out of trouble. When a
drunken fight champion takes a
swing at the milkman, an adept at
ducking, and knocks himself out (how
it happens is the funniest thing that
has been seen in many a moon(, the I
milk-bottle boy takes the credit for |
the victory and is launched as a
contend: r for the middleweight
'hampionship. Once the milkman wins
.’onfidence in himself, he challenges
my fighter to hit him. and keep duck
ing with both hands in h>s pocket.
.\dolphe Menjoe does a particularly
fin3 piece of acting as the fighter ,
promoter who takes the milkman in
hand, and makes a pugilist-dancer j
out of him. Also of special interest '
to Pinehurst is the short subject. |

contains many scenes taken in Pine-;

•The Milky Way" is also playing a
return engagement at the Southern
Pines Theatre. Thursday, Friday. Sat- ,

Saturday matinee. As an added at-,

Oldsters may wonder at the dispar
ity between the original Balfe opera
and the screen version but they will
enjoy the modern film story no less ^
because of its more hilarious treat
ment. Then, too, their misgivings will
be appeased by the fact that most of
the entrancing music of the century |
old opera has been retained in the
screen names. The new-comer is Har
riet Hilliard, erstwhile radio per
former who, with Astaire, Rogers and
Randolph Scott, is the center of ac
tion and interest.

Ann Harding, who has come to the
screen in such literary or stage clas
sics as “Peter Ibbetson,” “Enchanted
April," and “The Fountain,” has set
a new course with :“The Lady Con
sents,’’ playing a return engagement
at the Southern Pines Theatre Mon
day, Tuesday, W'edne.sday, February
17, 18, 19, with a Tuesday matinee.
“The Lady Consents” is the second
screen alliance of Miss Harding and
the popular Engli.sh Actor, Herbert
Mai shall. Understood to be prepon-
derately sophisticated comedy high
lighted with serious drama, the pic
ture presents both players at their
most entertaining. Marshall appears
as a yovmg society doctor and Miss
Harding as the wife who lets him slip
through her fingers. Margaret Lind
say plays the oth r woman and Wal
ter Abel is in another supporting role.

portation.

spon.se anticipated, others will be
held at regular intervals during the
balance of the sea.son.
