For School Equipment
Makes $4,620 Available for

nomics Courses
Comings and Goings in Vass
Of especial Interest to patrons of
the several schools concerned will be
the action of the County Commission
ers at their regular meeting Monday
In ordering the transfer of $4,620
from the current expense allottnjent
for vocational education to the capi
tal outlay instructional apparatus and
equipment fund to be apportioned as
follows: Hemp, ?800; Vass-Lakevlew
$800; Eureka, $500; Aberdeen, $1,-
000; West End, $900; Carthage, $620.
Some of these schools, on account;
of lack of equipment, were unable
this year to add an agriculture de
partment or a home economics de
partment, and this order will make
it possible for them to procure equip
ment during this year and be ready
to make these important branches of
study available at the 1938 fall term.
The Board voted to recommend
that the State take over for mainte
nance the following roads;
One leading from Cameron-Raeford
Road at John Johnson place going
westward to the county highway
near the Tom Medlin place, a distance
of three-fourths of a mile. This road
is used for a mail route and should
be used as a school bus route, it Is
said.
The road leading from Clay Pur
vis’ to Beulah Church, this being a
school bus route and church road.
The Improvement of this road would
mean a saving of three miles travel
each day for school buses, the peti
tioners set forth.
A stretch beginning at a point on
the old Plank Road, going by the
places of Gilbert McDonald, J. Smith,
Gaddy and others to Cameron-Spout
Springs road near Herbert Page's.
This road is In Greenwood township
and extends about one and one-half
miles.
About three-fourths niile in Ritter’s
township beginning at Charlie Phil
lips’ place on the Glendon-Putnam
road and running to the Herbert Ma-
ness place.

ed the following; Vance Armstrong

ing care of Rufus Armstrong; San
dy Lee Benson was accepted at the
County Home for a prison term of
four months; Mary McNeill was al
lowed $3 per month; Beer license

IS it good business to spend millions
more for costlier tobaccos? Well, the
fact that Camels are the largest-selling ciga
rette shows that men and women do find
something choice—something different
ia Camels. Camels are a matchless blend of
finer, MORE EXPENSIVE TOBACCOS-
Tiukish and Domestic.

Quite a bit of thievery has been
taking place in the county during
the past few days and officers are
working hard to apprehend the guil
ty parties.
Last week 750 pounds of tobacco
was stolen from a Mr, Wood who
lives near Old Union Church. Mr.
Wood went out one morning to load
the tobacco, which had been graded,
to haul it to market, and not a leaf
of the lot was there,
A cow belonging to Mrs, Laura
Rogers of near Cameron was missing
a few days ago and a search through
the countryside proved fruitless. It
is believed that the cow was haulel
away by truck, and officers made a
trip to Greensboro Tuesday to follow
up a clue.
J. M. Tyson of Vass had around
20 chickens stolen* from his poultry
house last Friday night, and it has
been unofficially reported that Mrs.
Mack Cameron’s cow was stolen re
cently from her farm out from Cam
eron.
