PRINCETON, Feb. 18.—"If Gov.
Gardner can arouse the interest
and spirit of the people to the ex
tent that Iney will carry to a
successful conclusion this live-at

farmer of Boon Hill township who
addressed the Princeton school
during chapel exercises Thursday
morning of last week, "he will
have helped a greater number of
people who actually need help
than any governor of North Car
olina in a long time.”
The Princeton school observed
the live-at-home program out
lined for the schools of the state
in a splendid way. Pupils entered
into the essay and poster con
tests enthusiastically and a radio
installed especially for the pur
pose. brought to the school the
live-at-home radio programs each
morning. Perhaps the high peak
of the week’s program was reach
ed in the chapel exercises Thurs
da morning when Mr. Holt ad
dressed the school and others on
"The Financial Side of the Live

The text of Mr. Holt's talk is
as follows:

SENIORS FEASTED
BY KIWANIS CLUB
I Hear Judge Thos. L. Johnson
Speak on “Our Heritage”
at Luncheon at School
• Huilding
The members of the Senior
class were entertained by the
Smithfield Kiwanis club at yes
terday's luncheon at the high
school building. The program
was suggestive of the anniversary
of George Washington and the
guests found their places by at
tractive hatchet placecards bear
ing a bunch of cherries painted
by Miss Ruth Rose, high school
pupil, arranged so that the mem
bers of the class alternated with
the Kiwanians. An attractive
three course luncheon was fol
lowed by a short, snappy pro
I gram by the Seniors, including
j appropriate songs, readings, and
the George Washington episode
with the cherry tree. Albert Stal
lings and Ellen Broadhurst, pres
ident and secretary, respectively,
expressed the delight of the class
for this favorable indulgence and
fellowship.
iNunmin onepara, president ol
the club, at this time introduced
Hon. N. A. Sinclair, who is pre
siding over this term of court,
and he in turn introduced Judge
Thomas L. Johnson of Lumber
ton, who addressed the audience
on the subject of "Our Heritage.”
He paid tribute to pur first pres
ident and explained at some
length the manner in which he
directed the policies of our coun
try during the early days of our
Constitution, and declared that
more has been accomplished dur
ing the last fifty years under the
principles of the Constitution
than in all the past millenniums
combined. He referred to science
and its chief branches—electric
ity, medicine, and voice transmis
sion, and other forms of recent
achievement, and declared this a
wonderful country, in a wonder
ful age.
Turning to the chief danger to
the American people he decried
the lack of law enforcement, and
deplored the gains that Com
munism, Leninism, and Bolshe
vism appear to be making, not
only in this country, but in this
state. The speaker declared most
emphatically that we have no
place for such destructive organ
izations under our constitution,
and reiterated that they not
only stand for a doctrine that
denies the existence of a Su
preme Being but they preach and
teach this nefarious doctrine.
•Remember now thy Creator in
the days of thy youth." the
words of Solomon, was the clos
ing admonition to the Senior
class.
The members of the Senior
class present were: Albert Stal
lings, president; Staton Boyette,
vice-president; Ellen Broadhurst,
secretary and treasurer; Nell
Broadhurst. Vera Clifton, Eliz
abeth Coates, Pearl Creech, Alice

N. C. Shuford. superintendent
of the school, and Miss Maude
Creech, sponsor of the class, were
also present.
War on Chain Stores.
During recent weeks there has
been much discussion pro and
con of chain stores. An anti
chain store movement has been
gaining emphasis for some time
under the leadership W. K. Hen
derson of radio station KWKH.
Shreveport, La. The move has hit
North Carolina and in a number
of towns organizations have been
formed for war on chain stores.
The chain stores have not been
[asleep in the matter and in vari
j ous ways have been presenting
their own cause to the public.
Tile clash bids fair to become a
jreal fight. In the meantime, the
chain stores are getting a lot of
publicity that they are not hav
jing to pay for.
