ESTABLISHED 1889 STATE MAGAZINE RUNS ARTICLE IN PRAISE BAILEY Raleigh Newspaperman Is Very Complimentary to County Man -— Carl Leroy Bailey, of Roper, is ex pected in a few days to announce hi; candidacy for the State Senate frorr this district. A full page write-up ol Mr. Bailey appeared in the March 24th issue of the State magazine giv ing inside data on his activities at the last session of the general assembly. The sketch was written by Wade H. Lucas, Raleigh newsman, who "covered" the legislature last session for a State newspaper. The Beacon is reproducing it here just as it ap peared in the State magazine. It gives Mr. Bailey a well deserved boost for his activities in the capital. Senator Bailey has not been con sulted by the Beacon management and he does not know his home pap r is carrying the item: “When in future years the his torians set out to chronicle the his tory of the school battles that were waged during the session of the 1933 General Assembly they cannot ignore the part played in those hectic fights by Senator Carl Leroy Bailey, of Washington County. “Generally speaking, the credit for the State's taking over lock, stock and barrel of the public school sys tem and agreeing to run the schools not only the required six months un der the constitution, but eight months as well, is given Senator Angus Dhu McLean, of Beaufort, but many ol those who witnessed the school fight will not hesitate to saj- the Senator from Washington County played a large part in helping Mr. McLean hoist high the flag of victory. “Public school teachers meeting in Raleigh this week-end in their an nual convention have doubtless heard much about Senator Bailey. He was a friend to them during the 1933 General Assembly and if he cames back to the 1935 legislature he'may have another card or so to play in their behalf. “Senator McLean is now holding down an important position in Wash ington, D. C., and he will not be back for the 1935 session, and who knows but that the large Senator from \Y ashington may take up the mantle dropped by McLean and carry it forward next year. “Although he had served in the 1925 House, the vast majority of the people of North Carolina had doubt less never heard of Carl Leroy Bailey before he entered the 1933 Senate, but before that session was half over the friends of the public schools knew that when one uttered the name of Senator Bailey it was not taken for granted that that person was talking of Josiah William Bailey. “Few of those serving their first terms in the senate cut any legisla tive ice to speak of unless they, like Senator McLean, Senator Robert M. Hanes or others, have won their legis lative spurs in the House. But the hefty Washington Senator was one of the -exceptions to this rule. Mr. McLean must have known that Mr. Bailey had somew'hat of the bulldog spirit in him and that once he took hold of something he would not let go in a hurry. 'through all the firing during the school battles Carl Bailey held on and refused to budge. It is not every legislator who will start out to reach an objective and keep going in the face of the terrific barrages that are some times laid down in the paths they must travel. “Carl Bailey’s voice has the sound like unto that of rolling thunder. I seriously doubt that he ever turned his vocal organs on full strength and if he bad he might have seriously impaired the walls and roof of the senate chamber by the noise that he would have made. “For a freshman senator, he spoke more than a senate newcomer usual ly speaks, but be it said to his credit that he seldom if ever got up to speak on a subject without being able to convince his fellow members he know, what he was talking about. “Certainlj, this statement is true on all legislation pertaining to the schools, for he was informed on school legislation. Only 35 years of' age when he entered the Senate tOj become first lieutenant to “Captain” McLean, the big man from Washing ton was most active in helping front the blocs that helped precipitate pas-j sage of the State supported eight months school bill to which he put his name along with that of Senator McLean. “Early in March, 1933, when the House of Representatives was yell ing in a loud voice that the State could not support an eight months school Senators Bailey and McLean sawed legislative wood and kept on their plans.

JUNIORS SENIORS HOLD BANQUET IN ROPER SCHOOL Over 50 Guests Attend An nual Event Friday Night Roper,—That modern major a chievements of public school students include skill in committing minor in fringements of the campus was the revelation made in a speech here last Friday evening by E. X. Riddle at the annual junior-senior banquet of the Roper High School. Principal Riddle who has had many years of experience in this work told the students that unless they had learned to chew gum gracefully and without opening the lips and had had some experience in the art of writing and slipping love letters to each other that their education was not com plete. Furthermore lie recalled that some of the students were proficient in cheating themselves by copying ex amination papers or securing help, and that some were especially irritable to their teachers and that some even would stoop so low as to steal each other's lunches. Of course, this line of his speech used as an introduction kept ,the boys and girls in hilarity as they e mitted series after series of loud laughs. Following this Mr. Riddle turned to the more serious things in school life and gave the students some timely and worthy advice. Miss Rennette Snell served as toastmistress and made the welcome address. Miss Marie Spruill gave the toast to the seniors while Hal let Everett responded. Miss Lala R. Chesson toasted the visitors with Mrs. L. S/ Brey responding. Miss Mar garet Chesson sang. A toast to the school was given by Miss Margaret Windley with E. N. Riddle, principal of the school, responding with a short talk. Miss Virginia Gibson danced to the tune of “Sidewalks of New York", and her Vister, Miss Catherine, gave a humoresque darie. Miss Julia Gib son played for than. Waitresses did . me ballet dancing with Shep Brinkley providing the piano accompaniment. Names of the waitresses who served as well as danc ed were Misses Sarah Frances Leary, Lala Bell Davenport, Olive May \\ indley, Lindell Lewis, Carolyn Spruill, Edna Davenport, Virginia Ainsley and Mildred Phelps. The menu consisted of four courses starting with /fruit) cocktail, then chicken salad, pickles, saltines and potato chips and iced tea, with a des sert of cake and ice cream followed with demi-tasse. The parent-teach ers association of Roper prepared the repast while the waitresses came from the under-graduate classes. The tables were arranged to serve; 5(1 or more guests beneath a canopy! of assorted colored streamers. On the sides of the rooms were pine branches cleverly arranged inter spersed with roses. Potted plants were parked in the corners and other appropriated places. Each place was decorated with pro grams arranged in heart-shaped and brown folded wrappers. Favors were duck-shaped balloons and chicks drawing little carts in which were mints. Assorted colored napkins were at the places. Amid this splen dor candles burned brightly. DISTRICT MEET OF CLUB WOMEN - €> Home Agent Urges Large Representation Next Wednesday -$ By Miss Eugenia Patterson It is hoped that every club will be represented at tlie district meeting in Washington next Wednesday, April 11.

CLUB WOMEN TO STUDY PATTERNS -$ Home Agent Outlines Pro gram To Be Followed at April Meetings -<8> Home demonstration lessons for the month of April will center around patterns, it was announced this week. A good pattern is one of the most dependable assistants in dressmaking. Paper patterns were put on the mar ket less than a century ag", and they gave the users very little help except to provide a cutting line. The mod ern pattern is so closely worked out with explicit directions for each step that an amateur may follow one very easily if she will only read, study and follow the directions provided by the manufacturers. Experimenting takes time and is often expensive. There is economy in a good pat tern. Economy of time because a standard commercial pattern is ac curate in measurements and propor tions, and using it carefully will save time in fitting. A good pattern is a money saver because if you have one good foundation pattern that fits, most of the garments needed may be made from it. A few well chosen patterns kept in a convenient place are a help anti also time savers to the family seams tress. Discard odd patterns as they become out of date. The women who hoards her patterns from year to year gets an accumulations on her hands which she usually had to search through every time she wishes a par ticular pattern. A large 9 hy 12 en velope is an excellent protection for a new pattern. Split open the pattern envelope, thus keeping all pictures and instructions. It is much easier to fold the paper pattern and return it to this large envelope than it is to get it hack in the original one. The home demonstration club wo men of Washington County are to study patterns this month. It is hop-, ed that every club woman wdl attend her club meeting this month, and get the most help from the lesson. A good pattern that fits acts as a stimu lant to a woman’s imagination. There is a real pleasure in creating a lovely garment on which one expresses one’s own personality. Come and see if you will not get help in making and fitting that new spring dress.

Dar den Painfully Hurt in Gas Boat Blaze Reports today from the homes of C. L. Groves, general manager, and A. T. Darden, foreman of the saw mill department of the National Han dle Company here, were to the effect that both of the men, who suffered burns in a blaze that threatened the building containing vessels of the firm, were gradually recovering. Due to quick work on the part oi Mr. Grove:- and Mr. Darden, wlic were on the True Temper, a light cruiser vessel, when it burst into flames in the boathouse, little or no damage was done to the building as they opened the gates and shoved the burning craft out into the river A-ide from his duties as foreman, Mr. Darden also serves as mechanic for the National Handle Co., and he with Mr. Groves, was addidng final touches to the repairing of the ves sel so as to deliver it on Wednesday of this week to a purchaser. Mr. Darden was down in the hatch at the front end near the engine, when for some cause the engine back-fired and fumes from escaping gas a'dded to the hazard. Immediately it burst into flames, destroying the top of the cruiser and also burning parts of the cabin. When the blaze started, Mr. Groves stepped off of the vessel and began to open nearby gates to shove the boat out into the river away from the house and Mr. Darden was forced to come through the blaze from the hatch. Mr. Groves suffered severe burns about the hands and face and so did Mr. Darden. They were brought to the office of Dr. T. L. Bray, who ren dered medical attention at once. Miss Ethel Arps, a clerk, drove the car. 1 hey were delayed in arriving at the doctor’s office as the fire truck and other vehicles met them going to the fire. Mr. Groves .--pent a very good night Monday, but Mr. Darden suffered some. Mr. Darden was burned more severely than Mr. Groves, according to Dr. Bray. The True Temper had been idle in the boathouse for some time. When the company secured a buyer, Mr. Darden had been working on it at odd times to get it in condition. Mr. Groves was going to accompany Mr. Darden on a trial spin up to the fish ery. The vessel cost .$2,500 originally, but the price to the purchaser was to be much less and the damage is fig ured at about $300. Despite threats of burning tne boat house, no fear was felt for the plant itself, as the boathouse was about 30 yards from the shop near by and these two buildings were about 75 yards from the main part of the plant. Firemen arrived in time to Control the spread of the blaze and prevented the boathouse from catching. -» Name of Pecan Grove Dairy Is Changed A change in the name of the Pecan Grove Dairy to the Springwood Dairy was announced here this week by Rev. R. H. Lucas, manager and own er of the enterprise. Mr. Lucas announced that the change was effective at once and that the move was taken because in a search of the records and history of the Lucas plantation on which the1 dairy is located that it was referred to in old documents as the Spring wood Farm. 1 he Springwood name came fromj the fact that the section out that way i.s now called Cool Springs and has1 been for many years. The name of! the farm was taken from the spring and the woods that used to he about, the spring. In olden days ii was u| kind of resort.

Nor man, superintendent of public instruc tion. i Other plans of consigning the books to the publisher or to Raleigh met with disapproval, as the education of ficials believed that they should be sent direct to the place for which they are designated and they could he distributed at that point. Distributors will be appointed in each section of the county for han dling the books. This step was tak en by Dr. A. T. Allen, superintendent of the state board of education, at Raleigh, who asked Mr. Norman to take the matter up with his board and determine the plan they favored. However, this plan is not definite for any portion of the state as yet. Under this arrangement, the local board is allowed a percentage on the retail price. The board or the per son who handles the book will be al lowed to charge 10 per cent above the delivered, cost of the books -to them for their actual expense in handling them. I he State Board has ruled that any school not now maintaining an aver age attendance of 65 per cent of the attendance in the previous six months would be closed at once. This applies to colored schools, where the pupils began dropping out and working or stopping school for some other pur pose. Lowest attendance so far in the group in this county was given at 85.9 and the highest at 110.7, Bad roads, inclement weather, and sick ness caused attendance to drop last week but not enough to cause alarm. Most of the schools have better at-j tendance now than during the year. I --- ' I Kenly Minister Holding Series Services at Roper --<$>— — Roper.—Rev. W.

Overcrowding Is Cause Of Cannibalism in Chicks 1 he exact cause of cannibalism in chicks is not known but it is the opinion of good authorities that over crowding and confinement has much ( to do with creating the habit. The I trouble is more likely to occur when early hatched chicks are reared in; confinement. I o combat the vice al-j l°w the chicks a good run in the] open and sec that they are out when twui weather permits. Where tluy are crowded the group should be di vided allowing six square inches of fioor space for each chick. Where] the habit is formed the worst cases] should be destroyed and the others! isolated. --- Three AJew Bulletins Available To Citizens I hree new bulletins are available fin of charge to citizens of North Carolina on application to F.
