Paul V. McNutt To Speak at Jackson
Day Dinner in Raleigh January 8th
John n. Larkins. Jr., state di
rertor of the current Jackson
Day Campaign, announces that
Paul V. McNutt has been invited
to speak at the Jackson Day Din
ner in Raleigh on January 8th.
Mr McNutt is recognized as
one of the leading candidates for
the Democratic presidential no
mination next year. A former
governor of Indiana, a former
national commander of the Ame
rican Legion and former Com
missioner of the Phillipines, Mr.
McNutt was greatly in demand
for such engagements as this even
without the added z.cst of his po
tential candidacy.
Governor McNutt is one of the
handsomest men in American
public life, and Director John
Larkins, who is no slouch among
the ladies himself, expects the
presence of the ruddy-faced In
dianan to add much charm to the
dinner by boosting attendance of
the women-folks. Heretofore the
Jackson Dinner guests have been
predominantly male; but let the
old man try to argue the wife and
daughter out of coming to this
one!
Besides the McNutt speech, the
program will include presentation
of a trophy to Rutherford county
for being the first to reach its
quota, and another trophy to the
county reporting the largest per
centage over the amount of
quota assigned to it.
Early fears that the Hatch Act
might bar federal employees
from attending have been entire
ly dissipated by official ruling
that any person, except those
drawing compensation from re
lief funds, might contribute to
the party war chest and attend
party rallies.
Abolition of Rainy
Day Schedules Now
UnderConsideration
-O
School Board Postpones Ac
tion on Matter Until
After Holidays
-o——
Action on the proposal to discon
tinue the observance of a reduced'
schedule on rainy days, which has
been the custom in Plymouth for
years, will be taken after the Christ
mas holidays, it was decided by the
local school board in session here Fri
day night.
Meantime .the officials decided to
secure information from the statutes
in regard to the number of hours
that are required for instruction dur
ing a school day and to get the
opinion of State officials as to what
constitutes an emergency that would
necessitate shorter schedules.
Torn between the fact that they
are anxious to provide the time es
sential for teaching and properly in
structing the pupils and the physical
defects of the plant for keeping child
ren indoors in inclement weather, the
officials do not know what to do.
However. Frank L. Brinkley and
Dr. E A. Harper, school committee
men. will determine what action to
take in the matter as soon as they
ascertain what the law requires in
the case of any disadvantage of the

Road From Wenona
To Roper Over Old
Railroad Suggested
Believe Project Would Cost
Little and Be of Much
Service
-o
Efforts are being made to get the
State Highway and Public Works
Commission to build a vehicular road
on the old railway roadbed leading
from Roper to the Wenona section,
which would reduce the distance be
tween the two points by 15 miles.
Proponents of the plan, including
Barton Swain, Roper merchant, are
of the opinion that the proposed road
would also materially reduce the dis
tance from southern points to the
Albemarle Sound bridge and will turn
many additional travelers through
Roper
The distance from Roper to We
nona over the old railroad route is
only 8 miles, as compared with 23
miles from Wonona to Roper by
Highway No. 97, through Plymouth.
A number of years ago the Norfolk
Southern operated trains oxer this
route by a branch from Mackeys
through Roper and Wenona to New
Holland, but this was discontinued
several years ago and the track has
been removed, leaving the roadbed as
a foundation for the proposed new
highway. It is believed it could be
developed by WPA labor into a ve
hicular road at very little expense.
It is hoped by those promoting the
plan that Belhaven officials will
adopt the proposed route, and it is
possible that if this road was ever
surfaced, it would route considerable
traffic away from Plymouth.
However, it is not believed there is
much chance for this, as it appears
that the Stale Highway Commissioxr
is committed to a plan to surface the
turnpike road to connect with High
way No. 97. turning the people from
that section into Plymouth and if
Route 97 is eventually made a part
of U. S. Highway 17 there will still
be plenty o ftraffic on the highway
through Plymouth.
Saturday Will Be
Consecration Day
Rev. N. A. TAYLOR. Pastor
Saturday at the Christian church
will be known as "Consecration Day,"
a day when every member will be
asked to visit the church and pledge
his or her support and loyalty to
Christ’s church.
In previous years an every-mem
ber canvass was made, but this year i
the church board decided that if the |
pledge was brought to God's altar. I
it would be more acceptable.
A committee will be at the church I
from 7 a. m. to 8 p. m. to serve and I
assist those attending.
Sunday services are as usual, with
the exception of the night service,
which wil Ibe held in union with oth
er churches at the high school.
