ixposition is a reality," Dorton
declares. Why? Because 'it's a
chance for North Carolina to really
have something big, something pro
gressive, and I'm determined to do
everything possible to see that it's
completed."
According to the director, a gov
ernment grant has already been
requested for $40,000 to perfect
I lie plans for the mammoth expo
sition. The money will be refund
ed after the work is completed,
Dorton says.
Although he says the state fair
committee is going ah"ad wit'-
plans to make this year's fair "the
I biggest and best we ve ever had.

he ;i(lds. "but we also have
eyes on the future exposition."
Dorton estimates 'hat it would
take from three to live years to
build the permanent state exposi
tion, one which would be open the
year-round to the public
"It would be more or less like
a museum. " he explains, "where
exhibits ol agriculture, industry,
and such things would be on dis
play for both tourists and North
Carolinians to see. Of course," Ik'
adds, "we could have a period
each year during which the mid
way and shows would add to the
festivities."
The way Dorton sees it. the ex
position would include a memorial
coliseum, amphitheater, exhibit
buildings and other structures, as
well as a hall of fame showing por
traits and brief histories of Tar
Heel heroes who died in World
War Two.
It is believed that the exposition
would come to some three million
dollars. However, Dorton says
many of the exhibit buildings
would be built by industrial con
cerns for use in displaying their
own products.
"The memorial coliseum would
be a self-sustaining proposition,"
Dorton adds. "When not being
used by the state it would be
utilized for spoils events, big name
dance bands, and other attrac
tions."
lie says he has talked with num
erous farmers, agriculture organi
zations and dairymen, and claims
they all are in favor of building
the year-round exposition.
Meanwhile, plans are going
ahead for the annual fair opening
next October 14th, Dorton says.
The grounds and buildings are al
ready being put into shape. The
director can't help reverting to
the slate exposition, which he is
parenting with such enthusiasm.
"Think," he says, no other state
has launched such a permanent
fair."

The Greenaway-Caldecott
Centenary
Today's wealth of colorful pic
ture oooks nau ineir beginning a
century ago when Kate Creen
away and Randolph Caldecott de
voted their great talents to the
art of illustrating lovely books for
children. Both of these artists
were born in March. lMii. Through
(be years many of their bcoks have
remained popular with people of
discrimination popular enough to
stay in print while countless les
ser artists came in and out of
fashion. Karly editions are collec
tors' treasures and many books
that were published only in Eng
land or for only a short time in
this country, and so have long been
out of print, are prized possessions
of those who own them.
Many of the Greenaway books
(which are still printed by Edmund
Evans in London from eight or
more wood blocks) have been nut
of stock during the war. Now the
presses are busy getting out three
titles: "The Greenaway Mother
Goose," "Under the Window," and
"Marigold Garden." and these will
definitely be avaialble from Fred
erick Warne and Company, New
York.
In Washington, D. C, at the Cor
coran Gallery of Art, March 27.
there is an exhiibt of Bernard
Meeks' fine collection of picture
books, including first editions and
original illustrations. There will
be many Greenaways and Calde
cotls. but the show will present a
history of the development of the
picture book with every period and
type represented.
The Central Children's Room of
the New York Public Library will
have a display from its extensive
collection.
In St. Augustine. Fla., there w
be an exhibit of Caldecott books.
Randolph Caldecott came to this
country and died in St. Augustine
Thus this city takes a rather per
sonal pride in celebrating bis Cen
tenary. The December issue of Made
moiselle has a lively article about
Kate Greenaway and her work,
and the Chicago Sun, in its Book
Week issue of the review section,
carried an interesting article about
this artist by Mildred Bruder of
the Chicago Public Library. The
Horn Book in its March issue car
ries articles about Greenaway,
Caldecott, and Evans, the printer
who made the books are bol h ar
tists. The following books are on dis
play in the Headquarters at
Waynesville: R. Caldecott's "Hey
Diddle Diddle Picture Book No. 3."
"Picture Book No. 1 and 2," and
Kate Greenaway's "Under the Win
dow." The Caldecott awards and
modern picture books will also be
featured.

COOKED A FINE DINNER;
THEN THREW IT TO DOG

used to throw her own dinner to
the dog most of the time. It made
her sick just to look at anything to

of bloat, had headaches, felt 'worn
out and was badly constipated.
Finally she got INNER-AID and
says she now eats everything in
sight nd digests it perfectly.
Bowels are regular and normal.
She is enjoying life once more and
feels like "some other woman''
since taking this New Compound.

Gossip over a back fence is everybody's business! . . . And, in quite another

It belongs to you to the man next door and the woman across the
street to the people who rub shoulders with you in shops and trains
and buses.
All types and kinds of folks are on our stockholder list Housewives,
farmers, merchants, teachers, doctors, nurses. They're the direct owners.
And there are countless indirect owners. Even if you don't own a
share of our stock yourself, you probably have a stake in this company
through your life insurance policy or savings account.
Why? Because banks and insurance companies who handle your

business management has made cheap, dependable electric power a basic
