State Works Progress Administration Ad ministrator, George W. Coan, Jr., has appointed Mr. C. E.-Mcintosh of Chape) Hill, State Director of Edu cation. Mr. Mcintosh also directs the National Youth Administration for North Carolina. Mr. Mcintosh is well known to North Carolinians as an educator and as a former assistant dean at the State University. He has de voted many years to the study of the problems of youth, particularly those dealing with education. He is well equipped in every way for this new work which is such a vital im: I?ortant part of the Works Progress Administration program for North Carolina. Last week upon his return from Washington, he called a meeting of University and College authorities in Greensboro. He told this meeting of his recent conference in Wash ington with the National Youth Ad- ] ministration leaders and of the stress President Roosevelt laid on the im portance of Youth Training. Plans and purposes were explained in de tail so that every one present might cooperate in offering the youth of this state the full benefits and op portunities of the program. He ex- 1 pressed the hope -that the youth of < North Carolina would take full ad- i vantage of every opportunity offered. All North Carolina Educational In stitutions of college level operated on a non-profft- basis may select 12 per cent of their 1934 enrollment to share in Federal Aid offered. No ap plicant will receive aid who is fi nancially able to secure his or her education without help. Only thoee who would otherwise be unable to at tend, will be helped. The amount of aid that may be secured is adjusted to the individual case. It is expected . that the average monthly amount al lowed will -not exceed $12.05 to $15. A maximum mouthy allowance slightly in excess of this amount is available in very extreme and de serving cases. The aid given stu dents is not a loan but is e direct grant, and is made in return for specific duties to be outlined by the college authorities and performed by fhe student seeking aid. Mr. Mcin tosh called especial attention to the fact that all students seeking aid should apply direct to the institution they elect to enter and not to his office. Only those s^pdents with good records and qualifications win receive help, and they will be ex pected to maintain the frigh standard set heretofore by students receiving Federal aid. High school boys and girls are also offered assistance by this Ad ministration. Children between six teen and twenty-live years of age whose parents, were on May 1935 Be lief Bolla are eligible for aid. Seven per cent of thoee enrolled who show promise and a desire to continue their education may receive Federal aid up to an amount not to exceed $6.00 per month. It was pointed out that the school superintendent was the person to wbdm application for 1 ? * ? ? * ? _c-_ v _ aid siiouid w mma. -Mr. Mcintosh ?also states that the i Works Progress Administration : hopes to eophjr 12 to 15 hundred i teachers from Relief Rolls this win ter.

I far,. ^ Dr. Willis received his education at Heavy Sato [Feature Market Week iv-.: V- v Better Grades Scarce and Price Unchanged; 1 Sales Continue Heavy ;in Spight of Much Rain The second week of the current sea eon began on the Farmyille tobacco market Monday, with-offerings, which poured onto the four floors of the troTwhrmfc hfyy thnipghftiit Saturday and Sunday, going well over the mil lion mark in poundage, the record average of the si*. ^day season being made when 543,174 pounds*were dis posed of for $110,669.99, which push ed the average up to $20.37. The Mock was cleared Tuesday when 527,352 pounds were auctioned at prices, which brought growers $104,559.87. Following the two heavy sales and intermittent rains that of Wednesday was revealed as much lighter, a total of 319,062 pounds bringing an aver age of $19.05 per hundred weight An overwhelming amount of in ferior grades have held the.market's average down considerably and the Crop Control Board has-issued an ap peal insisting that growers sell only the grades bringing twelve cents a pound and over, thus holding to their individual allotments and taking ad vantage of the benefit payments offer ed by the government, besides taking millions of pounds off the market. Oficial figures far the, first week ending Friday showed (a total of lr 601,446 pounds handled by this mar ket, money paid out $814^205.89 and the average $19.62. During the same period last year 1,216,252 pounds were sold here for $330,638.76 at an average of $27,1$. ? According to sales supervisor, J. T. Bundy,. the market has sold to date up to Thursday, 2,991,254 pounds for $591,811.16 at an average of *19.79. , ' In spite of heavy rainfall during the past twenty-four hours, which threatened to slow the movement of tobacco in this section, capacity, sales were experienced today, Hhursday, with the poundage estimated at more than a half million and prices ap parently "unchanged. ,A change in the weather will doubtless bring about another heavy sale Friday. I With a new warehouse and. lane additions made to other leaf Jiousns here, the Faravllle market , is better prepared to take care of enormous daily sales than ever before. This, linked with the combined, effort* of all the warehousemen to secure the highest dollar for patrons and;, co operation by the two splendid sets of buyers, puts the Farmville mar ket in a key position and 1935 is in a fair way to be recorded as its. ban ner season. ?? 11 ; smear spusKsj nolds' Riverside Drive Slumber j New York, Sept 4?America ia a free country and all thaVbut .you can't sleep, in, an auto tarailer-on. low er Riverside Drive, even if you_ are a-United States Senator trying to demonstrate that the country can 5e toured in 30 days for $100.
