Josephus Daniels Takes

Address To Graduat
ing: Class
' f ?. j
Greenville, Jane 1.?At the twenty
seventh commencement of East Caro
lina Teachers College the A. B. de
gree was conferred upon 95 gradu
ates and normal school diplomas
were awarded to 109 completing the
two-year course.
Hon. Josephus Daniels delivered
the commencement address, taking
as his subject "The Good Old Times,"
showing that those who recall only
the good of the past and forget the
grave evils are pessimists who kill
the buoyancy and faith of youth, as
much as do the disillusioned cynics.
He warned the young people not
to be terrified by the pictures these
draw not influenced by those mean
ing over the decade of the present.
He challenged them to heroic efforts
to rise above the forces of depres
sion. "Men have always had drag
ons to kill." He gave vivid pictures
of conditions he remembered, call
ing attention to education when the
right to tax for public schools was
questioned, contrasting the schools at
present, yet making it clear that the
work was not done until every child
from Murphy to Manteo had nine
months of school, calling anything
leas treason to the childhood of the
State. He contrasted the roads, hos
pitals, laws that regulate factory
labor, safeguard health, and make
corporations really public utilities,
and' called attention to changed at
titudes about the rights of the peo
-1- "TIT- 1 , J*
JHt!. - TTO UAVO Otcu IK awvquimvm
that the good of all rises superior to
the personal desires of any portion
of the population." He called upon
the graduates to resolve to explore
and- conquor new worlds and be
queath better aad easier ways of life
to those who come after, lust as
good men of the past have done.
On Saturday, Alumnae Day, not a
class in the twenty-six classes failed
to answer to the roll call Hie ob
jective set for the next two years la
to work for a full time secretary Co
make contacts with the four thousand
alumnae. Mrs. Christine Viek Joy

program at the luncheon the "March
of Time" theme was carried out by
having members of the twenty-fifth
class, the first class, as honored
guests, and the next two decades and
the last class carry on the story of
growth. Mrs. Martha Lancaster
Fountain, of Leggett, spoke for the
twenty-year class, Mrs. Maude John

Miss Eloise Camp, of Ahoskie, for
the one-year, with President Meadows
presenting the present ana ruture as
the climax. ? Mrs. Eula Proctor

mers to Take Part In
Soil Conservation Pro
gram
Greenville, June 2.?It was an
nounced at the county farm agent's
office today that 2,046 Pitt farmers
have signed work sheets to partici
pate in the federal soil conservation
program this year.
E. F. Arnold, who has been hand
ling affairs of the office for the
past week or so despite his resigna
tion to take over the duties aa sec
retary of the state organization of'
the Farm Bureau, said that there I
were approximately 2,600 farmers
in the county qualified to partici
pate. . .
A ?W1r in heintr made at the
farm agent's office to determine'
the, non-signers in each township.'
It is planned to make efforts to
have every fanner in the county!
participate in the program.
It was pointed out that any!
farmer who has not signed a work
sheet may do so by going direct to
the agent's office or to his respective
committeeman within the next few
days.
Mr. Arnold said a number of
the approximately 20 per cent who
has- not signed probably would do
so. He added that some tenants did
not understand they were supposed
to sign, but expressed the opinion
they would when informed that
they were. A portion of the land
owners who have not signed do not
live in the county, and therefore
have not had a chance to do so.!
Mr. Arnold added that it was the
aim of the committeemen to give
favmor a* lftluiwwCTlAT in tfie!
county an opportunity to partici
pate in the program.

First Veteran'& Bonds
To Arrive June 16th
> -? ?? ? ? :
All Veterans Urged To
Obey Rules To Facili
tate Immediate Pay
ment /
K i ?! *
Postmaster 3. 0. Turn age, an
nounced today that bonds for pay
ment of the soldiers' bonus will be
shipped from Washington, D. C.,
Juhe 15th, and will arrive here for
delivery to veterans on the morning
of June 16th.
The postmaster stated that in
order to facilitate the delivery of
the bonds, all veterans should, if pos
sible, remain at home or the address
at which they receive mail. The
reason for this is that bondt will be
delivered only to the veteran him
self and no other person. Each
bond is accompanied by a registered
return receipt and must be signed
personally by the veteran. Ail veter
ans are requested to sign the re
ceipt, as well as. the bond, the sfinie
as it is issued; for instance, if full
name, then sign full name, if initials,
sign initials. 1
In the case of the death of a
veteran or his moving to another
post office address, the bonds will
be returned to the post office de
partment, it was stated.
Box holders wil! be notified to
call at the window designated for
delivery of the bonds.
If the veteran is not known by
the postmaster, carriers or designat
ed window clerks, it will be neces
sary for him to furnish positive
identification before his bond will be
delivered to him.
The bonds will draw three percent
interest but no interest will be paid
if they are redeemed prior to June
15, 1937.
When the veteran receives his
bo*?d, if he desires to cash it, he will
take it to the post office where it
Will be certified by the postmaster
or designated clerks. Facilities for
handling this will be established in
the post office building in Farmville.
The bonds will be certified and
left there. They, will be forwarded
to Raleigh at no expense to the
veteran, and the check will be mail
ed from that office directly to the
bolder of the bond.
It is important that veterans DO
NOT WRITE THEIR NAMES OR
ANYTHING ELSE ON THE BONDS
UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN
BROUGHT BACK TO THE POST
OFFICE FOR CERTIFICATION.
It was further stated that possibly
all bonds will not be received in the
first shipment. However, it is ex
pected that most of them will be re
ceived, as' the majority of veterans
filed their applications early enough
for them to be the first lot. The
qpmainder will be mailed as soon as
possible.
Mr. Turnage stated that certain
other agencies have been authorized '
to certify the bonds, but only those
bonds certified at the post office will
be cashed through the Raleigh office.
Bonds certified by another agency
will be sent back to Washington, D.
C., and the expense will have to be
borne by the bond holder,
