My Easter Cantata Here
?? ^
Incidents of Saviour's
Last Days on Earth Re
called In Choral Work.
The Farmville Symphonic Chorus
will present the cantata, "Olivet to
Calvary," by J. H. Maunder on Eas
ter Sunday afternoon at three o'clock,
in the Methodist Church, under the
direction of Lewis S. Bullock and with
piano accompaniment by Mrs. Hay
wood Smith.
Recalling simply and reverently the
scenes which mark the last few days
of the Saviour's life on earth, and
some of the. reflections suggested
thereby, the cantata promises to be
an impressive presentation.
The rejoicing of the multitude with
hassnnss and palms, the view of Jeru- <
salem from the steep of Olivet, the
lament over the beautiful city, the '
scene in the Temple, and the lonely i
walk bade over the Mount at night,
form the chief features of the first <
part.
Part two opens with the Supper of 1
the Passover, at which Jesus washes ?
His disciples' feet, and gives to His 1
friends the new commandment of '<
love for one another as the sign of
true disci pleship. From this the <
scene passee to the infinite pathos of 3
the Garden of Gethsemane, the sud- 1
dm appearance of the hostile crowd, ?
Jesus Forsaken by His disciples, His
utter loneliness among ruthless foe? -
the tumult befort Pilate in the Judg
ment Hall, the Passage of the Cross,
the tragedy and triumph of Calvary. <
"The Hallelujah Chorus" from "The 1
Messiah" will be used as a closing
number and as usual will serve as an
inspiring and uplifting finale.
The soloists for the occasion will be (
Mrs. J. W. Joyner, Miss Nellie But- (
ler, Mrs. John D. Holmes, W. D. Mor- 4
ton, C. F. Baucom and Pearson Has

Sanitary Program
Under Way In Pitt
The Sanitary Division of the Pitt
bounty Health Department under the
iirection of Mr. J. H. Moore, Sani- :
ary Inspector, is urging all rural
utizens who need privies to avail i
Jiemselves now of getting a privy j
trough the WPA Privay Program, i
Under this ^ogram the owner ]
simply pays for the material and the 1
5VPA furnishes the labor. Mr. Moore j
says that it may not be generally :
?town but there is a State Law re- i
juiring all property owners living '
vithin 300 yards of another property
>wner to have sanitary privies unless
;hey have a septic tank or other san
itary means of excreta disposal. He
ilso stated that the law further re
juires that the property owner be
jiven thirty days in which to build
i privy but that many citizens are
icting promptly in the matter since it
s possible to get a ready-made privy (
in the City of Greenville. Mr, Moore, ]
jpon request, will supervise the work ,
jf setting or placing all privies. ]
The Health Officer, Dr. N. Thomas <
Ennett, states that sanitary privies
ire so important in the protection of
the family from typhoid fever and
>ther filth born diseases that he
hopes the citizens of Pitt County will
make some sacrifices, where neces
sary, in order to bring this health pro
tection to the family. He further
stated that unless the citizens prompt
ly order privies the WPA project is
apt to be discontinued and if it is
discontinued the citizens, in the con
struction of a privy, will not only
bave to pay for the material but for
the labor as well.
When asked if the Health Depart
ment would enforce the Privy Law
even though the WPA project was
suspended Dr. Ennett replied, "most
assuredly."

AFFECTS MARKET
Danville, Ky., April 5.?Sale of the
People's Tobacco Warehouse Com
pany to Carolina interests, involving
three of the seven local loose-leaf
floors and many thouseands of dol
lars, was announced this afternoon
by Col. I. M. Dunn, president of the
company. Sale of the properties lo
cated on Perryville Street and Hard
ing Street, was made to a syndicate
of buyers headed by Lee Knott,
Washington, N. C., R. H. Knott,
Farmville, and J. M. Hobgood, both
of Farmville, N. C. Details of the
sale were not made public.
Giving up their interests in the
business are Col. I. M. Dunn, Walter
S. Dunn, Allen Hieatt, and John S.
Van Winkle, Eugent Spragens and
Mrs. Pleas Tucker.
The sale, which is one of the larg
est real estate and business transac
tions in Danville in recent years,
brings to Danville no new comers, in
asmuch as Mr. Lee Knott has been
identified with the local market for
the past several years. During that
time he has become quite popular, as
well with Danvillians as he had been
with growers in this territory.
The syndicate purchasing the local
warehouses has large experience in
the tobacco business, operating houses
in Florida and in both of the Caro
The People's Tobacco Warehouse
Company was organized in Danville
in 1910 by Colonel Dunn and John
S. Van Winkle and since that time
has enjoyed a steadied growth in
business and popularity. Several years
ago the "double warehouse" on Hard
ing street was built, and at the time
it was the largest house in Kentucky
under one roof.
Mr. Page Speaker
On Garden Club
Program at School
Continuing the conservation pro
gram of the Garden Club, Rufus H.
Page, Jr., assistant district forester
of the Extension Service of State Col
lege, told pupils of the grammar
grades and high school, and members
of the 4-H Club on Thursday, of the
importance of birds and^ trees in re
lation to humans. He said if all
trees in Pitt county were destroyed
the people would be compelled to
move elsewhere. Besides their value
in the landscape picture and for shade
they are most useful in aiding in the
prevention of droughts and floods,
and are very necessary for the mak
ing of almost everything used by
man. "To adopt the plan of Germany
and plant three trees for every one
cut would insure this nation from be
coming treelss," he stated.
Mr. Page said that early morning
and late afternoon hikes are the best
for studying the birds which are the
friends of man due to their insect de
stroying habits. He planned sugh a
hike soon for those desiring'to go.
In addition to Miss Page, Miss
Ethel Nice, county home demonstra
tion agent, and Mr. Griggs, assistant
county farm agent, made brief talks.
Several members of the Garden Club
who were present at the chapel ex
ercises and Superintendent J. H.
Moore were invited tp the Home Econ
omics Cottage, where'punch and wa
fers were served by the class and the
teacher, Mrs. Captola Lane.
MRS. TUGWELL HOSTESS
The Home Demonstration Club,
No. 2, held its regular meeting with
Mrs. W. G. Tugwli, Thursday. There
were 15 present with one-visitor and
two new members.
The tour of Farmvflle gardens,
planned for this meeting, was post
pond, because of the rain. This tour,
however, to be made soon.
Having no program planned, Miss
Nice came to the rescue by telling
about her recent trip to Cuba, which
was very interesting.
The clean-up campaign was dis
cussed, and April 24-30 was set for
"Home Own Week."
A program committee was appoint
ed consisting of Mrs. W. R Hinson
lbs. W. G. Tugwell and Mrs. L. R

Roosevelt and His New Deal Present
The Only Issue of the 1938 Campaign
The congressional elections are less
than seven months away but already
the political campaign is under full
sway. The issues can be boiled down 1
to a single question: Are you for or
against President Roosevelt?"
For several weeks the country has '
j witnessed an amazing barrage of op*
I position directed against the Reorgan- 1
ization Bill. The intensity of the !
Struggle was amazing, equalling any*
thing that Congress has seen in many
a year. Frankly in the opinion of 1
most observers, the furore was en
tirely out of proportion to the meas
ure involved.
I .
Repeating 1934 and 1936
The meaning of it all is simply this,
that in the fall of this year, the voters
will be asked again to approve or dis
approve the policies of the New DeaL
The present campaign is preliminary
to a larger manoeuver designed to
j convince the people of this country
that the President has too much
power, that he is threatening Democ
racy and that a dictator may result
some day in the future. - Lined up
against him are the same elements
that participated in Ihe battles at the
polls in 1934 and 1980?
$. ?
Of course, the author of this column
has no way of knowing how the peo
ple of this country would vote in an
election today. At the same time, it
is evident that the tactics of his op*
position are. the same which Presi
dent Roosevelt indicate that he
has lost some ground but there is no
reason to suppose that this has been
anything like what his enemies claim.
Party Lines Shattered.
The Republicans are somewhat uni
fied in their concerted opposition to
the President, but show a tendency to
divide rather easily in attempts to
define definite future policies. In his
own party ranks, President Roosevelt
is faced with considerable opposition,
usually led by anti-Court Bill group,
which ahowB a willingness to display
a surprising independence at times.
In some instances party lines are di
vided and instead of a line-up on the
basis of previous party policies, one
finds the division strictly based on the
President and his New Deal policies.
The current business recession, is,
of course, counted upon as an asset
to the opposition. If it continues un
til this fall, political observers expect
the voters to register their dislike of
'"hard times." It is too early, how
ever, to predict the economic state of
the country in the fall and Jhis-factor
remains uncertain. What the govern
ment will do to assist business and
; improve economic conditions remains
to be seen.

? Early Forecasts
While most, of the electionforecasts
currently assume that the Republi
l cans will makayrtde gain* inCon
, gess, seme asserting that they will
. gain from fifty to eighty peats in the
House, it is entirely too early for such;
. calculations. In most-.q^es the pre
diction represents wistfhl thinking.
? At any rate, they are along the same
t line and from the same sources that]
made"'similar predictions in 1984.!
Meanwhile, it is to he uoted&at the
opponents of the measures recom
> to be a recognition of his continuous
r personal popularity among the people
?
?oan Says Security
Sg, ws& m!
t vate Worit: "" i
? ,
Federal works programs do not
compete or obstruct seasonal employ*
ment, was the substance of a state
ment made yesterday by George W.
Coan, Jr., State WPA administrator.
Daring the period from March 15
to April 1, 555 workers voluntarily
left WPA projects for private em
ployment he said "These were most
ly for seasonal occupation."
"Although these workers left of
their own accord," Coan added, "The
WPA demands that workers for se
curity wages accept private jobs
whenever they are offered. We will
not obstruct or compete with seasonal
employment, such as farming or the
iflte."
eflrfi
"To encourage such transition, we
always make every effort to reassign
the worker in tee event his private
job fails," .he added. "If a security
wage worker does not follow this
WPA rule, it means dismissal for him
or her; however, it should be dearly
understood that we will not kick a
worker off the WPA roll to force him
to work for starvation wages."

DENTAL WORE
| IN THE COUNTY
The dental work in the Pitt county
public schools, both white and colored
for this year closed last week. This
work is supported jointly by the State
and the-county, The program put on
in Pitt county is considered one of
the best in the State.
Pitt county was one of the earliest
counties in the state to recognize the
value of dental work in a program of
preventive medicine. This early rec
ognition of the importance of oral
hygiene or mouth health was largely
due to the progressive dentists of
Pitt county under the fine leadership
of Or. Paul Fitzgerald of Greenville,
Secretary of the Pitt County Board
of Health,
The clinics in the white schools
were conducted by On. A. 0. Under
wood and M. J, Hoffman and a brief
summary of the work is as follows-*
Number of children examined 197?,
treated 959, referred to private den
tists 615, total number of operations
4197, lectures on oral hygiene 56 and
attendance at lectures 2058.
The colored clinics Vera conducted
by Or. J. H. Barnhill and a brief sum
mary is as follows: number of chil
dren examined 907, treated 415, re
ferred to private dentists 81, total
number of operations 1610, lectures on
oral hygiene 45, and attendance at
lectures 1107.
This dental program has the cordial
endorsement of D. H. Conley, Super
intendent of Pitt County Schools and
J. H. Rose, Superintendent of Green
ville City schools.
The Pitt County Health Officer,
Dr. N. Thomas Ennett, expressed the
opinion today that the County Com
missioners should be heartily com
mended for making, by appropriation,
this dental service available to- the
school children of Pitt County who are
unable to provide it for themselves,
also declared that he regarded dental
work among school children as odf
of the most important phases of the
entire program of preventive medi
cine.

High School
Days AiLG.T.C.
More Than 2,400 6
Attend Annual Affair.
Greenville. ? High School seniors,
their teachers, and their parents over
flowed the E. C. T. C. campus when
more than 2,490 of them from SO
counties and -108 schools of Eastern
North Carolina poured in to the col
lege to attend the third annual "High
School Day" of East Carolina Teach
ing College.
From 9:00 until noon delegations
kept arriving. Every seat in the
large Robert H. Wright auditorium
was taken when the Grand March
from the swimming pool, where the
crowd was first collected, took the ;
visitors to the building for the mom-'
tug's program.
Music was furnished by the Bel
haven High School band.
President Leon R. Meadows extend
ing a brief but cordial welcome to
the guests, mentioned the purpose of -
the High School day to interest more
high school students in going to col
lege, some college, not necessarily
this one, but preferably one in this
Btate.
He summarized in his apt way the
chief reasons for attending college:
college helps one tp adjust
better to life; it gives one culture he
desires; and it prepares one to serve
humanity better. "V I -
He then asked two other questions,
Which college shall I attend? and
when shall I go to college? The first
he ansvered with the suggestion to
choose fully accredited cotltge, one
which the student will like
of the .spirit of the campus, and mm
in which the student considering the
question can meet the eTpsns? ?
In answering when to go, President
Meadows urged his listeners to enter .
some college as soon after graduation
as possible. I
' Dr. Carl Adams, head of the educa
tion department, general chair
man of the day, presided and called.
the roll of the counties, asking those
from each county to stud when their
names were called. ...
