PROPERTY CHANGING

Many People Searching For De
sirable Lots For House
Building
You might call it a real estate
boom, or you might call it by some
other name, but a large amount
of real estate has been changing
hands in Roxboro lately.
A majority of those who are
buying real estate are doing it for
the purpose of building houses.
Some of these houses are of the
apartment style while others are
single houses. At the present time
there must be about fifteen or
twenty houses either in the con
struction or planning stages in Rox
boro.
Some people are buying land as
an investment proposition, others
are ready to build at once.
A few people are showing in

Finds Insect Pests ,
Riding Air Liners
Washington, April 6—(A.P.) —
Insects, pests and plant diseases are
now riding the world’s air liners.
These threats to farm crops, Sec
retary Wallace said today in a
farm hour broadcast, have been in
creased by “airplane travel be
tween countries.”
He said Federal plant inspec
tors found 20 species of insects on
plant material upon the Graft Zep
pelin on one of its stops in the
United States. Six of the insect
species “were not known in this
country,” he said.
Last year the Bureau of Ento
mology and plant quarantine in
spected 3,000 airplanes from for
eign countries at 16 ports of entry,
intercepting, Wallace said, “a
thousand lots of prohibited plant
material.”
he’s a nice fellow, says that Roxboro
should have a white way. Many
: people are inclined to agree with
him and something may be done
along that line.

UNSKILLED LABOR !
HARD TO FIND
Men Needed For Work On Hur
dle Mills Road; Wage Scale
Is 25 Cents
J
According to a report from Mrs.
Ethel C. Lipscomb, head of the re
employment service for this section,
unskilled labor is very hard to get
in Person County.
At the present time men are ’
needed for work on the Hurdle \
Mills road, but it seems impossible 1
to get the number of men that are ’
required. Fifteen or twenty people
are needed on this project at once.
The contractor for this job is j
furnishing transportation from Rox- :
boro to the work and back, but still '
no men are applying for the work.
Anyone interested in working is !
urged to report at the Court house
on Thursday, any Thursday from '
9:00 a. m. to 1:00 p. m. Re-employ
ment office is on first floor. The pay i
for unskilled labor is 25 cents per
hour.
Unless people from this county
respond to this call it is imperative
that the contractor go out of the
county or perhaps out of the state
for labor.
VAGRANCY LAW TO
BE ENFORCED HERE
All Persons Without Visible
. Means of Support Will Be
| Called upon To Go To Work
From official sources comes the
• report that the vagrancy law will
be inforced in Roxboro starting at
once. All men who have no visible
means of support Vill be called
. upon to go to work and if they
r do not go to work they will be cal
, led upon to go before the judge.
. Jobs are ready for those who care
: to work.
One city official stated that it was
. a hard task to get labor in Roxboro,
i almost imppssibe ]in sfjme cases,
! yet it looked like there were liter
i ally hundreds who were not work
• ing. These will be called upon to
prove where they are getting a
[ living.
i At this time laborers are needed
. for work on the Hurdle Mills road.
1 So far the contractor has not been
■ able to secure this labor in spite
: of the fact that many do not have
jobs.

NUMBER FORTY
SEVERAL PERSON '
CO. BOYS TO ATTEND
JAMBOREE IN JUNE
Approximately 30,900 Scouts
From Over the Nation Will
Gather In Washington
Interest in the Washington Jam
boree has reached a fever here
and registrations have been pouring
into the scout office. Troops thru
out the entire Cherokee Ciouncil
have been preparing for the Jam
boree. Troop 20 of Haw River is
leading in the registrations having
registered 8 scouts. Many other
troops have registered from 1 to 5.
The Cherokee Council’s quota hasi
been set at 2 troops with a total de
legation of 64 scouts to attend the
Jamboree.
The National Jamboree is the lar
gest peace-time gathering of youth
America has ever seen. It is the
largest Scout camp ever established
in the western hemisphere.
A city of thirty thousand souls
will spring up practically over
night within sight of Washington
Monument and th e Capital Dome
It will cover more than four hun
dred acres arid wilfi have all the
facilities of a modern city, from elect
ricity, running water, garbage dis
posals, sewage, to hospitals, fire de
partments, telephone centrals, broad
casting “studios,” even a daily news
paper! The city will exist for ten
days and then disappear as mys
teriously as it came into being.
For ten days thirty thousand
Scouts and Scouters from every cor
ner of the United States and from
a number of foreign countries will
be living together in this tremen
dous camp.
The camping trip alone will be
worth the trip to Washington. Meet
ing fellow scouts and learning from
them their practices will be a uni
que adventure. All the outstanding
Scout campers of America will be
present, and as one walks through
the multitude of camp sites one will
see camping as it is practiced in
every section of our country.
There will be an amazing array
of tent models, of new set-ups of
camp kitchens, and numerous clever
camp gadgets. There will be spec
tacular and simple camp entrance
gates, and there will be colorful
decorations of tents and novel pie
ces of camp equipment.
The Jamboree camp in itself will
be an amazing event, but besides,
an extensive program of activities
has been prepared for the Jamboree
campers.
The boys from Roxboro and
Person County have not yet been
named, but it is thought that se
veral will go.
