WEEK
QUAKER CITY FACES
CHANGE
Harrisburg, Pa. Governor
Earle has received a erport, after
14 months of study, from a com
mission he appointed to suggest
a new form of government for
Philadelphia, the state’s largest
city and long enjoyed the reputa
tion of being “corrupt and con
tented”. To lift the city out of a
deficit of $30,000,000 squandered
by political incompetance, the re
port recommends a city manager
answerable to a “blue ribbon’
council of eleven members,
chosen for established honesty
and business efficiency. The city
is already $33,000,000 beyond its
constitutional debt limit, in ad
dition to its current deficit.

[Negro Stricken by “Most
Contagious Disease;” Trans,
ferred To Raleigh.
Smallpox, most contagious of
all diseases, reared its ugly head
at the Person County prison camp
here last Wednesday when Sam
, Graham, 25-year-old Negro, was
stricken with the disease.
He was immediately transfer
red to Central Prison in Raleigh
as soon as the case was diagnos
ed by Dr. B. E. Love, local phy
sician. Graham was employed by
the Polk Lumber company be
fore being sent to the local pri
■ son camp, it is understood.
; Dr. A. L. Allen, local health
officer, immediately following
• the diagnosis ordered the entire
roster of the prison camp, appro
ximately 110 persons, vaccinated
1 against the disease. He was as
-1 sisted by Dr. Love and Miss Char
■ lotte Williams, health department
nurse.
Graham had never been vac
cinated.
This case, Dr. Allen described
as a “timely warning” for any
persons who have not been im
munized against the disease.
Commenting upon the whole
sale vaccinations, Dr. Allen said,
“This is the customary precau
tion. Whenever a case occurs it
is required by law to vaccinate
every person exposed, whether he
has been vaccinated recently or
not. Smallpox vaccination will
confer immunity for a variable
period which is individual with
the person vaccinated. However,
this period is usually not less
than seven years nor more than
20 years.”
“Everyone should be vaccinated
for smallpox at least twice or
thrice during a lifetime,” he
said.

Replys To Appeal
Os S. G. Winstead
Agricultural Chief Says
Nothing Can Be Done Be.
fore Next Year.
Secretary Henry A. Wallace
and the department of agricul
ture this week refused to inter
cede in behalf of an earlier open
ing for the local tobacco market
and others of the Old Belt sche
duled to open September 27.
In reply to an appeal from S.
G. Winstead last week in behalf
of the local market, William Col
lins, chief of the Tobacco Section
of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, said “the Secre
tary of Agriculture has no juris
diction in connection with the
opening of the markets in the
various belts.”
Collins said the only suggestion
that occurred to him was “that
warehousemen and others in the
Old Belt, who are interested in
having those markets open earl
ier, should make their wishes
knowin l&t the meeting of the
United States Tobacco associa
tion next year.”
Old Belt leaders have attempt
ed for several years to secure this
belt’s opening on the same day
as the Middle Belt but without
success. In view of this, local
leaders feel ithe department of
agriculture’s suggestion comes a
trifle late.
Mr. Winstead’s letter was sup
plementary to a petition sponsor
ed by the Chamber of Commerce
and signed by local business men
last week, which was sent to the
President of the U. S. Tobacco
association along with similar
petitioners from other towns in
the belt. The petitions were ac
companied by another petition
signed by 30,000 farmers through
out the Old Belt.

SUMPIN * FISHY
Last Tuesday, it rained. In
fact, it rained hard. Some peo
ple would probably describe
it as a cloudburst, but that’s
beside the point.
After the shower Mrs. An
na Jones, who lives high atop
Reams avenue hill, following
her usual custom, went out
picking around in her garden
back of the house only to dis
cover a live fish wiggling be
tween two rows “as big as
life and twice as natural.”
Now Mrs. Jones doesn’t
know where the fish came
from but it rained mighty
hard. Do you suppose ?
Anyway it probably would
be there now if the cat hadn’t
eaten it up.

Everything Is In Readiness
For The Times* Cooking School
Along The Way
With the Editor
Mrs. E. P. Dunlap of Roxboro, stopped this writer the other
day and asked him to start writing about local women in this col
umn. We told Mrs. Dunlap that we had to draw the line there, it’s
hard enough to get along with the women when you keep your
mouth shut, much less when you start talking about them. We will
leave it up to Mr. Dunlap, ask him if we are right about this.
The Times is sponsoring a cooking school this week. Naturally
the ladies are interested and a few boys around town who expect to
marry soon are cordially invited to attend. These boys will pro
bably be henpecked so they might as well start taking lessons in
cookmg. They are D. D. V. Long, Bill Harris, 111, Willie Yancey,
Walter Murray and Ivey Featherston.
Henry O’Briant, fire chief to you, has started golf. There ought
to be a law “agin” such things as that. He hasn’t bought his clubs
but borrows clubs from Thomas Hatchett. Henry thought a “green”
was something to eat until three weeks ago and now he talks about
swings,” “putter,” “fairway,” etc. with all the ease of a veteran
golfer.

GAME WARDEN
ISSUES WARNING
Hunters Must Carry Person
al Identification As Well As
License, Reynolds Says.
Hunters who fail to carry posi
tive identification as to their re
sidence, in addition to their hunt
ing license, may be subject to con
siderable difficulty in the field
this fall, according to John D.
Chalk, Commissioner of Game
and Inland Fisheries.
Commissioner Chalk said that
every attempt will be made dur
ing the coming hunting, season
to catch those individuals who
have for years secured their
hunting license under false pre
tense. Every officer in the field
has been instructed to ask for
positive identity, failing which,
steps will be taken to prohibit
hunting until proper identity is
established.
North Carolina sportsmen do
not go hunting or fishing without
first equipping themselves with
proper licenses but all hunters and
fishermen are not sportsmen; it
is necessary for game protectors
to check licenses closely.

NUMBER NINE
Home-Makers To Be Wel
comed To Palace At 10 O’-
clock; Prize List Given.
Lock the doors and come to
town!
The Times’ Motion Picture
Cooking school entitled “Star in
My Kitchen” will be the real com
munity attraction for two days,
at the Palace Theatre Tuesday
and the Dolly Madison Theatre
Friday, both shows beginning at
10 o’clock in the morning.
This fascinating and different
cooking school is open entirely
free to every woman in town, and
the Times as well as Roxboro
merchants extend this last invita
tion to join in the home-making
lessons and jolly entertainment
for at least one day.
The Motion Picture Cooking
school will be a practical rally
of home-makers to contribute
fresh perspective for the “same
old job”, the monotonous day-in
and-day-out job, yet the most im
portant business in the world.
Just as men have their annual
conventions, where they listen to
lectures from specialists, local
women will have their conven
tion to consider home-making
problems.
Ju9t as fresh inspiration for
the old job is one of the by-pro
ducts of the familiar cooking
school, which presents a lecturer
in a model kitchen, so are new
ideas and keen incentive born
in the film class for home-mak
ers, with its novel approach and
modern setting.
No “false-front” camera-beau
tiful kitchens satisfied these
specialists. They insisted on work
ing in complete, compact, modern
kitchens, which actually reflect
more scientific ingenuity and
careful planning than any living
room.
Everyday happenings have been
dramatized in the plot of “Star
in My Kitchen”. Behind the
sparkling humor and suspense
that are so necessary to screen
stories was a deliberate plan
an ambitious determination ta
carry instruction, inspiration, and
worthwhile home news to women
in every community.
The camera took its time and
it took its close-ups, so that ev
ery person will have a “large as
life, and twice as natural” view
of each operation. There will be
no “orphestra circle” at this en
tertainment, since the back row
guests of the Times will have an
equal chance to peer into the
busy mixing bowl, watching the
