MEET ON FRIT
Will Make Plans For Raising Cleve
land County’s Quota For $250,
000 Alumnae Building
Cleveland county alumnae of the
North Carolina College for Women at
Greensboro are asked to meet this
afternoon, Friday, at 4 o’clock in the
court house. The purpose of the meet
ing, called by Miss Matilda Lattimoro,
chairman of the committee for this
county, is to discuss plans for rais
ing the county’s quota for the pro
posed new $250,000 Student-Alumnae
building at the school. Beginning Mon
day, May 19, a state-wide drive wi'l
be made for the funds with which
to erect the much needed building.
Every former student of the institu
tion is expected to contribute some
thing, the present student body hav
ing already raised $25,000. It is the
original plan that every former stu
dent give $00. In some instances i*
will he more and in some less and
plans for semiring these and other
donations will be taken up at the
Friday! meeting.
State appropriations for the in
stitution are limited and last year
many girds, who wished to enter were
unable to do so. There are 43 buildings
on the N. C. C. W. campus but there
are no facilities for developing the
social life of the young women; al
most no provision for student ac
tivities and organizations; no com
mon meeting ground for the faculty;
no headquarters for alumnae activi
ties; no accommadations for visiting
families of the students. All these
needs will be met in the new com
munity center—the Student-Alumnae
building. There is 'a vital need for
such a building owing to the rapid
growth of the college. The appeal for
funds is first made to students and
alumnae and then to friends of the
institution. The majority of the lead
ing colleges have a building of thi -
character and North Carolina’s col
lege for their future teachers and
mothers should be up to that of oth
er states.
The drive will continue through
May 24 and all former students and
friends of the college are asked to
help in some way during the cam
paign. Every former student in Shel
by and Cleveland county is asked to
be at the meeting Friday afternoon

leading citizens at Caroleen and a
deacon in the Baptist church that
place. No one ever dreamed of hi.;

METHODISTS MAY REFUSE
TO TAKE PART IN WARS
Refusal of the Methodist church
to take part in war will bo recom
mended to the Methodist Episcopal
general cpnference by the standing
committee on the state of the church,
that committee voted this week, 70
to 37. An amendment to except wars
fought for self-defense or the defense
of humanity was tabled by a vote of
59 to 41. The resolution condemned
war and urged the United States to
conduct a peace campaign of educa
tion and enter the world court and
“an association of nations.”
It concluded:
“While recognizing the freedom of
the individual member to follow his
own conscience but remembering that
the chureh is the visible expression of
Christ in the world, we as an organi
zation separate ourselves from war
j and take no part in its promotion.”

Will Take Three Month* To Com
plete. Mrs. Vanderbilt May
Attend Our Fair
Work ■ tatted this week on the big
rare track on the Cleveland County
fair grounds. This is the first visible
move in preparation for the county's
first agricultural fair this fall and
should add interest to other prepar
ations. The contract was let to Sum
mey & Spangler, local contractors,
and they estimate that they can re
move the 15,000 yards of dirt and
complete the track in about three
months. The erection of the exhibit
buildings, fences and other neecssary
structures will probably start next
week, as everything is in readiness
when the necessary material arrives.
Rome thing that will give the fait
a statewide scope was brought up to
dev, when it was announced that an
effort would be made to have Mrs.
Edith Vanderbilt, of Asheville, pres
ident of the State aFir association,
attend the fair, if not each day at
least one day. Mrs. Vanderbilt has
added much impetus to the State fair
and should she visit th" Cleveland
Fair it would aid considerably in at
tracting outsiders.
The announcement that the Kings
Mountain-Sbelby link of the Wiiming.
ton-Asheville highway will be com
pleted in tiie summer means that the
fair crowds will he increased by the
presence of many people from Gas
ton county and the eastern section,
officials say. The highway, an invit
ing strip of black, runs by the fair
grounds.

PIPPIN TO BECOME
raw PASTOR
Sinner Who Was in Dr. While's Meet,
inn to be Assistant Pastor at
First Baptist Church.
Prof. H. M. Pippin who directed the
singing during Dr. John K. White’s
meetings at the First Baptist church
has accepted a call ns assistant pastor
and he and Mrs. Pippin will nrrive in
| Shelby about July 1st to enter his du
ties. When Professor Pippin and his
wife were here for the White meeting,
both made favorable impression and
as the church had been on the look
out for an assistant to Rev. It. L.
Lemons for a year or more, the dt-a
icons extended a call which was unnn
__
mously endorsed by the congregation
Prof. Pippin is a native of Alabama
He was graduated the 9th of May
from the Baptist Bible Institute in
New Orleans, La. For two summer:
he has had experience as an evange
listic singer. He possesses a fine
voice and will direct the music at the
church and the young peoples’ work
in the Sunday school. Mrs. Pippin i.
also a# talented violinist and pianist
she having had charge of the instru
mental music in the Baptist Bible in
stitute while Professor Pippin was a

The First Baptist church considers
itself fortunate in securing Professor
and Mrs. Pippin. The church has not
had a musical director and assistant
pastor sinve Prof. Rtippe left some
V»rs ago and the work has been en
tirely too heavy on the pastor, because
the church membership numbers near

Lure of The Orient
Back at Princess
Today, Friday, Viola Dana is at the
Princess theatre "In Search of a
Thrill.” The picture is taken from
Kate Jordan’s story “The Spirit of
the Road,” and tells of drama, passion
and love in Paris. A handsome dancer
and gypsy romance reveal why good
Americans go wild in “gay Paree.”
Saturday, action, thrills, romance
and comedy abound in Doug Fair
bank’s portrayal of “The Mark of Zor.
ro” taken from the story “The Curse
of Capistrano.” The masked eyes,
flashing swords and daredevil action
are great entertainers.
Monday and Tuesday and exception
al film comes to the Princess when
William Fox presents “The Shadow of
the East” another sensation by E. M.
Hull author of “The Shiek.” And it
has all the lure and mystery of the
Orient. A great love stpry plays back

bian shiek < and Himalayan foothills.
