DALLAS.^—The man who took
up competitive shotlng because
he "grew tired o’ shootin- squirrels”
is celebrating the completion of a
decade in which he won hundreds
;of trophies and took part in 16 in
ternational matches.
He is sharp-shooting Thurman
Randle of Dallas. He didn’t take up
shooting competition until he was
36 years old.
His greatest feat, to which he
points with pride, was the world
record he hung up in a Swiss match
on July 3, 1934, at the Eastern
championships, Camp Ritchie, Md.
In this match, where the con
testant fires until he misses, Ran
old peppered the bull’s eye with
196 consecutive shots from the 300
yard mark. It was something of an
endurance feat, too, requiring two
hours 17 minutes.
Each year since he began match
ing shots with other sharpshooters.
Randle has been a member of the
DeWar team which engages Eng
land in international rivalry.
Twice he has gone to England as
a member of the United States
Bisley cup team, and now he is
preparing for another trip abroad
next year when the series Is resum
ed after a 6-year lapse.

Flood Of Insurance
Follows Tornado
RALEIGH, April 34.—The early
April tornado which struck Greens-*
boro with such .devastating effects
has created a tremendous Increase
in the demarfd for that type of in
surance production, according to
Dan O. Boney, state commissioner
of insurance.
Mr. Boney said that, although his
department did not have officially
complete figures, he was reasonably
certain that the volume of tornado
insurance underwritings had in
creased three-fold since the terrific
windstorm struck the Guilford
county metropolis, causing fourteen
deaths and entailing a huge sum
in damages to property.
"Our latest figures, for the year
1934, show that during that year
the premiums on tornado Insurance
amounted to approximately $222,
000," Boney said. "Insurance firms
from every section of the state have
Informed me since the Greensboro
episode that their business in writ
ing such protection has gained tre
mendously."

35,000 Families
In Region Four
In Resettlement
RALKIOH, April 24—The Rural
Resettlement Administration has
35,000 (arm families under eare of
Its rehabilitation program In the
five states grouped in region 4, Paul
Maris, Rehabilitation director, ot
Washington, D C. said here Thurs
day. Other additional thousands
will be added during the next few
weeks, he stated. The states of reg
ion 4 are North Oarollns, Tennes
see, Kentucky, Virginia and West
Virginia.
Hera for a conference with re
gional resettlement officials, Marls
was especially pleased with the
progress of rehabilitation activities
In North Carolina, where 14,600
farm families are fighting their
way back to a self-supporting basis
with “rehab" loans.
The following description of the
rehabilitation program Is given by
the information division of the re
settlement organisation:
“Tor many years the American
people have regarded farming as
one activity certain to yield at least
three square meals a day and a
place to sleep at night. Many
thought the fanner was never
threatened with starvation, even
though there were years when he
did not make any money.
“This Idea was proven false dur
ing the depression, when more than
a million farm families were forced
on relief. The government had to
feed these families. It was during
this period that the government
learned that In most esses it Is far
better to help the farmers them
selves than to give them direct re
lief. It war shown that a small
loan, better land, and good farming
methods would put many of these
distressed families on their feet
permanently.
