This January 14, 1937. I A. F. REEVES, Clerk Superior Court. 4tc-ll Rep. Taylor Vote* Against Child Labor Amendment When the proposed ratification of the Child Labor amendment to the United State constitution was presented in the North Carolina House of Representatives at Ral eigh Monday, Representative D. P. Taylor, of Alleghany county, went on record as being opposed to ratification. Anti-child labor legislation has been urgently favored by Presi dent Roosevelt. The first break between “down the line” Democratic North Caro lina and the Roosevelt adminis tration exploded Monday after noon when the House voted 58 to 47 to table ratification of the proposed amendment. It was generally known the ad ministration opposed ratification, although Governor Clyde R Hoey was noncommittal. Many political observers looked on action of the House as a stab at the Roosevelt administration and its policies. Proponents of l'atification charged the state with “slapping the President in the face” by refusing to ratify the amendment. But rallying to discount that attitude, state administration lead ers voiced anew their confidence in the President, and asserted that agreement between the Presi. dent and North Carolina on every issue cannot be expected. “Model Teacher” Is Discussed At Meeting Here Sat.

Proceedings were stopped and on motion of Representative Spruill, the house rose and cheered former Repre sentative Doughton, who was ask ed to speak to the body, which he led more times than any liv ing man. Mr. Doughton, lieuten ant-governor from 1893 to 1897, speaker of the house, and many times chairman of the finance committee, was taken completely by surprise when asked to speak. Carl Goerch, in commenting over the radio on the ovation that Mr. Doughton received, said it was unprecedented for the house to stop in the midst of its regular business, recognize a visitor, and demand a speech. This, of course, attests to the high esteem m which Mr. Doughton is held throughout the state. MARRIAGES WOODRUFF—FIELDS Mr and Mrs. C. L.

(Exclus ive).—In Hollywood a team’s the thing, just as it is on the foot ball field or on a baaeball diam ond. This tendency of pairing off players for a series of films is stronger than ever at all the studios. Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray have been together in three pictures, and will probably be together again in Claudette’s next opus, “I Met Him In Paris.” The pair of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers has been one of the biggest moneymakers during the past two years, but since Ginger is going dramatic RKO Radio is looking for a partner for Fred to complete the team. Nelson Eddy and Jeanette Mac Donald have been stamped as the screen’s leading singing pair. Bob Burns and Martha Raye are filra dom’s latest twosome, this was the result of their writ in “The Big Broadcast" and “Rhythm on the Range.” They will be paired in the next Crosby opus, “Wai kiki Wedding.” William Powell and Myrna Loy will always be remembered as a team and M-G-M will continue to team this famous pair as long as the public wants them. Another twosome is Dick Powell and Joan Blondell. Victor McLaglen and Edmund Lowe can’t be beaten for acting when they’re together, ditto-Gable and Crawford. Your correspondent would like to make the prediction that a new team will be born in the com ing Walter Winchell-Ben Bemie film. WE DO NOT CHOOSE TO MARRY; Barbara Stanwyck, red-haired film star, today spiked all Holly wood rumors of her intended mar riage to Robert Taylor, the 1986 sensational star, by declaring she does not contemplate matrimony, "for years and years, and maybe never.” While visiting her on the set of her latest “Internes Can’t Take Money” she said, “I’d like to set tle this talk once and for all. Bob and I are close friends, and I’m proud to be his friend. But we’re not going to get married.” Not until all these rumors quiet down can anything happen.

The truth of the matter is that she will visit Kay Francis while in Baris. THAT’S all for today. Until next time I remain your Holly wood correspondent who says: “The best time for a girl to feather her nest is before she gets the bird!” „ NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS On account of road conditions, the county commissioners have granted me until March 1 on all 193S taxes.

IRWIN, Sheriff and Tax Collector (continued from front page) two young ladies entered the res taurant at the Senate office build ing for lunch, there was a gasp and turning of heads to see the "romeo of the Senate,” as on* secretary to a senator put it. Reynolds said he had received many calls since the picture ap peared, one being from George Allen, District of Columbia com missioner. “Commissioner Allen said that picture was worth $1,000 t» the President’s birthday ball and you know 1 am always glad to help * worthy cause,” the sena tor remarked-. Jean Harlow and Robert Taylor, both of whom were in Washing ton to promote interest in the President’s birthday balls, the proceeds of which go to aid in the fight on infantile paralysis, visit ed the Capitol Friday to meet some of the celebrities. While talking with a group of senators in the office of Colonel Edwin C. Halsey, secretary of the Sen ate, Reynolds breezed in with the air of a Barrymore and the cam eramen called for a kiss. The pic ture men called for more and Senator Reynolds and Miss Har low went out to do their act on the Capitol steps. Since both Reynolds and Miss Harlow are eligible for matri mony the writers of gossip col umns are keeping their eyes peel ed for further associations with the view of launching a romance boom between a dashing United States senator and a well-known movie actress.
