CONWAY GIRL WINS
PRAISE AS READER

Miss Meredith Clark, daughter of
Attorney and Mrs. George w. Clark
of this city, Monday night gave re-
cital at Greensboro College for Wom-
en- at Greensboro, N. c., where she is
instructor of reading Mortimer
Browning, teacher of piano music, al
so appeared on the program. Miss
Clark's efforts were we'll received by
the audience, according to press no
tees. The following is from the
Greensboro Daily Record:
THE audience seemed greatly
pleased last evening with the manner
in which Miss Clark recited number
of selections. Her words were enun-
ciated clearly and were distinctly aud
ible, although she spoke softly. The
few gestures used were simple, grace
full and effective In several selec-
tions she displayed her dramatic tai
ent by impersonating three roles in

grees below zero and stood at 3 be-
low at Z a. m. The mercury rose
rapidly during the day, however, and
the snow and ice were melting fast
this afternoon
The extreme cold caught scores of
householders unprepared and every
plumber in the city has been kept
busy throughout the day responding to
calls from those who had failed to
drain water pipes. The State Nor
NAL School was forced to suspend its
session today on account of the intense
cold. No accident occurred, and plen-
ty of steam was available from the
central heating plant, but the main
building is supplied with an INSULT
cient number of radiators to furnish
heat for the building when the tenn
perature is at or near the zero point
Sessions will be resumed as usual
Monday.
The below zero temperature will, it
is believed, be of great benefit to the
farmers of this section in killing the
boil weevils, which were very numer-
Gus in the cotton fields late last sum-
mer. Government authorities state
that the weevils cannot survive a tenn
perature lower than II degrees above
zero, and the cold wave doubtless
killed all except those which were well
protected under logs and the snow.
