WORKERS REDUCE THEIR WAGES
UNDER NEW PLAN.

Durham, Dec. 1.-The congress of
workers Of the industrial democracy
Of the Durham hosiery mills here to-
day voted wage reductions and a cur

Guiding a Christmas vacation Of

cember 13, the mills will operate on a

WRITES POETRY.

J. Kent Greer, who is in Danville
iail. writes the following poem:
| grieve for you in silence,
No eye can see me weep.
But many a bitter tear l shed
When others are asleep.
You cid ne wrong against my will
But in my heart I love you still.
Dear friend to me l can't forget.
The time to meet you l cannot set,
But in my prayer day by day
recall the time l went away.
Your memory is as dear today
AS in the hour you went away.
You do not know the pain | bore,
You did not see HE sigh.
And l only know you went away
And did not say goodbye.
Sometime I think I'm all alone
And walked upon just like stone,
But God in heaven is my friend
And He will see me to the end.
Just remember in His Word
How he fed the little bird
And when you walk in burning sand
He will take you by the hand.
He will make way for you
And He will lead you safely through
And when l sit crying all alone
My thoughts are wandering to my
dear home.
l see my people through flowing tears
And pray the time is growing near,
For one chance 1 want, I'll do my best
And Ill prove myself clear.
In my heart there is a vacant spot
And my dear friends I've not forgot
Now this little piece | pray you read
And in the future nope you succeed

kII;Ill:IIIlIICAij RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL help
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns of less
than 5000 population benefit in a very
large part by the public health and
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
$500 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv-
ice is to assist people to get out OF life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public hearth instruction
and general educational progress of
both children and adults play a big
part.
Recreation is found to be one of the
biggest needs in rural life. There is
lack of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren anG social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people, of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reatiOnal problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS a result of community orgS i iZa-
ton, townships in which there had
been neither plans nor interest in
community progress have been organ
ized to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as result
Of community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools of
instruction in Home Nursing, Care of
the Sick and First Aid In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations is being met. Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreational activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort ia carrying on the programs OF
the various welfare agencies in the
rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv-
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object Of the
service is to lend a hand everywhere
and take the lead only. where neces-
sary.

YOUTH HELD FOR LARCENY OF
AUTO.
Roby Hedgecock Given Hearing on
Charge of Theft Of Automobile
Here


Roby Hedgecock, young white man
vas given preliminary hearing
Thursday before Judge o. Arthur
Kirkman in municipal court on
charge of larceny Of an automobile.
Probable cause was found and the
defendant ordered neld for Guilford
Superior court under bond in the sum
of $1,000.
Hedgecock was arrested in this city
OF Tuesday night of last week by
Chief of Police w. H. Welch. He was
charged with the theft of the aut0mo-
bile Of w. A. Davis, of this city. The
car is now in Mount Airy, where it is
alleged to have been sold by Hedge
cock.
Paul Alfred, manager of a garage at
Mount Airy, was the principal witness
placed on the stand by the state to-.
day. Mr. Alfred testified that he pur-
chased the automobile from Hedge
cock last week, paying him $3.50 for
the car. Before the deal was closed
Hedgecock gave Mr. Alfred a signed
statement that toe car had not been
stolen, the witness testified. That
statement was offered as evidence at
the trial.
The defendant took the stand in his
own behalf, testifying that he had
never been to Mount Airy and that he
went to Pinehurst on the night the
automobile is alleged to have been
stolen. He was vigorously cross ex-
amined by Prosecuting Attorney York
and as a result Hedgecock got all
balled up with his testimony He
tried to tell the way to Pinehurst, but
seemedto have obtained little infor-
nation concerning the operation OF
trains in that section.
1t was the only case heard in court.
H. A. Jones submitted to a charge
of speeding and paid the costs in his
case.
