told Of the big development proposed
at Muscle Shoals and Of the demand
for laborers All that was necessary
to have ones name placed on the
honor roll, which would be sent
direct to Henry Ford for his perusal,
was to send in dollar bill, stating
the kind of work wanted, experience,
age and SO forth. Many were the ap-
plicants who enclosed herewith" the
81 in the hope that they would land
on some soft position. lucrative and
interesting, in the big development
community.
Nobody is in a position to find work
for men at Muscle Shoals at this
time, Commissioner Shipman has
been advised by Director General F.
I Jones, of the Federal employment
service at Washington. Any one Of
fering to do SO is guilty of misre-
presentation and should be prosecut-
ed. Mr.. Jones says, 'tjust as two men
were prosecuted by our department
in one Southern State only short
while ago on similar charge"
! If the government makes a con-
tract with Henry Ford or anybody or
if there is demand for labor, skilled
and unskilled, or both, the Federal
employment offices operated Jointly
by the State and cities will place
men, says Commissioner Shipman.
And he adds that it will be done with
out any expense to the man who is
looking for work.
Committees representing the De-
partment Of Agriculture, the Board
of Health and the State Department
of Education announce the formal
opening of Governor Morrison's
"Home Gardening" campaign in
North Carolina today.
The first work will be done by
the department of agriculture
through its home economics depart
ment and which, Commissioner w. A.
Graham says, has been preaching bet
ter gardens for years. Governor Nor
!risons proclamation was issued sever
al days ago in which he pointed out
the urgency of raising enough food
lstuffs to feed every North Carolinian.
The various State departments will
back up the agriculturists and the
governor by emphasizing the value
of proper diet as it applies to their
work.
Commercial gardening in North
Carolina has always been paying
proposition, it is pointed out, but it is
not of this that the governor is in
terested now. He is urging home gar
dens, and by that he means garden
for every family to get its own food
from. The program is four-fold in
the order named: Gardens, poultry,
hogs and cows"
From time to time the departments
will issue information intended to in
i jspire Tar Heels to greater activity
along the line suggested by the gov
ernor in his proclamation.
Prosecution of the officers of the
defunct Central Bank and Trust
Company is daily looked for, the
State Banking Department having
given up hope of successful termin-
alton of negotiations for a settle
ment with R. G. Allen, former pres
ident, J. HI. Hightower and H. H.
Massey, president and cashier.
The latest move towards liqufdat-
ing the asserts of the bank was the
taking over of the Superba Theatre
by the banks receivers which was
owned by aightower and Massey,
they having acquired it from Mr..
Allen only short time before the
bank was closed.
Assets of the bank are greatly in
volved and there is little reason to
believe the institution will be given
a clean bill of health without con-
siderable litigation and probably
criminal prosecution.
