DIR. CLARKE SPEAKS

Dr. Nat G. Clarke followed Dr. Milford and said that the mosquito evil which was now besetting this community, last year caused over 5000 cases of dengue fever and fig ured at an average cost of S5 per person mosquitoes cost this district $25,000. He said the drain pipes around homes, old cans, buckets, bottles and drips from ice boxes proved great breeding places and that each individual should see to to it that his home was free of such breeding places. Dr. Clarke agreed to write a short letter about the mosquitoes and the Kiwanis club will ask the Boy Scouts to distribute u csc to each house in Ensley. There will follow an active program 10 rid the community of the pest. Dr. Clarke's suggestion was officially approved by the Kiwanis club.
 The club also enjoyed a male quartet from the Methodist church, which rendered the musical selec- ticns admirably and after a short discussion the luncheon adjourned. Guests other than the quartet in cluded nr. Milford, Mrs. c. A Has, Sler and Max Mellon

RESOLUTIONS
Resolutions Adopted By The Parent
Teachers Association and Cham
Der of Commerce of Boone,
N. c., In Joint Session
August 14th, 1928

WHEREAS, the present public
school house in Boone district is, as
every patron knows, entirely made
quate to the present needs of the
school. The school has outgrown the
room; children are crowded to suffo-
cation in at least two of the rooms
sufficient ventilation is impossible,
and the roof is leaking badly. 1t is
further almost impossible to heat the
building in winter sufficiently to give
any sort of comfort to the children.
These conditions, taken as a whole,
have grown to be well night intoler-
able.
AND WHEREAS, pending appro-
priation for the erection of build
ing on the site purchased from Mr..
J. F. Hardin, the legislature of North
Carolina passed an act providing a
fund to be used as a practice or OBJ
servation school by the Appalachian
Training School. This general plan
was endorsed by the Board of Edu-
cation of Watauga County, and the
school committee of this district was
instructed to cooperate with the au-
thorities of the Training School in
procuring grounds, planning build
ings, and working out details in gene
raj for the erection of the building
AND WHEREAS, we are informed
that no definite action has yet been
taken in the premises
THEREFORE BE 1T RESOLVED,
that we, the Parent Teachers Associa-
ton, the Chamber of Commerce, and
the patrons of Boone public school,
in mass meeting assembled, do here
by request and urge the school COM
mittee of this district to Immediately
confer with the authorities of the
Training School and find what steps

needs of the growing population of
the district cannot be had either from

before the Board of Education and

A NEAR CONFEDERATION

At about $3.50, Monday evening.
the alarm Of fire was heralded
through Boone, and within a short
while the bigger part Of the popnla-
ton was assembled at the o. K. bar
ber shop under the Boone Drug Com
panys store, and but for timely ac-
tlcn, it is hard to say, what the re-
suit would have been. The fire origi-
mated IN the pressing room which ad-
JONES the barber shop the gas tank
exploding, and spreading fire through
out and adjoining rooms. But by the
use OF fire extinguishers, which, for
tunately, were close at hand. the
flames were soon extinguished. But
still considerable damage was done.
The machinery in the pressing room
was quite badly damaged, as were
several suits of clothes: the windows
were crushed, while the barber shop
was possibly the heaviest looser. The
large plate glass mirrors extending
along one side of the room, were
shattered while the chairs and other
fixtures were quite badly hurt. The
loss is estimated at from $1,000 to
$1,000.

even from among them God may
give us missionaries.
Never in the history of. Mission

In spite of the disturbed condition in
China the doors are open wide for the

cannot but have converts there now.
