Negroes Sing Sunday
Chapel Hill Groups Will Take Part In
Playmaker Reading

Two groups of Chapel Hill
negroes will sing in the inter-
walls of Paul Green's reading of
his play, "The Field God," in
the Playmakers Theatre Sunday
evening at $3.50.
The mems quartet, known as
the Silver Tongued, is led by
Tom Booth whose voice has of
ten been admired by white peo-
pie visiting the Rock Hill Bap-
tist church. The women are
called the Lily Whites because of
their uniform white dresses.
One of them, Susie johnson, has
worked in many Chapel Hill
homes and also in Miss Cates's
cafeteria. Both these organiza-
tions have had much practice,
and so their natural talent has
been well developed.
"The Field God" now in pub
lie for the first time will be pro-
duced in New York next month.

WILL START ON
SWIMMING POOL
AT HOPE VALLEY
Contractor Expects to Have
House Ready for Opening
about May 1st
LAYING OUT THE GROUNDS

The construction of the swim
ming pool at the Hope Valley
Club, between here and Durham,
will begin Monday. The con-
tractor, o. F. Wilkerson, has his
concrete mixer on the ground
and will switch it to the pool
just as soon as the floors of the
house have been completed.
Mr.. Wilkerson said yesterday
that he expected to have the
clubhouse ready for the formal
opening about the first Of May.
Only the laying of the floors and
the interior finishing remained
to be done. ~
Many visitors are driving
through the grounds and stop
ping to look at the house. They
are impressed with the roomi-
ness of it and the good arrange
ment of the piazzas, the lounge,
the serving rooms, and the lock-
er rooms. 1t is evident that the
designers have made adequate
provision for the future growth
of the club.
One of the attractive features
is to be a broad terrace overlook
ing the golf course. Almost at
the edge of this is the ninth
green; and a few feet further
away, on the left, is the tenth
tee. The eighteenth hole is on
the other side of the house near
the paved road.
Mrs. Aymer Embury, wife of
the architect and herself the
landscape architect, came from
the North recently with her
complete plans for lawns, tennis
courts, walks, and parking
spaces, and gave directions for
the prosecution Of the outdoor
work adjacent to the house.
Bermuda grass is about to be
planted on the golf course. They
already have a covering of a
growth which is called Italian
rye. This serves as a winter car
pet. The alienation of Italian
rye and Bermuda grass was or
dered by the celebrated Donald
Ross, who designed the course.
Just when the links will be open
to players has not yet been an
nounced, but almost surely there
will be some play this summer.

The birds received locally were

time taken in transportation, when
the birds were released they were un-
able to fly. The Hungarian Partridge
is very wild and the least disturbance
while in captivity causes them to

STATE TO LOSE $4,000
FROM EXEMPT IN TAX

Minnesota will lose less than $780,
900 annually in motor vehicle taxes
as a result of the State Supreme
courts decision last Friday that cor
porations paying gross earnings taxes
are exempt from further taxation on
automobile equipment.
Mike Holm, secretary of state, who
has charge of automobile registration,
said last Friday night that no separ-
ate record is kept of corporations
which have been assessed gross earn
ings and motor taxes and that t
would be difficult to state exactly the
loss to the state He said he was con-
fident, however. that it would be
less than $4,000.
The Supreme court ruled in favor
of the American Express company
in mandamus proceedings brought
against Mr.. Holm. He was ordered
to refund motor taxes paid by the eX-
press company of $4,000 annually for
the past three years.
The court announced its decision
was based on the clause of the gross
earnings tax law which provided that
the gross earnings tax is in lieu OF
all other taxation.
Railroad, telegraph. telephone and
express companies are the only ones
affected by the gross earnings tax
law.
