BY the Associated Press
GREENSBORO, N c., March 15.--
Pete, who used to be just canary bird,
is now a star radio performer.
The singing of the little feathered
songster. has become a regular feature
of programs of Station WNRC, Green's
boro He has among his radio listeners
a hundred or more canaries for whom
he serves as an invisible choir leader.
When Wayne Nelson. director of Sta
ton WNRC, started broadcasting Pete's
voice he received many calls telling how
the notes Of the bird excited other
canaries that happened to be near the
receivers. The owners of the canaries
formed habit of moving the songsters
near the radio while Pete's notes were
broadcast Almost invariably the other
birds burst out singing themselves.
Mr. Nelson says the programs in
which the canary takes part are pop
ular with the radio listeners. At the
start the canary was used chiefly in
orchestra numbers. but now he is often
broadcast as solo performer. Some
times he sings from perch on Mr..
Nelson's finger, sending his notes into
the microphone from close range.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Pas-
w tor Emeritus William Ora
ham Everson of the Muncie Qnd.)
First Baptist church is a major
general now and Smilingly admits
he probably will be called a hypo-
critic, and worse, for leaving the
pulpit to become chief of the mill
tia bureau of the war department..
"a fellow wrote to me the other
day that would go to hell for this,
Everson related. Maybe he's right
If he is, I am sure I won't be tray
cling a lonesome road"
eff we ever have another war, -
he continued, II think the churches
will be to blame for it. The dis
cord, friction and misunderstand-
ing in the world ought to be the
food for pretty careful thought; and
it is the mission of the churches to
remedy that situation.
"Of course, support of war in
great national emergencies is a Ie-
Ultimate activity for a preacher. But
when a fellow loses his head, be is
sunk. A pulpit shouldn't be hUr-
rah station. I look at this duty as
chief of the militia bureau as an op-
portunity for service. If can play
to the game and command respect
here, I think I will do an indirect
service to religion"
EVERSON is a fighter. He was a
II private in the Spanish-Amer-
lean war and subsequently has held
every enlisted grade and commits
stoned rank up to major general.
During the war he was colonel of
the Three Hundred Thirty-second
infantry, Eighty-third division, and
organized the American sector along
the Piave battle front in Italy.
He commanded American occupa-
tionary troops in Austria and the
Balkans after the war. He was a
national guard and reserve briga-
dier-general when ordered to Wash
ington.
When he offered his resignation to
the church in Muncie, the congrega-
ton would have none of it and ele-
waited him pastor emeritus. His
pride therein is considerable.
Everson just has taken his oath
of office in succession to Major
General Greed G. Hammond, whose
four-year term as chief expired last
summer.

GL.OSSBRENNER
IS BERATED AS
EDUCATION FOE
children Go to School Too
Long, Statement Laid
to Candidate.
TAX MONEY WASTED
Members of Board AsSaiI
Chamber of Commerce
for Stand.

Charges that Alfred M. Gloss
brenner, Republican candidate for
mayor, stated publicly two months
ago that children are permitted to
go to school too long, instead Of
going to work in industry, thus
wasting the taxpayers money" were
made at the school board meeting
Tuesday night.
The charge was made by Theodore
F. Vonnegut, the only school board
member not seeking reelection,
when about thirty-f1ve patrons of
School 20, at 1125 Spruce street, APP
peared to demand a new school
building.
Glossbrenner and the Chamber of
Commerce civic affairs committee
were berated soundly by board
members in explaining why they
could not fulfill the new school re-
quest.
Hits Chamber Stand
Following assurance by Mrs. ILL
Ian V. Sedwick that the school
had been" on the building program
for 1890, President Charles w. Kern
declared:
For several years the board has
attempted to build grade schools
from direct taxation, instead of by
bond issues, which usually cost 100
per cent extra for interest, but each
year the chamber civic affairs COM
mittee has insisted that the tax
board eliminate from the budget
items for new buildings Now we
are near our bonded debt limit"
eyes, and the present Republican
candidate for mayor, Mr.. Glossbren-
ner, was the one who came to us
this year and presented the cham
ber's demands that all buildings be
cut out of the budget" Vonnegut
interjected.
Children Should Work"
"He said children should go to
work instead Of going to school so
long, to save taxpayers money;
that we ought to put the schools on
double shifts, and criticised us for
attempting to provide school build
ingS for them. That's something
you didn't know"
After nearly an hour, in which
Kern and Vonnegut, prompted at
times by other board members,
"campaigned" for the entire board,
one member of the delegation re-
marked:
Maybe we would better go to the
Chamber of Commerce and ask for
new school"
The board adopted resolution
to pay $1,000 cash for the Washing
ton township school, in recently an
nexed territory, and to assume $43,-
900 bonded indebtedness outstand-
ing.
1t adopted another resolution au-
thorizing transfer of $34,915 from
the special fund to the new Short
ridge building fund, to pay for vari-
GUS heating and ventilating, plumb
ing, and other items in the con-
struction over and above the amount
Of the bond issue.
1t was explained the amount had
been taken from the special fund
several months ago without formal
ity Of transfer resolution.
