CHAPTER SEVEN (continued)


ELLEN, that's simply marvelousl"
Molly exclaimed ecstatically. Il was
sure this morning that something
was going to happen. told you
Don't you remembers"
oh, stop til" Ellen wanted to
say.
But she managed to hold her
: tongue. Molly, lost in romantic
speculations, saw nothing of her
daughters discomfort.
Nor did Ellens patient and not
quite truthful assurances that Bar
clay had said not one word to in
dictate anything except a friendly
interest, dislodge Molly from her
firmly intrenched notion that he
, had fallen in love with Ellen upon
first sight of her.
Ellen forgot how important the
meeting with Barclay had seemed
before that other meeting at Dream
land.
She forgot that there had been
nothing pallid about Steven Bar
clays image in her mind until she
had looked into Harry Harrowgate'S
shining, admiring eyes.
Not until Barclay and the drive
through the park had been pretty
thoroughly gone into was she al
lowed to escape to bed.
One thing Mollys tireless cross
examination had failed to elicit
the story of the meeting with Larry
HarroWgate.
ELLEN woke in the morning to
Il hear subdued giggles. Some
thing furry brushed across her nose
and she opened her eyes quickly.
Mikes kitten Buzz scampered to
the edge of the bed and hoped to
the floor. Mike himself, seated
'cross-legged at the foot of the bed
and wearing a suit of shrunken pa
jamas, was responsible for the gig
giles.
AS the girl stretched her arms
over her head, she felt that the
world was very fair. She laughed
joyously with her young brother
and as she laughed all thought of
sleep vanished.
The early morning air was sweet
and cool, promising radiant day.
This was the beginning of the day
that was to mark her first engage
ment with Larry Harrowgate. Her
mind was busy with delightful plan
ming.
What would she wear? She could
carry the pink afternoos dress, a
legacy from Aunt Myra, and change
at noon when her duties at the store
ended. Or would it be better to APP
pear in the same costume she wore
/ at work?
Absorbed in those delightful pos
sibilities, she leaned forward, pulled
Mike into her arms and touSled his
hair until he squealed with delight
"Oh, gee" gasped Mike, after a
few minutes of uproarious rough
housing, Il forgot to tell you. Some
thing came for you. That's why ]
was to wake you up"
What Gamer"

aiming a giant florist box.

more than $3.50 on each 500 of tax

more than $1.5o on each 500 Of tax
able property.
The present rate in many parts Of
the State Is more than 50, and over
the State it averaged S2.82, so that the
Legislature carved out no small task
for the budget makers by writing that
law.
State government alone has a rate
of 90 cents. and the Legislature
sharply limited that branch of the gov
eminent to Is cents, even though Gov
Harry G. Leslie declared the law would
bring the State to financial chaos"
Tax Not Made Easier.
The tax Is not made easier by the
fact that in many places tax assess
ments have been lowered and delin-
quencies have increased, so that gen.
eral trimming of budgets would have
been in order even if tax rates were
kept the same.
Demands for increased relief funds
complicate the budget task But the
Legislature wrote in loophole, setting
up a local board composed of four
county officials and three citizens
named by the circuit judge, to which
local officials may appeal If they are
unable to come under the $1.50 limit.
But to see that the local boards are
Evening star., 1932-08-30

not lenient, the Legislature provided
that 10 taxpayers may appeal to the
State Tax Board If they do not like
the decision of the local board.
So far reports fro mmany sections
Of the State indicate that there will be
few taxing units that will not take
appeals to the local board and perhaps
to the State board.
An example is Marion County, where
Indianapolis is located. Here the
county rate must be held to Is cents if
the $l50 rate is to be preserved. but a
rate of 16 cents is required for the one
purpose to retiring bonds.
Taxes Are Reduced.
The same reports indicate. however.
that the law is having the desired
effect-reduction of taxes-even though
it may fall short of the S150 objective.

URGES STATE TO

Children More Valuable

clares, Asking Equal Ot-

The North Carolina that has always
taken the right path when it stood at
the crossroads will not err in the pres
ent depression but will fight for budg-
cts that will guarantee to its children
an equal chance with others of the
world, said DR.. Frank Graham, pres
ident of the University of North Car
DINA, in addressing the North Carolina
Education association.
"While we balance our budgets
against financial deficits, let's not UNI
balance the opportunities of the chill
dren of the state" he urged. "Wiile
we talk of not defaulting in payments
to New York bankers, let's be sure not
to default to the children of the state.
Let's have no social and human &C.
ficits."
He emphasized the view that back
of economic and fundamen-
tai to economic recovery and advance
are the intelligence and character of
a people and the intellectual and sPir-
itual agencies of the peoples life.
"Without vision, without lntelll-
gent social and spiritual investments
in youth and the future of the COM
monwealth, the people perish" he de-
clared.
The Congratulated business men of
America are today standing by the
schools and colleges, he continued
They know that human beings are

ness and the commonwealth but that
they are also what it is all about. Re

allowed to go up and down with the
stock market but are kept equal, high

The schools and colleges are the chief

SIDE LIGHTS ON
THE LEGION


Mondays parade was the lar
gest yer staged by the American
Legion in this city. 1t was also
the most colorful. Practically
every uniformed legion ~organiza-
ton in the state was in the line of
march, the drum and bugle corps
from Albemarle, Charlotte, Raj
eigh, Greensboro, High Point,
Gastonia and Kannapolis; The 9Th
Field Artillery Band from~Fort
Bragg, the Winston-Salem Legion
band and the Boyden High school
band; the Charlotte Legion Auxi-
liary drill team and the Salisbury
Memorial Flag Escort; and Co. C.
los Engineers.

R. R. Goodson deserve much ere
dit for the splendid showing of
the local company of the National
Guard in Mondays parade. Co. C.
looked like an outfit from the re-
gular army. Were they snaPPy?
And how!
Bryce Williford, commonly
known as "Bub'', and the strut
ting drum major of tn Kannapolis
drum and bugle corps, was one of
the real hits of the parade. 'Bub's"
capers on Main Street won him
the plaudits of the crowd. l Won
der how many knew that in every
day life he is a jeweler and a JUS
tice of the peace?
On the edge of the parade and
in front of crowd was a poor fel-
low, wearing a legion cap and but
ton. Both of his legs were ampu-
tated between the knees and hips.
Loud were his hand-clapping and
a~pplauding as his comrades mar
ched by. He is still carrying on
fourteen years after. As we pass
ed him by and marched along, we
wondered about him and what
happened yonder in France. I'm
consciously, our minds went back
to 1928, and we visualized the roar
and crash of a high explosive shell.
Or perhaps it Was a light Maxim
machine-gun which caught him
above the knees-one cut dirt
from under u feet once, a sick
ening sensation after it was over.
But whatever happened back there
on the Hindenburg Line, at Bour-
esches or in the Argonne, to rem
