The Delegate is seeking through te Senate Finance Committee to exempt Alaska federal employees, including employees of the Alaska Railroad, from the provisions of the Economy Bill now pending in Congress. which provides for fur ther reduction in federal salaries. This exemption is asked because of the high cost of living in Alaska. Exemption is also asked for Alaska Federal employees from the pro visions of the portion of the Act referring to leave of absence. The House refused to permit any amendment whatsoever to the bill. The leaders feared that to permit any amendment might so delay the bill as to further seriously endang- CT the public welfare. Even if the bill passes. there is still discretion given to the President to make the reductions in accordance with the reduced cost of living. So if the bill passes in it's present form, MT. Luther c. Steward, the President of the National Federation of Federal Employees, and Delegate Dimond will immediately direct the attention of the President to the greatly increased cost of living in the Territory of Alaska as com pared to the cost of living in the United States proper and in this manner seek to prevent any re- duction in pay of the Federal ena- ployees in Alaska, including, of course, the employees of the Alas ka Railroad.

DECORATIONS
EVOLVED FROM
GARDEN Theme
Architect of Theatre De-
scribes Interior
Motif

Erie G. Stillwell, architect for
Hendersonville's beautiful new
Carolina theatre-the only the
atre in the state that is atmos-
pheric in design-has received SO
many compliments on his accom-
phshments in the new playhouse
that this paper requested an arti-
Gle from him on some Of the de-
tails of the theatre.
Mr.. Stillwell wrote on the deco
rative scheme and sculpture as
follows:
Most all the great country seats
of the nobility, in continental Eu-
rope. are even today monuments
to the fine arts. architecture,
painting, sculpture and landscape
architecture.
Formal gardens were an inte-
grail part of the scheme Of those
great estates, and each country
developed some particular motif,
all its own, which differentiated
its formal gardens from those OF
any other.
In Italy. that country where the
deep azure of the sky seems ever
in competition with the fathomless
cobalt of the Mediterranean, land
scape architects built classic gar
den wall at the foot of q small,
wooded hill. This was usually
constructed of fine, Italian stucco
work. with inches which sheltered
sculptured figures of classic an
tiquity, fountain formed of a
dolphin and Bambino, etc.
Over all hung Towering plants,
roses and vines from urns placed
atop the balustrade. The hillside
forming a background for the
wall, was laid out in paths and
stems leading to little temple,
with stately Italian cedars, Lom-
hardy poplars, hedges bordering a
small cascade and the like. Some
where close at hand was lcggia,
or small building to complete q
really wonderful ensemble of love
illness.
From such a theme. the decora-
tive scheme of the Carolina the
atre has been evolved. Each side
! of the auditorium is closed by a
classic garden wall. over which IS
painted a Mural representing a
Handicapped terrace.
The rear exits have been treat
ed as the corner of a classic build
ing in which has been placed a
doorway, modelled after the justly
famous one in the Plazzo Di We
nezia at Rome.
Over the door, guarding the
window opening, is a wrought iron
grille like that in the gates OF
iL'Arte Della Lane, in Florence.
Every detail of the entire deco
rative scheme has been studied to
create that atmosphere so peculiar
to the gardens of Italy. The Md
rails were done by Mr.. Navlno
Nataloni, of New York.
The sculptured figures in the
inches Of the walls are marvellous
reproductions. A historical sketch
| of 2thcm follows:
| Venus GenetriX-Orlginally
Roman Goddess of Spring, repre-
senting beauty and growth in ma
ture. especially in gardens.
Later. Venus became the Ro-
man Goddess of Love, subsequent
" identified with the Greek Aph-
rodite. But over and above her
cult as a Love Goddess. Venus
| was worshipped by the Romans as
'Dea Genetrix," Mother of the
race, account of her being the
mother Of Aeneas.
Venus was the tutelary goddess
of the City Of Rome. Hadrlan

VENTILATING SYSTEM CAPABLE
OF CHANGING AIR IN CAROLINA
THEATRE EVERY FOUR MINUTES

Among the many fine features
of the new Carolina theatre which
is to open Monday, March 6, is
the ventilating system.
Especially designed for this
house and installed after the latest
dictates of science and engineer
ing, the system is said to be cana
bic of changing every inch of the
air in the theatre every four min
utes. The fans have been placed
where they will take in pure fresh
air and exhaust it at the desired
speed into the auditorium in
manner which will not only cool
in summer. but properly ventilate
in the winter season.
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1933-03-04

The grills are equipped with adj
Unstable controls so that the air
current may be diffused as desired
and sent to every nook and corner
of the attractive auditorium.
The same care which governed
the installation of the cooling and
ventilating equipment was applied
to the heating system which is ar
ranged to evenly heat the audito-
rum. lounge and rest rooms.
The equipment throughout the
theatre is said to be after the
latest and most desirable for a
theatre of this type and designed
to give the utmost in comfort for
Carolina patrons.

thousand vibrations per second, a
sound pitched so high that it can

OF having equipment which has
such range is not that such notes

sounds. but that they are neces-
sary to give the proper undertone

ton. An example of this is in the

Of the Carolina theatre who will

The fact that the theatre was
