BLUE RIDGE SCHOOL
The Blue Ridge School for Boys
at the eastern edge of Hender-
sonville of which J. r. Sandlfer
is hCadmaster, was established IN
1913 to meet the increasing de-
mands on the part Of eXacting
parents for a school in this sec
ton of the south that would at
ford equal advantages with the
older and better-known schools Of
the north and east. Moreover,
the founders were convinced that
the interests Of higher education
in the Carolinas require a large
number of secondary schools bas-
ed on sound scholarship and Of
ferine. courses of study that
would give thorough preparation
for entrance into the best colleges
and universities. T marked
success that has attended the
school from the outset of its eX-
istence bears testimony to the
fact that it is serving useful
purpose in the educational world
and that its ideals are. based up
on sound principles.
Blue Ridge belongs to that type
of school that steers midway
course between the rigid church
schools of the Gin loco-parentiS"
type and the large private acad-
emies where a wider democratic
spirit prevails. Owing, however,
to the wide range of ages found
in the student body, both of these
types of schools are exemplified.
Over the younger boys a close
supervision of a parental nature
is exercised whereas a certain
amount of freedom is allowed the
older boys in order that their
school days may grade into the
larger freedom of college life.
The school indeed furnishes a
carefully planned, carefully con-
Quoted transition from the re-
straining influences of the home
circle to the wider freedom OF
college or university life.

HORSE FEATHERS
 WITH FOUR MARX BROS. IS SHOWN
Merry, Mad Comedy with
 Famous Quartet at Capi- tol Theatre Tonight

The mad, but merry, Four Marx Brothers, specialists in nonsense, are starred in Horse Feathers" fourth of thsir moving pictures which opened yesterday at the Capitol Theatre.
 Horse Feathers like previous Marx Brothers pictures, is sheer foolery, with the bemustached Groucho talking and punning at a terrific rate, slow-moving Chic o answering in Italian dialect and occasionally playing the piano, red wigged Harpo chasing his blondes, and almost-normal Zeppo making love to the ingenue
 In Horse Feathers" however, they have definite roles. Groucho is college president who took that job to get his son, zeppo, out of school, where he had spent twelve years or so. Chico is the village bootlegger and Harpo the village dog-catcher.
 Between them, they manage to tear the college and everything else to pieces.
 Horse Feathers" was written by Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby and s. J. Perelman, noted comedy-makers themselves. Music and lyrics are l,,, Do1,,oor oxJ D,,bx, u,itI, Nory,o,, Mcleod directing Perelman, author of several humorous books, collabo- rated on Monkey Business" a previous Marx Brothers picture, while Ruby and Kalmar, authors of numerous Broadway musical hits, worked on the stage production of Animal Crackers" Mcleod di- rected Monkey Business"

OLD MAGAZINES FOR ECW CAMPS
 ARE SOLICITED
Forest Service Wants Aid in Supplying Men with
 Reading Material

Old magazines, no longer need to be a bane to their housewives of this city. If they want to dis pose of them at once and with out effort on their part, all they need to do is to call Harry Sperl- ing at the United States Forest Service headquarters in the Capi-. tai Building and he will do the rest.
 The Forest Service wants all of the, old magazines they can get to distribute among the several emer- gency construction work camps in this vicinity. There are some ten |of these camps and the demand for reading material is strong and steady.
 The magazines can be taken to the Forest Service offices, or MT Sperling will arrange for their de- posit at some convenient place where they can be picked up for distribution, he said.
 The Emergency Construction Work program is progressing very satisfactorily, it was said today Wellman Holbrook, in charge of the camps from Juneau north, came home Tuesday from Skag- way where he installed a 10-man camp under P. F. White. He left today for the Bear Creek camp to take food and other supplies, and to inspect the trail work there.
 To get additional clothing sup plies, the Ranger VI, Capt. O-t tar Johnson, left today for Chil- koot Barracks. These will be dis tributed free to the workmen in the camps.
 Two men were assigned to Mt. 1 Roberts trail today to brush it out and do other minor repair work on it, Later on similar work will be done on the road to the AL aska Juneau Boarding House.

 am glad to see this race and hope it is held every year. but like the longer distance for de- termining national titles. I have always felt that three miles was the fairest race but as long as the Olympic championship is decided over 2,0O0 meters I guess this re- gatta is right enough.
 So much depends on the start in the sprint events One little slip might put the best crew out. At three miles a good eight can make up for a mistake.

ANNUAL. FOURTH. SMOKER PULLED
 OFF ON O||l M MONDAY !
Sailor McPherson Wins Bout by Technical K.
 O. Over Brubaker

Sailor McPherson showed his col legiate opponent, Brubaker, too much leather in the main. event of the annual Afford John Brad ford Post of the American Legion smoker last Monday night at the Coliseum Theatre, and won the bout by a technical knockout when Brubaker's seconds threw in the towel in the fifth round.
 Brubaker tossed hooks, upper cuts, and haymakers at the gob for three rounds but none would find the vital spot in the Navy's de- fense, and in the fourth round Mo Pherson began to unload few counter punches of his own that did considerable damage McPher- son set a fast pace in the fourth canto which had Brunbaker fast tiring and hanging on. And at the opening of the fifth the towel sail ed in and Referee Billy Franks awarded the sailor the technical K. o. decision. Both boys weigh ed in at 165 pounds.
 Alaska Kid" in Draw
 Jack Vardeen, better known as the Alaska Kid" showed enough stuff to beat Louie Nabalis, his Filipino oponent in the special event, but the judges decreed the bout a draw, much to the dis pleasure of the well-packed house, Vardeen and Nabalis started fast in the first round, each scoring light jabs and feeling each other out This continued until the fourth canto with honors even, and then the Kid" uncorked a barrage of long range blows that drove Ma balls to cover, from which he re- fused to come out of until he was well into his street clothes. Var deen carried the fight in these last two rounds to Nabalis but the little brown battler refused to open up and stayed in his shell until Billy Franks read the judges slips and called it draw.
 Thriller
 The second bout of the evening was thriller. Sammy Nelson, local 150-pounder, and Billy Watson, Hoonah scrapper, piled into each other with all they had for six fast and furious rounds. Nelson earned the decision for his more accurate jabbing and right cross that found it's mark regularly, bu. the Hoonah boy earned a well deserved hand for his ability to absorb punishment and still return few counting blows himself. Nel- son had Watson groggy on two occasions but his eforts to put the native away for keeps were futile. Billy could take it," and still "dish it out" too. The fans applauded both boys vigorously at the end of the scarp
 Ed Nelson met Seidler in the opener of the evenings fisticuffs and the former gained a technical knockout over his lighter rival Nelson weighed in at 1855 pouncs and Seidler at 129.

 SEATTLE, July 5.-One way t make a sap of oneself is to pub. licly pick the winner of a crsv race, let alone phophesy all tn; places i'll a big regatta, but Tn willing to take the chance.
 In the sprint rowing classic a Long Beach, Calif., July and 8, look for Cornell and the University of California at Los Angeles to b Eliminated in the trial heats tn. first day with the finalists to fin. ish in this order:
 Washington; 2-Harvard; B. California; 4-Harvard.
 I don't like to put ourselves 1T the top spot, but I don't see how I can get away from it. It's an un- fortunate position-always chanc; for overconfidsnce.
 Fears Leaders Crew
 The Huskies will have to be al their best, however, to keep aheaC of the Yale outfit. Ed Leader hai a great band of oarsmen, but tn, Bulldogs will have to be fastel than last year if they are to carry the title back to New Haven
 Washington came within 1 IT. seconds of tying the Italian Olym- pic games record of 6 minutes 2i 2-5 seconds for the Long Beacf course when the Huskies defeated California and U. c. L. A. tw' months ago, and we won't be any slower in this next race.
 By the time we reach Long Beach, Yale may have a 5O-5l chance. I understand the Eli GOV cred two miles in 10 minutes, 2. seconds. This is IT seconds bet.el than Washington's best practic, time, but Yale rowed on a rivel while we pulled over still water. Bears Improve Morale
 California will be much bette and may spring a surprise. All ol us will have to watch out for th' Bears. With new men in his boa. Ky Ebright will have a differen sprint and morale.
 Both Harvard and Cornell ar. hard to dope. They use the lon. reach and long layback system be- cause of their three and four-mil races and will have to change theil style for the 2.000-meter regatta.
