SCHOOLS TO SHUT
 DOWN NEXT WEEK
Annual Mid-Winter Vaca- ton Nears = ParOChial
 Institutions to Open

The city's pupils in grammar and high schools had sessions this morning, their first ones since Monday. Not only was this what they call themselves a "swelT week, but the next one will be bet ter, since it is the annual mid-win- ter vacation.
 The closing of sessions to-day marked the beginning of a recess that will extend to Monday, March 5. The next holiday after that will be Good Friday, late in March.
 Not all the schools in the city will have a vacation next week, however, since most of the pa rochial schools, instead of follow ing the eight-week system em- ployed in the public schools, will not have an extended vacation till the Easter season when they will grant 10-day recess beginning the Wednesday of Holy Week.
 Since the city this year is ahead of its required quota in number of days needed to fulfill state re- quirements, the holiday granted because of the storm Tuesday and Wednesday will not have to be made up.

Many Find Rest
And Solitude In
Mountain Cabins

Possibly the favorite way of
spending week-ends in the Land
of the Sky is to go camping. The
region surrounding Henderson
vile is a paradise for the camp
err. either out in the open or IN
cabins and lodges.
There are thousands of cabins
for rent by the day, week or
month in the IS counties that
comprise Western North Carolina
There are clusters of tourist camp
cabins, colonies Of larger cabins
which cannot be seen from the
highways and a number of eiab,
crate lodges which may be rented
from agencies in HendersonUlle
or by inquiry along the roads:
Natives of Western North Car
DINA usually spend every week
end possible in privately owned or
rented cabins. No one favorlte
cabin area can be named, since
cabins are everywhere, ranging IN
altitude from 1000 to 5000 feet
near highways or deep in the for

DIRECTS CIVIC ACTIVITIES

One of Hendersonvlle'c most
outstanding citizens who has done,
and is doing, much to promote the
progress of this community is
Noah Hollowell, secretary of the
Hendersonville Chamber of Com
merce.
In this capacity, Mr.. Hollowell
never misses an opportunity to be
of service to the public, and to
lend his aid to any project design
ed to upbuild Hendersonville and
Henderson county. ..... ..
A native of Chowan county,
where he was born on a farm,
Mr.. Hollowell received his early
education at one-teacher public
school, later attending a private
school at Belvidere. He was fore
ed to leave this school on account
of i'll health, and accepted posi-
ton as a reporter on an Aiken, 5.
c., newspaper.
From Aiken Mr.. Hollowell came
to Hendersonville, where he &C
cepted a position on The Daily
Herald, which was launched here
during the summer of 1908.
Mr.. Hollowell then took bust
ness course at Mars Hill. and fol-
lowing this he served with former
Congressman James NJ. Gudger of
Asheville, during one of his sue
cessful campaigns for congress.
He then was associated with
Charles A. Webb, who at that
time was practicing law and spe-
cializing in bonds at Asheville.
Mr.. Hollowell later became as
sistant secretary of the Western
North Carolina Fair association,
and afterwards served as journal
clerk in the North Carolina SEN
ate during the 1913 session.
Re-entering newspaper work,
Mr.. Hollowell served as a report
er on The Asheville Citizen, and
a Henders0nville paper. In 1916
he purchased The Sylvan Valley
News. at Brevard, which he con-
verified into the Brevard News and
operated for two years.
He then purchased The French
Broad Hustler, and changed its
name to The Hendersonville News.
He published this paper until its
consolidation with The Hender-
sonville Times in February, 1927.
He found it difficult, however,
to stay away frepT the newspaper
profession. and for q time he putt
i:hed HoIlowell'S Mountain Fsrm-
o.. = publication devoted I" the
upouilding Of finn work in this
section.
He gave up Chis work upon the
insistence of his many friends
here and accepted the position of
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce.
Mr.. Hollowell has been called
the connecting link between the
business and agricultural life Of
the community. He always stands
ready to aid the farmers in any
of their problems, and is leader
in any enterprise which will aid
agriculture. He was one of the
prime movers and president of
the Henderson County Truck
Growers association, which was
the first organization to ship Hen
derson county truck products to
other sections.
At present, in addition to his
work as secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce, Mr.. Hollowell is
director of relief and CWA activ-
tiles in Henderson county, XII

Hopes for further trade and indus

Chicago, Nov. 10.-(P)-Evening-up
of accounts SO as to prepare for q
double holiday helped give firmness
to wheat values Saturday.
Upturns of prices, however, brought
in profit-taking sales, with the re-
suit that wheat gains were confined
to narrow limits. Forecasts pointed
to showers and warme, weather in
Argentina over the weekend, and
were construed as likely to increase
the spreading Of rust.
Wheat closed firm at the same as

oats unchanged to Il advance, and

market at times to we'll above 500

May also lowering around $l.OO.
Moderate buying here for houses with
eastern connections was in evidence,
and Winnipeg messages said offer

exporters. Talk was current that be-
cause of q reduction of Canadian rail-
road freight rates much enlarged
export business in wheat through At

appeared probable.
Corn traders gave particular at
tention to assertions of likelihood that
