HAS HONORED NAME
IN STATES HISTORY

Well versed in the intricacies
of the law and deeply impressed
with the dignity, responsibilities.
and duties of his office as judge
of the eighteenth judicial district,
Judge Schenck has achieved sue
cess in law and in affairs which
justifies his inheritance of one Of
the most honored names in North
Carolina.
Judge Schenck was born in Lin
coin county December II, 1915,
the son of David and Sallie
Wilfong (Ramseur) Schenck, de-
scendants from Swiss ancestors
who were exiled because of their
undaunted adherence to the prin-
ciples of religious freedom. For
three generations, the Schencks
lived in Lancaster, Pa, where, on
the invitation Of William Penn,
they first settled after coming to
this country.
Judge Schenck's great grand
father, Michael Schenck, End,
moved to North Carolina and set
tied at Lincolnton in 1890. He
was the first man to erect q cot
ton mill south of the Potomac
river. The mill prospered and was

FEAR REPAVINC
WOULD RETARD
BUSINESS HERE
Merchants Ask Officials to
Seek Postponement OF
Main Street Job

Although bids were to have
been opened May Is at Raleigh
for the contract to repave Main
street in Hendersonville, officials
of the city and of the Chamber
of Commerce were without defl-
mite information today regarding
the plans of the state highway
department in this connection.
Mayor A. V. Edwards and Milo
w. Strong. president of the
Chamber of Commerce, said they
had received many protests, prin-
cipally from merchants, against
tearing up Main street at the
outset of the tourist season, and
that they agreed that the project
should be postponed If possible.
Mayor Edwards said he was in.
vestigating a report that Reed
and McAbee, Asheville firm whose
bid on the repaving OF Seventh
avenue, was the lowest of several
submitted on May 9, also was the
low bidder on the Main street
lob, and that if such were true
he would request that the work
not be started until fall. In seek
ing postponement, however, May
or Edwards said he would seek
to avoid doing anything that
might cause the project to be
abandoned altogether. The money
for the Main street and Seventh
avenue work was allocated from
fund of S725,0S7 set aside by
the federal roads bureau for
similar improvements throughout
North Carolina.
Local merchants fear that be-
ginning of the Main street repay
ing anytime soon would cause the
work to extend far into the tour
list season and would seriously re-
tard business. A majority appar-
emily prefer that repairs alone
be undertaken now.
Meanwhile, work in progress
on sewer and water lines on
Seventh avenue under the direc-
ton of the county relief office.
Car tracks from Main street to
the Southern railway were torn
up last week, and about two more
weeks will be required to COM
plete the water and sewer lines,
it was estimated. Just how soon
the repaving work will be started
can not be determined, but the
contractors are under instruc-
Itions to complete it as soon as
possible. This project comprises
81 of a mile and will represent
an expenditure of $17,91S.SO for
repaving.

There is one critic who always
manages to get to the first assem-
bling of a Harold Lloyd picture
wherever it is made.
This practice hardly can be con-
sidered breach of tradition, in
view of the fact that the critic is
Mrs. Harold Lloyd.
Now that Harold is dedicated
definitely to new kind Of comedy
Characterization in The Cats Paw"
the buffooning boy grown older and
wiser though no less funny, he needs
the counsel of his wife more than
ever.
Il felt like the fellow who invites
his sweetheart to his first college
dramatic venture when l insisted
that Mildred appear at the first
filming of the new picture" Lloyd
said.
Against the advice of almost
every one, except the author of The
Cats Paw and a few others, l
buried the past screen characterize
ton, saving only pair of horn
trimmed glasses and little more"
Lloyd's departure into the fresh
comic venture is in direct line with
his philosophy of life and work.
Born in Denver, the Lloyd family
moved to Beatrice, Neb, when Har-
old was lad of 9. His father was
not doing we'll so he and his mother
opened a popcorn stand and he sold
while his mother popped the corn.
Later, the family had saved
enough in this way for them to re-
turn to Denver, and Harold, like
many another American millionaire,
bought a Newspaper route-from the
Denver Post-acting in stock when
the occasion offered.
In 1911, Lloyd played the part OF
an Indian in his first motion pic
ture. His script called for grunt
and a couple of fine feathers, and
! that was about all.
Family troubles, however, forced
the young Lloyd to abandon picture
hopes and go back to other work
Then Harold's father suggested that
he return to Hollywood and there
was the Edison company, in their
new quarters.
He got extra roles on the strength
of his veteran Indian part and
shortly thereafter met another eX-
ira named Hal Roach, then at the
Universal lot.
With characteristic spunk the
young actor decided to go into the
film business by himself. He had
been raised to SIS a day, but knew
that was the high in extra roles, and
Roach soon inherited a few hundred
dollars, making the venture possible.
The two producers worked hard
and interested Pathe in their one
reelers, in which Harold evolved the
