gathered to cook their supper and
hold a Council fire. Fires were built
in the large stone fireplaces in the
cabin and outside where weenies,
hamburgers, angels on horseback"
and other things were cooked only to
disappear with magic speed.
At $50 o'clock the Scouts gathered
in the cabin for the program. Troop
1 opened the program with very
impressive candle lighting ceremony.
Two Scouts lighted large candle for
each troop and the other members
lighted a small birthday candle from
the troop candle until the oath birth

DORSEY GETS NEW
WPA ADVANCEMENT
Made District Head To Sue
coed Whitley, Who Gives
Up The Place

E. c. Dorsey, of Henderson, has
been appointed supervisor of District
No. 3, of the State Works Progress
Administration by George Coan, Jr.
State administrator, to succeed Philip
r. Whitley, of Wendell, who has re-
signed. Announcement was made to-
day of the appointment, which was or
derad late Friday on the retirement
of Mr.. Whitley.
Mr. Dorsey has been in the relief
work set-up for three years, becom-
ing connected first with the old CWA
when it operated in the county in
1888. Later he was associated with the
ERA when that succeeded the CWA,
and then was made district super
visor of the ERA with headquarters
here, and with several counties in this
section under his direction.
Afterwards, when the ERA was
abridged and the offices here curtail-
ed, Mr.. Dorsey was transferred to Ra-
leigh in the WPA office, where ne
has been an assistant since. His pro-
motion at this time carries consider
ably greater authority and at the
same time a boost in salary, it is I'M
derstood.
Coming into the county relief or
ganization here three years ago with
out political connections or great poll
teal activity, Mr.. Dorsey has been
steadily advanced to his new position
which is only a step under Mr.. Coan
as State administrator His advance
ment is taken by his friends here to
indicate promotion on the basis OF
merit and because of close attention
to duty and fitness for the respon-
sibility of the office.

Weather Is Good
For Tobacco Beds
Over This County

Weather conditions for the past
week have been, generally speaking
favorable to the progress of tobacco
seedbeds lately planted in the county
although, of course, there has not yet
been time for the sprouting OF any
plants
All of the seedbeds are, as usual,
covered with plantbed cloth to protect
them from the weather. The danger
of frost, which might be disastrous
to them, has not passed, but the cloth
coverings would serve as a shield ana
protection.
Most growers have put in plantbeds
of sufficient size and extent to supply
all of their needs for the years crop
unless there should be plague OF
pests or exceedingly unfavorable
weather to blight the prospects.

sue of craft VS.. industrial unions. If
John Lewis group, who are fighting
for the latter, win, labor will be in a
sounder strategical position than at
any time in recent years. In the mean
time, organized labor will not miss
this golden opportunity to build mem
bership.
More and more arrangements are
realizing that the employers market
for labor (the market for intelligent
labor) is now waning and sooner or
later an employees market will re-
turn. Newspapers daily carry reports
of longer vacations, higher wages, and
even a few reinstatements of bonus
and profit-sharing systems. Regard
less, however, of these benefits to la
Dor, the fundamental issues remain.
The Supreme Courts recent decision
must stand for the time being; but, if
necessary, the Federal Constitution
should be amended to make some
forms of social legislation legal. Of
course, two shifts in the personnel of
the court could make a tremendous
difference in the cornerstones of our
constitutional law.

Inasmuch as 1 was born and reared

This latest decision, however, was a
great disappointment to me. Thous-

thoughts concerning previous high

disfavor: The unsatisfactory five-to-
four opinion has given laisor legisla-
ton a damaging right-to-the-jaw and
may eventually have serious roper
cussions. This New York law-unlike
the NRA-was carefully prepared and
well administered. It was not a sweep

threats of "crack-downs." It gave the
administering body discretion to set a
"fair and reasonable" minimum COM

service rendered.
