A READER PROTESTS
Dear Sir:
In a recent column you had
a very interesting but also un-
fair account Of how movie stars
had come to grief because they
had not taken care Of their
money or had fought for better
terms.
You contented yourself with
simply pointing out that these
stars had been unwiSe in ex-
penditures, forgetting appar-
emily that being gifted with
dramatic talent does not also
imply business talent, nor also
did you give any sympathetic
thought to the fact that these
stars are often young people
hardly to be blamed for being
"taken in" by the sharks that
naturally flock around them.
Nor did you even imply that
there may be something noble
in the courage shown in fight
ing entrenched and selfish in
terests. James Cagney. for In.
stance, has probably lost money,
but he has retained his self re-
spect. Bette LAWS seems on the
way to do the sar.e thing.
1 have never written letter
to a dramatic editor before, but
am sure that many people feel
as / do, that o really fine movie
actor or actress (they are very
rare, I know is entitled to q
percentage Of profit equal to
that enjoyed by the companies
which exploit them. The stars
period of popularity is short, at
the best. They should be given
a fair break for that period.
Sincerely yours,
Ell. MURRAY.
Well, we like to get letters. One
of our most cherished beliefs is
that subscribers like to read the
opinions of other subscribers and
we further believe that subscribers
like to see the editor get Smacked
occasionally. You may believe it or
not, but we enjoy it ourselves.
In this case, however, we believe
that Reader Murray'S chastise-
ment of us is !Indeserved. Editor
Andrew r. Kelley, who wrote the
column, is now vacationing, but
we have reread Mr.. KeilSJs piece
in the light Of Mr.. Murray'S letter.

" j. C.. baskerville.


Raleigh, May 5.-Both the people
generally and the school teachers are
enthusiastic over the State-supported
eight months school term in the west
ern counties of the State, Lloyd E.
Griffin, executive secretary of the
State School Commission said today,
following a trip in which he visited
almost every county from Rutherford
on west. Griffin, accompanied by
Claude F. Gaddy, assistant secretary
Of the commission in charge of trans
pOrtatiOn, spent most of last week on
a "gct acquainted" trip through the
western counties, since Griffin had
not visited these counties since he
became head of the commission.
ut was one of the pleasantest trips
I have ever taken in North Carolina,
since instead of hearing kicks and
complaints, we heard commentator
and praise for the present school law
and the manner in which it is being
administered" Griffin said. 'Most of
the people in these western counties
say the schools are, better now than
they have ever been and admit that If
the State had not taken them over
when it did, many of the schools
would have been forced to close. They
readily agree that they now have bet
ter schools, better teachers, better
transportation and longer term
than ever beforehand that their
taxes are much less than before the
State took over the support Of the
schools without levying any property
taxes.
'"The county superintendent, prin-
cipals and teachers are also pleased
with the State-supported school sys-
tenn, they told us. First because since
it went into effect that they have re-
ceived their pay promptly and on
time at the end breach month, where
under the old system of state and
county support they frequently had
to wait months until the taxes were
