ested in the North Carolina rural cleo
trification law, enacted by the 1885
General Assembly, and under which
more than 1000 miles of rural electric
lines have either been built or au-
thorized, it was learned today from
David S. Weaver, professor of agri-
cultural engineering in the extension
division Of State College, who is also
secretary of the North Carolina Rural
Electrification Authority Prof Weav-
er, incidentally, did a great deal of
the preliminary survey work for the
original rural identification commits
sion appointed by Governor j. C. B.
Ehringhaus and of which Dr. Clar-
ence Poe was chairman, which proved
the way for the enactment of the 1885
law and the establishment of the pre-

largely at the request. of the North

OTHERS VIEWS
AT WOMANS COLLEGE

To the Editor:
1 should like to write a few words
to the alumnae of Woman's College,
Greensboro.
So many of us a!3mnae would like
to go back to Alma Mater oftener
than we do. They tell me in the
Alumnae office that perhaps 1 hold
the record for dropping in when in
the city or passing through. On
Monday of this week I was near there
on business, going over for an over
night call, visiting my young cousins,
Ruth Gill and Ruth Jenkins, of Frank
linton.
The "old girls" will be interested
to hear that the charter members of
the faculty still there are as fine and
loyal as ever. DR.. and Mrs. j. I.
Foust are spending the winter in
Florida, E. j. Forney and Miss Mary
Petty are as full of spirit as ever, both
still in harness in their respective
field; Miss Minnie Jamison holds the
position now of Social Secretary, hav-
ing her office in the Students Build
ing; DR.. Gore still presides graci-
ously in the Infermary, being asso-
ciate physician now; Mrs. Charles D.
McIver, an invalid now in wheel
chair, still loves the "old girls" as
we'll as the new deal girls" and ap-
preciates a call from any of US.
The browning event of my morning
tour on Tuesday morning Miss Laura
Cab took me all over the beautiful
Alumnae Building, now almost COM
pleted and in process of being furn-
ished, explaining in loving fashion
and proud, all the halls, reception
rooms, suites of bedrooms, single
guest rooms, rooms for various publ
cations, rooms for Alumnae Board

Nov. 20, 1858-Selma Lagerlof was

she was taking examinations to be a

her own teacher believed she could

Her novels are regarded as models

every language. That instructor must
