TALENTED PLAYERS
FOR SCHOOL GROUP
Young People Give Good
Account of Themselves
In Comedy Play

Fifteen boys and girls, students in
the Henderson high school, displayed
real talent in presenting the three
act comedy, New Fires. on the stage
at the new high school auditorium
Tue day evening. 1t was the first
student play to be presented in the
new building, and was attended by a
host of parents and students.
The play was under the direction
of Mrs. j. M Pigford and Miss Shan
non Morton, of the high school fac
ulty, and net proceeds went to the
benefit of the school library.
1t appeared that the players were
well chosen for the particular parts
assigned them, and all of them enter
ed into the spirit Of their roles in a
manner that added greatly to the
success of the performance.
To do justice to all of them the
entire fifteen would have to be
named They have been named be-
fore and those present saw them A
most difficult role, however, was TAX
en- by Rudolph Passavant in the role
Of Stephen Santry, an author, the
leading character. His part required
the most work in memorizing, but all
of the participants had plenty to do
in that respect.
The costuming was carried out ap-
propriately to the characters, all of
whom revealed splendid training and
much above the average talent seen
in ordinary presentations of the kind.
Graham Jordan as the small son of
Santry injected perhaps as much wit
and humor into the production as any
Of the players
The audience was much pleased
with the work Of all the players, and
the fact that they gave their program
only a few evenings after the APP
pearance of the famed Carolina PLAY
makers did not in the least take any
of the shine off their work.
During the intermission, Miss Mir
lam Pinnell appeared at the front of
the stage to thank the two faculty
members for their assistance and di-
rection, and also the audience for
Nte\aing. Those attending hoped
that the high school folks would give
them the added pleasure at some con-
venient future date of another and
still another performance of this high
order.

Raleigh, Nov. 25.-The conviction of
Max Greenstein, operator of the Kin
ston Shirt Company, Kinston, for
violation of the State labor laws limit
ing the working hours for women to
IS hours a week and prohibiting the
working of girls under Is years old
after nine o'clock at night, was ap-
plauded here today ;cy Commissioner
Of Labor A. L. Fletcher, Greenstein
was convicted on charges brought by
Forrest H. Shuford, chief inspector
for the State Department of Labor
Testimony brought out at the trial
showed that a 17-year-old employee
had worked SO hours in one week for
wages of only eight cents an hour. 1t
was also brought out that other girl
employees had worked more than IS
hours a week and for equally low pay
and that some Of the girls less than
10 years of age had been required to
work after nine o'clock at night,
which is in violation of the State
labor laws.
Fortunately, we do not have many
industries in North Carolina like this
one, since most of the manufacturers
in the State observe the labor laws"
Commissioner Fletcher said. Most of
the manufacturers also pay their en-
ployes a living wage, although we
have no State laws regulating wages
But in the past year or so we have
been having more and more trouble
as the result Of the establishment of
sweatshop industries, like this shirt
factory in Kinston. Most of these have
been established by persons who have
come from other states where state
laws made it impossible for them to
operate. But we are going to make it
impossible for them. to operate here
unless they conform to the State labor
laws
Commissioner Fletcher has already
warned cities and towns in the State
to beware of these small, sweatshop
industries, many of which are seek
ing locations in North Carolina and
other southern states, especially if
the cities and towns will provide them
with factory space, free lights, water
and taxes.

Js
Raleigh, Nov. 25.-There is no set
schedule for soil conservation pay
ments in North Carolina and county
lines will have nothing to do with
these payments, j. F. Criswell, chief
of the field office of the soil conser-
walton work in North Carolina, locat-
ed here said today. A few trial ap-
plications have been put through
from several counties and sent on to
Washington to test out the procedure
to be followed, Criswell said But so
far very few applications have been
filed. The ones that have been filed
have been sent on to Washington as
soon as examined and approved and
payments have been made direct from
Washington.
aside from the few trial applica-
items which have been sent through
and which were selected at random
over the State in order to test out
the machinery which has been set up
to handle these applications, we DO
not expect to start sending through
any very large number of applications
until late in December and in jan
uary," Criswell said. "These will be
sent on to Washington without any
regard to what counties they may be
from, just as rapidly as they are re-
ceived here. They will then De checked
again in Washington and as fast as
they are examined and found to be
correct the checks will be made out

Mayor Irvine B. Watkins said today
that in the development program at

Chaotic Conditions

This is going to be hectic year for po-
litical parties. Democrats and republic
cans are already belaboring each other
with everything handy. And to compli-
cate matters for the two major parties an
up-and-coming third party in the form OF
the NUSJ-backed union party Is pecking
away right and left and wooing away vot-
ers by the thousands. At least we pre-
sumo the party is, If we are to believe
what we read and hear. OF course 1t Is
political wisdom not to count vote I'M
til it is registered on the machine or the
paper ballot.
Right here in Connecticut merry lit
tie battle will be waged with the demo-
Gratis resolved to hold the ground they
have gained in the past six years under
Gov. Wilbur L. Cross. Republicans again
are making a last-ditch fight and count
heavily on the influence of the Landon-
Knox ticket, plus NUSJ strength in the
state, to overthrow both Roosevelt, Cross
and every other democratic off1ce-holder
And now comes the spectacle of divided
socialist party in Connecticut. That's I'M
usual, but very political.
OF recent years the socialist party in
Connecticut has been very much McLevy.
The stalwart mayor of Bridgeport has
been the gubernatorial candidate time
and again. Even when holding the may
or's Office In Bridgeport he ran for gov
ernor. That was two years ago. He was
expected to be the candidate Of the party
again this fall. And he undoubtedly will
be, but it won't be Of united socialist
party, for at the convention In Hartford
last week the so-called right wing group
Of the socialists decided to strike out for
itself.
Mayor McLevy and his followers will 60
their way; the left-wings under the guild
ance of Devore Allen Of Wilton will 60
theirs. We don't think the twain will
meet. We doubt If this will mean much
in the total figures Of the socialist vote in
the state. It might influence the vote in
Bridgeport, where socialist legislators
are now elected to both Senate and
House. But more than that 1t Is going to
mean to fight to see which division Of
the party gets recognition from the Sec
rotary of the State SO that place for the
socialist ticket may be found on the vot-
ing machines. That's where the fight
will come, not over the number Of votes
for the party:

As Maine Goes .

:. Well, here's the golden opportunity
for Chairman John D. Hamilton and his
cohorts to whoop it up for dear old Maine.
The popular index finger of the nation
has been pointed and it's not at President
Franklin D. Roosevelt. If this were the
handwriting on the wall it might throw
CONSERVATION into national democratic
ranks, but in crucial year like this, the
opposite effect could easily be achieved.
Republicans gambled all on Maine. Why?
How many times has it gone democratic
since the Civil War? How many times has
it gone democratic since the beginning Of
this century?
Despite all the figures and the facts, the
only time that we recall Maine predicting
a democratic victory was "a years ago.
That republicans were bound that the
opposite result should obtain yesterday
was apparent all last week. And the
decision to send Governor ALT M. Landon
as Candidate Landon into Maine on the
eve of the election was in itself striking
proof that the powers that be in the
g. o. p. were counting heavily on Maine
to strike terror into the hearts OF the
democrats.
We doubt very much if even the victory,
complete as it was, will do that. Demo-
Gratis will naturally feel sorry to see that
sterling votegetter, Governor Louis J.
Brann, set back in his quest for the U. S.
senatorship by the republican incumbent
When you come right down to 1t, that was
the only brand that was hoped to be
suatched from the fire. The margin of
republican victory here was not great,
but it was sufficient. Maine has spoken;
it remains to be seen whether her
defamation will be heard throughout the
nation

They are the traffic victims. II their toll
increases during the latter part OF the
year, as it usually does, then the casualty
list will be higher this year than ever
before. Last year $1,000 died, probably q
greater cost in life than the Spanish
revolt told to date.
This in spite of widespread safety drives
and q mass of publicity for highway
safety that has not been equaled in many
wears. Get what Solace you can from
the thought that this increased toll
probably is due primarily to more cars on
the roads. Gasoline consumption was up
10 per cent in May as compared to a year
ago, and traffic is probably up in proper
ton. Your own observation of tourists
and traffic in town will verify this.
Statistical sharks figure that the
deaths per 100000 gallons Of gasoline
used have actually leSSened somewhat,
which is hopeful. But the fact that GER
tain states have made marked reduc-
lions in their traffic toll augurs badly for.
the others. New Hampshire, for instance,
reports 81 per cent reduction. That
means that somebody else is falling down
on the job.
Tentative figures do tend to show that
states which have rigid drivers license
laws have been leaders in reducing their
auto toll, since those laws make it cas-
Ter to get obviously dangerous drivers
off the streets. But, in the long run, the
law won't settle the problem. It can't.
Nobody can make genuine dent in the
slaughter of the innocents except you,
and you, and you. The man behind the
wheel is the one who holds in his hands
life and death, not only for himself, but
for others.

Super-Locomotive

What may prove to be the locomotive
of the future is being built for the Union
Pacific Railroad. AS might be expected, it
is an electric engine, but not entirely so.
1t will not take power from trolley line
or a third rail, for it is also steam
engine. And in this, too, 1t sets a new
type for railroading. Fuel oil burners
produce steam for a turbine, and the
turbine turns the dynamo that drives the
wheels. 1t is big, powerful, complex,
mobile power plant, producing 5000
horsepower and capable Of making ITO
miles an hour on level track.
Great economies are promised for this
monster. 1t will burn oil more economi-
cally than usual, and for steam will use
the same distilled water over and over,
by means of condensers, making 1t indie
pendent of water tov'c1--s and insur1ng
long life for its boilers. It should need no
help getting over the mountains with q
big train. Such prime mover" isn't
necessarily confined to rails. We may yet
see the same power-plant principle used
in big trucks and buses. Steam isn't
necessarily obsolete for automotive pur-
poses.

Father Charles Coughlin Is
planning to add a school to his
ornate stone Shrine Of the Little
Flower, at Royal Oak, Mich. 1t
will be built with contributions
from his radio followers.

his parishioners the other Sun

funds to buy the necessary ground.

purpose.

Of the remarkable things about
his Shrine. On the usher staff
there are four nom Catholics.
This Is unusual In q Catholic
church.
The Shrine Of the Little Flow
er, with its aix-story, cross-shaped
stone tower, was built by Father
Coughlin after the burning Of his
original wooden church. 1t Is the
priests first conviction that the
fire was incendiary, started by
Klansmen.
Several years before he zoomed
into the public eve, q "fiery cross
was burned one night IN the
churchyard.
NFather Coughlin was in the rear
living quarters, when @ friendly
neighbor rushed into warn him.
The priest ran out In his shirt
sleeves and with the aid Of peo-
pie In the neighborhood pulled
down the burning cross, which
was threatening to set fire to
his church.

One good result of the traffic study sur
vey in Waterbury may be the decrease
of automobile insurance rates, now the
highest in this state, if not in all states.
Waterbury and immediate vicinity have
suffered too long from these high rates
not to do something about it when the
opportunity is afforded. Certainly study
Of the traffic problems of any city should
be a good index to the cause for high IN
surar1ce rates. We know that 1t isn't
because the topography of the city is SO
billy that so many accidents occur here.
AS matter of fact the number OF acct
dents locally Is not above the average
for city this size. It's just a pit unfor-
tunate that the accident claim frequency
is higher. Whether or not a study OF traf-
fic regulations and conditions Will MT at
this point remains to be seen.

It may be many years before It can be
shown Just what purpose the Hole has
served in the last few years. This govern.
ment agency was created as means OF
preventing loss of property by many
persons throughout the United States: It
enabled them to make Uncle Sam the
mortgagor instead of private persons or
concerns, But once good old Uncle Sam
had shouldered the burden, too many
property owners decided that, If foreign
nations could repudiate their debts, why
couldn't they? They proceeded to do this
very thing and Uncle Sam became a
heavy property holder A fine purpose was
thus frustrated.
