RALEIGH, Jan. 2. (UP)-The
Department of Labor has. COM
pleted q. year of service and
achievement that I am immensely
proud Of. We have not accom-

but the record will show sub
stantial progress toward all of our
detectives. .'-.
Early in the year, the North
Carolina, Industrial code entitled
"Rules and Regulations Govern
ing Work, Places and WORKING
Conditions" was completed, after
more than two years of expert
ment and study. 1t was duly pro-
mulgated, in accordance with. the
law and is now in full force and
effect in North Carolina. Every
rule has been worked out care
fully, with due regard to the wei
fare of the worker and the rights
of the employer, and the depart
ment is experiencing no Difficult
tv, in the field of enforcement.
Briefly slated, the record shows
the following activities by the
various divisions of the depart

g Introduction .....
Luke. begins his Gospel on the
note with which the Old Testa-
ment closes. The last two verses
of Malachi {4.5, g.. are approach
ing their fulfillment in this first
chapter of Luke Tvs. III. Four
hundred years have passed since
the voice of Malachi foretold the
coming of the new day when the
Lord should suddenly appear in
his temple preceded by his mes
senger. These were tragic and
transforming years for the Jews,
but the hope of Israel had not
died amid these sore trials. When
the canon of the Old Testament
comes to a close the Jews are un-
der Persian rule, but the Period
of Persia is swiftly drawing to its
end. In 33l B. C. Alexander the
Great defeats Darius in the battle
at Arbela and the Greek Period
is ushered in. After the death of
Alexander in 32S B. c. his king
dom was divided among his gen.
erals with the result that Pales-
tine was annexed to Egypt. After
more than a century it was an
nexed to Syria, under which rule
the Jews suffered horrible perse-
cutions and the Temple was de-
filed and dishonored. 1t became,
the fixed purpose of the Syrian
king, Antioehus Epiphanes, to
crush out Judaism. This severe
and heartless persecution brought
about the glorious Maccabean Pc
Rod (l67-63 B. c.. The Macca-
bees were a priestly family who
overcame the Syrians in battle,
thus securing Jewish independ-
ence and the re-establishment of
the Jewish religion. In SO B. C.;
the Roman Period begins by Pom
pegs capture of Jerusalem. In
az R C., as a result of Roman
control, Herod the Idumaean ED
omite) became king and relgned
until his death in B. C.. All stu
dents of the Bible should acquaint
themselves with this period be-
tween the Testaments. When we
enter the New Testament from
tn Old it is like coming into a new
world. There is so much there
that we have not seen or heard
of before. These new things arise
out of this four-hundred-year pc
Rod. Josephus tells the story Of
these years in a most interesting

Theatre Monday and Tuesday. Based
on the book, Cecil Rhodes" by
Sarah Gertrude Millin, the panorama
of the South African diamond fields
and the jungle veldt is brought to
the screen in all its vivid and thrilling
drama.
No vehicle was better suited to
Walter Huston's varid talents, and
in Rhodes he adds fresh laurels to
his already outstanding and enviable
record on stage and screen. His
portrayal is brilliant in its careful
rendering Of the characteristics of
Cecil Rhodes-his majesty, his persua-
sive personality, his forcefulness, his
power.
The story recounts the dynamic
career of a man, given but six
months to live, who lived to create
a fabulously wealthy empire out of
uncivilized jungle. Rhodes struggle
for mastery against the savage
Matabele warriors, the forces of re-
action at home, and the crusty and
bluff patriarch Paul Kruger, presi-

picture.

his choice Tor CHAIRMAN.
Fewer names than usual are De-
ing mentioned as inc possible cholce
of Mr.. Hoey and the committee TOT
State chairman this time. Most OF
the political prognosticators here
however, agree that the new chair
man will probably come from the east
and be an "originaT Hoey man, mean
ing that he supported Mr.. Hoey IN
both the first and second primaries.
But they are having good deal OF
trouble finding any outstanding rock
ribbed Hoey supporters in the east
of the calibre and ability needed Tor
a State chairman and party cam
paign manager, since most OF the
eastern counties went overwhelming
ly for DR.. Ralph w. Mcdonald in
the second primary or for Sandy Gra-
ham and DR.. Mcdonald in the first.
AS a result, many observers, here be-
lieve that Mr.. Hoey is going to have
a rather difficult task in trying to
find an outstanding man in the east
with the Statewide acquaintance and
following needed to qualify him for
chairman of the State. executive COM
mittee. A good many are inclined to
believe that it would be good policy
as we'll as good politics to select as
chairman a man who supported Ora
ham in the first primary and Hoey in
the second, in order to assure greater
harmony between these two, groups.
Most observers here doubt if Mr..
Hoey will forsake the old tradition I'm
der which only dyed-in-the-wool "or-
iginaP supporters have ever been
named as State chairmen.
Among those whose names are be-
ing mentioned as in line for the State
craftsmanship are Ben Parham, of
Oxford; E. G.. Flanagan, of Green
Vile; Terry Lyon, Of Fayetteville; j.
M. Broughton, Of Raleigh; Reg. L.
Harris, of Roxboro, and several 9TH
ers. But of these, most observe
here are inclined to thing that Par
ham has better chance at being
chairman than any of those others.
It is pointed cut that for many years
Parham has been a power in the
inner councils of the party, especial
ly in the east, that he has always
rated we'll with the more conserva-
| tive wing, to which Mr.. Hoey adj
mittedly belongs, but that he has al
so always had the goodwill and con-
fidence of the younger and more lib
eral element. 1t is further pointed
cut that although Parham has been
regarded as belonging to the more
conservative wing of the party, he
was always able to remain on friend

While Ed Flanagan is we'll known
over the State, especially in the
east, the fact that he has been nomi-
