CLUB NOTES

Discussion At Rising Sun To Bring oui
Common Canning Difficulties And
Possibilities For Better Products
Miss Pearl Macdonald Of Newark
is convinced that home canning
might be a source Of pin miney ii
club members with gardens would
put up extras when canning for their
own use, Special attention, however
must be given to pack and attractive
packaging Of the product in order to
interest buyers. A meeting has been
arranged for Thursday, April 30. al
the Rising Sun Club House to dis
cuss these possibilities. Jars Of meat,
fruits and vegetables will be brought
by club members to be judged for
quality. Suggestions will be made to
make the product more attractive II
members desire to sell their product
or exhibit at fairs.
This meeting will be of particular
interest to all who already know
how to can. The beginner may also
get instructions since the entire
canning process will be discussed
by Miss Macdonald and common
difficulties explained.
This meeting will start promptly
at 2 o'clock. An yinterested person
is invited to attend. This is the Sec
Ond meeting on Pin Money Possibil-
tiles that Miss Macdonald has held
this year. A third one on attractive
packaging of iellies. jams and mar
malades will be held In June.

thousands of bales already sold here.
Picking is well advanced, and in a

of the staple in their machines this
fall.
Henderson merchants, moreover,
have given their cooperation to the
years drive to boost the city as a
marketing center for both tobacco
and cotton, and have supported the
campaign in every way, They have
also prepared themselves to furnish
all possible cooperation, too, to grow

fore Judge Sink and in which he rul-
ed that the safety division acted ac-
cording to the law and ordered the

Gardner Backs Program.
!. Accordingly, the opinion general in
many informed circles here Is that
President Frank F.. Graham is going
to meet with much less than the us
ual opposition to the appropriation
which he will ask for and that the
outlook is better for the University
now than it has been in eight years.
There are also indications that the
new administration will se very SYM
pathetic towards the University and
that little or no opposition will come
from that source. It Is even going the
rounds here that former Governor o.
Max Gardner, during whose admins
tration the appropriation for the Uni
versity was cut to the bone and whose
name was and has been mud on the
Chapel Hill campus ever since, w
this time be out in front among the
University alumni asking and work
ing for an increased appropriation
1t is understood that former Cover
nor Gardner, who is brother-in-law
Of Governor-elect Clyde r. Hoey, is
now convinced that the University
has been held down long enough and
that it is very necessary for it's fu-
ture development that a larger ap-
preparation be provided for the next
two years.
Duke Forging Ahead.
There are two factors which have
brought about the change in attitude
towards the University, and especially
the Chapel Hill unit, more than any
thing else according to observers here
These two factors are:
I. The growth of Duke University,
both in size and prestige, with the
result that it is regarded as already
greatly affecting the prestige of the
University, and competing with it for
students. a
2. The unusual growth and develop
ment of the smaller UNCONVENTIONAL
colleges in the State, especially Wake
Forest and Davidson, to the extent
where they are becoming active and
dangerous competators of the Univer-
sity.
Was Jealousy for While.
For number of years the concern
with which Chapel Hill watched the
development of Duke was attributed
ty great many merely to jealousy
and to the University's feeling of SUI
periority to the tobacco university"
in the town made famous by Bull
Durham" and the other brands which
made millions for the Duke family.

that the State provide more of these
