Head OF States Liquor
Board Long 4 7eetotaIer
CutIar Moore of Lumber
ton Is War Veteran and
Business Man
By WALTER DUSTMANN

Raleigh. June 3.-U.P,-Cutlar
Moore of Lumberton. new head ol
the state liquor control commits
sion. secs nCthing unusual IN the
fact that North Cardinals rank
ing liquor executive is a teetoIaler.
To him. the job is simply a task
TO which he mus: apply efficiency
and execut We ability. The fact
that he has not taken drink OF
Houor for 10 years. he reasons,
certa My should be no handicap
TO performance OF MS duties.
Efficiency Demonstrated
In the short time he has held
the liquor reinS. Moore has amply
demonstrated the efficiency which
he acquired while serving with
the American Evolutionary Forces
in Franco. Several times he has
made speedy personal investiga-
tions of alleged county liquor vlo-
lationS.
His frequently terated stand
that Iiqior shall be organized for
control and not profits" has
brought a direct reversal of poll
Cy TO many counties which for
two years have been piling up
large SURPRISES in their treasures
from liquor sales.
Has Personality
Possessed Of a pleasing person
ality. Moore is a good converse
tonalist. But he is primarily
family man" and his chief in
tereSt is centered in his children.
He still admits complete bewild-
ermenC when. ten years ago he
was informed he was the father
OF wins. But today the two girls
Ruth Norment and Mary Corbett
Moore are the apples OF my eye.

so has one son. Guitar. Jr., IA.

Moore served under French Of

disagree with those who claim
that Americas opportunities are
exhausted. If you June gradu-
ates have the vision, the intelll-
gence, the courage and the CHAR
ACTER of your fathers. you have
nothing to fear. But do not fol-
low the crowd. Be a pioneer. Go
to the fastest growing sections OF
the country. Cut new paths in
industry, science, distribution or
social relations.
1 do not think that it makes
much difference what VOCATION
you pick so long as you are a
trail-blazer of some kind. The
small specially business where the
competition is not too highly deVe-
lopcd is probably the best field
today. In the keenly competitive
mass-prc duction industries, pro-
fits will be skinned as soon as
they rise to the surface. In the
mailer, newer speciality businesses,
the growth trend is still sharply
upward. However, if you go into
nass-production industries, your
best bet is with a concern which
makes CT sells quality products. A
quality business, no matter how
stiff the competi ion, can survive
if it is managed with brains and
ability.
Public Administration
While you are thumbling over
the possibilities and trying to pick
your lifc-job do not overlook the
public administration field. To-
day there is scarcely a phase OF
! business and industry that the
government does not contact. If
government in it's new role as in
dustrial umpire is to keep the
American standard of living ris-
ing. then the calibre of our public
officials must be improved. Har-
ward University has recognized
this necessity in the founding CT
new graduate school Of public
administration which will train
young men for public administra-
ton jobs. If you are locking for
opportunities, here is a vast new
field just opening up. Trained,
intelligent, career" men will find
greater security and demand for
their services as the years go by.
1 have watched personally for
over thirty years the progress OF
young people. My observation is
that those who deserve to sue
coed do succeed. So I say to the
graduates of June 1897: If you
90 into industry with the right at
titude. if you have taken seri-
ouSly your courses of instruction
if you have learned how to work
hard and conScicnticusly, if you
are honest, predetermined and
practice the Golden Rule. you can
net help but succeed!

Babson Park, Mass, June 2,

news, however, is that this year
not cnly the best students but
also the lOwCr-rankilg cap-and-
gown Wcarcrs arc being picked up
by corporation scouts.
More encouraging still IS the
fact that starting salaries arc re-
ported from Sl00 to 5000 higher
than last year on ali annual basis.
Those industries showing the
most activity at present are TAX

Chrome Complaint
MY real message today. however
is not simply these good reports

really want to answer is an often

School Project
Delayed at
Creswen
Government Help Is
Sought to No Avail;
Waiting and Hoping

CresWell June 2.-Waltlng ana
hoping is the policy forced on OF
ficials of Washington county who
have manifested every possible
effort to get a new or improved
school building in Creswell before
the new term opens in September.
They NUT wait for more money
to be made available by the United
States congress to be distributed
to the counties through the WPA
or some other agency and they
hope in the meantime that the re-
settlement Administration at
Scuppernong farms near CreSWell
will help in the matter.
When the ERA, PWA and WPA
came out ,everal years ago an ap-
plication for a grant was made by
the commissioners and county
board of education. Plans were
drawn and expense estimated. The
application was approved by stale
officials but wa delayed by off,
cials in Washington, D. c.
Last fall the commissioners here
borrowed $4,000 from the State
Literary fund to be used in this
work on the idea that a grant
would be made by the federal gov
crnment of about $4,000 This
grant ha3 never been received and
the $4,000 remains in the Golfers
here.
Durirg tn present session, Pres
ident Roosevelt guided through
congress an economy bill that al
mo sent the hopes of the CreS-
we'll school a-glimmering. But the
officials here have not given up
and they are trying to find an
other method of approach to the
governmental agencies for help.
Th economy measure provides
the following arrangement: The
county must put up the entire
$4,000 for the building. A con-
tractor is urged to use unSkilled la
Dor taken from relief roles. Then
the WPA will refund to the coun-
ty Is per cent more than the to-
tai amount paid to this relief la
Dor.
Contractors do not incline to
relief labor and even if they did,
it may be that not enough could
be employed to make any appre-
ciable amount due from the gov
crnment for their work. Maybe in
the entire S5O.O0O project they
could get a refund of only about
$4,000 for relief labor.
1t may be that the roof will be
repaired and the interior worked
over in the school building dur
ing this summer so that school
can be resumed in the fall. This
expenditure is not expected TO
reach above $4,000. And then the
officials will wait and hope for
help.
H. H. Mclean, superintendent
of schools; c. N. Davenport, Jr.,
chairman of county board of edu-
cation; E. J. Spruill, auditor;
Frank l.. Brinkley, commissioner,
were in Raleigh and Chapel Hill
talking with officials in an effort
to get something done.
They took with them from Ra-
leigh to Chapel Hill Clyde Erwin,
superintendent of public inStruc-
ion; w. F. Creole, OF the division
Of school house planning; W. A.
Dietrich. architect; L. o. Moore,
assistant director of refunding di-
Vision Of the local government
commission. and George Mitchell,
state director of recettIcmcnt ad-
ministratiOn.
In Chapel Hill these men con-
feyrcd for hours with Stanley
Wright. state director of WPA.
and Charlton Chute. financial ad-
wiser to the WPA. Every avenue of
help that could be thought of
was discussed and the local men
were advised to wait and hope.

Asserting the state highway de-

North Dakota counties in requests

100 per cent federal grant basis,
Commissioner P. H. McGurren de-
clared the only way new roads can

Of funds.
The commissioner explained sew
eral counties had sought new con-
struction the past few months and
that engineers had informed rep
resentatives their requests could be
granted only under the feeder-road
program which requires $3.50 match
ing Of county and federal funds.
He said there is approximately
$40O, 900 on credit in Washington, D.
c., for federal feeder road funds to
be continued until 1910.
McGurren stated there are ap-
proximately 2,700 miles Of state high
way which are Unsatisfactory" to
u. S. bureau Of public roads stan
dards. Funds are being expended ON
reconstruction of worn out roads,
especially main routes, and nothing
is being used for new construction
at the present.

ranged for under old relief appro-
priations are still to be let to con-
tract under the former arrange
ment of 100 per cent federal funds.
