|0matS Guests at Good
Will" Program.

The era Of good will among the ma
tons of North, South and Central
America was emphasized last night
as Ambassadors and Ministers of the
sister republics of the Americas and
officials of the State and Commerce
Departments joined with the Board
Of Trade in celebration of Pan
American night.
The celebration was held at the
Mayf1oWer Hotel as part of the trade
body's regular March meeting. One
of the highlights was the raising of
the flag of each republic, accompanied
by the playing OF each countrys ma
tional anthem.
Assistant Secretary of State Fran
els B. Sayre. one of the principal
speakers, said that, although each re-
public OF the Americas is vastly diff
ferent from the others, there is a
common bond of understanding, of
aspiration and feeling of kinship
existing between them. Urging fur
therance of President Roosevelt's
good neighbor" policy, he said:
THE President not only advanced
his ideas of the good neighbor policy,
but he acted on them and translated
them into concrete realities"
Hits dollar Diplomacy"
Warning against dollar diplomacy"
Sayre said the future success of good
relations with South America depends
on the pursuit Of wise foreign COM
merce policy. He said that no effort
should be spared to extend Latin
American trade 80 that all concerned
may profit"
DR.. Don Adrian Recinos, Minister of
Guatemala, responded briefly to AS
sistant Secretary Sayre's message on
. behalf of the South and Central
American countries. The celebration
was the first public demonstration of
the era of good will to be held in this
country since the Inter-American
Peace Conference at Buenos Aires.
DR.. Hans Kinder, conductor of the
National Symphony Orchestra, gave
a brief talk on the orchestras cam
paign for $4,000 sustaining fund,
saying that "art often needs to come
to business for help"
He pointed out, too, that any con-
tributions made to the orchestra be-
fore Monday could be deducted from
income tax returns. This drew laugh
ter and applause
DR.. William Mcclellan, vice presi-
dent of the National Symphony Or
chestra Association. also spoke on the
campaign. He said symphonic music
is necessary to make Washington "a
complete city" in supplying the physi-
cal, mental and spiritual needs of its
residents.
Reporting for special committee
named by the trade body to study the
feasibility of subways in Washington,
John j. Esch told the several hundred
members and guests the subcommittee
has recommended that Congress make
provision for a survey Of the subway

strange that a girl who profeSsed
to love you so much could be so
absolutely incapable Of under

been fully aware Of her own, OF
HER mother, HER father, who
was only a stepfather anyway.
Heavens, couldn't she realize what
he was facing? Couldn't she even
guess what he was up against?
In the taxi, driving from Second

then up little hill to the Wilson
home on Shalimar, Marie was
a-flutter with excitement, and Ed.

himself.
He realized that she'd never seen
anything but Hollywood and Los
Angeles in her life, and this was
an adventure and a journey. But
as the taxi meter raced from IS
cents to so cents and from so
cents to rs cents, he could think
of nothing but his mother, and
what she'd say when he pushed
Marie forward and said. Meet
the wife"
To save his life he couldn't
think of anything else to say, any
other way to put it. And it was so
hard to beat a new idea into
MONS head. Anything new just
didn't register with her. Marie

$50, 600 Church Is
Dedicated in Boone
Modern Structure, Which Was
Begun in 1929, Completed
by Watauga Baptists

BOONE, June 12.-The auditori-
UNI of the new Boone Baptist
church was formally opened here
last Sunday morning, inaugurating

the week.
The new church, the first unit of
which was erected in 1929, has just

$4,000, which figure includes the
pator's home on the same lot. The
building represents the very latest
thought in modern church construc-
ton, and the plans which were
drawn by the late Robert F. Coffey
were approved by the general board
of the North Carolina Baptist con-
vention, as well as by the architec-
tural department of the Sunday
school board at Nashville, Tenn.
The building is constructed of
straw-colored brick, the auditorium
will seat 900 to 1000 people and
there are so Sunday school rooms
in the structure, including five de-
partmental Eunday school rooms.
The building fronts 100 feet on
Main street and $50 feet on College
avenue, and is without question the
finest church plant in northwestern
North Carolina. The auditorium.

as the pastors home are steam heat

cation.
Rev. ]. c. Canipe is the pastor of
the church. He came to Boone in
