it was pointed out. Accordingly the
contract for the 800 new buses on
which bids were opened last week
were awarded to the international
Harvester Company, although its bid
was approximately $50 per unit high
err than the Ford bid. The Chevrolet
bid was high, being 81 higher than
the International bid.
It is understood that the reason the
board of awards declined to consider
the Ford bid was because the operat-
ing records of the State School Com
mission show that the cost OF operat-
ing the school buses mounted on Ford
chassis show that the operating and
maintenance cost CT these trucks is
considerably higher than the cost of
operating International and Chevrolet
buses, and that the difference in the
cost of operation over period of five
years or more would amount to a
great deal more than $50 difference
in the original cost of the buses.
The State School Commission has
been keeping a detailed record of the
operating cost per mile of the differ
ent types of buses in use for several
years now. and hence is able to figure
in advance what the operating cost
of the various makes Of trucks will
amount to.

DR.. Gregg Speaks
For B. P. w. Club
Tuesday Evening

The Business and Professional WO-
mems Club met Tuesday evening in
the Perry Memorial Library to hear
an informal but very instructive talk
by DR.. A. D. Gregg, Vance County
Health Department head He told of
the beginnings, even back in Biblical
history, of sanitary measures and
traced the charging program to the
present time when measures to pro-
tect the health of the people are as
necessary for an intelligent commun-
ity as laws to protect the people. He
told of how the idea has been changed
from curing people to preventing in
the first place. His talk was much
enjoyed and several matters pertain
ing to health were discussed later as
questions from members brought them
up. The club pledged it's support for
any matters pertaining to the health
of the community if he desired it at
any time.
A short business session was then
held. It was decided to extend a
courtesy to all local members who
are owners or part owners of their
own businesses, by having placed in
the State Organ, The Tar Heel WO-
man." the names of all such members
and their business, the Club to pay the
expense of same. Members were re-
minded of the State convention to be
held in Durham in June at which the
local club is to be hostess for 'Fun"
breakfast at the Washington Duke, on

Saturday of the Convention. There is
to also be given an afternoon tea at
the Governors Mansion in Raleigh
which all delegates may attend, driv-
ing over from Durham. A personally
conducted tour Of Duke University
with a concert is another of the fea-
lures. All members are asked to plan
to attend a part if not all of the time.
Miss Draper, acting treasurer, gave
report of the money on hand which
showed the condition to be the best in
a number of years. This, of course,
is partly due to an enlarged member
ship. To date the local club has TAX
en- in more members than any. other
club in the State and their challenge
to give SIS to any club that beats them
by the end of the year still remains
unanswered. However anything can
happen between now and June 1st

BIDS ARE REFUSED
ON SCHOOL BUSES
Ford Prices Lower But
Longtime Maintenance
Held To Be Higher
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BY j. G.. DASKEKVILL

Raleigh. Aprii 1c-The board of
awards of the Division of Purchase
and Contract approved the contracts
awarded last week for 300 school
buses and declined to consider the bid
offered by the Ford Motor Company,
despite the fact that the Ford bid was
lower than the bids of those who won
the contracts, in its meeting here
Thursday. The Ford company had
asked review of the bids and a re-
hearing, because it maintained that
it's bid was from $40 to $50 lower than
the bids of the companies which won
the contracts. The board also an
nounced that it would open bids on
an additional lot of 400 school bus
chassis and bus bodies on April %.
There is nothing in the law which
requires the board of awards to give
the contracts to the lowest bidder,
especially if there are other consider
atoms involved which tend to make it
advantageous to award the contracts
to one or more of the other bidders,

Louisburg, April 16-With DR.. D. e.
| .Earnhardt, newly-elected PRESIDENT
of Louisburg College, and Supt. w. Il.
Mills, head of the county school sys-
tenn as speakers for the evening, the
Schoolmaster's club of Franklin Coun-
tv held its annual banquet Wednesday

| school,
Over fifty persons, including school
board and local school committees
and visitors, were present
Dr. Earnhardt, who was making his
first appearance before the local
schoolmen's group as head of Louis
burg College, spoke on The Three
F., Greatest American Institutions"
which are, "the hoe handle or indus
try; "the hickory SWITCH or disc1-
pline: and ''the mourners' bench" or
religion. These, declared the speaker,
are the three greatest forces making
for civilization and all together they
spell education.
The College president declared that
the pressing need of the modern day
is not simply intelligent men and wo-
men or good men and women but
combination of the two, or, in his own
words, Intelligent good folks"
The banquet marked the final meet
ing of the year for the Franklin Coun-
ty schoolmen's club. Principal w.
Owen Reel, of the Gold Sand high
school, and president of the group,

tural and fortified wines, provided
dealers have obtained the necessary
licenses from the State, county and
CITY. as provided in the law The Sec
ton further defines fortified wines as
those fortified by the addition of
srandy or alcohol" but not to exceed
"A per cent alcohol by volume.
So until the State Supreme Court
holds otherwise, this statute will per-
nit the sale of any bottled cocktails
and the serving of these cocktails
with meals in licensed hotels and res
taurants, provided they are made with
a wine base and do not exceed "a per
cent alcohol by volume. in the opinion
Of Commissioner Maxwell and others
who have studied this section OF the
law.
Bottled cocktails of all sorts have
been sold in the State both by the
bottle and by the drink for almost two
years now, under the 1885 WINE law,
without the payment of any license
fee or without any regulation, al
though the 1885 law prohibited the
sale Of anything but natural VINE
manufactured in North Carolina.
There are probably dozen or more
places here in Raleigh where bottled
cocktails may be obtained by the cot
tie or drink, some of them soda foun-
tains on the main street here. So far
as is known, none of these places has
ever been prosecuted.
After May 1, however, every retail
dealer will have to buy State wine
license at SIS a year, county license
at $40 a year and a city license at
$40 year in order to sell wines or
bottled cocktails in unbroken pack
ages.

excited ladies clamoring wildly for
autographs before the train had even
had a chance to stop. Charlie re-
f1ected sadly that Nadine was no
doubt among the mob of half-de-
mented women.
He couldn't doubt that it was Calls
worth. He had seen that classic pro-
file in his home too many times. He
saw the movie star descend from the
far side of the train and bolt. But
the next time he saw him GailsWorth
was huddled in the cab of his
truck.
WELL, III be ~ Charlie ex-

Dlntys boy! Say, what is all this
business anyhow?" Gailsworth took
quick look and grinned.

me away, will you?' Charlie finished
unloading and drove off Slowly. He
felt that he ought to be severe with
his passenger for disturbing his home,
but then it wasn't his fault. 1t was
just the foolishness of his wife. Never
theless, he mentioned the fact in pass
ing. Gailsworth chuckled.
III fix that, Charlie Just call
your wife and tell her I'll be there
for dinner" Charlie listened further
and grinned.
Nadine accomplished wonders in the
two hours before her idol showed up
in Charles wake. GailSWorth mean
time had gone to some pains to do a
fine bit of preparatory work. Powder
in his hair converted the sleek black
locks to iron gray A little diluted

touch, as he finished eating, he leaned
back, smacked his lips and loosened

1t was a few months after Nadine,
his faithful helpmate, had quit her
Job and devoted her energies eXClu-
sivcly to her home that Charlie had
the first STRINGS of suspicion that
perhaps he, too, was about to join
the ranks of men who claimed the
doubtful distinction of possessing
wives with distinct movie flXations.
Nadine had worked hard for the
first five years of their marriage, and,
like Charlie, had permitted herself
few relaXationS. But with huge gobs
Of leisure suddenly dumped in her
lap she began eagerly to seek the
diversions common to the women who
lived in the neighbOrhOod. 1t seemed
that the neighbor women spent a
large percentage of their free after
moons at the theater down the street.
Nadine, eager do do all the things
that had been denied her While she
was engroSsed in a job, followed their
suit, and in no time at all acquired
a remarkable fund of knowledge
about everything that made the
wheels of Movjeland go around
Charlie noticed that the magazine
rack gradually filled with periodicals

the lives of the movie idols, was emp
