ROTARY LAUNCHES
DRIVE ON TICKETS
'1Womanless Wedding" to
Be Given Thursday,
April 20

Tickets may be secured for the To-
cal talent ."Womanless Wedding" to
be given Thursday night, April 18th,
by the Henderson Rotary CLUB, from
any one of the Rotarians.
Much enthusiasm was manifest at
the meeting last night as members
of the bridal party made plans Tor
costumes and each man realized he
would have some trouble finding a
lady who would admit her evening
dress would fit his mannish "figger. +"
The Dame-of-Honor, L. Harvard, has
a small wasp like waist but at the
end of his pedal extremities there are
feet that will thank the Good LORD
for mems shoes before the procession
ends.
The flower girls are enjoying their
usual search for lost golf balls on the
grounds that they are looking for wild
flowers for the gala night. Both dam
ty flower girls, Butch Butcher ana
Charlie Carter, were notified by the
master of ceremonies, Dick Cannon,
the big gun of this affair, that the
flowers would be carrot tops if they
did not practice more. There was
some discussion as to the size and
style of the flower girls costume,
fluffy knee length skirts was settled
as standard.
The Bride was present and has Sc
cured a wig from the costumers of
New York City that frames his face
in elusive curls that will make your
eyes water The bridal bouquet will
be furnished by Hibberd's. The groom
admitted lie was getting nervous, but
its too late now, Dick Jones. The
brides mother, DR.. Jim Wheeler in
formed the groom that he simply
shall and must take the vows. Mothe:
Wheeler is a good shot and Dick
knows it,.
When one thinks that tickets for
this wedding may be had for ten and
twenty-five cents and the good this
money will do in educating some Hen
derson boy or girl through the Rotary
Student Loan Fund, and the unusual
fun one will have, we seriously doubt
if the new high school will hold the
attendance. Get your tickets early.

NEW PLAY THEME
IS LAID IN VANCE
WPA Writers Develop
''Popcastle Inn" Story
Into Drama Form

Two playwrights in Chapel Hill,
working under the Works Progress
Administration writers project, have
dramatized the story Of old "Popcastle
Inn" in Vance county, and the play
has been sold to New York publish
ing concern, Howard Bailey, of Ra-
leigh, State director of the Federal
Theatre Project, today informed Mrs.
Lett:e Finch Payne, supervisor OF re-
creation for Vance county under the
WPA.
The fact that the information has
been dramatiz and sold to publish
ers does not mean the story cannot be
used for WPA performances, Mr..
Eailey wrote He said the publishers
lad advised him that when the play is
printed several complimentary copies
will be distributed to libraries and
schools in Vance county.
It is expected that amateur groups
in schools of the county will under
take to produce the play, since it is
based on material gathered in Vance
county. Mr. Bailey asked Mrs. Payne
to advise him of local libraries and
schools that would be interested in
having copies of the play when it is
published.

black TAX REVENUE
| BEING DISTRIBUTED
All County Funds Sharing
In Split-Up of $4,984 of
Collections

Back taxes prior to the 1896 levy,
as collected by G.. w. Adams, delin-
quent tax collector, were being dis
tributed today to various county funds
in the sum of $4,98426, he announced
this afternoon. Mr.. Adams had col
lected through today a total of S.
349.24 in tax arrearages for the years
1928 to 1885, inclusive but that a.
mount not now being allocated to va
rious county funds had not been put
through the red tape of necessary en-
tries and the like.
Of the total distribution at this
time. approximately $1,000 was going
to school operating and debt service
items. The general fund, the poor
fund, health and other interests of
the county were also sharing in the
distribution.
Separate checks for each of the de-
partments sharing the money had to
be written for each of the years in
volved, totaling several dozen drafts,
some cf them as low as it was possible
to write check, one cent. There were
others as low as three cents and some
up to nearly 5000.
Mr.. Adams said he had found many
persons on the books in previous
years have moved out of the county
money realized in the collections has
come from poll taxes, and some thrO-
ugh garnishee sources.

LEGION EXPOSITION
WILL NOT Be HELD
Deferred for Present But
May Be Undertaken in
Early Fall

The American Legion's annual
spring exposition and automobile
show for Henderson will not be at
tempted at this time, but may be I'M
dcrtaken in the late summer or early
fall, j. c. Cooper, commander of the
Legion post, announced this after
noon. He and several other leaders in
the Legion were a committee to make
decision, and with power to act in
the matter
Heretofore the exposition has been
held the latter part of April. But the
Legion post deferred a decision in the
matter, and then entrusted the whole
problem to the committee headed by
Mr. Cooper.
AS to whether the undertaking will
be in late summer or early fall, or
possibly even not at all this season,
remains to be decided, and the COM
mittee will rule on it later in the
summer.
Mr.. Cooper said there had been a
trifle of hitch in the handling of the
old Southern passenger station build
ing at the corner of Garnett and
Spring streets, in that the lease,
which has been received from South
ern Railway offices in Washington,
did not comply entirely with the YER
bal agreement that had been reached.
The lease has been returned to Wash
ington for correction, and the mat
ter is now expected to be closed final
ly in the very near future.
The post expects to spend around
| $4,000 on the building to remodel it
for use as a hut for the Legion. But
there will be no procedure until all
of the uncertainties have been salts
factorily cleared, it was stated.

London, April 6.-Thomas Little

Investment
InB. &L.Is
Rising Fast
City's Growth Re-
Elected in Payments
and Borrowings In
Two Associations

Stock sold in the new series is be-
lieved to be perhaps the largest in
volume of any series ever handled by
the Home Building and Loan and
Henderson Building and Loan Asso-
Citations here. In the aggregate the
shares will amount to 1000 to LOO
shares it is understood
First payments on the new stock
were due this month, and mean that
some $4,000 to $4,000 in cash is paid
every 80 days by shareholders on
their investments.
This money, in turn, is loaned to
property owners for use in building
homes or repairing them, and the de-
mand for funds for projects of this
type is reported to be steadily increas-
ing. Requests this month have been
heavy and cover building projects al
ready under way or soon to get under
way.
Seldom ever have there been sc
many new homes under construction,
or repairs being made, as at the pre-
sent time in Henderson and it's
suburbs. Building permits issued in
the city do not cover more than a
comparatively small portion of these
operations, as most of the residential
construction is outside the city limits
in new developments, where many
new homes have heen erected in the
past year or so.
Business property is also being I'M
proved at a rapid rate, but new con-
struction in residences is more than
keeping pace with this forward move
ment. All of which is reflected in the
rapid growth of the city at the pre-
sent time

measles.
Treatment and preventive work a.
mong tuberculars was carried on by
the health staff and a large number
of treatments in syphilis cases were
reported. Health examinations and
pre-school clinics among the children
are being pressed, but this work was
slowed down during the winter due
to bad road conditions. Prenatal
clinics are largely attended and help
full treatment is being given, the re-
port stated.
Sanitary work is being carried on
in inspections of food handlers, eat
ing establishments, food stores, tour
list homes and the like. A campaign
against flies and mosquitoes is getting
under way for the summer. Progress
