Senate Resents
Court Nomination
President Appoints Alabama Sup.
porter But Runs into Opposition

In keeping with his custom of do
ing the unexpected, President Roose-
welt sent to the Senate Thursday the
name of Senator Hugo L. Black as
his nominee to fill the Supreme
Court vacancy caused by the retire
ment of Justice Van Devanter.
The Senate was surprised, and
part of it was angered, because, al
most, everybody had a guess as to
who would be nominated, but it
seemed that nobody but the Presi-
dent had thought of Black.
The Alabama Senator is a new
dealer who believes in government
regulation of industry and agricul-
ture, and for, this reason the COM
servatives looked upon the nomina-
ton almost as an affront. When
the Senate prepared to take an i'm
mediate vote on confirmation, two
leaders of the opposition of the court
bill, Josnson, Republican of Califor-
MIA, and Burke, Democrat of Mes
braska, forced postponement.
Senator Wheeler, however, also an
opponent of the court bill, said
Black was "a very able individual
and expressed the opinion that he
would be confirmed.
mediately applauded the nomina-
ton. John l.. Lewis, head of the
committee for Industrial Organiza-
tion, said his organization was
strong for Black, who is co-author
of the administration wages-and
hours bill. William Green, presi-
den of the American Federation of
Labor, said the appointment was
both pleasing and satisfactory to
labor.
Political observers saw in the ap-
pointment President Roosevelt's way
of serving notice that he had not
given up his fight for the more
questionable new deal measures and
that he would continue the battle
until they are enacted, if possible.
Senator Black is one of the most
militant liberals in Congress, and his
sympathy with the Roosevelt mea-
SurSe is unqueStioned.

The visit of President Roosevelt
to Roanoke Island, coming at time
when legislation of great import
ance to the South is pending in Con.
greSs and when North Carolina is
making a strong bid for streams Of
vacation travel, is certain to be
helpful to the state. And the fact
that he accepted the invitation al
a period when affairs in Washington
demand close attention is evidence
OF his interest in the South.
From a historical standpoint, the
Presidents trip to Roanoke Island
has great significance. It means that
perhaps for the first time a Presi.
dent Of the United States will visit
the place where was born the first
child of English parentage in
America and where the first settle
ment of the English race was at
temped in the New World. The
result will be that the eyes of the
world will be focused on the East
ern shores of North Carolina.
What this will mean to the econo-
mic development of the state and
to strengthening its place on the
travel map cannot be told adequate
1y. It is certain to mean that the
water-niched shores of Eastern
North Carolina will become a mecca
for thousands in search of new
travel thrills and adventure.
The President will undoubtly take
advantage of this opportunity to re-
dedicate the national effort to con-
tinue to improve the economic sta
blllty of our paople generally. 1t
will be his first public address since
making his first appointment to the
United States Supreme Court. 1t
will be an address that comes near
the end of the current session of
Congress. And it will be made in
setting where the foundation was
laid for our present system Of Demo
eracy.
l am happy that I shall be privi-
legged to accompany the President to
North Carolina, If l may again in
ject a personal thought into this
column, I will say that 1 am hope
full that the opportunity will be af-
forded me to bring to the Presi-
dents attention the situation in
North Carolina from the stand
point of current legislation.
1t is particularly important, if the
current wage and hour bill is passed
by Congress, that due regard be
given to the differentials in the
South as compared to other sec
tions. Federal aid for the farmer,
at a time when a bumper cotton
crop threatens to mean falling
prices, is imperative. Something
must be done pending the time
when new farm legislation is enact
ed. And there is evidence that when
such legislation is drafted it will
attempt to treat the farm problem
on more permanent basis than has
been the case in the past.

One of the most hopeful signs in
congress at the moment is the de-
sire of members of both the Sen
ate and the House to spend more
time in their respective states. Dur
ing the last five years most legis-
lation has been drafted on the basis
of representation made to Congress
by spokesman for various cross Sec
tons of our people. The need for
speed has been. evident on many
occasions.
But with better conditions gene
rally, it is important that members
of Congress have a closer contract
with constituents. The viewpoint
of the man at the crossroads store
and on the farm is much needed
The election of the membership of
the House and a third of the men,
bership of the Senate is not so far
away. And these elections next
year will be an index to public ap-
proval of the program now under
way and contemplated.

IF ALL the matches used In the
world in one day were placed end
to end. they would reach to the moon
and 10000 miles beyond. Think how
important these baby explosive bombi
are in the everyday business Of thd
world.
American kitchen matches are usu-
ally made of pine wood cut in a round
shape. In Europe they are made OF
aspen and cut square. Sheets Of
aspen wood can be dried artiflcially in
a couple of hours and made into
matches within the next hour. Thus
three hours may see change from an
aspen log to a few hundred or more
boxes Of matches. But pine has to
be allowed to stand for q couple OF
years before 1t Is sufficiently seasoned
to be made up.
There is more than one might sup
pose involved in the matter of dipping
matchsticks into the e-producing
solution that makes the head. Match
heads are really the product Of much
chemical research. For instance,
people like their matches a cheerful
color, so the chemical has to be dyed
a pleasing blue or red. They must
be double tip, capable Of being Lit on
any surface-a wall, a stove, your
shoe.
The matches must be made SO they
will not flash up too soon. They must
have no sharp edges, but must be
smooth and oval so the heads will not
rub against one another In peoples
pockets and light on each other.

Arthur (Nicky) Arundel, 9-year-old
founder, publisher and editor in chief
of the four-page paper, admits he
doesn't have bicycle himself, but

As to the other planks-Nicky
doesn't know how many giraffes the
Zoo has. if any, but he's convinced
that the morning and -sernoon re-
cesses at Horace Mann School. where
he is third-grade pupil, are far too
brief
"All ZOOS oughta have at least two
giraffes," he declared. And recesses
Of less than is minutes aren't worth

sir, that's the name of twas begun
about eight weeks ago at the sugges-
ton Of the editors father, Russell
Arundel, who used to be secretary
to former Senator Metcalfe OF Rhode

to make four pages of two columns
each, has about so subscribers-in-
cluding Dr. William Mann, director
of the Zoo, who ordered it mailed
to him in Sumatra for the next six

the others pay 10 cents a month,
with nickel extra for postage. Ad-
vertising rates are IS cents for the
little ads, 10 cents for big ads and
more for great big ads" Thus far,
Nicky confessed, he hasn't obtained
the problem of how to fill blank
back page one week by inserting the
following blurb for department store:
Beds to sleep and bicycles cheap.

M at the Langley Community
L boxing and fencing.
Two nights a week about 10 or IS
girls in the Langley community take
part in these. as well as other mascu-
line sports, and center leaders say the
boys had better watch out or the girls
soon will be beating them at their own
games.
When a Boys Club was organized
last July at Langley Junior High
School, under the supervision Of Mrs.
D. E. Middleton, Community Center
secretary, girls were not permitted to
join.
Then q sort of feminist movement
got under way in November and Mrs.
Middleton was beseiged with requests
from young ladies who wanted to be
club members. So the bars were let
down and the group changed its name
to the Games Club.
"I thought the girls would like to
sew and got some tea napkins and
guest towels for them to work on"
Mrs. Middleton said. But 80 far, not
q stitch has been taken. The girls
want to do just what the boys do"
"And the girls are pretty good at
boxing and fencing" George Payne,
athletic director, who supervises these
activities, spoke up. Girls are per-
mitted to box only with the instructors,
however, he explained, and though
they can fence with each other they
cannot contest with boys.
I'VE have one girl here-Dora
Poyner-who's q hard hitter" he de-
clared. II believe with q few more
lessons she'd be able to put up q pretty
stiff tight with one Of the boys. Dora's
II years old.
Her 10-year-od sister, Helen, also
is one Of the best boxers we have" he
continued.
To show Just how good the girls are,
Payne engaged in demonstration
match with Helen, who didn't seem to
be q bit worried about the fact that
she weighs only 81 pounds and her
instructor weighed 195.
Girls use better form than boys"
Payne said, while he was sparring with
Helen, because they care more about
boxing correctly. Boys Just want to
get in and fight.
And another thing" Payne laughed
q he failed to dodge an unexpected
blow delivered by his tiny opponent.
"Girls don't always look where they're
going to hit, 20 they surprise you
sometimes"
As for Helen, she wouldn't miss box

Knitting and Sewing
VIII Be More Fun if
You Heed These Hints

60 MANY girls are knitting things
~ these days that this idea for a wool
holder may help. Punch hole in the
cover OF q cardboard box, put your
ball of yarn in the box and bring the
end of your wool up through the hole
in the cover. Place heavy knife un-
der q piece Of paper in the bottom for
weight.
If your eyes lent all you'd like
them to be, try using embroidery
needles when you sew. The long eye
Is much easier to thread.
Next time you want to crochet an
edge on pillowcases or linen scarf
draw q couple of threads before you
start. This .akes a hole for your
crochet hook and gives you an abso-
lutely straight line to follow.
One girl knitted all her scraps Of
leftover wool into a skirt. regardless
of color, then had it dyed black. Now
she has a good-looking skirt from what
seemed useless odds and ends.
Learn to use q thimble. A prick
from the eye of needle is much worse
than one from the point, to say Moth
ing of the danger Of its breaking OH
and having to be removed.
