Take State Awards

Marshall-The Todnem girls,
daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. Ole
Todnem, certainly are upholding
the baking standards set by their
sister, IneZ, who was named nat
ional cherry pie champion in
1885.
Lila entered in woman's activ-
tiles at the Minnesota state fair
last week, won first and sweep
stakes in white bread and firsts
in raisin bread, nut bread, whole
wheat bread, cloverleaf rolls and
cinnamon rolls.
The other sister, Lois, in the
junior division for girls under 18
in the women's activities at the
state fair, won first in white
bread, first in pinwheel cookies.
second in baking powder biscuits
and third in drop cookies.
And if you think Inez is resting
on her former laurels as the for
mer U. S. cherry pie champion,
just remember that she, assisted
by her mother, baked 200 pies for
the Methodist Ladies Aid food
booth at the Lyon county fair.

Outcropping Ignite
Coal is Discovered

New Ulm-Believe it or not,
there is coal in 'them thar hills.
1t may not be in paying quanti-
ties, but coal has been discovered
on the Alfred Gronau farm six
miles northwest of Fort Ridgely.
Mr.. Gronau states the vein was
six inches in width and that it
cropped out from the hillside in a
deep ravine. The coal is not
heavy, and when submitted to
test has tendency to disinte-
crate. Although it is questionable
whether there is sufficient in the
vein to pay for mining, a more
extensive investigation will be
made as there may be other and
larger veins of the product on the
farm, located but short distance
from the Minnesota river. Mr..
Gronau expects to turn over the
specimen to the historical mus
cum.

Betty F,4rness Stepped from
Magazine Covers to Screen

Betty Furness entered Holly
wood through the back door -
the ad pages and covers of Amer
icas 'slick" magazines.
Betty, it seems, decided a long
time ago, while studying at the
DOuglaStOn School in Long Island,
that she wanted to be an actress.
Being a native of New York and
just out of her teens, she realized
in her more sober moments that
the stage wasn't a pushover for a
pretty gal with plenty of ambition
but no experience.
Thus, during a summer vaca-
ton, she got herself a job as
model for commercial photogra-
pliers. She posed for toothpaSte
and fashion ads and soon became
a familiar figure to magazine
readers. Hollywood agents also
noticed Betty's particularly fine
Photographic qualities and soon
after offered her a screen test. A
contract to go to Hollywood was
the immediate result.

native talents, combined with her
enthusiasm, led her from one

happens, the Cuthrells plan to
begin work on a pier which will
go almost out to deep water and
which should attract many more
swimmers there. Also, they are 60
ing to build a small boardwalk
along the shore and another re-
freShment stand for ladies, chill
dren and old folks. Bath houses,
too, will be built.
Arrangements have been prac-
tically completed for having a
power line run in to TeXaco Beach
from Shiloh and also a telephone
line. These convenienceS will add
much to the place.
Principal drawback of TeXaco
Beach has been the mile or more
of dirt road leading to the beach
from the highway near Shiloh.
This road is narrow and in the
summer it is either dusty or mud
dy, while in the winter it is either
very rough or very sticky. And
now R. R. Roper, district high
way engineer, has promised the
Cuthrells that he will have some
thing done about that road, road
which serves some 10 or II prop
erty owners besides the CuthrellS.
1t is likely that the road will be
widened and graded, which will be
a great improvement. Also, some
thing will be done to the bad
places where cars got stuck so
much last winter.
With electricity, telephone, an
improved road and a pier and
bath houses, TexacO Beach should
rank second in popularity to Nags
Head with Elizabeth City people
The beach is only II miles from
town, and the road is all paved
except the last mile.
An indication of what crowds
the beach may draw next summer
may be seen in the fact that 8l1
automobiles were counted IN 8
traffic check made on the dirt
road leading to the beach last
Sunday and Monday, and it was
a one-Way check.

Grandi'S statement brought

shouted:
1.-The present conflict in Spain
is nothing but a thinly-veiled
Italo- German war against the le-
gitimate Spanish government for
the conquest of Spain.
In these circumstances it is
quite natural to regard the Italo-

County Tax Rate
Will Be Reduced
continued from Page One)

the close of the 1935-36 fiscal year
was only around $4,000.
The increase in the cash bal
ance last fiscal year was attribut-
able partially to ABC profits, but
chiefly to increased tax collections.
Sheriff Carmine had 36 per cent
of his 1885 taxes uncollected on
June 80, 1886, whereas he had
only 80 per cent of the 1886 taxes
uncollected on June 80. 1887. Also,
pickup taxes showed an increase
of around $4,000 over the previous
year, this being due largely to the
good prices received for farm
products last year.
This cash balance, plus the ad-
ditional anticipated revenue as a
result of an increase of $l,5O0,OOO
in property valuation, will make
it possible for Pasquotank county
to lop Is cents or more of its
tax rate this year, in the opinion
of the county auditor.
The board of county commits
sioner3 will meet on Monday of
next week to pass upon the 1887
SO budget and to set the new tax
rate.

I. o. are now engaged in organiz-
ing drives among federal workers.
The federation union-the Ameri-
can Federation of Government
Employes-and the C. I. o. group,
the United Federal Workers, are
forbidden strike or picket privi-
leges under their present charters.
First Statement
Today was the first time the
president has revealed his attitude
toward unionization of federal
workers. He said the government
could not be placed upon the same
collective bargaining plane with
private employers because feder-
al pay scales and laboring condi-
tionS are determined by congress-
ional acts.
This makes 1t impossible, he
said, to allow strikes or exclusive
bargaining.
The chief executive pointed out
that his policy was not new-that
he first ennunciated 1t in 1913
when he was assistant secretary
of navy. At that time, he said, it
was one of his duties to fix navy
wage scales.
May State Own Case
The president made it clear
that federal workers should have
the privilege Of personally laying
their cases before the administra-
tors of their respective depart
mentS. He said that under the
present system any individual
could come before an official and
state his own case or could present
his views through a shop commit
tee, or through a minority spokes-
man, or through a representative
selected by any group.
He emphasized that civil service
regulations forbid the right to
strike. In effect, he said, workers
in the government can join any
union they want: they can join
10 unions; but their hours and
their wages are up to congress.
