The Promised Land Olympic
games" will contain features
hitherto not associated with ath-
letic contests. The outstanding
event will be a potato peeling con-
test. which will take place an hour
before mealtime. There will be a
succession of relay races. but in
stead of passing batons to one
another the runners will use pho
tographS of Father Divine.
The climax of the games will
be the 100-yard dash, and for a
time that event threatened to be
a knotty problem for the Prom
ised Land Olympic games commit
tee. There were too many en-
trantS; too many wingleSs angels
who wanted to prove their speed.
The problem was &olved by
throwing the 1OO-yard dash open
to everyone. Tonight, just before
the entry list closed, there were
almost 1000 starters who will run
in one heat, making that event a
sort of pedestrian charge of the
light brigade.
After each event an airplane

The Social Security budget for
July was submitted to the board
of commissioners yesterday, but
because of a rush of business they
had to schedule another meeting
for today and deferred action on
the budget until today's meeting.

The contest was conducted on
group basis in 76 communities
with some 1888 farmers taking
part. Ten farmers in each of the
winning centers were given 100
pounds of Arcadian Nitrate of
Soda with which to conduct spec
ial fertilizer demonstrations. Just
before harvest time the famerS OF
farms will be visited by evening
class members from other CEN
tiers to see the results.
The evening school program in
Perquimans County is conducted
in four local centers, Bay Branch,
Chapanoke, Woodville and New
Hope. There are 146 farmers en-
rolled with many others visiting
the classes. In each community
the classes have their seperate Or
ganization. They hold regular
meetings once a month and in
late winter the evening class
school meet once a week for ten
weeks. Over a period of six years
twelve members of this evening
class group have been leaders in
the state wide 3 to L Corn Con-

So yesterdays request was only
for a six-montns extension OF
their support on the same basis.
When a vote was called, three
commissioners voted for the ap-
preparation and three voted
against it. Chairman Burfoot cast
the deciding vote in favor of the
Boys club.
Coincidentally, there was a
three-to-three tie vote when the
first contribution was made to the
Boys club about six months ago.
The Boys clubs original budget
called for $4,000, of which the city
and county governing boards each
contributed one-quarter, or $500,
and other organizations and in
dividualS contributed the rest. 1t
now appears likely that the next
budget will have to be increased.

He was expected to spend all Of

suggested going of with another man

His few treasured belongings have

what he thought about the way his
laundry and mending got done didn't
matter in the least. Nobody cared
whether he didn't like window curtains
because they kept out the light-he
has had them anyway. because the
rest. of the OUTFIT thought curtainless
windows were a disgrace. And he
always got the littlest electric fan In
the place.
WHEN he has come home from
long, tough day Of being polite
to people that had been disagreeable
and trying, and he has controlled
himself so long that he just had to
explode-he caught all kinds Of
trouble because he dared speak sharply
to Junior for having rif1ed his tool
chest for the umpty-umpth time. He
was made to feel inhuman and
brute-when he was only relieving
worn and exasperated nerves-with
plenty OF justification for doing so.

become simply the ghost of a cash

forgotten and ignored-but he has
still gone blindly on doing his job Of
taking care of his family to the best
of his ability. And, with them, that
has never been good enough.
So I suppose he will be glad to be
honored on one day out of the 365.
I suppose he will like basking in the
warm light of gratitude and affection
