Rooney Beery
Now Storot
Columbia

A picture that bears a tale of
human interest, combining the
star of THE Champ" and the
skyrocket of Love Finds Andy
Hardy" has moved to the Co.
lumbia, that it may once more
play upon the emotions of movie
goerS.
"Stablemates" is a two-charac-
ter film and made to order for
its stars. Wallace Beery is at
home in his role as the broken
down veterinarian, to which he
applies all the naturalneSS he
possesses, while Mickey Rooney
seems more at home as the stable
waif than in his love-sick, girl
crazy characterization in the last
Of the Hardy series.
There he seemed to strain
himself, but in "Stablemates" he
puts just the right amount Of
feeling and expression into his
Interpretation, which sends him
one more rung up the proverbial
ladder.
Producer.Director Sam Wood
performs a magnificent task on
this story of "the sport of
kings" From start to finish,
all the emotion, strength and
tears that can possibly be accom-
plished has been incorporated to
make one of the finest films
that ever hit the screen. You
will cry and laugh and even
sit on edge during the exciting
sequences, but no one will be dis
appointed.
The only other character of
Importance is Minor Watson,
who portrays the ever-menacing
detective.
Quite a number of shorts,
which includes pictures of the
Nagurski-Sonnenberg match and
Dick Tracy, fill out the rest of
the program. R. H. S.

Referenda G e t S
Well Under Way

A heavy vote was cast today IN
Vance county in the referenda of far
mers on the question of whether or
not control of cotton and tobacco
planting and marketing will be ac-
corded to the Federal government ur-
der the new farm bill.
This was in contrast to certain
views expressed several days ago,
which were that some growers would
remain away from the polls rather
than vote for a proposition which,
they did not entirely understand.
County Farm Agent j. w. Sanders
estimated early in the day that 5000
or more growers would vote. Others
said this afternoon that in their Sec
ions the vote was heavy, and predict
ed that the total ballot would exceed
any political election ever held in the
county Many persons voted in this
referendum who were non eligible to
vote in political polls.
Polls opened at 8 a. M, and were tC
lose at Z p. RI. Separate ballots were
cast for tobacco and cotton, but there
was only one issuc-yes or no on con-
rol. Counting of the results was ex
rected to be done speedily, and it was
thought likely the figure would be
known sometime during the evening
Mr.. Sanders assumed the duty of
collecting the returns, and said he
would forward them promptly to Dean
l. O. Schaub at N. C. State College
Raleigh All indications were that the
Result would be 80 per cent or better
l favor Of control.

ing the International Highway which now runs as Hazelton in that province and there is strong indication that the sentiment in Canada is growing. True it may be encouraged to considerable extent by the proposal that the United States advance the money which is estimated to run around $15000000, for the actual construction. Premier Patullo even went little further yesterday and said the United States had offered loan the money to Canada with out interest in exchange for permission to through Canadian territory.
 But aside from the financial angle there is no better example to the world of the Sood neghbor policy than that existing between the United States and Canada and is after all this friendly attitude extending over a long period of years which will prove the important factor in building the International Highway or cooperating in any other mutual enter prise between the two countries.
 Canada and the United States have great deal in common and best revelation that their understand ing and neighborly relations are broad and genuine is reflected in the thousands of miles of border between the two countries without armed guard along the whole boundary line
 Two countries with such deep understanding of each other are bound achieve; that they will achieve construction of the International Highway seems now highly probable.
