$1,000 Paid
To Workers
InWeek-End
Distributed at North
Henderson; Other
Thousands In South
Henderson

Additional unemployment compen-
sation checks for idle textile workers
at North Henderson were distributed
Friday afternoon and Saturday and
at South Henderson today, it was an
nounced by George M Suggs. man
ager, of the local office of the NORTH
Carolina Unemployment Compensa-
ton Commission.
In round figures, the checks distri-
buted at North Henderson amounted
to $1,000. Mr.. Suggs could not say
what the approximate aggregate was
for the distributions today at South
Henderson.
In both instances these are the sec
cond distrib utions from the unemplov-
ment compensation fund since the 10 F..
cal textile plants closed for lack Of
sufficient orders to keep them going. :
Several weeks ago, there was serious
complaint on the part of the workers
against delays in sending their pay
ments, and they made determined de-
mands on county officials for assis-
lance to obtain the bare necessities
of life pending receipt of their money
from State sources.
Last week there was further COM
plant from a group of the workers,
but the protest and the demand di l
not assume the serious aspects of the
previous one, which found expression
in a mass meeting in the court house
that lasted for an entire Saturday aft
ernoon, and resulted in a hurried
sumnoning of the Vance Board Of
County Commissioners to meet the
emergency.
Cash distributions over the week
end have greatly relieved the econo-
mic situation among the workers for
the time being.

doesn't take It into his head to stay In
the dear Old Briar-Patch. Not that
he would make us any trouble. One
thing I can say for Jimmy Skunk and
all the members of his family is that
they mind their own business. They
don't interfere with other people.
Look at that silly Rabbit keep bobbing
up! He takes two or three hops and
then sits up. He acts as II scared
half to death. I wonder If I act that
way. And that Skunk never sits up,
never looks around. 1t seems silly for
one to be so scared while the other
isn't scared at all. Hal"
Peter, who had been sitting up, now
raised himself still higher by standing
up on his toes that he might see
better. He was sure that he had
caught a glimpse of something red
moving along the edge of the Old Pas
ture. There 1t was again. He wasn't
mistaken. It was Reddy Fox! Peter
was filled with excitement. Reddy had
discovered that young Rabbit, but the
young Rabbit hadn't discovered Reddy
Fox.
Whenever the Rabbit moved for
ward Reddy also moved forward, run
ming fast and at the same time SEEM
ing to hug the ground. When the
Rabbit stopped to sit up Reddy stopped
and flattened himself in the brown

stantly running away, often without
knowing what I am running from.
No, sir, I don't like it, Yet I can't
help It, make up my mind that next
time won't run unless really have
to, but when the next time comes
some trifling little thing starts me be-
fore I really know what am running
from. It makes me look like coward,
and no one likes to be thought a
coward. I know all my neighbors
call me 'fraiSy' and I don't blame
them. And Danny Meadow Mouse
calls this blessing"
Presently Peter forgot the matter in
watching well-grown young Rabbit
which was coming from the Old Pas
ture toward the dear Old Briar-Patch.
Peter was preparing to give him a
warm but not a friendly reception, for
he wanted no other Rabbits save the
members of his own family in the
dear Old Briar-Patch. Then he saw
a well-grown but young Skunk not
far from the young Rabbit. He also
was headed toward the dear Old
Briar-Patch.
"One Of Jimmy Skunk's children"
thought Peter. Nov that winter is
practically over the Skunk family
probably has split up and the young
sters are on their way to find homes
for themselves. I hope that fellow

grass where he would keep motionless
until the Rabbit moved on. On moved
the Rabbit. On moved Reddy. Up
sat the Rabbit. Down Topped Reddy.
All the time Reddy was gaining. Peter
could stand 1t no longer. He thumped
the danger signal. Instantly the
young Rabbit leaped forward in full
speed without pausing to look around
to see what the danger might be. He
was so timid that he just took to his
heels the instant he heard the danger
signal.
It was well he did. He reached the
dear Old Briar-Patch only one good
jump ahead of Reddy. The latter had
been delayed by almost running into
the young Skunk and having to leap
aside as the latter faced him in a
threatening way. Peter saw then that
nothing but timidity had saved that
young Rabbit, his nervousness and
readiness to run. Peter was con-
WINGED. Timidity could be and was
a blessing after ALL

DETER RABBIT is not the thinking
kind. He is too happy-go- lucky
to do much real thinking. The world
is full of people Just like him. Their
part in the real work of the world is
small, but we love them for what they
add to the Joy of life, these Peter
Rabbits.
Once in a while Peter does think,
and 1t was Danny Meadow Mouse who
had set him to thinking now. Danny
had declared that their great timidity
was q blessing to both himself and
to Peter. You know both are so timid
that 1t sometimes seems as If they
suffer from constant fear. Danny
had pointed out that had they been
less fearful they probably would long
ago have been surprised and caught
by an enemy.
AS Danny had presented the idea
1t seemed reasonable to Peter and he
had agreed that they should be thank
full that they were so timid. Now,
since parting from Danny, he wasn't
so sure. The idea that being so timid
