335 Rescued From
An Excursion Boat
Liner Acadia Sinks Vessel In
New York Harbor. A
Big Crash.

New York, May 28.-The famous
Moonlight Sail" excursion boat
Mandal on its first pleasure trip
of the season, was rammed and
sunk by the big luxury liner Acadia
shortly after six o'clock tonight in
the narrows of New York harbor
off Craven Shoal buoy.
The crash, apparently caused by
heavy fog, threw 1876 passengers of
the Mandalay into panic. All were
reported rescued by the crew of the
Bermuda-bound Acadia, a $4,000
900, 6,185-ton vessel owned by the
the Eastern Steamship Lines.
Some of the passengers were sub
sequently transferred to the coast
guard cutter Champlain, while the
Acadia limped into lower New York
bay and anchored there. Damage to
the Acadia was reported slight.

Mrs. Faison And Teachers Are
Praised. Many interesting
Exhibits AT School Day..

Several hundred WPA adult edu-
cation students and teachers from II
counties of the Northwestern Dis
trict. which includes Ashe, Ale
ghany and Watauga, attended the
third annual community school day
IN High Point last Saturday and
heard Capus Waynick, editor of the
High Point Enterprise praise the
work of the adult education pro-
gram and in this district in particu-
lar.
A special chartered bus took stu
dents and teachers from this section.
Many unique and interesting exhi-
bits showing what has been accom-
plished during the past year were
featured in the auditorium of the
High Point junior high school where
the program was held.
Mrs. Marion G. Faison of West
Jefferson, district supervisor, pre-
sided. Grover Jones, High Point
city attorney, welcomed the crowd
William M. Cain of Wilkes county,
student, read the 23rd Psalm.
Mrs. Elizabeth G. Morriss of Ra-
leigh, state-aid WPA adult and pre-
school education director, discussed
What of 1940?" She said the adult
4 education work had been going on
4for three years and by 1910 it was
the aim of the program to change
entire communities"
Mrs. Morriss pointed out that the
state highway patrol has suggested
that schools to teach persons to op-
crate cars be established. She said
they should also be taught to read
and write aasthe same time.
At the present time there are 81
600 persons enrolled in the adult
education program throughout the
state. During the coming year each
student is being asked to secure five
persons to enroll in the class.
This will aid US materially in
stamping out illiteracy in North
Carolina" she declared.
B. L. Smith, superintendent of
Greensboro schools, said the adult
education program is pioneering, %
and termed each student and teach
er pioneer.
'sYou are a section of a great uni
versity," Waynick told the group.

future be the greatest of all.

ROTENONE CONTROLS
UNWELCOME BEETLES

The Mexican bean beetle is again
making its unwelcome annual visit
to thousands of North Caroline
bean fields.
To control this insect, ]. 0. Row
ell, extension entomologist at State
College, is recommending that
growers use rotenone either as g
spray or as a dust.
GARDENERS who are equipped To
dust will find the three-fourths OF
one per cent rotenone dust satisfac-
tory. It is highly important that
the dust be applied to the under.
side of the leaves. Care should be
taken to obtain. a thorough and un-
form coverage of all the foliage.
For snap and bush beans, the rate
Of application should vary between
Is and 20 pou. DIS to the acre. The
application rate on pole beans viii
depend on the size Of the plants.
