Little Miss Lois Ann Greenway is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney
Greenway of North Granville. If Lois
Ann would be shown in a TechnicolOr
movie, her eyes would be as blue as
the skies. She can grin, smile, and
laugh-all at the same time. When
she was tiny tot, her mother brought
her to town for a while in a silken-

that for some time.

of 1881, which year it was that Cousin

that the big hail storm came. He was

But that, too, is not what l start

poem went as follows, as l got him

According to T. S. Johnson, chief
engineer in charge of the water re-

corks and blueing will be used in de-
termining the velocity of ocean cur
rents off the beaches.
Beach erosion work this summer
will cover the entire length of Wrights

Moores Inlets, Carolina Beach and
the beach in the vicinity of Fort
Fisher.
G. T.. Feltner, engineer of the water
resources division, went to Carolina
Beach last week to make plans 70,
the work to be done there. The sur
vey party will make measurements
of the contour of the beaches to de-
termine the trend and amount OF
erosion throughout their entire length.
These measurements will be studied
to determine their relation to base
lines which have been established for
many years.
Mr. Feltner and his party will also
make studies of the ocean currents
using the cork floats for off-shore
currents and the blueing for the cur
rents close to the shore.

Here And
There
By w. M. Smith

Bernarr Macfadden, editor of
Liberty Magazine, in recent edi-
torial, passionately assails the in
difference of the American people
for its unconcern in matters relat-
ing to the country's lack of defense
preparation for a possible war.
Mr.. Macfadden's emotional out
burst expressed with such vigor
and logic, crossed my mind as. l
sat in the closing meeting of inter
racial week in the Citizens Aid
building, Minneapolis, last Wednes-
day evening.
Here was a meeting called in the
interest of the Negro people, as i'm
portant to it as the question of de
tense is to the whole American
public.
AS / looked over the so odd peo-
pie who made up the audience
which should have been counted in
the hundreds, I felt somewhat in
the frame of mind of the editor
who so bitterly attacked the indif-
ference of the American people in
a problem so important and so far
reaching.
The white speakers of the inter
racial meeting-there were several
of them-leaned over backwards in
their anxiety to show they were not
disturbed by the apparent indiffer-
ence of the people in whose interest
they had comea very gracious
gesture on their part, / thought.

president of one Of the foremost
banks of the city; a rabbi, recog-
nized for years as a leader of the
Jewish people and an outstanding
public figure; Catholic priest of
st. Paul, equally prominent in
church and civic affairs, and a
young earnest and sincere Unitar-
ian minister, an exponent of the
practically and humanity of the
religion of the Christ, all deeply
imbued with the rank injustice and
illogical reasoning of their own
group and anxious and eager to
voice their own disapproval and
prepared to suggest and inaugu-
rate means and methods for a def
mite departure from present race
relations.
