\. C. School System
Speaks For Itself
AtDuke University

Significance is attached
to information released today by DR..
Alan K. Manchester, dean of fresh
men in Trinity college, Duke Uni
versity, concerning scholastic aver
ages of North Carolina first-year
men during the first semester of the
current academic year. Two North
Carolina high schools, Sanford and
Hillsboro, are complimented in that
they sent the highest scoring first
year students to Trinity college this
year. I'D
Paul Marringer, Sanford, and Alon-
20 Williams Kenion, of Hillsboro,
were the only freshmen to make
straight AS during the first semester.
Another North Carolinian, Edward
J. Daniel, graduate of Durham high
school, is among the six highest
scorers.
A survey of twenty-seven first
year men invited to membership in
Phi Eta Sigma national freshman
honorary scholastic fraternity (bas-
ed on a minimum of 2.25 quality
points per semester hour) reveals
that North Carolinians in the group
led the representatives of all other
states in scholarship, with an average
of 1853 for the eight Tar Heels.
The highest average scholarship
of North Carolina freshmen is fur
Their evidenced in the fact that, while
26.9 percent of the class is from
North Carolina, 1916 percent of those
making Phi Eta Sigma average re-
ceived their preliminary education in
North Carolina public schools.
While the curricula and general
education facilities of Mar Carolina
high schools is not regarded by some
Education facilities of North Carolina
private schools and public high
schools in some of the other states
from which Duke students come,
Dean Manchester points out that the
record of North Carolinians in this
years freshman class speaks for
itself.

county of Cumberland now, and who
represented it much less ably two
years ago.
In the 1887 Assembly he gained
the very unenviable reputation of
speaking more and saying less about
all subjects than any other member
of the House. It got so bad that on
one occasion, the membership pro-
ceeded to vote, while Mr.. McBryde
was still on his feet throwing YER
bal brickbats at the measure under
consideration. He thus became the
only man to be "tabled".
But this time it's quite different,
and while the Cumberlander cannot
now be regarded as a pillar of
strength or a leader to whom the en-
tire membership listens with bated
breath, he has indeed advanced i'm
measurably in the respect of his col
leagues and of news men covering
the proceedings.
He speaks less often, but has more
to say in fewer words. He is still as
unbending in his devotion to prin-
ciple as in 1887, but he has learned
the wisdom of compromise and can
now, once in a while be found on the
prevailing side.
He's a true and consistent liberal,
whose sincerity has never at any
time been questioned, and he is serv-
ing in the present Assembly at con-
siderable sacrifice to himself, having
quit a well-paying post as examiner
for the Federal Labor Relations
Board
His persistence and logged devo-
ton to his cause can be explained
by the fact that he is a Presbyterian
deacon.
He was born in Linden, May H.,
1907, and is a graduate of the Uni
versity and of the Wake Forest Law
school. He served as solicitor of the
Cumberland county court from 1892
to 1884, and as judge from 1884 to
1886.
Dark haired and handsome, he is
unmarried. Gree advt. and note to
the ladies.)

ROADSIDE CONTROL
PLAN is APPRAISED
Much Commentator for AutOmO-
mile Associations Proposal,
Roberts Asserts

Charlotte, Feb. 25-National dis
tribution of the suggested uniform
act for roadside development and
control, adopted at the A.A.A.'s 1888
annual meeting, has resulted in wide
spread interest and many groups and
organizations have pledged their CO.
operation in supporting this type of
legislation, according to Coleman w.
Roberts, president of the Carolina
Motor Club.
"There has been little or no QueS-
ton as to the need for appropriate
action to dispel the blight of road
side unSightliness," Mr.. Roberts said.
1.-THE principal question was just how
this could best be done without in
fringing on the property and other
rights. From the responses that have
come in so far, the AA.A.'s bill ap-
parently is the best solution so far
advanced. Extremists on both sides
of the question feel that if either
goes too far, or not far enough, but
the majority of those who have in
terested themselves in the problem
over long period of years recognize
1t as forward step in the right di-
rection.
Principal purposes of the roadside
bill are to eliminate unslightly struc-
lures along the highway, to prevent
further commercial encroachment in
the future, and to regulate the ap-
pearance and sanitary condition of
all roadside catering establishments.
BillbOards and other ADVERTISING
structures would be moved fifty feet
away from the road under the terms
of the proposed act, while non-com-
mercial zones would be established
within which no new business uses
would be permitted.
Nationwide enactment of this
type of law by the state legislatures
would put prompt halt to the rapid
spreading OF unsightliness along our

that the company sells all kinds of

Several committeeman queried him
on one point and another. Finally
Mecklenburgs Jim Volger, grocer
by trade and legislator by avocation,
began asking Houska about the al
cOhOlic content of various prepara-
