Tar Heels Think
More of War Now

Raleigh, April 13.-North Caro-

ested in the developing war situa-
ton than in Tar Heels politics, ac-
cording to Dudley Bagley, director of
the State Rural Identification Au-

from Mr.. Bagley regarding posi-

which was written in large letters:

Upon inquiry we found that it was
unlawful to injury even a pine twig
in this city. The tradition was, that
years ago some physician had told
them that pine trees keep off yell
low fever. Since that time no pine
has been disturbed, but on the con-

even on the park strips Flowers were

The fact that all land bounded by
Henderson's city limits has been set
aside as bird sanctuary has led to
many inquiries during the past year
from persons far away, wanting to
know how they too, can add to their
city in this unique way. The Cham
Der Of Commerce, since it has been
formed last July, has received APP
proximately one inquiry each month
from points in this and other states,
as far south as Florida and as far
north as Maryland It is true that
Henderson has been brought to the
attention of many who would not
know of it but for this asset.
While it has been debated whether
or not Henderson is the first or sec
ond city in North Caorlina to have
been designated as bird sanctuary,
there is no question that Henderson
was the first to have formed such
sanctuary and to have maintained a
constant interest throughout the
years.
The Chamber of Commerce fully
realizes the worthiness of the sanctu-
airy, as an asset to Henderson, both
for the outsider coming to the city
or passing through, and as a truly
aesthetic asset to the people living in
Henderson, and takes pride in de-
scribing the project to people from
afar who are interested.

Executive Secretary, Chamber of
Commerce.

To the Henderson Bird Club:

To the Henderson Bird Club:
Your most interesting list of birds
has been read and I have given it
to Mr.. P. B. Finch, one of the great
est bird lovers in this section. We
went over the list together and he
knew practically every bird on the
list and had seen most of them.
Most of us are country-raised
where birds are regarded as Just a
part Of nature that can take care
Of itself, hence most Of the bird clubs
originate in towns and cities where
people fully realize the value of the
bird and feel that the bird is the one
thing that brings true nature to our
doors; and that the unitarian value
Of the bird is not to be compared with
the aesthetic value.
A few years ago one would have
thought bird clubs should be CLASH
fled IN the column Thirty Years Too
Late, but the great progress made by
bird clubs tell us there is yet time to
save our little feathered friends.
What has been done to protect
birds and make life more like it
should be for the birds encourages
real lovers to go forward

child alike to love birds and study

said he was satisfied that this moth

she added the second story.

up to some mud that had fallen from

appeared to test it in her beak, threw
it down and tried the second sam

right texture but she found the third

minutes and this time went unhesi-
tatingly to the lump of mud from
which she had taken the third sample
and helped herself to the second and
then third mouth full of the mud of

The study of birds will prove to
any lover that many have reasoning

Samoan Library
Model Gift to
Smithsonian

A model of the first library ever
built in American Samoa, this
country's largest island outpost in
the South Pacific, has been pre-
sented the Smithsonian Institution
by the Navy Department.
The model represents, it is pointed
out, what is probably one OF the
most unusual undertakings ever at
tempted by a United States naval
officer.
The library itself, the first culture
center of the Samoan people, was
built in 80 days under the super
vision of 1t. Comdr. P. j. Holloran.
1t follows in every detail the native
Samoan style of architecture and
construction.
The model, now in the perma-
nent possession of the Smithsonian
will be exhibited in the National
Museum. 1t is a true scale repro
duction of the library, complete in
every detail and made of the same
materials as the library building.

lCourt Cafeteria
Keeps on Serving
Frunkfurters
Nv the Associated Press


The Supreme Court cafeteria has
settled a delicate dietary situation:
Its bill of fare will continue to in
clude frankfurters.
The day after President Roosevelt
nominated Prof. Felix FTankfurter
TO the high tribunal, the cafeteria
featured frankfurters and sauer-
kraut.
1t loosed an avalanche of COM
ment. Nearly every customer acted
as if he were the first to discover
the coincidence.
Counter girls, cashiers and bus
boys spent the noon hour as un-
willing listeners to homemade jokes.
1t became tiresome, but the cash
register rang with sales.
Frankfurters never were more
popular.
The menu, of course, was planned
before the White House nomination
was made public. Nothing could be
done about that, but what about the
future?
Suppose the wirecracks kept up?
Cafeteria chieftains held a quiet
conference, studied the new JUS
tees traits, and decided he wouldn't
mind.
