In her, is having the time of her
life. She reveled in the opportunity
to scandalize her old self with that
role she had in Lucky Night" the
one that permitted her to drink,
carouse and marry a poet. That,
however, was not a patch on the
ecstasy Miss 10y is feeling these
days over the opportunity to be
the completely conscienceless lady
(Who said lady2 in THE Rains
Came" The lap of luxury on which
she sat with such grace for so long
is entirely forgotten as she goes
about such chores as scrubbing floors
and being menial and mean all over
the place.
For all her model conduct in re-
cent years, Miss 10y always has had
a talent for the nastinesses she no
longer needs to sublimate. Truth
is, in going to her present tasks,
she is reverting to type in a manner
of speaking. In her early picture
career, she was a first-class viii
lainess, a girl who could turn as neat
a dagger in the human heart as
any member of her sex. In those
days, Miss Logs Oriental eyes were
regarded as expressing to perfec-
ton wicked, unscrupulous heart.
Her employers, men of simple ways,
were late in discovering that behind
those eyes lay a talent for light
comedy which was one of the great
virtues of Miss 10y. Once they did
learn that, with the beautiful con-
flrmation it received in The Thin
Man" they could see nothing else.
Miss 10y, very far removed from
the villainous wife she played in
THE Animal Kingdom" (why not
bring that back again, Louise Moo
nan Miller?, found herself think
ing the same way. So single was her
bosses and her own view of herself
that she never considered asking for
the part she is now playing in The
Rains Came" Once it was men,
toned to her, however, she leaped
at the chance to do it; a leap that

around, however, and everything is
working out just dandy.
If Miss 10y ever writes her auto
biography, we will give her what we
regard as swell title for this chap
ter of her career. Just for the ask

interest he has taken in setting
aside money for bus route i'm
provement,- and for the earnest

ties and engineers and employees
IN their attempt to keep the bus

However, l feel that every coun-
ty superintendent, school prin-
cipal and committeeman in the
Northwest North Carolina will
bear me out in asserting that the
need far exceeds the amounts
heretofore received and grows
greater year by year.
If diversion has nothing to do
with these vital problems, then
please do not tell us when we
beg for aid for a people, patient
and long suffering but growing
more despairing with every de-
ferring of their desires, that
while their needs are apparent
and their requests reasonable,
the money is not available with
which to meet them.
1, therefore, base my position
upon the needs of the thousands
of miles of unimproved and mad
equately maintained secondary
roads of North Carolina; upon
the deserved demand for the
construction and completion of
important roads that will serve
farmers and housewives and
business men and motorists and
school boys and girls in fine COM
munities in the State that have
yet to feel the benefits of our
Good Roads program; upon the
problem of $4,000 miles of dirt
road over which school buses
must travel and the additional
miles which should be added if
equal educational opportunity is
to become a reality; and upon
keeping faith with those who pay
the taxes making up the highway
fund that these taxes shall not
be diverted from the purposes for
which they are paid.

plain that the support and main

will not impair any essential
service to the State. Let us have
the courage, if necessary, to bal
ance the budget. But can we af-
ford to balance it by continuing
to take from the counties their
sources of revenue, while placing
greater burdens upon them? Or
by using as a cushion for the
