N. c. Day At
Worlds Fair
Big Success

New York, June 2O-(AP)-The
North Carolina exhibit at the
worlds fair was dedicated Monday
by Gov. Clyde R. Hoey, his staff
state dignitaries and about $500
natives and residents of the state.
The governor spoke of the states
cultural, social, agricultural and in
dustrial accomplishments and de-
clared that North Carolina has not
neglected "the great spiritual values
on which a mighty civilization is
built.
He pointed out that the state has
a balanced budget, that it required
less for relief than any other state
during the depression and that il
is keeping pace with the nations
progress"
"This exhibit is representative OF
the educational and material growth
of North Carolina and seeks to
typify the balance between the
states agriculture and industry" he
said "Half of North Carolina lives
on the farm. The other half is in
y,
supplements agriculture.
Hoey said North Carolina was not
content to rest on past laurels but
was constantly planning for the fu-
ture He said the first white child
born in the new world was born on
Roanoke Island, N. c., and added
that "every one in North Carolina
time"
Two thousand people attended
ceremonies at the court of peace
prior to the dedication in the court
of states.
The governor detailed briefly the
development of the states tobacco
and textile industries and praised
"the high spirit of its citizens. He
said the states advertising cam
paign, begun with his administra-
ton, would be pushed.
Grover Whalen, fair head, said
that "days like this emphasize the
better understanding of problems OF
the peoples-and the main reason
the fair would not be complete with
out North Carolina is that your
state has SO much of everything"
19-Gun Salute Fired
A mounted Haskell Indian guard
escorted North Carolinians from the
fair gate to Perylon hall where they
signed the guest book. A 19-gun
salute was fired from Camp George
Washington, and army, navy and
marine units passed in review as part
of the exercises.
Hoey lunched with Whalen al
Perylon hall and called on Mayor
LaGuarda in New York.

BY FRED M. ALLEN
Supervisor of Sales, Henderson
Tobacco Market

Perhaps it would seem that every
one in Henderson fully realizes what
an asset our tobacco market is to the
city and that such an article as this
IS unnecessary; however, on the
contrary there are many who do
not realize that the over four mil
lion dollars paid out for tobacco in
Henderson last year is the equival-
ent of eight large industries with
payrolls Of 100000 each, annually.
In 1887, Vance County and the
surrounding territory had a good
tobacco crop, selling for SIS $50, 1871 IT
against $4,136,71944 in 1888. This
difference of over one million dol
lars in one year has been strongly
felt in Henderson trade channels.
What would business be if the en-
tire five million dollars were COM
pletely wiped out each year, which
would be the case if there were no
Henderson tobacco market. H'
A further comparison may be made
throughout Eastern Carolina. With
the exception of Raleigh, all of the
larger and certainly the most pros
porous towns and cities have tobac-
co markets, while those who do not
are in the next lower financial and
trade bracket
During the fall of the year, j. P.
Taylor Tobacco Company >and Hen
derson Tobacco Company employ
large numbers of Negroes, men and
women. Each warehouse and all
tobacco companies represented on
the market employ a large number
of laborers. Each one of these above
mentioned concerns employ their
factory managers, buyers, office help
floor managers and various other
classifications in a higher income
group. Stores must have additional
help during the fall to serve jusi
those mentioned, plus the thousands
of farmers in this section who look
to Henderson as their trading cen
ter and spend the larger part of five
million dollars annually in Hender-
son. Thus, one can see that the five
million dollars paid out for tobacco
while the largest single amount, only
begins to account for the money
turned loose in Henderson trade
channels.
How can each Individual living in
Henderson make this a larger and
even more progressive market?
First, the facts listed above cannot be
taken for granted. Several thous-
and dollars are spent each year tC
bring new farmers to Henderson and
to maintain the excellent facilities
of the market which past customers

Greeted at NOrlina
At Norlina a considerable crowd
was on hand to wave and cheer the
Henderson party. And, believe it or
not, half dozen to a dozen were at
the Petersburg station around 1890
to wave al the passing train.
The lights were turned out shortly
after midnight, but the train shortly
reached Richmond, and there was
no sleeping until after that. The
coaches became almost suddenly and
perfectly quiet from Richmond to
Fredericksburg but an Illuminated
industrial plant smokestack piercing
the skyline like giant finger at
tracted the attention of some Sleep
less boy, who said something. and
the whole car burst int GA buzz
again.
Dawn in Washington
Passing Washington naturally
aroused the crowd, and as the train
pulled out of the Union Station there
the first CLEAN of day was visible
in the east And from then on. onlv
the best sleepers could make anv

Of the way.
BY midnight, lunches began pop
ping out of boxes and paper wraps
and fried chicken, sandwiches and
cakes were in evidence on all sides.
Ice water was raided, but it lasted
and saved the lives figuratively, of
a thirsty crowd. A good many took
to the diner for breakfast, lured by
the specially printed Henderson high
school band menu cards.
c. C. Ward, district passenger
agent of the Seaboard, made the en-
tire trip with the party, looking
after every Imaginable detail and
comfort of the crowd so far as the
railroad was concerned. Miss Moore
proved a tireless worker, and all in
all, the first lap has been a pleasant
one.
Every one we'll and seems to be
having the time of their lives.
Joe Mayo got caught on the train
as it pulled out from the home sta
ton Saturday night, and was put
off at Norlina. Joel Cheaham settled
down to midnight banquet, clad
in his "jommas'', and Fat Adcock
dropped the big base drum long
enough to strut through the train
with his shirt tail fluttering to the
air conditioned breeze as Old Glory
flies in the wind None of them got
any sleep to speak Of.
Trip Great Thing
Henderson people back home who
made this trip possible for these
youngsters will never know the vast
pleasure and education they have
provided for them. Take it from one
who is along that it is money we'll
spent from every standpoint. And,
don't let any one tell you Henderson
isn't cashing in on the publicity. It
was true on the train, and was true
today at the fair. It is wonderfully
fine investment. fe'.

Strategical Significance Of Roosevelt's Peace Appeal
 By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT s. ALLEN Authors of '"The Washington Merry Go- -RoundC

Washington, April 19.-When Roosevelt summoned Cordell Hull to the Lincoln Study in the White House to dwarf his peace pro- posals to Hitler and Mussolini, two things were before him:
 One was set of cables from Ambassador Kennedy in London and Ambassador Bullitt in Paris, warning that war was almost cer- tain, might break as early as April 20.
 Second was Roosevelt's desire to register his views with the Ger man people and put upon them the onuS of war.
 The latter was more important than appears on the surface. Dur ing the Munich crisis last fall, U. s. reports from Germany, indi- cated that the German people had no conception, until the last few hours, that, their country might be on the verge of war. How ever, when American radio pro- grams, rebroadcast via short wave, began to hit the German people, there was public constern- ation.
 Appeal Slowed Up Hitler
 Since then, Nazi propaganda forces have shown increasing wor- ry over American short wave pro- grams, and it was Nazi objection to having Hitler's speech rebroad- cast from the United States, as well as the fact that his speech was weak, which caused him to be shut off the air so suddenly at Kiel.
 Also Roosevelt has had State Department reports that the Ger man people as 8 whole do not want war, even though they are for Hitler. His strategy, there fore, was to send a peace message which in the first place would be so important that it would get through to the German people and second would make them realize that the burden of peace or war rested upon Hitler.
 That he was partly successful in this is indicated by the fact that Hitler has now called a special session of the Reichstag for April 27 and will take one week to phrase his reply to Roosevelt; also

GLANDS SUBJECT
 OF FORUM GUEST
Dr. Joseph Aub of Boston Medical Members Speak-
 CT Tomorrow

Tomorrow, at 8:15 D. m. the Wat erbury Medical Association will hold it's next Forum at the Medical As sociation Building, 30 Central ave- nue.
 The subject to be discussed will be "Your Glands and What Happens When They Fail to Function Nor mally." Doctor Joseph Charles Auh of Boston, Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard University Medical School, and Past President of the association for the Study of Internal Secretions will be the principal speaker.
 The subject is of general interest to the public. Everyone knows oi diabetes which is due to lack of in- ternal secretion of the pancreas and of thyroid gland trouble which is caused by an over secretion of the thyroid gland. Most people are also familiar with the tall man at the circus whose increased growth is caused by an oversecretion of part of the pituitary gland.
 The secretion of our glands makes us active or sluggish, bright or stupid, happy or unhappy.
 Dr. Aub will tell some of the req sons for these reactions. He is a most interesting speaker and ex- ceptionally well qualified to pre- sent this subject. Doctor George Gosselin of Waterbury and Hartford will open the discussion. There will then be an opportunity for questions and general discussion from the audience. The public is cordially in- vited to attend and there will be no admission fee.

FISH SCALES FOR
 STUDY ADVOCATED
Anglers Cooperation Is Sought to Increase Size
 of Game Fish

Hartford, April 19 - The State Board of Fisheries and Game today sought cooperation of angles in col lecting fish scales for a biological study to increase the size of Con- necticut's game fish.
 The life story of each fish is re- corded in the growth rings of its scales-the same as rings in wood" Lyle M. Thorpe, aquatic biologist of the board, declared.
 'Fat years, lean years, spawning times and age at death are revealed in these scales diaries. If the length of the fish is determined hen scales are taken it is even possible. to tell how large the fish was at any given age" Thorpe stated.
 Chemical and physical examina- tions of water, studies of food sup plies, diseases and parasites of fish in principal lakes were launched by the board last summer.
 Heavy stocking, fishing restric- tions and other causes were found to have created an ver-population of pond fishes in some waters be- yond the natural food capacity to support.
 "As consequence, game fish therein have become dwarfs and do not attain legally y-catchable size.
 Anglers can aid us in determin- ing where fish populations are out of balance by applying to the board for special mailing envelopes and instructions for taking game fish scales" Thorpe announced.
