Looking This Way

\ State Conservation Department
official has returned from trip
north to report that numerous in
6u<tries now domicilcd - that sec
ton are casting longing eyes toward
North Carolina. and arc looking this
way for a possible new location for
their operations. He fGrthCr offers
the assurance that these concerns
are not promotion schemes nor the
lly-by-night type. but arc honestly
hunting more desirable points from
which to carry on.
The official naturally does not so
into detail in his public statement,
and it is not known just what are
the requirements sought. Probably
they vary according to the nature OF
the business and its size.
Most communities have had eNper-
fences of one kind or another with
DroSpectorS asking 10: cash conSld-
CREATIONS in return for their coming.
This sort Of activity seems now to
have been lcS$ened. with most such
offers coming in good faith and hold
ng promise in proportion to their
magnitude. At least that would APP
pear 10 be true of those that have
uoen contacted by local interests.
In this connection, it may be OBJ
served that little has been said late
" about the seemingly red hot
prospects that Henderson has had on
the line recently. There is general
hoDefuiness thu; progress IS being
made on the quiet, and that some
thing genuinely tangible and, OF
course, encouraging may be ready
for public consumption in the near
future. Every one agrees that Hen
derson needs more payrClIS to bolst-
CT its industrial structure, and those
who are in position 10 make these
things possible will DC doing them
selves and tie community as whole
d great scri zee by svizing the cppor-
tunities as trey appear.

OTHERS VIEWS

10 the Editor:
North Carolina currently finds IL
self III the midst OF gubcrnatOrial
campaign featuring more candidates
than any it has ever had. ConSc-
qucutly, Il bchoves the voters to scan
more closely than ever those who
aspire to this high position.
indefinite statements should have
no Importance in the minds OF the
voters and | am wondering OF the
voters and | am wondering II the
only ono Of the seven Democratic
candidates mas taken AN absolute
stand on every Issue nc has faced.
A. J. Maxwell, J. NJ. Broughton,
Lee Graycly, Paul Grady, W. +.
Horton have all 'cndorScd' the idea
Of teacher pensions, some OF them
Nth reservation Of when funds are
available" Tom Cooper, Whining
tons plain-Spokcn mayor, has sad,
If ann elected governor, | will give
the teachers Of the State pensions
or | will resign
Grady and Horton have all announc-
cd they are "opposcd' to diversion
of State highway funds, while again
the pIain-spoken mule dealer has
said. IF | am elected | will insist on
SIS automobile license tags and lower
gasoline taxes. With these there
won't be any surplus to divert, and
all this tall; of diversion will be
gone with the gang"
MAXWELL BrOughton, GraVcly,
Grady and Horton have said general
ly that the sales tax is not a de-
Sirabe but necessary evil, While
again the plain-spOken man OF the
tobacco field has come out flat-1oot-
edly and demanded reduction OF the
sales tax one-half per cent each
biennium, looking TO its ultimate re-
peal.
These are but few of the issues
in the current campaign but are the
stands which these men have taken
indicative Of what their future &C
tons will be? A man who speaks IN
decisively and unspecifically is apt to
act in the same manner.
Here is matter for the thoughts
of the voters of North Carolina when
they decide who shall administer the
affairs of the State for the next four
years.

March Of Time Is
To Shew At Carolina

In "Crisis in t h Q Pacific"
which comes to the Carolina
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
of this week the March of Time
this month focuses attention on
the new dilemma facing the U.
S. in the Far East today, and
pictures the U. S. Nays de-
tense strategy centering around
Guam, Americas tiny island out
post in the heart of the South
Pacific area that Japan is now
seeking to control.
Since the Philippines a d
Guam became U. S. possessions
following the Spanish American
war, The March of Time points
out, the United States has been
a recognized power in the Far
East. France and England-the
other two great Western ma
tions with interests in the Far
East-are now busy fighting a
war at home, and Japanese
militarists are taking this Op-
portunity to push forward their
well-advertised plans to domi-
nate the entire South Pacific
and drive the white man out of
Asia. Thus, the film shows,
Americas interests il the Far
East are seriously threatened.
The March of Time wildly
pictures the defense strategy
of the U. S. Navy in the Paci-
flee, and shows how the island of
Guam-over the fertilization of
which there was a bitter battle
in congress last year-figures
in these defense plans.
In exclusive scenes filmed for
the first time with the permits
sion and full CO.. .,eration of the
U. S. Navy, the March of Time
also shows how 21,OO0 American
civilians live and work in Guam
under the military dictatorship
of a navy captain.

DOCTOR X MOVIE
WILL SHOW HERE
The Return Of Doctor X Is
Billed At Royal On
Monday

Latest in a line of ubiquitous no
stamina and scientific fervor that
the grave itself proved unequal to
contain them, is the homicidal DR..
Xavier, who is now cavorting with
sinister vigor through the new mys-
terry film, "The Return of Doctor
x" showing at the Royal tomorrow.
Enacted by Humphrey Bogart.
whose standing as a one-man crime
wave was thought to grant him full
right to assume DR.. Xavier's time
honored mantle of ma1ignity, the
famous doctor is again welding his
callous scalpel upon innocent and
unwilling victims.
In the film DR.. Xavier is found
as one of five different murder sus-
poets. The events which center
around him lead cast and film au.
dience alike over the brink of every
day life, and into a whirlpool of
weird happenings.
DIR. Xavier made his first breath
taking appearance in the summer
OF 1882, in a shocker which War.
