High School
Group Enjoys
Raleigh Trip
BY ROSALIE WATSON.

Celebrating the centennial of the
Raleigh & Castor railway and the
State Capitol, the Henderson high
school band and the Junior High
drum and bugle corps, sponsored by
the KiWaniS club of Henderson, were
invited and attended the festivities
held IN Raleigh May 81.
Leaving here at II o'clock, they
arrived in Raleigh at 1915. Upon
their arrival, they boarded Grey
hound buses and journeyed to the
State College cafeteria, where din
ner was enjoyed by all.
Following dinner, the band and
drum and bugle corps marched in
the parade, receiving much praise
along the entire parade.
II was said by Mayor Powell that
the Henderson high school band re-
'ceived more applause when they
passed the reviewers stand than did
any other band.
Other bands participating were the
Raleigh high school, American Lee
gion, N. c. State College red coat
band, Roanoke Rapids high school,
service band, and the State College
R. O. T. c. drum and bugle corps.
Also in the parade were a number
of outstanding celebrities, including
Governor Hocy and his family, the
mayor Of Raleigh and the officials OF
the celebration.
The parade was 35 minutes long,
portraying former modes OF trans
portation as contrasted with that OF
today.
An interesting feature in this con-
trast was a 1912 model Of electric
car, which was followed by one Of
the latest models on the market to-
day.
Miss Betty Armfield, chosen to re-
present Miss Henderson,, parti-
cipated in the dance. which took
place last night. Two orchestras fur
nisned the music for the occasion.

TO ENTER GHETTO
Approximately 100000 Will
Begin New Life Behind
Eight-FOOt Wall

BERLIN, Nov. 25.-R-ApproXi-
mately 500, 600 Jews will begin to-
morrow a new life behind an eight
foot concrete wall built by Ger
mans to enclose the Ghetto dis
trict of Warsaw, dispatches from
the former Polish capt | reported
tonight.
By German decree, all Jews in
Warsaw have been required to
take up residence in the Ghetto,
which lies in the central district
of the city, and it has become over
crowded, with as many as seven
persons living in one room in some
buildings.
The Germans built the wall last
winter, saying the action was not
anti-Semitic but simply a health
measure to protect Poles and Jews
alike from the pestilences likely
to follow total war.
They left 18 entrances open-but
effective tomorrow all persons who
wish to enter or leave must have
a special pass. This applies also
to any gentle Pole wishing to en-
ter the district temporarily.
The Jews have been busy taking
their belongings and their business
properties within the Warsaw wall.

DEFENSE HOUSING
PUSHED BY I'D R.
Authorizes Federal YORK S
Agency To Build Homes
For 6,750 Families

WASHINGTON, Nov. rs. - Up -
needs in II communities would not
be met by private capital. President
Roosevelt authorized the federal
works administration today to pro-
coed at once with the construction
of homes for $3.50 families.
The work will be financed out of a
total of approximately $3.50, 900, 900 of
federal funds available for such pro-
jects.
Officials said that private capital
would provide additional housing for
defense workers in some of the COM
munities mentioned, but that private
development was hindered by fears
that employment in defense indus
tries and in army and navy estab-
lishments would diminish after a few
years.
Charles F. Palmer, the defense
housing coordinator, announced the
Presidents finding and also disclos-
ed the appointment of Philip Norton
of Los Angeles and Morton Bodfis.l
of Chicago, to encourage expansion
of private enterprise in the housing
field.
Officials said that the homes au
thorized by President Roosevelt
would be multiple dwellings-mostly
row houses with fronts varied to re-
lieve the monotony Of that type of
construction. They will be for mar
ried couples, it was said, and will
have two or three bedrooms each.
Most will be occupied by civilian en-
ployes OF the army and navy or civ
ilian employees of defense industries
Officials said that construction
generally would be frame, but that
the houses would be built to last as
long as the average. Methods of
management after their completion
have not been decided upon, they
added, but there has been some talk
of having management brokers or
local authorities collect the rentals
the present need for defence
housing is passed, it was said, the
homes might, be turned owe to To-
housing authorities-but this also
1as not been decided.
