our newly elected representative
to the state legislature.
"The university attempts to find

President Atkinson also pointed
out the accomplishment of the
Catholic church in the field OF
education long before we had our
public schools.
Governor Bob Jones, in com
menting on Bishop Gercke's dedi
catory sermon, said that he had
only one regret-that he wished
everyone in the United States
could have heard 1t. Governor
Jones has attended dedioations
during his term of office-dedi
cations at which monuments were
erected for the priests who led the
missions into this state years ago
but, as the governor put it, we
must consider the dedication of
st. James as a monument to a liv.

Bishop Gercke pointed out that
the Catholic church has a spirit

strong faith, faith that will lead

Father Murphy came in for
praise on all sides, especially from
the state officials who lauded his
unselfish, rehabilitation work in
the state institutions. Urged to
speak after he had not included
himself on the program, Father
Murphy stated that the greatest
proof of democracy is where creed
makes no difference as long as
democratic principles remain.

the Democratic candidate.
! "There has never been a time
in our history when men and wo.
men Of our county should be
more proud of being Democrats
than is the case today" Mr.. Aus
tin said.
In outlining some of the bene-
fits, he pointed out the progress
that has been made on roads and
highways, the school system, the
farm department that has paid
out directly and indirectly over
100000 in the past four years;
the health department and the So
cial security program.
He said 322 needy and aged
persons are receiving an average
of 1924 per month; around 200
dependent children are getting an
average of about $500 per month
and that II blind persons are re-
ceiving around $11 per month.
There are still good many
old persons in the county who
should be on this program and l
am sorry that funds at the pre-
sent time will not permit the adj

However, if I am elected will
favor making additional appro-
priations for the old age pensions
and the establishment of a more
extensive equalization fund"
In conclusion he stated that
eve have been able to do all of
these things with a levy of only
100000, whereas in 1926 the
levy in Ashe county was $242,-
