cause the film is one OF the most
entertaining stories with music
we've seen in some time.

movie. which was made from Phil
Stong's beSt-Seller, as a vehicle
for Will Rogers and Janet Gaynor,
dipped il in Technicolor and
treated ii 10 a Rodgers and Ham
mcrStein musical score.
The result is a complete success,
for there was very little plot to
deal with originally and now it
has life pace and plenty OF laughs.
As YOU may recall the story
deals with a very nice farming
family. well-to-do, but very SIM
pie IN taste. who look forward 10
the annual State Fair. an occa-
sion of considerable Importance
when it comes TO preparing pic

BOARD TO STUDY
HID help PLEA

A committee of New Hanover
county women, who appeared be-
fore the County Board yeterday
morning asking for an appropria-
ton to provide for the hiring of an
assistant Home Demonstration
Agent in New Hanover county, fetl-
ton, which was made by Commits
ed to receive second of the mo-
sioner Harry Gardner, and was
later followed by a motion from
Commissioner Louis Coleman
providing that the commissioners
take the matter under considera-
ton.
Considerable discussion was held
on the matter, with Commissioners
Coleman and George Trask, al
though differing on some points, ex-
pressing the opinion that the re.
quest should not Immediately be
granted.
Mr.. Coleman, when told that the
chief duty of the new agent would
be to work with young people and
relieve the present agent sufficient
ly so she would be more active in
All club work, asked for informa-
ton on All clubs, saying, II don't
even know what All club is. II
it's good thing, I want it." He
followed this by expressing the
opinion that "a mother and father
could tell a child how to plant a
garden and all that.
His questions were readily ans
wered by members Of the Ladies
delegation, who explained in detail
the duties of the agent and the out
standing work being done by All
clubs in New Hanover.
Mr.. Trask based his objections on
the hard times which, he said,
were in the offing.
However, Mr.. Gardner and
Chairman Hewlett were high in
their praise of the benefits deriv-
ed by young people from organ.
lied training and Mr.. Gardner said
he considered the lack of aid t.
young people one of the greatest
shortcomings of New Hanover
county.
To provide an assistant agent
would require about $675 for the
remainder of this year, Mr.. Hew
lett explained, because the State
has offered to furnish a supple
mentary amount, to include travel
ing expenses.
A successful motion was intro
duced by Mr.. Gardner to make
available all seats at the Stadium
for the High school football games
His action was in answer to re
quest from Rupert Bryan, CT the
High school Athletic department
for additional seating space. Some
objection was voiced by Commits
sioners Gardner and Trask to the
county's setting up the seats be
cause, according to Coleman, "Wt
haven't got any help to put then
|up."
Mr.. Hewlett assured Mr.. Bryan
that action would be taken before
Fridays game and as soon as some
drainage can be completed at Win
ter Park school, help will be avail
able for the setting up of the seats
he stated.

for a contract to paint the new
