Boards Will Start Soon
On Work Of Preparing q
Comprehensive Plan for
County School Buildings

Orange county's board of COM
missioners and board of educa-
tion expect to have a joint meet
ing before the end Of the month
to start work on the preparation
of a comprehensive plan for the
erection of urgently needed
school buildings.
The county's share of the
legislatures appropriation Of
$25, 100000 for school buildings
is $250,00O, and its share of the
bond issue of $25, 200, 900 for the
same purpose, recently approved
by popular vote. is $151, 900,
making total of $4O1, 900 from
the State.
The county must add to this,
in in ei.aaeef order to meet its its urdoubbttedd
school building needs, an esti-
mated $75O.O0O of it's own funds;
and $250,000 is needed for q
building for county Offices and
for the interior reconstruction
of the court house. This means
q bond issue Of $1,000, 900, and
that is subject to a vote Of the
people Of the county.
The suggestion has been made
that an election be held in the
fall. Until they know how much
money win be available the coun-
ty authorities cannot Law out q
proper building program, be-
cause the available money must
be allotted equitably 10 the vari-
Gus sections Of the county.
II may be that, before the joint
meeting Of the two boards in
Hillsboro, the board Of educa-
tion will have . meeting hare 10
discuss wit q ,eal diaksisk
trustees the needs for white and
colored schools in Chapel Hill
and vicinity. One urgent need Is
for the completion Of the Chap
el Hill high school building. An
other is for a Negro high school
at the north end of the county.

Me- Ginty's Mighty Blows

Center Fielder Fenno McGinty
struck two mighty blows for Chapel
Hill in the last two games played by
the American Legion's junior baseball
team.
In the 5th inning of Saturdays
game with Oxford, with the score tied
at TT, and with two outs, two strikes,
and no balls, he hit q 3-run homer
over the left-felder's head. He did
this just after he had fouled two
short flies over first base and the OK
ford fielders had moved in, thinking
ne was strictly q Texas-league hitter.
Chapel Hill went on to win, l7-0, with
Tom Maultsby pitching.
Lou Hayworth umpired the entire
game wearing tuxedo. Pappy Ham
ilton, the base umpire, was watched
from the stands by his bride, the for
mer Miss Bill Lloyd.
In Wednesdays game with Wen
dell, McGinty again came TO bat In
the 9th inning with the score tied
(4-4) and one man on, and again he hit
q home-run. A. J. Johnson, the Chapel

News and Observer ian opinion with
which the editor Of this newspaper
agrees), "Mr. Martin makes sue
cessful effort to portray the man AZ
he is, and as he is envisioned by both
his admirers and his critics"
The general verdict is likely to be

Rotary's Pig Chain
Is Very Successful

DR.. George Chrisman, chairman of
the rural-urban committee of the
Chapel Hill Rotary Club, reported to
the club at its meeting night before
last that the clubs Pig Chain had
bred 1913 registered pigs in Orange
county since it began operation three
years ago, and that many Of these
pigs had won prizes at the State
Fair.
The club now has IS pigs. Also it
has . handsome boar named Mayne
of Berryhill. The Berryhill part of
the name is due to the boar's having
come from the w. r. Berryhill farm.
This is the way the chain works:
The Rotary Club gives SOW to All
club member or Future Farmers Of
America member From the sow's
first family female pig is given to
the Rotary Club. When this pig grows
into a sow it is given to another Al
or FLA. member, and the Rotary
Club gets another female pig, which
grows into a SOW. And so the chain
goes on.
Having in mind the recent crack by
Governor Scott, to the effect that civic
clubs didn't do anything important
for farmers, Earl Peacock proposed,
after DR.. Chrisman finished reading
his report, that the report be sent to
the Governor.

Lake Resort Is
Opened 3 Miles
South of Town

Clearwater Lake, a 5-acre
sheet of water, has just been
opened to the public as a swim
ming and picnic resort three
miles south of Chapel Hill on the
Mount Carmel-Farrington Mill
road. It's attractions include a
high diving board, float, refresh
ment stand, picnic tables, barbe-
cue pit, and dressing rooms.
To reach the lake, drive out the
Pittsboro road about a mile,
turn left up the hill just beyond
the Morgan Creek bridge, and
take the third unpaved road to
the right. This is about 12 miles
from the Pittsboro road, and the
lake is about 400 yards from the
turmoil.
The lake is owned by M. j.
Dawson and A. S. Blackwood
and is operated for them by Jed
Norwood. it It is open all day Sat-
urday and from noon on during
other days. The charge for swim
ming is 25 cents. Picnic facilities
are free.
Mr.. Dawson and Mr.. Black
wood created the lake three
years ago by building a dam
across a small stream between
two wooded hills. It's waters are
never muddy because it is fed by
several nearby springs and has
a constant overflow. For waders
and sun-bathers there is q sandy
beach where the water is .shal=
low near the shore. The lake is
q feet deep in the middle and 10
feet deep under the diving tower.
1t is stocked with bass and
Dream. Good-sized fish can be
seen swimming in the clear
water at any time.
When we ware building the
dam we planned to use the lake
for fishing only" Mr.. Black
wood said yesterday. But it
turned out to be so pretty and
clear that we decided to open it
for swimming"
One of the pleasures of driv-
ing out to Clearwater Lake is
seeing the beautiful flower gar
den at Mr.. Blackwood's home
near the lake road turmoil. This
wonderful display of sweet peas,
marigolds, zinnias, and other
snowy blossoms is the handi-
work of Mrs. Blackwood.

A person who knows what
names to give to women's gar.
ments tells me | made an error
IN writing that Mrs. BayarC
Wootten wore tea gown at the
party in her honor three weeks
ago. 1t seems | should have
written cocktail gown. Mrs.
Randolph, at the Little Shop
answering my inquiry by tele-
phone about the difference in use
and design, informs me that a
tea gown is worn by hostess
in her own home while a cocktail
gown is worn away from home
A cocktail gown tends to snap
piness; a tea gown is longer and,
in comparison, is more sedate
Of course | am not telling WON
en- who go to parties anything
they don't know already, but
want to set the record straight
in the Weekly.
Here's another record

about the party it was not stat
ed whether or not Mrs. Wootten
had paint on her fingernails :
Mrs. Wootten writes: my
fingernails were not painted and
never have BEEN"
A word that has been much
over-used in the last few years
is "streamline." It looks as il
you never pick up a newspaper
or a magazine that you don't
read about something's being
''streamlined." Automobiles,
clothes, furniture, houses, or
carnations, methods, every
thing. Usually it doesn't mean q
thing except that somebody likes
to talk in a fancy way. Was there
ever anything more ridiculous
than to apply the word stream
lined" to the new chubby fat
Kle in automobiles? Mayor
er made a statement last
9k about his plans for improv-
ing the town government. | am
grateful to him for not drag
ging in the word "streamline. -

removed, repressive legislation
was defeated. In 1858 a provision
to strike the word white" from
the constitutional article on voting
was passed.
The Negro finds in this state
fun equality in education and suf-
frage and steadily decreasing pre-
judice in business. Though much
remains to be done in the occupa-
tional field, the work of the Urban
league and other organizations
have gone far to remove unfair
their rightful place in business and
barriers and to gain for Negroes
the professions.
The state in this Centennial
year honors the work of the early
Negro settlers for the part they
played in wrestling this area from
the wilderness, for promoting
social, educational and religious
life. The record of their accom-
plishments forms an inspiring
chapter in the history of the state.

THE NEGRO PIONEERS
Editorial In June i, st. Paul
PIONEER PRESS

The part of the Negro in build
ing up Minnesota and the North
west is told in the Centennial adj
ton Of the st. Paul Recorder, pub
lished by Cecil E. Newman. There
had been Negroes in the North
land long before the Emancipation
Proclamation, one of whom was
bred Scott, who was to figure in
an important court battle on
slavery. John Stewart, who had
been conducting religious and edu-
cational work among the Indians
around 1920, is said to have been
the first Protestant missionary in
the Northwest.
But the first organized Negro
migration to the Minnesota ter
ritory, looked upon as the land Of
liberty and opportunity, came in
1853, when q band of 300 Negro
pioneers, under the leadership of
Robert T. Hickman, made their
way north. These refugees, steal
ing away from Southern slave
owners, came north on q steamer,
the War Eagle. They settled at
st. Paul, st. Anthony Falls and
Saltwater. Hickman, who was to
become an outstanding figure in
the development of his people in
Minnesota. founded the Pilgrim
Baptist church, now the largest
Negro church in st. Paul.
These newcomers found here
prejudice and encouragement and
innumerable other obstacles. At
first the schools were closed to
them; the ballot boxes were for
whites only" But these were de-
termined, hard working men and
women of high resolve and in
itiative who acquitted themselves
well. They gained the friendship
and support Of the fair-minded
white population, and as time
went on the obstacles were largely

Pandit said she had always been
moved by the sympathy and pro-
lection with which the colored
community had always surrounded
her at every point Of contact. She
talked Of the future, Of the basic
necessity of being true to ones
inner faith, coupled with q win TO
action and readiness to sacrifice.
She spoke Of the challenge TO
youth; how she felt sure our
youth would rise to the chal-
lenge and how she hoped the
youth Of India would meet the
challenge. To all Of US she said;
"YOu need India; India needs
you"

in his own way may, and must, do

POEM

BY JOHN HENRIK CLARKE
You came after my heart had
been broken
So completely it could never
mend;
And I had sworn to the Gods of
Romance
Never to love again.
I had been faithful to a previous
one,
Who crushed my heart, for the
sake Of fun;
When you came and offered true
love,
I had not the strength to respond.
So go away and let me be;
And, behind you, close the gate;
I could have loved you passion
ately-
Only you came too late.

Homes not a gift from twisting

It's firmly built by man and mate.
Blow, stormy winds, hard as you
can;
A house may fall, a home will
stand.
A home is peace, a home is love
That's based on faith in God

It's hope, it's fear, an honest life;
A man in love, q faithful wife.
It's heartfelt flows of harmony
AS man supports his family.
It's thrills Of youth with tender
years,
It's daddy's pride and mama's
tears.
It's children happy, no neglect,
With eyes that shine with self re-
spect.
These things we need, for it is

Without these things we have no
home.
