Observations

observations
Last Sunday afternoon, the
regular meeting Of the Samuel
Coleridge- Taylor Musical Asso-
citation maintained its usual
standard Of excellence. Spon-
sored by Clara r. Christian, the
audience was treated to two ex-
cellent baritone songs by Herbert
Williams, followed by two more
of high caliber by Ella Hayes.
Ernest O'Banyoun was at the
piano. Joseph Stewart played a
group Of Chopin Preludes on the
piano, rounding out pleasing
prelude to the speaker. Walter ].
Stevens, in his own way, then
introduced the speaker, Atty
Vincent Mattola, who spoke on
his recent hrip to his birthplace,
in Italy, and drew some inter
esting mental pictures for the |
audience. Followed a question /
1 period which drew out some
matters of current interest, and /
completed a most succ essful |
meeting. The next program May /
27, will be sponsored by Lillian
Williams, and will present Phyllis
Tavada, soprano; Charles Inniss,
baritone; Donald Joseph, reader, /
and Mabel Worthy, speaker.
Harold DeMund, a member of
the Liberal Arts Club, sang for
the Coffee Hour, sponsored by
the Liberian College Club, at the
International Institute, 1870 Bea-
con street, Sunday, April IS, at
500 o'clock. He was accom-
panied by Sammy Lowe. Earl
Wiate's New England Chorus
finished the program and all was
received enthusiastically.

My old friend, Charlie Harris,
has just written me letter from
his citadel, in Orangeburg, S. c.,
State College, and he tells me
that he reads my column, regu-
larly, and agrees with much of
what I write-boostings, philoso-
ply and all that. Makes me feel
pretty good TO have Charlie re-
member me. He, too, is sold on
the singing of Roland Hayes to
such an extent that he submits
anopen letter to him, which it
does me proud to append, as
follows:
| AN OPEN LETTER TO
ROLAND HAYES, BOSTON,
MASS.
Dear Friend Roland:
Your visit plus your recital
gave us inspiration Of infinite
value. Although I have not heard
all the singers who are now be-
fore the public. I 60 out on the
proverbial limb, and say you are
the worlds top protector of words
and their tunes. / know you must
be cognizant and grateful that
our Creator stepped over into
the Hills Of Tennessee long ago
and touched you; commanding
you to go forth to quicken and
enrich the souls Of men with un-
forgettable experience and
memories. AS l sat listening to

rolled back to that day in May,

It will be necessary for her to
remain in a cast for four or five
months.
Miss Byrd was riding with the
Blue Ridge Hunt on the estate of
Col. George A. Greenhalgh near
the Shenandoah River. Her horse
stepped in a hole as it galloped
downhill and she was thrown over
its head.
It was her second such acci-

thrown and also suffered broken
vertebra, while riding in the same

BOSTON, May 5.-There's a
colder, wetter Is or 20 years in
your future.
That is, if you are a North
American, a European or an Ash
attic and if you don't live in certain
special places.
Hurd C. Willett, professor of
meteorology at the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology has studied
a couple of hundred years of sun
spot cycles and weather. Using
a weather yardstick constructed
of what's happened in the past.
he has laid it upon the future and
has come up with a long-range
forecast.
Among other things, he says
glaciers will advance.
Prof. Willett's "eXtrapolation of
sunspot-climate relationships" ap-
pears in the American Meteoro-
logical Societys Journal of Mete-
Iorology.
Prof. Willett comedies his
weather yardstick may not be
quite accurate. 1T is" he says,
dubious procedure to base fore
casts on incomplete data"
But he adds, Z" it is inconvenient
to wait 200 years longer for the
necessary data"
So here goes-to the best of
Prof. Willett'S knowledge.
THE temperature level over
much of the world will fall Sigpifi-
cantly during the next Is years,
probably reaching a first minimum
level during the 1960-1965 pentad.
THE rainfall in lower middle
latitudes, south of so degrees
north, will be substantially higher
during the next 20 years, particu-
larly in those regions which were
drieSt between 1920-1940. (South-
ern Canada, the United States,
France. Southern Germany, Czech
oSlovakia, Southern Russia, most
of China and Japan, and points
south. fall in that zone below so
degrees.)
"The general recent recession of

United States probably will reach
a first maximum by 1860"
Why is all this going to happen?
Because, according to Prof. Will
lett, we are heading for a period
of reduced sunspot activity.
"The next sunspot maximum will
be delayed until at least 1862, pos
Sibly longer" he says and ex-

Smith and Rev. Lester G. Parkes
were spokesman for the Pro-
Gaddy delegation at the meeting.
Following the presentation of
the grievances by the PROBABLY
delegation to the county board,
Chairman J. w. (Buck) Peay
told the group it had three alter
natives. 1t could prefer charges
against the local board members,
all five members could resign and
have new ones appointed or the
board could reconvene and try
to thrash out their differences.
The county board pointed out
that it had no authority to re-
instate Gaddy.
Omar Stanley was one of the
Spokesman for the anti-Gaddy
delegation and limitations were
made that the principal had sent
some CT the students home and
told them they would be expelled
if they told their parents that
they had had only one lesson
taught them during the week.
Spokesman also charged that
Gaddy had preached" to the
students enough to cause some
of them to faint and that the
janitor would come in and carry
them out.
The delegation pointed out to
the board that they had already
voted to hire Greeley Long,
former Tabor City high school
student and athletic star, to re-
place Gaddy as principal. Long
:: ne tive Of. the Guideway Sec
ton, made a name for himself

GUIDEWAY - A school con.
troversary rocked this farming
community this week in a man
ner seldom remembered by local
citizenry and resulted in two
delegations appearing before the
County Board of Education to
present their case on Tuesday
night.
The controversary arose when
the five man local board of
school trustees voted not to re-
elect Principal ]. F. Gaddy and
Teacher Mrs. David Kelly, of
Tabor City.
A community clamor arose in
such loudness that the school
board reconvened and rehired
Mrs. Kelly. However, the failure
to reflect Principal Gaddy de-
cision stood by a three to two
vote.
At a PTA meeting of the
Guideway school patrons last
Friday night, the Chairman OF
the board was asked to give rea'
sons why Gaddy was not reflect
ed. He has been quoted as say
ing Il refuse to answer that"
The school board chairman is
Omar Stanley. Other members
of the board are John Pickett

school for three years and spokes
