The lunch room is a much need

We express also our grateful
thanks for our white friends who
were so generous to US.
In last weeks issue of The

ROANOKE SCHOOL
HAS THIRD YOUTH
CENTER IN DARE
Mrs. Lillian Boone Is Person
Chiefly Responsible for
Center's Success

The Roanoke School building
resounds every Saturday night
with the wholesome gaiety of re-
creational activities under the lea
dership of Mrs. Lillian Boone.
Ever since last fall, when the pur-
chase of a photograph made
square dancing possible, and when
the needs of children and youth
were emphasized through the
formation of the Dare County
Council For Services to Children
and Youth, Mrs. Boone, as Coun-
Gil member for her community,
has donated her time and efforts
to provide activities for all ages,
and open to all the community.
With the small admission fee
Boone hopes to help furnish the
charged every Saturday, Mrs.
new school lunchroom with some
of the necessary equipment need
ed to provide the children with
adequate lunches.
Aided by Mrs. Agatha Gray.
Mrs. Boone has organized table
games as we'll as square dancing,
and since the program started has
held chicken and pig foot suppers.
The teen-agers participate in
round as well as square dancing,
and Mrs. Boone reports that the
average attendance has been a.
round so each Saturday night.
This is the third community
program for young people in Dare
County that is conducted regular
ly, with a fourth, at Kitty Hawk,
being organized. Already in full
swing are the Youth Center in
Manteo and the Recreation Cen
ter, just a weeks old, in Manns
Harbor. Both Mrs. Boomer, and
Mrs. Helen Duvall Daniels who
spanked the youth program in
MAINS Harbor, took their cue af-
ter they were appointed members
of the Dare County Council for
Services to Children and Youth,
realizing that wholesome recrea-
tional activities would fill very
large gap in services to young
people. Mrs. Boone has started
her program for the colored COM
munity with the barest possible
proving that given the children,
necessities for equipment and is
a place, and the willingness to
devote some time and magma
ton, a worthwhile job for the
welfare of young people can be
done.

high school players do when con-
fronted by that kind of situation,
the Manteo five kept their heads
and pressed the Weldon club un-

pass, whipped the ball downcourt
to Jerry Cahoon, who plunked it
through the hoop just before the

Interest Rate Highest
Since 1888 on 9t-Day
U. 5. Treasury Issue
By Wiliiom Hines

A hint that the Federal Resolve
Boards Open-Market Committee
may be quietly bowling out of the
bond-support business came today
following the announcement of a
new short-term Treasury bill issue
at an 18-year-high rate of interest.
The Treasury announced yester-
day the floating Of $1,100, ,691 100
issue of 91-day bills to be dated
March 8. The average price for
the securities will be $s9. .645 for
each 100000 face value. This
represents for these bills, which
are sold at a discount and re-
deemed at par, an annual interest
yield of 1.406 per cent. .-t@
This is the highest rate obtained
on 91-day bills since the bank
holiday of 1888. It is about 16
one-thousands of / per cent over
the yield of last weeks issue. The
previous level. 1890 per cent yield
has prevailed for the last five
weeks, and the yield has held quite
steadily around this figure for a
fairly long period.
Rises in interest yields on Gov
ernment securities usually are q
sign that the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn has slowed down on purchas-
ing done to keep their prices up.
A sharp rise-16 points on the new
issue as compared to a one or two
point normal fluctuation, is in
terpreted as meaning a drastic
curtailment Of support buying.
The new interest rate followed
by only few days a joint Treas
ury-Federal Reserve announce
ment of an accord" on Govern
ment fiscal policies. At the time
of that announcement, financial
authorities in the Government
bluntly refused to comment on
speculation that bond-support
buying might cease.

County Road Board Pleas
Heard by 3-Judqe Panel

tacking the constitutionality OF
Montgomery County's 1850 Road
Code.
The court permitted amend
ments to the suit and to the
county's reply. pointing out that
the plaintiff. Palisades, Inc, had
not shown any damages yet caused

clared 1t could not give an ad-
visory opinion on the constitu-
tionality Of the code without an
issue at stake.
David E. Belts, attorney fol
the real estate developers, filed the
suit after the firm found their
proposed roadways did not meet
specifications of the new code.
Mr.. Belts argued the ordinance
was unconstitutional because |,
was not passed in the month oi
May. as required by all county
legislation under the State consti-
tuition. He added that it does
not contain standards for grant
ing waivers, thereby making pos.
sible discriminatory decisions.
