Monster JigsalD
Puzzle ConfrOnts
BE Cabin Builders

Rluffton college students facing the
task of constructing a new cabin on
the college farm northwest of here
have monster jigsaw puzzle on their
hands.
The logs forming the walls must
be fitted together in the same posl,
tions occupied in the original struc'
ture, which was dismantied by stu
dent crews to make way for the new
Route 25 northeast of Beaverdan
earlier this year. !.
Progress thus far, work co-oroi-
nator Dave Tice said, includes pour
ing of a four-inch thick concrete fooi
and concrete porch columns. Earlier
footers were dug and poured in foun-
dation preparations. q,
Contrary to earlier plans, the log
building viii not have a concrete
porch floor. but instead there will be
a large flagstone surface with sand
base. #
The cabin is being erected with
intentions of its lasting longer than
the former building. Tice said tnai
complete drainage system has been
laid, which should add to the dur
ability of the structure and founda-
ton.
He stated that if the weather re-
mains favorable, much more work
will be done yet this year.

PAINTINGS OF JOHN S.
THOMPSON AT GAINS
RORQ BRANCH LIBRARY


The Gainsboro Branch Lii
brary has on display a large
number of oil paintings by
the talented local artist,
John Thompson. This exhi-
bition marks the initial
showing of the unusual in
terpretations by this new
conner to the field of art. 1t
also affords art lovers an
opportunity to view the pro-
auctions of this highly gift
ed young Negro, who has ex-
pressed himself successfully
in a number of mediums.
The 10 paintings in oil by
Thompson will most GER
tainly repay the attention of
those who take the trouble
to view them, and study his
breadth and depth of artistic
expression. Many of them
are reproductions from the
Old Masters, and show evil
dences of his ingenious Gre
alive ability, as well as long
hours of hard work.
Unlike most artists of
note Thompson has had little
or no formal training. This
has not discouraged his eff
forts to transform his inner
feelings to the world
through works of enduring
beauty. 1t has caused many
of his fondest ambitions in
achieving recognition as a
true artist to perish in the
process of accomplishment.
After assuming his RESPONSE
bilities at his home, and to
his family and four children,
little is left for investment
in art materials.
After the day ends from
his regular employment,
Thompson hastens to his
home on Rorer Avenue South
West, to greet his happy
, family, enjoy the evening
meal, and then happily retire

laski is fortunate in having
the Reverend w. T. Frazier
assigned as the Tribune
representative for this dis
trict. We feel that he is well
qualified to hold this posi-
ton. We realize that such
an assignment carries heavy
responsibilities in that the
assignee is the middle man
between the paper and the
people. He is both respon-
sible to the people and for
the people. He is likewise
responsible to and for the
paper that he represents. He
must safeguard the policies
of the paper and also look
after the interests of the
people Of his district. We
believe that "Tank" Frazier
will and can do both. We also
believe that the Tribune can
and will be an asset to the
community. We realize that
due to certain conditions he
will not be able to give full
time to the paper, but we
know that he will do his best.
Here is luck to both "Tank"
and the Tribune.
Although we have never
been inside the new place
of amusement, Cedar Inn,
out on route 80, we under
stand that it is quite a nice
place. From what we can
hear the location as well as
the general set-up is ideal
for an evenings enjoyment,
| whether it be dancing, or
just sitting in the vehicle
slipping a cola and watching
the moon rise over Peaks
Knob. We intend to visit
Cedar Inn in the near future
and then we can bring you
the story as well as the pro-
prietor and owner, DR.. Lo-
gan.
There are several people
who have been sick or con-
| fined to their home for some
time, and we have missed
seeing them about the town,
at church or on the job and
we feel that something
should be said about them
and hope that God will speed
their recovery. They are:
Mrs. Cordia Hunter, Mr.. Les
lie Robinson, Mrs. Mary
Johnson and Mrs. Matte Nc
Kinney.

Unemployment Near
Peak, Hearing Told

Data indicating that unem-
ployment has about reached a
peak was given to the joint
House-Senate Economic Com
mittee today by Deputy Budget
Director Rowland Hughes.
Chairman Wolcott. Republi-
can, of Michigan said Mr.. Hughes
testified the new budget esti-
mates were based on an assump-
ton that unemployment would
not rise above 2.5 million.
Latest census figures indicate
it is now at 2.3 million.
Mr.. Wolcott said he thought
it could be assumed that for the
foreseeable future unemploy-
ment will hover between and
2.5 million.
The Unemployment Act OF 1916
requires the joint committee to
review the Presidents annual
economic report and make its
own findings by March as to the
outlook. The committee will be-
gin two weeks of open hearings
tomorrow with Treasury Secre-
tary Humphrey as the first wit
ness.

training was responsible for the
deaths of their officer candidate
sons at Quantico last July
The fathers told House

their sons died of Sunstroke be-
cause they were required to take
a fast and prolonged hike over

The fathers emphasized re-
peatedly that they appeared as
witnesses not in a spirit of vim
dictiveness but in the hope that
steps will be taken to save other

Nevertheless, Mr.. Malone bit

In front of the Red one with
the hammer and sickle on it,

In some ways the Soviet EN-
bassy is a fitting place for re-
sumption of the Berlin confer
ence. 1t provides a setting which
manages to combine the most
appalling artistic concepts with
the most expert craftsmanship.
1t is a place where the most
familiar forms become grotesque
or obscure in process of dis
tortion which can never quite be
accurately pinned down, where
the most simple effects are lost
in overstatement and a compul-
sion to impress.
1t is in this setting that the
Soviet government will unveil
it's plan for the future of Ger
many in the course of the coming
week.
