The meet is expected to be one of the largest ever held in the South Atlantic sates with the possible exception of the annual meet held in Miami. One thousand invitations will be mailed out to aviators all over the country asking them to participate in the events and it is figured that not less than one hundred will ac cept.

In addition to asking the atti tude taken toward the community by the people who live there, man ufacturers and others interested in the community usually, if not al ways, ask: “What kind of stores are in this town?” What they really mean by the question is this: “Is the answer merely a statement made by the merchants, or is it the opinion of the people?” In other w’ords, is the answer a biased one, or is it wholly true?

C., April 2.— The Federal Board for Vocational Education has rehabilitated since 1921 more than 38,000 disabled persons, the Director of the Board, Dr. J. C. Wright, stated recently. To accomplish the results contem plated in vocational rehabilitation, when it was first undertaken by the Government, it was stated, a new service program had to be de veloped and a competent staff ac quired. In addition to these achievements, a case system of studying individual disabilities had to be worked out, it was explained. Commenting upon the work Dr. Wright continued: “Efficient rehabilitation work cannot be accomplished if a single worker attempts to serve more than 75 to 100 persons in the var ious stages of rehabilitation. The production of rehabilitations by one agent does not on the average > exceed more than 35 or 40 cases) per year, if the work is done prop- | erly. It can readily be seen, there fore, that rehabilitation depart ments in the states continuously meet opposition to the recruiting Df a staff adequate to handle the case load needing assistance. Edu cational administrators who are accustomed to employing super visors in various fields who may deal with as many as 400 or nore schools, each of which handles many students, find it difficult to justify a staff of rehabilitation workers adequate to handle the job in a particular community. State boards and legislators frown, naturally, upon such enlargements of personnel, although the need may readily be demonstrated.” Dr. Wright added that these dif ficulties were gradually being overcome and that the work was progressing with greater efficiency as the states were beginning to realize that rehabilitation was equally a state and national func tion. ... / X— Educational motion picture films used by the United States department of agriculture are shown in practically every civil ized country of the world. the Service ships here for the meet.

I have repeatedly said that the money you earn is your money and you have a perfect right to spend it where you please, with whom you please and for what you please. BUT if the people of a community make a practice of buying too large a per centage of merchandise out of town, or if they have a reputation for doing that, it shows one of two things: either the stores are below standard; or the necple who make up the commun ity are not loyal, community- minded people. And one is as bad as the other, so far as industry and other interested parties are concerned. Anybody, any organization or any business, interested in Mc Cormick will sooner or later ask about your stores; and they want the answer to be fact, not a fancy They want to know what YOU think a?)out them, for YOU and the other people who live and work in the community are the one; who really are in a position tc know. If the question cannot be answered or is not answered; and if some other town does answer that; other town has the advantage and that advantage may be just enough to keep McCormick iron- being selected for a new factory new home owners, or any of r dozen things for which people consider towns. Through the McCormick Me - senger and' local Lions Club th answering cf this important ques tion is made possible. ALL YOT have to do is to send your an swers to the following questions me and I will see that inquiring “customers” of McCormick an given the information. I will dc that, if YOU will do YOUR part. Here are the questions: 2. Are the stores in McCormici- excellent, good, fair or poor? 2. What would you suggest tc rnaxe them what you would like tc have them? S. Do you buy things out of town? If so why? Answer these three questions honestly, frankly—just as you really FEEL about it, and you wil; hot be doing McCormick a gbod j turn but actually doing somethim j for yourself and for the good of ! your own pocket book. This is another chance for you tc show whether you are reallj interested and “for” McCormick if you are willing to “Help Build’ McCormick. You cannot expec McCormick to become a bigger bvtter, more attractive place if o. leiuse to do what you can to muiv 90, and you CAN do this—A . The State of Sunday says, with $30,773 in cash already donated toward the Baptist hospital build ing fund campaign and nearly enough in subscriptions to com plete the balance of the first $45,- 000 to be matched by a like amount from the Duke endowment fund, it is possible that this pri mary goal will be reached within the next few days, according to Dr. W. M. Whiteside, superintend ent of the hospital. When $45,000 has been raised, removal of dirt for the new’ building will be start ed at once, he said. The following is the statement as given by Doctor Whiteside: “We have $30,773 in cash and donations which the Duke endow ment has agreed to accept as cash. The balance of $14,227 must be secured by collections on the pres ent subscriptions and new sub scriptions. The campaign com mittee has reviewed the subscrip tions already in hand, which we understand to be payable on de mand, and the incompleted pros pects, and has every reason to be lieve that the above amount can be collected inside of the next few - days.” The question as to when the first dirt would he broken for the new wing was discussed but the exact date has not been set. Tae nurses’ home which was formerly on the lot of the building site has been moved to the lot adjoining Taylor street. Doctor Whiteside pointed out that while the capacity of the present tya^ding v provides for only 109 patients, that ^Hoo timo dur ing March was there rate, tkfch 104 patients and that the averageTor" the month wa? 115. He said that already it has become necessary to turn away patients when the hospital is crowded and should the demand for rooms at the hospital increase at the present rate, it will become necessary to turn away an even greater number. The building committee is com posed of the executive committee of the board of trustees of the hos pital, of which J. M. Walker is chairman. Other members of the building committee are Mrs. C, A. Jones, chairman of the commit tee on training schools; W. P., Hamrick, chairman of the commit tee on buildings and prop?rtv; K C. Davis, chairman of the com mittee on departments, anJ !< . L. Riley, chairman of the committee on free work. The Duke endowment fund of ficials have agreed to provide any sum of money for buildmg pur poses up to $75,000 that can be natched by a like sum by the hes- oital. Someone has predicted the time is not far off when gasoline or .a substitute will sell for two ccnte a gallon. ^However, you can’t Tim 7 our automobile on predictions. i + something you can do ana can af ford to do. Of course you do not have to do it, but if you don’t or won’t do what you can, don’t kick if things are not the way you would hke. to have’ them; and don’t complain that you don’t make mere money than you’re making now. You don’t have to write a fancy article when answering the*e ques tions. Just use your pwn words, write in pencil if you like, and you do not have to sign your name if you do not care to. If you don’t sign your name, state whether the questions are answered by a man or woman, and give your occupa- tion. Don’t put this offr-you are liable to forget about it if you do, and it is too important to take the chance of doing that. Just address your letter to the Town Doctor, 332 So.
