FEAR BOLL WEEVIL
TO BE WIDESPREAD
College Station, Raleigh, May 20—A
warning that boll weevil infestations
in North Carolina may be heavy this
summer was issued today by C. H.
Brannon, extension entomologist at
State College.
The infestation during the latter
part of 1931 was heavy enough to sup
ply the cotton fields with a large num
ber of weevils this year, he said, and
the winter temperatures were not cold
enough to materially decrease the
number of weevils surviving till spring

FOUNDATIONS LAID
FOR STATE PARKS
Legislation Enacted Provides
for Set-Up in Portions
of State
1)1)10 Diapntch Bnreaa,
In tlie Sir Waller Hotel.
BY i. C. R4SKF.RVH.Ii.
Raleigh, May 20.—Foundations for
the acquisition and development of a
system of State parks and State for
ests were laid by the recent General
Assembly when it enacted a general
enabling act authorizing the Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment to “accept gifts, donations or
contributions of land suitable for for
estry or park purposes,'’ it was point
ed out here today by Director R.
Bruce Etheridge, of the Department
of Conservation and Development.
The new law also makes it possible
for the State to get the cooperation
cf the Federal government in the de.
velopment of these State parks and
forests which now may be acquired,
either by the establishment of Civ
ilian Conservation Corps camps on
these sites or by direct grants from
the new Federal work relief fund for
their development with local relief
laibdr. ' ' ■ I'j'.;.,
The new statute dealing with, State
parks and forests empowers the Con
servation Department to set up a sys
tem of parks and forests and to ac
cept for park purposes lands either
donated by private! individuals or
areas now being purchased by the
Federal government in its sub-mar
ginal land acquisition program. Dona
tions of land by committee, counties,
cities or towns may also be accepted
by the Conservation Department and
then developed by it and the Federal
Government, it was pointed out.
This law further provides that rev
enues derived from the parks and
forests set up under the act shall be
set aside fro the use of the depart
ment “in the acquisition, manage
ment, development and use of such
lands until all obligations incurred
have been paid in full. Thereafter, 50
per cent of all net profits accruing
from the administration of such lands
shall be applicable to such purposes
as the general assembly may prescribe
and 50 per cent shall be paid into the
school fund in the county or counties
ir) which the lands are As a.
’result of this provision it is expected
that the State parks and forests:
which will be created under this act
will eventually prove a great aid to
the schools in the counties in which
. they. 4re_ located.

HEAD THIS, F!RS"T:
Following a whirlwind romance in
Shanghai where he is attached to a
(J. S. gunboat, carefree Lieutenant
Valentine ' Preston is married to Lm
Garenne, at, American southerner,
whom he first observed while en
routs to sag goodby to Janice Ed
ding, his childhood sweetheart, as
she sailed for the Puget Sound Navy
Yard where her father. Captain En
ding has been assigned. Vdl let
Janice in a huff, ran into Lia again,
and learned she was alone in the
world except for an mint in Peiping
and a father she had not seen in
years u ho was exploring in the Gobi
desert. Their friendship blossomed
into love and within a week they
were married. When Val’s orders
arrive, transferring him to Puget
Sound Navy Yard, Lia is bitterly
disappointed at the thought of leav
ing China. Brad Norris, a class
mate of Val’s who has just resigned
from the navy to accept a lucrative
offer with the Cordray Aviation Co.,
meets the Prestons at Seattle. A I
Bremerton Ida joins Brad, ni.% wife,
and some friends of tKeire in
several drinks, but Val declines.
On the way to the commandant’s re
ception, Val finally takes a drink
and the party stops at Officers’ Row
to inspect the Prestons’ new home.
Finally they arrive at the reception
in gay spirits.
(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY J
CHAPTER 17
THE ADMIRAL was a kindly
looking gentleman with blue, sea
spent eyes and the deeply lined face
of a benign old setter. He had been
commandant of midshipmen during
Val’s academy days and when the
young officer vigorously pumped his
arm up and down and assured him
what a pleasure it was going to be
to serve under him here, the senior
atared with a quizzical quirk in one
bushy eyebrow.
Mrs. Pomfret —one of an old and
famous American family—was a
•lumpy lady with faded red hair and
small bright eyes. She looked. Val
thought, like a delightfully pugnaci
ous little old sailor disguised in a
velvet frock. When he was pre
sented to her he said, “Mrs. Pomfret,
the messenger boy has the honor to
report. if ever you need errands
run. send for assistant comnhunica
tions. Except,” he favored her with
his most ingratiating smile, “don’t
ask me to furnish my own bicycle.”
She held his hand for a moment
and studied him with keen, shoe
button eyes. “Young man,” . he final
ly said, “1 knew your father well.
And so I am not going to take you at
your own valuation just yet.”
Now what had she meant by that,
h« wondered. As he moved on into
til* drawing room he noted that Lia
bad fallen behind with Brad. Sue
his elbow hissed, “Did you see the
.admiral give Jack Field the fish-eye
pacause Jack is feeling his cocktails
* bit? Oh, this navy crowd makes
tna sick!,! Jack could buy and sell
every one in the place if he liked.”
“But what would he do w-ith an
admiral after he’d bought him, sweet
heart?” Val asked absently and
sazed about him at the pleasant
homeliness of book-filled shelves,
softly faded brocades, flowers from
the garden, and—souvenirs of the
Pomfret** tours.;, mi foreign duty—
eeri by the University Band; reunion
class suppers of classes of ’BS, ’lO, ’l3,
’l4, ’ls, ’l6, ’25, '32, ’33 and ’34; a bill
of plays by Carolina Playmakers in
their theatre, and a reception and
ball for the alumni in the Tin Can.
On Tuesday the day will get under
way with a program in Gerard Hall at
10:30 o’clock with Prof. H. H. Wil
liams as the principal speaker. From
11 to 12 o’clock the president and
deans will give a reception for- the
seniors, their parents and guests un
der the Davie Peplar. At 6:30 p. m.
the University Band will give a con
cert in Kenan Stadium, followed by
the academic procession. At 7 o’clock
Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus will
present the seniors with their diplo
mas in Kenan Stadium.

tical currents. Those receiving the
annual questionnaire are in position
to supply a complete cross-section of
the national opinion. They include
newspaper editors, bankers, labor
leaders, lawyers, manufacturers, gov
ernors, mayors, physicians, chamber
of commerce secretaries, and others in
touch with public sentiment. Every
body surveyed is asked to avoid giving
his own personal opinion, but to pre
sent Hie views of the community as
seen from daily contacts.
The survey of a year ago indicated
that the President’s popularity was
just as strong as the day he took of
fice, but that the New Deal had be
gun to weaken. This year’s question
t iiukiiV signed paotograpns or ladies
with court trains and gentlemen in
i brilliant uniforms with numberless
decorations.
All about him lie heard the rnodu
, lated voices of nice looking people
who. Sue informed him, were the
yard officers and their families, offi
: cers from the various ships here
■ under repair, and a few civilians
from Bremerton and Seattle. Two
men he had previously known
stopped to greet him: Cromwell, now
a junior captain, and Lieutenant
Commander Linhury, th e district
communication officer and Val’s new
boss. After a moment’s conversa
tion with each cf these officers, the
younger man was conscious of a
knowing expression that dawned in
their eyes. Lin bar y even said, “The
last time we met you were cele
brating In the American club bar in
Shanghai, Preston. Still in training,
I see."
His senior moved away and Vai
grinned wryly to reflect that his new
boss thought him tight. For that
matter, so had the admiral. Well,
despite the odorous bourbon, it took
more than two drinks to turn that
trick. But wasn’t it just his luck to
make his first appearance at a cold
sober party with a gang who couldn’t
hold its liquor and was obvious about
it? He turned to regard Field who
stood beside him trying to focus his
eyes on a critical lady to whom he
had just been presented and across
whose frock he had already spilled
half his cup of tea. From close at
hand came Mona Browne's shrill 1
giggle and her sister’s high-pitched
voice saying, “I feel as if I sort of
belong with the navy. I have an
uncle who was a major in some war
or other.”
As he turned a bored shoulder to
ward this group he caught sight of
Lia who was poised on the first stair
landing in the entrance hall. A hand
on one slim hip pushed back her
coat to reveal a trim frock of lip
stick red. Her little face was tipped
up like a creamy poppy to the sun.
and she was in animated conversa
tion with a tall stranger whose hack
was toward Val.
When the man shifted his position
Val was curious enough to ask Sue
his name. Brad’s wife stared over
her shoulder in the direction he In
dicated. After a moment she uttered
a strange, mirthless laugh. "Trust
Lia to manage that as quickly as
possible,” she murmured. “That,
Val dear, is Maurice Cordray.”
So this was Brad’s boss. Cordray!
A rather magnificent person with
coin yellow hair and—goodLLora
curly golden beard! The man was
faultlessly tailored and groomed but
the whiskers shouted for coat-of-mail
and a tin helmet with dinky wings
on either side. “Don’t kid me, beau
tiful,” Val said to Sue. “That’s a
German boy named Siegfried.
What’ll you bet he doesn’t burst into
a horn call before the party is over.”
“Don’t be fantastic.” Sue frowned.
“His father was a Belgian, his moth
er a Swede, but he was born here in
Bremerton. Re lived abroad a lot
until his father’s death l two- years
ago. He is very rich, Vpl, with Im
portant holdings in this northwest
country. But he likes best to work
in his studio where he fashions all
manner of lovely hand-wrought stuff
—jew-elry, puppet*, mnsk*— things
itk* that.” ' \
naire indicates that political thought
is running in the same channels. Pres
ident Roosevelt is still very strong
with the people in nearly every sec
tion. According to our inquiry, he
stands to be re-elected in 1936 by a
vote of at least 363 out of a total of
531 in the electoral college.
Roosevelt Weaker in New England
and the Middlewcsl
On the basis of this questionnaire,
lie should carry thirty-four out of the
forty-eight states, and of the remain
ing fourteen states only seven are de
finitely listed as Republican. The
questionnaire shows he may lose New
Hampshire, Connecticut, Maine, Mich
igan, Pennsylvania, and Vermont —a
total of seventy-eight slectoral votes.
The doubtful states are largely mid
dlewestern. They include lowa, In
diana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Min
nesota, New Jersey and Wisconsin —
a total of ninety electoral votes.
One of the specific questions in the
questionnaire was: “Have you lost con'
fidence in the New Deal?” 50.4 per
cent answered “No" and 49.6 per cent
answered “Yes”—an almost even split.
The investigation indicated that the
majority of the people are not yet wor
ried about inflation. In regard to
business —63.7 per cent felt that the
business recovery was proceeding in
a reassuring manner, that the busi
ness recovery was proceeding in a re
assuring manner, while 46.3 per cent
either did not see an improvement or
felt that recovery was artificial. “Has
the business recovery been because of
or in spite of the President’s pro
gram?” was another question. 52.2 per
cent said “because of” and 47.8 per
cent said "in spite of”- again almost
an even split.
Balrson Again States His
Neutral Position
<ln commenting on this survey. I
want to emphasize that I have avoid
ed expressing my own opinion. I re
iterate my recent statement that I am
not a partisan. I believe in many
of the goals of the New Deal, even
though I have at times severely crit
icized, and probably will continue to
question, some of its methods.

submarines. Since November there
have been added one battle ship, two
new destroyers and four torpedo boats.
In addition, 25 submarines have
been returned to the fleet, including
one which is the largest in the world.
“Don't tell me he plays a flute
when 1 expected a trumpet.” Hia
eyes danced with laughter.
“Don’t ever donbi that Maurice
Cordray is a trumpet man.” Sue’s
languorous voice warmed. “He is an
expert boxer, a business man and an
artist. His passion is to create beau
tiful. unusual things. But he make*
his hobbies pay just as he makes
his Investments yield. Brad says his
special talent in business affairs lies
in iris ability to select his executives,
then let them do the work. And the
proof of his success is that he has
greatly increased the fortune hie
father passed on to him.”
“I suppose he plays about with the
yard crowd.”
Sue looked away. “Y-e-s, he is be
ginning to come to the yard again—"
she broke off abruptly.
Her manner aroused his curiosity.
“What stopped him?”
“Oh, there was a silly misundcr*
standing. That Idiot Tony Eastman
made a spectacle of himself because
Cordray was merely pleasant to his
wife. Truly. Vai, it was the great*
est injustice because Cordray t*

whole navy set was disgusted with
Tony for driving this man away, sot
without him this is the dullest p|»c«
imaginable. How they must thank
their lucky stars that little imbecile
Eastman has gone to sea duty and
Cordray is giving his lovely parties
and coming to the yard again.”
Sue turned away to speak
• Mrs. Field, and Val stood idly watch
ing Lia and her new acquaintance.
Tor some time he had been half-con
scious of music coming from tha
hidden angle of the adjoining room
and now a girl’s soft contralto began
to sing a well remembered air. Sud
denly he stiffened. That song—an
old poem of Stevenson’s—was as
well known to him as his own name.
Listening intently, only his eyes
moved. There was an odd shiver
aiong his spine, his arms tingled, but
be seemed powerless to stir.
