Memorial Services
Held at Antioch
Memorial services were held at
Antioch Christian church Sunday,
May the Bth. The day was an
ideal one. In the morning the pas
tor, Rev. J. S. Cardon, preached a
very able sermon, after which the
children were marched to the ceme
tery and distributed the flowers
among the graves. After that an
intermission of more than an hour
was had and the good women
spread dinner in the grove at the
church and a feast was enjoyed.
There was every variety of good
things to eat that can be imagined.
During the afternoon a program
was rendered and as Rev. J. S.
Cardon had to leave for High
Point where he was to start a re
vival, the program was left in
charge of the former Superinten
dent W. R. Oldham. The audience
was treated to talks of an elevating
and entertaining nature; all short
but full of meaning and worthy of
the careful attention given them.
Those speaking were Messrs. W. H.
Tyler of Golston, T. B. Beal of
Bear creek, W. P. Horton, James L.
Griffin of Pittsboro.
Mr. W. P. Horton was a new
speaker at this place but he ac
quitted himself in a splendid man
ner and the folk were pleased with
what he had to say.
It is useless to say that the oth
ers made good talks for those that
have heard them before know that
they can always entertain an au
dience.
We enjoyed and appreciated the
splendid music rendered by Hanks
chapel choir. We want to say
right here that the singing by this
splendid choir was an especially in
teresting feature, and we hope to
have them with us again soon.
Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Oldham and
children of High Point spent
awhile Sunday in the home of
Mr. Oldham’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. A. H. Oldham.
Misses Violet and Bettie John
son spent the week-end with home
folks.
Several from this section attend

Bridges Not to Hear '
Appeals For Cooper
Discourages Efforts In Former
Banker s Behalf Until Six Months
Have Elapsed
Raleigh, May 14 —Renewed ef
forts to get the case of Thomas E.
Cooper before the pardon commis
sioner, Edwin B. Bridges, have been
discouraged by announcement of
Mr. Bridges that he will not hear
any cases on which action has been
taken, within six months of the
prior presentation, unless there
should be discovery of new evi
dence.
The Cooper case was before Gov
ernor McLean several weeks ago.
He felt at the time that the public
interest wouldn’t justify favorable
action and the Wilmington banker
was denied his application. Within
the past week renewal of the appli
cation for parole has been announc
ed, but Commissioner Bridges de
clares it his policy not to reopen
these petitions for executive clem
ency unless new facts have been
found which would justify another
presentation.
There is very little opposition to
the Cooper parole. He served a
ong sentence in federal prison be
x’3 beginning his eight years im-*
posed by Judge Henry A. Grady,
who tried him in the New Hanovc.
courts. Before he left the federal
prison in Atlanta, Judge Grady had
interceded for him and the way
seemed clear for a parole shortly
after Cooper entered upon his state
court sentence.
It is believed that the next move
will be more successful. The for
mer banker and political leader has
taken his punishment without
whining and isn’t back of the effort
to get off the chaingang. He is
working on the force and asking
no special treatment.
Should there be any new facts
found Mr. Bridges will reopen the
case before the six months expires.

School [Busses ,Are
Protected By Law
Attorney General BrUmmitt Cites
Statute Requiring Motorists To
Come to Stop
Raleigh, May 14.—North Caro
lina has plenty of law covering the
requirements that automobiles stop
when they drive up to busses load
ed with school children, Attorney
General Brummitt said today, in
making a statement relative to the
appeal of some unknown mother a
ow days ago.
The letter from the woman, who
was upset about the school passen
gers, said that she is the mother of
nine and the stepmother of ten chil
dren. The carlessness of automo
bile drivers* in approaching the bus
arrying school children appalled
her. She asked Governor McLean
to do something about it, but of
ourse the governor has no power
of legislation. Attorney General
Brummitt finds the law and he
says:
“Consequent upon a letter from
some lady to Governor McLean,
some discusion has arisen with re
spect to the need of a law regulat
ing the approach of automobiles to
ousses discharging school children.
There is already an act on the sub
ject. It is chapter 265, public laws
of 1925. It is as follows:
“ ‘That no person operating any
motor vehicle on the public roads
shall pass, or attempt to pass, any
public school bus, while the same
is standing on the said public road
taking on or putting off school
without first bringing
said motor vehicle to a full stop at
a distance of not less than 50 feet
from said school bus/
“Violation of the act is made a
misdemeanor punishable by fine not
to exceed SSO or imprisonment not
to exceed 30 days.”
Hope For Lost Fliers
Is That They Landed
Should They Have Landed In Lab
rador It May Be Weeks Or Months
Before Word is Received.
Washington, May 12.—Naval
hydrographers concluded today that
if the missing PTench aviators,
Nungesser and Coli, are still alive,
they probably are somewhere in La
brador, lonely refugees in the
densely wooded and mountainous
wilderness.
Their conclusion was based on the
assumption that there was no mo
tor failure on the part of the air
plane White Bird, that the wind
velocity during the flight took the
aviators to the north of Newfound
land and that the machine’s alti
meter, because of changed condi
tions, did not cause them to crash
against icebergs or strike land ob
structions.
A report given Secretary Wilbur
late today emphasized that the
winds which prevailed in the North
Atlantic at the time N os the flight
on the whole were the most favor
able of any recorded in recent
years.

THE ISLE OF PINES
vt ' ■: " '■ S'
Transforming a windswept
barren island —a stretch of
waste land which for centu
ries had been used as a cattle
range where cliffs made by the
fire-gods of ages ago towered
over the waste —into a veritable
garden spot with a model city, sur
rounded by acres and acres of fer
tile pineapple fields—this is the
story of Lanai, one of the fairy
like islands of the Hawaiian group.
As you drive along over miles of
macadamized roads, from the con
crete wharf at Kaumalapau harbor
through 1200 acres of pineapple
plantation, you get your first im
pression of the Island of Lanai, an
impression of orderliness and pre
cision. Not a single plant of the
mathematically laid out plots
strays an inch from the soldierly
ranks. Even the mules that plow
the soil seem to hold their ears at
a mathematical angle.
Suddenly you round a curve and
see in the distance the purple of
the Oahu hills.
A few more miles of white road
and you are in Lanai City. You are
not surprised, after the prelude of
perfect order found in the pineap
ple fields to find the city itself a
veritable “spotless town.”
Citizens of Lanai who are proud
of the civic cleanliness of their
town, are just as proud of the or
derliness of their pineapple planta
tions.
You notice the workers look very
different from the average farmer
who works in the fields. You will
be told that this is because the
same companies which control the
growing of pineapple control the
cannery. For this reason there are
strict rules about the cleanliness
of workers in the fields, just as
there are rules for white aprons

After visiting this “Isle rs
Pines” where some of the be?
pineapples in the world are grown
one is anxious to see the inside j
the big cannery where these p er !
feet pineapples are canned so sue
cessfully. There, too, is the same
atmosphere of cleanliness which
characterizes the town and pl an .
tations. But instead of the quid
of the fields, there is the hum oj
busy activity. Well-ordered shiny
machines are moving with clock
like accuracy, peeling, slicing and
syruping the fruit. One is ®.
pressed on watching the women
workers who pack the slices into
cans, endless rows of rubber glove;
moving at lightning speed, h
sides wearing spotless caps d
aprons, rubber gloves are a strict
rule of pineapple canneries, for
sanitary reasons since no pineapple
is ever touched by ungloved hands
The rows of shiny cans whTdJ
are packed outside in truck loads j
ready to take the steamer to other
lands, seem to be a symbol of the
snotless life of the pineapple from
“birth” to its world career in cans,
And when these cans come to you
from Hawaii you will find in the
rich golden goodness of the fruit,
and the clear amber juices, perhaps
a reflection of the atmosphere of
that “spotless town” in that beauti
ful Isle of Pines, where the pine
apple grew to golden maturity.
