Greensboro. — Senator Robert
■A. Taft, a Republican presiden
tial candidate, declared here Mon
day night that the United States
must decide whether it will re
main a republic of its historic
pattern or become a government
by a totalitarian executive.
Speaking at the Republican
Lincoln Day rally for North Car
olina, the Ohio senator predicted
that "if the new deal were licens
ed to proceed in the 1940 elec
tion, the result would be “a ■mod
ern, streamlined totalitarian dic
tatorship.”
"This country in I860,’’ Tafc
said in a prepared address, "facod
the greatest crisis in its history—
Whether it should remain a na
tion or be broken up into two or
more bitterly hostile states.
Through the calm determination
of Abraham Lincoln, we were
preserved a nation, but only after
the frightful trial of Civil War.
I Faces b'uiidaiiicntal Decision
I "Again in 1940 we face a fun
damental decision—whether thi-s
country snail remain the Kind of
country which our fatiiers made
and Lincoln preserved, a republic
protecting the inalienable "i-thts,
the freedom of liberty of its in
dividual citizens, or a totalil.ir-
ian executive with unlimited and
I undivided power over the live.'
and activities of indlvidiia!-; aiid
local govi'rnments alike.
“The new deal has slowfd up
today because the peor-Ie in IftlS
.elected a Con.gress wihcU, repre
senting its constituents, dirap-
proves of more government pow
er and spending. In effect, we
have a deadlock in Ooc.grcas i,)-
day. The new deal is anab'.s to
force its wishes on Coe.gres.a but
its strongest foes of the season
here on Tuesday ndght, February
20, when the Galax, Va,, high
team comes here for a game in
the high school gymnasium, be-
.ginning at 7:30. It wUl be a re
turn engagement of the game to
be played in Galax tomorrow
night.
As a special entertainment fea
ture in addition to the game, the
junior class will sponsor a cake
walk.
The North Wilkesboro Moun
tain Lions, who have enjoyed a
very successful season so far, will
play in the Elkin tournament be
ginning on February 21, school
officials said today.
HOLLER RESIGNS
TO ACCEPT WORK
AT STATE CAPITOL
(Continued from page one)
McCrary, district agent, and R.
F. Shaw, chairman of the state
Agricultural Conservation Com
mittee, were present and led in
Hie discussions. T. E. Story acted
as secretary to the meeting.
Answering the question which
had been raised as to whether or
i.ot the commissioners favored rc-
taiiiin-g the office of the. county
agent, T. E, Story read copies of
letters written by the commission
ers to Dean I. O. Schaub, of the
extension service, settin.g forth
their views as to retention and
support of the office and .selec
tion of an agent.
At that point in the discussions
it. was, tpade known, to .the com
mittee that Mr. Holler was leav
ing immediately to take up his
duties with the extension service
in a position at Raleigh.
The committee members freely
expressed their desire that both
the board of commissioners and
the Exten.'ion 9'ervice im'mediate-
ly reach a comprbfnise in the
rhatter of selecting ah agent.
In further discussions It was
recognized that much progress
had been made in the county un
der the leadership of the late A.
G. Hendren, former county a-
gent, and his successor, Mr. Hol
ler. High compliments were paid
both of them and the unanimous
expression of the committee was
than an agent be appointed Im
mediately to carry on the agricul
tural program. It was' also
brought out in the discussions
that the commissioners and the
Eixiension Service had in the past
encouraged most liberally in
money and in supervision the
growing farm program in the
county.
The committee expressed “our
earnest desire that the agricultur
al Extension Service and the
county commissioners both agree
to give and take and thereby
work out, as soon as ■possible, an
agreeable compromise so that
our program may continue.”
In order that the matter may
be properly brought to the atten
tion of the public. Chairman J.
iM. German appointed a Steering
committee composed ot Floyd
F’.
Fields, R. L. Profflt and F. G.
Holman. He also named a pub
licity committee composed of H.
C. Roberts, J. A. Poplin, T. M.
Carter. A. R. Miller and W. O.
Barnett.
The committeemen requested
a meeting of the county board of
commissioner to be held on
Monday, February 19, at 10:30
a. m. for consideration of the
county agent office situation.
