TWELVE 3utstanding News Continued from page one STRANGE RESCUE The superhuman efforts of a woman who had never before been able to swim a stroke were responsible for the safety of her husband and two children last week. The woman, Mrs. Flossie Upton, does not remember how she managed to effect their rescue. The family, Mr. and Mrs. Upton and their three children, Marshall, Glenn and Shirley, were at Dravo Dam, near Gaffney, South Carolina. When the two boys got into deep water, the father went to their aid, only to find himself dragged under by the fear-mad children. The mother, watching from a boat, left Shirley there, pulled the three struggling Upton males from the! water, and resuscitated her husband by artificial respiration. ALL EIGHT MONTHS Although their action may re- j suit in a dipping into the state j contingency fund, the State Board 1 of Education Wednesday adopted I a resolution to guarantee teachers in North Carolina a 20 per | cent raise in salary for the eight1 months of the coming school year. It has been rumored that1 legislative appropriations are a! bit short of the amount required | to pay increased salaries for the; full term. In such case, the contingency fund must be restored ( to. CONDEMN CHRISTIANS The Northern Presbytery of the Free Presbyterian Church of j Scotland apparently heirs its views and prejudices straight from John Knox, bitter and Puritanical foe of Catholicism during the reign of Mary, Queen ofj Scots. For the Presbytery Thursday issued the statement that its officials consider the observance ( of Christmas a "Romanist practice," and apt to lead good Scotch Presbyterians into ways of sin. | Especially did the statement con- i demn the practice of dancing on | Christmas Eve, believing that dancing "fosters the lust of the j eyes.' ' TROOPS QUELL RIOT Mass demonstration against the economy decrees of Premier Pierre Laval Friday necessitated the rushing of troops to Toulon, French seaport, and to various other sections nearby. A number of strikers are in the arbitration stage as a result of the martial restraint of the bloody clashes between groups of workers. Civic and military buildings were guarded by Senegalese troops, although the wary government refused to use the blank soldiers against the rioters. TYPHOON TAKES LIVES Formosa, island of the Japanest Archipelago, was Friday ravaged by a typhoon, which is reported to have taken some 200 lives. Most of the casualties resulted from the inability of fishing vessels to gain harbor before the storm struck. In a number of cases rescue ships were sent to aid the smaller vessels to gain port, but found it unable to reach them on account of the phenomenonally heavy seas. / CARDENAS SAFE An attempt to kill President Lazaro Cardenas of Mexico was Saturday frustrated when five men were arrested and held incommunicado by special police. One of the men, Gomez Prado, is reported as having admitted "I was sent to kill Cardenas." A revolver and 11 cartridges were found on his Derson. A number of conflicting beliefs are current in regard to the would-be assassin. Some would have him an old enemy of the President, others believe him the half-witted tool of organized anti-Cardenas forces. TON SILECTOM Y Little Miss Mary Ann Reece, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carey Reece, underwent an operation for the removal of her tonsils Monday at the Brunswick county hospital. ON BUSINESS TRIP George Whatley left Saturday for New York City on business. He returned to Southport Tuesday. ACCEPTS POSITION Miss Eleanor Howey has accepted work in the office of County Agent J.
