As they got there so early they managed to keep it to six or seven acres, though it was “hotter than the first fire,” said Warden Davis. The men were back at the fire tower only 10 minutes or so when a new alarm took them to the wooded land of Miss Lizzie Holt, on Cameron, Rt. 2. Despite hard work by crew and tractor the blaze tore its destructive way over some 60 acres before it was van quished. ■While Whrden Davis and part of his force were busy above Cameron, the rest of the crew left behind at the tower sighted the day’s fourth fire, the third one to take place at West End. They raced off to the scene with the power •wagon. The rest of-^the crew anJ the tractor joined them later in the course of what turned out to be a three-and-a-half hour fight on acreage along NC 211 just north of the village. T. C. Auman and his crew helped and other volunteers turned out.

TOWN IS FULL (Continued rrom Page 1) of the unexpected guest. Though the springtime visita tion of tourists is normally a short one, the season is expected to be prolonged this year by the incom ing of two baseball clubs of the Detroit Tigers April 7 and April 13, and by a series of conventions starting the last weekend in April. Slate Meetings The state AA convention April 28, 29 and 30, and the N. C. Mer chants association. Credit Women’s Breakfast Clubs and As sociated Credit Bureaus May 8 and 9 are expected to take up all available space on those week ends. Oasis Temple of Shriners, \yhich had a successful conven tion here last summer, will return May 11, 12 and 13. On June 4 and 5, the N. C. Elks association will meet here. Among smaller meetings will be the Homer Cummings Semi-An nual Golf tournament of some’40 or 50 persons, at the Mid Pines the weekend of April 28; the Liquefied Petroleumi Gas associa tion of more than 150 from North the United States with the object if inducing more Americans to oatronize our hotels in Canada.” On November 29 and December 18, 1946, Cardy said, he wrote the Foreign Exchange Control board advising them of his inten- ion of sending and entering the Cardy farm horses in various lorse shows in the U. S. and ask ing for permission to obtain $50,- 300 in U. S. currency to do this. The application, was granted \nd the program was proceeded ydth. In 1947, the same applica tion was made and was granted in a letter dated October 28. The board, he stated, reversed its de cision early in December and de cided not to allow the funds. After negotiations the require ments for 1947 were met, in part. Funds Withheld Mr. Cardy said he applied for ?35,000 in U. S. currency in Sep tember, 1948, for the 1949 season. The request was not granted and '‘we found ourselves in the posi ion of having made'commitments vhich could not be met unless we obtained U. S. funds. “When we decided on this form of publicity in 1946 and were granted United States exchange to carry it out we felt justified in stablishing this business on permanent basis,” he said. ‘A property was acquired at South ern Pines to serve as office for ':he bookings for the hotel and Or stables, long term' arrange ments \yere made, and these were renewed and increased in the fol- ■ owing years and commitments were made in advance. It was not possible to cancel these suddenly in the fall of 1948.” For Publicity Uses Mr. Cardy said he pleaded guil ty to the charge of obtaining the funds illegally to carry on the campaign and added: “But I wish to say that the American hange so obtained by me was used exclusively for the purpose pf showing the horses and obtain ing the publicity for the hotels.” He said that the infractions he ommitted were not malum per se (bad in themselves) but viola tions of regulations passed for ex pediency only. “These regulations, which are 'aw today, may be abolished to- •norrow and the acts now prohib ited will thus become lawful,” said Mr. Cardy. “I therefore ask /our Lordship to consider what 1 have said in my own behalf, and I ask you. My Lord, to show me leniency.” Results Recalled Reading a letter he sent to the Foreign Exchange Control board m December, 1946, which out- 'ined the merits of such publicity, "Mr. Cardy had recalled how be tween $35,000 and $40,000 had been spent in sponsoring a. golf tournament at Niagara Falls. As a result of the publicity he 'aid, the revenue of that hotel in creased from $137,000 per year to more than $1,000,000 in 1946. Mr. Cardy also read a letter he received from D. Leo Dolan, direc- or of the Canadian Travel Bu reau, in September, 1947. Mr. Dolan said in part: “I have been watching with interest the mrious newspaper and magazine articles together with photographs iepicting the success of your horses in the United States dur ing recent months. Many Clippings ' “A great many clippings have come to me from publications of one kind or another. . . Naturally the success of your efforts has brought about no end of fine pub licity for Canada and more par ticularly those areas in which your hotels operate,” he stated. He also read a memorandum from J. A. Shink, vice-president of the Cardy Corporation, which noted that “during the past four years this corporation and prior to May 31, 1947, the five hotels acquired by the Cardy Corpora-' tion Limited, have deposited with' ‘he Royal Bank of Canada a sum in excess of $5,000,000 in United i states funds.” “This amount,” it was noted, I was “much in excess Sf the sum deposited in the four years pre vious to those mentioned above.” After Mr. Cardy had completed ’’is representations, Raymond Noel K. C. counsel for the accus ed, said when the case first start ed he had asked for a fine of ten per cent.
