During re cent years we have made substan tial progress in broadening our view and enlarging our horizon above and beyond merely our personal interests or mental needs," said Governor Hoey "and we are constantly thinking in terms of our community, our county, state and nation. ?^ ~ /vu "We realize tee unpoxr^vc ^ operative efforts in education, agri culture, business and industry and the more we work together and under stand the problems to be dealt with and solved in each line of activity, the better conditions will become and the greater success can be obtained," Governor Hoey added. Continuing his talk, he declared that there is no reason for hostility between labor and employees, farmers and manu facturers, business men and mechan ics, or any other profession or call ing. He pointed out that we are all comprised in the term "community life" and the more contributions we make in thought and effort into solv ing community problems, the more unit and harmony will exist among all elements of the community. Peace and Harmony "North Carolina has no large cit ies but a great many prosperous and growing cities, towns and vil lages, and in addition to these many rural communities where the real . . life of a great people find expres sion in community activities in pro motion of the common good," he said. -- "The peace and harmony prevail ing throughout the states in towns and country, is more gratifying and is largely the result of united com munity spirit and enterprise," Gov ernor Hoey added. It was pointed out by the Governor that democracy protects the rights of the strong, the weak and the. hum Able, and that our nation has thrived through these 150 years since its birtn, irrespective of the gloomy out look by some of our predecessors and that there should be no trouble about the extent of the patroitism of its people. Governor Hoey concluded his ad dress by saying: "North Carolina is a great commonwealth and looks for ward to greater strides in the future than ever before. The spirit which existed among our fathers still exist, and is my hope that the people of the State will continue their pro gress. U UMn) George W. Coan, State Adminis trator of the Works Progress Admin istration, who turned the keys of the armory over to Mayor M. K.

He added that the federal government has em ployed an average of 80,000 people in the commonwealth. The local armory is one of the 21 erected in this State. The WPA has also erected 40 art and agricultural buildings in the State, as well as more than 200 school buildings or additions. Mayor Blount said that "the arm ory is a monument of peace and, we as a peace loving people hope that It Will serve that purpose."

Some people dont care how much money, you spend if they can save a few nickels. Roosevelt Gets Bailey Approval ? _\ | Senator Likes Idea of Halving Federal Ap propriations For Roads Built Washington, Nov. 30-?President Roosevelt's message to Congress re ,commending the virtual halving of Federal appropriations for roads of all kinds, which now total $238,000, 000 a year, was recghred rather cold ly by the North Carolina delegation in the House, but was warmly receiv ed by Senator Josiah W. Bailey, wh$ has opposed much New Deal legis lation. North Carolina now receives annu ally $4,842,707 of the $200,000,000 apportioned directly to the states, and in addition, receives its share of the $38,000,000 spent for roads on Fed eral lands. The $4,500,000 approp riated this year after a heard fight for the Great Smoky Mountains Na tional Park, comes from this latter fund, as does funds for roads within the park itself and roads in the num erous nitional forests. The mechanics of the Federal legis lation are so complicated as almost to defy a layman. In 1935 Congress authorized the expenditure of each of the fiscal years 1937-38.and 1938-39 of $125,000,000 in regular Federal aid to primaary roads in the states; $25,000,000 for secondary roads, and $50,000,000 for highway crossing* eli minations. In addition to this $200, 000,000 administered by the Depart ment of Agriculture and apportioned directly to the states, there is Vlso apportioned annually to the Depart ment of Agriculture $16,500,000" for forest highways and roads across public lands and $21,000,000 for koada in parks and parkways connecting parks. Uirk in Law The law is pecular in that, ihs' Secretary of Agriculture hi directed to make allocations to the states six months before the beginning of each year, but the actual appropriation- is not made untS the money is afafl aMe from-the bodge. .. ? a ? ,-v i ;v IA It ?w Willi lew Dili .. f,. Utility Executive thinks Satisfactory Relation ship' Can Be Arranged! To Meet Need Of Pri-1 vate Investment Washington, Nov. 80.?Major con cessions to the New Deal power pol icy and a series of compromise pro- i posals, were advanced as the basis for an administration-utilities "peace pact" by Wendell L. Wilkie, presi dent of Commonwealth and Southern Corporation in his recent conference with President Roosevelt, it was re cently learned authoratively. In a memorandum, Wilkie's inform ed the president he believed a "satis factory relationship" couly be work ed out "without injury to legisimate investment and well within the broad framework of your social objectives." The memorandum was submitted by Wilkie at a White House conference November 23, and President Roose velt has it under advisement. He j made no reference to the specific pro posals in the memorandum itself al though at a subsecuent press confer- ( ence he discussed his conversation 1 with the utility executive. On the question of property valua- 1 tion?a point long at controversy be- 1 tween utility interests and the admin- * istration, and which is the basic fac- ' tor in making rates for electric power ?the utility executive suggested a two-point formula, containing conces- ( sions of far-reaching significance: < Omital I C If VIUU VWfc 1. He proposed that utilities should eliminate immediately from their capital structures all of the "write ups" in property value which have heretofore been claimed by the Fed eral Trade Commission; 2. He recommended acceptance of the "prudent investment" theory of valuation, as desired by the adminis tration?which contemplates, as the Federal Power Commission views it, what was prudently and honestly in vested in physical property?instead of the present method, which takes into account the reproduction cost new. If Wilkie's suggestion on "Write- j ups" were accepted by other utilit- j ies, it would mean the scaling down < of the utility industry's present capi- > tal structure of around $12,000,000,- { 000 by almost 15 per cent. ? j In its final report of 1935, the * Trade Commission estimated that in j about 85 per cent of the industry? . or 18 top holding companies 42 sub holding companies and 91 operating ? companies?there was around $1,491- . 000,000 in "write-ups, improperly capitalized intangibles and inflation included in the capital assets." Other "clarifications," Wilkie said are necessary "in order to establish a relationship between the govern ment and utilities which will restore investment confidence in the indus try." > J 4 Injuries Prove Fatal \ To Pitt County Man < t Greenville, Nov. 30.?Injuries re- * ceived by William Lafayette Boss * some time ago when the cart on which z he was riding was involved in a col- 1 lision with an automobile driven by 1 Ralph C.

THE TWO AMERICAS DEMOCRACY LEADING 13 DICTATOR NATIONS IN CENTRAL AMERICA ISLAND REPUBLICS COLOMBIA DEMOCRATIC SOUTH AMERICA LAND-OWNERS CONTROL FUTURE COMPLICATIONS , " - ? ? ?1 ?r-.1 ; (Hugo S. Sims, Washington Cor respondent.) W Ull6 waiting I or ouiigimuuiwi iction on the major measures now pending before the special session and for business and the Administration . ,:<T m conclude their process of adjusting iifferences, we are going to make a rough suryey of the situation in the Western Hemisphere, where more han a score of nations are grappling pith serious demestic problems while heir foreign problems relationships )ecome increasingly important. At the start we are going to write >ff, so far as this discussion is con :erned, all the territory to the north >f the United States, including Can ida and other British areas. There s, we think; no cause for alarm over ;he lands that separate the United States and Alaska. Relations have ?arely been better and the future rntlook is bright for sensible cooper ition in the improvement of trade tnd cultural intercourse. To the touth, however, when we ctobs the Rio Grande, we face a different situ ition, and it does not change much is we pass through Central America ind go into the nations of South America. Altogether, including the island re publics to which we refer later, there ire twenty republics in Central and South America. In a vague way the jeople of the United States think >f them as "American" in the sense hat they think of the institutions of he United States. There is a general dea that they are developing along he same general lines, that they sym >athize with our ideals and that they ncline to follow in the fottsteps of his country. The other republics ad nire democracy like the United Stat es as a protector, and are doing what hey can to make the two Americans thine as an example to a troubled vorld. . ~ Well, let's see about it To begin vith, out of the twenty republics, >nly four can be classed democratic, ihree would be classed as radical or >f the left, and the other thirteen are lefinitely of the riyhtist or dictator ype, with tendencies tword the dicta or fascist forms. These classifica ions are somewhat general but they -epresent reasonable approimations. [n the thirteen republics now ruled >y strong-arm dictators there is prac ically nothing left of representative government, the opposition is almost iniversally outlawed and the admin litration in power is supported by he military. Significantly, the land )wning Classes in almost all of these republics are the chief beneficiaries >f the conservative governments and he main prop to their support. Beginning at the Rio Grande and rontinuing to the Panama Canal there ire seven republics starting with leftist Mexico and its 17,000,000 peo ple. The next four nations, in order is they come, are Guatemala, El Sal vador, Honduras and Nicaragua ruled ry dictators who seized theirv power t>y arms, aligned behind an anti-com munist pact of their own and work ing together to suppress their poli tical enemies as "communists.'' The; most popularous, Guatemala, (2,260, 100) and El Salvador (1,500,000), under German and Italian influence, respectively, quit the league of na tions and the former was the first nation in the world to recognize Man chukuo. The other pair, Honduras (900,000 and Nicaragua (800,000) are just as firmly fascist, and now in dis pute over a boundary line. If we look-eastward we see the is land of Cuba (4,000,000) under a military dictator and the Dominican Republic (1,500,000) were ruled by force has been carried to its greatest extent Between these two, on the stme island with the Dominican Re public, lies Haiti f2,500,000), now un der a democratic president after long fears of dictatorships. The recent kill ing of a number of Haitian laborers (GotftfaMed on Page 4) | / , "<r Missionaries Say 50,090 Hea In Sonth China; Fear Drive Against Canton. K Shanghai, Thursday.Dee. 2.?Japan today was reported to have landed 60,000 soldiers In Sonth China in an apparent drive on the great met ropolis of Canton, a principal source of Chinese Military Supplies. Foreign military attaches said that if Canton is taken, a vital' blow will be struck at the huge trade of the British Crown colony of Hongkong; and that already tense relations be tween London and Tokyo would be strained further. Hongkong exists almost exclusive ly on commerce with Canton, the financial and commercial center of South China. Dispatches from Hongkong said that Dr. Henry Blader of New York, a widely-known worker for the relief of Chinese lepers, reached the British colony after an automobile trip thru Toishan and reported that approxi mately 60,000 Japanese soldiers had been landed on Chekkai Island, 70 miles southwest of the British city. The island is in the southern delta of the Pearl River system and would be an ideal base for a drive inland on Canton, Wuchow and other South China cities. The Japanese army landed near Hongkong was reported supported by a crusier and four destroyers lying off Chekkai Island as well as the air force from Japanese aircraft car riers in the vicinity. A group of Catholic priests from the interior confirmed the landing. Developments. Other developments during the past 24 hours included: 1. In Shanghai, Japanese naval authorities returned the American owned tug Feiting and apologized for its seizure Monday. Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa was understood formally to have apologized for the seizure, which he said, was based on reports that the tug was really Chinese owned and had been transferred to American registry illegally. An Ital ian tug also was freed by the Ja panese. Return of the seized American and Italian tugs followed vigorous pro tests by both powers. Admiral Harry E- Yarnell was particularly indignant at the Japanese action in lowering the American flag and informed them this must not be done again under any circumstances without first informing the United States consulate general. The Japanese re stored United States and Italian flags to the ships before towing back to the wharf from which they had been seized. TT if.. XV - W imam nunc, representing cue United States shipping concern from which the Feiting was taken, an nounced that "our steam launch has been retruned by the Japanese navy and we are gratified and apprecia tive of the manner in which this mis take was corrected." 2. In Nanking, the United States embassy transmitted to American Consul General Clarence Gauss in Shanghai a proposal of the interna tional committee in the partly-ava' cuated Chinese national capital for establishment of a neutral refugee zone around the city of Wuhu, south* west of Nanking on the Yantese River. The zone would accomodate Chinese non-combatants certain to b^ caught in the Japanese military drive on Nanking. The consulate was to dek liver the proposal to the Japanese authorities in Shanghai, asking theii* consent to the plan, which already has been acepted in principle by thfe Chinese military authorities. TAR HEELS ARE SAFE IN CHINESE TERRITORY Shanghai, Dec. 2.?(Thursday)-* Alarra was felt here today for the safety of 13 Americans, mostly wo men and children, marooned in an isolated region in the center of Chi nese-Japanese lighting. .

The presentation here 01 Handel's immortal masterpiece, "The Messiah," on Sunday afternoon, December 12, at three o'clock by the Eastern Caro lina Symphonic Chorus, which is the announced contribution of the Chorus to the Christmas spirit in this sec tion of the State, will doubtless be greeted by a capacity audience in the Methodist Church. Voan interest. nriH enthusiasm is already being manifested in the pros pective presentation of this mighty work, which the great Handel has woven into a perfect word and tone tapestry revealing the prophecies; "The Lord, whom ye seek, shall sud denly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in; Behold, He shall come, saith the Lord of Hosts,"; the Nati vity, "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given," the life of the Messiah, His Crucifixion and Resur rection, all of the important events of His earthly existence included in this greatest of all oratorios. Sidney A. Bullock, the director of the hundred voices in the Chorus, has been striving for the past three months to perfect its rendition and it is his sincere intention to make it fulfil its purpose by the inspiration caught from the dramatic beauty of the words and the rich and colorful harmony of the voices, which grips and uplifts the hearers and the sing ers and the director as well. Mrs. Haywood Smith, as accompanist, lends her exceptional talent and her knowledge of music in the instrumen tal support of the Chorus. This presentation will be the high est achievement of the Symphonic Chorus and is a musical event indeed for Eastern Carolina. The oratorio will be given again in Ayden that same evening, in Snow Hill on Sunday afternoon, December 19, and in Goldsboro that evening.

Invocation was offered by Rev. C. B. Mashburn, an adopted son, and the address of welcome by John B. Lewis, former president. The Rev. J. N. Bynum, of Roanoke Rapids, presided and spoke on the value of reunions; the hardships of the olden days; the heritage left by ancestors of the two families, and the obligations and privileges of their de cendants, appealing to them to regard aristocracy as "something not to be lived on but something to be lived up to." The President, a native son of this community, also recalled his childhood days and related several amusing incidents connected with his family. Miss Tabitha De Visconti presented the family- tree, introduced families present for the first time, and upon motion was given a rising vote of thanks and upon motion of Dr. J. Y. Joyner elected for life as geneal ogical chairman of the organization. Walter G. Sheppard, of Snow Hill, a former president, led the round ta ble discussion and made a timely ad dress on "Peace," as the theme of the day's program, picturing worid conditions and urging Americans to "think, practice and pray fjjr peace." Pointing with pride to tKie Tysons and May pioneers as peace loving men, he summoned several famous fighters of the Indians and heroes of other wars to testify to their courage and valour but protrayed them as men whose peaceful de meanor predominated, and who per ferred to beat their swords into ploughshares, giving an example of their traditional spirit of forebear ance a true incident relating to young turkeys, beheaded and sent home by an irate neighbor, who was to feel great chagrin next day when his family received a large tray of baked turkey with all the accessories from the adjoining plantation. Though a World War Veteran, Mr. Sheppard did not advocate "peace at any price," but deplored "the un speakable methods being used in modern warfare, which may force the world into strife in order that peace and security may prevail in the fu ture." Mrs. Mary Moye Patterson, Re union secretary related several true stories regarding temperance and prohibition in the old and present day families; Fred Sutton, of Kins ton, recounted some interesting ex periences of his travels through Eng land during the Coronation of King George, and paid a tribute to the family forefathers, pointing out the opportunities their descendants have "to preserve the peace for which they fought so valiantly," and calling at tention to the unique position in which the United States finds her self today?the hope of the world. Mrs. Annie Barrett, Wilson, speak ing, as she said, in behalf of the D. A. R.'s., the U. D. C.'s., and tVar Mothers expressed her desire for peace but at the same time stressed the need for adequate defense. Joe May, of Kinston, and Dr. Lee Carr, of I^aGrange, spoke brieftly on family ties and of peace from their viewpoints. Bringing the round table discussion to a close were the remarks of Dr. J. Y.
