U. S.. CANADA TO FORM
JOINT DEFENSE BOARD j
Ogdensburg. N. Y., Aug. 19?
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister W. L. MacKenzie King of
Canada, after a momentous com'er-;
ence on a railway siding hero,
agreed yesterday to create a permanent
joint Canadian-United States
board to plan defense of the Western
Hemisphere.
Providing an historically portentious
implementation of the Monroe
Doctrine. Mr. Roosevelt and the
Canadian war leader agreed that
the board will be established immediately
and open joint studies
"relating to sea, land and air proh- j
lems. including personnel and material"
for defense of North America.
In effect, the agreement appeared
to link the interests of Canada and
the United States for the future,
and to present a warning to aggressor
nations abroad that this country
never will permit non-American !
domination of her northern heigh- j
bors.

From the storm-swept region
round Deep Gap. N. C.. Odus Wat- on
came to Charlotte today with a '
tory of how he barely escaped the ?
iisastrous landslide which killed 12
nd injured 14 last Tuesday night.
Odus. operator of one of' the two
tiling stations on the Boone to
'forth Wilkesboro highway, is ac- a
redited with having pulled nine of f
he victims from the tons of debris C
md water which literally fell from 1
be mountainside to cover two resiienees
and two filling stations on
the road, not to mention the 13
homes destroyed in the valley below.
Yet he couples this calamity with |
many which have come his way. and I
has already made promise to his'
neighbors that he'll get along with- I
t lit relief. But at that, he does have
a hard luck story which reads like i
tales manufactured for pure amuse- 1
ment. but real, nevertheless.
"When I first started logging on
New river, my boss went broke, so
1 went to threshing with a new machine
I bought. 1 geared my tractor
so high that it blew up and 1 lost
all i had in it. Then I went to
Montana, where a horse threw me,
and 1 strained my back; so I began
work in irrigation. At this job 1
took inflammatory rheumatism and
spent ail my money in the hospital,
sc I went to California to get a job
in the redwood forest, but 1 couldn 11
pass the health examination there. I
then came back to Deep Gap and
bought a pickup to haul cattle, but
it wrecked. I then went into the
filling station business, but soon afterwards
took pneumonia.
"One day. a man came in and
tried to swap me a gun, and it went
