The Alamance gleaner \ VOL. LXII. GRAHAM, IN, C., THURSDAY JULY 30, 1936. NO. 26. Cuuvwnt IN REVIEW by 6iwa/uL UJ. Pi rv OuwtfA 9 Western Newspaper Union. Bloody Civil War Rages in Spain /"MVIL war, desperate and bloody, ^ broke out in Spain, and though the government in Madrid declared it was in control of the situation, such news as got through the censor ship indicated that the struggle was by no means ended. On one side were the Fascists and royal ists led by Gen. Francisco Franco; on the other were the loyal troops and the workers, Com munists and Social ists. The rebels L. Companys started the game in Spanish Moroc co and the Canaries and were soon in control there. Then Franco, who is only forty-three years old but a dynamic character, crossed over to Algeciras, followed by the Foreign Legion and a lot of Moors, Moroc cans and black African troops. Aft er a sharp batttle at La Linea, close to Gibraltar, these contingents be gan a march northward toward Se ville and Cadiz. There was severe fighting in San Sebastian, where the American embassy is located in summer, and in other border towns. Malaga was reported to be in flames. ? Commanders of the rebels assert ed their aim was to "save the re public," to keep order and to de stroy the Marxists. In Barcelona their attack was directed especially against Luis Companys, president of the Catalonian parliament, who was said to be besieged in his of fices. Jose Maria Sil Robles, leader ?f the Catholic C. E. D. A. (Con federation of Autonomous Right Parties) fled to Biarritz, France. An aviator who escaped the rebels in Morocco declared Gil Robles had instigated the revolt. Premier Santiago Casares Qui roga resigned in favor of Diego Martinez-Barrio, speaker of parlia ment, but the latter held the office only a few hours. Then Jose Giral, former minister of marine, formed a cabinet with General Pozas, who has the support of both the power ful Civil Guard and Republican ele ments of the army, as minister of war. The rebels sent word to the gov ernment that unless it capitulated they would bomb Madrid from planes. Olympic Torch Started to Berlin Games TN OLYMPIA, Greece, scer.e of * the first Olympic games, a torch was lighted by the rays of the sun and a Greek runner seized it and started it on a 12-day relay to the sports field in Berlin where the Olympic flame is to be lighted on August 1. Five thousand distin guished persons were selected to carry the torch, these including King Boris of Bulgaria, King Pe ter of Jugoslavia, and a long list of princes, statesmen and sports men. On the last leg it was to be borne by S. Loues of Greece, winner of the marathon in the games of 1896. A hundred thou sand youths will accompany Loues in a parade to the stadium. Hot and Dry Spell Broken by Rains and Cool Winds I> ELIEF for the drouth-stricken ^ regions in the Middle West came with rains in many sections and cooling winds that sent the Dr. Tagwell temperature down toward normal. However, it was too -late.. -to. save the. crops in many statet, and prices of foodstuffs con tinued to advance. The farmers began to receive aid from the government in the form of cash. anJ no one could deny that they need ea this help. Loss of life throughout the United States from the unprecedented heat wave exceeded 3,850, an all-time high. Agronomists in Minnesota, Ne braska, Iowa, Illinois and Ohio ex pressed apprehension over the out look for the corn crop unless gen eral rains should develop rapidly. Arriving at Bismarck, N. D., to help co-ordinate drouth relief en terprises, Rexford G. Tugwell, re settlement administrator, was in formed that approximately 80,000 farm families in the state were among the needy. A conference of state and federal officials in Bis marck developed a three-fold plan for the relief of dwellers in the des olated areas of the Dakotas, west ern Minnesota, eastern Montana and Wyoming. Nazi Decrees in Danzig Crush Opposition I TNLESS the protests of Poland ^ are effective, all opposition to Nazi power in the Free City of Danzig is due to be crushed. Dr. Arthur Karl Greiser, president of the Danzig senate, which is con trolled by Nazis, has issued ad ministrative decrees ordering: 1. Dissolution of any organization whose members, with knowledge of its executive board, spreads news "endangering the state interest." 2. Prohibition of review by the courts of police measures of a po litical nature, including those aimed at the right of assembly, the press, and free speech. ... 3. Prohibition of Jewish ritual slaughtering for food purposes. 4. Imposition of three month pro tective custody on persons declared to be "endangering the public peace." Thus the city's constitution is virtually set aside, and the Poles especially, having extensive eco nomic interests there, are indig nant. Doings of Towsendites in Their Convention AN ALLIANCE between Dr. Francis E. Townsend, Father Charles E. Coughlin and Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith in the interests Dr. Townsend oi a tnira party was announced at the Townsendite conven tion in Cleveland, attended by 12,000 followers of the California d o c t or who advocates pen sions of $200 per month for every person over sixty. In an address be fore the convention. Father Coughlin bit terly denounced the present admin istration and President Roosevelt and called upon the delegate; to follow Dr. Townsend in endorsing the candidacy of William Lemke for the presidency on the Union ticket. Lemke himself appeared before the convention before it adjourned and made a speech in which he pledged himself to "stand four square behind the old age pension movement" and denounced the present administration as "nation al lunacy." Nanking Troops Take Control of Canton REVOLT of the Cantonese against the Nanking govern ment has collapsed and latest re ports say government troops have entered Canton and taken over maintenance of peace and order. There was no opposition and the city was quiet. Chen Chi-tang, the Canton war lord, deserted his followers and fled to Hongkong on a gunboat. There was a scramble to find Chen's al leged silver hoard, said to amount to many million dollars, but much of it is believed to be deposited in foreign banks. The Nanking government gains possession of Kwantung province's fleet of more than 300 fighting planes, and also of extensive arm aments. These latter include quan tities of heavy artillery, field ar tillery and machine guns. Turkey Given Right to Rearm the Dardanelles ...?.e post-war treaty have granted to Turkey the right to re militarize the Dardanelles, and they, with Turkey, have signed a convention covering the matter. Only Japan made slight reserva tions because it is no longer a member of the League of Nations. The convention grants complete liberty to merchant marine pas sage through the straits in peace time and wartime, even with Tur key at war, provided the commer cial vessels do not assist the fight ing powers. The Russian navy Is granted com plete freedom in peacetime to leave and enter the Black sea through the straits, but nations outside will be subjected to limitations on pas sage of fighting ships through the. channel. signatories to the Lau Communist Campaign to Open on August 5 ?RATIONAL campaign headquar ^ ' ters of the Communist party have been opened in New York city and it is announced that Earl Browder, candidate for President, will start his speechmaking in Den ver on August S. From there ha goes to Salt Lake City, Los Ange les, San Francisco, Portland, Ore., Seattle, Butte, Bismarck and Min neapolis. All his speeches will be broadcast. James W. Ford, colored, the Communist party's candidate for vice president, will open his tour August 5 in Scranton, Pa. Attempt to Kill King Edward of England THE attempted assassination of King Edward VIII of England in London brought great alarm to the English speaking world. The King Edward attempt was made near Hyde Park and the monarch's life was saved by a woman bystander who grappled with the would-be assas sin and wrested a pistol from him. The king was re turning to Bucking ham palace from Hyde Park, where on horseback he naa presented new colors to six battalions of the Grenadier, Cold stream and Scots guards. In Paris, the celebration ol France's national holiday, Bastille day, saw the Champs Elysees a scene of rioting with rightists and leftists in combat with each other and the police. The disorders be gan when leftists were returning from their own parade in the east ern section of the city. Lewis and Others Are Summoned for Trial IMMEDIATE splitting of the * American Federation of Labor into two rival groups was averted by the action of the Federation's executive council in voting to bring to trial on August 3, the union leaders led by John L. Lewis on charges of "dual unionism." It had been reported earlier that the council had voted to suspend the 12 unions grouped as the Commit tee for Industrial Unionization. The council's action was looked upon as a peace move in the crisis that threatens open warfare in the labor movement. It was precipi tated by the drive to organize 500, 000 workers in the steel industry into one big industrial union by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers and his fol lowers. L. P. Ayers Predicts Big Business Improvement PREDICTING 1936 will be the best * business year since 1930 and "possibly since 1929," Colonel Leon :rd P. Ayers, economist of Cleve land, declared that statistics on all important business had shown sub stantial and "healthy increases" since the first of this year. Strikes, drouth and other difficulties have not affected increases in employ ment, markets and security ex changes, the economist said. "More steel has been produced in the first half of 1936 than in all 1932," he pointed out. "A major factor in the increased steadiness of business has been well sustained employment among the factory workers making durable goods." Henry Ford Has Vision Concerning Foods LJ ENRY FORD, approaching his 1 1 seventy - third birthday en visioned the eventual decline of farm animals as a source of the worlds lood and predicted that grains and other crops will largely be substituted (or them. "We can, I be lieve, get a more plentiful supply of food cheaper and better," ? he ? said;? "by processing the products of the soil instead of asking Henry Ford cows ana cmcKens 10 go u lor us. In the future farm animals of all kinds will decline in numbers." Army to Get Many New Fast Fighting Planes PERFECTED plans of the War * department for procurement of airplanes provide for the acquisi tion of 60 new fast fighting planes every month during the rest of this year. This has been made pos sible by the smooth functioning of a new purchasing plan started by Harry H. Woodring, assistant sec retary of war. Before the end of the year, 500 new planes will be ready for ac tion, officials said. Plans have been made for the purchase of more than 600 planes of various types in 1937. Traveling Clinic Brings Health to Children If little Johnny or Mary, living in a remote section ol the 1,094 square miles included in the large Los Angeles school district, has a toothache, infected tonsils, bad eyes, or any minor physical ailment, his parents don't worry. For soon the traveling healthmobile, the only one of its kind in America, will be along with its staff of oculist, dentist, and nurse. The unique healthmobile is a part of the medical service fur nished the Los Angeles schools, and which penetrates to every little hamlet and community in the vast em pire of the school district. The carload of health constantly travels from school to school, filling teeth, tak ing out tonsils, testing eyes, and caring for children who would otherwise be neglected. BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN By THORNTON W. BURGESS JERRY MUSKRAT'S TROUBLES BEGIN JERRY Muskrat watched Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter start on their journeys. Billy was going to a distant brook. Little Joe was going to the Big River. Both in tended to stay away until they were sure the trapper, who had just begun to make trouble along the Laughing Brook, would be so discouraged that he would take up his traps. When Jerry had said good-by to Billy Mink and Joe Otter there "I Suppose," Be Mattered, "My Trouble! Are Just Beginning." had been something of wistfulness in his squeaky voice. The (act is, Jerry would have loved to go visit ing also. But he knew that it was quite out of the question. In the first place, he is a slow traveler on land, and he felt that on land he would be in even more danger than if he stayed at home, despite those dreadful traps. Then, again, win ter would soon come and he must be prepared for it if he would live through it. Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter do not have to prepare for winter, but Jerry does. Convict Faces Gallows Already serving a life term for the murder of a Los Angeles police sergeant, "Little Phil" Alguin is shown in jail on charges of slay ing another man, Frank Rudeen, the same night he killed Detective Sergeant J. J. Filzgerak. in 1923. Brought back from Folsom jrison, i Alguin faces possible death on the gallows if convicted of the new murder charges. So Jerry sat on the top ol his louse and watched Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter out of sight. Then ie sighed. Then sighed again. "I suppose," he muttered, "my trou bles are just beginning. These traps Billy Mink told about were set for him, but I know trappers veil enough to know that sooner or later there will be some traps set -specially for me." Jerry was quite right. Early the lext morning as he was making his breakfast on a tily root he caught sight of some one coming down :he Laughing Brook. It wasn't Farmer Brown's Boy. It was a stranger. This stranger kept stop ping and examining every old log n the water and every hole along the bank. He stopped at three of Terry's favorite eating places and studied them. Jerry knew just what that meant. "That's that dreadful trapper," thought Jerry. "He's trying to find out where I am in the habit of go ing so that he may set traps there. It's clear to me that from now on I Eve's EplGrAros I CTost TP CJooen \J? can pull n thenselyes'fe tooether y in order \ to go to pieces csore. ef [actively I shall have to watch my step ev ery time I move." After the stranger had left, Jer ry swam to the places where the stranger had stopped. At each one of them his nose was tickled with a delicious smell. At one place he str.elled a carrot. At another place he smelled apple, and if there is any one thing that Jerry Muskrat likes it is apple. He was greatly tempted, was Jerry Muskrat. It seemed to him that he must go ashore and get those good things to eat. But he didn't. He just plunged his head under water so that he could no longer smell those things and then swam over to his house to think things jver. e T. W. Burg eat. ?

Slice any rich candy bar very thin and spread or lay between gin ger snaps. Moisten chopped flgs with orange juice and a bit of lemon juice, heated over water until smooth, add chopped peanuts and use for a sandwich spread. Spread small crackers with quince jelly and sprinkle with chopped walnuts; cover with an other cracker. Fancy cakes and cookies may serve for dessert in an emergency. SmaU-gingac-cookiM, put together with melted marshmallows or any good candy bar. Vanilla wafers made into sandwiches with melted peanut candy or caramels softened to spread. Crackers with white of egg, chopped marshmallows and nuts baked in a quick oven make delightful little cakes to serve with a cup of tea or chocolate. A few cans of pineapple on the emergency shelf will be found most desirable for any number of dishes. It is ready in the form of rich slices to be used as they are with meats, or shredded, or in small cans in cubes to be used as garnish for frozen dishes and other des serts. Crab meat is one of the most versatile of foods, especially good for a midnight snack, a sandwich or in the form of a cocktail. For the latter three tablespoonfula of catsup. two tablespoonfula of horseradish, one tablespoonful of Worcestershire sauce and salt to taste. Add the crab meat and serve thoroughly chilled. For simple head lettuce salad dress with lemon juice, a little salt and a handful of tolled, fresh ly roasted peanuts. Orange and lemon juice with a little seasoning make ideal salad dressings. ?
