Mrs. Elbert Williams, 6f Dallas, Texas, National Camp Fire Girls president, and Lorraine Neill, Camp Fire Girls conservationist, are trying to decide which forest to take Ambassador Wilson Leaves Germany Washington, Nov. 15. ? Immi nence of a diplomatic break be tween the United States and Ger many was believed strengthened today when President Roosevelt* forcefully denounced Nazi perse cution of the Jews and said that Ambassador Hugh K. Wilson had' been ordered home from Berlin to give him a personal report. Mr. Roosevelt departed from White House custom and allowed himself to be quoted directly. "The news of the past few days , from Germany," he said at his 1 press conference, "lias deeply shocked public opinion In the Uni ted States. "Such news from any part of the world would inevitable pro duce a similar profound reaction among American people in every j part of t'he nation. "I myself could scarcely believe that such things could occur in a 20th Century civilization. "With a view to gaining a first hand picture of the sikifttion in Germany. I asked the Secretary of State to order our Ambassador to i Berlin to return at once for a re- j port and consultation."

Trees At Mills High School Our women having ' asked for and received the right to vote and take part in all measures and re gulations, should try to realize that tihey can not violate all the rules for law abiding citizens and be excused and applauded for their conduct just because they are women. Any citizen on the street haa a right K> travel the streets unmolested if he has done 110 in jury and violated no law. A woman who accosts a man and , abuses him, and goes so far as to tell him to leave town, subjects herself to an even chance of hear ing very unpleasant things and just' the same things a man would get under these circumstances,' rough, coarse language, and plen- j ty of it, and she could have no j one to hlame but her-self. Our P. T. A. should 'remember ' this before they again send one of their members out to stop a man on the street so she could en- j tertain her audience at the man's' expense, with many hard words and abuses. The older men will submit perhaps, because 't-is hard . to overcome the habits of a life ; time. The younger men will sooner or later let go and give the P. T. 1 A. abuse for abuse. I do not see why it is necessary for the P. T. A. to deliberately bring this on. Tennyson said ''Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers." These { ladies have "Store Knowledge", ! "Book Learning", but these with out justice and fairness amount I to nothing. When I found they were de stroying a part of the grove at j Mills High School I was very much troubled and surprised. 1 at once 1 called up some of my men friends, most of them Kiwanians, and asked for information. 1 did not call a woman in the P. T. A. or out of it. for that matber, because. I did not know who was having the trees taken up. or why. They belonged to the people of Franklin County which included Louisburg. I Miink this is correct. Why can't we have shade trees? ! We need them, at least our young children and our older people need them. All our big and best cities have parks and play-grounds full of trees, of which they seem very proud and take every care, and delight in calling strangers' at tention to them. Do we want a1 "Skull Bone" yard around our school, barren, bleak, hot and un attractive? Are we to keep noth ing, destroy everything which was left to us by the people who cared for, protected and tried to train us to understand and appreciate? Then why do we destroy what' we have; and what the youngest of us will not live to replace? Can't we stop a moment and listen and think? The trees we have, slaughtered in the Mills Hifch School grove in the past week contained seventy-five per cent sound trees with a good chalice to live another hundred years. This land with a white oak growth lias never been cult-ivated. As far bacji as our records go, it was a white oak growth original. How many changes has It seen?1 How many boys and girls. Indian and white, played here, rested, as Hlijah did. only the best he could find was a juniper, the saddest of all trees. Now our t'l-ees are gone, nobody will ever feel proud of having j been a party to it except the few, ] the very few, who like to have I their own way, and even they w ill j regret it when the good tihat is in them comes to the top again^ and f the garlands of victory have with-| ered and gone bacl^ to dust and i'he sun across Tar River cast no summer shadows of oak trees at Mills High School, no lattice work of limbs on the snow, and the birds fly over but do not stop. j except to drop a wreath on t'he graves of the trees they an^i theirs had. haunted for perhaps i J thousand years. Well, they are gone, and as A busy business man told me the ot'her day, "You and I will soon b6 gone too, so why worry about it?", I .said, "We have to go, but ib it) necessary that we should leavp nothing behind us"? Then I said,' "You have oak trees in your yard,! these you will leave too. What) will you take for them now to be cut down"? He saidv "Not tor? 11000 each." So not all our people; hate the trees and maybe there Ite' hope t'hat some of them may yet be saved. I am accused of inconsistency as a saw-mill man. objecting to cut ting down trees. A timber forest is a commercial proposition and has lifted the mortgage from many a home. I have never knowingly cuti a shade tree or cut one that did not belong to me. Thornton Jeffress. JUSTICE P.
