THE COUNTY THE STATE THE U N 1^ N ^Kg f VOLUMN LXX SUBSCRIPTION $1.50 ? Te LOUIS BURG, N. CAROLINA (EIGHT PAGES) MM UK It 2ft CRISIS CONTIN UES IN EUROPE Negotiations Fail To Produce Peace i Hitler Renews Demands With Increase; Poland Refuses To Send High Official; All Europe Mak ing Greatest Preparations For War in History; Any Moment May Bring Breaking Out of Hostili ties, London, Aug. 30. ? Fuehrer Adolf Hitler failed tonight in an effort to induce Poland to send an emissary to Berlin immediately t<o receive his full demands and negotiate on surrender of Danzig and the Polish Corridor, and Europe's great powers brought their armies to a new high pitch. The British government sent a , message to Hitler, answering his i request that* it try to convince the I Poles of the advisability of send- I ing one of the heads of Warsaw I government to Berlin. Even before dispatch of the British note, Ambassador Sir Nevile Henderson in Berlin had advised the German government that) Britain would not make such a direct recommendation to Po land. In Warsaw, an official govern ment spokesman said Hitler's lat est proposals to Britain were "even cruder" than his statement to France and were unacceptable. Poland Balks Poland was reported in Paris to have informed both the British and French governments that none of Hitler's latest' demands were ac ceptable. Thus, it seemed apparent that Poland would not agree to a situ ation reminiscent of Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg's visit to Hitler Just before the .Nazi absorption of Austrta or the urgent visit to Berlin of President Emil Hacha of Czechoslovakia before the little republic was taken over by Ger many. Instead of approving Hitler's re commendation to Poland, the Brit ish government merely passed it on to Poland "for the purpose of information." Tonight's British message to Germany was understood to have stated again in forthright terms Britain's determination to fight for Poland if the Poles go to war over Danzig, the Corridor or upper Silesia. At the same time, Germany was told that Hitler's "observations" for direct Polish-German negotia tions In Berlin had been com municated to Wnrsaw and that Poland had been asked to send her own observations to Britain. Warsaw, Aug. 3'J. ? Adolf Hit ler's latest reply to Britain is "even cruder" than his statement to France, an official Polish spok esman said tonight after further details of the Hitler note had been received. Polish reaction to the note was signalized by an order for "gen eral mobilization," described as a security measure against the com pletion of total German mobiliza tion, occupation of Slovakia by German troops, and complete sus pension of Polish righte in Dan zig as ordered by Danzig officials with the barking of the German Gestapo (secret police). The mobilization was not "gen eral," since two more classes of reservists remain to be called to the colors, but Polish law lacks any other term. . <-< Warsaw Darkened Radio warnings tonight ordered air raid precautions throughout the city. At 10:30 p. m. residents were commanded to put out all lights Immediately. A few street lamps were kept burning but* those were to be extinguished shortly. Neon and other advertising signs were ordered, darkened. It was said that ttrcr order was an experiment to determine how long It takes to make the Polish capital Invisible from the air. Another sign of the gravity of the situation was a Polish warn ing broadcast'to ships of all na tions that the mouth of the Gulf of Danzig was a danger point ? strong indication that mines had been laid there against possible German action against Gdynia, Danzig and the Hela Peninsula. Ships approaching the coast were warned to use pilots from Gdynia. Asserting the latest Hitler note Is "even cruder that his reply to Premier Daladler," the official spokesman Indicated strongly that the Poles will not consider such proposals as Hitler reportedly has been making. The opinion was ex pressed privately that the propos al constituted "an Insult to Polish national sovereignty." Trouble In Danzig A foreign office spokesman anv nounced that two more Polish cus tom officials had been arrested in Danzig by the Gestapo, "showing the clear attitude of DaSfcig." In addition, the spokesman said, two Polish representatives who had asked the Danzig Senate to confer with them on supplying Danzig with foodstuffs were arres ted. They had discussed the ques tion throughout the morning 011 a friendly basis and were leaving for luncheon when the Gestapo arrested tJiem on th'fe street, it was said. Recorder's Court Franklin Recorder's Court held a large session Tuesday with sonteH of its cases long drawn out. The docket was disposed of as follows: J.

Strowd announces I the Mills School will open Sept. | 7th at 8:45 and will go through | the regular schedule of work for j the day. There will l>e one change in the faculty for this year. Mrs. Harvey Bartholomew, who has taught at' the Epsom School for the past seven years, will take the work taught by Mrs. Martha Sco ville Forbes the past two years. Mrs. Bartholomew conies to us highly recommended and it is be lieved that' she Will be an asset to the school". , , "The Library workers ha\e bean busy all summer, gleaning, repairing, and cataloging books in the reading room. These workers have greatly improved the Library and have made the books more accessible to the students, which is a valuable service. It is hoped that a bookmobile may be avsiil able again this year, to give Mie pupils the advantage of reading a greater variety of books. "A course in Expression, or Public Speaking, will be offered by Mrs. Jauies King. One of the most coveted arts is the ability to speak effectively in public, and it is believed that, this course will prove to be popular with the High School students and members of the seventh grade. This course is in addition to the regular courses and there will be a nominal charge to each student taking it'. The details of the course will be work ed out later. Those who wish to take this course should see Mrs. \ King early as possible as the num ber in the course will be limited. "The Rental System for High School books has been sligh.My changed for this year. The High School Student will pay his h?me room teacher a flat fee of $2.40 to cover the cost of the entire set of textbooks for the year, and when this receipt is presented to , subject teachers books will be is- j sued. For example a pupil IB' thej eleventh grade will pay $-;40 to , Mrs. Dorey and get a receipt from her for this amount.* When the j English Teacher goes in the room | the student shows' her t'he recelp. and she issues to him the English . "This fee does not include the | cost of laboratory manuals for the courses in Science oi' a work book , that may be needed. But -triese amounts are small. The High School st'Udents are urged to biing | this fee of $2.40 the first day of i school as no books can be Usued until the fee is paid. This tee | covers the entire cost of text books, whether the student takes four courses or six couises, the , fee is t-he same. . "The basal textbooks in the Elementary School are free to the pupils in the grades. Kowever. supplementary readers are ?ot free. The pupils in the first and ^ stcond grades pay a fee of fifty cents for the privilege of reading six ext'ia books, that are not In cluded in the basal texts. The third, fourth, and fifth grades pay a fee of sixty cents for supple mentary readers. The sixth and seventh grades a fee of cents. These fees are payable at t'he beginning of school. II a student should move to another school any time during the year he returns all of his books to his teacher and she In turn gives him a receipt, which entitles him to get the same books at> the "'bej school without additional cha^8? "The colored schools in the Louisburg District will open the same date as the Mills School. ^The rental system for colored High School students is the same as outlined above. "Teachers assignment in the I Mills Elementary School is as lol |'?* Mrs. A. B. Perry and Mrs. H. H. .Perry first grade. Mrs. Inscoe and Miss Winston second grade. Miss Helen Smlthwlck and Mrs. Uzzell third grade. Mrs. Lewis fourth grade. Mrs. Jackson and Miss Swindell fifth grade. Miss Johnson sixth grade. Miss Davis sixth and seventh grades. Miss Jarman seventh grade. High School ? Mr. Huggins eighth grade. Mrs. Bailey ninth grade. Mrs. Bartholomew tenth grade,. Mrs. Dorey eleventh grade. Miss Rogers Home Economics."

Hoey Rejects Roosevelt's Date For Thanksgiving; Sets Nov. 30 Raleigh. ? Governor Hoo.v said t'his week he- had decided not to change the date of Thanksgiving in North Carolina. Reasons for changing the' date from Nov. 3') to Nov.\23. as suggested by Presi dent Roosevelt, "are not impres sive," the Governor declared in a statement. "After mature consideration," he said, "I have decided that it would be unwise to change the date for Thanksgiving Day, and hence the last Thursday in No vember will be designated ill due time as the official date, which will be Nov. 30. 193H. "The reasons for a change are not impressive. For 75 years the jlast' Thursday ill November hasl1 [ been observed in 'America as a day ! of Thanksgiving. . . . The sug-|j ] sestion. that it is too close to | i Christmas and too far away from' l.abor l)ya overlooks the fact thatj Armistice Day is rather generally observed. Anyway, it Thannsgiv iug was to come midway between ' Labor Day and Christinas, it i would be fixed for early Novem ber. "I am adyised that the orphan- 1 ages In the State have planned for their Thanksgiving offerings and | a change of date would disrupt i their program, and would result! in MHk confusion es ? H? ? many) other observances of the day." LOUISBURG WINS TRI COUNTY LEAGUE CROWN Hut Trtiutmnn Hit* I'ltir <if Hom ers for Louisburg In H-<( Win < >vi r I'ilot ?
