Raleigh, Jaa. 15.—You’d bet

forest laws.
Tired of losing cases In court
and having difficulty in convict
ing persons charged with violat
ing laws on brush burning and
forest fires, di.strict and county
forest wardens have been "to
school’’ and tl.e course included a
mock trial of defendants.
Usually county solicitors and
county judges took part so that
conditions would be as nearly like
those of a regular court session as
possible.
“These mock trials were con
ducted in great seriousness,” said
W. C. McCormick, assistant state
forester. “In the past we have
frequently lost cases in court be
cause our wardens were not fa
miliar with court procedure.’’

Raleigh, Jan. 15—^An airplane
flown by Mrs. Ann McKee, of
Richmond, Va., coughed up a cy
linder in mid-air today, and made
a forced landing in. a cornfield 11
miles from here. None of the
three occupants was hurt.
Mrs. McKee said a cylinder
'blew through the cowl and
wrapped half the engine around
the nose of the plane.”
The passengers were Miss Mary
Riddle, of Seattle, Wash., and
Lee Broce, of Black^urg, Va.
They were en route to Virginia
from the Miami air races.
The forced landing was the
second for Broce In a couple of
weeks. The first occurred In Sa
vannah, Ga., while he was en-
route to Miami as a passenger In
another plane.

to his pastor to be present and to
have a part In hie birthday cele
bration, aa he has known Uncle
Billy for 48 years, it having been
hls privilege to spend more time
and enjoy more meals in hls home
than In any others except hls own
home. It has been Mr. Comer’s
hapipy experience to spend seven

Uncle Billy’s home while teach

much like home to the teacher

Cooperation Is Succeeding!
Clean Up or Close Up*' Campaign, with Public's Aid,
Is Ridding State of Illegal, Disreputable Beer **Joints”
CtJonel Edgar H. Bain
State Director
"Conrageons snpport from the pub
lic, press, officuls and law-abiding
beer retailers accounts for our Com
mittee’s heartening success,” de
clares Crtonel Bain. “My apprecia
tion Is hereby extended to all. to
gether with my appeal for continu
ance of this inteUl^nt cooperation.”
Six months ago, the Brewers and North Caro-
lina Beer Distributors Committee began its a
efforts to eliminate those relatively few beer
outlets that sought to hide liquor selling and
other illegal activities behind the respectabilit)’
of legal beer licenses.
“Clean Up or Close Up” was the ultimatum.
The results are gratifying. Public sentiment
has been awakened. Newspapers all over the
state have reenforced us with editorial support.
Law enforcement agencies have responded
with constructive aid. And 37 licenses have
been revoked — 37 “dives,” so to speak,
“kayoed.”
For the generous cooperation received, we are
most grateful. Accept our pledge that through
out the New Year we shall continue unremit
tingly the job of driving law violators out of
the beer retailing business in North Carolina—
driving them out, and keeping them out.
Editorial Comment on *‘Clean Up Campaign
Buckingham Post - Dispatch:
•The InOuatry does not want
beer sold In Joints where blind
tigers operate. ... That’s why
the Industry has a ‘clean up’
committee.”
Oxford Ledger: "An alertness
to Insure distribution of their
product only through reputa
ble outlets la keeping the
Brewers and North Carolina
Beer Distributors Committee
active In many sections of
North Carolina.”
Oreensboro Eecord: "... tbe
state committee of the brew
ers and beer distributors is In
a poBltloD to render a very
definite aervlce la ridding
communities of plaoee which
belong In the category of
‘dives and low «Um hang-
outa’"
Statesville Dally: "The aver
age citizen Is still rubbing hls
eyes In unbelief, hut slowly Is
becoming convinced when he
sees beer dealers loelng their
licenses after engaging In
questionable practices. And
that has happened here in
Iredell.”
Darbam Snn: "The dealers In
beer have outlawed the boot
legger . . . each a campaign la
certain to have wholesome ef
fects."
BMowy Dally Beeord: "... the
Beer oommfttee has dona Its
duty, an persons who sn
sincerely Interested In curbing
the Illegal sale of hard Uquor
Win waloome the opportontty
to Jofai tn the erusade."
Salisbury Post: "The beer folk
have taken the stand that
they want beer dispensed only
In establishments of good gen
eral reputation. To that end
they ... are filing formal legal
petitions for the closing of
such establishments as serve
beer but fall In some measure
to sustain a good name."
The State (Balelgh): "C(4. ad-
gar Bain ... Is reporting ex
cellent progress ... The work
has been progressing quietly
but excellent reeulte have been
accomplished."
Lexington Dispatch: ... "where
peraon* are found aelUng with
out licensee the violation Is
promptly neperted ... This
work In a good many Instanoes
may result In a derided Cheek
on bootlegging.”
