L Itoar session lest a foreign power
Beam the formula.
A Joint meeting of the Senate
^mnd House nary and military af-
tsirs committee has been ^llrd

' Vartment officials will be inytted

wnimals. He has asked the com'^
wslttee for permission to so dem-
wnetrate and that the committee
would discuss it with military au-

Talked at Hoariiijf
Rep. Ralph £». Church (R-IIl),
who attended the Shnate commit
tee meeting, announced in a
statement that the experiment
with animals as victims was dis-
' cussed, but said that Barlow bad
assured the committee there
would be no suffering.
“I am sure,” Church said, ‘‘that
lie is as much inclined to pre
vent suffering of dumb animals
*s any representative of a society
for the prevention of cruelty to
dum animals.
‘‘He said that any animal that
could be wounded by the ex
plosive would be close enough to
lie Instantly killed by the detona
tion. He says the death of such
mnimals will be much quicker
than any means used in packing
houses.”

Funeral Serir*fceB
For Ira G. Dancy
at
Funeral services were held
Reddies River Baptist church
Monday morning at 11 o’clock for
Ira Gilbert Dancy, who died at a
Veteran’s Hospital at Johnson
City, Tenn. 'The services were con
ducted b|y Rev. J. W. Luke.
Pallbearers were" members of
the American Legion Post 125. u. S. district court today
W. C. Greer, W. M. McNeill, Otto vlnlatinn of fee ree-
Whittington, Odell Whittington,
Ooyd Blledge, and R. M. Yale.
Honorary pallbearers were C. B.
Eller. Lattie Welch, Noah Harris.
Clyde Harris, Sanford Mastin and
Will Brown.
Ira Gilbert Dancy was born
June 24, 1891. Died March 9,
1940. Age 48 years, 8 months
and 15 days.
He is survived by his wife,
Mrs. Ella Phillips Dancy, and six
children. Pansy, Gilbert, Mary
Katherine, Phillip, Norman and
Joyce. Also surviving are his fath
er and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Nor
man Dancy; three brothers and
one sister: E. L., O. G., and Clyde,
of Fayette county. West Virginia;
and .Miss Annie Dancy, of North
Wilkesboro; two brothers pre
ceded him in death.
Ira Dancy enlisted in the U. S.
Navy and served a number of
years in peace times. He was hon
orably discharged from the Navy,
and returned home. Very soon
after he got out of the Navy, the
United States went to war. He
again enlisted In the Army and
served until the endjif the _War.
Thus giving a large part of’his
life in the service of his country,
and this service he rendered to
his country caused him to suffer
much pain and agony and finally
was the cause of his death.
I would like to mention a few
words in regard to his brothers
who also gave their lives for our
country. His oldest brother, who
had many years of service in the
Navy, was still in the Navy at the
outbreak of the War. He was on
the ‘‘Collier” (Cyclops) that left
.American port bound for South
America. This ship and the crew
were never heard from. It has
been a great mystery as to what
became of this ship and its crew.
Many bplieved that the ship was
sunk by a German submarine or
a mine.
I would like to say a few words
about his father, Mr. Norman
Dancy. He gave three sons to the
service and they are all dead. I
think he should receive the re
spect and admiration of all the
people of North Carolina and es
pecially Wilkes County, and I
doubt if there is another father
that gave so many sons that lib
erty and Democracy should not
perish from the earth.
Our hearts are saddened at
the passing of this fine soldier
and citizen. He was a good work
er, and prov'jer for his family,
and he will be greatly missed by
them.
The World War veterans are
answering the roll-call at the rate
of 112 a day. At this rate it
won’t be long until the majority
have passed to the great beyond.
