The ClvlHan Defense lofflclals had no advance notice more than the warning signal from district headquarters a few minutes be fore the alert signal. In those few minutes,the various workers were notified and bad time to get on their posts. The control center was manned by R. T. McNiel, mayor and con trol center operator, in the town hall. Assisting him were Coor dinator J. E. Walker .and j. B. Norris. Three volunteer girls, Misses Mary Nichols, Vivien Ker baugh and Edna Bullls, handled the messages and office work. Civilian defense officials were well pleased with the cooperation extended by the public with but few exceptions. The signals ap parently were weil understood. However, attention is again called to the fact, that the army's eastern defense command has specifically ordered that no lights be left unattended and that pen alties up to $5,000 fine or five years imprisonment are provided for leaving lights unattended and which cannot he extinguished con veniently by an air raid warden. The surprise blackout Thurs day night showed that some lights are being left unattended ond should an air raid occur In which there would not be time for an alert signal the consequences could be serious.

Coltrane. popular president of Brevard College, in presenting the institution’s appli cation for a 200 m- n army flight cadet training unit to a committee composed of army, navy and edu- cationrl authorities. We struck two or three serious' snags, but through the fine co-operation and influence of Congressman Dough- ton. as well as Congressman* Weaver pnd Senator Reynolds’ of fice. we were able to hurdle these obstacles and receive approval of the application in record time. Brevard College is the second lerge.st junior college in the Caro- linas. It is co-educatipnal and is owned and operated by the Wes tern North Carolina Methodist conference.' A 200-man cadet unit will en able the institution to contribute maximum service to the war ef fort and to stay in business tor the duration. So In helping the college.

McNeill Winner Very Important Court Decision Robert Hayes McNellL who wa.s the 1940 G. O. P. candidate for governor in this state, has re cently emerged victorious in a highly important case before the United States Supreme Court, in Washington. The decision wipes out the tax that has been impos ed upon churches, fraternal or ganizations and others engaged in reform, philanthropic, educational and religious work, without pri vate profit. Progress, a monthly magazine by the International Reform Fed eration in Washington, reported that the fedemtion has employed Mr. McNeill as its chief counsel for sometime and recently it urg ed that he dig into the legality of the demand by District of Colum bia Unemployment Coippensation Commission that the federation must pay the usual unemployment compensation tax to this commis sion as though it were a commer cial or political organization. Study of the language of the law convinced Mr. McNeill the federation was rot subject to this tax and he felt the courts would hold the fedeAtlon exempt. He went into court. He first ap peared before Mr. Justice Bailey, of the district court, asking him to enjoin the collection of the tax. That trihnnal refused to enjoin and so the case was lost there. However, Mr, McNeill appealed the case to the Circuit Court of Appeals and after a hard legal battle won when that court re versed Justice Bailey. Then the commission ojrried the case to the United States Supreme Court where Mr, McNeill again was vic torious. that highest court in the land refusing to certify the case to it for a herring. In reporting the victory won, Mr. McNeill said, in Progress, “This decision gives us the assur ance that neithar the demands of political reformers nor even a war emergency can reach the revenues of these tax exempt organizations, thereby lessening, if not render ing entirely abortive, all their ef forts to keep alive the highest moral, social, religious and edu cational objectives. “I am using very conservative words when 1 say that all charita ble and educational associations, which devote their Income and energies to good works, may feel protected now by the guarantees of this decision as though it were a new charter of liberty."

Mrs. Oli^ ■ JT.»» All ntaihi GOVERNMENT « Orders Cut IN NEWSPAPERS BEHER GET ON THE SAFE SIDE NOW! The Government has restricted* the use of paper of newspapers and magrazines in 1943. It estimated the curtailment at an averge of 10 per cent below 1942 consumption and warned that additional cuts may be expected. For newspapers the curtailment was accomplished by limiting each paper to amount of newsprint used in 1941. to supply its net paid circulation, with no al lowance for the printing of free copies, returns and over-issues. However, a three per cent allowance was granted for spoilage. For magazines the War Production Board ordered an equivalent conservation by limiting each publish er to 90 per cent of his 1942 paper consumption. The cut and the unfavorable outlook ahead are the result, WPB said, of increasing military demands for wood pulp for explosives and containers for overseas shipments, combined with dwindling manpower in the woods where pulp logs are cut and shortage of electric power and materials. When the cut comes those who fall by the wayside will be those who have let their subscriptions get be hind. Those who have paid ahead will be certain to get their papers.
