Being of Democratic families, both say they will vote for Clyde Hoey for gfovemor and have not indicated that they will vote any other way than the “straight ticket.” A number of other persons over 76 years of age in the same ward are among the many new registrations.

Japanese Pacific Air Lines Drawing Attention Of League GENEVA, Oct. 29.—(^^Authori tative quarters said today Japan may be questioned on its decision to organize airlines over a vast ex panse of the South Pacific. The decision to connect Japan with its far-flung Mandated Islands below the equator, necessitating the constructing of airdromes, was re ported to the current, meeting of the League of Nations mandate commission. Although Japan nas resigned from the league, she has not relin quished her guardianship over some 1,400 former German islands under a mandate which prohibits the erection of fortifications or the. establishment of military or naval bases on them. Japan, furthermore, has given evidence she has no intention of giving up their custody. The question, therefore, is set in the mandate commission’s lap, oe cause of Tokyo’s agreement to sub mit regular accounts of Japanese stewardship as though Japan still were a member of the League of Nations. Japan Inherited the islands in reward for her support of the Allies during the World war. In 1922, when the mandate was formally taken over by Japan, the defense corps stationed on Uie is lands, a center of Japanese naval action during tiie war, were- re moved and naval contingent's were withdrawn.

The boy, whose plight brought offers of blood donors from all parts of the nation, died at his home. Three transfusions were given to Philip during September by 13 year old Maurice Oldham, son of City Commissioner Mack Oldham of Lexington, Xy. The youth was chosen from hundreds of volunteers who answered appeals by letter and telegram. The Levitt boy was stricken with veridans streptococcic infection. Blood transfusions are necessary to ft&ht the infection. and donors, physicians said, must be persons who have recovered from tlie infec tion or have been inoculated against it NEW RATES NOT TO AFFECT CITY SAYS_WOODSON Operates Under Year ly Contract, Rural Users Benefit COSTS ARE GIVEN Reductions in Duka Power com pany's rates, announced this morn ing, will not affect Shelby's rate, Mayor H. 8. Woodson stated today. Industrial plants in Shelby and ru ral customers who are supplied at retail by Duke power lines will be affected, however. In addition to rural customers of this county the reduction will affect residents of Rutherfordton and Splndale, whore the Duke com pany owns the distributing systems. It will not affect Kings Mountain and Oherryville. it is understood, since these towns, like Shelby, own their own distributing systems and operate on yearly contracts. In discussing power rates and the proposed municipal generating plant, funds for which have been definitely allocated by the PWA, Mayor Woodson stated that the board of aldermen will take the matter up for definite consideration at an early meeting. No decision has been made fav oring either diesel or steam gener ating power, he said, but investi gation is being made about both and reports of engineers will guide the board, provided decision is made to go ahead. Generating Saving* Mayor Woodson says the saving possible to the city Is very definite in his opinion. He cites Rocky Mount, which Is generating with a steam plant at a cost to switchboard efr dO cents per lWlfTWwatt. Shel by's average rate paid the power company is $1.08 per 100 kilowatt. The saving per year to Shelby, if these rates, obtain, he states, would be approximately $37,500 'per year on the basis of present use of 5, 730,000 kilowatts per year. Estimating the life of either a steam or diesel plant at 30 years, declared conservative, he points out the theoretical saving over a per iod of 30 years would be over $500, 000. Rural Reductions Reductions in retail rates as an nounced in Charlotte will give small savings to people in Cleveland county served by rural lines of the Duke Power company. Under the present rates, residen tial users pay 80 cents for the first 10 kilowatt hours, five oents each for the next 30, four cents each for the next 30, three cents each for the next 50 and 3 1-3 cents each for all over 100. The initial rate will remain the same, as will the rate for the next 30 kilowatt hours, but the next 30 will be at 3 1-3 cents each and all over 50 at 3 1-3 cents each. A comparison shows that new and old bills will run the'same for 10, 30 and 30 kilowatt hour users but a 40-kilowatt hour user who has been paying $3.30 monthly will hereafter pay only $3.15. A 50-kwh user will pay $2.50 Instead of $3.60, a 60-kwh bill will be $3.75 Instead of $3.90, etc. LARGE SAVING TO STATE IN NEW RATES RALEIGH, Oct. 39.—(A»>—Stanley Win borne, utilities commissioner estimated today customers in the Carolines would save $1,100,000 an nually under a reduction in electric (Continued on Page Two) Roosevelt Declares Propaganda Against Security Deliberate Charge That Future Congress Might Steal Social Security Funds Is Silly; Workers Not Being Fooled By Associated Press WILKES-BARRE, Pa., Oct. 29.—President Roosevelt said today that a “handful” of employers were spreading pay* envelope “propaganda” againRt the Social Security Act and linked with it a suggestion that It “might be well for them to move to dome other nation in which they have greater faith.” -- Speaking in Wilkes-Barre’s Miners Park on John Mitch ell Day—set aside to honor the leader of the union move ment among miners the President said: TEACHER DINES * WITH FORD AND OLD GRADS FUSS Charge Erickson Ate Meal With Negro Communist CHAPEL HILL, Oct. 29.—Dr. Frank P.

County Home Costs Only Half Sum Paid By Other Counties Operations of the county home in Cleveland cost the taxpayers just about half the sum for such services in other counties in the state. This information is gained from a report just issued by the board of public charities in North Carolina, headed by Mrs. W. T. Boat. The total cost last year for maintenance of the county home superintended by John Tucker and caring far an average of 70 patients daily was $7,336.10 or a monthly per capita cast of $8-61- Annal per capita cost was $103.37.

The average for the state was 516.34 per month and $196.09 per i year. Careful management, a good set of buildings, growing plenty of food at home, with a little extra to sell were given as the factors which saved money here. Other Information given in the report indicated that the county last year gave the sum of $13,068.40 for welfare and relief last yeas which Included emergency relief, pauper burials, and administration of relief. The budget this year calls for $19330 The city of dheiby gave only $100 for relief, and was listed at the ; bottom in all principal cities In the 1 slate for such ran km.

They seek repeal of the act. the President said, because under It they have to put up three dollars to the workers' one to pay for the pensions and Insurance. "These propagandists,'" he added, “are driven In their desperation to the contemptible, unpatriotic sug gestion that some future congress will steal these insurance funds for other purposes. Fear Government “If they really believe what they say In the pay envelopes, they have no confidence In our form of gov ernment or Its permanence. It might be well for them to move to some other nation In which they have greater faith.” The President, making his second drive for Pennsylvania's 34 elector al votes, travelled by train from New York City, where he ended a busy day with a pledge to work for "better city homing’’ for lower-in come groups.
