Dear Mr Vining,
V The world, at the moment, seems
to be in a sorry mess, and I am
not caring for it at all. Yesterday
I saw a terrible newsreel picture
of the bombing of Shanghai, al
though when I say I saw it, in
actual fact I had my eyes closed
most of the time. Up to a short
while ago we have not been per
mitted iri this country to see hor
rows of any kind, nobody dead or
going to his death or meeting with
any unsavoury accident. But this
film is being deliberately shown in
all the cinemas to give us a little
foretaste of war in its’ new form
—against women and children.
The five minutes of it will, I am
sure, do more good then hun
dreds of feet of the What Price
Glory type of film. There is no
glamour about this one.
The weather is simply crazy, as
Visual. They have had a glorious
six weeks here of long golden days
without a cloud in the sky, and
holiday makers have had the best
fun they’ve had for years. But
now it’s so cold one day you nearly
die of it, and the next day it’s
roasting again, and the third day
it’s thundery, and the fourth it’s
like Christmas again. You meet
people dripping with heat in a
fur coat or weeping with cold in a
summer dress, and it seems the
weather is as mad as the world.
The Promeade Concerts continue
nightly 1 and continue to prove that
the English are far more musical
than is supposed. The whole floor

“3o—
” is “30” for Robert Lathan,
editor of The Asheville Citizen
who d ; ed Sunday night about 10
o’clock following a cerebral hemor
rhage. He was 56.. Came to Ashe
ville ten years ago from Charles
ton, S. C. “News and Courier”,
where he won the Pulitzer award
in 1924 for best editorial in the
nation that year. He had been
to Trvon a number of times as a
speaker and his editorials in the
Citizen were very popular through
out this region. This section and
the South has lost on© of its
first citizens. Don S. Elias said:
“A generously willing and val
uable counselor whom we all con
sulted constantly. He gave un
sparingly, probably too much so,
of his great mental and physical
energies to the solution of the
problems of friends, church and
community.
“He possessed great capacity,
great talents and a great heart.”
LAST CALL!
Today is the last call we can
make for funds for Harmon Field.
The note is due tomorrow. A num
ber of splendid gifts have been
received from people whose names
we are not at liberty to use, as
the money was given from the
heart to help pass on years of
happiness to future generations
and was noti given for any selfish
recognition. Harmon Field is for
everybody. How much do you
want to share in its pleasures, for
it is a pleasure when you help
