COUNTY CANNERY OPENING FOR YEAR THURSDAY ON FULL TIME; CAPACITY IS DOUBLED Orders On File Equal Output Past 3 Years Force of 70 Workers Will Be Used at Season's Peak, Evans States Henderson County Cannery, now one of the largest such in stitutions in this entire area will open its season full blast Thurs day, with a greatly enlarged and improved plant, following addi tions of machinery and extension of storage facilities over a pe riod of several weeks past at a cost of approximately $3000. George E. Evaru*. manager of this activity of Farmers Federa tion. announced late yesterday that the first trial run in the cannerv had been made Tuesday to test out the working of the enlarged plant and that Thurs day. a full-time force will be on duty.* The plant now is capable of an output double that of any former era, and Mr. Evans said yester day, the office has on file orders for as much stuff for this season as it has packed in the past three years. One of the most sanitary es-; tablishments of its type from the beginning of operations, the ma chinery is now so ingenious that from the time the beans or other vegetables are dumped in the mill for packing they are never touch ed by hand again and are me chanically transported to the door of a temporary store room which has a capacity for three carloads of cases. In addition to the new macn inery installed, the front porch of the cannery has been extended the full length of the cannery and enclosed with heavy wire netting. On it may be stored around 2000 bushels of produce as it is brought in and before it is moved into the cannery for consumption. At the south side, the new storage room for com pleted packs has been added. Be tween this and the railroad, still another temporary storage house has been erected. Although there is space for a truck to drive be tween these two new storage rooms a bridge may be let down between them, giving continuous transport from the storage room which is an extension of the plant through to the railroad tracks, so that now goods may be moved in their original cases from the plant and info the train for shipment without ever being exposed to weather. Two new machines in the plant of special interest include one for the extraction of tomato juice and another which stamps the serial number and the name of the cannery on each can as a part of the production process. TOMATO JUICE MACHINE INSTALLED The tomato juice extraction ma chine has a capacity consumption of 500 bushels of tomatoes per day, from which 2000 gallons of juice is taken. The stamping ma chine ineffaceably prints the name of the product in the can (Continued on page four) Counterfeiting Charged To Five ATLANTA, July 4.— (UP).— An alleged Georgia counterfeit ing ring traceable to New York City and Philadelphia was -re vealed here Tuesday with the an nouncement that three men and two women had been arrested at Augusta, Ga., and $490 in Coun terfeit money and burglar and bandit equipment had been seized. George Brodnax, Atlanta, head of the secret service here, re vealed that the five persons had been arrested in a hotel room in Augusta Silnday and that each had been placed under $10,000 bond. News of the arrests wa3 withheld pending completion of tlje investigation. The $490 was in counterfeit $10 notes on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The notes, however^ "carried the seal of the | Philadelphia Federal Reserve' bank. | J FRANCE READY TO TAKE QUICK DEFENSE MOVE Petain Authorized to En gage 30,000 More Men for Army Service PARIS, July 4.—(UP).—The army commission in the chamber of deputies was warned yesterday that Germany has a highly trained force whose capacity for quick ac tion may prove a menace. Deputy Taittinger declared re» cent events showed France must take precautions against possible lightning mobilization across the Rhine. Marshal Philippe Petain said it was necessary to extend the com pulsory service in the French army beyond a year if unable to recruit 30,000 volunteer soldiers to man the fortifications during the coming lean years for re cruits, caused by the dearth of births during the World war, 1914-18. Petain was reminded that the chamber already had roted finances to enable the en gagement of specialized volun teers. He was authorized to en gage SO,000 more men. raisinTmilk GOATS VIEWED AS PROFITABLE Fenwick Sees Potential In dustry From His Ex periment Here The raisin# of milk goats is seen as a profitable business by Frank Fenwick, who became in terested in goats as a hobby and later learred that they have great health value. Telling of his experience, Mr. Fenwick says that in January, 1932 he purchased four scrub goats as a hobby. He raised sev eral kids and disposed of them as pets. He milked the goats and fed the milk to his children. No ticing improvement in their con dition, he traded the scrub goats and purchased two real milk g«ats. These, he says, have been milked for a long time and at the present time he has five of the finest milk goats in Western North Carolina. Milk goats, he says, are the, poor man's cow. Eight goats can be fed at the cost of a single cow and they give from two to ten quarts of milk daily. He says that another advantage is that cheese can be made from any surplus milk and that the kids may be eaten. Milk, he says, is admitted to be a balanced food and children can digest goat's milk in 20 minutes, while cow's milk requires two hours. Goat milk is alkaline and cow's milk is acid. Goat's milk is especially good for babies with weak stomachs. There are several breeds of goats in the county, but he does not believe the bred to be impor tant. In his herd he has Toggen burgs, Nubians, and Saanens, and he intends to increase his herd by raising more goats. PLAY AND FIREWORKS AT KANUGA LAKE A patriotic play and program will be the feati re of the evening at Kanuga Lake, conference cen ter of the Episcpal church, where the Junior camp for boys and girls are now in session.

Nearly 400, l>oys and girls are registered jjt .the Junior camps at Kanuga. Americans Work Hard To Enjoy Glorious Fourth They Take Their Pleas ures Violently, as They do Other Things One hundred and fifty-eight years ago today the late Thomas Jefferson, of Virginia, propound ed what has come to be called the Declaration of Independence. Scratching in his scrawl which is scarcely ledgible to Americans today, the noted Virginian said many things relative to one George, who at that time was king. The principal trend of his discourse was largely to the ef fect that the king shall not be king any more. One hundred and fifty-eight years later his fellow Americans arise early on July Fourth, spoil otherwise perfectly good disposi tions on numerous golf courses, crack their skulls on numei'ous highway curves, blow off numer ous fingers with fireworks, feed themselves to numerous ants and redbugs in shady glens, crack many a straw hat and hurl many an invective at hapless umpires at ball games, drown themselves in many lakes, rivers and oceans, toast their tender backs and bodies under hot sun rays, wave many flags, march on sore feet in parades, and stand sweltering while orators shout, "When in the course cf human events," ad in finitum. In otrier words, America takes a holiday And as they do every thing else, Americans take a holi day violently, playing hard.

Prides Self On Being Lusty Young Nation But Its Government Among Oldest SOLDIERY OF U. S. DECLARED ITS STRENGTH Gratitude Should Obtain for Both the Living and the Dead By R. H. DELVECHIO Adjutant, Lake Lure Post, Veter ans of Foreign Wars Today, July 4th, this mighty nation joyously celebrates the ona hundred and forty-eighth anniver sary of the most glorious event in all its glorious history—Inde pendence Day, the day a new na tion was born. The day on which 13 small, poor, young English col onies, inexperienced, yet courage Sius; fearful, but yet determined, rimounced that they would no longer submit to the injustices and the persecutions of a tyrant king. . On July 4th, 1776, the Declara tion of Independence was en grossed in the Continental Con gress, signed by delegates from Lhe 13 colonies and became the cornerstone of the Republic of the United States of America, the rock on which was founded this nation's fundamental principles of life, liberty and pursuit of happi ness for all its people. Tf tha Declaration of Indenen dence needed justification, it may be found in the history of the world during the last i58 years. It may be found in the develop ment of that struggling, pov erty-stricken, danger-ridden little handful of Colonial states into a great, rich and powerful nation which has successfully met the times' affliction from without and ivithin, foreign aggression and in ternational jealousies. It may be found not only in the achieve ments of the United States of America, which have contributed to the wealth and economic strength of this nation, but in the humanitarian, educational and re ligious example we have set for the other peoples of the earth who look to America for leader ship in matters of justice and liberty, and all that which makes for the greatest good for the greatest number. In recalling America's splendid history of progress and attain ment our national consciousness is inevitably stirred by the record of one special group of our citi zenry. From that first war of the Revolution, in which we won our freedom, through the dangers and difficulties of our development as a nation, the territorial acquisi tions and conquests by which we spread our dominions from the (Continued on page two) STEWART BODY STILL SOUGHT: 75 CCC Camp Men Con tinue Sixth Day of At tempt at Recovery The body of John E. Stewart, formerly of Philadelphia, but more recently of Henderson coun ty, had not been recovered from the waters of Lake Lure, where he is thought to have drowned, at a late hour Tuesday. At that time Stewart had baen missing for one week. It is be lieved that he was drowned at an early hour Tuesday, June 26. Stewart, who was enrolled in the CCC camp at Lake Lure, was on the lake with two companions. According to the two men, he jumped from the boat about 1 o'clock Tuesday morning, June 26. Officers and members of the CCC camp have worked since his reported drowning in an effort to recover his body. About 75 men from the camp were on the lake all day yesterday. 1 158 Years Pass Since Independence Declared--Many Nations Ruled By Authority Set Up Since World War By NEA Strvica WASHINGTON, D. C.f July 4, 1934.—Today the United States of America celebrates its 158th birthday. And in the 158 years that have passed since that hot July of 1776 when Americans took their lives and fortunes in their hands and told the world they were cutting loose on their own, governments all over the world have come and gone. Today, America, accustomed to think of itself as a young nation, finds its government one of the oldest in the world. England, whose Parliament was first summoned in 1265, has eontinued down the years depending increasingly en that one ruling body—nearly 670 years. And for nearly 500 years before that she was grop ing toward representative gov ernment. So Britain gets the palm for age. Little Liechtenstein, which assumed its present form in 1719, is one of the few other governments that are older than our republic. OLD FORMS FALL Old countries, yes, far older than the United States. But time has rung changes in them all. China, often considered the cradle of the race and the old est civilization, became a re public only in 1912, and the present Nanking government was established only in 1928. Japan, ancient through her dynasty is (founded in COO B. C., legend says,) saw this power restored fo the throne only in 1868, when the Shogun power was overthrown. So the present empire is really only a youngster. Time-tempered Greece her self adopted a new constitution in 1927, giving one of the old est peoples one of the youngest of governments. WAR BRINGS CHANGES Spain and Portugal were an cient even when their explor ers came to help open the new continent ' of America, but Spain only three years ago came around to the republican form of government, over throwing one of the most an cient monarchies. And Portu gal's present constitution was adopted only last year, the youngest governmental baby of all. With the World war's end, a whole crop of new govern ments appeared on the scene, Russia, Germany, Turkey, Po land, Czechoslovakia, Danzig, Austria, Estonia, Latvia, Li thuania, Finland. All these to day have governments lees than 20 years old. We think of France as a sister republic dating from our own time, but it is not strictly so. The present French repub lic is the third, with revolu tionary breaks between them, and wag established only on the overthrow of Napoleon III* in 1870, making her only 64 years old govern mentally. NEW RULE IN ITALY Italy still operates nominally under the constitution she won in 1848, but received what amounts to p. new government when Mussolini's Blackshirts marched on Rome in 1923. Our nearest neighbors are both younger than we. Canada received her preseat form of government by royal procla mation in 1867. And Mexico, though she 'started off on her own in 1857, has had innumer able revolutions, and got her present constitution in 1917. Practically all our neighbors of South America won their independence in the middle of the last century, 60 years and more after the formation of the United States of America, and most of them have changed governments many times since. SWISS DATE ONLY TO 1874 Switzerland imme d i a t e 1 y comes to mind as on old and tried democracy, and it is true that the sturdy mountain peo ple have been in a continuous state of developing their de mocracy since 1291, a matter of 643 years. Yet their present (Continued on page two) City And Nation Are In Midst I Of Celebrating Glorious Fourth Hendersonville and Henderson county today joined with the na> tion in observing the 158th anni versary of the signing: of the Dec laration of Independence as a holiday.

HDENBURG'S FIGHT FOR Hi IS STUBBORN His Status Remains Doubt ful After Chancellor, > President Meet VON SCHLEICHER RITES HALT MYSTERIOUSLY BERLIN, July 4.— (UP).—^ Chancellor Hitler's campaign of extermination came to a full stop today, and he was apparently balked in his attempt to dispose of Vice Chancellor Franz Von Papon, friend of President Von Hindenburg.
