(UP) —Another liquor prohib i t i o n amendment will come, quicker than the last came and will stay forever, Dr. William L. Stidger, of Boston University's depart ment ofHomiletics, said yester day at national sessions of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. "Where before we fought alone, a thousand hosts will help us now. Our final goal is more than mere temperance," Dr. Stid-1 ger said. Declaring facts themselves < would bring aid to the dry cause, j he cited two points in support. 1. "The terrific increase in death rates due to drunken driv ing." 2. "The very disgust that many repeal voters themselves have over what has happened in: a year's trial of repeal." Dr. Stidger said deaths and ac-1 cidents attributable to drunken drivers had increased 100 per| cent in Rhode Island and up to j 479 per cent in Los Angeles, sincc repeal. He deplored feminine observ ance of the "cocktail hour." "We must not let the nation forget that, whereas we used to sneer at England because she per mitted women to drink in the English pubs and piously said 'that could never happen in America,' that it has happened. PARK-TO-PARK ROAD TO PASS NORTH OF CITY WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. Secretary of Interior Ickes announced this morning that the park-to-park highway from the Shenandoah to the Great Smoky mountains will be built along the route pro posed by the North Caroling delegation.

WALTER GARREN EXONORATED BY CONONER'S JURY IN DEATH OF EAST FLAT ROCK RESIDENT Does Not Testify; Pedes trians Tell of Wright's Accidental Injury A coroner's jury on Saturday afternoon held that James Thomas Wright, 51-year-old East Flat Rock man, who died on Monday morning at the Patton Memorial hospital as a result of injuries sustained when struck by the rear end of an automobile driven by Walter Garren, came to his daeth as a result of an unavoidable ac cident. The decision of the coroner's jury was not unanimous, four members of the jury favoring the unavoidable accident verdict, and two holding otherwise. However, in a coroner's inquest a majority decision is sufficient and the offi cial verdct of the inquest was un avoidable accident. The members of the jury were not polled individually by Coroner J. F. Brooks. Testimony of some eight or nine witnesses was offered at the in quest and testimony of the wit nesses was largely to the effect that Mr. Wright was walking along the highway toward East Flat Rock about two miles from Hendersonville, that Mr. Garren was driving toward Henderson ville, and that he had almost pass ed the walking: man when the lat ter fell into the rear of the car, and was struck by the right rear fender. His head struck the right rear glass breaking it out. Mr. Garren was not called to testify at the inquest and witnesses were people who were either in front or behind his car. Members of the jury had previously examined the scene of the accident and marks on the road made by the automobile. The accident occurred on Sat urday night, November 3. Mr. Wrijjht was taken to the hospital where he died on Monday morn ing about 7 o'clock. Funeral ser [ vices were held on Thursday and ! burial took place at Jonesville, S. C. MAINE'S LIQUOR BILL SIGNED ON SUNDAY I AUGUSTA, Me., Nov. 12. (UP) !

Statistics brought in by the teachers show that there are eight white and three colored teachers working with an enrollment of 291 white and 150 colored pupils. More than 20 classes are meet ing two or three times each week in 12 localities of the county and a wide range of subjects are be ing taught in these classes. A case of particular interest to the teachers was found in .the Rugby-Naples school, the case of a woman 33 years old who never had the opportunity to go beyond the third grade in school. Now she is enthusiastically studying geography, history and English. Her father, who is 63 years old and only attended school three ; months during his life is studying reading, writing and arithmetic.

Moser Tells Ex-service Men Warfare, Serious as World War, in Progress FIGHT FORlDEALISM IS HONOR TO DEAD Declaring that "we are engag ed in a warfare today just, as sig nificant, just as appalling, just as serious, and just as dangerous as the World war," the Rev. C. H. Moser, pastor of the First Meth odist church, last night delivered a strong message to ex-service men and a larsre congregation at the high school auditorium on the occasion of the American Le gion's annual memorial service for 'World war dead. Rev. Moser took his text from Corinthians 16:13, "Quit ye like men, Re strong," and from Mat thew 10:34, "I came not to bring peace, but a sword." "We have come here this eve- | ning," he said, "not necessarily to think of those 10 million men who fought to end war forever, but we come this evening to think of the millions of men who are in the ranks of the living to day. We honor those who died for a cause they held to be just and right, but we dishonor them if we fail to listen attentively as they tell us in unmistakable terms that there is a better way to serve justice and liberty than that of freely spilling the blood of the manhood of nations. To day from the dirt covered trench es and shell holes, from the silent graves of Europe we hear in clear tones the ringing message. "Quite yourselves like men. Be stroiig," _ .... He declared that the wariarc of today was not "one of bullets and shrapnel, but that in the present warfare we see shame abroad in the land, crime on ev ery hand, and that those leaders in thought and expression are sensing1 the presence of a danger ous enemy lurking within our midst, an enemy which calls for sterling, upright, fearless man hood to put down. "This is no time to talk peace, it is a time to talk war. God is calling for real manhood today. If it be true that civilization is emerging, then God needs real men to take charge of the situa tion. God is calling for cham pions. May we ever remember that the consecrated cause of truth and virtue is calling for champions today. "The cry of men wanted has been the crv that has verberated and reverberated throughout every nook and corner of the universe since history began.. There has ever been a sore scarc ity of real men. Surely we have reached the point in our civiliza tion where we should begin to produce real men. The crying need of the world today is men, men with pure hearts, men clad ! (Continued on page four) i RED CROSS TO j START 'DRIVE' Gov. Ehringhaus Gives En dorsement for Public Support President Thomas H. Franks, of the Henderson county Red Cross chapter, and chairman of the annual roll call campaign which will open in this county Wednesday, to continue through Thanksgiving, is in receipt of an endorsement of the roll call from Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus, in which he urges the general public "not to let the call go unheeded." Richard F. Allen, manager of the easter area, writes Mr. Franks that there "is every indication that the Red Cross membership in your state will show an in crease for the fifth successive year. Certainly our chapters have every right to be proud of this fine record." Governor Ehringhaus' endorse ment of the campaign, sent out recently from tho governor's of fice reads: "It is my understanding that the American Red Cross will, on November 11, begin its annual roll call drive for membership to continue until Thanksgiving day, and recognizing the peculiar worthiness of this appeal by an organization which has rendered such signal and humanitarian ser vice to the state and nation in both war and peace, I earnestly hope that our citizens will heed this call and make adequate re sponse to the appeal which it makes. The opportunity for par ticipation in such an enterprise comes but once a year let it not go unheeded." _ . LOOKING BACK 16 YEARS RIOTS IN PARIS, WAR RUMORS KEEP WORLD UNEASY DURING j 16TH ARMISTICE ANNIVERSARY Many Jailed in Austria^ German Dead in England Are Honored By UNITED PRESS Riots in Paris and war rumors in many quarters of *he globe kept the world uneasy in its 16th observance of Armistice day, end ing the World war in 1918. Police swinging clubs charged angry mobs in Paris during brief demonstrations there, chiefly by youths in the royalist, socialist, and communist organizations. Nu merous arrests were made by gen darmes, restoring quiet. In Austria, a socialist uprising was rumored, causing renewed anxiety in government quarters. Hundreds were thrown in jail. In Germany, the Armistice was not observed officially. Some wore mourning for a lost cause. In England, the king and queen led services at the Cenotaph, with members of the cabinet. For the first time since the war, wreaths were laid on the graves of Ger man fliers shot down during an air raid. In Belgium, King Leopold and Queen Astrid participated in the services, which passed off calmly. In the United States President Roosevelt led the nation's observ ance, visiting the tomb of the Un known Soldier. M. N. Orr Thanks ( People For Vote Appreciates Support of AH Regardless of Party Morris N. Orr, who was elected sheriff of the county on the Re publican ticket last Tuesday, to day extended his thanks to the voters and to those who worked for him in the campaign. "I wish to extend my thanks to all voters rejrardless of their party , affiliation," Mr. Orr said. "I also wish to assure all the people that I feel honored by the confidence expressed in me. "It will always be my purpose to exert all my efforts in the en forcement of law in a just man ner in Henderson county. I want all the people of the county to know that I stand ready at all times to serve them in any man ner possible. My office is open to all the people of the county at any time they may need my ser vices." ARREST 10 RIOTERS NARBONNE, France, Nov. 12. (UP). — Ten persons, including two women, were arrested yester day when violent rioting broke out before a monument to the nation's war dead. Socialists and communists clashed with war vet erans participating in the arm istice dav celebration. Gendarmes dispersed the mob. GERMANS DEAL BIG BLOW TO 11S. BUSINESS Reichsbank Ruling May, Squeeze Out Automobile and Film Trade / HERLIN, Nov. 12.—(UP).— American business in Germany was dealt a heavy blow today when the reich film chamber im posed a uniform import permit of $8000 on each foreign picture. Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer and Paramount are expected to be the hardest hit American, firms. I BERLIN, Nov. 12.—(UP).— An almost complete trade ^op page for many lines of foreign products looms as result of the reichbank's most recent refusal to meet foreign firms halfway, non-German commercial observ ers feared last night. To date automobile firms have been most directly hit, but the possibility is strong that like treatment may be accorded to any product so long as the pos sibility remains of producing a similar or substitute article with in the reich. European offices of American auto firms are faced with aban donment of the German market by their inability to obtain either foreign exchange! credit neces sary to import or a barter agree ment which will enable business to continue. One of most promi nent Austrian automobile manu facturers has withdrawn. Others are expected to follow. Business observers see in the latest reichbank standpoint and i its recent refusal to redeem in-! terest coupons on long term debts j at 40 per cent an attempt to' create pressure in the United States and perhaps in other coun tries for trade concessions which will enable Germany to export and in turn to buy the foreign products she needs. Newsprint Prices Will Be Boosted MONTREAL, Nov. 12. (UP)J Charles Vining, president of the i Canadian Newsprint Export as sociation, today forecast a gen eral increase in the price of news print after announcing Interna tional Paper company prices will j be advanced from $40 to $42.50 and $45 a ton in 1935, PARADE OPENS CELEBRATION IN COY TODAY i . Whitmire Tells Audience First Lesson of War Not Yet Learned . footballTboxing 1 FEATURE OBSERVANCE Led by Chief of Police Otis V. I Powers, as grand marshal, the American Legion this morning of ficially opened the celebration of Armistice Day with a parade. The< parade started from the county court house, proceeded up Main street to Eighth Avenue and on Eighth avenue to the high sch'al auditorium where a patrio tic service was held at 11 o'clock. Chief Powers led the parade followed by L. B. Prince and Whiltshire Griffith as marshals. Tb.e Erskine band, 30 strong, from Epskine College at Due West, was next in the line of march. • Headed by the colors, the Le gionnaires and ex-service men I were next in line of march. The J Boy Scouts followed, led by their [i own colors and standards, and "delegations from Blue Ridge ij School and the high school were next in line of march. ! Members of the Legion Auxili ary and the Gold Star Mothers followed in automobiles.. In spite of threatening skies the city this morning took on a holiday attire as Main street was decorated for the occasion. The observance will continue through the afternoon and evening with a football game this afternoon be twetn Blue Ridge and the Erskine freshmen, a boxing carnival to night at the high school gymna sium, and a dance at the Legion club house. At the service this morning at the auditorium R. L. Whitmiro was the principal speaker. Intro duction by Frank L. Fitzsimmons. Mr. Whtimire reviewed brief ly the events leading up to th<* World. War and to our own par ticipation in the great struggle, and 'delivered a stirring plea to his (hearers for an adequate prc plration for war in this country. How we created an army of nearly five million men in tin time required was a miracle, he said, and how the allies were abli to hold the enemy until we arriv ed in force is another miracle. He spoke in part as follows: "But the one lesson we should have learned from this war which we obviously did not is that we should be well prepared. Today we are not as well prepared as we were in 191'7 Eight months af ter our entry we had only ono hundred thousand troops in France. At the close of the war we did not have enough guns of our own make to equip one divi sion. We were using English rifles and French artillery. If we should be invaded we will not have the; British and French armies to hold the enemy until we can <*et readv. Certainly now that the rest of the world is "armed to the teeth" we should immediately proceed to build up our army and navy and air forces to give us sufficient strength to properly defend our selves in case of invasion. Then, too, a strong defense is the best insurance against war. "The American Legion not only# advocates a strong army and navy as one means of preventing war, but it, also, advocates what is known as the universal draft. It is a sad fact to relate, but there is ample evidence of the fact, that those who are to grain in a finan cial way are sometimes responsi ble for bringing- on war. There fore, we must take the profit out of war. If war should come again we must not only draft the »i:an power of the nation, but we must draft the wealth as well. A man's life is his greatest possession. If we cause him to give up his life in defense of his country, there is every reason to cause his more fortunate brother to surrender his wealth for the same purpose. If the universal draft becomes the settled policy of the nation then one very material causc of war has been eliminated. The Ameri can Legion is definitely commit ted to this policy. v "There are persons and organi zations in this country today who take the position that we ought not to take up arms even in de fense of our own country and they are even attempting to pledge young boys to this position. There is no place on American soil for such people and there is no room for the teachings of such doc trines. This is nothing short of treason and ought to be dealt with accordingly. It is not only un-American and unpatriotic, but it is breaking faith with thousands upon thousands' of rugged, patri otic Americans who sacrificed their lives and fortunes that we might have this great country for a home. Furthermore, if war (Continued on page four). ■
