Plotting Moon's Eclipse Nov. 7 Mother Earth, whose swal^j and sweethearts cherish the light of | the moon as an accomaniment to sighs and simpers, will cast her j shadow over the moon in the late afternoon hours of November 7. The eclipse, effected by the earth's coming: between the sun and the moon, will begin at 4:45 p. m. eastern standard time. The dia gram above shows the tinfe of the moon's entrance and departure from the shadow of the earth. Beginning of the eclipse will be partly visible at Washington and its final stage will be visible throughout North America, except the extreme western and nosth western parts. HIGH SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ARE EXPANDED; 69 MORE STUDENTS ENROLLED THAN LAST YEAR Moon's Eclipse Visible Here At 6 To 7 OXlock Scientists'It 1CeWif•ork, W Fly Four Miles up to See Phenomenon # ^ NEW YORK, Nov. 7. (UP) — Scientists will go nearly four miles into the air today to make observations on one of the rarest of all heavenly phenomena—a to tal eclipse of the moon in broad daylight. The scientific party, headed by Dr. William H. Barton, Jr., of the Hayden planetarium, will make the trip in a TWA transport plane flying 18,000 feet above (New York City. The daylight eclipse is remark able because an eclipse, caused by the shadow cast by the earth, occurs when the earth is on a di rect line between the sun and moon. The refraction of light in the j earth's atmosphere is so power ful, however, that the moon can be seen rising in the east in the area of shadow while the sun is still visible setting in the west, due to the "bend" in refracted light from the sun. This will be true only for- a narrow strip about 200 miles wide along the Atlantic coast, where the eclipse will occur at !4:45 p. m., EST, five minutes be fore sunset. The rest of the coun try will see the eclipse after dark. Dr. W. E. Broazeaic, astrono mer, today pointed out that there is about forty minutes difference between New York and Hender sonville time, both Eastern Stand ard. He stated that the moon will rise here this afternoon at 5:28' o'clock, and that the period of to tal eclipse will end here at 6:08 p. m. "The best time to see the eclipse here," he said, "will be be tween six and seven o'clock. The moon will be entirely clear of the shadow at 7:12 o'clock, local time." ASmfJEW MS NAZI Pole Assaults Member of German Envoy's Staff at Paris PARIS, Nov. 7. (UP)— A young Polish Jew, angered by the depor tation of Polish Jews from Ger many, today shot and seriously 1 wounded a member of the Ger man embassy staff. Herschel Grynsztan, age 17, entered the embassy and demand ed to see the ambassador, appar ently seeking to assassinate him. The ambassador's secretery, Ernst Von Rath, refused to per mit the interview, whereupon Giynsztan drew a revolver and fired two shots. He was captured by embassy guards. Honor Roll for First Six Weeks Grading Period There Released An increase of about sixty stu-! dents in the enrollment over last year, general expansion of the j . in high and* an - effort to reach those not in school but who would like additional bus-1 iness training, are among the for-! ward steps already indicated for the current year with that insti tution by Principal L. K. Singley, in a general review of school af fairs, which is coupled for the honor roll for the first six weeks' grading period there. The metal shop work, Mr. Sing ley states, is proving so attrac- [ tive to the boys that it is not pos sible to provide training in it for all who would take the course. Although slightly low in the number of books required, the hiffh school library ranks sixth an.onjr the high school libraries of the s,.ote in all other respects. Mr. Si.'crley's survey of school affairs and conditions follows: "Our enrollment for the school year 1938-39 exceeds that of last year by about sixty students. The course of study which we now are offering, we think, is t.:e explan ation for the larger enrollment.

We are also attracting some students who are planning to no to college and who desire a better founda-1 tion and who wish to attend a nine months school. "Our commercial department is especially attractive to students who wish to enter the business field. At the present time we arc offering first and second year typing, bookkeeping, and two years shorthand, and a new course called general business, which covers the entire field of business in an elementary way. This particular course is proving unusually popular. We are mak ing an effort to contact the of fices in town who may desire stu dent help in the afternoon after school in an effort to provide training for the student, as well as to assist the business office making the request. We invite in quiries relative to this phase of our commercial program. "The metal shop is in its sec ond year of operation and is proving very popular with the boys, so much so, that we are not abfe to provide training for all who request it. Several of the boys who finished last year have secured work in this field. "Upon a recent visit of the state library supervisor we were informed that our library is rank ed among the six highest in the state in regard to equipment, ap pearance, and the other features which are generally considered in grading a library, although we were slightly low on number of books recommended. HOME ECONOMICS COURSE ADDS YEAR "In the home economics de partment we have included a fourth year. A course of study for this extra year's work has been worked out by the teacher in charge and has been passed on by the tsate department of home economics.

TO DEFEND TWO AMERICAS, WELLES WARNS Preparing to Cope With A!1 Foreign Agression in Western Hemisphere SOLIDARITY":OR AMERICANS URGED j WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. (UP) Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles warned the world last night that the United States had em barked on a rearmament program to assure itself adequate defense against any foreign aggression in the western hemisphere. In a special broadcast to Latin-, America, rebroadcast in this coun try, he reaffirmed the principles of the Monroe Doctrine and said that the United States was keep ing its powder dry "to be pre pared to join with our fellow de mocracies of the new world in preserving the western hemisphere safe from any threat of attack." The address, delivered as one of the regular weekly series of inter-American broadcasts design ed to ccuntertact German, Italian and Japanese propaganda similar ly disseminated in South America, was the first public exposition by a state department official of the American defense policy covering the entire western hemisphere. Indicating that the United States did not expect world peace; to continue if maintained on the; present h»»isr W«Ues> treaty revisiins and international; adjustments should be made "in a spirit of equity rather than by use of force or the threat of force." ne caiiea upon me c. j. nmui can republics to mantain "con tinued solidarity" in order to save "not only the physical integrity of the nations of the new world, but the security of the individual rights and liberties*of our citi zens." The declaration generally; was interpreted here to cover Can ada as well as Latin-America. The address coincided with the speeding of American military and naval plans to strengthen the na tion's defenses with air and sea power as well as the coordination of various industries to permit facile mass production of muni tions and supplies in event of war. Paying tribute to the "good neighbor" policy and to the trend toward increased co-operation among the new world democra cies. Welles said: "The world situation of today makes it necessary as never be fore that there should not exist | between the American republics r.ny shadow of misunderstanding or suspicion in their common re lations •'We are fully alive to the nat.-| ural ties «<nd mutual interests ex isting among the American repub lics and we ore making every ef fort to strengthen those ties and to develop those ;nterests.

The court passed over cases in volving powers of the NLRB, Kan sas City Stockyards rate litiga tion and the issue of whether the proposed Child Labor amendment to the federal constitution is still subject to ratification.

In keeping with the custom of former years, the holiday closing is an act 01 co-operauon witn xne American Legion, which annually sponsors a patriotic program, as well as an expression of patriotic spirit by the business people them selves.

MARVEL HASTINGS—nayy wife. She faced the test of be ing a good sailor. CHAPTER I Judy Alcott stood by the chain rail of the huge battle wagon, looking down at the black water. The deck was solid under her feet. Overhead, there were stairs in a deep blue sky. From the open butterfly hatch over the wardroom, the sound of a piano stole softly into the night air. She was a small, slim girl. She wore a new evening dress, from which her shoulders rose white and lovely. Beside her, a I tall young: man in the blue of a naval lieutenant, with wings on his br>ast, was looking down at her. / nd she knew that he found hei beautiful, and she knew that \his was why—para doxically entugh—he was quar reling with ier.

Linn Galls for Rededi ication to Principles for Which Men Died SAYS DEMOCRACY, CHRISTIANITY LINKED "It is only through an under •' standing of the value of human personality that we are able to appreciate and realize the price paid for our liberty," the Rev. J. Arthur Linn, pastor of fGrace Lutheran church, told the con gregation at the high school audi torium last night. The occasion was the annual 1 mtmorial service, held each year undei the sponsorship of the American Legion. Rev. Linn spoke on "The Value of Human Personality," taking his text from the sixth chapter of St. Matthew: "How much then is . a man of more value than a sheep." He said in part: "Christ's own answer to this (juestion would have been that a man was infinitely of more value, i This seems to go to the heart of a memorial service. It is only this appreciation and realization of the j price paid for our liberty that ; shows its real value. "In the present stage of the world, it may at some time be necessary in the defense of hu man liberty that men be sent out to give, their lives in battle. I "Human personality must not be cheapened. It is only as we ! view our liberty in terms of hu i man personality that we know its realvalue. "ine vaiue 01 numan personai ity also goes to the heart of a me morial service because the hope of the future world depends upon a realization of its value. "Great efforts have been made since the last war to preserve peace. In these efforts we have ; depended upon human efforts. , We have underestimated the value of the human soul. We have been driven back in sheer desperation to Christ and to share the convic 1 tion that there must be a world regeneration; a world regenera tion brought about by the regen eration of the individual souls one at a time. The hope of the world lies in the progress of Christian ity ir. which men are born again and which is the foundation of an 1 abideing peace. "A memorial service should honor the heroic dead, but it should be made an occasion on which we, the living, renew and rededicate ourselves to the achievement of those ends for which they died. "We honor the dead, not for their achievements, but for the sacrifice they made toward that end. "The finest in Christianity can be achieved only in a democracy and democracy can survive only with the support of Christianity. "The totalatarian states must merge the human personality into the state." He concluded his sermon with the AVords of Lincoln's Gettysburg address: "It is for us, the living, rather (Continued on page four) County Teachers Plan To Observe Education Week Program Will Mark First Session of Class Room Teachers' Unit The Hendersonville county unit of classroom teachers will hold its initial meeting of the year at the Edneyville school on Thursday, Nov. 10. at 3 p. m.

Farley of the Democratic Na tional committee that there would be "another Democratic sweep" on Tuesday high-lighted the clos ing hours of the 11)38 election campaign. Other developments: Works Progress Administrator Harry L. Hopkins reported to the President that Democratic candi dates would win in California and Michigan. He forecast the defeat of California's "har.i-and-egg" pension scheme. A gubernatorial poll conducted by the New York Daily News, which is supporting Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, Democrat, showed Lehman trailing his Republican opponent, Thomas E. Dewey. Farley predicted Lehman would win by at least 250,000. Chair man William S. Murray of the | New York Republican state com mittee said Dewey would win with a plurality of 268,000. Reports indicated the guberna torial race in Michigan between Gov. Frank Murphy, New Deal (Continued on page three) ORGANIZATION NIGHT MARKS RALLY OF G.0P. Jake Newell Addresses 500 Republicans in Closing Meeting Republicans of Henderson coun ty closed their campaign for votes in Tuesday's election with Organ ization Night, a rally held at the county court house, attended by between four and five hundred en thusiastic supporters. Speakers at the rally attacked the national New Deal policies of the Roosevelt administration and urged voters to support the Hen derson county Republican ticket, which they declared to be com posed of capable, experienced business men. The principal speaker on the occasion was Jake F.» Newell, of Charlotte, veteran North Carolina Republican leader, and chairman | of the State Republican executive i committee. 1 At the outset of his address, Mr. Newell declared that he had no quarrel with the Democratic party, but he declared that the Democratic party was dead. It was not killed by the Republican party, he said, but was slain in the house of its friends by men who professed to be Democrats. The New Deal, he said, is a cadaver clothed in the garments of the Democratic party. If the American system of gov ernment is to be saved, he said, it must be saved by both Republicans and Democrats. The New Deal started in 1932 by writing a platform, he said, but only one plank of that program was carried out: the repeal of the 18th Amendment. The New Deal platform, he said, promised a 25 per cent reduction in governmental operating ex penses, but had increased such ex penses by 400«per cent; a reduc tion of federal employes was Bromised. but he declared that the istrict of Columbia and half of the State of Maryland had been filled by federal employes. He scored efforts of the New Deal to control agricultural pro duction and declared that it was blasphemy to destroy the bounty given by Divine Providence. If the American people surren der their liberties for security they will give up not only their liberty but their security as well, he said. Attacking New Deal spending, he declared that the national debt had reached 40 billion dollars. He was pessimistic about ever paying this debt off, but declared that it might be retired if people were allowed to work. But, he declared, the New Deal is trying to teach people that they can make money without working. Through tremendous govern mental spending the New Deal is not only spending the money of the people, he said, but is also using these tremendous expendi (Continued on page three) BOTH PARTIES SEE VICTORY ELECTION EVE Senator Reynolds Here This Afternoon to Con clude Campaign REDDEN AND PACE ISSUE STATEMENTS Climaxing a political campaign which got off to a late start, but increased to fever heat in the final week, Henderson county voters will go to the polls tomorrow to name a number of county, state and federal officials, and ballot on two constitutional amendment questions. Both M. M. Redden, chairmay of the county Democratic execu tive committee, and Jas. J. Pacc, chairman of the Republican com mittee, issued pre-election state ments in which they predicted vic tory for their respective parties at the polls tomorrow. Chairman L. T. Dermid. of thn county board of elections, an nounced that the voting places would open at 7 a. m. and clot* at 5:28 p. m., sundown. A large vote for the off-year election is expected to be cast in this county. Republicans closed their cam paign with a rally on Saturday night, at which time Jake F. New ell, chairman of the state execu tive committee, spoke; and Demo crats will close their activities this afternoon at 2 o'clock with a rally and address by Senator Robert R. Reynolds, of Asheville. Predicting that the Democrats would win at the polls, Mr. Red den took the occasion to answer critics of the Democratic county administration, particularly Brownlow Jackson. candidate for the general aaeembly. "I have nothing U say regard ing Mr. Jackson as a man/' he said, "but as a politician he held office for nearly 25 years. Now he objects to Democrats holding of fice for eight years. "He says the present county commissioners should be defeated because of extravagance. The present county attorney is paid a salary of $75 per month and a flat fee of |2.50 for bringing tax suits. The total cost to tne tax payer per suit is |6. When Re publican commissioners were in i office, the Republican county at 1 torney received $100 per month and from $5 to $50 per tax suit. The total cost to taxpayers some times amounted to $75. "Until recently," he said, "Mr. Jackson did not complain at the operation of county government by the present administration. However, not long ago he became | interested in property in the city which was valued at $40,000 for j taxes. He'requested the present commissioners to reduce this to $25,000 and place the remainder on other citizens of the county, which they declined to do. "About eight years ago," Mr. Redden said, "when Republican leaders picked out a few friends, including some of Mr. Jackson's relatives, and did not advertise their property or sue them for de linquent taxes, the county lost (Continued on page four) IHESMARDS MEET TONIGHT Camack Will Meet Board; Reception (or Pastor and Wife Friday Stewards of the First Methodist church will hold their first meet ing of the new conference year at, 7:30 o'clock tonight in Randall Hut.
