President Ball Plans
Are Being Made By i
Committee In County
Harold E. Kilpatrick of Brevard has
been appointed county chairman of the
president’s ball committee for Transyl
vania. and Mrs. J. E. Osborne chairman 1
at Rosman.
The annual affair will be given with
in a few weeks, date and place to be
announced later. Mr. Kilpatrick, in
announcing tentative plans for the ball
makes the following statement:
Somebory—nobody connected with the
white house, with politics, or with Mr.
Rosevelt—asked me the become chair
man of a committee to provide a fund
to fight Infantile paralysis In Transyl
vania County. There Is one slight re
action which Is both curious and un
usual. I find a very distinct resist
ance. It Is apparently based on the
fact that a program to finance a simi
lar fight started several years ago, with
a series of birthday balls celebrating
the president’s popularity. Funds col
lected above expenses provided money
to improve conditions at Warm Springs
and for medical research Into the as
yet undiscovered causes of this dis
ease.
I saw some of that and certainly ap
proved it, It wa sshowmanshlp In a
good cause. But what Is being tried
this year Is very different. It attempts
to set up a permanent fund to carry
the fight Into every county and make It
continuous. The main Idea Is, during
January to secure small contributions
from people who cannot afford to make
large ones. The effort Is completely
non-polttlcal and non-personal.
As has been mentioned here before,
the question of getting sufficient medi
cal attention for the poor by having
them contribute a little In the nature
of Insurance from day to day. In_ilic
hope of receiving medical aid when j
necessity comes, has become foremost
In national attention, I have seen this
popular demand growing constantly.
Resistance to It from the more con
servative groups of the medical profes
sion under the epithet, "socialized med
icine” seems as unwise as It Is unkind.
This new resistance against the drive
to provide some kind of clinical ser
vice for the piteous sufferers of In
fantile paralysis does not come from
the medical profession, but It seems
even more unkind. It Is made on the
ground that the effort Is too closely
personalized and tied up with the
President’s wel lknown suffering from
the same disease. The effort In Bre
vard and. aes I am told, everywhere,
will not be based on the circumstance
that the president was once a victim
of this disease or that the day of the
end of the drive happens to be his
birthday. It will be conducted on ex
actly the theory of the attempts to
provide funds to combat tuberculosis
and cancer. It has no POLITICAL or
personal aspect whatsoever.
New Year Event Very

The New Year was ushered In here
very orderly Sunday morning, with only

BUNCOMBE COUNTY
SEEKS LIQUOR LAW
Special Election Asked For
By Whiskey Interests
Around Asheville
Buncombe county will In all probab
ility hold an election within the next
few months to decide the question of
operating ABC liquor stores In Ashe
ville and the county.
Petitions requesting the special elec
tion have been circulated in Buncombe
for a week, and the parties in charge
state that they secured the required
number of names making it mandatory
upon the board of commissioners and
election board to call an election with
in less than a week’s time.
The petitions ask the county board
of elections to "call a special liquor
election for Buncombe county and
thereby submit to the oualifled voters
of said county the question of setting
up and operating In said county a liq
uor store, or stores, as provided in
chapter 49 of the public laws of 1937.”
C. S. Alley, taxi cab company man
ager, Is directing the distribution of
the petitions, and E. Zeph Roy, Ashe
ville attorney, is attorney for the group.
Under provisions of the 1937 act, a
special election on the question “shall
be called in such county by the board
of elections of such county only upon
the written request of the board of
county commissioners therein, or upon
a petition to said board of elections
signed by at. least 15 percent of the
registered voters In said county that
voted to sign the petitions. There were
82,674 votes cast in Buncombe county
for governor in 1938.
After the petitions have been pre
sented to the board of elections. It will
bo necessary for the board to verify the
names and qualifications of the sign
ers to vote.
In the event liquor stores should be
established in Buncombe county, the
profits would be split between the city
and county under provisions of a spec
ial act of the 1937 legislature. The
division of profits would be determined
by the city manager and chairman of
the county board of commissioners, but
in no event would the city "receive
less than 40 per cent,” under provi
sions of the state law.
Weather Prophets Say
Fine Climate Assured
For Next Four Months
Many there are In Transylvania
county who hold to the age-old belief
that the first twelve days of the New
Year each rule one month In the year.
If this ruling be true, then January,
February, March and April will be the
kind of weather that causes home-,
lovers to start puttering about the
flower garden, and the truck-growers
to get down seed catalogs and begin
planning just which vegetables shall
be planted where and when.
Another school hold that first twelve
days after Christmas make up the
ruling monthly calendar, and taking
this as true, July, August, September
and October will be hot, dry. and windy.
