According to hospital attaches last night the elder Copeland had received 75 to 100 shots from a 16-gauge gun in his right biceps, which would not result in a ser ious wound unless infection set in. The youth claimed his father came into the home in a drunken condition and attempted an at tack on his mother at which time he objected and the father grab- 1 bed at the borrowed firearm which the boy intended to use in hunt ing practice the next day. When the father followed the boy up the steps of the house he said he warned him the gun was cocked and the injury resulted when the gun went off accidental ly when the father threw a stick of wood at Wilbcrt. According to parties accompan ining. Clyde Copeland to the hos pital last night, the argument grew out of the fact that Wilbcrt was supposed to have drawn $3.50 for work in the cottom mill dur ing the past week, part of which he was to contribute to the house house expenses. When the father made demand for the part supposed to have been paid by Wibert, it was re ported that the boy retreated up the steps and shot the parent when he thought he was coming up after him. Army Officers Have New and Natty Uniform Washington, Oct. 9?'UP)? Some of the war department's most astute military tacticians, after months of tireless effort, came out tonight with a new three-in-one blue uniform for the well dressed officer during the 1936-37 social season. The announcement created the biggest stir in local fashion cir cles since Prof. Rexford G. Tug well let it be known he was think ing of dressing the resettlement administration's field agents in natty uniforms of green and brown?the pastures and fields : motif. That idea was dropped, as quietly as possible, soon after it was thought up. The war department, however, has approved the new uniform and any officer who wants the really latest style may buy and wear one beginning tomorrow. 1 The ensemble is described by the army's fashion writer as con sisting of "dark blue roll-collar ? coat and light blue trousers, ex actly like the trousers worn with the present blue dress uniform." < The beauty of the new outfit, according to the anonymous style expert, is that eventually it will i replace the present blue dress, full dress, and the social evening uni forms. By judicious selectiou of a tie, a belt, some gold shoulder loops, or a saber, the same uni form can be made to serve three different purposes, dress, full dress or social evening wear The Clenched Fist In France WITH fists hold high in tho Radical salute, here are members of the French Popular Front cheering Premier Blum after he addressed them at Poissy, France.

"And I am not going to take four years to do it."

"If the specter of inflation and bankruptcy is to be set at rest." he said, "a change of administra tion is absolutely imperative. "Election-eve rcpentence will not do.

SUi tmi I e/he<baf\jk curk *-* twc soda jcrke.r college training vs craftsmanship "I thought the depression was over and jobs were a little more plentiful now than they were a few years ago." It was the Soda Jcrkcr speak ing to his friend, the Bank Clerk. "'Well, aren't they?" asked the Bank Clerk, curiously. "It doesn't look so." answered the Soda Jerkcr. "Mr. Blank's son was just in here wanting to know if he could get a job sling ing soda here. He's a good kid, too, and lie went to college two years." "That's just the damned trouble right now," exploded the Bank Clerk. "College graduates, not trained for any particular profes sion or trade, can be hired for two dollars a dozen, but craftsmen at $30 or $40 per week arc as scarce as hen teeth. "I was talking to Charlie Griggs the other night. Charlie runs a small furniture factory. He has had more business recently than he has had in the past nine years. In fact, he has had more business than he can handle. He has been working night and day for weeks. He told me he had been trying for several weeks to find a good cabinet-maker or two, and that he had jobs that would pay from $30 to $40 a week open to one or two such fellows. "Dozens of parents right here in Elizabeth City send sons off to college who have no more business in college than they have in New Zealand. hoping that these worthy offspring may acquire knowledge that will enable them to get thru life without slaving as they (the fathers* have always done. And the sons leave college and come home and live on the old man. Whereas, if these same youths had been taught some useful trade, such as cabinet-making, printing or machine work, they probably would have no trouble at all in finding a job that would pay a decent salary. ' A young fellow who applies himself and really learns a trade need never go hungry, but thou sands of white collar youths never find steady employment. "The trouble is, the average young fellow today thinks he would be disgraced if he were to take up cabinet-making, machine work, or any other trade. Most of them would much rather draw $18 a week as a bank runner or filing clerk than earn $35 a week work ing for Charlie Griggs or the Eliz abeth City Iron Works and Sup ply Company. "The ranks of young men who arc worthwhile craftsmen arc woe fully thin, and the ranks of young men who have been to college and aren't worth a dried apple damn for anything are filled to over flowing. "The parents of today are to blame for this situation. If all parents whose sons are not par ticularly interested in or capable of learning law. medicine, ac counting or any of the other pro fessions calling for special train ing would take their sons as soon as they finish high school and put them to work as apprentices in some trade, there wouldn't be so many of them out of jobs or draw ing such small salaries." "Well, if you want to get the worst razzing you ever heard, you just shoot off your mouth along those lines at the high school com mencement exercises some time," observed the Soda Jerker. "Craftsmen stay employed most I of the time and draw fairly good pay. but they have to work?and j these young fellows todav don't j want, to work*" Short-Cut Mustn'tBe I) itched Highway Commission Hears From Local Delegation DEMANDACTION Wavnick Ordered to Wash ington to Confer With War Department The large delegation from this city and section which yesterday urged the State Highway & Pub lic Works Commission to term inate the long delay on the Cam dcn-Currituck short-cu^t project stirred up the Commission to the end that it directed its chairman. Capus M. Waynick. to go to Washington as soon as passible to confer with War Department of ficas on the matter. Confronted by a large delega tion. armed with facts, figures, records and arguments galore, the Highway Commission was quick to take this step which necessar ily must be tlie first step taken towards getting work started on the short-cut before Governor Ehringhaus goes out of office. Chairman Waynick was in structed to invite Congressman Lindsay Warren and members of the Albemarle delegation to ac company him to Washington. In Washington an attempt will be made to persuade the War De part mnet to revise its stated re quirements of a 1.500-foot straightaway approach and a 120 foot horizontal draw clearance for the bridge across North River tha lis an integral part of the short cut plans. The Highway Commission raighnclaimspointWasliteiminj -s claims that in order to meet War Department requirements, they would need approximately $100, 000 more than they have allocat ed for this project, and that it is impossible for them to raise that amount of money now or at any time in the near futre. The War Department so far has turned a deaf ear to requests to mitigate its demands, but an impiessive delegation headed by Chairman Waynick and Congress man Warren might be able to turn the trick. At least, such was the hope voiced at yesterday's hearing before the Highway Com mission on this matter. Ekins Due In Manila Early This Morning Balik Papan, Dutch Borneo, Saturday. Oct. 10? (UP)? H. R. Ekins, more than 4.500 miles a hcad of two rivals in a race a round the world, took off from this petroleum harbor at 7:20 a. m., <6:50 p. m. EST Friday) a board a regular royal Nether lands Indian airways plane to day and flew out across the strait of Macassar for Zamboanga en route to Manila. The Douglas airliner making a last survey flight before inaugu ration of regular service between Java and Manila, was due to ar rive in the Philippines capital be tween 4 and 5 p. m., (3-4 a. m. EST). Its route lay over Tarakan on the Celebes sea, across the Sulu Archipelago on the Sulu sea. From Zamboango Ekins hoped to continue across the Tanon strait to the island of Cebu and thence 500 miles northward over the islands of Negros, Panay and Mindoro to Manila. The entire flight was about 1,500 miles. Ekins arrived here late yester day aboard the Douglas from Batavia, Dutch Borneo. The plane took off after reports were received that a typhoon in the Philippine Islands had dissipated into the China sea.

(UP)?The French government tonight was faced with the ticklish problem cf keeping its Communist sup porters within the law with one hand and with the other, find ing proof of illegal activity of Col. Francois De La Rocque, Fascist leader, whose offices were raided yesterday. The government, in the midst of dealing with rightists as a di rect outgrowth of Communist meeting and counter-demonstra tion in Paris last Sunday, now faces an equally delicate task in Alsace-Lorraine. Communists at a belated celebration of an elec tion victory, announced that 120 meetings would be held through out the redeemed territory. The government had just an nounced prohibition of all meet ings, and was trying to keep its own Communist supporters from breaking the law. Meanwhile, it was learned that De La Rocque and the trans-At lantic flier, Jean Mermoz, will be notified tomorrow of their indict ment for reorganizing the out lawed Fascist League and for con voking their followers in an il legal demonstration. The indictments already have named De La Rocque and Mer moz in charges drawn up prior to the wholesale raids on their homes and offices of the French social party, but do not become effective until formal notification is given by the examining magis trate. De La Rocque told the press he was confident nothing would be found, although sources close to the investigators said the evid dence seemed sufficient to back up the indictments. The government tried to arbi trate with the Communists. Af ter conversations between Pre mier Leon Blum and the Com munisty deputy, Jacques Duclos, it was announced the Communists agreed to reduce the number of meetings in Alsace-Lorraine from 120 to 10, and assured that those attending would not parade the streets .insult Germany or sing the internationale. However, other Communist sources denied any such agree ment. As a result of the plan for the meetings, all big towns in the territory were placarded by right ists .indignantly protesting and announced counter demonstra tions for Monday at Mulhouse and other centers. manisTatally hurt at buxton Mantco, Oct. 9?Gertrude Bar nette, 52, fisherman of Buxton died here tonight as the result of an accident this morning at 8:00 o'clock when he was knocked from the running board of an au tomobile by a truck operated by the National Park Service at Buxton.

"When in 1933 this administra tion undertook to meet the des perate and long neglected needs of agriculture," he said, "we turn ed to the cooperative idea and called to Washington representa tives of the great cooperatives and other farm organizations to work out a program with us. ' "The triple A. itself had as its foundation and its essence the cooperative idea. Administered lo cally by community committees selected by the farmers themselves it was a picture of economic de mocracy in action. "This administration from the very start came to the support of the cooperative ideal by vigorous action and that support has con tinued. That support will continue. It established a control bank for cooperatives with 12 regional banks to aid in marketing and purchasing. "It held out the helping hand on credit to production credit as sociations to enable farmers to fi nance production through their own banks. "The triple A. has worked di rectly with the cooperatives in their marketing agreement pro gram. By loans to cooperatives we haev helped to bring the comforts of electricity to many farms of the nation. "We did not stop at merely lending money. When farm prices were threatened, the administra tion held them up by purchasing surplus products through farm cooperatives for distribution to hundreds of thousands of families faced with hunger in our great cities. Must Come From the People "Nevertheless while the gov ernment can help through its re sources, we in Washington have recognized that cooperation and cooperatives must come from the people themselves. Government can see to it that the rules of the game are fair as between coopera tive enterprise and other enter prise. But the initiative, the man agement itself, must spring from and carry on from the bottom ra ther than from the top down. "This administration is deter mined to continue in active sup port of the ever-growing farm co operative movement. i aiii nappy in uie sueiiijwicu ing of this movement at home. But let us remember that the same spirit of cooperation is an essential part of our relations with the other nations of the world. It is this realistic appreciation of the benefits of cooperation that lies behind our efforts to re-estab lish foreign markets for our farm products. "In the spring of 1933 our for eign trade had fallen off to about one-third of its former value. That was what I inherited. The very word "trade" means articles of commerce flowing in two directions. It is not a one way street. At least we understand this in our domestic trade. No sin gle state can produce either crops or merchandise and continue in definitely to sell them to other states for money alone. Eventual ly they have to be paid- for in oth er products. If We Sell We Must Buy "Foreign trade is just like that. There cannot be a revival of for eign exports without a revival of foreign imports unless of course we do as we did between 1920 and 1930 and lend our money to for eign nations to enable them to buy our own farm and industrial pro ducts. "But America has learned her lesson once and for all about that kind of frenzied finance." Death of James Swain James Swain, aged 56. died Fri day afternoon at Salem township.
