LEGION SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO OPEN ON APRIL 6th t The service campaign of the American Legion in North Carolina will be launched on Thursday, April 6, in commemoration of the declara tion of war with Germany five years ago. Final details in the big cam campaign are being worked out by the state membership committee under whose supervision the campaign is being conducted. It is the ambition of the department of North Carolina to reach every former service man and woman dur ing this campaign, which lasts ten nAWDP tion of which they may stand in ! need. It is believed that there yet remain many former soldiers who are in need of hospitalization, and who have valid claims for compensation men who are unabl to work and whose families are suffering as a result. And it is believed that many of these men are suffering either from some kind of nervous disorder which if taken in its earlier sages may be cur ed, or from tuberculosis, of which th-i-p has been a terrible amount s ric th war. But if the legion or any n'lnian auency " vo men any lasting good, it must be done at once. The longer these alignments remain untreated the harder jt will be o accomplish any lasting good. - So the legion has arranged a serv ice campaign, and into this campaign is throwing its very heart, backed by its membership of something over 8,000 in North Carolina, and by a host of good women who represent the American' Legion auxiliary, who always are to be found helping in any such fine work. Detailed plans for the campaign are being worked out to that extent that Chairman J. Will Pless, of Mar ion, of the committee, has announced that particular phases of the general work assigned to the various mem bers of his committee. His imme diate assistant will be S. S. Chandley, of Marshall, in general supervision ha wnnk. The Kev, 1. U. : ers, 01 nenaerson wm; -"p the legion, is to handle publicity for the campaign through the churches of the state. R: G. Cherry, of Gas tonia, has been assigned to handle publicity through fraternal organi zations, colleges and schools. T. is. Marsh, jr., of Salisbury, has been assigned as liaison officer with the American auxiliary, and Charles A. Sloane, editor of The Oteen Echo, the state legion publication, of Oteen, has been assigned to handle the newspaper publicity. Details of the work m the various districts will be largely in the hands of the district executive committee men, while the final plans will be in the hands of post officers and mem bers of the legion and officers and members of the legion auxiliary in every part of the state. GREAT MANY STOP. OVER VISITORS HERE - v 1 .i.A .han am (IT We see a great many strangers among the Hendersonville. population this week, many of these are en route to their homes norh and west, stopping off here for a few days on the home going trip from Florida. THE SELF-HAZER The young man walked down the street one shoe off and .his eoat turn ed inside out. A policeman stopped him. -r "i y" What's the idea?',' he demanded. . 'Well, you see, it's thfo way," re plied the young-man. y'Tra taking A emrse at a correspondence" school and y- rdsy those dan t vojnares i r Hon. W. C Rector Criticbes Meat Ordinance Declaring it Unjust To Ihe Fanner, J :.L- r To the Editor of The Times: Since my "article, explaining the provisions of the ordinance recently passed prohibiting the marketing of ' muttop, beef or pork, in .Henderson ville, ws 'published ' in your paper ; last week,, many people of the- town as well as the country, have stated to me, and I have no doubt, they have stated to you also, that such an ordinance would work a great hard ship dpon the people of both town and 'country, -especially the poorer classes of people, and ought to be speedily repealed. t This ordinance prohibits a farmer from selling his mutton, pork or beef in the town of Hendersonville, -unless he comes in and makes affi davit that the animal from which ' said beef, pork or mutton was made, was of his own raising and was :. least fifteen months old at the time Lj it was butchered.' And every thnejh' desires to sell a piece of meat'tfff va' ' sort, he must make the affidavit and, " 1 apply for and obtain a license to do so, and pay a dollar for such-license: Is this not denying to the farmer the privilege of marketing his meat at the only place the greatvmajority of them have to market itt And the next thing you hear of they will be wanting to tax the country people every time they bring a load of po tatoes, apples, produce, chickens or eggs to town. Yes, if this thing goes on, it will be so before long, that people from the country cannot come into the town of Henderson ville, without paying a license to do so. The plight of the farmer in Hen derson couty is indeed pitiable, and to slap him in the face with an or dinance like that described above, is almost unbearable. The farmer is compelled to sell his products at lower prices than last year the peak of the waye of business depression and the prin cipal items necessary for him to use on his farm, have not declined in . t price in proportion to the prices h3 gets for what he has to sell . 1 The statements of statisticians "s on the rocks of financial stress, be cause of the mosf precipitate ana demoralizing plunge taken by prices of the products of the farm. Some other things have dropped in price, but the farmer's products has hit bottom the hardest of all, and are still sticking fast to the bottom rocks. The apparent lack of interest on the part of the town people toward farm affairs and welfare is appalling. The farmers are becoming heavily involved to federal land banks and otherwise, and are finding it hard to secure enough money for food and clothing, not to mention taxes and the equipment for producing the city food supply. This has not been real ized and appreciated by many. It is high time the farmer was being given a little consideration instead of being legislated against by every law-making body in the land, from a board of town commis sioners to the national congress I see the merchants of the town through the advertisement of their Golden Rule Sale, are inviting the cooperation of the farmer, and offer ing to sell at public auction, such articles as he has for sale, without charge. But such an ordinance as that passed recently by the town au thorities, vetoes everything the mer chants are trying to do to help the farmer. Merchants, lawyers, doctors and everybody else should demand a speedy repeal of the ordinance in question, especially that part of it that forbids farmers to sell meats of their own raising, and which re quires them to get a license every time they want to sell a ham or other piece of meat in the City of Hen- , dersonville.
