WALTON LEAGUE PROTECTS GAME State Chapter Takes Steps to Conserve Game In Drouth and Fire Areas. Mr. Edward V. Mitchell had the following in Sunday's Greensboro News: "Under the direction of their president, David Lindsay, of Spin dale, Izaak Waltons of North Caro lina have been organized to conduct a drive on violators of the state game laws. "Information received from sev eral sections of the state indicates that the wild life of North Carolina is in desperate straits because of the long dry spell. Until the rain of the past week the entire out doors of the state was a veritable tinder box. "So great did the fire hazard be come that for a time it seemed the state game commission would have to order the hunting season curtail ed. However, this step was not re sorted to, but in the meantime for est fires continued to rage, and cut off the food supply of the inhabi tants of the wild. "Lakes, ponds and rivers which had afforded watering places for the wild animals were literally dried up and from Kinston came the report that many fish had been burned to death. Root and shrubs, that usu ally furnished the food for deer, bear and other animals, were de stroyed by the fires and the wild Hak wi BEST... If/* ■Vv POWDER 1 Double Tested,...

"Animals are no different from humans when the pangs of hunger overtake them and they take des perate chances in order to get foods. In the eastern section of the state deer fled in large num bers to thickly populated sections and literally were mowed down by citizens with guns in their hands — you wouldn't call them sportsmen. Real sportsmen of the section pro tested ruthless destruction, and the state game department gave its co- operation by instructing game war dsns to be on the lookout for the killers. "It was just such incidents as; these that prompted the head of the North Carolina Waltons to take steps to put a stop to stream pol-' luters, bag limit hogs, and preda-! Tory animals. Mr. Lindsay has ap pointed five committees, consisting of representatives in various sec- j tions of the state. Recently he t sent word to the members of each ! committee calling attention to the. fact that now was the time for. them to act. if they intended to fight the battle for the inhabitants ] of the wild. "Through a system presided over by five major officers, David Lind say, Spindale, president; J. B. "Mc- Coy, North Wilkesboro, vice presi dent of western section; H. K. Witherspoon, Raleigh, vice presi dent of central section; Dr. C. E. Minges, Rocky Mount, vice presi dent of eastern section and Ivy Cowan, Spindale, secretary-treasurer the Waltonian council of North Carolina operates." The numerous details of the or- ganization made it necessary to have five committees, viz: Public ity, Extension, Activity, Pollution and Legislation. WHAT PRESENT CONGRESS MAY DO Probabilities and Prospects of Present Session of Congress. Concensus of best information as to probabilities and prospects for the coming session of congress may be listed as follows: Organization: democrats will control the house by a narrow mar gin and Republicans the Senate, but only nominally. Hoover Moratorium: The first major work of the session will be to approve the President's action in suspending inter - govermental debts with some very vocal opposi tion. Taxation: The present revenue bill will be revised probably with some increases in the higher-income brackets and some new evercise or sales taxes. Other features are un certain. Soldiers Bonus: Agitation contin ues despite the state of the Treas ury and despite the stand of the American Legion against full bonus payment. If congress does pass a bonus bill, it probably will not be in sufficient strength to override a presidential veto. Tariff: Democrats will find diffi culty agreeing on a plan of action, and activity is likely to be confined to building the record of 1932 rath er than toward any real intention to pass major legislation. No Change In Farm Act. Agriculture: Except for clear un derstanding that further stabiliza tion operations are not to be at tempted, it is unlikely the Federal Farm Board or Federal Agricultur al Marketing Act will be disturbed in any essential features. The ex port debenture or stablization fee may be passed by congress, but the j president will likely veto the bill. Utilities: There will be much dis cussion, pointed to the presidential campaign next year, but new enact ments are so unlikely as to be al most out of the picture, with the exception of Muscle Shoals legisla tion, which seems to have a chance. Appropriations: Due to the state of the treasury and to democratic desire to establish an economy rec ord, the house, which originates the money bills, will co-operate with l the administration in holding down expendtures. World Court: So little present public interest is shown on this sub ject that it may be postponed. If a vote is taken, the chances are for American entrance. Some New Bank Bill Likely. Banking: Chances of some enact ment are steadily grwoing but have not yet reached the stage where prediction of final action can be made. There will be hearing and much discussion of banking reform. THE FOREST CITY (N. C.) COURIER A bill creating a system of mort gage discount banks probably will succeed, and the capital of federal land banks likely will be increased. Unemployment Insurance: There will be much discussion but little chance of real action. Prohibition: Practically no out look for a change through any con gressional action. Relief: There will "be much de mand for federal appropriations in various forms with results as yet un certain. Railroads and Transportation: Repeated failures to legislate on this subject would indicate no action soon. BOARD TO ACT ON BECK CASE Marion, Dec. 14. —When the state highway commission meets next Wednesday in Raleigh, W. W. Neal of Marion, member of the commis sion, will be there to use his influence in getting Lieut. R. H. Beck rein stated into the highway patrol of this state. Mr. Neal believes that Beck', who was relieved of duty af ter being convicted of fighting Ruth erfordton law officers several weeks ago, is worty of reinstatement even though he erred when he let him self be drawn into the fight. Mrs. Catherine O'Brien of Du luth, Minn., claimed that Thomas Kelly's dog bit her but her claim was disprovided when it was estab lished that the dog had lost all his teetm. Mile. Marie de Latour of Paris shot and killed her physician at Amiens because he kissed her.
