PAGE TWO Strong Case Against Federal Relief Bill; Walcott Bill Reacts By <MUtUS T. iTEWABT ■ mrt—l rm HH« Writer Washington. Fab. 25.—Senator* who belpod to defeat the La Follette-Coe- Ugaa biU for X 70.000.000 of direct fed eral eel la# for the unemployed ooeld #wphdn their opposition to It mere caartacingly if moat of them had not voted for the Walcott bill, creating the Ibrooestraction Finance board to •ottmd 0.000.000.000 in relief to dis tressed corporations. Economically, the ca*e against the Ist Follett-Coetigan plan is strong. President Hoover and his congres sional spokesmen have contended from the beginning of the depression, as everyone knows, that each state ought to care for its own unemploy ed; net ask the federal government for aid. What the La Follette-Casti gan bill's supporters argued was that many states have spent ail the money they had, borrowed all they can bor row. end still there Is suffering; only the national treasury remains, to ap peal to. At least theoretically, this reason ing manifestly will not hold water. Wuppsae an atUapt were to be made to salae a fund of S4B by soliciting contributions of $1 each from a room ful of 48 individuals. And suppose, the hat being passed, that these indivi duals proved not to possess $1 apiece. Would it then be possible to raise the S4B nevertheless, by making the levy apply to the entire roomful, col (actively? Pooh!—of course. If America's 48 states really are at i the ead of thei rindividual resources. It naturally follows htat the Union, 1 which consists of them. Is at the end of Its resources also. It hardly requires saying that no such situation exists. The Union is not at the end of its resources, and neither are the indi- ; v*dua! states- any of them. To be sure, some of those which wasted the in pre-depresaion days of prosperity, are up to their Washington Program Given at Regular Meeting of Zeb Vance Parent-Teachers By BUSY SMITH. The regular monthly meeting of the Zab Vance Parent-Teacher Association wi' betd in the school auditorium on Monday evening. February 22. 1932. with a large attendance. The meeting was opened with pray er lad by Rev. C. L. Spencer. The sec retary called the roll and read the minutes of the last meeting. Hiss Fdireheth gave some very interesting facts ea Founders' Day. beginning with its organization. Miss Nelson al so read an article explaining the P. T. A. Alphabet. A free-will Founders' Day offering vu taken, which is to be sent to the State Treasurer. Prof A. R. Reep, stated that the Cocoa-Cola Bottling Works of Hen derson presented to Zeb Vance a pic ture of George Washington. Mr. Reep expressed his appreciation, in behalf of the .school, to the Cdto-Cola Bot tling Works. Mr. Reep reported an average attendance of 93.2 for the past month. Rev. C. L. Spencer, president, an nounced that a nominating committee will be elected at the next P. T. A. meeting He also announced that a met ting of the Building and Grounds Committee will be held in the near future, for the purpose of making plans to beautify the school grounds. Miss Alice White, assisted by other faculty members, sponsored a very in teresting program celebrating the bi centennial of the birthday of George Washington. This program included, a fa nee of the minuet by a group of ‘primary boys and girls; an oration. ''George Washington. Citisen and Pa ♦rlot. by Eidrege Singleton; and a -play, featuring the cutting of of cherry tree, and “Old Favorites’* aung by children imitating staves and piccaninnies of the old Washington homestead. It was announced that Prof. J. L. Memory .of Wake Forest College, will be present at our next P. T. A. meet ing. and will speak on the subject, “A/ter High School. What°“ We are very fortunate in securing Prof. Memory to bring this subject to ua. Everyone is cordially invited to come and hear this speech, and we eipe oiully invite members of other Parent- Teacher Associations of the county. HbJIATE HELP AT ZEB VANCE ON LAST WEDNESDAY A number of high school pupils par ticipated In a debate on last Wednes day held in the school auditorium, for the purpose of selecting four re prefmtatives to represent Zb Vanoe in the Ay cock Triangular Debate to be held on April 1. between Zeb Vance, Bethel Hill, and Middleburg high Inexpensive Prescription Gnarftnteed to End RheumatUm Tli—ada Joyfully astonished at swift 41 hoar relief.

In this fix. their citizens who are» out of jobs and destitute doubtless do need outside help. Still, it is not with a- very good grace that the representative* of these states re sent It when the representatives of thriftier states criticize them for their improvidence. ‘Thus opponents of the La Follette- Costlgan bill attacked the measure with considerable plausibility during the senate debate over it, pointing out that money for federal unemploy ment relief comes, after all, primarily from tbe same source as money for state relief, and insisting that the state governments are in a position to administer it more efficiently than the federal government. But, as previously remarked, how much better this argument would have sounded if it had not come from colons who had barely finished fUgad ing the stricken corporations' cause, for a $2,000,000,000 federal allowance! I even ventured to suggest it to one of them. “Ah, but there's a vast difference," he answered. “Tbe Let Foliette-Coetigan bill pro vided for tbe outright gift of federal funds for relief purposes. “Tbe $00,800,000 appropriated and tbe $1,500,000,000 represented by bonds authorized under tbe Walcott mea sure all will be returned into the United States treasury. That $2,000.- 088.008 simply is to be loaned on giit edged securities." On gilt-edged securities! And only the day after the La Fol lette-Goetigan bills defeat, records of the interstate commeice commission indicated a refusal by as competent a judge of securities as tbe firm of J. P. Morgan and company to concur in an extension of credit which evi dently met with the Reconstruction Finance board's approval. Congress veiled tbe reconstruction outfit’s ac tivities in secrecy but it neglected to muzzle the I. C. C. schools. The subject for debate is "Resolved: That the United States Should Adopt the System of Unemployment Inaur auce." Eldredge Singleton and Edwin Perkinson were chosen to uphold the affirmative side of ihe query and Avritte Sledge and W. H. Finch Jr., will defend the negative side. OTHERS’VIEWS NO FLIES IN HAVANA. To the Editor: Each winter when I come to Havana I am impressed by the same sact —the total absence of flies. I am sure it appeals to every American visitor to Havana at this season of the year, where he finds “inerno" (summer) which at home is synomous of flies. I say American advisedly, for the European traveller knows nothing of this pest in his native country. There is a little daily pamphlet here dillef “Who’s Who’’ wherenee one notes arrivals and departures of both gueete and their ships, likewise stock market quotations, ads in mer chandise, restaurants .the movies— horse races, and the nightly affairs Broadcast Makes Hit w r. .*>•• ••• , „„ ' ... 1 i ■ if; Wide praise has been showered upon Mr*.

DAILY DISPATCH- THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1932 ’ and dances at tbe large hotel*—but tbmw is on little slogan printed which •nay be found every day In exactly tfc* same place which says "No Flies On Us.” This Is apparent and striking at. once that here, In a city of seven hun dred thousand inhabitants, where sum mar prevails almost continuously dur ing the entire year, there Is not a fly to be seen not a screen. 1 have seen one fly swatter, it hangs in our room, perhaps from habit we fear to go where it is warm without one. Can we conceive of doing without screens at home or not being ever vigilant about them? We find k necessary to prepare in early spring, at least we prepare to keep him out of doors, he seems to be an educated Utile fel low hiding sometimes aU winter. Here the question arises almost daily why there is no necessity for screens and why at home we could not survive a single day without them. During the entire year here there are open air case’s, aide-walk res taurants as abroad, fruit, vegeetables, meats, fish and fowl on diaplay.in the open markets and not a single fly to be seen anywhere. Likewise there is not an exposed garbage can to be seen in the whole city. The garbage is put out on the exact arrival of the truck-disposed of immediately and the can taken Indoors. I am told that Cuba learned the necessity of strict sanitary regulations whereby she eradicated flics, mosquitoes, yellow fever and the like when our late Gen eral Leonard Wood was stationed here during our occupation after the Spanish-Americ&n War. We justly pride ourselves on our Inproved and modern methods of living, and the comforts, and sanitation in even the humble American home, but to me it seems that here is a case wher the pupil has surpassed his master. Why can we not eradicate the fly as com pletely as they have done here in the tropics where they have “enverno to dos tos ano” (summer ail the year). Let us begin early In our own good little town of Henderson, not to swat the fly but to ooonb&t him with the same weapons used by our late Gen- W*ed when ho taught them first to remove the cause and thereby make our little city as perfectly free of flies as he has made Havana.
