ASSOCIATED PRESS AND CENTRAL PRESS iSi Supervisor Rand Asks All Concerns Not Yet Re porting to Do So PRIVACY IS ASSURED Data Sought Is Purely for Business Purposes, Supervisor Says; Hopes to Have Figures Beady by July 1 William R. Rand, supervisor of the census of business, today announced that an effort is being made to fin ish the canvass in Henderson and en virons within the next few days. He asked that all business firms cooper ate by furnishing the necessary infor mation as quickly as possible. “We realize that some firms re quire more time than others in as sembling the information.” Mr. Rand said, “but it is imperative that the reports be sent to Philadelphia with out delay so that the statistics can be comniled issued by July.’’ “The timeliness of such statistics,” he added, “greatly enhances then value. More than 5.000.000 reports must be handled by the Bureau, and delay in Henderson delays the statis tics for the whole State.” “The inquiries have been made as simnlc as possible, he continued.’ to make the task of supplying the infor mation easv. and have been shaped to secure fact? that will be of mini mum value to business.” Mr. Rand declared that the census now beine - taken is a continuation of the regular business census work of +he Bureau of Census, and is for bus iness use. not for governmental pur poses. Its scone is the result of re quests from business organizations, and it has the full support of all branches of business. He reiterated previous assurances that all enumerators and other per sons connected with the census are under oath not to disclose or discuss any information submitted for census nu v poses. and that under the census law no access to individual reports is permitted, not even to ther govern mental. State or local agencies, and no information will be disclosed which would in any way reveal the facts or firnvps given in the returns. “The Census Bureau expects,” he said, “to publish the results for this State hv July 1 unless there is delay in obtaining the relatively few re ports still out. Since the first few .states reelased receive nationwide publicity, and comparisons with the •n-ovious census will show such a healthy increase in Henderson, we ; want nothing to delay the canvass here.” QUARTERLY MEETING CHRISTIAN CHURCH This evening at 7:30 o’clock there will be a nuarterly meeting of the First Christian church for the pur pose of transacting some important business.

NEGRO BOUND OVER ON ROBBERY COUNT Other Cases of Varied Na ture Heard Before May or Irvine Watkins William Henry Green, Negro, was bound over to the Vance County Su perior Court, when probably cause was found today in Municipal court, before Mayor Irvine B. Watkins to a charge of breaking and entering Hunter Turner’s store on East Rock Spring street and taking a quantity of merchandise therefrom. His bond was put at S7OO. While in jail, Green wrote a note to friends on the outside, requesting that they smuggle two hack saws into the jail to him in order that he might escape. Alert city police thwarted the attempt, intercepting the message and arresting Annie Smith, a Negro, who was a prisoner in the jail at the time Green was lodged there, but later liberated when her time expired. She was tried in court this morning and discharged. Other cases heard by the mayor were of a varied nature. W. H. Pulley and William Lane were tried on a charge of obtaining food at the Busy Bee Case and re fusing to pay for same. Prayer for judgment was continued in each in stance upon payment of costs and for the food. Wakefield Mowery pleaded not guilty to being drunk, and his case was nol prossed. Robert Bindon, Negro, was fined $2.50 and costs for assaulting and beating Junius Eaton. Peter Vass, Gladys Boone, and Ozella McKnight, all Negroes, were tried under seperate warrants for stealing lumber from a house on Flint Hill under the care of C. H. Lewin. Vass and Gladys Boone were dismissed; Ozella McKnight was or dered to pay $5 to Mr. Lewin for dam ages done. In a report of Monday’s session of Municipal court, Henry Hughes was reported as being guilty of stealing cigarettes from Henderson Grocery Co. It should have read that Hughes was charged with stealing five pack ages of cigarettes from Henderson Grocery Co., but upon the hearing of evidence, the warrant was amended to possessing of stolen goods. Pray er for judgment was continued for two years upon payment of. costs. OLD AGE PENSION MEET FOR DURHAM State Association To Gath er There on Next Fri day at Noon A 'Statewide meeting of the old age pension organization recently formed in Raleigh will he held in Durham on next Friday, February 28, at noon, it was learned here today, and repre sentatives from virtually all sections of the State are hoped for. C. F. Tankersley, Sr., of Henderson, who is head of the association in this county, plans to attend with possibly others from this county. The associa tion recently formed in Granville county is also to send probably two or more representatives, together with some from Warren, Halifax and other counties in this section. Announcement of the Durham meeting Friday says Dr. John T. Burrus, of High Point, former legis lator from Guilford county, will be among prominent citizens to address the meeting. It is also promised that some important questions are to be discussed and passed upon. A large number of counties in the State have formed local associations since the first Statewide meeting in Raleigh two months ago. The association aims at providing old age pensions for those 65 years of age and older, to be paid by the State to match payments by the Federal government. BAITY TO PASS ON SCHOOL EQUIPMENT Specifications for the furniture to go into the new Henderson high school and the new school quarters at North and South Henderson were taken to Chapel Hill today by Super intendent E. M. Rollins for the final approval of Dr. H. G. Baity, PWA supervisor for the State. After Dr. Baity gives his final approval, bicls will shortly be called for on this equipment, including the hundreds of desks that will be needed, and other furnishings. The PWA reserves to itself the right of approval of furnishings as well as of actual building construc tion, and for that reason the specifi cations had to be taken to Dr. Baity for his final approval. Congressmen Are Voting Both Ways (Contlrued from "rage One.) ing American preparations to fight? Well, American lawmakers have done it wholesale. NOT A NEW IDEA Their reasoning is that America must be ready to “defend its neu trality.” It is not a new idea that a coun try must be “loaded for hear” to in timidate bears into leaving it at peace Military men generally subscribe to this doctrine. Miilitary-minded civil ians do, too. And of course it is sub scribed to by producers and salesmen of military supplies. To me it seems that both logics are wrong. If a country is weak, it is imposed upon. If it is strong, its inclination is to prove it. ANY SOLUTION? The solution? I don’t believe there is any. Militarism naturally breeds strife. It is rampant in countries which know what they want to grab. Would be pacifistic countries are he posses sors of territory which tne grabbers want to grab, but which the prospec tive grabbees are determined not to surrender, even if they have to fight to defend it. A grab isn’t necessarily a direct grab. Italy, for example, wants Ethiopia, which is not, directly, taking any thing away from John Bull. Never theless, it is depriving the latter of the control of the headquarters of the Nile, which are essential, in turn, to Johnne’s control of all the fertility of the Nile basin. If Japan seeks to gobble north China —why! north China is not Am erican soil, but Japanese control of north China excludes American trade from that area.

Hickory Town Distillftig Co- Hanover, Pai Henderson Daily Dispatch Bis Will Move Next Monday to Prepare for Annual As sessments April 1 List-takers for the annual listing of property for 1936 will be provided for by the Vance Board of County Com missioners Monday at their monthly meeting for March, that being the regular time for the procedure. For the last several years, G. W. Adams, county accountant, has been designated as supervisor of tax list ing and he was asked by the commis sioners to make recommendations for list-takers in the nine townships of the county. His recommendations were then acted upon by the board, usually being affirmed in most in stances. Abstracts will be purchased and dis tributed during March to the list-tak ers, and they will probably have one or two meetings with the commis sioners before starting their work, so as to be thoroughly familiar with the procedure. Taxes will be listed during the month of April as of April 1 valua tions. That month is designated by State law as the time for making the assessments. - So far as was learned today, the making of provision for tax listings will be the chief matter to come be fore the commissioners at their March meeting Monday.

Flannagan was in charge of the program at the regular weekly meeting of the Rotary Club last even ing in the American Legion Hall, and presented T. S. Johnson, of Raleigh, former district governor, who spoke to the group on “Americanism.” The speaker elaborated on the pioneering spirit of Americans, tell ing how Americans, arrested by the order of the old regime, pushed out and onward as builders, founding, on this contnient a most powerful nation. He stated that Americans were for an orderly process of government, and, above all, were good neighbors. A thing of vital importance to the Rotary clubs, whose objective in boys’ work, was a thought left with them by an article by Judge Pless, favoring the formation of “First Offender’s Camp” over the State, where young boys would be detained for their first criminal offense, and not placed in the same prisons as the hardened criminals. E. F. Shaw, secretary of the club, was authorized to sign a petition and send a copy to the Governor of North Carolina and one to the State Prison commission. TWISDALE~GUILTY OF DRUNK DRIVING Elmus Twisdale was convicted at today’s session of recorder’s court be fore Recorder R. E. Clements of driv ing a motor vehicle while drunk, and was given 60 days on the roads, com mitment not to issue upon payment of a fine of SSO and costs, and not drive an automobile in the State for the next 12 months.

A landscape architect has already been employed to lay out the new sec tion and will probably have his plans ready to be turned over to city au thorities at an early date. A grant of some $12,000 was obtain ed several months ago from the WPA to finance the labor needed for the project, and very little of this has been expended thus far.
