we pause today in memory of Laura

with admiration and speechless
to a life of usefulness, love,
And devotion.

"Most recently, although with every
thought always for the benefit of out
chapter, she had not been active by
reason of her health. However, she
had every hope and it was her sincere
desire to again become active at the
beginning of the coming year. Her
hope to again become active cannot be
fulfilled. Last week, we learned with
sorrow that Laura Newsome O’Neil
had been called from this earth to a
rest eternal, Her departure, to us, was
sudden. Had her wishes been fulfilled
we know she would have told each of
us good-bye. If all her hopes had been
fulfilled, we know that she would
have told us of her regrets in not be
ing with us, as she had planned. If
her love and warm wishes of friend
ship had been fulfilled we know that
her thoughts are our thoughts, and
our deeds her deeds. Her presence and
ever helpful advice will be deeply
missed. Her passing we mourn, her
memory we cherish: Death is the veil
which those who live call life, they
sleep, and it is lifted."
Mrs. Gholson read the report of the
chapters which she gave at the dis
trict meeting.
Flowers had been sent to the sick,
magazines to the hospital and Scott

Miss Odie Dodson
Has Tough Time
On The Highway
Oxford, Dec. 13.—A motorist whose
daily work requires that she cope with
many emergencies, brought her own
self out of an emergency last Friday
night on the highway between Clarks
ville, Va., and Stovall.
The motorist was Miss Odie Dodson
superintendent of Maria Parham Hos
pital, Henderson.
Prompt response by Deputy Sheriff ;
L. J. Yancey and Deputy Louis Hut
son of Stovall, ended the frightful dis
tress of the motorist.
Miss Dodson, when officers re
sponded to her call from Bullock, de
clared that two or more men driving
a Plymouth, had repeatedly pulled to
the side of her car as she drove to
ward Oxford ejbout 8:30 o’clock, hut
each time had refused to pass when
she slowed her own machine.
At Bullock, Miss Dodson pulled to
the side of the road to permit the
other machine to go its way. How
ever, when she had down the
highway a short distance, the machine
was observed backed into a side-road
and as she came along, lights of the
parked car were flashed upon her
own.
At the moment, there was a car ap
proaching from the opposite direction,
so she swung to the right side of the
highway and made a complete turn
and followed the approaching car to
Bullock where she telephoned for of
ficers . '•
After arriving at Bullock, Mr.
Yancey learned the story of the lady’s
distress and then recalled that as he
drove toward Bullock, he had ob
served a parked car and a short dis
tance from this two men were using
a flash-light in a manner to indicate
they were searching for some lost ob
ject on the road. Upon their return
. io Oxford Mr. Yancey said there was
no indication of the whereabouts of
the sti-angers.
Officers Yancey and Hutson sug
gested that the men in the car might 1
have been the escaped convicts being
sought for the shooting of the sheriff
and police officer at Burlington last
Tuesday night. They were of the
opinion that they might have been
determined to rob the lady or pos
sibly take her car to aid their flight.
Mr. Yancey said her experience had
left Miss Dodson in a nervous state
xnd so he drove his own car to ac
company her to Henderson on the
highway.

'akia is Emil Hacha, a man appro
xriately named to face the music.

New York’s Youngsters Get Ready for Yule
Browsing through a New York department store to pick out what they’d like to ask Santa to bring them
for Christmas, these youngsters are fascinated by the displays. At the upper left a little fellow plays long
ingly with the pedal of a bicycle. It doesn’t matter this early in the day that it’s a girl’s bike. The little
miss at the Upper right fondles a doll, and at the lower left a young gentleman looks longingly at a train. The
little man at the lower right will undoubtedly find a toy auto at the foot of the tree, judging from the
expression on mama’s face. (Central Press)

Kaunas, Lithuania, Dec. 13.—(A)P) —
Nine persons were arrested today as

Nazi victory in Memel diet elections

considerable emergency power. Any
way it was legally voted by the

In two or three situations of stress
even our American Congress has been
rather profuse in its grants of dic

House. Besides, the grants to Daladier
have been only temporary in char

of having planned to establish total
itarian rule, as in Italy and Germany,
with himself as boss of it.
Imitating Mussolini?
It was in just that fashion that
Benito Mussolini became absolute in
Italy.
It was as a workingman’s cham
pion that he started his march on
(Rome during the disorganized days
just after the Wbrld War. Everyone
considered him a radical. Well, pos
sibly he was a radical but not a lib
eral one.
Adolf Hitler was 'a workingman,
too, initially.
That Jouhaux had the same motion
in the back of his cranium is a mat
ter of guesswork. Yet it’s obvious that
the French were afraid of him. Not
only was the public cold toward his
general strike program. The working
men also evidently were also —for they
didn’t strike in appi’eciable numbers.
The French government has a cer
tain advantage in these strike crises.
The country has universal military
service, with all its able bodied work
ers on the reserve list, subject to call
at any time. When its railroad men,
for instance,, threaten to strike, the
government summons them to the
colors. Then its says, “You, as soldiers
are assigned to run the railroads.” If
they don’t do it they’re military mu
tineers. Ditto as to other industries.
A man can strike quite readily as
a worker, yet hesitate to refuse mili
tai'y duty.
Jouhaux’s strike was called only for
24 hours, but the dope was that that
was only a beginning—'that demo
cratic government would collapse and
that Jouhaux would take it over.
Setback for Totalitarian.
The completeness of the Jouhaux
flop was wonderfully pi’omising for
democracy.

or Communistic) Britain ""
