If Canada will not honor our requi

In line with its progressive policy
and with the idea of overlooking noth
ing that will tend to safeguard its
depositors, the First National Bank
is this week installing the most mod
ern electric vault alarm and day
light protective system developed by
present day science.
Not only does this system protect
the vault against the most intricate
attacks by means of tools and ex
plosives, but it also incorporates i
patented electro thermostratic plate
lining which gives positive protection
against the use of the oxy-acetylene
flame.
The First National's alarm system
will be operated from a control cab
inet placed inside the vault, and the
controlling mechanism tjhere'fiore
cannot be reached except by first at
tacking the outside of the vault,
which causes the alarm to respond
instantly and thus defeats the yegg s
attack before it is started. The
cables connecting the gongs to the
vault operate :on what are technical
ly known us closed circuits, and these
cannot be cut without releasing the
alarm. It is impossible even to pen
etrate any part of the vault construct
ion without interfering with the el
ectric current and releasing the gong.
In fact to even touch one of the
combination knobs or bolts after the
vault is closed in the evening will
set off the clamor of the big gong.
In connection with the vault pro
tection, a daylight hold up alarm
system is being installed, covering
the whole banking room, and so ar
ranged that in the event of a day
light raid or hold up, any one of the
bank emp.toyees could set off the
alarm without ever moving, so Tar
as anyone of the robbers or hold-up
men could sec.
The same system now being install
ed by the First National has been
adopted by the Treasury Department
of the United States, and is also in
use in many of the largest and most
progressive banks throughout the
country, not one of which hasever
been successfully attacked by robbers
or hold up men.
The big First National vault is mod
ern and burglar proof without the
new alarm system, but it is the pol
icy of the officers and directors . of
the institution to spare nothing that
will add to its further protection,
and in the new systetm they have
guarded against the possibility of
damage to the expensive equipment
now used to safeguard the 'i)unds en
trusted to its cai'e.

Chicago, Feb. 24. "!It is unfair
for any one to think of illiterates
as ignorant," Dr. A. E. Winship of
Boston told delegates attend the il
literacy conference of middle west
today.
"Every illiterate of the mountains
of Kentucky and Tennessee and the
Carolinas was better skilled to shoot
and dodge shots in the world war
than United States senators and Uni
versity presidents," he said. "Ev
ery one of them was worth more to
the army than their critics.
"The keynote was struck when it
was said they could not write their
families and i'fi they could their
families could not read their letters
"On the mountains on the east of
Kentucky and Tennessee and on, the
west of the Carolinas there have been
as good native brains as in Wal
Street, Harvard Yale and Prince

"The mountains have been full of
men of pure blood brains. Philadel
phia and Chicago, New York and
San Francisco have been as illiter
ate to the brain messages of moun
taineers as they are to the Sunday
school syndicate lessons of William
Jennings Bryan.
"The mountaineers can teach grad

to learn. The outside world needs to
have these native illiterate adults
learned, so they can teach the out

inis organization, apesking simply
and directly. Mr. Turner showed how
Rotary by appropriatinjr the funda
mentals oi me not originating-
them had tried to supply them in
every day oractiee m order to make
the community and the world bet
It was the most whc'Iesome t?.lk th
club hao? ever heard, and the seventi
district governor won the hearts o
all.
The occasion of the celebration wa:
a dinner at Hotel Huffry a good
dinner too at which members of th
club and about 50 guests, mostly
from Lenoir, enjoyed some good sir
ing, laughed at a stunt the honoi
guest put over and thrilled at the
message he brought. He was pre
sented by President Watt Shuford
Rev. W. Oscar Goode sketched brief
ly the organization c'f the Hickor.
club.'
Guests of the club were asked to
stand, give their names, ages and
occupations sind the answers caused
merriment, especially when the girls
arose. O Joe Howard told why ht
took the Rotary wheels out of Rev
Sam B. Stroup's head at Charlo'tte
and Watt Shuford said that Georgf
Lyerly would provide a car for Nei'
Clark's benefit during the conventior
at Winston-Salem next Month. Mr
Clark has not missed a meeting an:
will go as the guest of the club.
Discussing Rotary, Mr. Turner said
that the ladies could help it a whoit
lot. He told of 50 percenters, and
said that men were half Hotarians
sometimes because their wives Wert
not interested. He declared that Ro
tary was no panacea, brought no ney
ideas into the world, had no secrets
but merely takes plain old-fashioned
and homely laws and applies them.
Then he went on to shew that there
is a reason for calling men by their
first names. He said Dr. Howard
Rondthaler of Winstn-Salem toid
him that outside of his family there
were no't half a dozen persons in his
home town who called him Howard.
Now 50 Rotarians do that, and it
warmed his blood. Then he told how
an Oklahoma club discovered that it
could keep boys in "the" high "school
by showing interest and last year
Rotary clubs throughout the coun
try were instrumental in getting 25,
000 boys to stay in school, many of
them going to college.
In this connection, Mr. Turner said
that we don't know how children
cherish words in passing. He related
the work of the Norfolk and Rich
mond clubs and told how in Norfolk
since Rotary had got busy juvenile
delinquency practically disappeared
The boys fc'und something better tf
interest them. He illustrated the vs.1
ue of kindness to children with ar
incident from "David Harum," in
which David paid off a debt to the
widow of the man who carried him
to the circus. That's humanity.
Mr. Turner emphasized his mes
sage with striking bits of verse an.i
poetry at random and by quoting
men well known in the state. Jrie
quoted the Rev. W. A. Lambeth c'f
Hisrh Point, an effective speaker, ane
one of the finest men in the land;
He nut the name of George Marsh ot
Raleigh, "a prince," the speaker call
ed him, first on his list of men who
ive and love Rotary. Mr. Marsh, dj
the way, spent a year in Hickory.
Then he named Cel. Fred A. Olds
who has done more kind deeds than
nnv other man in Raleieh: Ed B
Crow, banker of Raleigh and H. H.
Brrmley, another well known man
were mentioned. Rotary lives on ser
vice and when men get that into their
system they are Rotarians.
Music and stunts are good. Every
body likes to sing and it is good to
grin and laugh, uroucnes exenangee
for grins that s Rotary. To get s
friend is to be a friend was another
striking thought of the speaker. Tc
make our living fairly and squarely,
to apply the Golden Rule in business,
to cooperate in gc'od things, to real
ize that evils in any community af
fect all and to work for the commor
good that's Rotary. Here Mr. Turn
er said that Rotary supplements th
work of other organizations at
times; does not try to supplant it
and he urged civic interest on the
part of every Rotarian.
The talk concluded Mr. Turner put
on a stunt that brought down the
house. Picking long and short per
sons, he gave them something to do.
"I sent my son to Paris to get a pair
of scissors," they repeated after him
moving two fingers on their left
hand. Then the boy was sent for a
fan, and the right hand was set to
work. A sewing .machine kept one
foot busy and a cuckoc clock made
sounds and caused the head to bob
It was a scream.
Among the guests last night were

NEW ZEALAND SHOWS PREF
ERENCE TO BRITISH
By the Associated Press.
"Wellington, New Zealand, Feb. 1
The New Zealand government has
iust shown its prefenence for British
machinery by rejecting an American
bid for a hydro-ielectlric machinery
contract and awarding it to a British
firm, although the Americans offer
ed the machinery for 14,000 lbs. less
than their British competitors.
Premier Massey was guestioneo
about the contract in the House of
Representatives and said in reply
that the government loss would be
reduced by the preference tarrrff in
favor of British gc'oa's to 7,000. lbs.
He added that the cabinet had de
cided to take British machinery man
ufactured by British workmen.
This is the first of a series of con
tracts to be awarded for the instal
