Carelessness Is
Chief Cause Of
Fires In Park
Carelessness with can p fires is be
coming a serious matter in the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park, ac-j
cording to Superintendent J. li. Eak- j
in, and if this continues camp fires j
must be prohibited in order to pro- j
tect the park. I
Last Sunday, despite wji nings, a,
large picnic pirty left three fires!
burning along the Indian Cap High
way. Such practices as this only
make it more difficult for those who
love the mountains and know how to j
use them.
Laws in effect state, "Fires shall!
be lighted only when necessary, and i
when no longer needed shall be com
pletely extinguished and bed smoth
ered with* earth or water, so that;
there renianis no possibility of reig- j
?nition". At no time may camp fires be
started near trees, dead wood, moss,
dry leaves, ete., but if a fire is need
ed it may b? kindled in some ojjen
spaee on earth or rocks".
Park Rangers have been instructed
to take vigorous action against those
who are indifferent to dangers of
fires of alf kinds. ? i

Sees Canadian Tariff As
Menace To U. S. Industry
Washington, June 9.?Declaring
that the Canadian tariff retaliation
is "one more blow to American in
dustries already suffering from the
ruination of our foreign markets by
the Smoot-Hawley tariff," Jouett
Shouse, Chairman Democratic Execu
tive Committee, predicts that, in so
far as he can speak for it, the Dem
ocratic party, will gladly accept the
recent challenge issued by the lie
publican National Committee defend
ing the rates of the Smoot-Hawley
Act as "no more than s;der|uate in
manv instances and in- some cases
' perhaps not high enough."
! In his statement depicting the cf
! fects of the Smoot-Hawley tariff,
Chairman Shouse said:
"The administration c^ld not
have inflicted greater punishment on
American business had it deliber
ately sought to alienate our best eu?
toiueR, Iu 1929 we exported nearly a
billion dollars' worth of -t>ur pro
duct ; to our neighbor on the north,
and imported approximately half
that much. I" 1930, during half of
which year the Smoot-Hawley tariff
was in
effect, Canada bought from
us $300,000,000 less and we bought
from her $100,000,000 less than we
had purchased the year belom.
j "In the first three months of
11931 qur exports to Canada had
dropped nearly $08,000,000 below
: the- corresponding months of last
year sind onr imports had fallen off
an additional $40,000,000 in the same
1 period. This means that our normal
i business with Canada is cut in
half.''
Chairman Shouse pointed out that
i l|k three hundred million dollars in a
; single year taken out of the volume
? of our business with one foreign
i customer means that more than one
hundred thousand j?eople are left
i without emplowment in the industries
iftuucdiately affected. The loss of pur
chasing j>owcr of this number means
furth-.v unemplovment.And so the vic
ious snowball of misery rolls bigger;
i and bigger"
He referred to scores of big:
pianin act urcrs who have * installed !
plants in Canada, every o:ie of which,'
he said, "represents a loss of oppor -
tunity and contributes further to the !
delay in the restoration of our nat i
ional prosperity". *
This process will go on at an in
creased pace, Chairman Shouse said,
as long as we continue our present tar
iff syHtem.

CEIL BtJCHANN IS KILLED >...
- IN vEtraENE, OREOdg^
Eugene, Oregon, June 8.?On May
28th, 1931, death brought to a very
pathetic and tragic close the noble
?life of a most devoted son and broth
er, Walter Rasselass Buchanan, when
a track he was driving was struck
by a train on a crossing.
He was bom in Sylva, North Car
olina, August 31st, 1895, and spent
part of his childhood there. Twenty
two years ago he came to Oregon, to
make it his home.
He attended both Graded {School
and High School^ in Florence, Ore
gon, and from then on assisted his
fattier, in the Florence Poet Office.
But when our country cried -out The
;Call To Arms,' only too proudly did
he resign his post at his father's
side to answer the call, and follow
the colors.. From a small boy, up
until his death, he has never been
known to shirk his duty. ,
tHe was a Sergeant in the 351st.
Aero Squadron, in France. Not only
did he serve his country as a true
and loyal soldier, but his entire life
has .been' spent unselfishly, lovingly,
in serving others.
Always has he tried to execute
hie duty, though gently, in whatever
problem that chanced to confront
him.- . .
To his loved ones, friends, * - and
felloe-workers, he has given the
very best that was in him.
" None knew him, but t? love and
.respect hin;. He goes to his rest
without an enemy, in the wide, wide,
world, and his passing has engraved
upon our hearts a host of beautiful
memories, that can never fade.
...His- life-sets before us a mangifi
;c#nt -example. One worthy to be
followed. ...
He. possessed the heavenly gift of
sympathy, and tenderness, in a iruch
greater measure than most human
hearts.
Honesty, unselfishness, and con
sideration, for^others, stood out most
resplendently in- his daily walk of
life. He made no attempt to be ac
claimed, applauded, or praised. He
asked for - nothing in return?but,
gave to the ? world the best he had,
and silently awaited the brilliant
reward he now claims at the foot of
"The Great White Throne".

child, a sweet babe of only a fcur
