VICTORY DRIVE SUCCEEDING Greensboro, Maneh 23 ? With ;i tot el of 8,472.35 in hand, the campaign of . the Democratic party to secure"1 funds through its Victory Fund driv? with which to wage the 1932 cam paign has entered upon its final month in North Carolina. "I expect to close tht> campaign in North Carolina bv April 15", said C. L. Shaping, state manager, "and then to spend the 15 days from that date to May 1 in winding up the can vassing in such counties as do not complete the wark by that date". Mr. Shaping expressed the' belief , that the object of the campaign will be attained. He stinted mat Jchn W. Davis, national chairman, had advis ed him "that more than $550,000 of the goal of j|H ,500,900 had been col lected this representing oontvibBiijm|. teeejveft '^rom-eV^ry sect ion nation, but that, no state had com pleted its work. ?"For instance", said Mr. Shuping, 'Sfr. have collected $8,172.35 in North ? * Carolina, but t fie, canvassing has beer. wa^ed intensively in only 23 of the ? *" * t 100 counties. I have this week advis-j ad all county managers that we havcj only 30 days in- which to complete the work, and have urgf-d upon them the necessity of making a thorough can vass of the state in that time. When ? i we have complete reports from all 100 J coontiei^ 1 feel certain that the amount already. received will be more than tripled." "Mr. Davis is greatly pleased with the showing made by North Carolina thus far, and he confidently expects that this state will attain the desirpd results. I do not sec 1?9W we can af ford to fail in this work for the djpi-. ccrntic party." Mr. Shuping expressed gratifica ion at the large number of small aib scriptions which have been received from North Carolinians. The total, j he said, represents the contributions of approximately 1,000 individuals,, many of whom have contributed not i more than a dollar. The state cfcair-j man gave as his belief that these smell contributions "indicate the in* terest of the rank and file-in the work of the Democratic party. They ?shew that the people are lodkirg to the Democratic party as their hope this year, and are willing, even dup ing the hard times of this Republ:-. can administration, to contribute of their means in order to help bring about Democratic victory a? the polls in November". , ' ? "These arc the kind of contriba-i tions we want", he said. "We wajiti the people to feel that they arc, tn j fact, stockholders in the Democratic | party". The appeal is being carried to ill interested in the "Democratic party to make their nontribntions forge |>r small, at the earliest possible no-j meut, either to their local comity j managers or to the state headquart ers in Greensboro.

TODAY and TOMORROW (By Frank Parker Stockbridge) Hindecburg Four toon years ago the American and Allied armies were making des j perate efforts to check the advance of Ihe "Hindenburg line" on the Western front. Germany "came nearer t-j victory in the Spring of 1918 than at any other moment of the whole V. ill'. Today America j?nd ?he Allies are rejoicing t hut (Sonera! von Hinden burg, after seven years as President of the German ilepublic, has been re-elected for another seven years! 1 Nothing could demonstrate better the fact lhai we verw not making war on the German j>eople but" on '.he Kaiser and his .system. Hinden burg has won the respect of the | whole world. If he lives out his new tern hr will be 91 before it is fill- 1 i?hi'd. A grand, tough old man! Voters The United Ktates has u population ! of about 125 million. Germany has | a population of less than million, about half as many as we have. The largest vote ever polled in the I'll- tod iS fates was 30 3-4 million, in i the Presidential election of 1928. 'About half ml' Americans oliijihlo toj | vote did not trouble to gO to tho polls. At the presidential election -in Ger many on March 13 there* were more than 37y? million votes cast. Half of our population, but more voters out than any election has ever brought out in America, Now somebody ought to find an is su? that will bring out all of our 72 million qualified American voters to the polls next Novcmer. Moaey Jlonev, the economists tell us, is f anything which people freely, accept in payment for services and commodi ties. Accordingly the "wooden money" which Ihe Chamber of Comifterce of a:. 1**" _ i t _ ? "l / t ? Ten mo, Wash., has issued, money though it is printed really on ply A local banlT failed, will "frozen assets". To relieve the distre s caused by bo imieh of Ihe oommcni y money being tied np in the bank t ie Cham ber of Commerce issued "sc ipt" ccr- 1 tificytes, based upon the expected 25 percent dividend out of tlr> bank's assets. And because Tenino is in the lumber country, Its people clcverly got a lot of publicity by printing this script on wood. Numismatist^ which means coin col lectors,are interested and have bought specimens of thi7~woodeii money Tor more than its fac? value. Its only drawback is that it isn't accepted as money outside of the territory served by the Tenino business houses. Travel To mak<> it easier for Americans to travel, some of the big Atlantic steam ship lines are (offering a plan where by anybody can pay for his Euro pean trip on installments. Pay a susrtcr of the cost of the tour in casl and then one of the big finance companies will put up the rest of the money and the tourist can pay itoff in ten monthly instalments. Of course, tho finance company 'wants to know all about the people it (iocs business with on that basis, and of course the tourist pays inter est on the deferred payments; but it look;; like, a good scheme. Any kind of travel that takes one into strange lamls where people have different ideas about life and dif ferent customs and manners is good for anybody. The only really intelli gent people are iho ones who realize that the whole world in not just like their home town. Canals Government engineers are snrvey iner alternate routes for a sea -level ship canal across Ibe upp?r part of the Florida peninsula, connecting thr Atlantic Ocean with the Gulf of Mex ico. I I can think of nothing that can be done so cheaply that will be worth so rich. It will be valuable not alone to Florida but to all of the Gulf states and their puis and to the rest of 'he Atlantic seiboard in makinsr commerce quicker and easirr between the eastern states and the Gulf states f'nr experience with canals has bee" uniformly q>ood. Some of the canals which were built before the ; 'railroads are regarded as ohselete to-' i dav bat it was the Erie Cud, which C. of C.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PLANNING COUNTY MEET j The Syiva Chamber of Commerce is making plans for an Agricultural and Industrial Meeting, to be held on or near April 17. The Board of Di rectors has approved the plan, and the matter will b* laid before the membership of the Chamber at the annual meeting, which will be held on April 5. It is being realized more and more by observing business men and farm era that the future prosperity of the county and the town of Sylva depend upt'ii the proper development of our agricultural and industrial resources, that the resources are here, that we need not depend upan someone from the outside to come in and develop them for usj but that we can, by co opeiativo effort, intelligent planning, and honest effort, work out our own economic salvation. Leading citizens from different parts of the county will be invited to be present at the meeting and take council together as to how best we can make use of the resources that arc ours, to improve the economic situation both immediately and in const ructng a sound foundaton for our future economic structure.
