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:-.

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 ;

PLANNING COUNTY MEET
j

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

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.
