T. Cunningham Funeral services for J. T. Cunningham, 70 year old Sylva citizen, who passed on at his home, Teusday, were conducted at the First Baptist church here, Wednesday afternoon, by the pastor, Rev. H. M. HdcuU, and Rev. Thad F. Deitz. Mr. Cunningham had been in poor health for the past eighteen months or two years, and had been bed-fast for several months. For many years a prominent citizen of Swain county, and for 13 years a member of the Board of Education of that county, Mr. Cunningham moved to Sylva seven years ago, and has engaged in the mercantile business on Cullowhee road. He was a member of the Sylva Baptist church, and of Oconee Lodge of Masons, at Bryson City. In 1934 Mr. Cunningham was married to Miss Esther Sawyer, of Almond, who survived by three sons, Floyd and Glenn Cunningham, of Bryson City, and Thomas Cunningham, of Sylva, and two daughters, Misses Margaret and Bertha Cunningham, both of Sylva. Active pall bearers were Ralph England, Earl Hurst, Robert Chambers, Roy Whitaker, Morgan Dillard, nnri T.awrpni* BattL Honorary pall*bearers were: Dr. A. S. Nichols, E. P. Siillwell, L. P. Allen, Dr. W. P. McGuire, H. Stein, S. H. Montelth, Lewis Cannon, Geo. Cope, C. C. Mason, M. D. Cowan, John H. Wilson, Dr. D. D. Hooper, Vinson Hall, and John B. Ensley. Henson Withdraws W. Lee Henson, who several weeks ago announced his candidacy for the office of Register of Deeds, has announced that he will not be a candidate. Mr. Henaon states that after careful consideration he has decided that it will not be beat for him to be a candidate in the forthcoming primary, as he iz ercpio; ed at the Sylva Pap ..T board Compare's plant, and will not have the time to make an active campaign. Mr. Henson wishes to express his appreciation for the expressions of confidence and support that the has received from his friends in all parts of the county, and to voice his hope and conviction that the tickets nominated in the June primary will be elected by a majority in November. This leaves in the race for the democratic nomination for Regiflter of Deeds, Mrs. Margaret Sherill Roane, the present incumbent, Roscoe Higdon, Earl Reed, Doug, Davis, and Glenn a Hughes.

U. i LINA, APRIL 21, 1938 THIS WEEK DC WASHINGTON - Washington, D. C., April 21, (A.uto- ^ caster)?The defeat of the President'* Government Reorganization bill by the House of Representatives, after | the Senate had passed it by a narrow j margin, is regarded here as evidence' that Congress has reasserted its in- j dependence and resumed its status as an equal and coordinate branch of the government. The action of the House is, moreover, the most severe blow to the President's prestige which Mr. Ttoouevelt has yet received. Last year the Senate refused to grant him power to reorganize the Supreme Court. The lower House was regarded as more amendable to the wishes of the White House, especially this yeer when every member comes up tor re-election. Congress Revolts Defeat of the Reorganization bill i3 merely one indication of the growing revolt of Congress against Exe.. i ? * A1 J cutive control. Anotner is me actum of the Senate in elminating from tha current tax bill of the reform cliaracteristics as well as all other itaon on which the President and his advisors had set much store. Whaft more, several amendments KOI drafted to relieve business of QCftato tax burdens, a move certainly WXXl contemplated by the original framm. In both the above cases, the njOlt between Congress and the Administration has been squarely one of policy. This is taken by many to indicate that Congress has grown Ottt of sympathy to the earlier avowed aims of the New Deal and is determined to stop further encroachments by the Executive into Legislative domains of power, * 330,000 Wire "NO" The belief that the Reorganization bill was but part of a scheme to concentrate more power into the Executive's hands is shared by many members of both Houses. It certainly was shared by many people who <3oluged the offices of both telegraph companies with 330,000 wire*, r&S to mention uncounted letters, universally disapproving of the proposal. An eleventh-hour and strangely unsolicited denial of dictatorial ambitions by the President encouragsd ?1 foarc The left 1 it II 11^1 lilei: l cuiaj vv4 Wl handed compliment to the Senate that that bodys approval of the organization bill proved that certain interests could not "purchase Senatorial votes by organized letters and telegrams" was particularly resented in the House. It was qpenly charged that the Presidents emissaries had tried to influence votes by threats of reprisals and promises of patronage and allotments of Federal funds. Students of political strategy here i are candid in their belief that the j Administration sensed ultimate de! feat for the Reorganization bill even ! while spokesmen op the floor of the ; House were claiming victory by fantastic majorities, Ntw Pump-prlmlnf They point to the well-timed announcement by the President of a . gigantic new pump-priming drive to 'speed recovery. This had every indication of having been devised to ' diverts popular attention from the . Reorganization debacle. The announcement was devoid of exact details lifltil several days after the first press release and the reports differed' greatly as to the actual amount of mdney to be poured down the dry economic well. Figures ranging from one and a i half 1o six billions of dollars have , beat* mentioned but shrewd observers point out that whatever the amount is finally named, a Congrea. signal appropriation is necessary be" fore actual spending can begin. No Blank Checks With the present attitude of Congress in mind, doubts are voiced in Capitol circles that the new multibillion spending program will re. semble those of the past in anything save its color and position on the Treasury report. Former relief appropriations were handed over to the Executive in practically blank check form. Even the ultimate pur pose for which the money would be f spent was left largely to the discretion of the President, . It is extremely doubtful if such will'.be the case this time for Con, gress is in no mood to surrender one of its dearest prerogaitves which is control of the purse-strings. With no fear of patronage reprisals, opposition to Executive dictation can hold ; no great political risks.

Ohio Canal and turn it into a public recreational waterway. I can vouch ? for its recreational possibilities, for in my adolescent ; youth in Washington the old 'C & O" canal was. one of the favorite playgrounds of , rthe boys in their middle 'teens whom i used to go with. Originally planned by George ( Washington to provide a waterway between the navigable lower waters of the Potomac and the upper reaches of that turbulent river, the C 6c O ' > canal was not finished until 1850, after railroads had begun to replace > j waterways for inland transporta- * tion. But it carried a good deal of slow-moving freight for 75 years, and it was a grand place to swim, fish and paddle a canoe. I remember the winter of 1886-87 when the Potomac River froze solid at Washington and the canal provided wonderful skating. Three other boys and myself started to skate from Washington to Cumber- >. C land, 150 miles. There is no more beautiful scenery in America than the wooded mountains through which the Potomac falls and up which the C & O canal climbs by a series of ERIE . . . "Clinton's Folly'' . Another waterway which I knew well as a young man is the Erie Canal, which runs 300 miles across Mew York from Lake Erie to the Hudson River. The Erie Canal was / r the dream of a great and far-seeing American patriot, DeWitt Clinton. Clinton was first to realize, after the Revolution, that the Northwest Territory was bound to fill up with settlers, whose products would have to be shipped to the seaboard. Railroads had not be-n invented. The only water routes to the sea were the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, 'v.' leading to iWw Orleans, and the O . Great Lakes, blocked by Niagara ? Falls, and even if commerce could ijet by the Falls it would go through Canada and the ice-bound St. Lawrence River. . > "Clinton's Folly," as his political jnemies ridiculed his canal scheme, nade New York City the metropolis " * J* -i- ?11 51 America, ior it cuiiceiiuatcvi cm wa the freight originating in the basin of the Great Lakes at Buffalo, and carlied it by water to the Hudson River ' j. \xid the seaport at its mouth. Philalelphia was America's largest city hi 182$, when the Erie Canal was opened, and Boston second. iUtM . . accident cause More fatal automobile accidents Irt ceueed by glaring headlights Mo by almost any other single* aUN. Every driver fervently wishes &ere were some way to kill the ~ i i i* ~ -1 glare. Jbucn a way nas deen iuuhu. TJid a company has been formed ta manufacture a new material which, when used in headlight lenses and .. i ipplied to windshields, reduces the glare of an approaching car's light:* to a couple of bright purple spofc\ ? whil estill permitting them to illuminate the roadway. It .will probably be years before this new anti-glare system cornea Into general use, just as it took years after the invention of shatter-proof glass before car manufacturers generally adopted it. Now many state.; \ refuse to license a car which is not equipped with safety glass, and I anticipate that in time every car will be required to have anti-glare headlights and windshields. Some day, beyond doubt; driving on our highways will be a much safer occupation than it is- today. ? Autqmobiles have already killed more people in 40 years thai* were killed in all of the wars this nation has been engaged in. > FLYING new to man In proportion to the number of passengers and the mileage traversed, the annual death-toll of aviation is far less than that of motoring. . News of fatal flying accidents gets bigger headlines than any other kind of sudden death because, I be lieve, "most people have a greater fear of falling from a height than of anything else.
