I Record Of
. . .7 * C '' . >
I - ~\Sy, >.* -'
I Climaxing fire weeks of real
B winter weather, last Friday
morning, was the coldest that
I haS been seen in this part of
jgckson county since 1893.
I Altogether this was the coldI
est spell of weather during the
nresent century, in most of West
I ern North Carolina ana wie
I south. Unoffcial readings in and
I around Sylva gave the temperaI
ture on Friday morning at fouTr
I teen below zero, while the offlI
cial United States thermometer
I at Cullowhe registered minus 18.
I Not since the famous, but now
I almost forgotten all time low,
I since there have been thermomI
eters in this region, of February
I 16, 1893, have Sylva and CulloI
whee seen it so cold. On that
I February day, 47 years ago, there
I were two thermometers in the
I village of Sylva. One of them reI
corded 31 below, and the other
I 29 below. The United States therI
mometer at the home of Judge
I Davies hit a low of minus 25,
I and at Webster it was minus 30.
I Most people here abouts had
I forgotten that the mercury could
I drop down into the teens below
K zero, and even into the twenfcCs
I and thirties, until they awoke
W last Friday morning to find'their
thermometers well down into the
minus teens, and some instruV
ments, that record ho lower than
f ten or twelve below, and given
' fhp struffrie of trying to re
' uy ou- - ? _
cord the cold, and the mercury
had contracted all of itself into
the little bulb at the bottom.
While Jackson county was
shivering, all the rest of the
mountain country was cold. Topton
had a recording of -17; Brevard
-18; and Enka, -14. But at
some of the higher altitudes the
cold was not so severe.; The
weather station atop Mt. Mitchell
recorded which Isnt unusual
up there.
The whole South shivered in
the cold, and zero minus was not
i unusual In many places in Tenessee,
Georgia, South Carolina,
and even Mississippi. Icicles a
foot long formed at Florida's famous
winter resort of Miami;
and damage to the citrus crops
and vegetables in Florida and
Louisiana ran up into th? millions.
FROZEN HYDRANT
PREVENTS FIREMEN
FROM SAVING ROME
Sunday afternoon the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Roane, on Sylvan
heights, was completely destroyed
by fire, and but few of
the belongings were saved from
the house. The Are originated
from a flue, and Mr. and Mrs.
Roane, who were both at home,
gave the alarm and saved a
small amount of their personal
property. But the fire spread
rapidly in the frame building.
Sylva's fire department responded
promptly to the call; but the
severely cold weather had frozen
the water In the fire-plug, thus
greatly hampering their eftoHs.
A fire was built about the frozen
hydrant; but the home was almost
a total loss before the water
began to play through the
hose.
average prices for
farm products are
the best for decade
An Associated Press dispaftch
from Chicago summing up Arst
of the year conditions with reference
to the market for agricultural
commodities says:
"Farmers studying market
conditions in preparation 'for
this year's planting found prices
of their major commodities today
averaging about 17 per oent
. higher than a year ago.
Of 10 important items farmers
have to sell, only livestock
and eggs brought less returns
lhan at the start of-1939. Most
products were priced under January,
1937, quotations and a few
| ' we*e lower tho.n two years ago,
hut wim these exceptions the
general level of'market prices
was about the best of the past
decade."

STATEMENTS OF INDUSTRIAL
LEADERS
SMOTHER "LACK OF
CONFIDENCE" CRY
By now every one who caji :
ead or hear ought to know ex- !
ictly what is the matter with
he country. Ever since the bankts
and industrialists recovered
rom the blue funk which
>rought them in droves to Wash
ngton during the early days of
he New Deal pleading for the
Government to save them, they
ind their kept economists have
>een letting the world in on the
iecret. Despite the years of re:overy
and despite myriad indiations
in recent months of an
extraordinary rising tide of busness
activity many political and
economic spokesmen for big bus- .
ness still utter the same old,
hreadbare, fatuous cry that
Lack of confidence" is throttlng
business. And of course the
:ause of 'lack of confidence"* is
he Roosevelt administration. '
It would seem as if the quar-9
erly" and annual reports of firms!
ind /corporations showing in-i
reased earnings, extra dM-1
Lends, bonuses and the like!
yould be a sufficient answer) to!
his stale complaint. But since!
Republican candidates and po-M
Ltically-minded persons of all!
orts are still parroting the banal!
>hrase it is not out of place; tpl
eport what the heads of sotnej
;reat enterprises are saying*
yhen they talk for the record. !
Here's Bdsel Ford, President; of*
he Ford Motor Company, in a I
igned article for the press. *Inl
he Rouge plant in Dearborn,"*
le says, "we are in constantn

NEW POTATO VARIETY e
TO GET RECOGNITION ?
. F
North Carolina's contribution t
to the Irish potato field, the re- t
cently developed Sequoia, receiv- h
ed nation-wide attention Fri- t
day, January 12, through the n
coast-to-coast network of the h
Mutual Broadcasting System. e
Named for a famed Indian
chieftain who devised the Chero- *
kee alphabet, the new potato has *
eHnwn unusually high yields as "
WiVnw w _
well as a definite resistance to J1
diseases and insects. Since it was n
formally announced about three &
months ago, inquiries have pour- ii
ed into N. C. State College, the h
institution which originated this t"
variety. e
To M. E. Gardner, head of the 11
Department of Horticulture, and t"
Robert Schmidt, associate horticulturist
of the Experiment Sta- t:
tion, goes credit for developing
? ?*? ?-t. m
;ree lost our courage, but have*
ontinued to believe as firmly aw
ver in the growth of our country!
jid the increasing prosperity oi
ur people through the years toft
ome." ft
Also in a signed article William!
I. Knudson, President of General!]
iotors Corporation wrote: '<Weft
a the automobile industry have!
very reason to be gratified with!

ness which became so marked in!

H. W. Prentis, Jr., President ofl
he National Association ef Man-"
ifacturers, an organizational
phich has shown itself hostile to
tiany, if not most, New Deal (
measures, said in a formal state- .
aent: "In general industry apiroaches
the new year in an opimistic
frame of mind. I am of

iave a distinct opportunity to

ligher than those which have
xisted in recent years."
John J. Pelley, President of the
issociation of American Railoads
in signed statement slid:
The American railroads have
ust passed through one of the
lost unusual years in their hisory?a
year marked by financial
nprovement and record-breakig
achievement. It is predicted
hat there will be an even greatr
improvement in general business

Secretary of Agriculture Wallce
in testimony before the Ways
nd Means Committee of the ^
louse warmly defended the re- st
iproc^l trade agreements meth- M
d of adjusting tariff rates ancl tr
igorously denounced the old
ray of framing tariffs. At one ^
oint he said, "God help the
irmer when a special session $5
f Congress is called to help him tc
ut by tariff legislation. The ol
irmer is many times more likei
to get a square deal out of the
tate Department than out of
tongress on tariff." m
"I believe," the Secretary said
i a prepared statement, "that
rom the standpoint of agricul- ^
Lire, as well as the welfare of
tie nation as a whole, discontinance
of the authority to con- 8?
lude recriprocal trade agree-,lents
would be extremely unDrtunate.
A program of this *
ind will be particularly impor- sa
int in the days of a postwar
rnrlri whirh all of 11s I am snrp TV
Lncerely hope are not too far
way."
Meeting the charge of increasd
imports under the agreelents,
Secretary Wallace said:
It should only be necessary to y
oint out that in all the more
nportant cases of increased imorts,
such as wheat from Canaa,
corn from Argentina, wood V,
rom Australia and hides from ie
irgenitna, there had been no cj
hange whatever in the tariff a]
ates established by the Smoot- tj
Lawley Act of 1930, to dispel the
lyth that trade agreements cj
rere responsible for the temporry
rise in imports during the ^
aiddle Thi&
"It is also a fact that some re- g.
uctions have been made jj
hrough trade agreements in the m
uties on agricultural products, tl
tut I do not know of a single C(
ase where such duty reductions ^
ave seriously inconvenienced an itj
jnerican agricutural industry... r
"As a matter of fact, even in q
939, when imports of cattle ej
eached record levels, the farm 3,
rice of cattle was at or above ^
arity every month of the year... q,

lent bargaining process. There sj?
absolutely no foundation for
uch statements. . . . ^
"After the Smoot-Hawley Act u<
ras passed in 1930, foreign coun- < y
ries felt obliged to erect proibitive
trade barriers in retail- g|*
tion,' international ir^de swiftly n(
ried< up, and what started out H(
s a mild recession soon became
world-wide economic disaster ^
f cataclysmic proportions. . . .
ii this Is past history and would

'tariff grab' like those of ,

EORGE WASHINGTON '/Wt
A PIKER COMPARED
TO YOUNG DEWEY
"Rupert Hughes, the story-tell*
, who some years ago wrote a

numerous flaws in the char*
ter and career of The Father
His Country, has now written
Life of Thomas E. Dewey . . .

find a single flaw in the charter
and career of that precocis
young gentleman.

'campaign biography' or not
sty, in the absence of definite
formation, be left to one man's
ess as well as another's. . . .

nnot help regretting that Mr.

background for Mr. Hughes'
tempt to apotheosize Mr. DewWorcester
