Entered as second class matter at the Post Office Sylva, N. C. A GREAT MAN PASSES * / " * cinnnfnr TTnrnifnlii M. With the passing 01 iornicr ocuom ? Simmons, at his home in New Bern, Tuesday, one of the most colorful and dynamic figures that the State ' has ever known has left us. For nearly half a century Senator Simmons was the dominant figure in North Carolina politics. Beginning his Career as a State-wide figure, as the chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee, during the White Supremacy Campaign, changed the course I of political history in this State, elevated Charles B. \ Aycock to be Governor of North Carolina, and thus started the State on its progress of education and advancement, freed from the spector of racial fears and racial turmoil. From 1900 to 1930 his political machine controlled the State, and kept him in the United States Senate, where he became known as one of the leading figures in the National life. During the World War he was one of the mainstays of Woodrow Wilson and the American government. Small of stature, he was big of brain, and possessed with energy, that carried him far: In 1928 he refused to follow Alfred E. Smith, beppnsp nf Smith's anti-Drohibition sentiments. Though | he did not vote for Hoover, he yet gave encouragement to the anti-Smith forces in the State; and that seeming apostacy from the Democratic faith, resulted in {lis defeat for renomination to the United States Senate, where he had served so long, and had won such renown for himself and his North Carolina. He made many enemies both within and without his party; but he also made many thousands of staunch and loyal friends. Few men since Zeb Vance have had the hold on North Carolina tha{; F. M. Simmons had; and no man has ever held the people for as long as he did. He served the State well; and in death all North Carolina joins in paying tribute to one of the great State's greatest sop's. i? . THE TRAGEDY OF WAR One of the griat tragedies of this war is that neutral nations, nations that desire nothing but to be let alone to pursiie their peaceful ways, are drawn into the fighting, whether they will or no. They have committed nq offense, except that their lands, their resources or their strategic positions are coveted by others who happen to have the power to walk over and take possession of that which belongs to their neighbor nations. Czechoslovakia, Austria, Poland, Finland, Denmark^ Norway, one by one they have been invaded, their countries subjected to the blight of war, their young men slain, their governments overthrown, for no reason except that brute force coveted that which Was theirs. This is not only a great tragedy of present events, it is also the great lesson that all of us can learn. Who will be next? Will it be Switzerland, or Holland, Belgium, or one of the Balkan nations? Brute force, savagery, (with the trappings of civilization) the law of the jungle, aggression, are again on the march, seeking to overthrow all who would stand in their way, heedless of the rights of others crushing under the iron heel the liberties, the ways of life, the civilizations that have been tediously builded through the centuries. These forces have shown utter disregard for neutral rights in Scandinavia.; They will be as ruthless anywhere else in the world, if and when it \ZTr\t 11 /"J nnnw. - ? ' * huuiu occm bu sun uueir purpose ro striKe. The most highly civilized peoples in Europe are perhaps in those Scandinavian counties. They are thrifty, hardworking, home-loving, God-fearing, people, who have interfered with nobody, covet nothing that any nation owns, desire nothing but to be let alone to follow their own way and their own inclinations. They steered their ships of state through the troubled waters of the 'World War without becoming involved in the storm. Yet today, because Germany of 1940 is even more ruthless than Germany of 1918, their countries have become the battle ground _ j* . n - oi trie second world War. No partisan of Hitler, no follower of Stalin, can justify that. These men first begin an infiltration and set their termites at work trying to undermine the foundations of a country that they would take over. (That is going on today in England, in France, and in America.) Then, when the whip hand seems to be held by the forces of tyranny, the invasion begins, and the demand is made that the invaded country submit, or be destroyed, and terrible punishment is promised to those who do not submit their wills, their way, and their country to the will and the ^ " THE JACMSON C way of the mad paper-hai They scoffed at Churc fate of every neutral, der was identified with the ? only reason the small nat side the French and Britis allies would win before th< several countries.

England and France doing so are risking the ov public, the loss of rich col dismemberment of the Bri Fort Oglethorpe C. M. T. Camp To Start. In .June The purpose of the Citizens' Military Training Encampment to be held at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., this year from June 12 to Julv 11 is to bring together on a common basis of equality for thirty day's training, young men from all walks of life and from all sections of our country. This method of training promotes closer social and national unity and acquaints young men with the privileges, duties and responsibilities of American citizenship. Self discipline, teamwork and leadership are stressed with a j view oa de\eiv>piiig a liigner moral and physical standard for American youth. These encampments, by an act of Congress, are offered free to young men between the ages of 17 to 24 for entrants, and ranging up to 29 for advanced courses. Free transportation to and from the camp is furnished. Food, lodging, clothing and routine medical attention are also furnished free. Reading material, writing material and sports equipment are available, and competitions in athletics and games are open to all. Applications for training may be obtained from Camp CommonHar Pnrf* nolofhnrnci Ho nr iiiaiiuv/i, a ui v v/givviiui vn*., wi from State Aides and C. M. T. C. County Representatives. Applications for this training will accepted until June 10, 1940, without regard to county quotas. Character and Development Young men learn by doing things at these camps. They develop confidence and leadership by shouldering responsibility. They are offered a chance while at camp to lead others. Military instruction and playing the game as part of a team instills within these young men, a broader outlook on life and helps them to see the other fellow's poini of view. The camps train men to act quickly and effectively in an emergency. Accurate records show that young men grow taller, gain weight and learn to carry themslves better while attending these camps. Good food, regular hours, outdoor exercises and military training are the reasons. The health of these young men is given first consideration. The .rigid physical examination at these camps often uncover unsuspected physical defects which, with proper treatment, are quickly, corrected. Tne food in camp is good, plentiful and wholesome. It is carefully prepared by experienced cooks, under the direction of a Mess Officer who supervises the purchase, preparation and serving. Menus are carefully planned, and a well balanced diet is assured. i America's war - stimulated foreign trade sent export figures climbing again in March to $344,000,000, an increase of 30 per cent above the same month of last year.

Health Board Urges Typhoid Vaccination i ~ Raleijh ?"Why depend or minimum protection when maximum protection is available?' said Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, State Health Officer, in a statement urging vaccination against typhoid fever now, in order to secure complete immunization by vacation and camping season. "While minimum protection may result as early as a week afror last. Hnsp nf ftnt.i-t.vnhnirf fever vaccine is administered," he went on, "yet experience has <hown that it takes two months to develon its full effect. So why not ac: i.*w in order to be fully oroiecteu wkita you take your /acation or go camping this summer? "Upon parents especiallyDr, Reynolds declared, "there develops a distinct responsibility, because during summer months children are perhaps more exposed to typhoid fever than their elders, due to the fact that they get about more. Froip the time school closes in late spring until it opens again in the fall, youngsters are swimming, camping, fishing, and otherwise engaging in outdoor life "While it may be true that some degree of protection against water borne typhoid fever may be secured if the last dose bf vaccine is taken after exjiosure, yet the risk of delay is too great to take. If the question of immunization against typhoid and paratyphoid were debatable, there might be some room for argument, but that has hPOD COttldH lr?r?nr n rr/% I?nn4-o MWii uwvivu lung agu. r speak for themselves. I shall just cite one which ought to convince the most skeptical ? if there are such. The death rate from typhoid fever here in North Carolina in 1914 was 35.8 per 100,000 population. Last year, it was only 1.3. "The fact that vaccination is a sure preventive should encourage a continuance of the precaution that sensible people are taking. The fact that the incidence and death rate have decreased does not mean that the victory has been won. It simply means the stream has bcfen dammed. Break the dyke and typhoid fever will again sweep over our State and Nation as it did in former years.; "Act now, while there is time. Make surp vnn win ,, vu niu 11V/U l/Ulil/1 typhoid this summer, by going to your family physician at once. He will either begin inoculation or advise whether your last vaccination still gives protection." Ml* SWFH hadM FEMALE COMPLAINTS t*** ? /y*"* ft?

C. | \TATTfl? I iWllV>L I TO THE PUBLIC UNIFORM CHARGE FOR RED CAP PORTER SERVICE * ? In order to improve and standardize Red Cap service to the public, the Southern Railway Company announces that effective May 1, 1940, it will make a flat charge of 10 cents for each bag or parcel carried upon request of owner at Southern Railway Passenger Station, AsHeville and Biltmore, N. C. This will place the porter service upon the same basis, with reference to uniform * price as now prevails in the parcel room and locker service. By thus substituting a fixed payment plan for the custom of tipping, with its accompyaning irregularities in the amounts paid, the Southern Railway Company will be able to place its Red Caps on a uniform wage basis. In addition, the new plan will eliminate controversies and legal complications which have arisen under recent Federal legislation regarding the status of Red Caps as employees and the status of tips as compensation for their work.
