Established 1892 Subscription Rates: 1 Year ___$1.00 6 Months ___ AO Payable in Advance THROUGH T H E KEYHOLE By BILL RUTLEDGE PAGES FROM A REPORTER’S NOTE BOOK A fantastic, chaotic, hodge podge thing is the notebook every writer carries always^ in his pocket. A quoted snatch of someone’s conversation ... A single word, hastily jotted down to help re member some bit of news or some slice of life, some comedy or trag edy that has come to the writer’s attention ... An isolated statisti cal fact, picked up while reading a report or meeting a person or hearing a story. A hodge-podge thing, chaotic thing—the notebook that a col umnist compiles as he goes see ing, hearing, noting down. For instance, we turn the pages of our little notebook . . . * * * The Girl Just two words, crowded off in a comer of the last page—The Girl. We always thought we would write a paragraph about her, but the simple notation has been gathering dust, surrounded by scrawls and tid-bits of in formation for month after month. The Girl walked into the office, slowly hobbling on crutches, carrying a brief-case in one hand. She was a magazine salesgirl, she said, from Warm Springs, Ga., where she had been recovering from an illness. She was not working her way through college or securing points to be a nurse; she was just selling mag azines. We shook our head. If we read all the publications we have access to we wouldn’t even have time to write this column each week. Her clear blue eyes held a puzzled, weary look that only a girl without parents or a home and only a few scattered friends could hold as she picked up her brief-case and hobbled toward the door. A few seconds later we had relented. Another magazine was on our list. * * * Cowboys Yadkin county has two cow boys, a pencil scrawl testifies. The column doesn’t know who they are. One of them sticks to a flaming red shirt, trimmed in white, topped by a cream-colored five-gallon hat. Another would blend with the wranglers wrap ped around the bar in Carson City, Nevada, and not appear out of place. He prefers a black at tire — black five-gallon som brero, black shirt trimmed with white, fancy belt, black corduroy pants tucked in h i g h-heeled boots, finished off with spurs. Seen mostly on Saturdays when the local movie house runs horse operas. Six Just the word six, written to gether with other notations. It doesn’t say, but it represents mangled bodies, twisted steel, screams in the thick, foggy, night air. Screaming tires skid their last time, and the grim reaper chalks up another death for Yad kin county. Six persons have been killed since January in auto accidents in the county. Only five were killed in the entire world war from Yadkin. Just the word six, but it stands for hum an drama, human suffering. Six deep, stark personal tragedies. * * • Hitch-Hikers We don’t ordinarily pick up hitch-hikers along the highway, but the two young men who were standing on the corner at Brooks Crossroads appeared to be all right, so we applied the brake and they climbed into the car. They were from West Jefferson, they said, and had started to Winston-Salem to join the Army and go to the Philippines. They LATE NEWS IN BRIEF From the State and Nation STATE WINDSOR, Not. A "whte pering campaign” vu the downfall of a Snake Bite, N. C., township officer in yesterday’s general election. Henry Demp sey had been township con stable for many years and was unopposed for re-election until the last moment. But word got around yesterday morning that Dempsey was a Willkie man. When the township votes were counted, Dempsey had 23 and a write-in candidate, Roy Stocks, had 78. But the town ship cast 159 votes for Presi dent Roosevelt and none for Wendell Willkie — and now everyone is wondering Just how that rumor got started. ALTHOUGH Wendell L. Willkie is running well behind President Roosevelt, he is mak ing a better showing in both electoral votes and popular votes than Alf M. Landon did in 1936. Landon had 8 electoral votes to 523 for Roosevelt. Early Wednesday Willkie had cap tured, or held the lead in states with 98 electoral votes, as against a tentative total of 433 for Roosevelt. NATIONAL WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. — President Roosevelt’s apparent victory over Wendell L. Willkie gave John L. Lewis his self appointed cue today to step down as C. I. O. president, and it likewise encouraged conjec ture that new efforts would be made to end the A. F. L.-C. I. O. schism in union ranks. Lewis staked his C. I. O. lead ership on a Roosevelt defeat when he issued his dramatic call to followers two weeks ago for a Willkie triumph. Closest associates said no one would be able to dissuade the veteran labor leader from carrying through with his avowed in tention to quit as C. L O. head. HYDE PARK, N. Y., Nov. 6. —President Roosevelt today promised undeviating support for principles of his new deal in the harsh years into which he fears the new world is head in. “I think you will find me in the future Just exactly the same Franklin Roosevelt as you have known for a great many years,” he said in a victory speech to his Hyde Park neigh bors. That was the first ppblic utterance of the President after the trend to Tuesday’s voting had been established. It im plied a promise that after his third inauguration next Jan uary 20, the administration will meet the problems of a world at war on the same basis which guided the new deal since March 4, 1933. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—The great tide of votes for Presi dent Roosevelt was interpreted today as insuring uninterrupted continuation of an American foreign policy predicated on all aid “short of war” for Britain, and a firm stand against the policies and acts of aggressor nations. The diplomatic con sensus, too, was that it would add speed to the Pan-American program to strengthen the de fenses of the Western Hemi got out at Yadkinville and walk ed on down the road. The next morning they were in jail. They had broken into the Forbush school building during the night. Grand Canyon For some reason or other, we have never written anything about Grand Canyon, which we visited during the summer. We have never mentioned standing on the brink of the vast chasm, in Eastern Arizona, and taking in the beauty of the deep, yawning gap in the earth’s surface; the magnificent scenery, the breath taking views from the rim of the canyon itself. Four thousand feet down in the awesome gorge a pencil-size river winds its way through the bottom of towering, red and purple faced granite cliffs, and is lost somewhere far down in the fissures of the earth beneath green trees and gold banks on the valley floor. One of the seven wonders of the world—just a big ditch, stretch ing for miles and miles and miles. A beautiful ditch of unrivaled beauty, created by nature. * * * And these are just a few lines from the pages of the notebook; the chaotic, hodge-podge note book. It can’t be any other way; it is based on life. sphere. Most obscnrerg took it as a foregone conclusion that Cordell Hull, oo-author and spokesman of the administra tion’s international foreign pol icy, would remain as secretary of state in the new adminis tration. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 — The Democrats, riding a tide ' of votes with President Roose velt, kept control of both House and Senate In Tuesday’s election. An official tabulation at 8:10 am. (ea.t.) showed they had won 222 House seats, for more than a majority, to 107 for the Republicans. In addition, one incumbent Amer ican Laborite was re-elected. A majority is 218. Building Plans Given Free to N. C. Farmers Prof. David S. Weaver, head of the Department of Agricultural Engineering at N. C. State Col lege, has renewed the offer of his department to supply building plans free to farmers through their county agents and he an nounces that 150 or more new plans are available. The new plans are illustrated in a book just published by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, containing a wide range of de signs for farm buildings and equipment — from eight-room dwellings to hog troughs and gates. The U.S.D.A. book was prepared to illustrate and list plans agreed upon by agricultur al engineers of State Colleges and Extension Services of 12 South ern states. “With these new plans, and many others drawn during the past year especially for North Carolina conditions by our Ex tension architect, James H. Walsh, we are better prepared than ever to serve Tar Heel farm people,” Prof. Weaver declared. He emphasized, however, that all requests for blueprints should be made through county farm and home agents of the Extension Service. “This will eliminate extended correspondence,” he said, “be cause we have, for instance, 15 farm dwellings in the new U. S. D. A. list and 52 farm dwellings in our North Carolina list. They range from two to eight-room houses. When a farmer writes in for a set of plans fur a dwelling, we seldom have any way of knowing which of the 67 blue prints on file to send him. "By looking over the illustrat ed list of plans in the new U. S. D. A. book, and then studying the descriptions of the 314 plans in the North Carolina bulletin, he should be able to select exactly the plan best fitting his needs.” Shugart Home In Jonesville Razed By Fire The large frame home of Mr. and Mrs. Will Shugart, of Jones ville, was totally destroyed by fire Tuesday. The blaze, thought to have ori ginated from a chimney, was dis covered about 12:30 p. m. and rapidly gained headway. A majority of the furnishings on the ground floor of the home were saved. Furniture upstairs was de stroyed. Mr. Shugart, veteran rural route mail carrier, stated that the loss was partly covered by insur ance.
