Lend a helping hand ! Nikwasi THE people of Franklin have noted with interest the historical marker that has been recently erected on U. S. Highway 23 near the Indian niound. .. Nikwasi This mound marks site of old Cherokee town, Nikwasi. A council of Sir Alexander Cuming with the Indians here led to a treaty, 1730. Made of metal of artistic design, with the state seal ornamenting the top, this permanent marker is of the same design used throughout the state, and is large enough to be read from cars on the high way. . . The North Carolina Historical Commission is to be congratulated on this valuable work on thus marking places of historic interest. Citizens of Franklin appreciate this marker that commemorates Cherokee history. Leaders Support President's Program THE October issue of the. Democratic Digest prints a page of comments by national leaders of both parties , supporting President Roosevelt's program for the repeal of the arms embargo as a first step to keep the United States out of the pres ent European war. This support is growing strong erwith no party lines drawn as debate continues on the Senate floor and 6er the radio. Among those individuals and organizations that have come out for repeal are the following : HENRY L. ST1MSON, Secretary of State under President Hoover "Repeal (of the arms embargo) is a belated step, but it is a step in the direction of possibly saving, us from eventual participation rather than of bringing that participation nearer. "Nor is the repeal which I favor a departure from those traditional policies of cur country in regard to involvement in European affairs ; . . On the contrary, a repeal of this legislation would be a return to those traditional policies of our Government and our forefathers since the very foundation of trie united oiaie. FRANK KNOX, 1930 Republican Vice Presidential Candidate "The proposals the President has made are sound and 1 agree with them entirely . . . I would not object to a cash.and-carry plan. WALTER LIPPM ANN, Columnist "We may say then that re tention of the embargo will almost certainly lengthen the war; that, .second, there is no -reason for believing that it can insure us against -the displeasure of the Nazis; and third, that it cannot prevent the expansion of war exerts. The net effect, insofar as one can now imagine it, is to increase the risks of a long war without diminishing the risks that the embargo is expressly designed to eliminate." SENATOR SHERMAN MlNTON, Democrat, Indiana "Public!: sentiment in' Indiana is strongly for repeal of the arms embargo." SENATOR SCOTT W. LUCAS, Democrat, Illinois "I am con vinced that the best nie-ans of staying out of war would be to have a mandatory cash-and-carry provision." ' , SENATOR ROBERT A. TAFT, Republican, Ohio "I favor repeal ing the embargo on arms, ammunition and implements of war . . . "Mt seems to me that there is nothing unneutral about supplying arms to any nation which can buy them, 'just as we have through out our country's history. But we should require every purchasing nation to come here and pay for them and carry them away, that this country do:s not .become involved in another world war." SENATOR KEY P1TTMAN, . Democrat, Nevada, Chairman, Senate Committee on Foreign Relations "This" country cannot remain neutral so long as the embargo act remains on the statute books." SENATOR WARREN R. AUSTIN, Republican, Vermont "I am in very much agreement with the President." . .', SENATOR WILLIAM H. SMATIIERS, Democrat, New Jersey "The best insurance for American neutrality would be the immediate repeal of the embargo on armi," Number 42 Johnson.. . . . . . .1 ublishers Managing Ed.tot $1.50 $1.00 .75 .05 s resieond gen THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND Highlands MRS.

Bascom, who came here as a young man, and who has fig ured so prominently in the history of Highlands, is, after after 58 years, still -keenly interested in the continued growth of the town. That Mr, Bascom enjoys reading the news of the village, especially during the winter months while occupying his New York City home, is evidenced by the fact that he has just renewed his subscrip tion to The Franklin Press for another two years. He states that he has been a subscriber to this paper since it began publication, with the exception of such times when Highlands had its own paper. In view of our progressive re sort town of today, the following paragraph of Mr. Bascom's letter to the writer, which accompanied his renewal check, is most inter esting: "I came here in May, 1881, and now only Mr. J. J. Smith outranks me as the . 'oldest inhabitant' of our -village.' Iln those days it was considered little short of a crime to work on Saturday afternoon, and J stood by while John Hous ton, who had been working on Main street with his cattle, shook the .silver dollars which had just been paid him and said, "Mr, Kel sev.
