WOULD PROHIBIT MARK? WOMEN BEING EMPLOYED A*? Bill In Senate Hi* F a r-Rc ach ing Effect ? Chance of Pauing PRESENT PRACTICE IS HARDSHIP ON OTHERS Women Could Not Be Em ployed If Husbands Earn $100 per Month Senator Walter H. Powell, of Co lumbus tour.ty, has introduced a bill in the General Assembly to prohibit employment by the state, county, city, or town government of any woman whose husband is receiving as much as $100 a month from the state or from any other source. The bill is said to have fair prospects of pas sage. The bill is worded as follows: That it shall be unlawful for any public funds appropriated by the General Assembly or raised by tax levies in the several counties, cities, towns, or other municipal govern mental subdivisions of the state to be v ed or expanded in the employ mcii'. of, or payment of salaries to, an.' married woman whose husband is i- reiving a salary in excess of $100 per month out of any of said public fun . of tax levies, or from any other source." i TO RELIEVE UNEMPLOYMENT Senator Powell, explaning his po sition, said he was introducing this bill to relieve to some extent the un emplov -ont condition now existing in the stale." "It is not aimed at any person, of ficial. or department," the senator said, "but solely to do justice to a large number of deserving and needy widows, competent single women, and married men who have been deprived of their jobs on account of the de pression through no fault of theirs. "There are many of this class now in the state with needy dependents suffering for the lack of the real necessities of life. AM Y BE ECONOMY 'it may be considered an economy, measure, as it may not be necessary to fill some of the positions no\? held by married women and thus be of some saving to the state. "It has come to my intention since I have been in Raleigh that a most deserving widow of a distinguished official of the 3tate recently applied for a minor position in one of the de partments and was declined, while a number of married women were work ing in the same building. "As a matter of justice and fair ness. I hope the bill will not encount er any opposition." N, C. POULTRY AND . EGG STO BE FIRST Must Produce Genuine Article, However, If Plan Is Success There is no valid reason why North Carolina markets should buy a large part of their poultry and egg sup plies from outside of the State. Pres ent importations are large and there fore the opportunity exists for poul try growers to develop local markets in a profitable way. "Local growers ma> capture these markets ii they take the same pains as their competitors to produce a quality product and do a little judi cious advertising," says N. W. Wil liams, pou.it i-yniaii at State College. "It is most importan . however, to produce a quality proi . In market ing eggs, careful gradi is of utmost importance yet few of ivr local poul trymen pay any attei. ion to this. Therefore, they place 01. ..he market, eggs of a wide range in ize, shape, .-.hell-color, and shell te:. ure. Then too these mixed eggs go 1.1 any kind of container that may be handy. When these local eggs are placed side by side with those produced by the large out-of-state concerns, the lo cally grown product looks bad." It is not alone that the eggs must be^ packed in attractive containers and be well graded, they must also be consistently good, says the poultry man. They ought never to be over 48 hours old and preferably infertile. One bad egg slipped into a container by accident might ruin the trade of a .allied customer. Then, fresh eggs are used largely in the diet of babies and invalids. Those purchasing for s'.i'.'h purposes rightfully expect con sistency in products. The same fundamental reasoning applies to marketing broilers locally, says Mr. Williams. The grower must s' ri y the demands of his market and h : prices should also be studied. ? .uKavor to meet them. The season of iV : Ik-fed broilers, finished in good~ shape, when everyone else is not sell ing them, will return a good profit to any local poultryman. BOOKS DONATED TO U. D. C. BY ST.

WHEN A FELLER NEEDS A FRIEND, THEN IT IS THAT A FRIEND IS A FRIEND INDEED _____ If the midst of depressing periods there always come great compensa tions to those who keep on trying. The manner in which our spifendid subscribers are rallying to this news paper is one most enjoyable experi ences of the life of the paper. Our good subscribers seem io realize the iact that payment of their subscrip tion just now means much more to The Brevard News than at any other time in its history, and the fact that they respond so splendidly i3 all suf ficient to keep our hope at high tide. We have received letters from some of these good people, letters that cause genuine joy, in that the writ ers express profound regard for The Brevard News. We are taking the liberty of publishing a few of these . letters, and it may be that others will . be published from time to time. We are also publishing a list of the names of people who have sent in their subscriptions during the past few days. We want all of these good friends to know how deeply their . support is appreciated, and all oth- ' ers who are due us money on their paper will be performing a real act of friendship in making whatever payment they can at this time. We are proud of the following let ters and the list of names appearing below: FROM FLORIDA Editor The Newsr For some reason I have failed to receive my Brevard News for the past three or four issues. Do not think I have had one since the issue of December 11th. Please send them along, whatever is the trouble. If I am in arrears, please send bill and I will remit by return mail. I do not remember when my sub scription expires and there is no wrapper at hand to remind me, but I do not want to be without you/ in teresting and valuable * paper. I would rather have it for real news than half the dailies I take. Please note my address for the present is, J. M. CLARK, 252 Clematis Street, Sarasota, Florida. FROM MRS. CURTO The Brevard News J Enclosed find $1.00 for my sub scription. You have sent the paper six months or more that I have never FOUR MENN CAUGHT IN WILDCAT STILL Deputy Marshal J. M. Padgett and Prohibition Officer W. W. Owen cap tured a still and arrested four men last Saturday on Diamond Creek, the men being given a preliminary hear ing before United States Commis sioner A. E. Hampton Monday, all being bound over to the May term of Federal court . The men arrested were Willard Mc Call, Thos. M. Morrison, Elmer Mos ley and Mark Gilliam It is reported that the officers found the men at the still. Some sur prise was expressed that men would continue operations of liquor making so soon atter the general raid made ip.st week, when some forty people were arrested on charges of violating the liquor laws. One explanation offered was to the the effect that the men felt safe, it being believed that she officers would not return to 'this county for some time, after the gen eral clean-up of last week. But that theory proved to be wrong, and, judging from remarks that have been heard in semi-official circles, the end is not yet. Making -.1 ' whiskey in the western counties is rapidly developing into a hazardous business. HELP TO MAKE THINGS HUM! Of course times are hard, There's no use to say they ain't, But it's no use, Pard, For us to raise a complaint. For it will not help Better time: to come, To just sit and yelp, Instead of making things hum. If the time spent in sighing For the days of old Were spent in trying For some worth while goal, It might not cause a boom But it would help some ? Let's demand more room, And make things hum! To sit around and wish We had some fish for dinner Will never catch a fish Nor even a minnow. And let's not sit and sigh For better times to come, But a better plan let's try: Let's make things hum.

Churche* To Hear Special Ser-| | mow Throughout Nation Next Sunday, Urging Members To Support Prohibition In Every Way? Other Meetings Planned Washington, D. C., Jan. 14. ? A proclamation issued in the name of the National Conference of Organiz ations Supporting the Eighteenth Amendment, representing 33 nation al temperance bodieB, which includes practically all the national temper-, ance groups, both large and small, calls upon the pastor of the churches of all denominations to observe the eleventh anniversary of the Eight eenth Amendment on January 16, by preaching appropriate sermons, and that local committees be urged to cel ebrate this anniversary by mass meetings, luncheons and dinners to be addressed by prominent officials or other leaders, and that literature, charts, arid bulletins be distributed to those who attend these gatherings. The proclamation also urges radio broadcasts wherever possible. The creation of a commission on strategy at the recent meeting of the National Conference of Organizations supporting the Eighteenth Amend ment, marks a very definite and sig nificant move toward closer coopera tion and united action of the prohi bition forces of the nation. A subcommittee of this commission, meeting in Washington on the 7th- of January, has indicated that there will be an important meeting of the com mittee on the 19th of January and that the national Conference of 0 1 ganizations Supporting the Eight eenth Amendment will be called in session on the 23rd of February, in* the City ol Washington, to receive the complete report of the commis sion, and to act thereon. | There is every indication that ?the efforts of this special commission and ? the action which is expected to be I taken by the 33 different" national temperance organizations will result in a united effort and closer copera tion such as has never before been known among the temperance organ izations in the United States. The i purpose of this new cooperative ef fort, as announced by the president or the National Conference, is not merely to meet the attacks of the or ganized forces opposed to prohibition but more especially* to promote a great forward movement in the in terest of the Eighteenth Amendment, its observance and enforcement. The conference strongly endorsed the stand of President Hoover for ? law enforcement, arranged for a pro gram for suitable celebration of Jan uary 16th, the anniversary of the I Eighteenth Amendment, heard and auestioned Prohibition Commissioner i Woodcock on the present status of on i - forcement, and discussed ways and I means of more effective, organized effort on behalf of the movement against alcoholism. The conference urged the prompt enactment by Congress of the ap propriation bills for various phases of enforcement of prohibition, includ ing the retention of the appropria tion for distribution of information by governmental departments en gaged in prohibition enforcement, and also the enactment of the various bills recommended by the Presdent, January 13, 1930, for the more expe ditious trial of cases, the organiza tion of a Border Patrol, and the en actment of a prohbiition enforcement code for the District of Columbia. The Conference placed itself on rec ord as opposed to all bills intended to modify or weaken any federal prohibition enforcement law. One of the most important pro nouncements of the National Confer ence of Organizations Supporting the Eighteenth Amendment is the follow ing resolution, definitely opposing ev ery sort of resubmission, referendum or any other movement directed to ward the repeal of or weakening of the Eighteenth Amendment: "The Eighteenth Amendment was adopted by the orderly process of government. It could be repealed on ly by the same orderly processes. There is no provision for a referen dum under the Federal Constitution. The American form of government established by the Constitution is representative government of the 'people through the sovereign states associated for the common good. 'Having won the Eighteenth Amend ment, there is no occasion for the dry forces to join in any movement by referendum or other process for its repeal. , "Believing as we do in the Eight eenth Amendment and the laws pur suant thereto as the best governmen tal policy yet devised for dealing with the liquor problem, we are def initely and unequivocally opposed First ? To the submission of . any amendment which would weaken or repeal in whole or in part Amend ment Eighteen, or to any national referendum thereon as contrary to the American principle of represent ative government. Second ? To the submission of any part of this nation al constitutional policy to either a binding or a non-binding referendum which would tend either directly or indirectly to weaken or nullify the said prohibition amendment. Third ?

This being the first game of each team, a great many subatitutions were made on both team, and with the freoh material coming on all the time, the playing was fast and fur- * ious.
