BEAUTIFUL APPEAL I BY MR. WAMBOLDT Tell* of Shattered Bodies oS Mea Who Warded Off Dan ger from American Heme* ~ By W1CKES WAMBOLDT (From Asheville Timet Sept, 25 1931) Some years ago one of the moit prominent capitalist in Wall Street was in his, private office with hi* sec retary when, the door opened Md a rough-looking cian aritb a wild glare in his eyes stepped in. The man held a package in one hand, which he rais ed alcove his head. "Give me $10,000," he shouted to the capitalist, "or I'll Wow you to pieces. .1 have a bomb here in my hand,"" The capitalist jumped behind his secretary and held onto him tightly, keeping the secretary between himself and the man with the bomb. The crazy intruder ? for crazy he undoubtedly was ? hurled the bomb. It exploded. -The capitalist's secre tary got the force of it He was shattered for life. But the capitalist j was unharmed. The body of his sec retary had shielded him from the t blast. ' 1 Disabled, the secretary later asked the capitalist to grant him enough to ' live on, and the capitalist refused. He I was notorious as one of the world's I stingiest men. ~l shall not name him, for he is dead now, and his widow t has done her best to redeem his rep- i utation. But he refused to help the i man whose body had protected him < t'rom the tearing force of the expold- i ing bomb. The crippled secretary sued for ( $20,000. The capitalist, adoring his t miserable money, used expert attor- 1 neys, more selfish than ethical, to 1 keep the case, from ever coming to ] trial. The physically wrecked secre- t tary died before he could get a judi- j cial decision., Sonx? twelve or fifteen years ago we seized men and thrust them be- 1 tween us and -the shells and bullets f of the German army. Some of these e men were disabled for life. They c haven't asked ns for much. But they c are going to make a slight request v of us. They are going to ask us if we c won't buy a poor, pitiful little flower s ? for any sum that we see fit to give e that they may this winter have coal t and food and clothing and shelter for f themselves and their dependent loved u ones. t What are we going to do about it? ; f " J * Pisgah Forest News | n i I 1 ?

IN IlEMORY OF TWO Members of Masonic Lodge Who Did During Past Year ' Are'Gfon Remembrance tt was a jtemn- moment in the big homecoming meeting of Dunn's Rock Masonic Loge when the name* of A. H. King and W. M. Aiken were called. Thes brothers had passed away since t; previous home-coming event, and tfcir absence cast a shad ow over the imual meeting. Mr. King had been espcially active in Masonic affairs, while Mr. Aiken, who had fceen an inva(d, kept up his interest in theaffairsof the fraternity Mr. King's ove of Masonry, how- I ever, was magiified in the manner in j which his widw and son contributed . to the success of the meeting. Mrs. i King and her son, Frank, prepared ' much of the diner that was so pleas- i antly enjoyed Jby those attending, and | some of the lasons remarked that "Mammy's Kitihen," owned by young Mr. King, waaengaged a full day in preparation of the dinner. The lodge gave an esp?cal vote of thanks to Mrs. King spd Mr. Frank King, t ind some of he older members were ; heard to renark that "Doc"' King would have li;ed nothing better than :o see his pejple contributing to the pleasure and success of a Masonic ! jathering. The following resolutions were| idopted, ordred spread upon the' ninutes of tie Lodge, while copies > vere to be gven to the* press and | )thers sent t^ members of the fam- j lies: WHEREAS it has pleased the : Jreat Architet of the Universe to | :ake from ou1 order since our last lomecoming, air beloved friends and >rothers, W.

Prof. Julian Glazener, instructor of ] 'ocational Agriculture in the Bre ard Hi^ch Schools led his entire j roup of students to the field on a ; ecent afternoon and they aided in the fork whole-heartedly.

LEADING JN IS ED The popular belief that it is not /ise to read while in a reclining pos tion is on ? which is correctly founded nd substantiated by science. Both he light used as well as ^the matter eing read arc thus placed in a trained and unnatural position; the ead and neck are usually propped orward and the return flow of blood rom the head and eyes is impeded. It is easy to observe that nature ntended man to use his brain (the yes are a part of the brain) while he a in an upright position, and if he .ttempts to read or think while lying [own the l.rain becomes quickly mud lied and overflowed with blood. This xplains why so many people have icquired the habit of "reading them elves to sleep." The use of the eyes for reading or lose work requires much more exert on than one is usually aware of, and vhen a body is sufficiently fatigued lo that it must retire to bed, it has io energy to spare for the pleasant pastime of reading. This brings us ;o another point, namely, reading in >ed by those who are recuperating ox recovering from some illness. Many cases of over taxed eye ?nussles resulting in abnormal eye :onditions, difficult of correction and irery incomfortable, and continually Deing found among those who have passed the time, during and after an illness, in reading, little realizing that the act of reading while in a weakened condition might result in permanent injury to the eyes.

English of Pisgah Forest, returned to their home in New York City last Thursday. Mr. Thompson is a lawy er and so is his wife. Mr. Thompson specializes in corporation law. Mrs. Thompson recently resigned as Assis tant United State Attorney for the Southern District of New York Mr. and Mrs. English, Mrs. Viola Burleson Loughride and her young nephew, Charles Mayb^rry, of Spruce Pine, accompanied the Thompsons as far as Asheville. When interviewed, Mr. Thompson, who was recuperating after a long illness succeeding two majgr opera tions at Mission Hospital in Asheville, said he attributed his improvements largely to the curative- properties of the famous "Champagne Spring-' on the English place. The springrls sup posed to contain .iodine. It will be remembered that a re cent newspaper artifcle described Mr. English as the "master farmer of TransyWania County." The English farm lies along French Broad river in a fertile valley where the yield, par ticularly of corn, is'unusual, due as much perhaps to Mr. English's meth ods of farming as to the richness of the soil. Transylvania County is not ?d for its productive farm lands, es pecially along the French Broad Riv ?r, its good fishing, the wonderful J amount of game, being supplied from the Great Pisgah National forest and it is known as "The Land of Water falls." Many citizens here have been urg ing Mr. English to induce Mr. and Mrs. Thompson to establish a home here for at least a portion of their time. It is known that their coming here would be instrumental in bring ing many other people to this com munity, because of the wide influence )f the New York lawyers. There is i probability that the Thompsons will Jo so, and become identified with fransylvania county. Revenue collections of the state for ;he general fund in October were 5665,258.15 greater than in October, 1930 and highway collections were 5357,677.30 greater than for the same period in 1930. All, in all in the col iections were unusually fine and A. J. Maxwell in making his report said, 'They look pretty good.'" Star. Midnight came and "wow, 'Vow, ivow" and another "wow" came from the baby. "Four bawls and I walk," jroaned the baseball player daddy as he slid out of bed. METHODISTS BUSY CLOSING THE YEAR With Annual Conference convening in Asheville on November 11, mem -bf.Ts cf the Brevard Methodist church , are facing the task this week of wind- ; ing up the year's financial budget of the church, a task that is calling for , much work among the leaders of the ? j congregation. \ I Meeting Monday evening at the { ! church, members cf the Board of ] [Stewards and the paator, the Rev. J- j jH. West, expressed an optimistic view . I of the .condition of the local church, ' jand declared- that if every supporter j (of the church would do his or her , part this week, the financial barrier , would be overcome. , Thursday evening of this week at ? '7:30 the fourth quarterly conference j i wil be held, with Rev. D. M. Litaker . I presiding. All members of the church , (and especially all officers of the va- J jrious departments are expected to be , present. J A young lady, finding herself stranded in a small village a few 1 weeks ago, asked one of the inhabi- ' tants where she might spend the j ! night. i "There aint no hotel here," re- I j plied the man, "but you can sleep with i the station agent." "Sir!" exclaimed the flapper, "111 | have you to know that I'm a lady." I That's all right," answered the | man. "So is the station agent." "All this talk about back-seat driv ing is bunk. I've driven a car for .'ten years and I've never had a word ' I from behind." } "What sort of car?" "A hearse." l ? PRESIDENT PRAiSEi WORK OF VETERANS That the service rendered by the Disabled American Veterans is a nec essary adjunct to the administration ot governmental benefits in provid-. ing for the rehabilitation of disabled ex -service men Is attested in a letter written by President Herbert Hoover to Mr. E. Claude Babcock, National Commander of the D. A. V., in which President Hoover expresses the desire that the Forget-Me-Not Day appeal which is to be conducted by the D. A. V. in all the larger cities and towns In North Carolina, as well as through Mtt the nation,_will be generously re sponded to by the public. The Presi ient's letter is as follows: The work of the Disabled American Veterans in relieving distress amongst :hos? still suffering from the effects >f war service is most praiseworthy, and I trust that your annual Forget Me-Not Campaign will bring forth a generous response from the public. Critics who accuse him of* reract ing from his position as shown in the message he sent Governor Sterling. ?f Texas, for concerted "legislation," ire answered that he suggested "un iform aetion," not legislation, and with the statement that three states have adopted he Texas plan, two the Louisiana plan and others have done nothing. Mr. E. Claude Babcock, National Commander, D. A. V. of W. W., 2840 Melrose Avenue, Cincinnati, 0. My dear Commander Babcock: mi __i f i.1 r\; l_1 i i ! Yours faithfully, Herbert Hoover.
