The power plant of the Northwest Carolina Utilities, Inc., at Marshall, was put out of commission and pow er had to be generated by engines at Marshall and Burnsville. Water al most covered the Island fi'ling the basement of the school building and causing the suspension of the school for a day. There was some property damage on the south side of the riv er.

Hendricks, who.., has ably represented Madison groups. Twenty-two .National or- ganizatins are supporting it which in clude the National Education Asso ciation, National Congress of Parents and Teachers, American Home Eco nomics Association, American Le gion, General Federation of Women's Cffu-bs, American Association of Uni versity Wome and the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. The Child Labor Amendment to the United States Constitution is an enabling act, which would give Con gress the specific power to enact child labor legislation. It is PER MISSIVE, not prohibitory. It is not itself a law, and-its ratification will not remove a single child from work of any kind, since the nature of the regulations to be adopted is left en tirely to legislative enactment. The Amendment is: Section 1. The Congress shall have power to 'imit, regulate and pro hibit the labor of persons under 18 years of age. Section 2. The power of the sev- eral states is unimpaired by this ar- extent necessary to give effect to legislation enacted by the Congress. ' ratification will not COMPEL Congress to pass any law. but wiM onlyf apow it to do so, without pre scribing the details properly left to a statute. By being thus confined to a simple1 grant of power without rigid specifications as to how that Dower shftin4 Exercised, the Chid Labor A mendmeiit escapes the difficulties px- perienoj&d1 with the Eighteenth or Town of Marsha)J, that none of the remainder of the island should ever "be used for anv Dumose that nmu'ri in any wise be detrimental to the school. As a matter of fact the school virtually owns the whd:e island. Since it seems the policy of the government of the United States to spend money .for the purpose of e recting . buildings and community houses for high schools like thst at White Bock, and I believe Hot Springs has also been favored with such a building, it is the hope and. wish of the Civitan Club of Marshall OFFICE STOPPED County Commissioners AbeGdi Home Demonstration Agent's Office In Madison The Board of Countv Com missioners in 'regular session Monday abolished the office of Home Demonstration Agent ia Madison County.

The best results can and will be ac complished by normal processes and gradual adjustments of our present pri i vate banking structure suitably super vised by proper authority rather than by the passage of still more drastic laws, offering panaceas In the form of more government-owned or civern-ment-controlled financial organisations. The Basil of Good Laws - Lcstiug laws relating to any phasn 01 tiur.ian need are formed and modelled In the rough school of practical human experience and are usually the result of sound evolutionary processes rather than of sudden Impulses to change r. damental principles. If we analyze the new banking pic ture which has developed during the past eighteen months, we cannot help but arrive at the conclusion that evo lutlonary changes which have taken place Id banking, and the economic life of the nation of which It Is a part, have justified much of the banking legtsla tion recently passed.
