Money has been pledged for the purpose of building a "lodge on the reservation as soon as its construction can be fitted into the plans for developing the property, Mr. Allen stated. He also informed the gathering that $2,000 had been spent by the council in operating the camp at the reservation this past summer, Two features of Scouting, Judge Jarvis told the assembled Scout ers, had impressed -him during his 21 years of connection with the Scout movement in this area. The first of these, he said, was that "In everything it does, in all its ideals, Scouting is positive.

Mrs. Lucile Foy is president of the club, and Mrs. Troy Wyche is chairman of the ways and means committee. Music lovers, regardless of their -a-tes, have a treat in store for them.-. A brilliant production, musically and dramatically, it serves as an excellent vehicle with which to in troduce Miss Stevens, Hollywood's newest singing . star, who comes to the screen from the Metropoli tan opera. M-G-M has drawn from the pop ular Oscar Straus numbers, from opera and from classics, embellish ed with new and modern arrange- i ments, to round out a musical re pertoire for Eddy and Miss Stev ens that is air-embracing. The story revolves about a mar ried couple who are the musical comedy toasts of Vienna. The suc cess they enjoy on the stage is, unfortunately, not repeated in their marital life for Miss Stevens, cast as Maria, is a flirtatious wench, and Eddy, as Karl, is a husband consumed by jealous. It is not i.ntil Karl hits upon the resource of masquerading as his own rival that he is able to test his wife's faithfulness , ,a test which is ob viously fraught with hilarious complications. A well-rounded cast is seen in support of the stars. Reaction Of .ocaI Citizens Vary (Continued rroqi pace 1) of how brave Mrs. George Coble was during the World Wax with five sons, and a daughter in the service, the latter with the U. 8. Nursing Corps in France. Sheriff Root V. Welch "I am afraid people generally do not realise how serious the situation is, nor the strength of Japan." New Banking Laws Designed To Help American Citizens Get From Under Debt E. L. Withers "We will whip Japan, but I am afraid it will take us longer than we now realise, and we will lose a lot of ships and men before it is over." T. J. Cathey "Although we suf fered a heavy and humiliating de feat in the first round of the war with Japan, our tradition is that we will come back for more and continue to do so until victory is ours, not only over Japan, but her axis partners.' J. Frank Ferguson, Jr. "We are lucky to have England and Russia to help us fight Japan, and Germa ny. Had England fallen we would have had to fight both alone.' Miss Mary Medford "It has been refreshing and encouraging how the people of America have responded and rallied to the cause of their . country and also the results of the Good neighbor pol icy in South America. ( Nature knows how to fix things. The bold and daring can go get theirs while the meek can inherit. T. M. Seawell "I think we will be in the war six years or more, and that we will win if we have to starve to do so, but it will mean the utter destruction of Japan, and that China will come into her own. Europe will be the big problem in the matter of realienation, and Russia will be the world's biggest question.' Cruso School Is "Dental Fit", Says Dr. A. C.

Eailv. dentist of the district health department,, pointed out to Rotaiians last week, that the Sruso school as the model health school, and 100 per cent "dentist fit." "With 98 ner cent of the 200 students brushing their teeth daily. and the finest group of teachers I have ever worked with, I would put the school up against any, he said as he told of the response the school had made to the health program. Paul Grogan is prin cipal of the school. Dr. Early was also warm in his praise, of the Bethel girls for their health program and especially their monthly bulletin. The health program has a ma jor place in each grade of the Cruso school, he said, a he told of the work each grade was doing. The experiments with white rats have resulted in the children bring ing wholesome lunches instead of candv and cake. Today each child is served a hot lunch, he pointed out - Careful study by the students of the growth of the white rats fed on candy, cake and white bread as compared to the ones fed on whole some diets. During the Thanksgiving holi days the rats broke out of the cage. and got into the food box. The cake, white bread and candy was not touched, while the wholewheat bread and lettuce were consumed during the four-day holiday, he ex plained. The seventh grade girls are taught fundamentals of nursing, and have equipped a room with first aid necessities. W. Roy Francis and Charles O. Miller were introduced to the club as new members. They were wel comed by Thos. M. Seawell. Welfare Office To Handle Calls For Cheer Funds The county welfare department will handle calls from persons in the community who wish to provide Christmas cheer lor tne neeoy families in the county. The Salva Hon A rmv will also assist In the work of caring lor and oiBtnounng baskets of food and Christmas cheer. "'.."; Mrs. Sam Queen! . county wel fare officer, ia compiling a list of the neediest cases, as has been the custom of the welfare department for several vears. In the nast. The Mountaineer has taken charge of the list and the calls have been answered in this office, but since those wishing to assume the responsibility of Christ mas cheer for the needy famines, have in turn, had to get in touch with the welfare department, it was thought best to have them contact directly the department. It is understood that already persons have been making Inquir ies about the list and that the civic btouds of the community are do natinir funds for the Christmas cheer as in other years. and so on down the list It says, A Scout is loyal, a Scout is trust worthy'. If a boy is a Scout, he is these things. If he isn't these things, he isnt a " Scout". He stated that a Scout was seldom n difficulty or in the juvenile court. Judge Jarvis went on to say, 'Another feature is the Scout pro- ri am of training and its effect On boys. It does something to them hat, I would not say slows them down, but gives them a poise and elf control when split second de cisions are very important." He stated that he knew there was no eed to sell Scouting to his audi ance and said, "We need only pause 1 moment to realize how import wt this work is, particularly at this time. We are going to need man power; we are going to need boys and men to replace the men who are going to be lost." In con clusion, Judge Jarvis quoted a Chinese saying which has grown J. T. Reitael "It has done more to unite the American people over night than anyone could have Im agined. It suddenly opened our eyes to the things that our nation al leaders have been trying to tell us for months. It will take several weeks of hard fighting to regain the advantage that Japan has on us now." Besides fighting a war and pro viding food and armament supplies for allies our Federal Government has not overlooked the welfare of the million people in the United States. Through the Emergency Act of 1917. President Roosevelt has del egated very wide powers to the Federal Reserve System ana tne Treasury Department in supervi sion of the financial affairs 01 tne various individuals. The government, through exec utive order, has had issued by the Federal Reserve System, Regula tion "W," which tends to control consumer credit The gist of this regulation in plain words is to lessen the demand for durable goods in order to enable our industriea to devote the majority of their energy toward producing national defense At the same time it will help curb unwarranted price advances and inflationary tendencies. It will also create a back-log of demand for consumers' durable goods and will further aid the debt structure of the individual by not having him burdened with excessive instal ment payments when the defense program is concluded. Jonathan Woody, president of the First National Bank, attended 1 conference last Friday and Satur day in Greensboro, where the Treas ury and Federal Reserve officials interpreted the rulings of Regula tion "W." Approximately four hundred bankers of this state were in attendance. In discussing the new regulation with a representative of The Moun taineer, Mr. Woody stated that in his opinion it would work for the benefit fit all concerned and in only rare instances would it exact un due hardships Special consider ation is given in the rearula ation of obligations of farmers, as well as necessitous cases. It ia understood that it was fur ther brought out at the conference of bankers that approximately seven billion dollars of "foreign funds deposited in this country by Laughs at Taxes fi tV :":-V- vi V i-K iv " ''. ' v. At v - I Mrs. W. A. Bradley "I think it is terrible, but I am sure that the American people will stand by and come out victorious." Miss Almarle Robinson "I don't see how we could have stayed out of war with Japan, for it could not have been avoided. It might have happened sooner. I think it will draw the American people closer together, and we will be sure to win," ;";!, Alphonse La PI ante, 27 months old.

All financial transactions of un friendly foreigner and suspUious citisens will be und r constant sur veillance by the banks. Th regulation is very explicit in regard to the penalty for any vio lation which provides a fine of $10,000.00 or ten years in prison, or both. The penalty will be ap plicable to the borrower as well as the lender if false statement are issued. American smokers are said to have sjnoked a half billion Ave cent oiars last year. That doesn't include us. Ours Were "two-fora." Dorothy E. W. Green "I am ready to do my bit anything I can do to help." Gene Medford (high school student) "Japan really hit us in the back, and if they wanted war they should not have sent an am bassador to Washington in the name of peace, but on the other hand we have worried Japan for years, as they wanted their part of the world to themselves."
