THE LINCOLN TIMES Staggering Sum la Tabulated By Government As Loss Os Business Washington, Nov. 13.—A stagger ing $2(5,031,000,000 was tabulated by the government today as the depres sion’s cost to business. The Commerce department report ed this sum had been taken out of savings to make up the difference between expenses and the value of goods and services produced. It not ed that a marked improvement in 1934 failed to prevent another loss. Last year’s production of goods and services was valued at $48,561,- 000,000, a gain of $6,672,000,000 over 1933. ' This value, however, was insuf ficient for expenses. Business had to draw down $1,628,000,000 from surpluses and other savings in order to meet wage, dividend, interest and ether outlays. The .two figures together repre sent national income “paid out” or $50,1ft9,000,000. This is the amount usually cited in statistics as oortray ing the number of dollars actually distributed throughout the nation.

President Asks People to Give Support to Red Cross Washington, Nov. 13.—Support of the Red Cross “as our great national relief agency” was urged today by President Roosevelt. In an Armistice Day statement marking the beginning of the or ganization’s annual roll call, which will be concluded Thanksgiving Day, the President said; “The American Red Cross is an institution in which our people in every walk of life and in every section of the nation can unite in a common tie of brotherhood. It rep resents them in their instinctive de sire to be of service to suffering humanity. It knows no distinction of race, creed, or color. There are no - boundary lines, either State or national, in its never-ending mis sion of mercy for those who are in distress. “During the last year, 128 disas ters occurred in 87 of our States. Rules and Regulations Are Given For Fourth Annual Tournament The fourth annual elementary basketball championship series, cul minating with a tournament next spring at the expiration of a 15- game schedule, will be held again this year with 12 of the leading schools of Lincoln county participat ing. The schools entering have been divided into two sections, designated as the Eastern Division and the Western Division. The schedule will get underway Tuesday of next week, November 19. The time of games will be the same as last year, sche duler for each Tuesday at 2:30 P. M. This hour enable schools operating busses to lessen the difficulty ex perienced in past years when it was found necessary to hold up the reg ular afternoon schedule until the contests were over. The entries this year are the same as for the past year, and an unusual ly close and exciting schedule will in all probability be reeled off since there appears to be no outstanding teams to make a walk-away of the race. The following rules and schedule were adopted by the committee chos en at a recent meeting of the ele mentary principals and coaches: Rule 1. RULES—AII contestants shall abide by the 1935-36 official rules. Rule 2. ELIGIBILITY—Any bona fide grammar grade pupil not taking any high school work (one high school subject disqualifies a player). (Continued on back page) In each catastrophe the afflicted community turned with assurance to the Red Cross for the efficient relief which was so speedily given. During the same time this great or ganization has developed a country wide program for safeguarding our homes and our highways from the mounting toll of accidental deaths. “Each year, at this time, the Red Cross appeals to our people for the support which will enable it to continue its service to humanity. Each American everywhere is giv en an opportunity to participate in Red Cross work—local and national —thro’igh individual membership. “It is of the utmost importance that we maintain the Red Cross as cur great national relief agency. I earnestly urge all who can possibly do so to respond generously and promptly to the Red Cross ap peal.” TWO FLYERS RISE FOURTEEN MILES IN STRATOSPHERE Americans, Using World’s Largest Balloon, Break All Official Records White Lake, S. D., Nov. 13. A gentle landing by the world’s larg est balloon in a field near here late Monday successfully ended man’s most sensational venture into the heights of the stratosphere—to an 1 unofficially recorded altitude of 14 miles. Two American army flyers, Cap tains Albert W. Stevens and Orvil A. Anderson if later calibrations sustain their barometric computa tions of 74,000 feet as zenith of their soaring—returned to America the world’s altitude record and brought back from the high un known valuable additions to sci ence's knowledge of the superatmo sphere. Their epic feat, climaxing a six week’s wait for favorable weather and compensation for two previous disappointments on their part, mov c7l smoothly to its climax after the rocky wa 1 of their camp base was cleared—by only 50 feet—at 8 o’clock (central standard time) this morn ing. Landed 240 Miles Away They landed at 4:13 p. m. (central standard time) after eight hours and 13 minutes ot adventure which thrill ed a world, some 240 miles to the west and north of their camp near Rapid City, S. D. "Not a scratch,'" wSs the com ment from the field about a dozen miles from here when the two climbed out of the gondola. If record checkers sustain their 74.000 foot figure, it will mean that Stevens and Anderson surpassed by some 2,000 feet the hitherto un equalled—but never officially rec ognized—record claimed for three Soviet airmen whose venture last year ended in their deaths.

All were sons and daughters of Mr. and Mrs. J. Hubert Cunningham who escaped with njinor burns. Those who perished in the flames were: Robert, 19; Thomas, 15; Nel lie, 12; Louise, 7; Grace, 10; Juanita, 4; Jack, 2. and Ruth, one year old. Funeral services were being held this afternoon at a Gastonia mortuary, with burial in two graves in tha cemetery of Long Creek Memorial Baptist church, near Dallas. The fire occurred about 1:15 o’clock yesterday morning and its origin has not been determined. The house was located in Gaston county, and Gaston authorities who investigated said no irquest was necessary. Following is a part of the story of the fire published in yesterday's Gastonia Gazette: Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham escaped through the back door and were helpless to heat wav t'-rough the walls ot- flamer, tjia. Happed their children in their beds and char red them almost literally to ashes, according to a report of the occur rence obtained at the scene of the fire this morning from Clyde W.

The Cun. ningham farm home was about two miles from Alexis, on a country road between Aiexis and High Shoals. Origin of the blaze was undeter mined.

Seven of the children were asleep in one bedroom all but the yrungest child, Ruth, one year old, "h° sleeping with her par ents. Reports were to the effect she, too, was so completely sur rounded by flames as to make rescue unpossible. Mr. Burke, brother-in-law of Mrs. Cunningham, said she said that she saw Robert, 19, the oldest boy, on his hands and knees, evidently trying to crawl out of the burning bedroom. She also saw Grace by a sewing meehine in the room, it was said, but furious flames burst into her face when she attempted to enter the blazing room to save the children. Employas of Carothers and Set tlemyer, Gastonia undertaking firm, removed the charred bodies from the fire-wreck ruins of the house this morning.
