Queer Ways Trucks
Operate On Roads
The Herald of that city says
Spartanburg had an illustration of
the truth that the truck Is more
powerful than the cannon when a
truck pushed a big gun at the Mor
gan monument from its pedestal
last week. The truck wasn't to j
blame. It probably was merely fol
lowing the custom of trucks to cut I
corners as closely as possible and to |
hog (he roads.
The point may be illustrated by
this incident in a newspaper office:'
An enthusiastic reporter rushed to!
the city editor's desk with the
statement that at last he had aj
piece of real news—a truck driver'
got stuck in the mud on the side of
the road. i
“And what is so unusual about!
that?” asked the editor.
“Well, you see,” was the reply, j
“the truck driver pulled over to let!
an automobile pass."
The automobilist will appreciate
tlie story. No matter whether he j
travels on the highways of South I
, Carolina or those of other states he!
knows that trucks have a way of
making him take the siding.
Therefore, when a truck comes
into town, fresh from the highways
where it has had its own sweet
will, it is but natural that it should
expect cannons, monuments and
other things to get out of its way.
It is not unusual to sec great
metal-covered trucks parked on the
streets of this city, while the drivers
are enjoying a cup of coffee and a
piece of pie in a nearby restaurant,
their armored bodies extending far
Into the street, leaving barely
enough space for cautious drivers
to pilot their cars around it.
Railroads Make New
Rate To World Fair
Tile railroads of the entire coun-!
try, according to a formal announce !
ment made by the Seaboad Air Line
Railway have adopted a new’ low-!
rate plan for the convenience of:
visitors to Chicago's Century of'
Progress Exposition. whereby a j
prospective visitor may purchase,!
before he leaves home, his hotel ac-!
commodations in Chicago, his trans j
fer from the railroad station to his j
hotel and back again, tickets of
admission to the Exposition, and a
sightseeing tour of the city. Every
thing but meals is included in thl«
new plan which combines the sev
eral advantages of lower prices to
the visitor and of relieving him of
any inconvenience in securing his
hotel accommodations, and of en
abling him to know before he leav
es home just what his trip will cost.
These "visits” to the Century of!
Progress will be sold at every rail
road station in the United States
They will allow stays in Chicago of,
from one day up to five days or
more. The prospective visitor will
have his choice of 27 first-class ho

At last, the answer to the musical query “How High Is the Sky?” seems about to be answered, for no less
than four expeditions are scheduled to go aloft this Summer to find out. The goal of the expeditions is the
little-known region, the stratosphere, which already has been penetrated on two occasions by Professor
Auguste Piccard, Belgian scientist. But the professor thinks he can do better on a third attempt, to he plans
to go again. The second stratosphere explorer is Professor Max Cosyns, former assistant to Piccard, who
accompanied the latter on the flight at Zurich last year, when they gained an altitude of 10 miles. On that
occasion Piccard and Cosyns differed at to how the research work should be conducted. The result of the
argument ia that Cosyns will make his own flight this year under the auspices of the Belgian Scientific Re
search Department, He will take off from a little village near Brussels late in June or early in July. Not
to be outdone by “capitalistic nations," Soviet Russia is running an expedition. A special stratosphere bal
loon is even now being constructed at Mocow for a flight under the banner of the Soviet Air Technical Bu
reau of the Leningrad Osoaviakhim. It will probably be piloted on the stratosphere trip by P. F. Fedo
seenko, one of the Soviet’s most brilliant airmen. The United States, too, is in the running. Lieutenant Com
mander T. G. W. Settle, U. S. N., America’s foremost balloonist and winner of the International balloon race,
has received permission from the U. S. Navy to make an attempt to penetrate the stratosphere, and con
struction work on a special balloon and gondola for the purpose is scheduled to begin immediately at Akron,
Ohio. Commander Settle plans to make his ascent from the grounds of the Chicago Century of Progress
Exposition ' Julv.

Holland Solves
One Farm Worr)
Pork Allotment Plan To Work B;
The Dutch Government That
Is Paving: Out.
While congress is wrestling wit]
allotment features in the farm re
lief bill the production and market
ing of pork products on the basis o
diis plan has actually been put in
to operation by the government o
Holland.
This Dutch plan was enacted in
to law tcs save the pork busines;
major meat-producing industry o
that thrifty little nation. The crtsi
was brought, about by the genera
world, economic depression followei
by Great Britain's tariff on import
of bacon, nearly all of which come
from Holland.
No pork products may be market
ed except from animals tagged h
the government. This tag system
makes possible all the regulations
and restrictions that are now prov
r ing to be the salvation of pork pro
duction in that country. It makes
r possible the production of fewer and
better pigs, one of tly laws object
ives, thereby maintaining profitable
prices.
I Administration is handled by the
■ government’s "pig central’’ made up
■ of representatives of the industry
t appointed by the minister of agri
• culture. Under this supervision is a
E board in each of the 11 Dutch prov
inces, the members elected by the,
■ pork producers. Under the provinc
, ial boards are district organizations!
f of hog raisers representing about
s 3,500 hots in each one.
1| On reaching 32 pounds every pig
II intended for market must pass gov
i emment standards and is then tag
> ged. Production is held down to the
needs of the market by the issuance
- of tags. The only outlet for un*at
’ «ed pigs is home consumption The.
tag system prevents market gluts
not only by limiting production but
by regulating the flow to market.
The plan is working for the Dutch
farmers but they are more used to
co-operative effort than are their
American brethren who don't like
to be told how much of anything
they may produce and when to sell
it. To make a plan like that work
over here might be an entirely dif
ferent problem.

Racing Bill Is .
Pushed Over By;'
Stover Dunagan <
Senator From This District Has No s
Apology To Make About Horse -j
Racing Measure.
Raleigh, May 7.—Ignoring thej j.
vigorous protest of J. Wallace Win-{
borne, chairman of the state Dem-,
ocratic executive committee and a;
resident of Marion, the town most;
affected by the act, the general as-1
sembly Thursday enacted into law
the bill that paves the way for leg-1
alized gambling on horse races in
McDowell county, y
It was ratified by presiding offi- f
cers in the senate and house short
ly after the former body had turn
ed its back on a motion to recall
the measure from the enrolling of- 1
flee for reconsideratoin of the vote
by which it passed the senate on
Wednesday.
The proposal was rejected. 18 to
13, without a roll call vote.
It was made by Senator Joseph s
Bell, of Henderson, who read a tele- 1
gram from Chairman Winborne p
asking him to do all in his power to a
defeat the measure and terming It
a “monumental mistake.”
Senator Bell s motion elicited the
opposition of Senator Stover P. -
Dunagan, of Rutherford, his collea
gue. Both represent the twenty
seventh senatorial district, in which
McDowell is located.
Upon Senator Dunagans motion,
the measure, introduced by Repres
entative Will Neal, of McDowell,
was passed by the senate Wednes
day under suspension of rules.
"I have no apologies to make
either to this body or to the news
papers,” said Senator Dunagan in
opposing the Bell proposal and re
ferring to his championship of tire
bill. “I'm personally fond of horse
racing and I think a race-track as
provided by this bill would be of
benefit not only to McDowell coun
ty but to the whole of Western
North Carolina."
He told his colleagues that short
ly before he had received a num
ber of telegrams of opposition from
McDowell residents, one of which
stated that “75 percent of the peo
ple of McDowell countv oppose this
I
bill.”
"If that many people are opposed
to It there would be no reason at all
for recalling the bill,” asserted Sen
ator Dunagan, pointing out that its
provision allowing pari mutuel bet- -
ting on races could not be consum
mated unless a majority of the vot
ers of McDowell county wanted it.
The Neal measure bore the inno
cent caption of "A bill to be entitled
an act creating an agricultural and
breeders' association for the county
of McDowell on approval of the vot
ers of said county.”
A similar bill, involving Bun
combe county, was defeated by the
1931 general assembly.
The only avenue left open for op
ponents of the Neal measure is in
troduction of a bill to repeal it.
