ALLEGHANY COUNTY, SPARTA, N. C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1933 No’29 NO LOAFING TOLERATED IN CWA WORK JROJECTS Raleigh, N. C. Dec. 3, Employees on Civil Works Administration pro jects in North Carolina will hold their jobs strictly on merit, accord ing to Mrs. Thomas O’Berry, North Carolina C. W. A. Administrator. Mrs. O’Berry said, futhermore, that a plan is now being formulated for keeping a close check on the hundreds of C. W. A. projects being started throughout the State to see that there is “no loafing on the job,” “The fact that thc-je projects are being financed by Federal funds does not mean that the C. W. A. pay roll is a dole.” Mrs. O’Berry said. “Every employee will be held strict ly accountable for his work just as if he were working for a private em ployer. And any employee will be subject to dismissal who fails to measure up to the requirements of his job and who fails to give an honest day’s work. “While we’re leaving the super vision of the many projects up to local supervisors we’re going to keep a close check on all men employed by the C. W. A. to see there is no loafing on the job. We feel strongly that every one of these jobs is im portant and that everyy yemployee must realize that he is doing a ser ious work anf therefore must work just as hard as if he were being em ployed privately.” Mrs. O’Berry said that since Fed eral funds are being used to meet the payrolls she feels it is the dqty of the State Administration to see that all projects are carried out. ef ficiently. She said also that the State administration will do its ut most to see that employees who are discharged because of incompetence or indulgence and who therefore are thrown back on the direct releif rolls are legally proscecuted. “The Emergency Releif will, of course, make every effort to care for the families of these men so dis charged.” Mrs. O’Berry said, “ but we feel that the men themselves should be subject to indictment for non-support of their families just as they would be if they failed to take advantage of available private em ployment. "The Cicil Works Administration s iproviding the jobs and it is up to the men employed to hold these jobs by industrious and ambitious effort. If they fail to do so they will be discharged and no further effort will be made to aid them.” This statement by the State ad ministrator clearly indicates that despite the fears of many employers of labor throughout the State, the C. W. A. is not to be used by em ployees as a means of getting easy money. Mrs. O’Berry was parti cularly emphatic in pointing out that the C. W. A. is not providing “soft jobs.” WILKES TWINS STRANGELY MISSING North Wilkesboro, Dec. l.-(UP) Wilkes county authorities tonight said they had no clues to explain the strange dissappearance of Phil more and Elmore Eller, 14-year-old twins, son3 of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Eller of near Wiilkesboro, who van ished Monday morning while on their way to school. Although police and other agen cies in nearby counties and through out the State have been notified and asked to aid in the search for the boys, no trace of them had been found Friday night, according to W. B. Somers, .sheriff of Wilkes county. The twins, students at the Wilkes boro school, rode to school Monday morning on the school bus but never entered the building. They were seen on the school yard a short while before classes began, but drop ped from sight shortly thereafter. The parents are unable to explain their disappearance, saying they never had been away from home but a few hours before. As the family is one of moderate means, kidnap ping has been dismissed as the pos sible motive. Mrs. Eller said they had only five cents, with which to buy pencils, when they left home Monday.

SALES TAX SHOWS CON TINUED GAIN IN STATE j Raleigh, N. C. Dec. 2-With the three per cent general tax, estimated to yeild an average of $700,000 monthly, showing a return of $595, 000 in November as compared with j $550,000 in October, Revenue Com missioner A. J. Maxwell Friday re ported sharply increased general fund collections over the same month last year, while highway revenues continued to show the consistent gains recorded in past months. Total general fund receipts last month were $1,047,776.71 as compared to $598,131.32 in November, 1932, while the five-month total for this fiscal year was $8,796,628.48 as com pared to only $6,419,032.77 for the same period a year ago. Increased gasoline tax collections pushed the total highmay fund col lections for November $205,778.85 above these receipts for the month a year ago. Highway fund collec tions last month were $1,458,343.71 as compared to $1,252,564.86 in No vember, 1932. Highway fund collections for the five months of the current fiscal year totaled $7,212,232.43 as compared to $6,520,900,40* for the same period a year ago. “The most satisfactory phase of our November experience was the continuing steady increase in sales tax and in motor vehicle and gaso line revenue,” Maxwell said. “The largest increase in sales tax revenue was in October, which in creased $137,848 over September. That increase was due in part to quartely returns. PRESIDENT MAKES PLEA FOR TEMPERANCE AS HE ENDS REIGN of DRY LAW Washington, Dec. 5.—(AP)—A doubly-purpose proclamation, put ting an official end to prohibition and calling on Americans to help re store respect for law and order, was issued tonight by President Roose velt. The proclamation, an unusual one, was signed by the Chief Executive shortly after Acting Secretary Phil lips had certified tha^ 36 states had approved the repealing amendment. The National Recovery Act made it. mandatory that the Chief Execu tive proclaim the end of prohibition in order to abolish a series of spe cial taxes. The President made a special plea that no sta^e authorize return ol the saloon, either in its old form or in a new guise, and said the ob jective being sought through a na tional policy was education of every citizen toward greater temperance. Asks Cooperation. In asking for cooperation with the governmenj. in an effort to restore respect for law and order, the Pres ident enjoined all citizens and others in the United States to confine their purchases of alcoholic beverages sole ly to licensed dealers. “The policy of the government will be to see to it that |.he social and politicals evils that have existed not be revived nor permitted again I to exist,” he said. “We must re I move forever from our midst the I menace of jhe bootlegger and such ! others as would profit at the ex pense of good government and law and order.” He said the observance or his re quest for purchases solely from li censed dealers or agencies was made “personally to every individual and every family” in the nation, and would result in consumption of bev erages which had passed Federal inspection, in the break-up and even tual destruction of the “notoriously evil illicij. liquor traffic,” and pay ment of reasonable taxes for sup port of the government Protect Dry States. The proclamation directed “spe cific attention” to authority given the government by jhe repeal amendment to prohibit transporta tion or importation of intoxicating liquors into dry states. In concluding, the President said: “I trust in j.he good sense of the American people that they will not bring upon themselves the curse of excessive use of intoxicating liquors to the detriment of health, morals and social integrity.” With a dash of ceremony, Utah laj.e today wrote the end to national prohibition in a decree that opened the doors of liquor shops in 18 states. Almost half a dozen other states were completing plans for legaliz ing sale under their own laws. The remainder of the nation remained dry. Man, 87, Husks Corn Daily.

Rainey told a radio audi ence recently that the Administra tion is battling against poverty and unemployment and would carry on until the last vestige of the old or der was destroyed, The problem of the Roosevelt Administration, he as serted, was to combat the effects of 12 years of reactionary legislation which culminated in the distress ing conditions of last March and April. “The war will continue in spite of the protests of business oiganiza tions which stand for the old order of things,” he aserted, “in spite of the protest of discredited political leaders of the old regime.” Declaring that “there can be no retreat now,” Mr. Rainey estimated that 4,000,000 of the 12,000,000 work ers who were idle on March 3 have, been put back to work. He praised the steel industriy, whose report to the NRA indicated an annual pay roll increase of $78,000,000 a year. He expressed gratification over the rec ognition of Soviet Russia, and ac claimed the establishment of the Civil Works Administration as the boldest stroke taken by the Administration for releif of the destitute. Although emphasized that he was not speaking for President Roosevelt, Mr. Rainey expressed his personal beleif that gold would go to $41.34 an ounce, double the statutory price. “We are no longer tied to the back of a golden calf,” he said. “The gold standard, as we knew it a month ago, has gone, never to re turn. We are beginning to under stand that goods, not gold, are the real values. Of course, we are legis lating for the debtor classes. We are going to make it easier for them to pay their debts. We are no longer legislating for a favored few. “In the modern scheme of things there is no place for the exploiters, the grafters and the parasites. They ire not being considered. They re ceive to much consideration in the 12 years which preceded the present Administration. North Wilkesboro Man Injured In Accident Statesville, Dec. 3.-Frank P. Blair, 57, prominent business man of North Wilkesboro was seriously injured in l wreck occuring Sunday afternoon on No 1 Highway between Taylors ville and Sonover, when the Negro driver applied the brakes going down an incline on the wet pavement, lost control and the automobile left the road and crashed into a tree. Mr. Blair and his driver, Kelly Horton, colored, were brought to the Davis hospital here. Mr. Blair suffered severe head in juries, severe internal injuries and lost much blood, it being necessary to give him a blood transfusion. Late tonight a report from the hos pital was that Mr. Blair is in a very cerious condition, with only small chances ofr recovery. The colored driver had a broken upper jaw and cuts on the chin. REPEAL NOT EXPECTED TO AFFECT STATE GREAT DEAL Raleigh, N. C. Dec. 5,—With for mal “death” of the 18th Amendment to the Federal Constitution scheduled tor this afternoon, ii appears now that dry North Carolina's status, from a whiskey standpoint, will not be materially changed by the basic law of the United States. While no definite plans have yet been announced by either j.he State }r Federal governments for keeping North Carolina dry, present condi tions are such that there will be no great flow of post-Volstead whiskey into the State. In the first place North Carolina is bound to the North and South by stars which are still dry. South Carolina allows its citizens to buy a quart of intoxicating liquor per month while Virginia will be dry un der state statutes until the Virginia General Assembly meets in January. Legal whiskey may be obtained in Tennessee, the western boundary of North Carolina, as soon as repeal is consummated. While there have been no announ cements as to the plans for keeping whiskey from flowing from wet states into North Carolina, provi sions of the codes under which dis tillers and whiskey wholesalers will work are expected to provide an ade quate bar to shipments of any large amounts of liquor into this State. It is said that there are eight cars for every mile of road in the United States. BOARD EDUCATION RE QUESTS FEDERAL FUNDS FOR BUILDING SCHOOL HOUSE AT LAUREL SPRINGS BOARD of EDUCATION Meets Quite a number of people came to town Monday to attend the meter ings of the Commissioners and thte Board of Education. The Board of Education agreed to request the Civ il Works Commission in Washington to appropriate funds sufficient ’ jo build a schoolhouse for Cranberry Township at Laurel Springs. This project will be submitted to the pro per authorities as soon as estimates of the materials and bids on the same can be obtained. The plan approved for j.he build ing i3 known as State plan No. 10, and the blue print and the building was adopted by the Board of Edu cation, but the cost of the building cannot be ascertained until the spec ifications are prepared and bids on the material secured. The Board sold the Zion school house and lot to Mrs. W. R. Gentry for $37.00. Teachers’ salaries for November were paid promptly at the end of the month. The teachers meeting Saturday was devoted to a fuller consideration of the health program, in the schools. A number of teachers made short talks, and an interesting session of the Teachers Association was held. LOCAL CWA OFFICE PITT ING MEN TO WORK AS FAST AS PROJECTS ARE APPROVED CIVIL WORKS ADMINISTRATION Claude Miles returned lat Tuesday night from Raleigh, where he attend ed a State-wide meeting of county Civil Works administration. While there Mr. Miles obtained first-hand information from Washington in re gard to CWA work in local communi ties. % Up to the present time 158 men and two women have been put to work on CWA projects in the county. Alleghany was alloted 178 men, but that number has not been put to work due to the fact that projects requiring that many men have not been approved yet. Just now local offices are waiting j.o get projects approved, to put women to work. Tuesday Mrs. O’Berry, State Ad ministrator of CWA, received a tele gram from Washington, stating that North Carolina had been alloted 5000 more men for CWA projects. These men will be alloted to each county according j.o population and releif load for the month of October. Alan Johnston, regional field dir estor, from Washington was in Ral eikh Tuesday and he advised county directors that they in Washington were working day and night making plans to put the unemployed to work. Mr Miles stated the local office is putting men to work just as fast as he can get projects approved, and he asks that all unemployed who want work to wait patiently, and at the proper time he will notify them of the time and place to work. He hopes by Dec. 15 to receive instruc tions from Washing!.on, giving him permissino to put 356 men to work during this month. This cannot be done, however, without instructions from Washington. He stated that un employed men need not come to his office three or four times a day asking abouj. work, ofr all who have registered will be notified just as soon as work is available for them. Teachers and nurces ind non-pro fessional women of the County are advised that no jobs are yet available but that a State director of work for women has been appointed, and that this director will appoinj. directors for counities and districts. These local directors Will have charge of the work for women, and as soon as this organization is perfected,- the local administrator will notify the women in the county. COTTON TAKES BIG DROP FRIDAY ON BALD HILL Cotton took a big drop last Fri day afternoon, or at least ten bales did. .A truck load of cotton from Statesville passed through Sparta on the way to Fries. Near the top of Bald Hill the truck ran off the hard surface, lurched, and threw ten bales of cotton down a steep embankment.' One of the bales had the bagging torn off in the fall. The remainder of the load was noj dislocated. After about two hours work the cotton was reloaded, and the truck proceed ed on the way to Fries. When questioned the driver refus i ed to divulge his name or the name J of the owner of the truck. T LIQUOR BECAME LEGAL IN 24 STATES TUESDAY ; Washington, D. C., Dec. 4—-.The ! nation tomorrow will be “half wet1 and: half dry,” but no Lincoln has ! arisen, even from the die-hard pro- ^ hibitionist ranks to threaten that j “thus divided, it cannot survive.4” With late afternoon tomorrow, when Utah’s constitutional con vention makes that State the i thrity-sixth to ratify repeal, the legal deluge will come for just 24 spates. In some of the other. 24, the end of the dry era will be deferred pen- j ding. enactment of regulatory state ! laws. In others, no end is in sight.•{ Dry for years, dry now, they plan to continue to be dry. In theory, December 5 turns the liquor question back ».o the states. Actually, the Federal government will keep a firm hand on the traffic, however, as far as the Constitution and the national recovery act permit. , One of President Roosevelt’s first acts today on returning from Warm Springs, Ga., will be to sign an ex ecutive order clothing Joseph H.
