Husband and children, try to be brave, When you remember that lonely grave; But in that city that is golden paved, Hope she will meet all loved ones fully saved. Dear friend, for years faithful and true, * Often together just me and you; You’ve gone end left your child ren five and four, We hope they will meet you when life is o’er. Written by request, I C.

Byrd, now in Chicago, was quoted as saying that he would try to raise funds, himself, for the project if it failed to receive congressional approval, but that he did not think he could organ ize a private expedition in time to sail before next year. Congressional subcommi 11 e e s have heard Byrd support the plan for a government-sponsored sur vey and have heard his offer of his personal services and the use of his ship, the Bear of Oakland, which now is being reconditioned and equipped with Diesel engines in Boston. The proposal is expect ed to reach the floor of the House in the near future. Byrd said the purpose of the proposed expedition would be to map and lay claim to American explored territory to which the American government has thus far only reserved its rights. The explorer nearly lost his life during the last expedition and for a time after his return, his health was seriously impaired. Mt.

NORTH MAIN STREET - - GALAX, VIRGINIA Colonel Bain Takes Command^ Brewers and Distributors Inaugurate North Carolina "Clean-Up or Close-Up” Campaign. State and Local Enforcement Heads Endorse Plan. IN NORTH CAROLINA, as in many other states, a few retail beer outlets which flout the law, often bring dis credit upon the entire business. Brewers and distributors are convinced that this business can and should al ways be conducted properly and in full conformity with the law, and they are determined that this shall be the ease in North Carolina. Consequently, we, the undersigned, re cently formed the Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Committee which, acting in close cooperation with state and local enforcement bodies, has launched a vigorous cooperative cam paign to rid the state of those few beer outlets which persist in disregarding ’ both the law and the public. In plain words, we refuse any longer to tolerate outlets which use their beer licenses as a “cover-up” for flagrant bootlegging operations; which sell to minors or otherwise violate the law and their license privileges. With the brew ers, our Committee includes wholesalers who distribute approximately ninety per cent of the beer sold in North Carolina. And we also have the wholehearted sup port of the large majority of our re spectable and law-abiding retailers. Furthermore, duly constituted enforce ment officials have approved our objec tives and promised their help. And ACTION is certain now that Attorney General McMullan has declared it is the duty of municipal and county boards, on request for revocation of malt beverage licenses, to hold hearings. Colonel Edgar H. Bain, of Goldsboro, N. C., has been appointed by the Com mittee to direct its activities. “Good Conduct" Committees of local beer distributors, each headed by a chairman, have been set up in ten dis tricts of the state for close cooperation with law enforcement officers, and with our own Executive Committee, in eradi cating objectionable places of business. Established on a permanent basis, our Brewers and North Carolina Beer Dis tributors Committee seeks to protect the legitimate beer business in North Caro lina from the depredations of a small and irresponsible minority, and to per form a worthwhile service to the public. The Committee is sponsored by the United Brewers Industrial Foundation, a national organization of brewers. The Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Committee is convinced that its work is in the public interest. Therefore, we respectfully solicit your cooperation with our efforts. COL. EDGAR H. BAIN State Director Colonel Bain recently resigned town the State Senate to take over the directorship of oor Committee. He to a World War veteran, decorated with the Dis tinguished Service Cross and the Silver Star. An official of the 17. S.
