Voters Approve School Bond Issue

against one of the issues actual
ly came to vote, and only 13 of
the 158 counted against the other
issue.
Paul Robertson was the poll
holder and the judges of the
election were Moody Durham
and Theodore Best.
The purpose of one of the two
$1,000 issues is to fund a debt
incurred for permanent i'm
provementS, including ground, a
building, and equipment. The
purpose of the other is to fund
an operating deficit. 1t is ex-
pected that from the total of
$4,000, after the funding is
provided for, there will be left
a sum sufficient to make an ad-
dition to the schools heating
plant. Some of the rooms could
not be kept at proper tempera-
ture this last winter, and an in
crease in boiler capacity is es-
sential.
Although the bond tax rate,
now II cents, may have to be
raised in order to meet the in
terest and the installments of
principal on the new bonds, the
auditors calculations indicate
that a counterbalancing reduc-
.tion can be made in the present
maintenance rate of so cents.
The running expenses of the
tscho0l are now running we'll be-
dow the budget, and the school
boards plan is to keep the ex.-
'penses down to level which
will make it unnecessary to in
crease the total of the bond rate
and the maintenance rate taken
together.

SIGNS MUST BE
DOWN BY JAN. |
Board of Adjustment Puts Lin
it on Respite for Bill
boards in Village
FOUSHEE REPORTS ARREST

The board of adjustment
created under the zoning ordi-
nance adopted resolution, at
its meeting last Friday after
noon, requiring that all bill
boards be removed from the vii
lage by the first day of next
January.
The zoning ordinance forbids
all advertising signs except such
as advertise goods sold on the
premises where the signs are
, displayed, but it also empowers
the board Of adjustment to make
exceptions in cases where strict
enforcement would inflict undue
hardship. The board has taken
the attitude that it would not or
der the immediate removal of
signs that had been erected and
maintained before the enact
ment of the ordinace; it consid-
ers, however, that a long enough
time will have passed, by the
end of this year, for the prohib-
itory provisions of the measure
to go into full effect,
At Fridays meeting the board
was called upon to decide if a
large sign on the west wall Of the
Ray store, across the street
from the Baptist church, was
permissible. The sign advertis-
ed a soft drink sold on a ma
tional scale. The point was
made, in defense of the sign,
that since this drink was sold in
the store the law was not vi0lat-
ed. The board decided that the
clause relating to the advertising
of goods sold on the premises
was not meant to apply to COM
modities such as nationally ad-
vertised soft drinks.
Town Manager Foushee told
the board that from his office
window he had seen a sign
painter at work on the store
Monday, April 8, and had stop
ped him. He saw the painter
at work a second time, and this
time had him arrested. The
mayor tried the man, found him
guilty, and fined him the costs Of
the action. He was warned that
if he repeated the offense the
penalty would be made more
severe.

A Disgrace

From Governor Gardner S
statement about the destruction
by a mob of the strikers relief
grocery store in Gastonia: "The
policy of the state of North
Carolina does not countenance
violence. :. | abhor this sort of
action. =. regard this incident
as most unfortunate and trust
there will be no more disorders
by any of the parties to this con-
trOversy."
But the Governors hope was
not fulfilled. Two or three days
later a reporter for the Charlotte
Observer was attacked by a
member of the force of deputy
sheriffs that replaced the state
troops-the troops that had
made an inglorious departure
after their failure to do any
thing to interfere with the mob.
The reporter, Mr.. Blythe, says
the Observer, was the victim
of an unWarranted attack. E. . A
deputy, passing him, said: Get
the hell away from here and go
home where you belong The
next thing | knew said Blythe,
i had been struck on the head
and was on the ground with
several officers grabbing at
me-" @
"The whole incident, " remarks
the Greensboro NeU8 truly,
throws an Illuminating light on
how law and order are maintain
ed in Gastonia. 1t may even
throw enough light on conditions
there to explain to Governor
Gardner, who has been reported
as mystified at the masked gang
outrage, something of the spirit
which produces both official
brutality and midnight mob
bing."
There has as yet been no ade-
quate punishment of the mob
which demolished the strikers
relief grocery store" says the
NelOs and Observer. Doubtless
the inclusion of the word ade-
quate in this sentence was an
oversight. There has been no
punishment at all.
The fact that that the ssttrr strike Ike lead lead
ers are Communist agitators
has been made an excuse for the
most high-handed and onpres-
sive treatment of the strikers.
They have been jailed on flimsy
charges, and the right of peace
able assembly has been denied
them.
The whole affair is disgrace
to the state of North Carolina.

DEATH OF BILLY JAMESON,
 AFTER TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
 IN WILDS OF LOWER YUKON

SpeaBingspf the miseries of this old world, here is 3 tale, taken from the Anchorage Times. that certainly sends chill through one:
 One of the North's most widely knwn old-timers reached the end of the long traihthis winter, having sue cumbed to stroke of paralysis at the government hospital at Akiak, on the lower Kuskokwim river, after both of his legs had been amputated He was Billy Jameson, pioneer of the Fair banks district, where he operated ex- tensively in the aesiy days, and more recently resident of the lower Yu- kon country. The news of his pass ing reached Anchorage in letter from George Pitcher
 Jameson left Marshall about the middle of December with q dog team, accompanied by Slim Housler, their destination being a trapping cabin some distance from the settlement. Housler left Jameson and his outfit and hurried back to Marshall, intend ing to return othe Jameson cabin in ten days, but was prevented from doing so by bad weather. Thirteen days had elapsed before he finally set out, and when he reached the cabin he found the door open. and Jameson on his back, with both feet frozen. The stove which Jameson had taken out with him had not heen set up, the stove pipe was crushed and battered, and provisions were scattered over the floor of the cabin. The oldtimer explained to Housler that when he at tempted to put the pipe together his hands setmed paralyzed and for a time he felt as if he had lost his mind. He spent most of the 13 days in bed and was without fire during all of that time. His dogs also had been without food during that time.
 Housler set the stove up as soon as he had made survey of thessituation and after getting fire started he set about thawing the oIitimer's feet, using a combination of snow and wattr with what seemed to be good results. As soon as possible Jameson was loaded on Houslsr's. .-sleda and taken to Marshall, and ,from there to the government hospital j,at Akiak. ron arrival at the lu,srmtsl the con- dition of Jameso11's feet. was such that amputation was deemed .neces- sary, and both were removed, the op- eration appearing to- he sssuccessful. -a,er, however, q stroke. ofsparalysis came on, and the 'otdti,ner, did not long survive
