PAUL C. SPAlNHOUR DEAD

Paul G. Spainhour of Vale Cru
els, 36 years old, died in the Mount
Alto Hospital, Washington, D. c.,
Monday morning, where he had been
for several months taking govern
ment treatment for tuberculosis.
Mr.. Spainhour was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Spainhour of Nor
canton, attended school at Boone in
his youth and for the last several
years had been a citizen of Watauga
county. In the early days of Amer
ica's participation in the World
war, Mr.. Spanhour enlisted in the
service Of his country and was with
one of the first .contingents to be
sent to the relief of the Allies in
France. He remained in line of duty
until the cessation of hostilities and
it was while on foreign soil he con-
tracted the malady which led to his
death. He spent a greater part Of
last year in Oteen hospital, near
Asheville, whre it was finally deem
ed wise to remove him to Washing
ton. From the end of the war until
last year, however, he had been able
to go about his usual duties. He was
a prosperous farmer and a leading
citizen of the Vale Crucis section.
Remains arrived in Boone yester-
day at noon, where they were re-
ceived by members of the American
Legion. A military escort was form
ed and the body taken to Henson's
Chapel. There a guard of honor
stood while the funeral was being
conducted by Rev. w. R. Bradshaw
of Morganton, pastor of the Baptist
church of which deceased was q
member. Interment was in the
Cove Creek cemetery.
Surviving are a widow and one
child, Gordon, besides a father and
several brothers and sisters.

RED CROSS RESPONSIBILITY
TO DISABLED EX-SOLDIERS

1t will be of interest to the men,
bers of the Watauga county chapter
of the American Red Cross to know
that Mrs. Smith Hagaman has re-
Gently been appointed chairman OF
heme service. Mrs. Hagaman is a
Red Cross nurse and served in the
World war and is well qualified to
trender such assistance as the chap
ter may be prepared to give to the
disabled ex-service man and his de-
pendents. This service consists of
assistance when necessary in the
preparation and presentation of
claims, or temporary relief if need
ed when the disability originated in
war service.
Chapters are daily finding veterans
who have never filed claims, or de-
pendents who have never known their
rights resulting from the death of
men in service or thereafter.
The estimate was recently made
by Brigadier General Frank L.
Hines, director OF the veterans bu-
reau, that the need for assistance to
ex-service men suffering from men,
tai disability as result of war serv-
ice will gradually increase for the
next 18 years, when the peak is ex-
pected to be reached.
With it's 5000 chapters in the
United States and it's insular and
foreign possessions, and through
close cooperation from the state
department, when soldiers claims
involve international problems, the
American Red Cross is already
handling an average of more than
$4,000 service and ex-service mems
cases each month. The strength of
the Red Cross lies in it's inter-lock-
ing system of chapters which help
each other in preparing claims and
in many other ways.

Amended School Bill
Passed by Assembly

Raleigh, March 16-Capitulation
after three days of refusal, the
house today accepted the senate
amendments to the Hancock school
bill, chief of which was a reduction
in the equalization fund to $6,500,-
900. The house had set the figure at
$7,5OO,OOO.
Agreement by the house to the
senate changes left only formal
ratification awaiting the bill before
it becomes law. The amount Of
state aid for the schools provided by
the measure is exactly double that
of the present school year.
Wednesday the house refused to
concur in the senate amendments tc
tie bill and appointed a conference
committee. The committee, compos-
ed of Representatives Mclean of
Beaufort, Harris of Person, and
Winston of BERTHE, brought in a re-
port recommending later changes in
the bill, but retaining the equalizing
figure set by the senate. Representa-
tive Null of Cleveland moved that
the committee be instructed to bring
in a report asking the house to
agree to the senate amendments.
His motion was carried, 48 to "a, and
the report was presented and adopt
ed, SO to 80.
Under the provisions of the bill,
the sum of $5,25O,OO will be set up
as an equalization fund for the six
months terms, and a fund of $780,
90 in addition as aid for the special
tax districts supporting schools for
eight months. From the equaliza-
ton fund 100000 is to be held as
an emergency fund for the relief of
schools suffering unforeseen catas-
trophies through fire, flood, etc.

N. L. MAST DIED
MONDAY NIGHT
Sudden Passing Came as Shock to
Family and Friends; Funeral and
Interment Yesterday Afternoon at
Cove Creek

Newton l.. Mast, president of the
Watauga County Bank and widely
known business man, died almost
suddenly at his home at Mast Mon
day evening. He was 50 years of
age.
Mr.. Mast had left Boone in the
afternoon about six o'clock, having
spent the day in Avery county look
ing after business matters, and was
in his usual good spirits when he
left town. However, at home, news
awaited him of the death of his SON.
in-law, Mr.. Paul Spainhour. After
having conversed with a close friend
over the telephone relative to fu-
neral arrangements, Mr.. Mast COM
planned of shortage of breath. His
son, James, assisted him to a chair
where he expired within about ten
minutes. Heart trouble is supposed
to have been the cause of his death.
Mr. Mast was one of the foremost
merchants of the county, having
opened his place of business to the
public about 49 years ago. His sue
cess was phenomenal, he was an able
financier, and was one of the veal
thiest citizens of the county He
was one of the founders of the Wat
auga County Bank, and was the
president of that institution from its
organization nearly twenty-five
years ago, until his death. The rapid
growth of that organization from a
tiny country bank to one of the
foremost financial institutions in
northwest North Carolina, was due
largely to the keen business judg-
ment and vision of its president.
Mr.. Mast was a leader always in
public affairs and was ever closely
affiliated with those movements cal
culated to bring about more whole
some conditions for the citizenship
as a whole. He was one of the lead
ing spirits in the Cove Greek Baptist
church, having been a member since
early youth. He was broad in his
church views and a co-worker with
the Methodist people. He was a So
cial and moral leader and his busi-
ness ability has been a great asset
in the development of his native
county.
Funeral services were conducted
yesterday "wednesday at 2:30
o'clock from Henson's Chapel Meth
odist church, by Rev. Will o. Cor
don, pastor of the Cove Creek Bap-

Funeral services were held last Fri
day at the Reformed church here for
Emory Young, whose death in
Statesville was the result of compli-
cations following an attack of acute
appendicitis. Mr.. Young was rush
ed to Statesville when he became illy
but the operation was too late to
save his life.
Mr.. Young belonged to one of the
most prominent and respected fami-
lies Of Blowing Rock. He is sur
vivid by his widow and eight
children, all at home in Blowing
Rock, and several brothers and Sis
ters in various parts of the state.
One brother, Edgar Young, lives in
Blowing Rock.

sister, has arrived here from Bend,
Oregon, and will make her home
here for while. She is accom-
anied by her daughter Hazel, who
has entered the junior class at Blow
ing Rock high school. Mrs. Blalock

The citizens of Blowing Rock
will entertain Friday night at the
Central Hotel, honoring the Blow
ing Rock Fire Department, in recog-
milton of the excellent work of the
department last week during the
windstorm, when the home of Mrs.
Matte Story was destroyed by fire.
Although the firemen were unable
to save the house, because of the
high wind, they prevented it from
spreading to the surrounding
houses, which would certainly have
been destroyed also, with such a
high wind blowing, if the firemen
had not fought as strenuously as
they did to save them.
The roof Of Mayview Manor,
which was damaged by the same
windstorm, is now being repaired.

CITIZENS MILITARY
TRAINING CAMP S

Major R. B. Patterson, U. S.
Army, and his assistant, Sergeant
Jack Schneider, visited Boone last
Wednesday and Thursday in behalf
of the citizens military training
camps. Major Patterson spoke to
the high school students of Cove
Greek on Wednesday and to the
students of the Boone high school
and Blowing Rock on Thursday.
After commencing Watauga coun-
ty very highly for sending more
than its quota of boys to camp last
summer, Major Patterson spoke Of
the mission of these camps. He said
that strenuous efforts are being
made to familiarize every young
man in the state with the oppor-
tunities offered by these camps so
that all may have an equal chance
to apply. President Coolidge's son,
and the sons of thirty-two state gov
ernors have attended these camps
with the sons of men from every
walk of life. They all have had an
equal chance and as in the past
when they come together again
next summer they will eat, drill,
play and bunk side by side.
These camps were inaugurated by
pnncnI,n1t hn RI
rect descendants of the pre-war
Plattsburg camp originated by the
late General Wood. They have been
sponsored and endorsed by our last
four presidents, by leading church
men and educators, by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and by
many other prominent citizens and
organizations. Physical eXamina-
tions during the war indicated that
nearly half the young men Of the
country were physically unfit for
active military service. This alarm
ing situation was partially met by
congress in 1920 by creating the
citizens military training camps,
which now annually provide about
forty thousand young men with
proper diet and exercise amidst
halthful outdoor surroundings. These
men return to their homes ardent
opponents of the American princi-
pies of physical health and fitness.
The mission of these training
camps, said Major Patterson, is to
bring together for a months train
irg, under healthful surroundings,
young men from all walks of life on
a common basis of equality and bv
supervised athletics, military drill
and instructions in citizenship to de-
velop them physically and morally,
to promote a wholesome respect for
discipline, to teach the value of team
work, fit them for leadership in
peace or war and impress upon them
their obligations and responsible
ties.
Military training is not the pri-
mary objective of the camps and
they are placed under the war de-
partment by congress only because
it is the one existing agency with
the necessary personnel and because
military training is the most effect
i've means with which to accom-
plish the mission for which the
camps exist.
You can go to one of these camps
at government expense provided you
get your request in early enough.
Enrolment began a month later
this year so you'll not have as much
time to think the matter over as
was the case last year.
The boys who attended camp last
year from Watauga county are:
Allen Smith Adams, Albert C.
Farthing, Ralph Farthing, Len D.
Hagaman, John w. Hodges, Jr.,
