The Goldsboro NeWs-Argus approves Of
the action of the Wayne county commits
sioners in adopting the horizontal cut plan
for reducing real estate assessments IN
that county. Assessments will be reduced
in the same proportion on all property.
The News-Argus says it would cost around
81, 900 to re-value the county's property
and the plan adopted will cost but little
in comparison The horizontal reduction
plan is favored by Chairman 7. L. Durham
of the Henderson county commissioners;
and this newspaper is informed that it IS
favored by majority of the county boards
of the State.

Says a newspaper item, Hope rests on
beer measure" The reference is to the
Legislatures hope of raising sufficient
revenue to meet North Cardinals expenses;
and the beer hope is something in addition
to sales tax and other sources of revenue.
The hope that rests on beer revenue will no
doubt prove disappointing. When the peo-
pie of the State discover that citizen has
to drink somewhere from $50 to $50 worth
of beer in order to make a contribution Of
50 to the tax fund, their enthusiasm for
paying taxes in this way will probably
have an attack of cold feet.

COUNCIL GIVES
SAFETY ADVICE
Percentage of Accidents of
Pedestrians Decreasing;
Motorists Increasing
REPORT BY DIR. STINE

The rights of pedestrians in con-
nection with Country Highways
must be considered as co-relative
with and of equal Importance to
the rights Of the vehicular users of
the highway, according to a report
made by DR.. c. M. A. Stine, Vice
President Of Public Safety for the
Delaware Safety Council, before
the regular semi-monthly meeting
Of the Councils directors in the
Hotel duPont-Biltmore. Accident
statistics reveal that twice as
many pedestrians are involved in
accidents while walking on the
wrong side of the roadways with
traffic as are involved if the proper
safety precautions are adhered to
and the pedestrian uses the left
side of the roadway and walks fac
ing traffic. According to DrStine,
the pedestrian is rapidly becoming
safety conscious and the percent
age of accidents due to faults of
pedestrians are decreasing while
accidents resulting from faults of
motorists are gradually increasing.
The economic slump tends to in
crease pedestrian peril. The high
ways of our country are the pc
destrian thoroughfares of thous-
ands of city folk seeking recreation
thousands of jobless men searching
for work, farmers and road work
ers. For lack Of pathways along
the highways these citizens will be
forced to walk along our automo-
bile highways, thereby endangering
not only their own lives but the
motorists life as well. The pc
destrian is forced to make the best
of bad situation. He has been, it
would seem, of trif1ing Importance
to the State Legislature ever since
the automobile became the major
factor in transportation. An an
alysis made by the Committee on
Highway Sidewalks of the Ameri-
Smyrna times., 1933-05-03

can Society Of Municipal Engineers
revealed that only seven states, in
Guiding the State of Delaware,
have any provision for state ex-
pense in building sidewalks along
the highway. The jostle and
struggle between the driver and
pedestrian had been for many,
many years a fixed condition, quiet
ly accepted by the multitudes. The
driver, on his part, believed that
the street belonged exclusively to
him and. :. !. he sat on his throne as
one beyond the law. The citizens
went daily, with more or less cour-
age, through greater perils and
dangers than an arctic explorer. !.
or a hunter of dangerous wild
beasts would encounter, glad at
times to gain the curb, frequently
escaping a violent and cruel death
by hairs breadth.

Blood Pressure Is Not
Now Held Death Sentence

London. - Sufferers from high
blood pressure, your physicians di-
agnosis is not a death sentence.
Just carry on your usual mode of
life-do not worry.
You can still 60 on living beyond
the three-score years and ten. You
can still play golf, and you can go
on walking, riding, and doing your
usual exercises, provided, of course,
they are not too strenuous.
Such is the reassuring picture
painted by Sir Thomas Lewis in his
new book, Diseases of the Heart. !"
The average expectation Of life,
he finds, is from ten to twenty years
after the start of symptoms, which
is usually between the fiftieth and
SEVENTEEN years.
The great point, Sir Thomas en-
phasizes, is to avoid mental ankle
ties. Sleep is necessary, as much as
one can reasonably get.

SECRETS OF
LIBYAN DESERT
Expedition Finds Traces of
Ancient Inhabitants
In Area
REGION UNEMPLOYED

London.-The progress of Brit
ish expedition of scientists to the
hitherto unexplored area of the
Libyan desert is described by Sir E.
Denison Ross, director of the
School of Oriental Studies at the
London institution.
This is the day of desert jour
neys," says Sir Denison Ross, but
this expedition to the Libyan desert
has attracted singularly little atten-
tion in relation to its Importance.
"The expedition of eight men,
which left Cairo on September 27
last, under the leadership of Maj. R.
A. Bagnold, had for it's object the
solution of some of the secrets of
the South Libyan desert.
Beyond Civilization.
''They went by way of the Desert
of Fayyum, the Abu Moharik
dunes, Kharga, and reached Uwei-
nat. BY the time they were ready
to start westward from Uweinat,
they had completed about 1000
miles of desert travel.
"They left Uweinat about the
first week in October, and carried
out IA days tour west of Uweinat,
carrying all supplies for 1000 miles.
For that fortnight they were COM
pletely off the map of civilization.
in a hitherto unvisited and unex-
plored sand area. They reached
the Sara Well, and according to
their plan, they went up the Wadl
Fardi.
Returning to Uweinat, they then
did a nine days tour of the Erdi-
Ennedl foothills including the Wadis
Guroguro and Hawa, and had then
travelled about 1900 miles from
Cairo. They then made south to
Kuttum and ElFashar, arriving on
November 4. From there they sent
news that they were all well, that
they had found traces of ancient
human occupation over the whole
area and that the strange Guraan
tribes had not been encountered
anywhere.
Trip of 1000 Miles.
"They left ElFashar on Novem-
Der Z and are returning to Cairo by
way of Wafi Hawa, Bir Naturun,
West Shekaya, Merga Oasis, Lagia,
Selma, Haifa, Abu Tingel and Ba-
haria.
This will be another 5000 miles
added to the 1900 miles of desert
already Travelled. On their journey
to Uweinat the second time they
climbed the Uweinat, which is a
mountain mass of an extent of about
1000 square miles, with an average
altitude of 1850 feet.
"This must have been very ex-
hausting in the terrific heat. They
have explored the plateau at the
top, but no details have been re
ceived of their results here"

nounced.
Soft coal production during
December. 1882, was estimated
at 6,41S.OOO tons, a loss Of 1.6
per cent over production for No

Production of anthracite coal
increased 10 per cent during De

November. Seventy-seven per
cent Of the 217 anthracite col
lieries, or 166 collieries, worked

Several Cabot motorists reported

Doubtless a QUESTIONABLE like

room, but the latest wrinkle offered
to eliminate the fear of appended
tony or any other operation is mu-
sic with the ether?
The melody detracts the mind

Pittsburgh hospitals said expert
ments so far had shown that for olu
persons, the music of their youth
had the best results.

| Today and Using an
entirely new field for drama, the
RKO Radio picture, Thirteen
Women" succeeds in still another
screen departure. And that is in
permitting an audience to think
and thoroughly enjoy thinking!
There are no blatant scenes, de-
signed for the so-called fourteen
year-old-mind of the masses" This
is intellectually planned entertain
ment full of suspense and powerful
situations. The producers of the
picture have been wise enough not
to permit old-fashioned hokum sit
uations to creep into the film
wherein Irene Dunno would be call
ed upon to make the usual cinema
sacrifices on the altar Of mother
hood. All summed up Thirteen
Women" is one of the outstanding
screen successes of this year.
Friday and Saturday-"Th Bill
lion Dollar Scandal" melodrama of
a nationwide big-money swindle,
is one of the most sensational ex-
poses in motion pictures. Robert
Armstrong heads the cast in the
role Of Fingers Partos, the humble
masseur and ex-convict, who be-
comes the man of the hour when
he dares to talk, exposing group
of millionaire financiers as the per-
petrators of a gigantic swindle.
Constance Cummings appears in
the feminine lead, as Doris Master
son, daughter of the leader of the
swindlers, a role played by Frank
Morgan. Others Of prominence are
Olga Baclanova, James Gleason,
Warren Hymer, Frank Albertson,
Irving Pichel, Hale Hamilton, Dor
thy Peterson, Ralf Harolde, Berton
Churchill and Sidney Toler.
Monday and Tuesday Writing a
new chapter in the brief history of
real all-star pictures, Fox Films
drew upon the finest talent of Hol-
lywood to bring Phil Strong's prize
novel, estate Fair" to the screen.
The cast chosen includes Janet
Gaynor, Will Rogers, Lew Ayres,
Sally Eilers, Norman Foster, Frank
Craven, Louise Dresser and Victor
Jory. In assembling this imposing
array of star talent, Fox upset pre-
cedent in two years. It went be
yond its own studio contract roster
to secure Ayres as Miss Gaynor's
sweetheart, and it chose all of the
stars to fit roles, rather than build
ing parts to suit player personal
tiles. "State Fair" rich in romance
and comedy, deals with the loves
and adventures Of a Middle West
ern farm family. Miss Gaynor is
seen as a demure and lovely farm
girl who learns about love from a
young newspaper reporter. Rogers
plays Abel Frake, the hog-raising
farmer. He specifically asked for
the part, stating that he did not
care about being the star of the
picture, but he did want to play
that farmer. Ayres portrays the
reporter who wins Miss Gaynor's
heart, and Miss Eilers has her best
role since bad Girl" as an aerial
ist who intrigues the fancy of Nor
man Foster, a farm boy. Miss
Dresser appears as Rogers wife,
Craven plays country storekeep-
er, and Jory is seen as a carnival
stand barker"
