BEERS RECORD

Quite frequently we hear the argument that le
galization of beer has resulted in no increase in
drunkenness, but that it has improved conditions
The Record takes the position that light wines and
beer might not prove Objectionable and perhaps
would never have been outlawed but for the fac:
that they are used as shields and "breeders' for
the traffic in hard liquors.
Put any Interpretation that we may on the facts,
though the record in New York state for the first
six months of legalized beer discloses that the
number of arrests has increased.
The New York Times, Sunday, gave the follow
ing facts:
ARRESTS for drunkenness were 10 per cent more
numerous in New York state during the first six
months of legalized beer than during correspond
ing period in 1882 Frank A. Leonard, statistician
for the State Department of Correction, said to-
day.
ARRESTS of intoxicated drivers showed an in
crease of about per cent he reported.
| "Since beer was legalized April 7, the average
number of arrests each month for drunkenness
was $3.50 compared with 3,515 for 1882, Mr..
Leonard said Arrests for driving while intoxcat-
ed averaged PAP month after beer was legalized
and 239 month last year.
"a sharp increase in drunkenness cases among
women was also reported. During the first three
months this year, the monthly average was 1873.
The average since the legalzation of beer was 223
or an increase of q per cent.
Whether beer is intoxicating or not there is
the record. 1t was made, Furthermore, the first six
months of the experiment by which the vets are
proposing to better conditions.
If drunken drivers have increased under the
regime of so weak intoxicant as 32 per cent
beverage, what is bound to be the consequences of
our legazation of strong booze.
LOCALIZED beer has written the first chapter of
what the more tragic record of legalized hard
liquor is certain to be.
All who favor that course should vote wet next
Tuesday, while all who prefer that John Barley
corn be continued outlaw in North Carolina,
should vote against the repeal of the 18th Amend
ment and for "No Convention."-The Hickory
Record.

on Reservation

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Nov. 4.
(UP)--The government intends
to carry through its prosecution
of Lieut.. John Murrel, army Of
icer accused of attacking Miss
Blanche Rails on military reser-
walton. w. r. Smith, Jr., United
States district attorney, said yes

also was quoted as saying that she
and her sister wanted the case

weeks vacation from her work as
an employe for an oil company.

NORTH CAROLINA MUST VOTE ITS
OWN CONVICTIONS

Congress has referred the matter of re-
peal of the 18th Amendment to the voters
of the 48 States. That is all Congress can
do, as Congress has no power to repeal
any part of the Constitution of the United
States. Repeal can come only by the &C
ton of the people of the States, either by
the present convention plan or the action
of State legislatures.
Congress did not send the repeal ques-
ton down to the States with instructions
that one State is to follow the lead of an
other State in voting. Congress cannot do
that. Congress did not instruct North Care
i, Ina to stand by and see how one State or
all the other States vote, and then vote
that way Congress cannot issue such in
structions. All Congress could do was sub
nit this issue to be voted on by the citizens
of. the States or their Legislatures.
Citizens of the States, men and women
voters, are expected to exercise their iii-
telligence, their patriotism and their de-
sire to promote the welfare of their State
and country, in voting on this issue. The
November It'll election gives North Caro-
linians the opportunity to express their
views as to the retention or repeal of the
Amendment.
1t is the duty and privilege of North
Carolinians to vote their honest convic-
tions, regardless of how other States have
voted, To DO otherwise would stamp our
people as unworthy of their citizenship III
a great State.
Now, the fact that other States have
votedIfor repeal should not influence North
Carolinians in the smallest degree. Con-
gress and the country at large want to
know, the honest sentiment of our people,
and that sentiment cannot be ascertained
by voting in this State according to the
views of the people of another State. We
must vote our own convictions.
The fact that SO States have voted for
repeal should not have any weight in de-
termining the sentiment of our voters.
When the Amendment was adopted two
States failed to ratify it. They were not
subjected to any criticism on that account.
A majority of their people were opposed
to ratification and those States had the
same right to reject it that 46 other States
had to ratify it.
Nothing of benefit to an Individual or a
nation is secured by becoming rubber
stamp to o. K. the wrong opinions and &C
tons of others. Majorities often go wrong
and vote wrong. Who knows that ma
jority of the citizens who have voted in
these repeal elections have voted right ?
Have voted to promote the best interests
and to make secure the welfare of theiG
country?
If a voters honest convictions are dry
he ought to vote dry; if wet, he ought tc
vote wet; but, in the effort to settle an is
sue of as far-reaching Importance as this
every voter should be certain that he i!
voting right according to his understand
ing of the question. No voter should vot
wet because the vets claim that everybod
is doing it. That is not good reason TO
voting wet, if it was true. 1t is untrue
Only forty tper cent. of the@voters in 3
Stat8 have voted wet in repeal electio

To the Editor:
Unless my memory is playing
"hide and seek" with me, l can't
agree with those that are saying
that Mr.. Bailey ''is not the man
to face both ways"
If his short political career tells
US anything his advocating, at
this time, the repeal of the 18th
Amendment is just what we should
expect. -,
He is unstable as water. He
comes and goes with the tide.
When the tide is high for prohibi-
ton he is great prohibitionist.
If he hears the rumbling Of
wheels, and a challenging cry
from the public that the political
machine is running over the rights
of the people. he throws a mon
key-wrench into the machine, and
in true democratic fashion, cham
pions the cause of untrammeled
franchise. But finding the ma
chine sufficiently constructed and
tempered to grind up the monkey
wrench and roll on its way, he
becomes the biggest machine man
in the bunch. He is ready to cham
pion the cause of the wettest man
in the nation if the machine so
directs.
When a man is found who will
let the machine roll over him and
crush him, rather than surrender
his conscience and principle, Mr..
Bailey is ready to jump on the
old bus and take the wheel and
drive roughshod over such a man,
although the issue is prohibition.
And now, when brewers, and
wine bibbers. and subsidized
press, and multi-miilionaire tax
dodgers, and beer-bellied pOliti-
clans have turned the tide and it
is rolling strong and roaring for
repeal, no one should be surprised
at Mr.. Bailey's coming in on the
crest of the wave. He is as tickle
as the color of a chameleon and

The Chapel Hill weekly., 1933-08-11
By John N. Booker

In the May meeting of the
Battle Park Association the fol-
lowing motion was passed: "Re-
solved, that the Board of Alder
man Of Chapel Hill be request
ed to consider the possibility
and practicability of acquiring
by purchase or otherwise GER
tain areas and properties, not
suitable for building purposes,
the same to be developed as
parks and recreation places; and,
Resolved. further, that the
Board of Aldermen be requested
to take under consideration the
matter Of appointing a General
Park and Planning Commission"
This motion represents a wish
for Chapel Hill that has recurred
to me many times in my walks
during the past twenty years.
in fact, ever since my native
town of Baltimore began to hook
up its parks by boulevards so
that the hook-up formed a
ring around the older part of the
city. in which the boulevards
might be likened to the band of
the ring, and the parks. to the
Jewels in it. Travellers have
seen similar rings of parks in
European cities, where, however,
they have come into being
through the leveling of old for
tifcations. In the case of Balti-
more, the park system develop
ed new parks on principle that
offers a close parallel to the sit
uation in Chapel Hill. The Park
Commission there adopted a pol
icy of acquiring stream valleys,
which were not suitable for
building sites according to the
taste prevailing then. AS stream
valleys afford the greatest va
riety of landscape in small
areas, the Commission secured
and preserved at little expense
the loveliest bits of scenery that
the city was engulfing in it's
outward growth.
1t so happens that the coun-
tryside over which the suburbs
of Chapel Hill are extending is
delightfully."- broken by stream
valleys. The prettiest stretch of
Battle Creek valley has been pre-
served as a park by the gener-4
osity of the University and the
Order of the Gimghouls, while
the care of the Battle Park AS
sociation and the personal at
tention of the Associations Pres
ident, Colonel Pratt, have re-
deemed this charming spot from
neglect and transformed it into
rare treat for walkers. Four
other such stream valleys are
preserved for lovers of nature
by the fact that they belong to
the University campus.
But there are others easily re-
called by Chapel Hillians that,
though at present outside the
town limits, will in time lie
within these limits, and the fore
sight Of a permanent and active
park commission can do much to
preserve them as green spots
pleasant in themselves and af-
fording centers of natural
beauty around Which future res
licences can be built with assur-
ance to their owners of at least
one outlook into greenery.
Il will suffice to mention, by
way of example, two losses that

A Park Commission for Chapel Hill?

| a park commission might have
prevented. One of the most at
tractive stream valleys formerly
calling to walkers was known as
the Fern Bank Walk because of
magnificent bank of ferns that
grew along the southern side of
the valley. This bit of the valley
of Bolin Greek extends half a
mile due west from the present
bridge over the old HilIsborO
Road. The beginning of it is
now marked by the monumental
garbage dump that welcomes the
visitor from Hillsboro to our
city. On the southern bank the
fine growth of timber has been
cut right down to the streams
edge, and the beauty of the
stream valley, ruined. This
ruination of a natural beauty
spot could have been prevented
/ by the reservation of a border
strip of hundred yards of ma
tive growth.
The second loss I mention
happens to be one that also af
fects an approach to our town.
Custom may have stalled the
natural beauty Of the approach
from Durham, but the hand of
man has certainly marred it.
It's main features are the spa
cious sWale on the south side Of
the road and the steep and
gracefully winding ascent of
the road, itself, after it crosses
the bridge. Just one of the re-
cent improvements will amply il
Illustrate our point: | have found
no one who does not regret the
excavations on the north side of
the ascent.
Protection of our best bits of
landscape do not necessarily call
for condemnation and purchase
proceedings. The accomplish
ment Of the various movements
to preserve the scenery along
the roads of England is an in
spring story of what public
opinion and cooperation can do
for countryside; money plays an
insignificant role in this story.
/ doubt if either the timber or
the produce from the ground
cleared by the owner of the
southern bank of the stretch of
Bolin Creek referred to promis-
ed profit that would have pre-
vented his cooperating with a
park commission if he had been
properly approached. And a
case might have been presented
for the north. side of the Durham
Road above the bridge that
might have modified the oper-
ations there to the benefit not
only of the community, but also
of the owner of the property.
Nobody thinks of checking up
such losses in the looks OF our
neighbOrhood to the property
owners; they naturally have to
attend to their own interests as
they see them. The town is re-
sponsible. And the first thing
the town needs for the preven-
tion of such losses is a reliable
agent. Such an agent is a park
commission with authority to
treat for the town.
Colonel Pratt has shown what
an active and intelligent organic
alton, can do in the way Of en-
hancing the charm and increas-
ing the use of a natural beauty

CLOAK OFFICIALS
REJECT u NIT Y

NEW YORK. - officials Of Local
SO of the international Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union at meeting
of their Executive Board on Tuesday
refused to permit a committee of
eight. members of the Industrial IN
ion, consisting Of Koretz, Boruchow-
itz, Davidoff, Tuchman, Muchnick,
Dvorkin and Weiss to take up prop
osals for unity in the forthcoming
cloak strike.
Wassielievsky, chairman of the
local, informed the committee that
the only way to establish unity is for
the Industrial Union to liquidate it
self and become part of the Inter
national.
In the meantime the Executive
Board meeting was hastily brought
to a close, when the officials recog-
nized that some members of the
Board were strongly inclined towards
unity with the Industrial Union. A
special meeting is being arranged to
mobilize the pressers to force action
by the administration on the pro-
posals for unity.
