"HENDERsoN's HELPFUL PROGRAM

The caption is the Asheville Citizens
and the following paragraphs show what
that newspaper thinks about the Five-Ten
plan for reconstruction and rehabilitation
in this county. The Citizen says:
''The program adopted by Henderson county or
Saturday is one that challenges attention. AS an
nounced by Mr. G. D. White, the general chairman,
the chief objective of the $40 year farm plan m
Henderson during the coming twelve months Will
be the rehabilitation of the countys citizenship
and to this end some highly practical proposals
have been outlined and committees organized TO
put these proposals into operation.
First of all, it is planned to form community
clubs in various parts of the county and these
clubs. actively led and supported by the women
as well as by the men, will endeavor to see to it
that enough foodstuffs are produced to make sure
that no one shall lack an abundance to eat The
endeavor will be to see that every family either
has garden or a share in a garden which will be
operated for common purpose. The Red Cross and
other agencies will be asked to cooperate by re-
quirng that all those who secure assistance through
these agencies shall, if physically able to do so,
cultivate garden Or give their labor in the cult
walton of one of the community gardens. Arrange
ments viii be worked out for the canning of sur
plus vegetables and fruits looking to the require
ments of the following winter.
What Henderson county is doing should be un-
deraken in every county of the state There should
be a constructive program in every county. The
report of what is being attempted in Henderson
evidences leadership which has devoted time and
thought to the situation and which is prepared to
see it through intelligenty."

MISLEADING

The sOphistry which points out that North Caro-
linians think more of good roads than they do of
good schools is one of those charges that bring no
shame to us, not even when it is Newton D. Baker
Or Gerald w. Johnson who makes it.
1t is sharp argument that roads-over-schoos

as appropriate to say that North Carolina thinks
more of debt service than it does of its young men
and women.
For debt service is with US; we cannot shake it
Immediately, no matter how we struggle. The roads,
too are here, and their value depends upon their
maintenance and their maintenance depends upon
the continued use of them.
There is so per cent sales tax on gasoline. No
body relishes paying this tax, nor, We think, could
it be argued that it is a reasonable tax. By all
means that is, if we care anything for equity, we

HOOVER WRITES TO
YOUNG CAMPAIGNER

HAIGLER, Neb., Feb. 4. (UP).
There's one little girl here who
refuses to string along with the
majority Of the voters who elect
ed Franklin D. Roosevelt to the
presidency of the United States
last November.
Jeanette Havlik, eight years
old, had campaigned ardently in
her own small way for the re-
election Of Herbert Hoover. Her
regret knew no bounds when the
returns disclosed an overwhelm-
ing defeat for her favorite candi-
date.
Now she's more than convinc-
ed the nation erred, especially
since the arrival of a personal
letter from Hoover himself. The
letter read:
"White House,
washington, D. C.
"My Dear Jeanette:
"Your mother has told me Of
your interest in the recent cam
paign and l want you to know of
nv grateful appreciation.
"Please accept my best wishes
for happy and joyous holiday
time.
yours faithfully,

"BY ABILITY TO DEFEAT"

''The people must come to realize that govern
ment has no money except that which is taken
from their own pockets; that Uncle Sam is not
Santa Claus and the treasury is not Christmas
tree; that the efficiency of representative in
gress should be measured not by his ability to
funds from the treasury, but by his ability
to defeat the efforts of those who seek to secure
funds from the treasury"
Such was the statesmanlike statement given out
in Washington by our own Senator James F.
Byrnes and we heartily congratulate him for his
determination to do all he can to reduce govern
ment expenses.
In addition to the above statement, Senator
Byrnes said that the only hope of remedyng the
present situation rests in president who has the
courage and patriotism to act. Senator Byrnes be-
lieves that Presdent-elect Roosevelt is determined
to cut expenses to the bone and with an aroused
public sentiment favoring such program of econ
omy we believe the incoming administration is 60
ing to give taxpayers relief.-Rock Hill g. c.

This is from w. o. Sanders, editor of the Eliza

"Racketeers ride through the busiest streets in
New York City on the day after Christmas and

which hundreds of people are dining And nobody
gets excited about it. And therein lies the explana
ton of much of our misery-our inability to rouse
ourselves to pitch of good old fashioned righteous
Indignation; if We could just get good and mad all
over about some or all of our numerous social and
economic ills and Affections, we might do something
about it. But We are like lot of dumb. lazy,
thoughtless cattle content to chew our cuds swish

''These words are commended to morally fiabby

RALEIGH, Feb. 4.-Shoals are
ahead for the Reorganization
committees plan to consolidate
the highway and prison depart
ments, and opposition to the pro
posal seems to have grown with
in the past few days. The meas
ure is the only one of the reor-

bills now pending, and has been
referred back to the committee
at its own request.
Indications are that many de-
tails Of the proposed consolda-

out before it is in any kind OF
acceptable form, but even when
the matter is presented to the
senate again, it is believed that
it will provide the biggest fight
that body has seen this session.
There are several good roads
enthusiasts in the senate, includ-
ing Senator kirkpatrick of Meek
lenburg and Senator Aiken of
Catawba, who will have to be
pretty thoroughly convinced that
such a measure would not wreck
road maintenance. Senator John

Gilkey Boosted
For u. S. Post
Friends Would Make Him
Fish Commissioner
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, Feb. 4.-Friends of
j. @. Gilkey, prominent Marion
business man and a Democratic
leader for years, who is spending
several days in Raleigh, are push
ing him for the office of q. S.
commissioner of fisheries, it was
learned yesterday. Strong support
which the Mcdowell county man
is receiving, it is believed, will
make him formidable contender
for position. =
Mr.. Gilkey has been a member
of the state board of conservation
and development since its reOr-
ganization in 1927, and previous
to that time he was a member of
the former fisheries commission
board, which was merged with the
board of conservation and devel-
opment.
AS a member of the two boards
which have had supervision Of
both the inland and commercial
fisheries of North Carolina, Mr..
Gilkey has given considerable
time and thought to the propaga-
ton and protection Of game and
fish, and friends believe him to be
Thoroughly qualified to fill the
position as head of the U. S. bu-
reau Of fisheries.
Mr.. Gilkey was one of the pio-
neers in the establishment of the
system of fish hatcheries in North
Carolina. He has given close SUI
pervision to the North Carolina
hatcheries, particularly those in
the mountain section of the state.
Mr.. Gilkey is we'll known
throughout North Carolina. He
has been active in Democratic
party circles for years. Last year
he was a candidate in the Demo-
cratic primary for congress from
the 18th district. but was defeat
ed by the veteran, Rep. Zebulon
Weaver by a small majority.

Hundreds See
Fletcher Play
On Plant Life
Posters Prepared There
To Be Shown at Ma
tion-Wide Meeting

FLETCHER, Feb. 4. Especially.
An audience of 500 people saw
the program presented by the
Fletcher Parent-Teacher associa-
ton on Thursday evening at the
Fletcher high school, featuring
nature study play by the pupils Of
the seventh grade. The play, "a
Plea for Our Wild Flowers" was
directed by Mrs. D. D. Horton,
teacher of that grade: Mrs. U. G.
Speed of Biltmore Forest, who Is
the North Carolina chairman of
the Conservation Club of America,
and Mrs. Crosby Adams of Mon
treat, who had charge OF the
music and who favored the audi
ence with several selections on the
piano.
Mrs. Speed arranged the play.
parts Of which she composed.
Children impersonating wild flow
ers appeared before Mother Ma
ture" and put in a plea for their
protection. The bluebird and the
chickadee. North Cardinals bird,
appeared with a plea for the pro-
lection of those plants having
seed or berries for the birds. The
flowers represented were golden
rod. North Cardinals state flower,
was portrayed by Opal Young
blood, in leading role, the daisy,
buttercup, blue gentian, trillium,
stawartra. rhododendron. laurel,
wild rose, lady slipper, dogwood,
yellow lily. pitcher plant and vio-
let also being portrayed.
During the year, the pupils of
the grade have made an extensive
study of these flowers, beginning
in the fall. Mrs. Speed has as
sisted in directing their efforts
throughout the year. They have
made many field trips. Later they
studied bird life, also making
many field trips to advance this
work. In connection with these
studies they have made some very
attractive posters. These were ex-
hibited at the close of the play
and the work explained by Mrs.
Speed and Mrs. Horton. Some Of
the posters will be taken to New
York City by Mrs. Speed and
shown at the annual meeting of
the Conservation Club of America.
The children of the grade have
adopted resolutions not to do
anything harmful to the bird or
plant life, never to pull plant by
the roots and if they want BIOS
SONS. to use knife or scissors.
They have learned that some of
the rarest flowers of the Liliaceae
family to which the trilliums be-
long, those of the Orchidaceae
family, which includes the lady
slipper and the gentinaceae fam
lily, including the blue gentian,
which takes three years to per-
petuate itself. are fast becoming
obliterated. With this in view they
have pledged themselves to pro-
tect these plants and those bear
ing seeds for birds such as the
dogwood, as we'll as the more COM
mon flowers.
The Fletcher school has had the
honor of being the first school to
have the assistance of Mrs. Speed
in this work. She is taking up the
work with the students at Mon
treat Normal. A group from there
visited the Fletcher school last
week, and reviewed the work as
demonstrated by the seventh
grade.

Nations Forest
Animals Gain In
Number, in 1882

FORT COLLINS. Colo, Feb.
4.-UP).-The animal pOpula-
ton of the Roosevelt National
Forest is showing an increase.
When the United States forest
rangers called the roll, recently,
1874 predatory, game and fur
bearing animals answered "pres-
ent," the forest census report for
1882 shows.
Deer led all the rest in the
number of inhabitants roaming
the forest. The number of deer
was placed at 6528 as compared
with ITO in the forest in 1918,
the year the Roosevelt Forest
was increased to its present size.
$50 ELK
Eight hundred and fifty elk,
145 mountain sheep and 226
black, or brown bear, are regular
residents. In 1918 there were
1879 elk, 235 mountain sheep and
81, bear. ...
Predatory asimals continued to
show an increase despite the eff
forts of government trappers and
hunters. There were 1175 coy
Otes, S32 wildcats and 43 noun
tain lions within the forest linn
it's.
The count of fur-bearing ami
mails showed ALSO beaver. $40
fox, 1895 martin, 1910 mink, 610
badger and 2100 ermine, in the
area.
GAME REFUGE
A game refuge has been estab-
lished through the center of the
forest and this, in a large mea-
sure, was responsible for the in
crease in game animals, forestry
officials said. Also the short
hunting season and the rigid en-
forcement of the game laws
helped the a nimal kingdom to
thrive.
During 1882, it was estimated,
hunters killed 315 deer and nine
bear in the area outside the game
refuge strip. Trappers did away
with PIT coyotes, two mountain
lions and 50 wildcats.
