AS ICE GIVES WAY UNDER HIS
WEIGHT ON RAINBOW LAKE
Heroic Efforts Made to
Save Him by Boy Scout
Companion
IS FOUND DEAD ON
REACHING HOSPITAL

Edward R. Sutherland, Jr., IA
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. E.
R. Sutherland, of Fifth avenue
west, was drowned this morning
about 10 o'clock when ice cover
ing Rainbow Lake in Laurel
Park, broke and dropped him into
the icy waters.

80 minutes after the ice was
broken by J. S. Sargent, Jr., who
lives nearby. Mr.. Sergeant

the lake they stopped to examine
the ice covering it. Young Suth-
erland started to walk across the
ice and was about in the middle
of the lake when the ice broke
and dropped him into the water.
Young Bracket ran to the Sar-
geant home nearby and obtained
q rope which he attempted to get
to Sutherland. The rope was
short and in an effort. to reach
the boy in the water he walked
part of the way out on the ice,
but was forced back as the ice
started to give way with the
weight of his body. He also at
tempted to get a log to young
Sutherland, but failing in this he
went again to the Sergeant home
and the boat and hook were
brought to the scene by Mr.. Sar-
geant. The boy had gone under
when the boat reached the lake
but the body was recovered in a
few minutes and rushed to the
hospital. .
Mr.. Sutherland was out OF the
city at the time of the accident,
but was reached by telephone in
Canton and Immediately rushed
back to Hendersonville.
Young Sutherland was the on
ly son of his parents. He belong

student at the local high school.
In addition to his parents, he is
survived by a sister, Miss Nancy
Sutherland, a student in Rich
mond, Va. ,
No funeral arrangements had
been made this afternoon. but
services will probably be held on
Monday.

Supplies Lacking

At the outpoSts there was a
shortage Of housing, axes, saws,
clothing and footwear. The in
sufficient supplies of food which
had been brought to the out
posts by the seven hundred horses
sent there. were all coming to an
end. Horses died from lack of
fodder. All available hay was re-
Questioned from the peasants Of
the adjoining districts. The Dis
trict Soviet passed an urgent
resolution mobilizing for work all
the peasants within it's territory.
Our office was instructed to pay
the teamSter-peasantS a bonus of
a certain amount of food supplies
for each delivery. Moscow was
sending us axes and saws by ex-
press. The communist director of
"SeveroleS" who had signed the
contract was discharged, his
technical assistant, a bourgeois
expert, was arrested on the charge
of sabotage, the whole contract
was somewhat altered. For an
additional remuneration the camp
administration undertook to full
fill the former obligations of
"SeveroleS" which the latter had
not been able to accomplish.
This was a typical instance Of
Soviet planning. The usual

WHITE PLAGUE
W0RKLAUDED

Plans for the eradication Of
tuberculosis in the District were
praised today in a letter received
by Mrs. Ernest r. Grant, manag-
ing director Of the District Tuber-
culosis Association, from DR.. Ken
dali Emerson, managing director
Of the national organization in
New York city.
The District plans, which call
for a tuberculosis survey to be
financed by a WPA grant Of $99,.
093, were described by DR.. Emer-
son as "the surest way" to bring
about the desired results.
The tuberculosis death rate In
Washington is the second highest
in the country. Commenting on
the survey, DR.. Emerson further
said:
"The National tuberculosis
Association has long felt that
the capital city of our country
should be o demonstration cen.
ter Of effective public health
work and o model for other
cities. Such activities as the
tuberculosis survey are the
surest way to bring about this
desirable objective"

Most Are Ignorant

A lot of noise, shouting, peremp-
tory commands, idiotic orders I'M
possible to execute, innumerable
long. complicated and contradic-
tory kilograms, infuriated tele-
phone conversations full Of in
timidation, useless Summoning OF
department heads for personal in
terviewS which only interrupted
their fruitful work. constant
travelling, artificial feverish activ.
ity-Such were uniformly the
working habits Of the high Off
cials with whom / came in con-
tact.
Most Of them were ignorant
people who had no idea Of pro-
ductive work. The confusion
they brought into their depart.
ments greatly retarded the efforts
Of their assistants who were
technical experts and who had to
execute their instructions. When
any documents reached the bosses
themselves, they considered it
their duty to compose a long,
high-Sounding resolution and write
it in red ink right across the docu-
ment, invaribly closing it with the
snowy display of a flowery sigma
ture. The resolution was usually
the direct opposite Of the logical
measures which should have been
adopted.
The prisoners who were EN-.
ployed as technical assistants to
the communist bosses usually paid
no attention to the fancy reSolu-
tions or prepared instructions
counteracting the same, which
were then accepted and signed by
the bosses with the same display.
Those assistants who did not
know any better and who blindly
followed the bosses resolutions
eventually found themselves
caught in a trap. If the resolu-
ton brought gratifying results the
bosses were given the credit, If
they did harm the responsibility
fell on the prisoner assistant who
had acted as technical advisor.

started and the whole new under
taking dies a natural death. At
the beginning of each such new
enterprise the newspapers are full
Of descriptions of the imposing
new example Of Socialist conStruc-
tion," but when the work is dis
continued the papers do not men
ton a word about it, so that the
reading public remains under the
impression that 1t is proSpering,
while actually it no longer exists.
In this case things were differ
ent, because the OGPU itself had
undertaken to aid Socialist con-
struction by supplying certain
needs in the execution Of the
Five-Year Plan. REIMBURSEMENT
Of the contract meant loss Of
prestige, acknowledgement Of
faulty calculations and Of insur-
mountable obstacles the existence
Of which the OGPU had never
been willing to acknowledge. 1t
finally meant an interruption Of
work in the Five-Year Plan pro-
gram, throwing a monkey-wrench
into the machine Of Socialist con-
struction. Outrageous and quite
impossible! Besides, the prisons
throughout the land had already
been emptied and the prisoners
were already at their destinations.
They would have to be brought
back to the prisons and the
OGPU would have to give up the
profitable agreement under which
it was paid for supplying the
man-power necessary for the
execution Of the timber export
provisions of the Five-Year Plan.
Therefore it was decided to
continue the work in spite Of all
obstacles. Comrade BokSha, the
chief commander Of the Northern
Penal Camps Administration, was
expected any day to arrive from
Ust-Sysolsk, the seat Of the head
office. Special deputies were
making the rounds Of the sur
rounding villages to check up on
the fulfilment by the peasants Of
their newly-impoSed te am ter
duties and to arrest SlackerS.

Hard Blow

feeling the depression so much
that shares in the Casino, once
valued at $4,000 francs, are now

The reason for this, it was ex-

banks profit Is 11a per cent Of
the turnover, and when this drops
off the bank Is hard hit.

hit the bank for a 5000, 900 franc
