COUNTY AGENT
NEEDED here.
FitzSimons Tells Kiwanis
of Benefits Lost by
Not Having One

Because it has no agricultural
agent, Henderson county is losing
not only the direct financial bene-
fits now being granted by the fed
eral government, but is also be-
ing deprived of the many indirect
benefits that come from being well
organized agriculturally, Frank l..
FitzSimons, prominent farmer,
said hits afternoon in an address
to the Kiwanis club.
Mr.. FitzSimons spoke for the
clubs agriculture committee, and
at the conclusion of his address
the proposal to restore the county
agents and home demonstration
offices was enthusiastically en-
dorsed, and the committee was
asked to convey this sentiment to
the board of county commission
ers. The committee includes X.
H. Station, chairman. Charles r.
Toms, who presented Mr.. Fltz-
Simons to the meeting, DR.. w. q.
Wilson and DR.. John Woodcock:
After reviewing agricultural
progress in the county when an
agent was on duty and contrast
ing conditions existing then with
the present lack of organization
in the county, the speaker said a
county agents services are sorely
needed and that, in addition,
every high school in the county
should have an agriculture teach

pupils to study Latin" he assert
ed, "but we are depriving large
majority of them of the benefits
of instruction in the vocation in
which perhaps 90 per cent of them
will later derive their livelihood"

'DRYS DEMAND
new BEER BILL
Be DEFEATED
Leading Men Of Dry Forces
in State Appear Before
Committee
Rv MARSHALL ANDREWS
In;t.d pes, Staff Correspondents

BY MARSHALL ANI,
United Press Staff Correspondent
RALEIGH, Feb. 14.-UP)-
While the joint finance commit
tee of the general assembly yes;
terdav temporarily sidetracked
the sales tax substitute plan, Ju-
dietary committee No. 2 OF the
house stole it's place in the spot
light. a.. >u.h c.ro
lima drvs rose to demand that the
hill Of Representatives Cone of
Gnilford, Royster of Granville,
and Cook of Alamance. providing
for sale of full strength beer, be
defeated. The bill would permit
manufacture and sale of beer con-
tanning the percentage of alcohol
legalized by the federal govern
ment.
IRE we're DR.. w. L. Poteat, presl-
dent emeritus of Wake Forest col
lege. and Gale X. Burgess, vice
president of the United Dry
Forces. Also among those who
opposed the measure were DR.. j.
Y Joyner, of LAGRANGE; DR.. Hen
nv Louis Smith, former president
of Washington and Lee univer-
sity; Mrs. w. B. Lindsey of Char
lotte, president of the state W. c.
T. u; w. T. Shaw, of Raleigh,
and J. Paul Barringer, of San
ford.
A number of beer concerns in
the state interested in passage of
the measure were represented by
I. M. Bailey, Raleigh lawyer.
The joint finance committee,
which yesterday heard Represen-
tatives Lumpkin of Franklin and
Mcdonald of Forsyth present a
s12,O0O,OO0 substitute revenue
plan for the sales tax yesterday
found itself flooded with requests
for hearings from interests which
would be affected by the substi-
tute. In order to arrange for
these hearings, the committee
spent the afternoon hearing argu-
ments on the proposed tax on
chain stores. Indications were
that the tax would be recommend
ed, but on some basis other than
that of floor space.
While these revenue-seekjng
studies were under way, the joint
appropriations committee gave ev-
cry indication it would favor a
senate bill appropriating $4,000
for statewide police radio sys-
tenn.
In the general assembly yester-.
day, the uniform drivers license
bill passed third reading and went
to the house, where it will prob
ably be placed at once on the cal
endar. The house roads commit
tee sat with the roads committee
of the senate in hearings which
produced the present bill.
The senate debated at length a
bill proposed by beauty shop OPP
orators to place strict regulation
on their profession. Discussion
centered around an amendment
which would knock down the pres
ent examining board and author
ize the governor to set up another
in it's place.
After more than an hour of
debate, the measure was recon-
mitted to the committee on health
after a suggestion had been made
to send it to the committee on
conservation and development.
Both houses were to reconvene

"He admitted to me-" Low said,
'that the evidence produced by
the state looked very damaging

But he thought his own witnesses
should have been given more

depressed"
There was absolute silence when
the verdict was delivered.

The same instructions had been
given to Mrs. Hauptmann, the
