BABY BORN BY MOTHER
AFTER FALL INTO WELL

SANFORD, Oct. ga fine boy
baby weighing over seven pounds,
made most unsusal entrance into
the world Tuesday afternoon, &C.
cording to stories circulated here.
His mother, Mrs. Alton Jordon,
near Gulf, went out to the well in
the. yard of her home to draw wa
ter. Becoming faint, she fell into
the well, in which it is reported
that there was 10 feet of water.
Being attracted by the cries OF
the children, the frantic husband
pulled up the mother, who had a
new baby son along with her.
Both, shivering with cold and
drenching wet, were rushed to Lee
county hospital where, reports to-
day say, the boy is a fine helathy
little fellow and that the mother is
doing well.

Burn Out Torch Attempting To

Yeggmen who burned out their
torch attempting to open an I'M
locked vault door made water
haul early yesterday morning at
the Bank of Stokesdale.
It was reported to the office of
Sheriff Joe S. Phipps that the yeggs
entered the bank by way of the
front door. Then, without trying
the vault door, which was unlock
ed, they brought an acetylene torch
into action and cut around the COM
bination.
Inside the vault they found a
heavy safe. They burned several
holes in it, then poured in a guam
tity of nitroglycerine and set off a
blast which failed, however, to
open the safe. They then took up
their tools and left.

BACK-TO-LAND is
URGED BY ALTMAN
National Farm School Head, At
Festival, Says Thinking Boys
See Wisdom lin Movement

Herbert D. Altman, president of
the National Farm School, advo-
Gated back-to-the-land movement
in a speech delivered at Doyles-
town, Pa, last week, and pointed
to the possibilities of farming as a
creative, independent career"
Mr.. Altman told the faculty, stu
dents and friends at the harvest
festival and forty-eighth annual
meeting that the school has wealth
cred economic storms and 'func-
tons more efficiently today that at
any time since its incorporation"
Several hundred persons from
Philadelphia, New York and other
nearby cities attended. The school
was founded by the Rev. DR..
Joseph I. Krauskopf, late Philadel-
phia rabbi, and is non-sectarian
philanthropy sponsored by the Jews
of America to increase the social
and educational welfare of Ameri-
can youth.
'"The National Farm School is
considered by educators one of the
largest and best equipped secon-
Diary agricultural schools in the
country" President Altman declar-
ed.
"Its reputation for farm training,
character building and develop
ment of worthwhile citizens is evil
denced by large waiting list of
worthy applicants. Our three-year
course is in intensive training peri
cd of thirty-six months, equal in
time to the average four-year
course"
Speaking of a back-to- the-farm
movement, Mr.. Altman said:
Vocational guidance agencies
now give valuable information and
advice to young people to assist
them in choosing the vocation or
occupation best suited to their tall
ents and temperament.
''In this era, characterized by
revolutionary changes in former
social and economic structures,
serious-minded boys leaving high
school realize conditions and see
the possibilities of farming as a
creative, Independent career. They
weigh the advantages Of country
living as a profitable vocation for
those scientifically trained. The
movement back to the farm there
fore receives consideration from
those who prefer to work with ma
ture, rather than become white
collar workers." !.

FATE OF IVA.
TO BE DECIDED
BY COURT SOON
Problem Whether Uncle Sam
Should Interfere With
Private Interests

Another death sentence" battle
between the Roosevelt administra-
ton and the power companies APP
proaches the decisive stage-this
time with the life of government
owned utility at stake.
The constitutionality of the pow
er disposal program OF the Tenn
essee valley authority, one of the
first pillars of the new deals"
planned economy, awaits decision
by the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States.
The big question to be decided
is:~Has the federal government the
right to produce electric power for
sale in competition with privately
owned companies?
'Yardstick" For Rates
Not only is the validity of the
governments program of supplying
cheap power to southern consumers
involved, but the case takes on
nationwide significance because of
the administration expressed in
tention to apply the Tennessee ex-
pertinent as a "yardstick" for de-
termining "fair" rates throughout
the country.
The challenge of Twas constitu-
tionality has been carried to the
high court by IA preferred stock
holders of the Alabama Power
company. They contend that per
manent operation by the govern
ment of a business of manufacture
and sale of a commodity for pri-
vate consumption in competition
with citizens is not a legitiment
function of the federal govern
ment."
Violation Of Amendment
They maintain that such a bust
ness operated by the government,
under pretense of disposing of
federal property" is in violation of
the tenth amendment to the consti-
tuition. The tenth amendment speci-
fies that 'the powers not delegated
to the United tSates by the consti-
tuition, nor prohibited by it to the
states expressly, or to the epople."
Attorneys for IVA assert that
<'the constitution no more prohibits
the federal government from en-
gaging in a proprietary business
than it forbids the creation of cor
porations to conduct banking
business; neither is an end in itself
but each may be the means Of
reaching legitimate end"
The governments right to con-
struct Wilson dam and to install
generators in the interest of nation
al defense and flood control is not
disputed. But the power company's
stockholders do challenge the man
ner of disposing of power created
by the dam, alleging it is the pur-
pose of iva to undersell its pri-
vate competitors.
