ACTION IS NOT.

BUILDING Dam
People Fail to Learn Who
Backed Call of Last
Nights Meeting
DEPLORE REVIVAL
OF CONTROVERSY
(By J. T. FAIN)

A citizens meeting called to
assemble at the city hall Wednes-
day evening, through the medium
of a letter signed by six citizens
of Hendersonville, as related in
news story in this newspaper yes
terday, resulted in a somewhat
stormy session of around two
hours, in near personal encoun-
ter between R. Lee Whitmire, one
of the sponsors, of the meeting,
and Prof. S. P. Werner of rBre-
ward, but it also resulted in the
taking no action whatever on the
proposition which assembled the
gathering, the question of resum-
ing the IVA dam fight in this
county and Pennsylvania. No res
olutions or motions were present.
ed to the meeting, except a mo-
ton to adjourn proposed early in
the meeting by Esquire w. l..
Miller, and renewed by him until
it was seconded and adopted with
out opposition, after, apparently,
the crowd had tired of witnessing
the fun. ~ g
H. B. Kelly was proposed -sna'
unanimously elected chairman of
the meeting, saying that he had
signed the call for the gathering
without knowing much about it,
and would ask R. Lee Whitmire
to explain the purpose of the
meeting. Col. Whitmire spoke
briefly, did not go into details or
present any information, only
stated that he understood that
Congressman j. j. McSwain of
South Carolina had, on the occa-
sion of visit to Hendersonville
last week, proposed to build a
dam in the French Broad valley,
if majority of the people want
ed it. He said the South Carolina
congressman stated that IVA was
ready and willing to go ahead
with the project on this basis.
Thos. H. Franks followed Mr..
Whitmire and said that in view
of the fact that the meeting had
been called by letter, which, as
far as he had been able to ascer-
tain, was mailed almost exclusive
Ily to citizens favorable to dam
building, he thought the meeting
should be informed as to who
originated the idea, wrote and
mailed the letter and induced six
we'll known citizens to sign 1t. Mr..
Franks thought the meeting
should have this information be-
cause the call for the gathering
stated that it was for the purpose
of considering whether Hender-
son, Pennsylvania and Buncompe
counties would resume the dam
building agitation, and endorse
project or recommend that 1t be
dropped" -,
Naturally, according to the
view of Mr.. Franks and others
who talked on the subject, II the
meeting was composed OF people
favorable to the project, 1t W0ulo
receive endorsement, regarolesSS
of majority sentiment in this anu
the other counties. -
Much of the talk and wranghne
which followed centered around
the manner in which the meeting
had been called. 1t was soon EVIL
dent that regardless of the ques,,
tion of who had received or hac
, not received invitations, man!
persons opposed to dam building
, were present. In this connection
it was brought out by Esquire
Miller that while the people OF

For bites, the general rule may be laid down; Soothe, don't scratch as scratching bite seldom brings any relief and may set up infection. A wet cloth, soaked in mildly al- kaline solution, like ammonia or bak ing soda, will do more to relieve mosquito-bite itching than any amount of rubbing.
 When you get stung the first thing to do is to get the sting out of the wound-for bees usually leave their bayonets Sheathed in their victims flesh. It is better to lift the sting out with the tip of a penknife than to pull it out with fingers or tweez- CTS. The latter method will squeeze more poison into the wound, from the Still-adhering poison Sacs.
 Treatment after stinging will de- pend on what stung you. If it was a bee, the poison is acid, and should be counteracted with an alkaline solution, as in the case of a mos quito bite. If the Stinger was wasp or hornet, the poison is aka line and acid treatment is called for. Vinegar or lemon juice are ready household remedies.

 1 The air ministry launched it's new program for substantial increas es in British fighting planes, airdrom es, and royal air force personnel.
 Government departments were instructed to keep close watch on all phases of German re-armament, in view of official admissions that Britain still did not know whether it had full information concerning Reichsfuehrer Hitler's objectives.
 Informed quarters said they did not think the Franco-Russian nut ual assistance pact would impede Germany's entrance into non-aggres- sion agreements, since Hitler rec ently indicated he would not con- slider such conventions as any bar rier.

 WASHINGTON, Aug, 14, -Vaca- tionists can avoid poison ivy thornS and thistles if they are seen in time because they are rooted" and one has to get to them to get into trouble, recent bulletin issued here says, and continues:
 But the many legged, many winged bearer of bites and stings can and do pursue us, defy smudges and ointments, and wriggle through chinkS in our screen armor. We get bitten, as a rule, because some creeping or flying thing wants a meal at our expense
 Mosquitoes, deerfies, ticks, sand feas and their all too numerous ilk, are simply hungry. We get stung usually, because we have injured. angered or unintentionally menaced bees and hornets Scorpions merely strike in self-defense. But no matter what the cause, the afflicted ones and that includes pretty nearly all of us, want a cure.

Moans And Croans
 From A Morgue
 Cause Of Chills
But Sandy and Fireman Brave Fun
 eral ParlOr and Solve Mystery
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

w. I. (Sandy) Levy is not ordinar- fly a superstitious man and is rarely ever given to scares over ghoulish in cidents.
 Late one night, however, he was not quite certain of his convictions. Walking by the Graham Funeral Parlors and morgue at midnight he was startled to hear unearthly sounds issuing from the establish ment; noises that suspiciously re- sembled what might be taken for the utterances of a ghost.
 As he paused in his walking he list ened more closely for a minute. His first impressions were only height ened.
 Someone, or something, was in the morgue and groaning. Levy decid- ed to investigate closer and, seeing a light burning in the firemen's quarters across the street, he weat there and told his story to two fire men who accompanied him back to the morgue.
 They tried the door and found it unlocked. Once the door was open- ed the unearthly noises came out the louder. Each of the men hesi- tated a bit and then entered. They found a switch and with lights turned on saw the source of their wghostly sounds"
 A drunk had found his way into the place and had made bed on a coffin. With his coat and shoes re- moved and pipe carefully placed on a nearby chair he lay there moaning in a drunken stupor.
 Friends of the man appeared on the street about this time and claim ed the "body" which was removed to boat on which he is fisherman.

WEAK PRISON SYSTEMS RE- SPONSIBLE FOR CRIMES

(By The Associated PreSS)


 PORTLA AND, Aug. II, James A. Reed, former United States senator from Missouri, believes such crim- es as the Weyerhaeuser Kidnapping are made possible by the action of weak parole systems which turn criminals and degenerates loose to prey again on society.
 The outspoken Missouri liberal was here with Mrs Reed He was the hero of one kidnaping-that of Mrs. Nell Qinland Donnelly, whom he later married.
 Mrs. Donnely was the victim of kidnapping gang in Kansas City in December 1881 Senator Reed declar ed then that if the woman was harmed he would personally lead campaign of vengeance that would not end until all the kldnaperS were dead Mrs. DonnelIy was released immediately without payment of ransom.
 Reed described the Weyerhaeus- CT Kidnapping as brutal and hOrrib- le crime and said: ''The kidnapers were ex-conVicts, released by some sentimental parole board He was bitter in his condem n ation of maud lin sentim ent' in handling of convict ed holsters.
 Sympathy and sen timent, he de- clared, should be reserved for the victims of the crime, rather than for it's perpetrators

Bremen Against High School in Final Game
 Before Holidays
GAMES TONIGHT 5:30-Firemen vs. J.H.S. S:30-Sabin's vs. TallapoOsa.

The City League basketball folds up until after the holidays when the final whistle sounds at the high school gym tonight, where Sabin's Clothiers meet the big Tallapoosa squad In the opener at 7:30 o. clock, Coach Hautalas Crimson Bears blends with Coach Leonard Hclmquist's Red Bremen in the school boys first big time test.
 The Sailors have the edge, with a present 50-50 break in games. The Haberdashers have won only one game this season.. Both squads boast a high scorer in Dutch Behrends and George Tanghe.
 In the "colorful' curtain-raiser. the Bears will be matching youth and speed against age and exper- fence. It should be good game. Krause Concreters were slated for this event, but the Bremen were substituted, as the latter squad is composed of men whose size com pares more favorably with future high school competition, and will give the youngsters better try-out against the kind of opponents they may expect in games this season.
 Should the Tallapoosa fail to re- turn to her base in time for the games, reserve high school teams will be substituted, A. B. Phillips, superintendent of city schools, said this afternoon.
