THE SEVENTH AVENUE
RAILROAD CROSSING

Editor, The Timcs-News:
Shortly after the undersigned
came to Hendersonville, about six
years ago, he was asked to speak
to our Rotary club on Community
Projects that the club should un-
dertakc. One of the projects that
he brought to the clubs attention
was the matter Of the Seventh
avenue railroad crossing. He told
the club: "People will be killed
there. It is just a matter of when
and how many" Since that time.
at least five people have Dcen
killed at that crossing.
Once more the Undersigned
would, through your columns, be-
come "a foreteller by saying that
we are not through killing people
at that crossing unless we change
the crossing or put gates there.
Let's not allow this year to roll
around without doing something
about that crossing!
The highway crossings on
Eighth at Church and at Main are
two other good death traps. The

GREAT DEVELOPMENT PLAN PRO-
POSED FOR HENDERSON AND
PENNSYLVANIA COUNTIES

Inc news COluulllS VI Ihlo iS"oPePNN
TODAY carry story relating to move
ment sponsored by our County Commits
sioners and other citizens in official posi-
ton as we'll as some who are merely prI-
vate citizens, which movement proposes
large development program for the coun-
ty. Pennsylvania county will be asked to
Join Henderson in this movement, as 1t IS
of equally vital Importance to that county
The news story gives the details of the
program on which the commissioners and
the committee have been working for sew
eral months, and in which they have en-
listed the efforts of federal, State and
IVA officials. The Times-News is inform
ed that at least ten men in official station
with government and IVA agencies have
visited Hendersonville and conferred with
the local committee and surveyed the field.
This development plan is right in line
with the plan endorsed two years ago by
The Times-News, and this paper is still
heartily in favor of it. We believe it is
feasible and practical, and if adopted and
worked out in a thorough manner it would
make of the Henderson and Pennsylvania
area of Western North Carolina highly
developed and most prosperous section of
the State.
The plan is a drainage, reforestation
and general rehabilitation program.
1t would relieve the valley lands of the
two counties from the certainty of peri
odical overflow of the streams of the area.
1t would reclaim swamp lands; perhaps
bringing under cultivation some lands
which probably have never been Guilt
waited.
1t would make possible Improvement OF
all farming operations in the valleys of
the two counties, thus increasing produc-
ton to the extent of one to two million
dollars, according to the estimates Of
farmers and farm experts.
1t would take the very poor lands out
of cultivation for re-forestation purposes
and would remove the population of such
lands to better lands and better homes
than are now possessed by these residents.
1t would build a ready market for the
valley land owners who, in some cases,
are said to desire to dispose of their hold
ings.
1t would stimulate the industrial devel-
opment of the two counties, also; and It
would create a vast amount of work for
common labor, mechanics and other work
ers, over period of years; and at the end
of the program, the two counties would be
left intact, with all their. lands improved
and highly developed and dense. popu-
latioD living and laboring under most ia
vorable conditions of progress and pros
perity. a&t
The foregoing estimate is not based on
the dreams of real estate. promoters and
spectators, or the idle thoughts of street
corner orators, but is based; on the thought
full judgment of public officials and some
of the most practical business men of the
county. They believe that THIS program
can be put over and that the time has come
4 to do it.
| We concur in the view that the time for
action has arrived and believe that results
can be obtained if the people of Hender-
son and Pennsylvania counties get together

"Well, that's the last time Pm going to be seen
in courtroom on charge arising, through my

1t was young Franklin Roosevelt, son of the
president, talking, when he paid fine of SO and
costs in the court at Orange, Conn.,, having plead

that SO was the minimum fine.

traffic violations While the last case was pending

probably other states, for fast or reckless driving
Last March he reported to Boston police that his
car had struck woman and he carried her to the
hospital damage suit for $4,000 is now pend

In short this Roosevelt boy had been helling
around the country in his car the same as mil
lions of other youngsters and had demonstrated
his utter unftness to be trusted with motor We
hicle. His conduct was putting his father to open
shame. He has at last come to, or been brought
to, that realization, judging by his remarks at Or

Rev. j. M. Justice in his very
timely article a few days ago
states that there are 100000
acres of land in Henderson coun-
lty. One hundred thousand acres
are not profitable as farm lands
because of hills and mountains.
Twenty thousand, he states, suf-
fer from poor drainage and over
flows. Now l would like to raise
this question: How many Of the
remaining $4,000 are suffering
from soil erosion?
1t seems to me that a very
practical project and one that
would have permanent value
would be drainage and soil ero-
sion project that would embrace
all of the French Broad basin
that lies in Henderson county. IF
other adjoining counties wished
to cooperate the scope of the
project could be enlarged.

Abraham Lincoln's Wisdom, His Heritage
to Nation, Stands Test of Time

VANISHING years have failed
to dim the fame OF Abraham
Lincoln. instead they have
served to bring home to new
generations the value OF his her.
itage-the wisdom which was
the mainstay of nation during
its throes of disunion and which
is as applicable today as then.
During the hectic prohibition
era and since. extreme reformers
might have garnered something
Of value from a speech made SO
years ago, in Springfield, ILL.,. by
the great wartime president.
He said. then. in part:
..When the conduct Of men Is
to be Influenced, persuasion
kind, unassuming persuasion
should ever be adopted. 1t Is an
old and true maxim that "a drop
of honey catches more flies than
a gallon OF gall
$50 with men. II you would
win a man to your cause, first
convince him that you are his
sincere friend. His heart is the
great high road to his reason"
This Lincolnian policy goes
long way toward explaining the
marvellous mastery of the hui
man heart which. together with
his keen appeal to the human
mind. accounted for the rise to
eminence of the humble mid
western raii-splitter.
ONE Of the great presidents
- sentences embraced whole
treatise on the subject of open
mindedness:
Holding It q sound maxim
that 1t is better only to be some
times right than at all times
wrong, as soon as discover my
opinions to be erroneous shall
be ready to ren0unce Them"
However, IL is in the field OF
public issues that Lincoln's coun-
sci has widest value to posterity.
He put in sentence the whole
meaning Of democracy when he
said In a debate:
mo man is good enough to
govern another man without
that Others consent"

Airplane Idea in 1910

The airplane and submarine
were thought of in the middle of the
Seventeenth century. This was de-
clared by j. f. Rees, principal of
the University of South Wales. He
referred to a book written about
1910 by Lord Herbert Raglan. The
title is "a Century of Invention"
and the volume contains 100 sugges-
tions, among them being ideas for
airplanes and submarines.

airy right to dismember or over
throw it.
IF the policy of the govern.
ment, upon vital questions af.
fecting the whole people, is to
be irrevocably fixed by deci.
sions of the supreme court
the people will have ceased to
be their own rulers.
Labor is prior to and inde-
pendent of capital. Capital is
only the fruit of labor, and could
never have existed If labor had
not first existed. Labor Is the
superior Of capital and deserves
much the higher consideration"
These words. which clearly IL
lustrate President Lincoln's re-
markable grasp of fundamentals,
might have been spoken within
the last several years.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1935-02-14

Advice worth needing in these
critical post-depression times is
Lincoln's statement:
"We must not be led by ex-
element and passion to do that
which our o b er judgments
would not approve in our cooler
moments. In grave emer-
gencies, moderation is generally
safer than radicalism.'
And yet the president was no
stu b born, arch-conservative
standpatter. Consider the fol-
lowing:
"This country, with its insti-
tutions, belongs to the people
who inhabit it. Whenever they
shall grow weary of the existing
government, they can exercise
their constitutional right of
amending it, or their revolution
