Definite duties of the inspector

The nine charges against Colo

sioner George E. Allen and H.
Winship Wheatley, president OF
the District Bar Association, were
only q part of "a submitted by
william I. Green, president Of the
local unit of the international
Union of Operating Engineers.
Mr.. Green told the trial board
that he could not divulge his evil
dence until the investigation was
made complete, insisting that Ger
tain of the charges pretained to
Captain Dram and that he also
should have been on trial.
Commissioner Allen, who was at
home today i'll with a cold, has
let it be known that he intends
to study the other charges sub
mitted by Mr.. Green before max
ing the formal presentation of the
trial boards finding to the COM
missioners. It is likely the other
commissioners will take similar
action.
Other Charges Studied
Meanwhile Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Elwood Seal who,
with his associate, Chester Gray,
conducted prosecution of the
Oehmann trial, said he intended
to carry on his investigation of
the other charges made by Mr..
Green until he received further
orders from the commissioners.
Mr.. Seal pointed out that the
nine charges selected were the
ones which he and Mr.. Gray con-
sidered the most "likely of being
sustained" Among the remaining
charges are some which relate to
Colonel Oehmann as well as Cap
tain Dram.
Difference between the en-
gineerS union, which fostered the
charges, and Captain Dram broke

District official favored a smoke

"Kins Kong'' At
 Theatre Tonight

King Kong.
 Who is he? What is he? How were the scenes filmed?
 These and a hundred questions are being asked by persons who have seen King Kong, the amazing and imaginative RKO-Radio Picture cur rent at the Dream Theatre with Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong and Bruce Cabot featured.
 How did Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, it's producers and directors, so skilfully maneuver King Kong, who is as tall as a four story building, about the streets of New York?
 On this point they are as silent as the Sphinx, but their silence does not alter the fact that King Kong is the screens greatest novelty to date and it is doubtful if it will ev- CT be surpassed as production miracle.

 "Yes. the umbrellas and the hand kerchiefs are downstairs madam, '' the girl replied.
 Mrs. Clubber--It look as if we are going to have war doesn't it?

OdeU WOOdie Killed
In Wreck In Wilkes
Former Peak Creek Resident
Fatally Injured I'm Taxi
Pickup Collision

Odell Woodie, son of the late
Austin Woodie of Peak Creek, was
killed and five others injured Mon
day morning between the Wilkes
bores when the taxi he was driving
collided with pickup on highway
421. Mr.. Woodie was employed as a
driver by the Woodie Taxi Co., of
North Wilkesboro. His mother, Mrs
Austin Woodie, is living in North
Wilkesboro and he had been max
ing his home with her.
The Journal Patriot gives this re-
port of the tragedy.
The taxi was travelling toward
Wilkesboro and the pickup was 60
ing east when the collision took
place on the pavement of the road.
Both vehicles were practically de-
molished.
Richard Johnson, of N. Wilkes
boro, driver of the pickup, suffered
severe decorations on his face and
painful injury to one knee.
Miss Della Eller of N. Wilkes
boro, occupant of the taxi, is per-
haps the most seriously hurt in the
list of the injured. Her skull was
fractured and she suffered severe
decorations on her right leg. Hel
condition was described late today
at the hospital here as being
critical.
George Wilson Shew, the other
occupant of the taxi, was painfully
but not critically, injured, suffering
i bruises and cuts on his face anc
! hands.
Mrs. Lizzie Call, of Call posi-
Office, has both legs broken, hel
right leg above the knee and the
left below. T. R. Cannon, the Other
occupant of the pickup, received
cuts on his face and hands.
According to reports coming
from witness of the tragedy, the
taxi was on the left side of the roaC
when the cars were meeting anc
apparently the driver of the pickup
turned toward the left side of the
road when at the same time the
taxi swerved to the right and the
headon collision was the result.

~e~eO 49,
Honestly, girls, wouldn't you
think a boy who would sign his
name 'Billye' just a little bit
sissy And if Ray became
Raj or Marion was turned in
to 'Maryon' wouldn't you have
to laugh at the Stiffness Of a
boy who could thus twist a
perfectly good name out of
shape?
"Such things are just plain
affectation, putting on airs as
your grandmother would say.
To the person who reads a let
ter signed in such a way there
comes glimpse of a girl who
is not doing her natural good
sense justice. While ones name
is her own, and she has per-
feet right to spell it as she
likes, little things like that in
fiuence other folks estimate Of
you, and you can not afford to
have them size you up as lack
ing in plain common sense just
because you fell a bit ashamed
of your sensible, old-fashioned
name and make a freak Of it."

BUSINESS is REALLY
BETTER

The Industrial News Review
answers the question of how
does business compare nov
with that of year ago by say
ing that it depends on where
you lve-but for the majority
of people, it is better.
In all but six states of the
union September business ac-
tivity was greater than it was a
year before, according to the
u. S. News. In three Of those
states-New York, Virginia and
Louisiana-it was worse. In the
other three North Carolina,
Nevada. and Texas-it was un-
changed.
Throughout the country, re-
ports show that improvement
is continuing, and at an accel-
Grating rate, in almost every
industry.

THE NEGRO MOUNTAIN
ROAD PROJECT

It would appear that the
Negro Mountain road will actu-
ally become a reality. This
column has echoed and re-echo-
ed the advantages to the county
and to every citizen of the
county that such a road would
create in. enlivened tourist
trade and in helping to adver-
tise the extent of our natural
endowments.
Many, who do not approve of
the road, take their stand be-
cause they feel that the build
ing of any other regular road
would be much more sensible
than that of building a road for
scenic purposes only. The man
who thinks so is not far sighted
and does not realize what
drawing card the Negro Noun
tain road will be, nor does he
realize that the state will build
all our roads eventually, but it
cannot undertake such projects
as the proposed scenic road will
be.
Even the beginning of such
an undertaking calls for some
sort of celebration, what would
the completed work need to do
it honor?

WE NEED TO LEARN
ABOUT FIRE

There is nothing more neces-
sary at time than fire, and there
is nothing more dangerous-if
not rightly handled.
Each year, The Skyland Post
has had the sad duty of report
ing to it's readers that a home
and all the possessions of the
home has been lost by fire, or
that children have been burned
to death. The Green Valley
tragedy is the first report that
we have had of adults being
burned to death, but it all goes
back to the fact that we are not
educated to the fact that fire is
dangerous and we do not know
how to handle It in an emer-
gency.
Had the Green Valley girls
known that running out into
the air is the worst possible
thing to do with burning cloth
ing, but that they should have
grabbed the nearest table cloth,
window curtain, quilt, rug, or
coat and wrapped themselves
in it in order to smother the fire
out, their story might have
been different one. Often a
burning house might be saved
if the person or persons knew
what to do.

distribute, free of charge, book
lets on what to do and not to do
