breakers and Robbers
in the County.

At the regular meeting of the
directors of the Chamber of Com.
merce, held Thursday evening af
ter lengthy informal discussion,
action was taken which may have
far-reaching results in the town
and county. The discussion cul-
minated in a resolution for the
appointment of Chamber of
Commerce committee to consider
and take action in movement to
make property safe in Henderson
county. 1t is the intention of the
Chamber of Commerce to sponsor
countrywide movement for a
cleanup of the lawless class en-
gagged in HOUSEKEEPING and steal
ing in the town and county.
The matter was brought to the
attention of the directors and in
formally discussed by j. T. Fain,
H. H. Ewbank, o. Y. Brownlee,
T. D. Clark and others. Letters
from nonresident property own
ers relating to conditions in Hen
derson county were read or quot
ed, together with personal state
ments of some of these property
owners; and the conclusion reach
ed by the directors was that ex-
listing conditions are highly unsat-
isfactory, detrimental to the bust
ness interests and the future de-
.yelopment of the section, and that

years engaged in looting
The property of both nonresident
and resident property owners,
must be cleared out of the county.
Much evidence in regard TO
what has been going in in both
town and county was presented to
the directors. Real estate men told
of the wrecking of plumbing in
unoccupied houses and OF. how the
stuff is hauled away and disposed
of in South Carolina and probably
in distant places in this state.
Others told of trucks being driven
up to houses in the middle Of the
night and loaded with furniture
and housefurnishings, which was
hauled away and disposed of to
receivers of stolen goods outside
of the county. In one case named,
more than $1,000 worth of house
furnishings were stolen from one
home in the county. Many houses
have been entered three or four
times. The statement was made
that sixty per cent of the homes
and summer residents of Flat
Rock have been burglarized IN the
past few years. :,
Conditions have become so bad
that there is a well-detined move
ment among nonresident proper
ty owners to dispose of their hold
ings in the county at any price.
This attitude of property owners
is matter of record i'll written

RALEIGH, April 19.-(UP).-
Tn North Carolina Senate went
into buck wing yesterday hot
after more revenue and came
uD with approximately 100000
which it had previously cut from

the body shot the bill back on its
first reading.
EXerting itself in a final effort
to balance the revenue bill with
the appropriations bill, the Sen
ate undid yesterday afternoon
what it did Monday. 1t voted a
tax estimated to yield about $780,
600 yearly from the chain filling
stations. Then it found an addi-
tional 100000 annually by levy

amendment changed the higher
brackets Of the sales tax so as to
set the rate for 101 to $50 stores
at SITS each, for ISL to 200 stores
at 5000, and for all in excess of

BY CHARLES e. BLAKE
International News Service

CALLANDER, Ontario, Dec. 5.
Labor trouble that for a time
threatened to end-temporarily at
aeaSt-the filming Of the Dionne
uuintupletS in, their first full
length feature film has been COM
pletely Strengthened out to the
satisfaction Of Canadian labor or
ganiZationS and officials Of Twen-
tieth Century-Fox Studios.
The bone of contention between
the unions and the film company
was over the number of Canadian
technicianS to be employed in the
filming of the quinS.
Compromise Reached
The film company believed
five men was sufficient, while
union officials wanted seven
men.
A compromise at six men
solved everybody'S worries. Be
fore the compromise was affected,
however, union officials had
taken their grievance to immigra-
ton officials at Ottawa, and for
q while yesterday morning there
were reports they might demand
the entire motion picture COM
pany be deported.
Elzire and DIVA Dionne,
mother and father of the famous
children, have apparently gone
into hiding and will not go near
their children's hospital while
the film people are around.
Papa Dionne told a reporter to-
day, I'VE would like to see them
taking pictures of the babies, but
we are afraid they might take our
pictures, too, and we do not want
that.
IF somebody will pay us
enough, maybe we will let them
take our pictures"
Refuse Name Fee
But the film company is not in
terested in taking the pictures of
the mother and father. The COM
pany offered the parents $700 as

a good will token and for the
privilege of using their names in
the picture.
Although it matters little
whether or not their names do
appear in the picture, Papa
Dionne refused to sign and de.
manded $25, 900. His five famed
daughters will receive $4,000 for
their part in the picture, "The
Country Doctor"
Filming of the 'QuintS" will be
confined to just one hour each
day between II and noon. The
part of the doctor in the story
is being played by Jean Hersholt
and the role of nurse is played by
Dorothy Peterson.
