was learned at the castle Of Baron

Both he and Mrs. Simpson, who
is at the villa of American friends

There also were reports that

The Chamber of Commerce di-
rectors met in monthly session
lat night for the second session
Of the new board.
T. ID. Clark, president, directed
most attention to the annual set
Of committees, chairmen for which
were named by him at the last
meeting. The majority Of chair
men had selected their commit
tees and where there were too
many Implications these were
eliminated so as to distribute the
work among as large number
Of the membership rs possible.
The directors discussed indus
trial prospects and further activi-
ties alone industrial lines. The
main handicap, it appeared. was
the presence of buildings to sat
isfy their needs and the Difficult
ty Of finding some one interested
in erecting a building specifically
for some designated purpose.
II. A. Buchanan reported that
while in Raleigh few days ago
he made further Investigations
about the airport situation. He
stated that it was likely that the
north-south runway would be
paved and the east-west one
would be built of topsoil.
G. G. Richardson led discus
sion for stringent law with very
heavy penalties for spotlighting
rS.ecr a,ld iyramiting fishing
streams. He thought this about
the best cure for a bad situation
in this county.
The directors discussed the pos
sibility of building the East Flat
Rock highway. The directors were
anxious to see the immediate ex-
penditure in the range of $75,O 900
to 100000 but didn't want to
precipitatc movement that would
have the route to East Flat Rock
unfit for travel during the heavy
traffic Of summer. II was thought
likely that hearing would be
given the public as to the loca-
ton, which is under controversy,
and il was the opinion Of the
board that the highway commit
tee should ask the commissioners
to call this Immediately in order
that the construction of the high
way may be started as early as
possible.
Recognition was given to the
fact that q member, II. II. Ew-
bank, had lost u brother by death,

demand that Germany and other
nations abandon their mischiev-

tries" was voiced yesterday in
the closing session Of the house
of commons before the Christmas
holidays by Morgan Jones, Labor
tie.
Jones warned against the sever
widening conflict between COM
munism and fascism," and insist
ed on the right Of every nation to
determine its own form Of gov
eminent without interference Of
others.
The session was gloomy and in
sharp contrast to the merriment
of the Christmas holidays for
which it adjourned.
Speaker after speaker referred
to civil strife and made predic-
tions Of war.
Veteran members Of the house
said the atmosphere Of the session
was reminiscent of the feeling
which prevailed just before tho
outbreak of the World war.
Germany and other nations"
Jones said, "must abandon their
mischievous interference with the
other countries"
Jones asked Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden if he could dispel
the fear that the recent Japanese
German agreement was q Sac

arrangements have been made
which are not public" Eden made
no reply.

Eden, giving an implied warm

to keep their hands of Spain,

to settle their sufficiently tragic
difficulties in their own way"

When the two forces are link

Thousands of Carlist monar-

Carlists are devout Catholics.
They often are led into battle by

Their hatred OF the German

charge that the third Reich is

Christmas Seal
Sales Slowing Up

Fear was expressed today by
Mrs. George Wing, Jr., that the
Christmas seal sales campaign
would fall far short of what had
first been anticipated, and that in
sufficient funds would be provid'
ed by this for the operation of the
milk stations in the two grammar
schools.
Mrs. Wing said that consider.
able slowing down in sales had
been noticed in the past day OF
two. The seals, it was pointed
out, not only can be used in the
preparation Of handsome Christ
mas packages but may be used on
letters and for the appropriate
decoration of postcards as well.

NOT FIRED AT
Rebel Shells Falling Near
Erie Friday We're d.
rected at Port

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. (UP)
The gunboat Erie, new 2,000-ton
vessel of the U. S. navy, reported
to the state department yesterday
that she had been under fire from
a Spanish warship, tentatively
identified as the Nationalist YES
sci Espana, in the Spanish port
Of Gijon.
The report contained no sug.
gestion that the Spanish vessel
deliberately aimed at the Erie. II
fired two shells at the port from
a range Of almost six miles and
then steamed away westward. One
shell dropped about 500 yards
from the Erie and the other fell
in the hills back of the port,
which is held by Spanish govern
ment forces.
1t was the second incident of
the Spanish civil war involving a
U. S. vessel. On August 80 the
navy destroyer Kane was the tar
get of bombs dropped from an
unidentified plane. The Kane re-
turned the fire. The state depart
ment sent vigorous protests to
the Nationalist and Government
forces. 1t also instructed comman-
ders of U. s. vessels to take nec-
essary defense measures in case
of attack, but sought to keep
American ships out of the danger
zone.
Officials indicated no protest
was intended over the latest Incl.
dent. The Erie had put into the
little port on the northern coast
to find out whether any American
Nationals still remained to be
evacuated. Consul William +.
Chapman was aboard.
