cautiously past the yawning gar
IN the narrow path.
Tom could see. now. the little
boys sliding down the gravel hills
And at the foot of one steep hill
the iron fangs Of the crane were
gnawing.
The boys we're sliding close
horrifyingly close, to the grinnine
iron-toothed mouth Of the falling
scraping, lifting. huge crane
scoop.
Beth was just in front of him
now. Tom :, 'lnred to the cat
of the crane to order Knapp tt
shut off the crane until the boys
had been routed.
The great iron-jagged bucket
was raising like a huge snake
necked animal, gaping it's jaws
for a sudden lashing strike with
its fanged head.
A groan Of horror from Beth
turned Tom around. Beth was
pointing above Toms head. Di
rectly in the path of the mouthing
crane red-headed Bobby was roll
ing down the steep hill. With a
wild yell, Bobby" Tom leaped at
the hill.
BRAVE RESCUE
But Beth was quicker. She
threw herself in the path of the
boy. She lay directly beneath
the descending bucket with its
lips pulled back in iron toothiness
With a jerk at his sweater she
sent the boy sprawling to safety
The falling bucket just missed his
curly head.
Tom threw himself at Beth, his
hand clamped her wrist. He
jerked her OIL from under the
spiked iron teeth as the bucket
crashed deep into the loose stone
where she had lain a split
second before.
But Toms shoulder was caught.
Two of the spiked teeth grazed
his arm, tore the flesh. His shoul-
der was fastened to the stone by
the buckets teeth.
His face was forcibly pressed
into the flint-edged rock. He could
feel the warm blood creeping down
his neck.
Then Beth's voice was at his
ear. Her hands ripped at his
sweater and shirt. Beth would
soon have him free.
A jabber of German. thunder
ing boots shook the stones.
Knapp lifted the edge of the
huge bucket. And Tom sat up.
"Bethy. it's only flesh nick. "
His lips brushed her arm as Beth
knelt beside him, bandaging his
shoulder. Don't cry so, Honey
pleased"
Beth swept a wild kiss across
Toms forehead. Choking on a sob,
Il can't bear to have you-"
Toms good arm Rugged her
close. "Oh Honey. hadn't we bet
ter join forces in order to dc
rescuing jobs together?"
Beth's eyes glowed as his face
came down to hers. a damp, mis-.
chievous light in her eyes. "Oh,
Tommy, darling, I'll even turn
over my schoolhouse to you!
when I saw you hurt II
guessed I'd have to spank Bobby
she kissed Tom with tear-wet
lips-"if I wanted to keep you all
in one piece!"

COMMISSIONERS TO
CONSIDER BUDGET
Figures To Be Presented
Tuesday for New Fiscal
Year Period

The new budget for operation of
the county during the new fiscal year
will be considered as a major matter
of business by the Vance Board of
County Commissioners next Tuesday
at their regular monthly meeting for
July, it was stated today by Horace
M. Robinson, register of deeds and
clerk to the. board The meeting will
be held on Tuesday on account of
Monday teing observed as the Fourth
of July holiday.
Estimates from the several depart
ments of the county have been pre-
pared by Miss Dorothea Woodlief,
county accountant, and will be ready
for the board when it meets. Depart
ment heads presented estimates of
amounts required for their offices for
the coming year.
While the budgets will be presented
Tuesday, their final adoption will be
deferred for several weeks, and may
not be approved in permanent form
for month or more.
Compilations are being made of the
1887 tax listings, but no figures have
been officially announced as yet as
to what the total valuation will be.
1t is believed, however, that the ag~
gregate will be slightly above 1886.
The tax rate may not be fixed by
the county commissioners until late
in August or early September, but the
books will be turned over to the new
county tax collector on or about the
first of October for collection.

that period in any year in more than
a decade, a compilation of records
kept by Fire Chief E. T. Shepherd
showed today. The figure of $4,4O5,
the chief said, was the smallest for
any similar period since he had been
head of the city's fire department.
Fire damage, occurred only in
March, with $1,92O, and May, with ST.
1875, all the other months being with
out any loss at all. There were four
alarms last month and no fires at all,
one of them being a grass fire, one
an electric transformer, and the other
a false alarm. The fourth was outside
the city limits, with no reportable
loss. For the six months there were
33 calls and &c fires, most of them
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1937-07-01

with a loss too insignificant to record
In the first half of 1896 the fire
damage in the city was 1918 There
were 80 calls and rs fires. Only in
June was there no loss at all in the
first half of 1886. A damage of $70O
in November was the only reported
damage for the entire second half of
1886, so that in the past IS months
Henderson has had fire damage in on
ly three months, and the aggregate
for the period was $4,745.
That is considered more or less of
a remarkable record for a community
as large as Henderson.

New Hunt for City

JERUSALEM. - The fabulous city

years, will be the goal Of an expedi-

The new exploring party will travel
by automobile from the seaport at

Individual Talent Encouraged.
In economics the principle OF the
equality of earnings-the basic princi-
pie of the classical feminist socialism,
which reduced all Soviet citizens to
the common denominator" of misery
and semi-starvation-now was dubbed
'reactionary" and "un-Socialistic." II
was contemptfully rejected. Individual
talent, effort and achievement, for
merly suppressed, began to be ener-
getically encouraged, chiefly by great
diffeentiations in salaries and pay.
Under the vivifying influence of in
equality and individual responsibility,
the industrial machinery of the coun-
try, which in the chaos of 1882 was
on the verge of a complete break
down, rapidly began to improve. Now

it functions-although far from
smoothly. One may. however, ven
ture the prediction that 1t will keep
improving Industry Is esential to ma
tional defense, and consequently TO
the continued power Of Moscow's pres
ent rulers, and when that Is involved
they know how to achieve things.
Socialism in agriculture also was
considerably clipped. In 1880 or 1881
peasants forcibly driven into collective
farms had to surrender such a share
of their products to the government
that famine ensued. Now they still
belong to collective farms and have to
work for them; but they are allowed
to segregate from these farms acreage

cultivate them for themselves.

early years of bolshevism, with their

deal is that the new constitution COM
pletes the process of the equalization
of practically all Soviet citizens in
their civil and political rights-a
process which began, roughly speak

Big Horn Co., Dept. Public Welfare
Gives Warning to Relief
Recipients,

The Big Horn County Depart
ment of Public Welfare met in
official session Wednesday. At
this time there were reports CT
relief recipients who refused to
accept offers of private employ
ment, preferring to remain on the
rolls of some relief agency.
This condition cannot be toler-
ated and anyone whom investiga-
ton shows that the above situa-
ton is true will no longer be able
to receive the benefits Of any type
of aid. The only exception to this
will be where a recipient loses
his working rights through no
fault of his own.
In particular, an authentic re-
port came to the board that vari-
Gus WPA drought clients who had
been assigned to the Tongue River
dam project had refused to report
to the project and had also, after
reporting, stopped work on that
project to accept WPA employ
ment. These people are known tc
the Big Horn County Department
of Public Welfare and are being
promptly removed from any form
of assistance.

For Eligibles in Big Horn County,
Must Contact Relief Office
In Hardin by Oct. 7.

Information Just received by the
Big Horn County Department Of
Public Welfare Is that the date
determined for enrolling CCC
selectees has been set as October
IS, 1887 for Zone 4, which includes
Big Horn county. This means
that the selectees viii leave Bill
lings, Montana, on october 18th;
therefore, they will have to be
cleared through the relief Office
of Big Horn county prior to that
date.
Although priority must be given
in the selection of applicants from
families receiving public aid, re-
lief is no longer a requisite in de-
termining eligibility. To be ell
gible for selection from a family
not receiving public aid, the ap-
plicant shall be unmarried, be-
tween the ages of II and q, a
citizen of the United States, be in
good physical health, good char
acter, not regular in attendance
at school, not possessing other
regular or full-time employment,
and who needs the employment,
the job training, the educational
and other opportunities offered BY
the Civilian Conservation Corps,
and whose families, due to fl
nancial limitations, are not in a
position to secure or provide COM
parable experience and training.
Expenses of transportation to
the recruiting station should be
paid by the selectee unless he is
financially unable to provide this
expense. This provision must be
cleared through the county de-
partment. An allotment of SOS 90
should be made to the dependent
of the selectee.
