City An-Stars TO
Play Textile Five
Monday Evening
Spartanburg Outfit One Of
Strongest of the Circdit
This Season

In a basketball game which
promises to be one of the most
interesting of the season for this
section. the Hendersonville ALL
Stars will play the strong Textile
Institute team of Spartanburg in
the Flat Rock gym az 8 o'clock
Monday night.
The Textile quintet is one of
the strongest taemS of the circuit
this season and boasts victories
over most of the college and jun
Tor college teams in this vicinity.
They have defeated Brevard Col
lege, Asheville School, and Bit
more College by comfortable mar
gins.
The game Monday night will
mark the second meeting of the
two teams. Playing in Spartan
burg last week in a game filled
with furious action, the Textiles
overhauled the All Stars in the
closing minutes and beat them to
the finish with q 43-4l score. This
close score promises stirring bat
tie in the coming game.
The All Stars are composed
largely of former Blue Ridge play
ers. In the lineup will be Ed Ed
ney, Tom LYDIA, Harry Williams,
Bill Arledge. and Courtney. The
team is coached by Bob Morris.
A small admission fee will be
charged.

charges occasioned by this scheme
STATE TO GIVE FINANCIAL
AID


Irrigation schemes will also be
financed by the government. I'm
der the old laws, only owners Of
500 acres of land or more were
permitted to receive a state loan.
We have brought this down to all
lands of 30 acres. Small peasants
also will be permitted to group
their lands on an irrigation
scheme and receive a state loan
just as their larger landowner
neighbors. This will bring a large
rise in income to the middle and
small peasant, who has heretofore
been kept in utter misery for the
interests of a tiny few large land
owners.
81 assure you that this plan is
not visionary at the present mo-
ment, despite the difficulties we
face. We may have to call upon
foreign engineers to aid US at the
start, and carry through only q
part of the general scheme before
peace has been achieved, but our
government will see that the OBJ
stacles are overcome"
The Spanish government also
has been active in developing Ii
brarics throughout the territory
still in its hands. This is part of
n scheme to eliminate as swiftly
as possible the large illiteracy that
exists in Spain. 1t is estimated
, that half the population could
neither read nor write when the
civil war began. This number has
fallen sharply, though official fig
ures are not available.

fUP).-Two : principal problems
which are being planned by the
Spanish government are electrifi-
caaon Of the country and prcvi-
sion of irrigation for the dryre-
glons, Julio Just, minister of pub
lie works, declared here in a special
interview.
Although overburdened with
hundreds of problems of mill
tary character, the present Span
lSh government has promised that
1t will continue public work
schemes Sketched before the bill
tary revolt began. According to
Just, irrigation and identification
have an immediate bearing Oh the
civil war itself, as they viii in
crease the efficiency of agricul-
tural and industrial production.
To speed up both Of these, and to
multiply crops and goods, is one
o. the major detectives OF an in

ahead behind the fighting fronts.
1T must not be forgotten con-
tlnucd Just. that more than 5000
Spanish villages today possess
neither electric lights nor heating.
Electricity up TO now has been so
expensive in Spain that it abs
been considered a luxury. More
over, the provision of drinkable
water was never considered by
previous governments. There are
1000 villages in Spain without an
assured hygienic water supply.
Coupled to this problem is that of
proper irrigation for food farm
land which cannot be utilized
properly because of periodic dry
seasons.
SEES VAST POSSIBILITIES
'ThcSc three problems can be
solved Simultaneously in country
like ours. With a series Of high
mountain ranges whose peaks are
covered with snow even in summer
time, the rivers of Spain, if prop
erly harnesscd, could realize a
tremendous rational saving of eff
fort and material. To employ the
100000 kilowattS Of electrical
energy potentially utilizable is the
primary necessity if we wish to
transform the aspect Of the aver
age miserable Spanish village.

this. The plan must cnviSage the
elechification of the railway sys-

of importing coal and oil from
abroad. Moreover, it will permit
almost our total coal output to be
used exclusively for the chemical
industry. The encouragement thus
given Ito our chemical industry
will permit US to cut down the
control Of foreign capital.
