| Thousand Islands. There was ca
noeing and fishing, swimming and
tennis. There was dancing at
night, and half a dozen young
men who were pleasantly atten-
tive. And there was always the
breathless expectancy of long,
golden days wearing toward the
evening which would bring jon
2than down, sooner OF later.
As it happened MS office hours
were very slow. He was able to
see his patients in the late after
noon and to reach the Island by
seven, in time for swim before
dinner. Only once during the week
was he called to town at night and
on that occasion Sally insisted on
driving him.
But you can't leave your guests
I don't know how long I'll be
gone"
They're all right. You must be
tired. I'll chauffeur you back and
down again. I don't mind waiting,
Kim"
Over the holiday weekend he
was free to lie in the sun, to sleep
late mornings, to be beaten at
tennis by Phil Dexter, and to laze
around during the long hot after
moons between swimS. The woods
were vocal with red-winged black
birds and the late flowers were
blooming in fragrant profuSion in
the gardens. He told Rose guiltily,

moralizes you. This morning. wax

She froWned a little, looking out
across the water. Then she turned
over on her flat stomach on the
dock and summed her bronze back.

him to take them on. as charity

had discovered that her pupils

And so she had investigated and
found not only her pupil but the
unemployed parents and the all

ear infections. Through them she
had visited the neighbcring houses
as well. She had gone to the relief
agencies, but because an older
boy was employed there was moth

fact that his contributions to the

1t didn't dawn on him until
much later that most of the relief
was obliquely administered by Sut-
ton himself; that is, his friends
were given the jobs of administer

SUNDAYS YESTERDAYS


Jan. 81, 16O8-Captain John Smith
returned to jamestown from captiv-
ity. among the Powhatan tribe. Dur
ing his captivity he is declared in
some school histories to have been
saved from execution by the beaute-
GUS brunette Pocahontas. There is nc
basis for believing the celebrated res
cue ever happened.
Smith was the Munchhausen of his
time. Anyway, he made no allusion to
the incident until Pocahontas' arrival
in England as the wife of John Rolfe
when he wrote an account of it in a
letter to Queen Elizabeth.
Some of Smiths other self-rep orted
adventures:
He lived as a hermit in the woods
reading Greek and Roman classics
He became second Robin Hood. He
became a second Don Quixote, roam
ing the highways in knightly fashion
(Al this in his teens)
He went from England to Holland
and fell in with thieves, and wandered
through France. On a ship between
Marseilles and Italy he was cast over
board by the jealous crew. He was
rescued by pirates and became one of
them. He joined the Austrian army
to fight Turkey. His bravery was so
great, he said, he was made a cap
tain. He devised telegraph system
CT communication and invented a che
mlcal bomb. However, he couldn't

Associated Press, violates the First
Amendment to the Constitution which
guarantees to citizens freedom OF
speech and freedom of the press.
Vastly more than the job of Mr.
Watson is at stake in his case which
is before the nations highest tribunal
Is news and intelligence, therefore,
to be regarded as an ordinary article
of commerce, subject to federal super
vision and control? That is surmised
by a federal bureau, the National
Labor Relations Board. If this is de-
clared constitutional by the United
States Supreme Court it is going to
mean that virtual censorship has
been placed upon this great news
gathering agency which today has
1900 newspaper members. The AP
must be left free to hire and fire as
it pleases in order to achieve it's
avowed purpose of gathering news i'm
partially without fear or favor.
Freedom of the press and freedom
of speech, as guaranteed by the First
Amendment, means more even than
mere freedom from government CEN
sorship: it means that freedom of ex-
preston must be protected from any
form of federal control or influence.
The government oversteps it's bounds
when it interferes with that which has
been guaranteed by our time-honored
constitution, which was drawn up
when the need for freedom was great,
especially freedom of speech and ex-
preston. The press must remain free.
The supreme court must make de
cision regarding the whole Labor Re
lations Act at this term. Perhaps it
will go the way of some other iegisla-
ton which was far less odious.

ANSWERS

i. The cornerstone was laid in 1898.
The building was completed in 1919.
Lack of funds delayed the work. Lot
teries and other plans were used for
raising money but did not bring in
sufficient funds. In 1909 President
Caldwell made a personal trip over
the State soliciting subscriptions. 1t
was this effort that resulted in the
completion of the building.
2. The apportionment was two to
each county and one each to the
borouh towns of Edenton, New Bern,
Wilmington, Salisbury, Hillsboro and
Halifax. This plan was not changed
until 1885.
g. In 1899 there were 11,760. In 1890
there were 644,033.
f. Beaufort claimed the railroad
should bridge Newport River and
have the terminal established in the
town. When Shepherds Point, now
Morehead City, was selected the Town
Of Beaufort and the County of Car
teret, both, attempted to get out of
Their subscriptions. The town was re-
leased from the subscription, but suit
was entered against the county, and
a settlement was effected.
5. Nick Williams, of Yadkin County
Lack of grain crops in the eastern
part of the State had caused the mill
tary authorities under General e. r.
S. CanSy to prohibit the manufacture
of any grain into whisky. Lack OF
transportation facilities left no other
use for the corn grown in the Yadkin
section, hence Governor Worth's re-
quest that the Williams plant be al
lowed in 1867 to operate.
6. Halifax on April Is, 1871. Wash
ington. himself, wrote, Halifax is
the first town came to after pass

NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS
BOARD VS.. A FREE PRESS.
(Rocky Mount Telegram.)

Has America a free press? There is
a constitutional amendment which
says the press shall be free and guar
antees the same. There is a case be-
fore the United States Supreme Court
now however, which, as decided by
the federal circuit court of appeals for
the second district, tends to overlook
this altogether.
Here is the controversial case in
brief: The New York office of The
Associated Press employed a man
named Morris Watson on the editorial
staff. Mr. Watson prepared or receiv-
ed news reports, edited or rewrote
news items and then delivered them
to a filing editor for further revision,
and if found by the latter to be ap-
propriate, they were sent out over the
regular ZAP" wires. This same Mr..
Watson, however, was discharged by
The Associated Press, "solely on the
grounds of his work not being on 8
basis for which he has shown cap
ability" according to his employer.
What happened then Mr.. Watson
took his case before the National
Labor Relations Board, which con-
cluded that the Associated Press not
only was artless about the discharge
(perhaps they thought he should nave
been pensioned?) but it blamed the
act of the AP upon the latters dis
approval of the employees union &C
tivities in connection with the Ameri-
can Newspaper Guild, in which Wat
son had been actively engaged for
more than two years.
And so the Board made an order
compelling the inefficient employees
unemployment in his former position
with pay during his absence; and ON
top of that the circuit court of ap-
peals, upon petition of the Board,
granted an order to enforce.
Counsel for The Associated Press
Immediately became alarmed. How in
the world could this be called re-
gulation of commerce between the
states; from what hidden source
could the federal government derive
the power to compel a private en-
ployer to retain an employee in his
local office whose services no longer
were desired?"
The authority claimed by the Board
then was claimed non-existent for the
following reasons:
1. The act is void in it's entirety
as an unrestricted attempt to regulate
the relationship between all Industrial
employers and employees, by impos-
ing collective bargaining upon them
in violation of the Tenth Amendment.
2. The relation between The Asso-
ciated Press and it's editorial employees
is not interstate commerce, does not
directly affect such commerce and is
not subject to federal control.
3. The Act violates the Fifth Amend
ment and is void because it's terms
are arbitrary, unreasonable and cap
ricious, having no real and substantial
relation to the accomplishment of
legitimate ends. In addition the Act
denies the right to trial by jury in
violation of the Seventh Amendment
