Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-02-08

winnie he is TOT the county OpLlOn
liquor control bill which has already
passed the House, Senator J. Benton
Stacy, of Rockingham county, has not
decided whether he favors another
county election on liquor stores in his
county or not. It was the only one
of the 10 counties which were includ-
ed under the Pasquotani1 liquor bill of
1888, which voted dry" in the county
election.
"The reason Rockingham county
voted dry was largely because the
bootleggers, tobacco warefousen1en
and preachers in Danville, Va, poined
with the bootieggers in Greensboro
and Winston.-Salen in helping the
preachers, drys and bootleggers in
the county keep the county dry" Sem
ator Stacy said. Another election will
mean another fight along the same
lines"
Senator L. Y. Ballentine, of Wake
county, wants to protect the farmers
and others who are the principal pur-
chasers Of second hand automobiles,
against crooked and INSCRIPTIONS
dealers. That is why he has introduc
ed his bill to require ali second hand
car dealers to register with the De-
partment of Revenue, obtain license,
and then register every car brought in
from other states for resale here in
North Carolina.
"The used car business will get to
be racket if outsiders are permitted
to buy old cars in other states, then
bring them here and sell them, unless
they are strictly regulated. This bill
will tend to keep the business in the
hands of local and reputable dealers"
While much larger proportion Of
the members of the House and Senate
than are willing to admit it openly,
agree with Representative Ed r. Han
ford, of Alamance county, that if the
State is going to permit the sale of le-
gal liquor, it might just as well per-
nit the manufacture of liquor also,
the belief is that Representative Han
ford is not going to get very far with
his efforts along this line. AS a re-
suit, his latest bill to authorize the
manufacture Of liquor in North Caro-
lima, also authorizing the State to go
into the wholesaling and jobbing of
| LIQUOR, is not expected ever to get
out Of committee. Two years from
now, Representative Hanford might
succeed in this move, but not this SEES
sion, most observers agree.

STATE TO TEST
 GAS PLANE BAN
Waterbury Youth Arrested in WatertOwn to Bring
 Controversy to Courts

Testing the recent ban by the state aviation commissioner imposed on gas model planes, the Water bury Gas Model Plane club held a flight contest at Wookey's farm in Watertown, yesterday to try out safety provisions such as are in ef- feet in other sections of the country. It was demonstration of the safety under which the models may be flown and was to convince those in- terested that under certain condi- tions the planes may be flown with out crossing highways or endanger- ing property.
 Following the contest, Eric Schneer, of 13 Putnam street, Wa terbury, was arrested on charge of violating the state aeronautics law and will be tried in the town court at Watertown thursday night at 8 o'clock. It will be the first court test of the new ruling.
 The arrest was made by State Trooper Thomas Laden at the re- quest of Kenneth Dingrose, inspec- tor for the state aviation commis- sion.
 The club arranged yesterdays con- test to test the validity of the ban imposed by Aviation Commissioner Charles L. Morris. The contest was publicized for several days, and sev- eral hundred people witnesses the flights yesterday.
 Inspector Ringrose said the avia- tion commissioners office was willing to have the ruling tested in the courts, hence the arrest yesterday.

After visit with her family in Chicago, Miss Rakauskas plans three more concerts before returning to Lithuania to resume her place with the state company.

 Fair trade contracts are being ne- gotiated with tobacco, liquor and other lines, MT. Meyers advises the enforcement captains and the com pleted papers are being mailed to the 1900 retailers about the state just as fast as they are received. So far, says MT Heyers, the Fair Trade con- mittee has had splendid cooperation with the retailers and manufactur- CTS; a spirit of fairness existing, so that there has been little for the enforcement captains, scattered in 65 communities, to do.
 Within a few weeks it is expect ed that the total of contracts signed will be more than doubled and the thousands of items will then be in- cluded in the agreements. Headquar- ters of the committee, at 130 Wash ington street, Hartford, is a busy place these days as clerks prepare the committees bulletins and mail out contracts and information to the many retailers. The committee itself meets weekly.

For the first time in many moons Willie and Weaver is following a fairly straight line. It's new ex- perience and he certainly misses the thrills of playing cross-tag with other motorists. He ran out of line just once too often. The daredevil stunt of cutting in and out of the traffic lane for some fancied ad- vantage is an important cause of highway tragedy. The fellow who ac- quires this very bad habit is headed for trouble. Sooner or later he will get it.
