Immediately

J. H. Mundy, for number of years
truck driver in the city fire depart
ment, was appointed constable for
Henderson township by the Vance
Board of County Commissioners Mon
day. He will fill out the term of E.
Fl. Murphy, who resigned several days
ago without having qualified follow
ing his reelection in November to the
office he had held for many years.
w. N. Strickland, former policeman
of the city, who is now attached to
the Oxford police department, was
elected to the place ten days ago when
Murphy resigned. But Strickland de-
clined the office with thanks. Mr..
Wundy was an applicant for the place
at the time the first choice was made,
as were four or five others. Strick-
land was a candidate for the office
against Murphy in the June primary
last summer.
Mr. Mundy will resign his place as
truck driver in the fire department

constable as soon as the prelimina-
ries of arranging the required $1,000

homes with disaster actually sweep
ing down upon them.
TWO SIDES
The viewpoint of farmers in olS-
viously dangerous valleys is under
standable. After all, they are flood
swept only two or three season in a
decade Otherwise their land is very
productive.
flood, to one of these, is no worse
than a .drouth to an upland yeoman.
Except
That a flood may wash away far
mer's house and barn, drown his live
stock and destroy his capital as well
as his current crop, whereas drouth
is but a seasonal disaster.
What some experts advocate is that
farmers in flood territory should pile
up, each for himself, a mound to serve
as his refuge; then sod and plant it
to a few trees to hold it solidly-then
let the water swish around such is
lands instead of pouring over levees
and engulfing everything.
BUT CITIES o.
; Engineers are somewhat more inn
patient with city folk who put up big
buildings and plants in what every
one knows to be, at times of high
water, river beds.
They will be flooded, of course, pc
riodically.
If they must be so built engineers
query), why aren't they built in con-
temptation of systematic overflows,
like Venice?
NEVER A LAST
To be sure, the theory is that each
flood is the last one-the next one will
be prevented by reservoirs upstream
or a new kind of levees down the
river.
But it never is prevented.
This years repeatedly has been de-
scribed as the worst national dis
aster since the World War"
It is worse ham the World War, in
a way, insofar as the United States
is concerned; it has caused more
homelessness and distress more i'm
mediately.
A "CITY FLOOD
This has Eeen a meaner flood than
usual because Of the big cities it has
struck
A farmer, if not actually chased
from home, can do, for example, with
a kerosene lamp or even candle. He
is not SO dependent upon toilet ia
cilitice-which are inelegant to speak
of but vital to city jewellers.
This has been, so to speak, city
flood.
MOVE?-NEVER!
Nevertheless, ore does not hear the
city folk talk any more for evacua-
ton of the cities than evacuation Of
the rural districts ever was argued
for.
City BOTTOMS" have as many de-
tenders as flooded ruralities.
Where would they go otherwise?

prise, since it has been known in con-
fidential circles for some time that
Governor Hoey has been seeking a
post for Sheriff. here, it is regarded
as significant in that most observers
regard the appointment as having
been made almost directly by Cover
nor Hoey rather than by Chairman
Powell of the Unemployment Compen-
sation Commission. 1t is known that
ever since the Unemployment Com
pensation Commission was created
back in December by the special ses-
sion of the General Assembly, that
Governor Hoey and Chairman Powell
have been seeking place for Sheriff.,
and that at one time he was slated
to head a public relations divisions
for the division, although this plan
was wrecked by the refusal of the
Social Security Board in Washington
to authorize it.
All those here who know Sheriff.
are convinced that Governor Hoey
and Chairman Powell have acted wise
ly in selecting him as director of the
State Employment Service.

Grounding Surely
Saw That Shadow:
So Look Out Now

If there be any truth in the old
legend about the Ground Hog and
his ability to forecast weather con-
ditiOns, just you look out from now
on. If ever the little beast saw his
shadow, he certainly did today.
Rarely, if ever, did the sun shine
more brightly than it did today,
and all day at that.
1t came up out of a clear sky
at the regular hour for sunrise.
And Throughout the day there was
hardly a cloud to be seen anywhere
in the heavens.
The old story is that if the
Ground Hog sees his shadow on
February 2, he HES himself back
into the ground for six weeks more
CT winter. Beg pardon, sir, but SO
far as this kinter is doncerrAsd
there hasn't been any yet. But if
the bristly little pig has his way,
there'n be plenty of it from now on
until rnid-March.
Had it been cloudy day, the
Ground Hog would have darted
back into that hole to come out an
ether day soon, and it would have
meant that the backbone of winter
had been broken.
But, of all the two months of
cloudy, rainy weather in December
and January, old man Weather
Man had to give us clear day TO-
day for the Ground Hog to see his
shadow. He would!
