Memorial Race

speedy as the 225. although small
er, will probably be represented
by some of the classieSt crafts on
the Atlantic coast. This type Of
boat gives many thrills as it
speeds onward towards the finish
line.
In the E runabout class Manteo
will again be well represented, as
in the feature race. Pat II, newly
built boat of Vernon and Ralph
Davis, is expected to give all COM
petition plenty of trouble. In fact,
local enthusiasts have high hopes
for win here, as in the 225 class.
Thrills and spills galore will en-
tertain the crowds of onlookerS
when the outboards start their
show. The four outboard races,
classes A, B, and c, and the free
for-all, are expected to attract
boats from all points on the At
lantic coast, from Florida up.
Many entries have already been
received for these races from
around New York and New Jer-
sey. Marking probably the most
exciting races of the regatta will
be about fifty of these small boats,
all striving to carry home the ba-
con. In these will be awarded the
only cash prizes. The profession
ais will get fifty dollars for a
winner, twenty dollars for a run
ner-up and ten dollars for third.
A cup will be awarded the anna
teur winner.
One of the most interesting
races for the local people will be
the work boat race. About Is
work boats from many surround
ing counties will be entered in
this. AL Smith, owned and oper-
ated by Nathan Nelson, of Man
teo, twice winner of this race, will
be entered again this year, ready
to stand off the challenge of any
work boat in this section. No type
of speed boat will be permitted to
enter this race, only those boats
that are strictly of work type.
The inboard free for all will
find the entrants strung widely
apart, as the boats in some classes
are much faster than those in
other classes. There will probably
be quite a bit of tapping here.
Even so, there will still be plenty
of competition amcng the boats
of each respective class.
The regatta is being sponsored
by the Dare Yacht club and sane
toned by the American Power
Boat Association and the Nation
al Outboard Association.

Evangelist Cracks
DOlUn Hard On
Evolution

Evolution is the driving horse
of infidelity, and modernism the
coachman. He who rides with
them will soon lose sight of the
grand truths of the Bible; faith
in God and the hope OF eternal
life will vanish. and the soul be
left helpless in the wilds of de-
spair," said Evangelist w. T.
Smith in his sermon on Creation
and Fall of Man" last night at the
Good News" Tabernacle, Parson-
age Street.
This world came into existence
by the call of Gods own voice
Fps. 1860 in the span of seven
days Gen. l and p and not by a
process of accumulation of partl-
cles through millenniumS. The an
cestorS of man are not monkeys
apes, or some of the lower crea-
lures of Gods creation, but man
was formed from the dust OF the
ground in the image of God
Gen. 2::7 and Gen. 1:26,2O by Je-
sus Christ CEph. 800. Man was
given the Garden of Eden for his
home, but because of his disobed-
ience he was driven out into the
earth, which brought forth thorns
and thistles, with the pronuncla-
ton of death upon him. Because
of his sin death passed upon all
men Rom. SID"

Met Argument
1t was disclosed that the three
man board made an attempt to
meet one of the reasons which
Tom M. Girdler, chairman OF Re-
public Steel, advanced for retus-
ing to enter into an agreement
with the S. w. o. C.-the alleged
irresponsibility of C. I. o. leaders.
The board telephoned officials
of the U. S. Steel corporation, the
Jones-Laughlin Steel corporation,
and others who have negotiated
signed agreements with the c. I. O.
for their reaction to the organl-
zation.
They informed us that consld-
ering the novelty of the arrange
ment in their plants and the IN
experience of the men in union
affairs, it (the agreemenD is
working out reasonably well, that
success depends largely upon the
leadership in the particular plant,
the report said.
The board laid it informed rep
resentatives of the four struck
companies-Republic, Bethlehem
Inland, and youngstown Sheet q
Tube-of their information from
other steel companies but the
experience of these other compan-
les did not in any way chcange
their attitude"
1t appeared to neWspapermen
that the report was placing all
the blame for the boards failure
to mediate the strike upon the
four companies. But, Secretary
Perkins, at a press conference late
today, professed not to read such
an Interpretation into the report.

Escape From Death

The brick column was so heavy
that J. w. Bradley of the Carolina
Duco Company and a robust help
err could not bulge it when they
arrived with their Wrecking truck,
so they towed the car on into town
with the brick column in it.
The car attracted quite a bit
of attention yesterday, and no one
would believe at first that there
had been someone in the back seat
and they had not been killed.
Both Williams and McClair were
charged with reckless driving by
State Highway Patrolman Clyde
Gibson.
Paradoxically, the only serious
injury sustained in the crash was
that sustained by w. G. Walker,
who was in front of the filling
station and suffered crushed
