Three Persons Missed DeathByEscapingGas|
Gustave Parisi, His Wife, Three=Year=Od Daughter Were Overcome at Their Home, Go Frost Road;
 Father Able to Sound Alarm

Three persons were overcome at o:30 o'clock this morning when Illuminating gas seeped through the ground into their home at 66 Frost road from broken pipe. They were revived by policemen who answered an emergency call from the father of the family before he collapsed. The leak may have been caused by Tuesday nights hevay storm.
 Those overcome were GuStave Parisi, a photographer; his wife, Phyllis; and their three-year old daughter, Blanche. All escaped with out any serious effects, though they were still sick this morning.
 Mrs. Parisi Awakened
 Mrs. Parisi was awakened shortly after 3 o'clock this morning when the baby began crying. She soothed the child but the youngster did ot go back to sleep. Then Mrs. Parisi noticed a faint odor of gas and reused her husband. Shortly after he arose, Mrs. Parisi and the child fianted from the effects of the fumes.
 MT. Parisi, himself ffected by the gas, managed to get to the telephone and call police headquarters before he collapsed. A radio alarm was sent out and Motor Patrolmen Raymond Grady and John Breen were at the house. They managed to revive the three Parisis and immediately re- ported the leak to the Connecticut Light and Power Go. Service men were soon at the scene.
 WPA Workers Blamed
 Manager Charles Allen of the light company said that WPA workers have been doing sewer construction work along Frost road, and that a trench was dug by them at right angles to the gas pipe. The trench settled, he said, perhaps from the

 Some of Luiquidations Void
 In line with this action, MT. Schick stated that several debtors of the bank were under the impress sion that the statute of limitations might release them from their debts. The statute of limitations states that bills not paid in six years shall be outlawed.
 Bills owed a closed bank in the process of receivership do not come within the scope of the statute of limitations" said MT. Schick. "The bills are recoverable no matter how many years have passed"

Burgess several years ago to the
then correspondent for this bureau.
AS far back as 1888 the militant
dry leader admitted that he was a
possible candidate for the governoc-
ship if prohibition should continue to
10 an issue and if his aspirations for
the governors chair could in any
way advance the cause of legal dry
ness.
At the time Of this interview Q933)
Mr. Burgess made some predictions
which have come true with a ven
"aance. He prcpohesied then that
the vets would attempt to remove
column and he said fatty that if a
legislature should be elected which
/ dared to tamper with the dry laws,
the following campaign would find
prohibition the standout issue in the
State.
All of which has come to pass, pos
sibly through failure of the Drys to
permit a Statewide referendum in
1885. Had they done so the patch
work New Hanover and Pasquotanl1
laws would never have gone on the
statute books that year, and the 1887
Assembly would not have had the
chance to set up the county control
system. Be that as it may, prohibi-
ton is again flaming issue and Mr..
Burgess may ride it right into the
governors mansion.

ONCE Upon MARCH 25th

IT is customary to think OF clvlllza-
ton as having arrived on this contln-
ent with the English settlers OF VIZ
oinia and Massachusetts and the
French in Canada. j..
Actually the European brano OF
civilization came first with Hernando
Cortez, who took possession OF the
three-century-old town of Tobasco, at
the southern end of Mexico, 419 years
ago today, and began his ruthless con
quest of the country.
From Mexico, of course, the Span
iards spread northward to settle in
California, New Mexico, Arizona, Tex
as. Louisiana, ETC., and Cortes was
thus responsible for the fact that Old
World civilization as represented by
Christian churches, schools, printing
shops, etc., were thriving in these
present day States before any Eng
fish colony was established in the
New World.
Cortes' conquest destroyed an ear
lier high state of civilization. For
Mexico, before the Spanish conquest,
had systems of law and high courts
of Justice in which the magistrates
were DOuuU ny JuO1CAo1 OolA, ~ OAAANA
ton laws an army closely resembling
in organization those existing at the
same time in Europe; a diplomatic
system; we'll appointed geological
and botanical gardens; graphic arts
highly developed; calendar; syste-
matte education; formal marriage;
advanced irrigation, and several
sports resembling those of today, in
Guiding baseball and tennis!
republic was flourishing in part
of Mexico when Cortes arrived and
he would not have succeeded in his
conquest without it's aid! The repub-
lie of Tlaxcala had been frequently
attacked by the Aztec empire of Mon
tezuma, and the assistance the venge-
full Tlaxcalans gave the European in
vaders played the decisive part in
the campaign of Cortes' handful of
men against the thousands of Aztec
warriors.

many. Mussolini, like Hitler, is head
ed for economic chaos. Meanwhile
Spain continues to impoverish and
ruin herself. Portugal and Greece,
however, are two bright spots.
SOUTH AMERICA: Commodity
prices control the prosperity of our
southern neigh, ors. Hence the price
smash in international products, such
as coffee, beef, cotton, copper, and
wheat means that the 1887 boom
will not be repeated this year. After
three years of steadily improving con-
ditions, South America will mirror the
recession going on in England and the
United States. Best trading prospect
among the leading countries is Argen-
tina. My feeling is that the biggest
recent development in South America
is the new Dictatorship in Brazil The
fascist" idea has crossed the At
iantic. -.
JAPAN AND CHINA: The China
adventure is a big drain on Tokyo but
she is standing up we'll under the
strain. Because of the war, it is al
most impossible to determine true bus
mess conditions. The increasing re
strictions on foreign exchange and
the decline in stock prices, indicates,
however, that she has tackled big
Job. One thing is certain: Both coun-
tries will endeavor to buy less of our
goods in the future than in the past.
Japan will get much of the raw cot
ton for her textile mills from the
fields of North China rather than
from Texas; and she will attempt to
crowd us out as China's biggest mer-
chant. Yet there is a possibility that
an awakened China may give us suf-
ficient new business to more than off
set these losses.
/, Depend on United States.
:. The key to this entire situation to-
day is the United States. Last year
we accounted for one-ninth of all
world trade. Our demand and con-
sumption will have powerful influ
ence on the world trend of commodity
prices. The fortunes of many economic
arenas around the globe depend on
these prices. Il a strong pickup takes
place in North America, world re-
covery can survive the bad conditions
in France and elsewhere. I believe
that such recovery may Se ahead.
Surely a world spiritual revival coulu
bring it about.

OTHERS VIEWS
WANTS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE |
IN HENDERSON


To the Editor:
Having Just visited quite few of
our southern progressive cities, and
after making due inquiries as to the
activities of the various Chamber OF
Commerce, I found they were very
active in each city and deemed in
despensible by the business and pro-
fessional men.
Henderson should have an active
Chamber of Commerce if we are to
keep pace with the many other alert
cities in North Carolina.
Many of the things predicted by
the writer several years ago have
come to pass. Below you will find
copied from your paper while was
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, the following:
"Our Chamber of Commerce is ever
on the alert to keep undesirable rack
cts and schemes out of the conlmun-
ity. While most of this work must
necessarily he done in a quiet way, it
represents nevertheless valuable SER
vice to the citizens of the community.
Some of the things done by the
Chamber of Commerce in the last
three months:
First: The calling of mass meet
ing to protest. against the valuation
of our property, which resulted in
the saving of thousands of dollars to
the tax payers of our city.
Second: We have answered
promptly all communications and
hundreds or more copies of Hender-
son have been sent to various indus
tries and business firms, which
should have it's effect.
Third: We have erected two large
signs on Route So north and south
of Henderson.
Last but not least, we were in
strumental with county and city well
represented at the opening of the
State highway connecting |Hender-
son with the leading markets of the
world. The officers of the Chamber
of Commerce will endeavor to do all
in their power to build UP and. beau
tify Henderson.
Henderson should have wider
streets and the most attractive white
way between Richmond and Raleigh.
The opening of a new highway
should mean much for our city, and
Henderson should be one of the most
progressive towns on Route So Why
not make it the most progressive and
beautiful? The Chamber of Com
merce will do it spart. Each citieen
should be loyal supporter"

might be as bad as it is mere The
passing of the peak of the building
boom and the slowing down of ocean
shipping are adding to the British
slump. Our 1898 exports to Great Bri-
tain, barring munitions. will show a
sharp loss over the. 1887 f:gures. :
! BR III S H COMMONWEAflTfIS:
! Australia, New Zealand and Canada
are now feeling the shock of the stock
market and business slumps in the
United States and Great Britain. The
break in commodity prices has hit

Nigeria, East Africa, Egypt India
Outstanding Dominion today is South
Africa, where the gold boom is still
on. AS a whole. our 1888 foreign trad
with the British Dominions will show
a smaller drop than that with the
average country.
FRANCE: Huge public expense
plus high manufacturing costs, be
cause of the forty-hour week, a~e
wrecking French business. Industra
activity and stock prices are drift:ns
downward while living costs and un
employment are creeping forward
Tho weakness of the franc may force
further marketing down of the close

currencies. This would be the start
ing-gun for another race to devalu

blow to international trade. France

GERMANY AND AUSTRIA: Bus:

tivity is double the low levels of 1893

tion of Austria with her gold and raw
material resources is actually bullisl
There is less danger of immediate war
now than at any time since Hitler
rise to power. Poland and Hungary
made big strides ahead in 1887, blu
the current recession has slowed dow
activity in Czechoslovakia.

and the United States. Consequently
these three countries have felt slack

AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today Germans fore
ed British Third and Fifth Armies to
retreat four miles in Picardy and
took $4,000 more prisoners. Peronne,
Ham and Chauncy fell into German
hands. German newspapers reported
that the Kaiser was in personal COM
mand of the offensive. Actually, Lud-
endorff was directing the attack
without paying any attention to the
Kaiser or Hindenburg.
American Second Army Corps was
organized in the same area held by
the British First Army.
The Food Administration issued an
e3ict cutting the American wheat ra-
ton in half until the harvest of the
1918 crop.
Commissar Trotzky asked the U. S.
