ONCE UPON FEB. 18th

Encampment, Wyoming, the resort
town near where Thomas A. Edison is
recorded as having conceived his first
successful electric light, recently &C
quired it's first central electric plant
a half century after Edison perfected
his light.
Edison was fishing with bamboo
pole in Battle Lake, near Encamp-
ment, when he hit upon a solution to
a problem which had puzzled him for
years. Bamboo, he decided would pro-
vide the substance needed for electric
lamp filiment. Carbon had proven I'M
suitable, had burned out quickly.
There must be a substance which
would endure high temperature with
out breaking down. Carbonized strips
of bamboo enabled him to find a glow
ing non-burning filiment in a vacuum
the invention which revolutionized the
lighting of cities and homes
Edison was only 80 at the time. He
was born 81 years ago today.
Some of the ingenuity of Edison was
possessed by the unknown inventor
who built the first mines employed in
warfare. Those that figured in the
famous Battle of the Kegs" in the
Delaware River at Philadelphia, dur
ing the Revolution. The recent note
in this column anent the Battle"
said that the kegs were loaded with
dynamite. That caused Alex Horton
of Macarthur, O., and other miners,
lumbermen, ETC., and users of dyna-
mite to report us in error. Dynamite
was not invented until Is years ago.
Black powder was in the kegs. Mr..
Horton also suggested it was an error
to state that the kegs were exploded
by impact, for there were no caps
until much later and fuses then in
use burned out in a few minutes.
They were exploded by impact, by
means of some kind of machinery

WINTER

WINTER
1 love the dear old winter
With a blazing fire so bright.
The long dreamy nights of slumber
With a silver moon in sight.
To watch the gray clouds drifting
So high and then so low.
To watch the tiny sparkles
Of pure white falling snow
The ripping of a little stream
That's frozen tight with ice.
To crush it just little bit
And hold my breath with fright.
I love the dear old winter winds,
To feel it in my face.
I like to hold it very tight,
To keep it in it's place.
I like to watch the sun set
When winter day is cold
Il makes it's colors brighter
White, yellow, red and gold.
With winter, winter, everywhere
The tiny snow birds sing.
We soon will have to say goodbye
To welcome forth the spring.

An Agreement.
It would not matter so much if
Washington, and Washington alone
had assumed this sassy" attitude to-
ward Tokyo.
But it appears that London and
Paris also have "sassed" the Tokyo
regime.
It looks like an alliance!
Okay! Agree that an alliance of tn 2
democratic powers is necessary.

As the Signs Point.
The signs certainly are that Wash

in eahoots.
The dope is that Uncle Sam will
take care of the Pacific-a whole lot
of it, anyway. And that Britain will
take care of the Atlantic; Brazil, a :
gentina and miscellaneously, the
South American east coast.
All this implies an AngloFranco-
American treaty.

contemporary account says the kegs
were so arranged with machinery
that on rubbing against an object they
would explode" "One of them touch

into a small boat, and attempting to
take up the key, it burst with a great
explosion, and blew up the unfortu-

100000 TAR HEELS
GET CCC CAMP AID
Have Helped Finance Re-
latives and Received
Training of Their Own

Raleigh, Feb 11-Almost 10000
young Tar Heels have received train
ing for future vocations, subsistence
for themselves, al10tments for their
dependents or relatives, mental and
physical advantages and opportunities,
and many other benefits from enlist
ing in Civilian Conservation Corps
camps in North Carolina during the
last five years, according to T. L.
Grier, State supervisor of CCC selec-
ton. 4
Grief, who has been associated
with the selection division since the
beginning of the program in April,
1888, thinks that the value of the CCC
cannot be measured in terms of dol
lars and cents, but is emphatically
confident that thousands of North
Carolina youths have been given a
new lease, of life through their con-
nection with the camps scattered
throughout the state.
II could tell you of many instances
where young men, frequently down
hearted and dispirited because of
their inability to obtain work. Grier
said recently, "have come to us and
enrolled in the CCC and recovered
their self respect, in addition to earn
ing their livelihood and living in an
atmosphere that tended to improve
their mental, moral physical and spir-
itual attitudes. That is why I take
so much interest in my work. 1t is a
real pleasure and privilege to have a
part in rehabilitating our young men
and in seeing them fit themselves for
the battles of life"
II am very happy over the fact that
President Roosevelt recently has init
mated that the CCC will become a per-
manent part of the national govern
r1ert. /" Grier continued. II cannot con-
ceive of anything that has been of
more real benefit to our young men
than that program. During the de-
preston years, thousands of them
were roaming the roads and high
ways of our country, desperate be-
cause of their inability to obtain
work. Now, all that is changed for
the young man who really is honest
nnd wants to earn his own livelihood
and prepare himself for better
