CORNER PARKING
RULES CHANGED

In a move to cut down the
traffic fatalities from accidents
at intersections, the District Com
missioners put into effect today a
regulation prohibiting parking
within 20 feet of the building line
at all intersections.
The regulation changes the
present section of the traffic and
motor vehicle regulations which
Stipulates that automobiles may
park within 20 feet of the curb
line. Under the new regulation,
the no-parking zone is not to ex-
ceed so feet from the interSec-
ton of curb lines in any case.
Traffic Director William Van
Duzer has been urging the change
since the Districts traffic death
toll reached its height of last year.

less that they were being cruelty treated. When
they said they were happy, contented and wished
only to work in job that they liked, these
strange men resorted to other, more persuasive"
methods to force them into their organizations.
The other fear is of Government which
spends all its time proclaiming its high moral
virtues, its warm regard for the unfairly treated
its determination to right social wrongs into
social rights, and then refuses to give the worker
who was happy the opportunity to defend his
contentment.
Instead of insisting upon the use Of the secret
ballot as the only method of determining whether
1000 workmen in a factory shall or shall not
strike, the contented workman is left to the
tender" mercies of juvenile thugs-and the
New Deal calmly winks an approving eye at this
prostitution Of its own high-Sounding philosophers
Faces TuUO Enemies
TNHE happy workman is helpless in face of these
l. last two enemies-one of which is his Gov
ernment, the people who operate it and whose
salaries he also pays in taxes and who should
be his allies. 1t is useless for him to pit his
voice against the bowling of those skilled in the
manipulation Of crowds and mass emotions. So
he Surrenders his happiness and contentment,
because he fears for the safety of his family. He
fears for his own job.
In the bosom of his family he asks in dejec-
ton: what can do? If didn't do what the
organizer said the housed be smeared with
paint, or my head would be broken, or my tools
be stolen, and then I'd be fired. And what's
more, the Government backs up these rough
necks. So I'm licked"

Collins, who is chairman of the
House District Appropriation Sub
committee, pointed out to the
President that Major Donovan
has been a District employe for
46 years, since his appointment
as clerk in the auditors office,
which he now heads.
AUDITOR 20 YEARS
Major Donovan became District
auditor 20 years ago, and is recog-
nized as an expert on all Dis
trict appropriation and tax mat
IterS.
If President Roosevelt should
name Major Donovan as District
Commissioner, he would be follow
ling the precedent set when Com
missioner Hazen was named to
the board.
Commissioner Hazen had A
years service with the District
Government when he was named
Ito the board by President RooSe-
ivelt.
The commissioner entered the
District service in 1889 with the
!engineer department, and in 1892
became assistant engineer of the
highway division. In 1905 he was
named assistant surveyor and be-
came surveyor in 1908, holding
that post until he was named COM
missioner in 1888.

tion was accepted earlier this week

Considerable speculation was be-

District suffrage poll, is expected

Should Back Judges and Courts

THERE is nothing as nerve-wracking and soul
l. revealing as witness stand. That is one
place that, unless you go on it with a clear con-
science, is enough to break down the most bril-
liant and shrewdest minds in the country. No, we
should all back our judges and our courts to the
limit. We should have respect for them, conf
dence, and utter faith in them.
I think this is the motto that these men are
following day in and day out, from the lower
courts up to the Supreme Court: Sincerity is
the end and beginning of all things. Without
sincerity it is nothing"
Certainly these judges are sincere. They do
their best to untangle and straighten out the
mixed problems that come before them. What
better service can anyone give than to hold out
a helping hand and to decide wisely and justly
for the benefit of humanity?

Man Must Produce to Earn


WHAT are some of the general principles and
w fundamental realities that liberals hold, but
that radicals reject?
Probably the most important principle just
now is that man must earn his bread in the
sweat of his brow, or that purchasing power
must be earned by production.
Purchasing power cannot be created by the
Government" The radical says that the Gov
eminent is able to create money merely by hav-
ing Mr.. Morgenthau sign his name on piece
of green paper, and that purchasing power is
created by passing this money around among
people who need relief.
The liberal sees that this is mere credit, and
creates debt which offsets it. He sees that II
the currency notes mean anything, they must
be paid for in products; but that now they are
distributed without anything of much value
being given in return.
Differences among men cannot be eliminated
by sharing the wealth." But the radical be-
lieves that men can be made equal, and that
they should be given equal wealth-or more
nearly equal wealth. Different individuals diff
fer in productivity, SO that they earn different
amounts of purchasing power.

County Classroom
Teachers Stage
December Meet
Junius Allison Is Guest
Speaker; Banquet Plans
Being Drafted

Mills River was the host school
for the December meeting of the
County Classroom Teachers last
weekend.
Junius Allison, Asheville attor-
ney, member of the Swannanoa
high school faculty and state chair
man Of the legislative committee
of classroom teachers was guest
speaker.
Mr.. Allison spoke briefly on
the Harrison-T DEMONSTRATION bill
which provides for federal aid in
education. He stated that "the bill
provided for an initial appropria-
ton Of 100 million dollars and 80
million yearly, the distribution to
be based upon the number of chill
dren in the state between the ages
of S and 90, and that, according
to the last census only seven other
states in the union would receive
more money than North Carolina. "
Mr.. Allison urged Henderson coun-
ty teachers to favor the bill.
The unit voted to go on record
as favoring the bill and a commit
tee was appointed to draw up a
resolution asking North Carolina
congressman to support the bill on
the floor when it comes up in
January. The committee was also
instructed to draw up a resolution
favoring the four-pOint program
adopted by the state deDartment
of classroom teachers. This pro-
gram consists briefly of: =.
l) Restoration Of teachers sal
aries; (2) retirement Of aged
teachers; co the addition of the
18th grade to the public school
system; and. (4) tenure for teach
erS.
Each school in the county was
asked to appoint a representative
to serve with the officers on a
board of directors who would ap.
point standing committees and
hold full governing powers:
Miss Lucille Sales, president OF
the Hendersonville unit, and Miss
Jessie Nelson, officer of the same
organization, brought greetings
from this unit and invited the
county teachers to a joint banquet
to be held this month. This invita-
ton was accepted and a commit
tee from the Henderson county
unit was appointed to serve with
the committee on arrangements. .
The teachers enjoyed social
half hour at the close of the bust
ness. session, at which time coffee,
sweet cakes and minis were served
in the home economics laboratory.
The teachers of Fletcher school
invited the teachers to meet with
them on Wednesday, January ID.
