MEMORIAL TO
war DEAD IS
HELD IN CITY
Rev. Linn Calls for Rededi-
ication to Principles for
Which Men Died
SAYS DEMOCRACY,
CHRISTIANITY LINKED

"It is only through an under
standing of the value of human
personality that we are able to
appreciate and realize the price
paid for our liberty" the Rev. j.
Arthur Linn, pastor of Grace
Lutheran church, told the con-
gregation at the high school audi
torium last night. :,
The occasion was the annual
mtmorial service, held each year
under the sponsorship of the
American Legion.
Rev. Linn spoke on "The Value
of Human Personality" taking
his text from the sixth chapter of
St. Matthew: Chow much then is
man of more value than a
sheep" He said in part:
"Christ's own answer to this
question would have been that a
man was infinitely of more value.
This seems to go to the heart of a
memorial service. 1t is only this
appreciation and realization of the
price paid for our liberty that
shows it's real value.
"In the present stage of the
world, it may at some time be
necessary in the defense of hu-
man liberty that men be sent out
to give their. lives in battle.
Human personality must not
be cheapened. 1t is only as we
view our liberty in terms of hu-
man personality that we know its
real value.
"The value of human personal
ity also goes to the heart of me-
mortal service because the hope
of the future world depends upon
a realization of its value.
"Great efforts have been made
since the last war to preserve
peace. In these efforts we have
depended upon human efforts.
We have underestimated the value
of the human soul. We have been
driven back in sheer desperation
to Christ and to share the convic-
tion that there must be a world
regeneration; a world regenera-
ton brought about by the regen-
Grafton of the individual souls one
at time. The hope of the world
lies in the progress of Christian
ity ir which men are born again
and which is the foundation of an
abideing peace.
"a memorial service should
honor the heroic dead, but it
should be made an occasion on
which we, the living, renew and
rededicate ourselves to the
achievement of those ends for
which they died.
"We honor the dead, not for
their achievements, but for the
sacrifice they made toward that
end.
"The finest in Christianity can
be achieved only in a democracy
and democracy can survive only
with the support of Christianity.
"The totalatarian states must
merge the human personality into
the state"
He concluded his sermon with
the words of Lincoln's Gettysburg
address:
at is for us, the living, rather

u. s. TODEFEND
two AMERICAS,
WELLES WARNS
Preparing to Cope With
All Foreign Aggression in
Western Hemisphere
SOLIDARITY FOR
AMERICANS URGED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. (UP)
Undersecretary of State Sumner
Welles warned the world last night
that the United States had en-
barked on a rearmament program
to assure itself adequate defense
against any foreign aggression in
the western hemisphere.
In a special broadcast to Latin
America, rebroadcast in this coun-
try, he reaffirmed the principles
of the Monroe Doctrine and said
that the United States was keep
ing its powder dry "to be pre-
pared to join with our fellow de-
mocracies of the new world IN
preserving the western hemisphere
safe from any threat of attack"
The address, delivered as one
of the regular weekly series of
inter-American broadcasts design
ed to ccuntertact German, Italian
and japanese propaganda similar
ly disseminated in South America,
was the first public exposition by
a state department official of the
American defense policy covering
the entire western hemisphere.
Indicating that the United
States did not expect world peace
to continue if maintained on the
present hasis,-N NWeRes said stl:at
treaty revisiins and international
adjustments should be made "in a
spirit of equity rather than by
use of force or the threat of
force"
He called upon the 21 Ameri-
can republics to MAINTAIN "con-
tinued solidarity" in order to save
mot only the physical integrity of
the nations of the new world, but
the security of the individual
rights and liberties 'of our citi-
zens." The declaration generally
was interpreted here to cover Can
ada as we'll as Latin-America.
The address conceded with the
speeding of American military and
naval plans to strengthen the ma
tion's defenses with air and sea
power as we'll as the coordination
of various industries to permit
facile mass production of muni-
tions and supplies in event of war.
Paying tribute to the "good
neighbor" policy and to the trend
toward increased cooperation
among the new world democra-
cies, Welles said:
"The world situation of today
makes it necessary as never be-
fore that there should not exist
between the American republics
2ny shadow of misunderstanding
or suspicion in their common re-
lationz.
1--WE are fully alive to the nat
ural ties and mutual interests ex-
isting among the American repub-
lies and we ere making every eff
fort to strengthen those ties and
to develop those interests.
"Our respective freedom. inde.
pence, and future welfare may
depend upon our continued solid
arity."
Welles emphasized >he "out.

to be held in Lima. Peru, Oh, Dec

will 90 to the polls tomorrow to
name a number of county, state
and federal officials, and ballot
on two constitutional amendment
questions.
Both M. M. Redden, chairmaV
of the county Democratic execu-
tive committee, and Jas. j. Pace,
chairman of the Republican COM
mittee, issued prediction state
ments in which they predicted VIC
tory for their respective parties at
the polls tomorrow.
Chairman L. T. Dermid. of the
county board of elections, an
nounced that the voting places
would open at Z a. m. and close
at 5:28 p. M, sundown.
A large vote. for the off-year
election is expected to be cast IN
this county.
Republicans closed their CAM
paign with q rally on Saturday
night, ut which time Jake F. New
ell, chairman of the state execu-
tive committee, spoke; and Demo-
Gratis will close their activities this
afternoon at 2 o'clock with rally
and address by Senator Robert K.
Reynolds, of Asheville.
Predicting that the Democrats
would win at the polls, Mr.. Red
den took the occasion to answer
critics of the Democratic county
administration, parti;c uIarIy
Brownlow Jackson, candidate for
the general assembly.
"I have nothing to say regard
ing Mr.. Jackson as q man. he
said, "but as a politician he held
office for nearly 25 years. Now he
objects to Democrats holding Of
flee for eight years.
"He says the present county
commissioners should be defeated
because of extravaganza. The
present county attorney is paid a
salary. Of SIS per month and a
flat fee Of $3.50 for bringing tax
suits. The total cost to the tax
payer per suit is $6. When Re-
publican commissioners were in
office, the Republican county at
torney received 500 per month
and from IS to $50 per tax suit.
The total cost to taxpayers some
times amounted to $75.
"Until recently" he said, "Mr.
Jackson did not complain at the
operation Of county government
by the present administration.
However, not long ago he became
interested In property in the city
which was valued at $4,000 for
taxes. He requested the present
commissioners to reduce this to
$4,000 and place the remainder
on other citizens Of the county,
which they declined to do.
"About eight years ago." Mr..
Redden said, "when Republican
leaders picked out q few friends,
including some of Mr.. Jackson's
relatives. and did not advertise
their property or sue them for de.
linuuent taxes, the county lost

HIGH SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ARE
EXPANDED; 60 MORE STUDENTS
ENROLLED THAN LAST YEAR
Honor Roll for First Six
Weeks Grading Period
There Released

An increase of about sixty stu
dents in the enrolment over last
year, general expansion of the
work in the. high 'scheoa and an
effort to reach those not in school
but who would like additional bus
mess training, are among the for
ward steps already indicated for
the current year with that insti-
tuition by Principal l.. K. Slngley,
in a general review of school af-
fairs, which is coupled for the
honor roll for the first SIX weeks
grading period there.
The metal shop work, Mr.. Sing
ley states, is proving so attrac-
tive to the boys that it is not pos
sible to provide training in it for
all who would take the course.
Although slightly low in the
number of books required, the
| high school library ranks sixth
among the high school libraries OF
the s,2te in all other respects.
Mr.. S1agley's survey of school
affairs and conditions follows:
"Our enrolment for the school
year 1938-39 exceeds that of last
year by about sixty students. The
course of study which we now are
offering, we think, is TIE explain

especially attractive to student:

Moons S Eclipse
Visible Here At
6 To I O'Clock
Scientists At New York to
Fly Four Miles up to
See Phenomenon

NEW YORK, Nov. 7. (UP)-
Scientists will go nearly four
miles into the air today to make
observations on one of the rarest
of all heavenly phenomena-a to-
tai eclipse of the moon in broad
daylight.
The scientific party, headed by
DR., William H. Barton, Jr., OF the
HAYDEN planetarium, will make
the trip in a TWA transport
plane flying $4,000 feet above
New York City.
The daylight eclipse is remark
able because an eclipse, caused
bv the shadow cast by the earth,
occurs when the earth is on dl--
rect line between the sun and
moon.
The refraction of light in the
earth's atmosphere is so power
full. however, that the moon can
be seen rising in the east IN the
area of shadow while the sun IS
still visible setting in the west;
due to the "bend" in refracted
light from the sun.
This will be true only for, a
narrow strip about 200 miles
wide along the Atlantic coast,
where the eclipse will occur at
D. M, EST, five minutes be-
fore sunset. The rest OF the coun-
try will see the eclipse after
dark.
DR.. w. E. Breazeale, astrono-
mer, today pointed out that there
is about forty minutes difference
between New York and Hender-
sonville time, both Eastern Stand,
ard. He stated that the moon will
rise here this afternoon at 5:2S
o'clock, and that the period Of to, to-
tai eclipse will end here at 6:OS
n. m. 1.-THE best time to see the
eclipse here" he said, "will be be-
tween six and seven o'clock. The
moon will be entirely clear of the
shadow at 7:12 o'clock, local
time"

Modelled Constitution After Americas

THE United States of Brazil
 (Estados Unidos do BrasiD came into being Nov. IS, 1889, with the overthrow of the monar- chy. A constitution, following in the main that of the United States, was adopted in 1891.
 Under thss constitution the re- public of 20 states was governed, the relation between the national and the state governments sharply defined. The Brazilian constitu- ton also clearly recognized the separation of powers, as in the American document, between the legislative, the executive and the judicial. It provided for the cleo tion of president for four years by direct vote of the electors. It gave him substantially the same powers and duties as U. s. Pres ident.
 So was the rich South American nation administered until Getulio Vargas within the last year pro- mulgated a new constitution, dis solved all legislative bodies, eff fected other changes in the form of government. But today Brazil still pays homage to the original democratic document, has issued special stamp, shown here, con- memorating the l50th anniversary of the adoption of the U. S.
