Cr1tS and
Gravel .
By L. MOSES JONES

In the last issue we had just en-
tered a marathon riding contest, all
of us riding out to the Forsyth County
San, and were going to ride on until
this issue, so here we are. We arrived
at the San and the weather was
very warm, really hot. We went in
and asked for DR.. Yoder. He was
verv busy at a special clinic and could
not be seen at that time. He and
Mrs. Yoder were at the State San
when I was a patient there IN l9Z:
/ had a very bad toe while there and
one morning about nine another Eel
ow and myself each received a mes
sage to come at once to the operating
room. The other fellow went on the
able first, and when the nail had been
removed from his toe, DR.. Yoder then
relieved nv left great toe of its nail.
At the time I thought l would never
be bothered with another nail on that
toe, but in about four and a halt
months, I had sprouted and grown a
beautiful new nail.
But back to the Forsyth County
San. I finally spied Mrs. Yoder and
smoke to her. She remembered my
face but not my name. When l told
her I was the one everybody ca led
Grandpa" she remembered me. We
used to enjoy her music in the lobby
/ lot after supper and on Sunday
mornings. She also sang at the grad
1ating exercises of the nurses that
spring.
Mrs. Yoder took us over the build
ing. and showed us around. The
San is a beautiful place. DR.. Yoder
left the State San about eight years
ago to take charge of this San, and
Mrs Yoder is Superintendent of the
nurses. Miss Connelley and Miss
Irma Taylor were both former. &C.
quaintances to me- Miss Taylor is an
old Oxford girl, and is nurse there
at the San.
Just before we left, DR.. Yoder got
through his work in time for us to
speak to him. We then went on
back to town and left our guide,
Charles Clabern, at his home. His
mother was not quite having Mysteries
and it was really funny after it was
all over, but not funny while the SUI
spense was going on. Just after we
left with Charles, the cook told his
mother, "sposern those folks kidnap
your boy" Then she happened 70
think that she really did not know
any of us, and she was worried until
we returned. Charles is a fine guide.
I told him he ought to write book
or leaf ct about the Moravian Gene
terry and distribute it among the tour
lists. The city really ought to have a
booklet of the city for him to give out.
It would advertise Winston Salem.
wanted very much to look up the
whereabouts of Mr.. Boyer and see
him once more. He also was at the
State San when I was there in
1927. For some years prior to that

WHAT happened to the Hawaii Clipper? "Dead'
w machines tell no tales. But here is theory ad-
vanced by who ought to know. (We'd like to hear
from other experts) We merely report it as we would
report rregularty in the affairs of public official:
The giant Pacific flying boats carry huge tanks full
of high octane gasoline which is pumped from the tall
tanks forward to maintain balance the gasoline is
consumed Electric motors do the pumping.
AS the gasoline level drops in the huge tanks, gas
collects over the liquid remaining in the tank.
That gas is explosive hydrogen-as the captain
of any gasoline tanker tell you. He knows he would
have load of TINT board if he brought empty
tanker back from pay-voyage That's
LIKE LOGG why regulations require an empty
NJ TINT gasoline tanker to take water
When the big flying boats pass
from cloud base another at great speed differ
electrical potential is created, which in turn
creates the cracking sparks of static elecricitytny
"lightning'
The big flying boats, carrying tanks full of explosive
gas, then dangerous the drigble Hindenburg
which exploded over Lakehurst.
This theory could account for the mysterious "explo
sion of the Clipper plane that blew up in January when
Captain Musick was bringing her into Samoa with her
crew, after test flight Southern Pacific
route, projected link between New Zealand and the
United States
German plane builders have been long conscious of
this inherent danger in planes using high octane gaso
line That's said to be why they turned to the
of Diesel engines.

CHAIRMAN DAVID I. WALSH of the Senate Naval
v Affairs Committee, who piloted the 100000
ten-year naval expansion program through Congress,
now declares there is real hurry about getting to
work on it.
Admitting that the international situation is Serious,
the Massachusetts soon declares the condition applies
only to Asia and to Europe and not at all to America.
All have to do he advises is to attend to our own
business and keep out of that of other nations
That would be swell, Senator if only the other ma
tions they get to actual fighting would not insist

Our friend, Boake Carter, criti-
cized our President in Fridays
issue. You may address the fol
lowing to him:
Roosevelt was born rich. So
what? So was George Wash
ington, the guy that started all
this business.
Don't think that a man who
has gone through the suffering
and humility of being a cripple
could have gotten where he is
today without spiritual cour-
age"
What President have we ever
had since Lincoln who has done
so much for his country?
If you think he isn't q re-
former, come to Washington
and look at our low-cost hous-
ing, the slum clearance: travel
around these United States and
see the dams that have sent the
prices Of electricity hurtling
downward.
You have a job, although I
can't see why. A news COM
mentator is man who talks of
present events of world affairs:
not one to go sticking his nose
over the back fence and do a
lot Of worthless gosSiping about
those who do so much good.
We love our President, Mr..
Carter. Please find something
else to gossip about or go back

One thing, he doesn't associate
with John L. Lewis as I have

started any scandal against his
