Proposed Bus
Line Considered
WOOdie Asks for Franchise To
Operate Between Mt. All
ry And Salisbury.

E. o. Woodie, we'll known Ashe
county citizen, former bus line
owner and operator came into
the limelight last Saturday after
noon in Raleigh, when he ap-
piled for a bus franchise to ope-
rate between Salisbury and Mt.
Airy. This was strongly protest
ed by the Greyhound, Queen CT
ty and Carolina Coach companies
with some of the most outstand-
ing lawyers in the state as their
representatives.
Mr.. Woodie asks the privilege
of running his fleet between Mt.
Airy, the Surry metropolis, and
Salisbury, coming down from Mt.
Airy to Dobson, the Surry coun-
ty seat, thence to Elkin, Boon
vile, YadkinvilIe, , Mocksville,
Cooleemee and into Salisbury.
The larger companies resist on
the ground of damage to their
own business and upon the fur
Their contention that the route
would not pay. One of the pro-
testants has had twice a franchise
to operate between Salisbury and
Mocksville, but never has exer-
cised the privilege. The result is
that upper Rowan and all of Da-
vie, much of Yadkin and Surry
have been without this service
and it is the contention of Mr..
Woodie that it can be made to
pay.
He ran one of the first, perhaps
the very first, such line in the
west, operating between North
Wilkesboro and West Jefferson
20 years ago. 1t was tough going
but he made it go. He later sold
out his interest and now he seeks
a return to territory which he
considers a promising field.
Due to the fact that the oppo-
sltion wanted several hours to
continue their protests, the hear
ing was continued until July 81
when interested parties will
again gather in Raleigh.
A request by w. P. Billings, of
North Wilkesboro, for a franchise
to operate buses between North
WllkeSboro and Mt Airy was
taken under advertisement fol
lowing a hearing before Win
borne Saturday.

HOPKINS SAYS
u. S. BUSINESS
is ANDTNE

WASHINGTON, July 4.-Sec-
rotary of Commerce Harry L.
Hopkins tonight reported that
business activity expanded dur
ing the past six weeks, with in
duStrlal production in June rising
to the March level, reversing a
decided downward trend.
Hopkins characterized the
gains as Substantial" but he
pointed out that output was cur
tailed as a result of the coal min
ing tle-up and unsettled politi-
cal conditions abroad"
Part of the increase, he noted,
could be attributed to the recov-
cry in coal production following
termination of The dispute be-
tween operators and the United
Mine Workers of America over a
new bituminous operating con-
tract.

taxes and that the ordinary citizen doesn't
have to pay is very widespread indeed
according to recent inquiry made by the

According to the poll, three-quarters of

that they are not paying any taxes at ALL

By

ISAIAH
JONES

| AS peace proposition some OF
the solons at Washington favor
the proposition of going into the
hole. This is only reminder to
this paragrapher that the coun'
try is already in the hole and
that the country is in position to
have it pulled in.
History tells of Columbus, his
son and their strife,
But never says thing about
Christopher's wife.
She is not spoken of in poetry,
not even in song;
So it may be the fact, they real
ly did not get along.
He had no woodshed in which to
make a retreat,
So a path around the world, he
thought he would try to beat.
Across the Atlantic Ocean, he
blazed new trail
and when he got back home,
they put him in Jail.
He spent a lot of time confined
in a dismal prison,
And no wife visited him, not ev-
en- hiS'n.
Four times he was buried, and
many monuments to earn.
No one knows where his wife's
grave is to put one to her'n.
II
The PWA workers have gone
on a strike for shorter hours.
They may get tired of leaning on
a shovel handle too.
That law suit at jefferson last
week had more schedules than
the Greyhound bus lines and
more exhibits than the Worlds
Fair.
Legal procedure is about the
same as ever. Once in a while
they get a witness so tangled up
that he tells the truth in spite
of the lawyers.
l am tired of hearing that lit
tie garlic smuggler, Mayor La
Guardia, referred to as Little
Flower. Unless meulenn stalk
and Cactus plants have blooms.
Maybe though he comes under
the classification of a blooming
idiot.
A lawyer is postmaster of de-
nying things they know and of
knowing things they deny.
l heard a reference to a dyed
in the wool democrat as Stand
up" democrat. l suppose the sho-
vel handle also has its evolution
airy effect on party policy.
Russians sitting tight on the
Peace Question:. Wonder if they
are adopting Scottish policies or
have just gone wet?

BOXING BOUTS

II vigorous action counts for any.
thing, the LOO spectators at Tuesday
nights golden gloves boxing tOurna'
nient, in the Michigan Alkah club

The occasion was the WyandOtte ap-

Mission Services
at St. Joseph S

Beginning February 5 and cOntinu-
ibS for two weeks, Fathers Joseph
Raible and Walter Wartinger, of the
Congregation of the Most Precious
Blood, will conduct a mission at St.
Joseph's Catholic church, Elm and
Fourth streets Besides the special mis-
SION masses, the time of which will be
announced later, there will be rosary,
sermon, and benedictiOn Of the blessed
sacrament every evening during the
two weeks at z 80.
These missionaries come to Wyan-
dotte to give the benefit Of their rich
experience. During many years devoted
to this work, they have acquired q
facility in dealing with human prob
lens, especially spiritual ones. That
win be Of incalcuable assistance to
many who will come into contact with
them
A mission is a period Of intensified
thought and prayer. We all become too
much engroesed at times with mater
ial things. and need some f0rce to re-
turn the spiritual to its proper place
in our lives. The pleasures Of the
senses, perhaps, have power to attract
us to our own detriment, and we need
to be properly regulated in these mat
tiers. Carelessness and indifference, the
greatest enemies of faith and religion.
need some attraction, some argument,
TO counteract them. These Opportuni-
ties are offered In q special way at
this time. But all may profit by this
time Of meditation and prayer, not only
xxyf hn raoolfo,Qnf In tho
practice Of their religion, but even
those who have been faithful in the
past All may improve themselves, and
such improvement, or progress, Is the
first law OF the spiritual life. Non
Catholics, too, are cordially invited.
The priests OF st. Joseph's invite all
to make the mission. Come and invite
your friends. The week OF February Q
is for the women, the week OF the 12th
for the men.
