In the sphagnum bogs from New

however, that though called grass

This plant loves the cold, messy
bogs. There are many related to
the Alaska cotton grass, and wher-

lovely and add much to the beauty
Of the place in which they flourish.

RALEIGH, Oct. 30.-Nobody is
rejoicing over the flareup in Hit
ler's war which has involved little
Greece; but there's no getting
away from the obvious fact that
it has aided President Roosevelt
reelection campaign to an unde-
termined, but certainly important
extent.
This is reflected right here in
Raleigh. Greece and Italy went to
war on Monday. AS early as Tues
day morning the mail of Dick Rey-
nolds, heading the financial cam
paign for Roosevelt and Wallace
in North Carolina, was filled with
checks from citizens obviously of
Greek origin-there was no mis-
taking the names. This happened
before there had e e n been a
chance for solicitation or for plac-
ing emphasis on the Grecian an
gle.
Dick remarked Tuesday morn
ing: Il guess I'll have to get a
Greek stenographer to keep track
of these names"
The movie Mountain Folks"
produced by a branch Of the Uni
versity of North Carolina Exten-
sion Service, is going to be modi-
fled, or discarded.
The film was taken in Macon
county and depicts families and
incidents undoubtedly and unques-
tionably accurate; but there is no
accompanying explanation that
the barefooted, rather benighted
mountaineer depicted is the excep-
ton rather than the rule in Macon
and other western counties. Cover
nor Hoey, after seeing the flicker,
said it seems to be a case of mis-
placed emphasis. He likened it to
making a film of New York tene-
ments and labelling it &c i t y
Folks without any other explana-
ton.
AS a matter of TACT, the COVER
nor said, Macon county has the
highest percentage of college
graduates of any county in North
Carolina.
Wilmington's Junior Chamber
of Commerce is reported to be
considering support for a cam.
paign to change form of the city's
government from commission to
manager.
Obviously the younger genera
ton in the City by the Sea hasn't
heard the sad fate which overlook
Raleigh's Jaycees in a similar ven
ture.
Reports from rural sections OF
the east indicate that the present
drought is SO prolonged that it has
affected the quail.
Farmers and hoters who have
visited sections of Harnett, Colum-
but and other neighboring counties,
report that in many places the
quail r actually dying for lack
of water-with others so weak as
to be in great danger of succumb-
ing.
Governor Clyde R. Hoey isn't
saying anything about it-obviously
he wouldn't-but it's a safe bet
that he is campaigning for Roose-
velt's reelection with much more
enthusiasm since John L. Lewis
came out for Wendell Willkie.
Like many other Tar Heel DEM
ocrats the governors chief COM
plant against FDR has been the
Presidents failure to act in the
famous "Sit-Down' strikes; and
they have been fearful that Roose-
welt might seek to appease the C.
l. O. leader with promises of
favors after reelection.
State Treasurer Charles M.
Johnson, who is due to speak on
the radio Friday night, is said to
be planning a blast at Lewis which
will very accurately reflect the
opinion of the group to which the
governor belongs.

Gas Next?
BY PAUL MANNING
NEA London CORRESPONDENT

LONDON.-A young German pi-
lot died recently in a British hos
pital. Six weeks of medical care
failed to overcome the effect of a
t~hree-second machine gun burst.
More significant than the death
of this lone soldier were his last
words, uttered in payment for the
nursing he eve expected to re-
ceive:
"Please heed my warning and
never take a step without a gas
mask. That is all 1 can say"
Whether German planes will
suddenly appear at some hour
and begin spraying crowded Lon
don with deadly gas is purely con-
lecture and needs more than the
implied belief of some possibly
irrational German boy.
Yet signs r beginning to creep
up indicating that gas may be
used on London if the current
aerial blitz campaign of using big
ger explosives of a more deadly
nature fails to panic the subsist-
ence level section of this city's
population.
DO ACCUSATIONS
PRESAGE ATTACK?
Nazis have recently ordered
every German civilian to equip
himself with a government 6 a S
mask. The British are now con-
Quoting a quiet campaign urging
people to never move without
their mask.
The Nazi high command has
accused the British of using gas
against the German civilian pop
ulation-a statement which mill
tary authorities here emphatically
deny. They point out that the
Nazis usually precede an attack
with accusations of this kind.
With the evidence mounting that
gas may be used, some well-in-
formed neutral observers, who be-
lieve events certainly will get
worse before they improve, are
wondering if London a take gas

Asks Mrs. F. r.

Blue Earth-Ed Clifford, Fran
cis Sullivan, Ed Boisclair and
Will DAILY of Quicken, who left
January 80 and returned Feb
ruary IL, from a trip through IS
southern states, report a most in
teresting experience.
While sitting in their car on
the beach at DaytOna Beach,
Florida, the men noticed three
women walking toward them and
heard the exclamation, There's
a car from Minnesota" The Wo-
men, one of whom seemed FAM
iliar, approached the car. Follow
ing closely, two men in uniform
also approached. The woman who
noticed the car was Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt, none other than the
wife of President Roosevelt with
two friends and her personal
guards.
Reaching the car Mrs. Roose-
welt shook hands with the Cue
keen men and inquired where
they were from. When informed
they were from Quicken, she
asked what larger town it was
near. The men replied that Cue
keen was west of Blue Earth,
whereupon the First Lady of the
Land said, THAT'S in southern
Minnesota, isn't it?" ...
Richer in experience and COM
plimented by the contact, the
local men say that "the First
Lady surely knows her geogra-
phy."
