Landslides At Deep Gap We're
Another .Jinx To Odus Watson

The disastrous landslides at
Deep Gap, which killed num-
Der of persons and injured seve-
raj others, were another jinx to
Odus Watson according to his
own statements.
Watson was one of the worst
sufferers of the catastrophe as
we'll as one of the main heroes.
Odus, operator of one of the
two filling stations on the Boone
to North Wilkesboro highway, is
accredited with having pulled
nine of the victims from the tons
of debris and water which literal
ly fell from the mountainside to
cover two residences and two fill
ling stations on the road, not to
mention the Is homes destroyed
in the valley below.

with many which have come his
way, and has already made pro-
mise OF his neighbors that he'll
get along without relief. But at
that, he does have a hard luck

ufactured for pure amusement,
but real, nevertheless.
"When I first started logging
on New River, my boss went
broke, so went to threshing with
a new machine I bought. /
geared my tractor so high that it
blew up and I lost all I had in
it. Then 1 went to Montana,
where a horse threw me and l
strained my back; so 1 began
work in irrigation. At this job l
took inf1amatory rheumatism and
spent all my money in the hos
pital, so 1 went to California to
get job in the redwood forest,
but I couldn't pass the health ex-
animation there. Then I came
back to Deep Gap and bought a
pickup to haul cattle, but 1t
wrecked. I then went into the fill
ling station business, but soon at
forwards took pneumonia fever.

Healing Sp'gs News
BY Floyd Owen

The crest of the recent flood at
Healing Springs on the North
Fork was about ten feet higher
than the flood of 1916. The vol
ume of water was probably more
than twice that of 1916.
There were several homes and
many other buildings washed
away.
The homes of Will Ballou and
Frank Phipps were swept away
with all furnishings. =
It is estimated that the crop da-
mage is more than one-third.
Owing to the wreckage to the
roads and bridges the resort bust
ness is suffering temporary
slump.
Due to threatening weather
conditions the military drill at
the high school Sunday was not
so we'll attended as usual. The
power lines are still down in this
section.

UNCLE BLISS

| O4NSLA1 DAAOO
met Uncle Bliss yesterday on
the corner. He was waiting for the
street car. 1t was quite cold and
Uncle Bliss was wrapped up like a
Christmas doll. The weather was
obvious, so l made no comment.
However, / thought l would ask
him what he thought of the So
called younger generation. He
asked me to step inside of the
store. l expected a wholesale con
demnation of all young people, but
instead he said: at isn't the
younger generation that disap-
points me; it's the generation that
is the father and mother of these
boys and girls. You know, it's
quite easy to tell a boy or girl
don't do this and don't do that,
don't stay out late, don't drink and
don't get into trouble. This mega
tive advice is not enough. Too
many parents feel that they have
discharged their duty when the
sound lecture has ended. What is
needed, believe, is a positive and
constructive program of parental
guidance. l have seen fifteen and
sixteen year old girls at dances
and beer parlors without their par
ents." l interrupted: What parents
would take their fifteen or sixteen
year old to a tavern or dance ?"
That's just the point" he replied.
Since children ia their teens are
bent on adventure and new expert
ences, why shouldn't the parents be
the first to introduce them. At the
same time, they can be told why
they are not to be seen in such
places alone. l would rather accom-
pany my daughter, than to have
her accompanied by a young man
about whom l know nothing.
81 see my car is coming; but l
would say that the younger gener-
alton needs just little more asso-
citation and supervision from the
generation of thirty or forty years
ago"

URGES ANTI-LYNCH BILL
SUPPORT
To the Editor:

10 the Editor:
AS most of us know, there is now
pending in the Senate a piece of
legislation of momentous impor-
lance to Negro Americans. There
have been innumerable anti-lynch
bills and most of them have passed
the House only to meet with stub
born and unyielding resistance in
the Senate. A bloc of determined
Southern senators have success
fully filibustered all such bills into
oblivion or safely buried them in
committee.
UnquestiOnably majority of the
senators are aware of the broad
social significance of the present
anti-lynch bill and would earnestly
like to see it passed. 1t is question
able, however, if these same sena-
tors have been made to realize how
much more important their Negro
constituents consider the bill. True
enough, they have received scat
tered support of the bill from the
"colored folks back home," but only
in a few instances has there been
the veritable flood of letters and
kilograms which such legislation
warrants and which tells the sena-
tors in no uncertain terms that the
folks back home" are really "het
up" and demand action.
Though we in Minnesota are
somewhat removed from the actual
scene of lynchings, we cannot and
must not forget that Though we
live in Minnesota) our lot is in
extricably bound up with the lot of
Negroes all over the U. S.
At this session of Congress, the
anti-lynch bill has a better chance
of passing than ever before-if the
proper kind of pressure is brought
to bear on our senators so that the
bill can be brought up for a vote.
1t is our responsibility to supply
the necessary pressure!
Whatever colored organizations
there are in this state (civic, So
cial, and otherwise) which consider
themselves (and want to be consid-
ered) of any consequence as forces
in the community, should immedi-
ately announce this fact to them
selves and to the public by writing
or telegraphing their U. S. Sena-
tors, urging them to bring the anti
lynch bill to a vote-and vote for
it Let all of US do our part to
show the world that a handful of
socially blind and morally unprinci-
pied men are not the ruling force
in this country we call democracy.
