Alleged Skip Driver
 Appeals $1OO Fine
Found Guilty on Two Charges, Discharged on Third;
 Opposing Counsel Engaged in Verbal Tilt

During the testimony of one o1 the witnesses for the state, Attorney Tobin interrupted Prosecuting At- torney Michael J. Galullo by stat ing that the witness should testify and not be cross examined. Attor- ney Tobin who represented the ac- cused, said that the only time that the prosecutor had the power to cross examine the witness was when he proved hostile and apparently the witness showed no such tenden- cies.
 Judge Gaffney interposed and in- formed the two lawyers to proceed with the case, confining their facts to the evidence. A youth who hac been riding with the accused at the night of the hit-and-run accident spoke in low voice.
 Judge Gaffney several times dur ing the testimony of the youth warned the boy to answer "yes or no" and to speak distinctly.
 Motor Patrolmen Alfred Overtor testified that the accused was drink ing but not drunk. Defense Atty Tobin then inquired:
 Since when has the police the right to say if the accused was in- toxicated, and I thought that the charges was preferred by the State.
 Pros. Atty. Galullo started to ad. wise the officer on the witness stanc but was interrupted by Judge Calf ney who said," confine your facts to the evidence, and this introduc- ton of extraneous matter can Bt eliminated.
 The testimony by the officer pro. ceeded without further interruption Judge Gaffney fined Cristino. $10( and cost on the evading responsi- bility charge, granted discharge or the operating under the influence count, and imposed fine of $2; and cost on the reckless driving charge.

Man Fellow Worker
 Of God Says Bishop
Rt Rev. H. Knox SherriII of Massachusetts Urges All to Be Thankful to Him for Matching Us With Hour

Not only the theologian, but also the man in the street, finds today tension in this question: how can such sufferings in the world be al- lowed if there is a God of justice and righteouSneSS?" Bishop Sher- Till said. But first we ought to ask another question: how DOES God act in human life? Not how CAN God act for I do not think he is limited in His power, but how DOES He act? In brief, the way He works is mostly through God-in- spired men and women"
 Tn times of crises when the Chil- dren of Israel wanted to be freed from their Egyptian overlords and led to the promised land, there was a man sent from God-MoSes. In time of crisis when Jerusalem was frightened by the fear of destruc- tion and the panicked people were turning this way and that, there was man sent from God-Isaiah, telling them, Tn quiet and confi- dence will be your strength
 'In time of crisis in our own country there was man sent of God-Abraham Lincoln. One can not read Sanburg's "War Years" without feeling the atmosphere of God about all Lincoln did. When God wants to conquer pain, a man, Pasteur, discovers part of Gods truth, and in Labrador a man-Wil- liam Grenfel-feels himself a fellow laborer with God.
 Gods redemption will come through men whose hearts and minds are open to Gods strength. But this partnership must be on both sides. We have wanted to go our own way, have followed our own schemes and plans, neglected the certain will of God. Now we turn to God saying See what you made us do!' We have forgotten that it is a mutual enterprise. He has shown us the way and we must open ourselves to His guidance ano power if we hope to redeem the times in which we live"

warm welcome for Americans in the Bahamas"
 The duke said he was extremely interested in the United States eco camps with view to adapting some- thing of the kind for the negro population of the islands. When in- formed there were several CCC camps near Miami he said he would like to visit one on this trip.
 "I haven't brought the matter up with my executive council yet" he said, "but our camps would be en- tirely for colored people-educating them, showing them what kind of foods to eat, teaching them a craft or a trade"

CoL. AyERILL PRoTEsr

Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. 10.-CUP)- Col. Ernest L. Averill, state director of selective service, said today he would go to Washington Thursdav to protest against the possibility or racial discrimination in filling Con- necticut's draft quota.
 Concerning reports that the Jan- uary quota of 662 would be compos. ed entirely of white eligibles, he de- clared "If the call comes for ten men from a certain local board and the first five examined are colored men, it is not fair to defer them. The white man is entitled to stay at home until he is called just as the colored man is."
 Several members of the selective service board will accompany him to Washington, Col. Averill said.

Seen And Heard
George Applewhite, of TIL e
Skyland Post staff, was riding
with a friend who is also deaf
and mute, in North Wilkesboro,
when the muffler came off, re-
sulting in much noise. A patrol
man heard the noise, saw the car
and sounded his siren, but nat
urally the occupants did not see
him. When they failed to stop he
figured he had something and
speeded up to stop the car and
search them, before they could
write him an explanation. A pa
trolman may know highway
signs, but in this case. he could
have saved himself some time
and trouble if he had known the
sign language.

then he added, that he couldn't
get bit Of it over the one he
paid 5000 for.
Terrifying" Noise
Last week VIM. Terry, of Eau
cette's, decorated a window in
Halloween merchandise. Along
with the noise was a weird brind-
ing sound which attracted much
attention. Many customers wan
ted to know what it represented.
1t was explained that it was the
ghosts and COLLINS which could
not be seen. Few of the custo-
mers, however, were satisfied
with this explanation. Most of
them decided it was a noise la
Terry or an attempt on his part
to terrify some one.
New Management
Some travellers reported that
not so long ago while driving
along on the road enroute to West
Jefferson they noticed a sign,
Colonial Hotel Under A New
Management" Having stopped
there some years back they de-
cided to try it again inspite of
the announced change. They
stopped and went in and were
greeted by man who was very
solicitious about them and final
ly asked about the remains. It
was then that the travellers dis
covered that what they once

Now that election time is near
at hand, there are polls and more
polls conducted in various sec
tons. Sometimes they are true
indication of the final outcome,
yet on the other hand occasional
ly the election stages a right
about face.
A recent poll of the mountain
states including Arizona, Colora-
do, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, Utah and Wyoming
shows that at present, contrary
to the usual custom, there will
probably be some division there
this year, with Roosevelt getting
81 electoral votes and Willkie 6.
Interest is increasing in the poll
being conducted by The Skyland
Post. Those who have not cast
their ballots are asked to bring
or mail them in.
! Matrimonial Bargains
| The other day we saw woman
introduce her husband to a
friend, and she added, II secured
him through matrimonial agen-
cy."
The friends comment was that,

MILAN, who is a popular and al
most daily visitor to town, adj
mits that he almost has a bu-
reau. He points out that he has
been able to assist or at any rate
to influence girls into getting
really fine husbands who are by
no means clearance bargains. He
jokingly said that if a girl wan
ted to get married to someone
else she only had to be seen
with him a few times. He named
several proofs of this which we
won't repeat here!
Oh Shucks!

A man who had one Of the new
ones the other day remarked, ooh
shucks, I had never slept on any
thing but a shuck mattress until
now, and there is a big differ
ence.
Seeing Red
Uncle Stokes Vannoy, really
saw red the other day. Someone
mailed him a bright red pair OF
suspenders on which was written
the name of ''Willkie".
Mr.. Vannoy is an ardent Demo
crat, and it is rumored that the
donor of this gift may be repaid
after fashion.
Money and Radios
Ira T. Johnston, who is a foot

how he was able to do so he re-
piled that it as over 1895 ra-

If we have friends we must be
friendly, too,
When our acquaintance we greet
And if we smile, and our smiles
true,
Our smiles will other smiles
meet.
Silver and gold may vanish
away;
Beauty may soon fade, too.
But this will not change the
hearts of friends,
If their hearts are friendly and
true.
So whether your eyes are green,
brown or blue,
Your hearts are of gold, that I
trust are true.
Whether your hair is blonde or
dark,
And whether it is curly or
straight,
You're all my friends and 1 hope
we'll meet
At the beautiful Golden Gate.
