BILL IS PREPARED
Is Counter Measure to One
Providing for Ban on Sales
In Dry Counties

RALEIGH, Jan. 29-R-A reg
ulatory'' bill for wine in the state
is being prepared for introduction
in the general assembly as a coun-
ter measure to a bill submitted
yesterday providing for the pro-
hibition of wine sales in the IA dry
counties, it was learned today.
Allen M. Furman, chairman OF
the North Carolina association for

wet counties, introduced by Rep
resentative Reynolds of Buncombe
and signed by II other house mem
bers, will greatly reduce revenues
from wine, to the state, cities anc
counties"
He observed that the state rev
enues from wine in the first sis
months of this fiscal year totalee
over 5000, 900, than three
times the income from that source
in the first six months of the las
fiscal year.
Governor Broughton had asked
that the general assembly to &C
to Improve" conditions surround
ing the sale of fortified wines.
Furman declared "a port, sher
ry, muscatel, or tokay wine can
rot be made unless it is fortified
with pure grape brandy" He add
ed that 1000 new acres Of Nortf
Carolina land were set to crap
culture in 1910.

Farm Bureau
Hits Back at
City Proposals

EAST LANSING. Nov. A.
Striking back at urban proposals
for revision of the state constitu-
ton and reapportionment of the
state Legislature, the resolutions
committee Of the Michigan Farm
Bureau today submitted 4s pro-
posals to the 600 delegates at
tending the twenty-second annual
meeting Of the powerful rural
group.
High lighting the resolutions
were two which opposed attempts
to call a state convention to revise
the constitution or amend IL to
change the legislative apportion-
ment in the state.
The resolutions were expected
TO meet with swift approval at
the final session today from the
delegates who represent more
than $4,000 farm families and
every major farm group in the
state.
URGES STRONG GROUP
In his keynote address, Clark L.
Brody Of Lansing. executive Sec
rotary of the farm bureau, urged
the farmers TO perfect the strong
est possible farm organization in
order to regain freedom of action
and initiative after the world
crisis.
Brody warned that highway and
school tax reforms gained by
farmers during the past two de-
cades may be endangered soon by
the proposed reapportionment OF
the Legislature as urged by city
groups.
1T would be obviously unfair
and contrary to the interest of
the state rs . whole for two or
three counties having large
cities to be able to dominate the
state legislature" said the re-
port.
CALLED FAIR PLAN
1--WE would suggest that it
might be fair plan to amend
our state constitution to freeze
our present state representative
districts AZ they are now con-
stituted and provide for APP
portionment Of senatorial dis
tricts on q population basis"
Concerning revision of the state
constitution. the committee sub
mitted a resolution asking that
members vote mo" on the pro-
posal TO call a constitutional con-
vention which will appear on the
ballot Of the 1912 November cleo
ton.
I'VE fear that such a proce-
dure might result In serious con-
fusion to the electorate, and
that the will of the people would
be expressed more clearly and
satisfactorily submitting
amendments to the constitution,
each Of which would then be
considered on its own merits"
the report said.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-06-11

Blank cartridge sales are total blank this season under the new blue big top of the Ringing Bros. and Barnuyn & Bailey Circus, com ing to Waterbury, Monday, June 30th, for Alfred Court, the worlds foremost trainer of performing wild animals, who presents his three world famous mixed groups of lions, tigers, Hirnalayan, Tibetan and Polar bears, black partners, jaguars and leopards, spotted leopards and pan- thers,. pumas, cougars and Great Dane dogs, uses no gur1s--ilot even one revolver--in working together natural jungle enemies contrary to all jungle laws.
 Alfred Court teaches wild ani- inals to perform by verbal com- inands. The voice is his authority. Its infections cue the savage pupils.
 Kindness is the keystone of the system, but 1t takes patience in heaping abundance, which few trainers have in sufficient quantity. It takes Court about 18 months, wrOking from to 6 hours daily, to perfect an act of mixed animals.
 He starts by studying the charac- teristics of an animal, then he be- gins to exploit the best of the pupils reactions. From there on the road Is straight, but rough and paved with montonous repetition but not for Alfred Court.
 He loves the work, and that's why
