JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS
HAIL SUPREME COURT
DECISION

The thirty-four national and
local Jewish agencies associated
in the National Community Rela-
tons Advisory Council hailed the
U. S. Supreme Court decision on
restrictive covenants as "a further
blow against racial and religious
ghettoes in American life"
In a joint statement, the Jew
ish groups declared that the deci-
sion of the Court will greatly
discourage efforts to evade the
landmark decision of 1913 in
which the Court held that racial
restrictive covenants could not be
enforced.

7 TokeMyWord for 1t
By Fronk Colby

by fFonk OoIDy
There are no mice" nor mes"
in demise. Rhyme the second
syllable with "size," thus: di-
MIzE. One of the meanings of
demise is "the decease of a royal
or fprincely person" Use of
demise IN connection with per-
sons not Of the royalty is gran
diloquent-in other words, puffed
up. bombastic, pompous.
Watch the words cavalry and
Calvary. A surprisingly large
number of people confuse CAL
vary, "the place where Christ
was crucified." with cavalry, "a
military force that serves on
horseback" These two words,
so much alike in spelling, are
worlds. apart in meaning. Pro-
nounce cavalry as: KAV-ull-ree.
Calvary is pronounced: KALI
vuh-ree.
There are no such words as
"artic" and "anartic," but that
is the way many of us say
"arctic" and antarctic. Be sure
to sound the first &C" in arctic
and the first 1T" and &c" in
antartic. Say: AHRK- tic; ant
AHRK- -tik.
The word disastrous has three
syllables only. Not "di-ZASS-
ter-uss." Note that the third
syllable is -trous. not "terous."
Be sure to say: di-ZASS-truss.
Hindrance is another word in
which an extra syllable is often
heard, as, IN-der-unss." Hin
drance is a two-syllable word.
The older spelling. "hinderance,"
is now obsolete. Better say:
HIN-d -dr'nSS.

be a truly wonder drug against
syphilis, and only three injections
can cure completely most cases.

Car Thieves Caught;
Confess To FBI

The 1852 Chevrolet, the proper
~ of L. B. Hedgcoe of Tabor City
has been recovered in a garage in
Port Washington, Wisconsin. The
three escapes from the Conway
prison camp were also captured
and have confessed to the F. B. |.
At the time of the arrest two
of them were picked up and gave
the names of william Harrell Ty-
son, white 80, and Paul Frank
Price, white, who was said by the
police to be the driver. The third
escapee, c. B. Dew, was picked
up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by
the F. B. l. charged with vagrancy
and is also being held for investi-
cation.
The three have been turned over
to the F. B. l. and have confessed
to them that their names were
Earl Gardner, Carl Cox, and c. B.
Dew and that they stole the Hedg-
coe car and were escapes from
the Conway prison camp.
They changed the North Caro-
lima license tag on the Hedgcoe
car and replaced it with South
Carolina license tag D-216-186
though the F. b. |. found that
serial number on the car was the
same as that belonged on the
Hedgcoe car.
They made the mistake of
wrecking the Chevrolet and hav-
ing il hauled to a garage who re-
ported it to the police. Had they
not wrecked the auto they might
have gotten over into Canada
which was apparently the direc-
ton they were headed in.
The Hedgcoc car was badly
damaged and it is not known
whether it will be worth having
repaired or not
II is thought that the F. 3.
will charge them with the trans
pOrtation of Il stolen automobile
over a State line and then turn
them over to the South Carolina
authorities TO serve out the rest

that desired to enter play in the
proposed league. send in to him
at once roster of their players.
Most persons believed that it

a league to be formed that would
demand much interest. In years
past the Rotary, Civilian, Baptist

have had teams but no league was
formed last year.

Has Hot Time With
Small Fire Wednesday

Wednesday afternoon the Tabor
City Fire Department was called
to the home of bessie Chestnut,
colored, were the attic of the
house had caught fire from what
Fire Chief Lewis Gore thinks was
a short circuit in the electric
wires.
According to Bessie the lights
at her home had been off most
of the day and had been reported
10 the electric company and there
was one of their men there when
the fire department arrived.
Being Wednesday afternoon
there were few of the fircmcn
around town, and the dcparcmcnt
was short handed According TO
Chief Gore, had they been d few
minutes later in being called there
would have been nothing left of
the house. As il was there was
very little damage from the fire
which was confined mostly In
some Christmas decorations stored
in the attic and the charring of
some of the wood work. Most of
the damage was from water.
The Chief stated that when he
arrived smoke was coming out of
both ends of the house and the
attic was filled with 4 choaking
smoke that made it difficult to
find the fire and caused them to
use much more water than they
otherwise would have had to use.
The furniture on the first floor
was removed as fast as possible
though most of it was well wet
down before the men could get it
out.
