L. C. Barksdale, treasurer, report ed that the corporation had approx- imately $115,000 in cash and securi ties on hand, plus the hotel lot, and that outstanding obligations amount ed to $3,000 owed the architect for plans.

He challenged the Soviet govern ment to lift its “iron curtain” and take other steps toward peace. “We hate war ,but we love our libertiefct,” the President declared. “We will not see them destroyed. We want peace but iu must be a peace founded upon justice. That American policy is as old as our re public, and i| is stronger today than ever before in our history. We in tend to keep it that way.” He laid solely at Russia’s doorstep responsibility fr the "constant threat to peace” inherent in vast armies ui both Europe and Russia. In his first report on his Wakz Island conference with Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Mr. Trman pledged Unit ed States support of all Asiatic na tions in their defense against attacks by Russia or its Communist satel lites with these words.: • “We know that the peoples of Asia cherish their freedom and in dependence. “We sympathize with that desire and wilj help them to attain and defend their independence. Our en tire history proclaims our policy on that point. Our men are fighting now in Asia to help secure the free dom and independence of a small j nation which was bruatlly attacked ” I The United States, Mr. Truman ,said, is “aware of the dangers we I face” and is preparing “to meet them.’’ "Let no aggressor make any mis take about mat,” he added. “We I value our independence and our free life in this country—and we will give all that we have to preserve them. ’ \ Halloween Forty At Hurricane School The Hurricane school near here, of which Mrs. Tom Milam is principal, will give a Halloween party Tuesday night, October 31, at 7:30. to which^ the public is invited.
