Ths law creating the corps expiree next .\farch 31. Little opposition to re-enactment without any time limiti however, is looked for by the administration. Proposals have'been made that legislation for the permanent CCC be made a part of the social security program now being drafted for presetfltation to the Seventy-fourth congTess. The time for a decision on the corps, however, probably will come j before the security plan objective has j been drafted into bill form. For that reason, it was said, congress was expected to approve the reforestation law early in the session,. It was pointed out that any changes necessary could be made easily in the | form of amendments to the CCC . statute. The general absence of criticism ' concerning the CCC?even from Re-' publican 'quarters?has been a phe- j nomenon watched with interest by the administration. Some administration critics termed the CCC the "sapling army" when the legislation was under consideration and shortly after its passage. But once the camps were set up, it was noticeable that verbal assaults were few and far between. RejAiblicans rarely mentioned the corps during the last session. Forestry service officials said today there would l>e need for the Civilian Conservation corps indefinitely. Approximately 170,000 of the youths now in the corps are at work on national preserves. He Knew When to Stop.?'Betty was milking the cow when a mad bull tore over the meadow. Betty did not stop, but continued milking. Observers who had fled to safety say to their astonishment that the bull stopped within a few yards of them and the cow and turning, went away. "Weren't you afraid? Why did he run away?" they questioned Betty. "He got scured," returned Betty. "This cow is his mother-in-law." A Sumter filling station operator, going out to a car with a Canadian license plate, when it stopped at his station, saw in it four women and one man, all nude. After paying him for gas, the car was driven across the street to where a wagon load of water-melons was standing and the driver told the negro boy to put one in the back. When the car door was opened and th" negro saw the nude women, he dropped the melon and ran. I Home May Affect Movie Influence r*?? Blame which is heaped on moviea for lowering moral standards of youth may, in part, properly be directed towarda-1 parents and home life, suggests Dr. John Dewey, dean of American educators, writing in the current Rotarian Magazine. While "recent investigations, conducted with scientific care, have shown that many boys land girls have been stimulated in unwholesome ways by the mdVies," he points out that "the influence of movies upon children is fixed by the general tone and level of the child's surroundings." "A boy or girl from a cramped environment that provides few outlets," he continues, "reacts very differently from one in which the movie is not | the main vent for romance, and for acquaintance with conditions very j different from those that habitually] ' surround him. "The luxury of scenes depicted on j the screen, the display of adventure and easy sex relations, inoculate a boy or girl living in narrow surroundings with all sorts of new ideas I and desires. Their ambitions are directed into channels thfft contrast | vividly with actual conditions of life. "The things that a boy or a girl | from a well-to-do and cultivated i home would discount or take simply i as a part of the show are for other j,children ideals to be realized?and I without special'Wgnrd for the meaps of their attainment. The little moral . at the close of the picture has no i power compared with the force of desires that are excited." One "healthy effect" of the depression seen by Dr. Dewey is "a more general questioning of the primacy of material values." With parents putting less stress on wealth, their example will become an important factor in forming more wholesome attitudes among children, wherewith to counteract any unwholesome suggestion motion pictures leave in the youthful mind. Schools also help in this but, Dr. Dewhy declares, with the child in the schoolroom only five to six hours a day and much time devoted to routine work, the teacher's influence is secondary to that of parents, the home, and other factors.?Rotarian Magazine. Hugh A. Hayes, a young man 22 years old, of Pauline, in Spartanburg county, was killed by a stroke of lightning while at a baseball game at Sedalia, in Union county. He and some others had taken shelter under a shed. The others were slightly burned. A negro in the act of breaking into a store at Dingles I>akc, three miles south of Sumter, was shot and killed by the store owner, R. M. Barwick who was exonerated by the coroner's jury. The negro was identified as Jim Humphries, of North Carolina. * Londonderry Retains All Charm of Its Many Years % With all Us modern business, Londonderry retains all the charm of Its hundreds of years. Locally It Is known as Derry, having been named for the "Queen of Erin's daughter, fair Dalre." The prefix was added when James I:granted the, lands about Derry to the'city of London, says the Chicago Daily News. The Indignant Irish pledged themselves to inclose Derry within walls to preserve its freedom and Irish Individuality. The ancient walls still stand, girdling the middle of the hill j on which the city is built, though I Londonderry Itself has long since spread beyond their confinement. The wide walls are more than a mile in circumference, but have only seven gates, so that one must make quite a Jaunt to find a passageway through them. Londonderry Is the site of the abbey l founded by Columba, one of Ireland's ' greatest saints. In the distance, on another high hill, looms the ancient stronghold of the lords of Tyrone, which both St. Colmbba and St. Patrick are said to have visited. Here, too, the massive stone wall still stands though the old castle has disappeared.

', "if V A (St. Paul, Aug. $1?Homer . Van Meter, one of the craftiest lieutenants of slain John DiHeoger's band of arch-criminals, died as he lived tonight, with a sneer on his lips and gun in his hand. 1 His trigger finger was a split second slow, and the biasing fire frpat a police machine gun felled him he he (led down an alley. The slaying climaxed an unrelentI ing two-week search for Van Meter, who whs 35, after police had . -been tipped he was again in his old hatinte here. * * While Van Meter died as did his i late chief, from bullets fired by the l law; however, unlike Dijlenger, Van Meter pulled his pistof to Are two j shots at his pursuers. They wei'te the chief of police, Frank Cullen, new supervisor of,police; Tom Brown, I head of the Bertillon department; Detectives Jess Dietrich and Thomas McMahon. Both shots went wild and Van Meter fled*' for his life. ? Brown ajUeezing the triggey of the machine gun, saw the gunman fall after a short chase. Chief Cullen in the meantime was forced to desist in his firing to avoid hitting a woman. Van Meter's body was perforated with about 50 slugs after he had scuttled from a street intersection not far from the downtown district when ordered to halt by the' police officers, who had recognized him as they were crossing in a squad car. Chief Cullen said authorities had been "trailing" Van Meter night and day for two weeks, intimating the fugitive had been going and coming from his hideaway here during that time. j In his pockets was found $923 fn cash, mostly in ten and 20 dollar bills, j In his head, heart, hands, abdomen, legs and back were bullets. Found with the money was an extra clip of cartridges for his automatic and an Illinois motor vehicle license registration card issued to a "Henry Adams." It was the 17th killing in connection with the hunt for Dillenger and his gang, including members of the mob. Van Meter, whose index finger on his left hand had been shot off and the thumb and second finger on his right hand almost severed by the .blast of machine gun fire, was one of the gang that robbed the Sious Falls (S. D.) Security National Bank last March 6 of more than $40,000, police said. Chief Cullen refused to 'disclose whence authorities got their tip that Van Meter was in town. The fugitive was the second Dillinger mobsman to meet death in this city. The first was Eugene Green,Sj killed by a federal department of jus-1 tice ambuscade when authorities sought the notorious outlaw after his sensational escape from an apartment; here last March. 31. Van Meter, authorities learned after scanning ..the body., _had had his face "lifted" and a mole in his forehead removed. Taking a lead from the book of his chief/ Van Meter also had consulted 4!4>eattty specialists," police said. He bad a tattoo mark on his .left arm. When his crumpled body was packed into an ambulance, and later viewed .at the morgue, it was ascertained that it had been removed. In recent years, Van Meter had sported a mustache. It too, had been shaved off in a futile effort to conceal hia identity. | Chief Cullen and Detective Brown expressed belief that Van Meter had dyed his hair black. Previously, police said, Van MeteV's hair was a lighter shade. Card Of Thanks We wish to thank the many friends for their kindness during the illness , and death of our son and brother.
