Civilian Corps May
Be Made Permanent
Washington, Aug. 25.?President
Roosevelt's Civilian Conservation
i
corps, officials said today, was almost
certain to be made a permanent institution
during the next congress.
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

as Jim Humphries, of North

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.

Another Bad Man
Falls From Bullets
fi*. ', "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.
