Miss Gipson’s father, who is & farmer living near Commerce, is very much opposed to his daugh ter being a pilot, Miss Gipson came to Georgia a few weekg ago and while flying in the direction of Athens she had to make a forc ed landing. It was all caused when trouble developed in a gasoline line on the plane and a quick land ing was the last hope. ‘Miss Gipson sighted a. cotton field that seemed almost level. She brought the plane down and creat ed much excitement when a loud noise was caused, due to stalks of cotton in the field being knocked down. When she climbed out of the plane she noticed with excitement that she had landed on her fath er's form and he was coming in the direction of the plane armed with an ax. Mr. Gipson intensely dislikes planes, but he did not use the ax, the aviator said. After repairs had been made everything was safe and the flight was re sumed.

Stripped of his several high of fices by President Roosevelt's di rection and his own resignation, Peek asserted that America’s share of world commerce had tallen from 13.8 to 9.5 per cent. He called for abandonment of the administration effort to promote trade by the réciprocal tariff concession method.; In return for reductions in Cana-“ dian tariffs, he said, the United States has lowered its own ratee,’ not for Canada alone but for any' country having a most-favorsd-na tion. treaty which wishes to take advantage of the reduced duties, the whole obscured by ‘“‘trick class ifications” employment of quotas ~and “escape clauses.” Te told reporters in an inter view which supplemented a part ing memorandum to the president, that he was ‘“going to stay right here in Washington and fight fx out on this line, if it takes all winter.” Peek’s idea is that through the operation of the “most favored na tion tariff policy” a general re duction in tariffs ig Involved tn (Continued on Page Six) Another Shot in War Against ‘TB’ --Buy Your Christmas Seals Today On page ? you will see a picture of Nurse Rosa Lee Brown at work.
