Ask Highway Men
Before Building
Close to Highway
Raleigh.—The State Highway
and Public Works Commission is
making an effort to anticipate the
expense and trouble of clearing
highway rights of way by asking
prospective builders to consult
highway engineers before erect
ing any structures adjacejnt to
the highway system. Chairman
A. H. Graham said today.
An extensive highway program,
including the construction of new
state and county roads, as well
as the widening and improvement
of existing roads, will be started
i('n the near future, he pointed out.
The highway program, he feels.

will be matched by corporations
and other private concerns who i
are planning to build plants, util-'
Ities and other buildings along
the highways.
The highway system’s right-of-
way is designed to give highway
users sufficient sight distance to
provide maximum safety, Gra
ham said. This Is particularly true
at intersectltSis of highways
at points where county roads en
ter the state highway system.
If the right-of-way has to be
cleared, it Involves expense that
otherwise could toe used In Im
proving the road system, for
money expended to clear a right-
of-way reduces the actual amount
than can be spent for highway
construction.
Chairman Graham does ■ not
think that builders would ob
struct the right-of-way arblrtrar-
ily. However, confusion some
times arises in cases where the
extent of the right-of-way is un
certain.
Thus, he said, the commission
is asking that a highway eiigin-
I eer or other responsible official
be consulted by builders before
they begin construction of build-
I ings adjacent to the highway sys-
■ tern. In this way, the proposed
structures can he placed where
no traffic hazard is created.
Prompt and courteous attention
■IS promised in each instance
where prior notice is given of the
rioniieii ei'eelioii of a building or
utility near the highway system.

natural resources. The Soviet gov
ernment. importing from the Uni
ted States modern farming im
plements and dairying equipment,
worked hand in hand with Over-
ton’s drive. Farmers started till
ing the acres of neglected farm
land, rich land compared by Ov-'
erton to that of the United States

was added to the scant inches of
rich top soil, either by chemical
means or rotation of crops. Cross

Congressional
Leaders Unite
On Legislation
Washington. — Almost com
plete agreement on legislation to
carry out President Truman’s
vast homes-for-veterans program
was reached yesterday by House
Democratic and Republican lead
ers.
After Housing Administrator
William W. Wyatt gave notice
that the executive agencies are
restoring almost a wartime sys
tem of controls in the housing In
dustry, the legislators decided to
unite in pushing a bill which
would;
Provide $600,000,000 in sub
sidy payments to encourage high
er output of scare building mate
rials.
Extend for a year beyond June
30 the government’s power to al
locate and grant priorities of
building materials.
Give veterans preference in ob
taining the proposed 2,700,000
new homes in two years.
Balk At Price Celling
The Republicans balked, how
ever, at the Truman-Wyatt plan
to put price ceilings on the exist
ing 40,000,000 dwellings^ leav
ing this issue to be fought out on
the House floor. The measure is
to reach the floor next week.
The agreement came at a con
ference of Wyatt with Chairman
Spence (D-Ky) of the House
Banking Committee; Rep. Wol
cott, Mich., senior committee Re
publican, and Rep. Patman (D-
Texas), author of the Emergency
Housing bill which the commit
tee watered down and approved
last week. The bill will come out
as then approved, but the com
mittee group will jointly offer
amendments on the newly agreed
points.
TCf want ol jurisdiction, the
banking group referred ta other
committees Mr. Truman’s request
for $250,000,000 for govern
ment-built housing and for leg
islation of new private plants
built to provide materials or fin
ished houaea.
Earlier In the day Wyatt an
nounced that the government will
sharpen Its priority program so
that most of the scarce materials
set aside for residences will go
into homes costing $6,000 or less
and renting for $50 and under.
The present regulation gives
priority to builders of homes up
to $10,000—too btgh, Wyatt
/said, to meet the needs it most
veterans.

Change In Army
Reenuting Date
Lt. Lindsay, commander of the
U. S. Army Recruiting Station In
Lenoir, announced recently sev
eral mew changes fri the policy of
the recruiting service. Heretofore
it was necessary for men to come
to the Lenoir station by normal
transportation. Now, under the
new policy, if the men interested
In enlisting l^i the regular army
will Mntact the recruiting station
by mail, phone, or in person,
transportation will be fuiyiished
for those who are on the main
roads.
At the same time Lt. Lindsay
also annonneed a new change in
the deadline for former service
men to re-enlist and retain their
grades. - Formerly any m^ had
to re-enlist within 20 days, but
the time has been extended to 90
days, and the deadline for this is
June 30, 1946. Now any veteran
of World War II has 90 days In
which to look around and decide
just what he would rather do—
hold down a good job in the army
or take the chances of civilian SUPPORT THE T. M. C.
life.
The regular army offers much
to men who efillat: Education, as
much as a full oollege education,
travel—a man enlisting can
choose the theatre in which he
wishes to serve; a career—the
beet that is offered hy any em
ployer, for it offers a retirement
after twenty years for the rest of
your life.
If .there are any questions con
cerning the regular army, the
lieutenant said, he urged those
Interested to get in touch with
him in Lenoir.

GOVERNMENT SPENDING
Continued huge government spending
means cuiitiiiiied high taxes. High
taxes diseourage produetion. hinder
the creation of jobs, and leave you
less to spend.
ISN'T THIS THE WAY?
The people, through Congress, caa
remove these roatlblocks in the long-
range interests of all...
By establishing a labor policy that
will treat labor and management
exactly alike, and aliove all be fair to
the public;
By removing the shackles of prioa

By cutting down on government
spending now and balancing the
Federal budget by the 1947 fiscal year
