TO LIGHT BUBAL HOMES If the plans of Governor Ehring haus’ newly appointed Rural Electri fication Committee are carried rat, a great many farm homes in practical ly every county of the State will soon been joying the use of electric service for lights, irons, motors, etc.'.' J According to David &. Weaver, ag ricultural engineer of State College, who has been selected by the Com mittee to make a survey of the State, there is a possibility of extending a great many electric lines in the very near future. ■ Financial assistance through Mrs. Thomas O’Berry, State Belief Administrator is expected. Local groups of farmers interested in securing this service should get to geher and send Mr. Weaver the fol lowing information: t (1) The number of farmers who-will actually connect to the proposed line at once. . ;"-r ■ (2) The number of farmers on the proposed’ line who would probably 'Connect later. ’ 1 (8) The number of filling stations,' / ■•churches, Schools, gtns, etc., along the . proposed line. . (4) 1 The approximate length in : miles the line would haVe to be to Serve above users. j (5) Can the "right of way" be se cured without cost T i >: (6) determine just what the group, I as a whole, will do in the way of do nating poles, labor and cadi. t f iy what Bge 0f current, other than lighting would be made by the ns-, jority of farms, such as irons, wash ing machines, ranges, refrigerators. motors, etc. UNDER THE JBIG WiirTE DOMF I 'r J '* YOUNG BLOOD * . > Rexford Tugwell may head' the • "brain trust” or his claim that there ho such trust may be true. Bqt Tug j wiell is. a young man with a lot of brains, and he thinks deeply, and his desire to improve the condition of his Government has turned him into a sort of crusader. "Young Blood” [seems to have a good effect on all * these old politicians that one finds around Washington. Naturally the Senate ratified the appointment of TugwelL i I Unde Sam Owes the Motorists. Unde Sam owes the motorists of America more than $324,000,000 and ; is getting deeper into debt to them every passing month! He has spent $1,522^2,051 on highways in the past 16 years, but has collected in fed eral taxes from motorists $324,431,121 more than expended, or $1,847,303, 170. a Nearly one-fourth of these revenues has been collected, through federal taxes upon gasoline in the last two fiscal years of the U. S. Government. In the last 16 years of federal taxa-1 tion of motorists, as revealed by data, of j the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads and reports of the U. S, Commission-' er of Internal Revenue, the petroleum industry's operations and products yielded virtually one-third of all re value collected. | Federal gasoline taxes, in two years; amounted to $460,857,270, which is twice the income from any other! source, with one exception, for the en- j tire 16 years. The exception is The tax j on motor cars and cycles, which prd-; duced $856,572,608 revalue in 16, years. However, it yielded only about1 $25,000,000 in the. last two years, a period in which the federal gasoline tax produced $460,857,270. The larg-j est yield from federal taxes on cars' and cycles was in 1926, yet the total, that year, $113,133,246, was substan tially below the $124,232,925 revenue obtained in the first year of federal | taxation of gasoline. . * An interesting disclosure m the data tbtained from the Bureau and the' Commissioner by the National High way Users Conference is seen in the tact that -while 4400,000,000 was ap propriated to the states for highways under the National Industrial Reoov ery Act, only 4«u,&ou,72i> actually Has been paid to the states. The balance j has been “apportioned, but not paid.”; Another interesting disclosure is seen: in the figures indicating that while the federal government reputedly has been magnanimous in its expenditures upon federal aid highways, the total of federal aid grants for roads since 1918 have been less than half the amount paid by motorists for roads, through gasoline taxes, since 1919. Total federal aid expenditures have been $1,221,322,433. State gasoline tax collections alone have exceeded $.% 500,000,000, and the payment of fed | eral taxes upon gasoline have lifted j that total nearly to $4,000,000,000. Aluminum Leads the Way. & older America iron was used in all kinds of building construction and it was the king pin among metals. Then came steel and the engineers Were very skeptical about it for a time, hut now bridges and buildings are built and supported by it. Perhaps the most surprising ad i vance made by any of the metals has , been scored by aluminum which is now generally accepted on account of its ' strength and lightness. Its high heal ' lar favor for cylinder heads, pistons connecting rods, bearings and other parts of automobiles and the Bohr Aluminum and Brass Corporation has one of the most interesting factories in Detroit. The great mass of automo bile owners have reason to appreciate the value of aluminum products be cause they save from fwo to three | miles per gallon of gasoline. In this ^ day and age of efficiency that counts. [ “A Bwe By A»y Name.” Roosevelt, the First, was a trust boater. When Herbert Hoover was l Food Administrator daring the War. and afterwards Secretary of Com merce, lie pushed the idea of organiz ing industries and he went the limit 'in encouraging and strengthening trade associations. The result was that he was accused with being the champion of tug business monopolies, and a dyed-in-the-wool conservative. Hie Federal Trade Commission fought Us plans for business associations and self-governed industries, such as we have today. A* President, conservative Hoover continued to organize indus try and agriculture, and for that pur pose he secured legislation t^ loan Federal money to farmers, home-own ers and railroads and to strengthen the "kitty” in State finances, Roosevelt, the President, resolves the whole economic strudture of the Nation into the giant NRA trust and indicates that he is emulating his pro gressive namesake, and predecessor who was President “b. w.”:—before the way. He uses ail the Hoover blue prints M patterns for his skyscraper trusts. ■„ . Hie only leaders in Congress Who hold back on the new deal Are the conservatives — maybe they think Roosevelt is too . conservative. . Hie “progressives” of both the old parties are enthusiastically supporting the President—perhaps because they have taken a tumble to themselves and din-. *4-- .~ covered that Hoover conservatism plus Roosevelt wings to Wake flying easier, is real progressive stuff.1 Conservative? Progressive? Or I* it the same old rose ? .You can name it! Making Children Happy. The editor of a seaside newspaper suggests that the heights of happiness are about to be realised at the "ole swimming hole.” He must be past mid die age, because he says that if the weather is a little bit cool that older folks should stand back and let chil dren have the first plunge. It’s nice to take children to picnics and to [the circus—grand o]d alibis that still sound reasonable. Recently 500,000 children went to the World’s Fair in Chicago-roh girls what a day it turned out to‘be. Now the children may all go to At lantic City as guests. All they have to with their parents is to bring them along1 and let them pay their own way, but that isn’t difficult in the New Jersey resort where rates are reasonable. Children’s Week will be observed June SO to July 8, inclusive, whan boys ands girl everywhere, un conductivity has- brought it into popu der twelve, accompanied by as adult member of their family and registered at a co-operatinb hotel, are invited to be gussts of Atlantic City. Hotels, restaurants, entertainments, piers, sail boats, rolling chairs, swim ming pools and. many other delightful opportunities for comfort, pleasure and enjoyment become part of the hospitality to be extended to the little guests. «__ It avail be a magic week, never to be forgotten—fun a-plenty and health ful benefits, too! . . . bettor than Alice in Wonderland and Arabian Nights combined—or at least much more real. It is planned that authors of favor ite juvenile books, illustrators, "funny paper” artists, juvenile movie stars, creators of animated cartoons, and the radio favorites of thh children will be on hand to greet them. There will be beach games and supervised ocean bathiny, special musical features, a Fourth of July parade, church day, fireworks display, sailing trips and ever so many things to make it' the finest kind of party for all little folks; and older folks as well. Children’s Week Committee in the Administra tion braiding at Atlantic City is ar ranging ail the preliminaries, v f REFINANCING FARM DEBTS Under the direction of the North Carolina Farm Dept Adjustment Commission a corps of five 'workers will be organized in each county at once to effect agreements between farmers and their creditors thereby clearing the way for refinancing farm debts through the Federal Land Bank of Columbia and relieving a sit nation that heavily oppresses many farmers of this state. . I .. The commission named by Uoveor nor J. C. B. Ehringhaus to head up the work in tills ntate is familiar with' the plight of the mortgaged burdened fanner and of his creditor, j lionet Weil, of Greensboro, elected - j chairman at its initial meeting, is a farmer and a merchant. Former Lt. Gov. R. A. Dough ton, of Sparta, Vice j chairman, is a lawyer and farmer. ;Oher members of he commission are J. L. Skinner of littleton .president of the County Commissioners Associ-1 :ation; Hillard F. Jones, of Rocky Mount, president of the State Bank ers Association; H. A. Millie, of , High Point, manufacturer; Julian , Price, of Greensboro, insurance com pany executive; M. O. Blount, of ,Method, and J. Allen Thylor, of Wil-'. mington. I Dr. G. W, Forster State College' Agricultural^ " Economist, has been named aa secretary of .the eommis-1 - sion. He will begin at once to as semble the corps of workers needed) , for each county to cany on the work These workers will be asked to serve .without pay in bringing together; debtors and creditors. |. Since Federal Land Bank loans are made for only 50 per cent of tbe ap-1 praised value of farmp and loans of the land bank commissioner for only 75 per cent, there are many instances | where these loans cannot be large enough to retire all outstanding mort gages. The workers will seek to se cure agreement between debtor and! creditors that wilt enable farmers to retire mortgages with the amount of . the loan. j Benefits expected to accrue from the adjustment of form debts are: - (1) The retention of their land by the presort owners; (2) the. mainten ance of good family life; (3)putting of money into circulation in the state and (4) creation of a better spirit between creditor and debtor: classes, j A state wide campaign trill be conducted to acquaint the farmers and* their creditors with the purposes and benefits , of the debt adjustment plan. ‘ ■ According to W. Kerr Scott, form-' *t Master of thfl State Grange and now a representative of the Farm Credit Administration, who is develop' ing the work of the debt adjustment commissions, aronnd 20 to 30 per cent of the total outstanding mortgage in debtedness in North Carolina is sub-', ject to work of the Farm Debt Adjust ment commission. j FEDERAL LAND BANK *. f BONDS TO BE RETIRED The Federal* Land Bank of" Colum-. da, has been advised by Governor W.! I Myers, of the aFrm Credit Associ vfvf . >■$;! 4 iT • *'-J ‘ ation, hat plans have been completed by the twelve Federal Land Banks of the country for providing funds fo* the retirement of (approximately . $191,381,000 of Federal , land ' bank bands representing all the outstand ing issues bearing-4 3-4 per cent in terest. These bonds havee been call ed for payment July 1. A group headed by Alex, Brown & Sons, of Baltimore, composed of the following managers, will shortly offer on the part of the Federal land bank bonds bearing 4 per cent interest; Alex. Brown A Sons; the Chase Na tional Bank of the City of New York; Brown, Harriman & Co. Inc.; Guaran ty Trust Co., of New York; the Na tional City Bank of New York; Ed- ; ward B. Smith £ Company; the First : Boston Corporation and Lee Higgin- , sonn Corporation. The new bonds which will be offer- , ed at a premium will mature in 12 years, will be callable after ten ] years and will carry the same tax ■ exemptions as the called bonds. i According to Governor Myers the ( refunding of the outstanding 4 3-4 , per cent individual land bank bonds ] iritha consolidated 4 per cent issue , will effect an interest saving of$985,- < 500 a year. He also states that the ( banking group in charge of the sale »f the new issue will give preference, ( so far as practicable, in the alllott- i ment of the new bonds to holders'of j the called issue who give notice be- i fere the closing of the subscription , books of their desire to tender their i bonds towhrd payment of the sub- ( scription price of the new issue. i The issues that have been called < tor redemption July J.

Knudsen’sdesire to pos sess a phenomenally;, powerful but : compact engine for a small racing ' boat resulted in the discovery of new principles of„ combustion control that are now reflected in improved auto- ' mobile performance-fias been taidfin ttujr uy aica .Aiibciucut'Hiauy known as an authority on internal combustion engines.| He related the story at Detroit recently in an ad- 1 dress outlining 1934 (automotive deve lopments, as an illustration of how engineers meet demands for die seem ingly imposgiile. ' “In 1931,” said Mr; tub a mem ber of the Chevrolet; experimental en- > fingering staff, "William S. Knudsen, then presidentoof Chevrolet, requested^ the engineering department to design! an engine of only 150 cubic inches that j would develop 85 horsepower, for in-, staliatioh In a 17-foot racing boat. I rhe order was a tall one, since at that time the standard- Chevrolet en gine was of 194 cubic inches dis-^ plcement and delivered 66 horsepower, ro obtain 54 per cent more horse power with 29 per cent Jess displace^ nent looked like an almost impossible , ’ ‘ f “However, Mr. Knudsen' insisted that nothing but an engine .designed >y his own engineering staff Would iuit him, but he added one of his char icteristic remarks: "You fellows go', ahead, and remember that you are ; tealing with a man who is accccsomcd; » disappointments. Do what yoi an.’ ' - “We g' t busy seeking to find out u.-w we eon’d get what Mr Knudsen ranted, and out of our efforts came a j tew principle oi cylinder-head design | ind fuel con ! uttion control. Instead ,1 85 horsepower requested, 88 nreso-! tower was oblpined. Basel on its ubic inch displacement that litt1- mo or was tho equal of any non-super harged aveatioa i-n=i;ie ,n u'c today, “These results were so gratifying hat we immediately planned to adopt j he new principles for Chevrolet on-; pnes. Having discovered a principle hat would give 88 horsepower with ’ nly 150 cubic inches displacement, it ras comparatively easy for us to ob-j sin 80 horseepower with 206 cubic Hcuca, uiuii la, wuu umjr ±£, muies au itional displasement, we Rained 25 lore horsepower. This—engine, ihich we called the bine flame- engine ecause of the characteristics of its uel combustion—was introduced with ur 1934 models. Yet, in thei&ll of .932, when dealers came to -the proV ng ground to have their first look at he 1933 cars, a Chevrolet ’ with this ilue flame engine was chasing around he track at 80 miles an hour. We lad-the job ready then, but nobody >utside our own organization knew itL ; re were ready a year ahead of time— tnd that is an illustration of what wo all ‘long distance’ engineering. “In our present engine we have !3 per cent .more power and ,12 per ient better economy at touring speeds, through new principles in clyinder lead design possible only with ove lead valves. This power plant, how ever is by no means the limit of hj* noto’r of its type—because this con struction has given us a hew concept jf.what can be done with a valve-iri lead engine. "Long 'distance engineering is one >f our fixed principles. We design >ur engines far enough ahead so that !re always.have next year’s engine ready to go.’ We know now what we ire going to do in 1936; we must !cnow, to be certain we are rigtit when the time comes.’’ JOSEPH J.
