THE DAINBURY KEPORTER. Established 1872. RELIEF BILL AS IT IS NOW SENATOR REYNOLDS E \ PLAINS THE STATUS OF ACi OVER WHICH CONGRESS WRESTLES—SENTIMENT OF COUNTRY DESIRED BY CON GRESS. R.gardless of the final amount of the iclief bill now pending in, i Congress, and regardless of the method finally approved for the distribution of relief •. funds, the current legislative battles over this measure are cer tain to influence virtually all leg-1 islation during the present ses sion of Congress. Thus an under standing of the basic issues in! these battles in the House and! Senate are desirable for those j following the course of this and other legislation. At the outset, the President re commended a total of $1,500,00V -000 for various relief activities. This amount was promptly challenged Some members of the Congress favored doubling that amount and others sought a drastic slash. Therefore, the early stages of the controversy over the relief bill was marked by differences of opinion between those seeking larger relief funds and those advocating strict econ omy and a balanced budget. As the measure finally emerg ed from the House Committee, it carried the full amount recom mended by the President, and re presented a compromise in the House between advocates of spending and those seekirT drastic slashes in relief funds. It is significant that strong supporters of the President are, found enlisted with both groups. ' However, when the bill reach- j ed the floor of the Kouse, consj.d- j err bio s-n'.intent was found for ear marking large sums, that is. writing i»to the bill Congressio nal decree as to how certain monbs are to be expended. It' was promptly contended that j this would defeat the purpose of the relief bill by rendering it possible for tho9o administering relief to meet new emergencies ss they may come. An intensive' battle over this issue is in prog- 1 ' ress in the House as this article' is being written. tye*ortheless, the significance of th? controversy c an bo irrasp ed. It toils down t 0 an oft-re peated question. Do the groat majority of our people want more relief and the prospect of more taxes, or d 0 they want a real beginning toward economy? After all, only voters and tax payers should decide that quest ion and the Congress is anxious , for the decision. Of course, it is comparatively easy to find the sentiment of, particular sections of the country and particular states. ! But what is needed is facts as to what procedure is best for our ns a whole. It lg differ ences of opinion on that score Volume 66 A. J. GIBSON DIES SUDDENLY ■ FATHER OF COUNTY COM MISSIONER 11. L. GIBSON • EXPIRES WITH HEART AT-j TACK AT PiNE IIALL. Andrew J. Gibson, 86 years of age, and a prominent citizen of Pine Hall section, died sudden ly with a heart attack Sunday at at his home near Pine Hall. • He was the father of County Commissioner H. L. Gibson, and is survived by other relatives, as follows: Messrs W. H., H. D. and I A. L Gibson of High Point; J T. Gibson of Pine Hall; S. R. Gib-j ! son of Sandy Ridge; R. J. Gib-; son of Maneto; J. O. Gibson of' Winston-Salem; Mrs. J. T. Carter j ! of Belews Creek; Miss Cladie Gib- j j son and Mrs. M. D. Webb of j Pine Hall; Mrs. Jack Sharp and i Mrs. S. L. Middleton of Winston- Salem. : Rev. T. J. Houck and Rev. Hauser conducted the funeral services Tuesday morning at Eden M. E. church. Interment was it the church cemeter". The deceased was a splendid Christian gentlemen ant' will be misled in his section of the county. He was a member of the Pine Hall M. E. church for more tl'an hn'f o century. Q n. , Club Organized i On account of the secondaiy Danbury team's unbroken safes of v'ctorics, nad because its con tinued run cf success offers a serious menace to all baseball teams of the county, it was thought advisable to organize the Seven Island team as a check mate to the ambitions of the Dn n - I bury players, who have become I supercilious and arrogant, tl.ink j ing themselves invincible. Accordingly, the Seven Island team, all of whom are star play ers, has been set up as follows: Manager—Jasper Bowman. ! Pitcher—Mick East. Catcher—Morris Thornton. I First Base—Cray Tilley. ! Second Ease—Jim Manuel. | Third Base—Joe Henry Bullen. j Right Field—John Jackson. I Center Field—Morris Yarbro. j Left Field—Bill Mounce. Short Stop—Charley Cromer, j Umpire—Sanders Mabe. that underlines the current legis lative skirmishes. One of the most hopeful is the fact that increasing ex penditures require increasing re venue. We cannot spenj and economize a' f he same time. We can not build largo public works! in one section of the country and j i i . tell another section that fun eta are not available for their publ'c i •works. And, as the Congress i tries t 0 strike a happy medium as summer approaches in Wash ington, and members of Cong ress dig in for another three • 'months of sessions, it is apparent that final action on the relief bill may offer a key to the whole: i , legislative situation, jßy SENATOR R.
