An economy - minded Senate
Appropriations Committee Tues
day slashed $21,502,669 from the
biennial appropriations measure.
The biggest cut was suffered
by the public school budget,
which the committee voted to
reduce by $20,972,246. This left
the two-year school budget at
about $173,000,000 — some $5,
000,000 more than was recom
mended by the Advisory Budget
Commission.
As the bill passed the House
last week, it called for spending
about $417,000,000 during the
next biennium, about $37,000,000
more than anticipated revenues.
The House voted that the State’s
$30,000,000 postwar reserve fund
should be used to balance the
budget.
Other cuts were: $500,000 from
the State Board of Health; $4b,
882 from the adjutant general;
$9,000 from the State Recreation
Commission: $200,000 from the

how to get little Kafny out of the well.

people in al1 of the 4 3 stater . . people in New York and

Again on Monday The Journol was ahead of the field. Utilizing the wire services of The
Associated Press and the United Press, and agoin mck'ng arrangements for special photo
graphic service, The Journol presented the rrv'st thorough coverage of the final 24 hours
of the San Marino story. Monday's Journal had the most complete wood coverage of the
San Marino story . . . and The Journal was the oniy newspaper in North Carolina with
Monday morning pictures of Sunday's rescue operation.
The story of little Kathy had a sad ending. The members of The Journol staff had shared with thou
sands of other people the hope that the story might have a happy ending.
But whatever the story . . . whether it be the story of little Kathy or the story of the United Nations
. . . or the Sugar Bowl football game or a New York fashion show ... or a fire in Winston-Salem or a
war in China 7 . . the staff of The Winston-Salem Journal will be at work, sparing no effort to make
their coverage the best.
