CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
BIG SUCCESS
The Christmas program given at
Patton's Chapel Christmas Eve was
a big ! success. Everybody enjoyed
the play, entitled "Night Before
Christmas." The old Negro mammy,
which was played by Roger Wells,
was comical all the way through.
"Papa" and "mama", played by
Erwin Patton and Lois Wells, was
acted especially good. Last but not
least, was the good things Santa
Claus handed around off the
Christmas tree. We wish Christmas
would come every day if its like
this.
The Rev. A. S. Solesbee spent
Christmas with his daughter and

Will Be Carried Out
- - m-i j juia wuiaivcrs
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. '-The
75th Congress, which has just be
gun its first session, has plenty of
real work ahead for it. Like its
two predecessors it will take its
guidance from the White House.
There will be much talk about
"Congressional independence' but
it is a safe assumption that no
measures of vital importance will
be initiated or enacted by Congress
without the approval of the Ad
ministration. Also, most of the new
legislation will be on the initiative
of the President. ,
That is quite natural, since the
only pattern or-plan for the future
is in the President's keeping. And
while the plan is' not yet fully dis
closed, the general , understanding
here is that it will move along sub
stantially the same lines as during
the past four years. Probably few
er new ideas will be pot into law.
Attention no doubt will be chiefly
centered on consolidating the
changes already made and revising
the enactments of the past two
Congresses tojnake the laws more
workable. i I ' J
The Big Job Ahead
One of the important iobs to be
done is the reorganization of the
hxectitive bureaus and departments.
Alrtfclst every President has tried to
do tfns, but their efforts have been
generally blocked by Congress.
Just before President: Hoover
went out of office he said that
either "Congress must keep its
hands off now, or they must give
to my successor much larger pow
ers, of independent action than have
been given to any President." The
response of Congress was to enact
a law, before Mr. Roosevelt's in
auguration, vesting in the President
broad and sweeping authority to
consolidate, eliminate and rearrange
executive bureaus. .
Last March the President named
a committee to study and report
to him which of the new agencies
should be scrapped or reduced and
how the survivors could be con
solidated. Committees of the House
and Senate also began to study the
subject. The outlook now is for a
pretty general rearrangement of
governmental departments, with
greater efficiency and simplification
as the main objective.
The main obstacle, to a logical
regrouping , of administrative func
tions may be found in Congress it
self, for the element of' political
patronage cannot be overlooked.
Moreover, most of the government
departments and bureaus have well-
organized methods of putting
"pressure" on Congress to increase,
rather than cut down, their powers
and perquisites.
Mr. Roosevelt stands a better
chance of getting Congressional j
support in the face of these power
ful "pressure gblocs'! than any pre
vious PresidetyT had.
Snuff Boxes Filled
Preparations for the opening of
Congress were completed by the
filling of the two snuff-boxes'which
stand on either side of the door to
the Senate Chamber. This is an
ancient custom, dating from George
Washington's time. There are still
four or five Senators who are regu
lar snuff-takers, and many more
who take an occasional pinch from
the Senatorial snuff-boxes, on the
theory that a good sneeze helps to
ward off an impending cold and
clears the Senatorial head for de
bate. The "baby" of the Senate, 30-
year-old Rush D. Holt of West
Virginia, is being disciplined by his
elder colleagues for the insurgency
which he displayed last year. Mr.
Holt was outspoken in his criticism
of Harry Hopkins, Federal Relief
Administrator, and during the po
litical campaign he also opposed the
re-election of Senator M. M. Neel-
ey, his Democratic colleague from
West Virginia. '
Mr. Holt has now been formally
notified . by the chairman of the
Senate patronage committee, .Sena
tor Hayden, that he will not be
allowed to name atlv persons for
jobs in the Capitol.

is no secret that Arthur W. Mor
gan, T. V. A. administrator, and his
assistant, David Lillienthal, are at
swords' points.
. Their differences arc on funda
mental issues of policy. Dr. Morgan
wants to carry out the Tennessee
Valley improvements, along sound
engineering lines and sell the pow
er developed to power companies
for distribution.
Mr. Lillienthal would encourage
and aid the establishment of publicly-owned
distribution systems, to
put the power companies out of
business.
President Roosevelt arranged a
truce between the two points of
view at a White House conference
last Fall, but it now seems that he
will be forced to take sides with
either Mr. Morgan or Mr. Lillien
thal. The President's decision will
no doubt give a key to the Admin
istration's attitude toward public
utilities.
For a hundred years or so there
has been much talk of limiting
Presidents to a single tewn, but
making it longer. Talk of that sort
has been revived, and Representa
tive George H. Tinkham, the be-
whiskered Congressman from Bos
ton, has a joint resolution ready
to submit for a Constitutional
amendment fixing the Presidential
term at six "years and no re-election.
While the general idea is favored
by many members of both Houses,
it would stand a better chance of
serious consideration, no doubt, if
it came from a Democratic member
instead of a Republican.

Specialists Advise
Scientific Methods
Another year with its uncertain
welter of fortune or misfortune has
been ushered in for North Carolina
farmers..
-The New Year is a good time to
begin applying more scientific prac
tices to farms, say specialists at
State college. The use of the . lat
est approved practices will result
in better yields in the case of crops
and in better animals and birds in
the case of livestock and poultry.
Practically every subject pertain
ing to the farm and to the home
will be given a thorough discussion
on the Carolina Farm Features
program during the next few
weeks. In these talks specialists
will point out the proper way of
starting in 1937 on the right foot.
The animal husbandry program
is presented each Monday and
contains news and information for
livestock growers. Each Friday is
set aside for the poultry depart
ment to give advice to those who
raise birds. The home demonstra
tion department takes charge of
the program each Thursday and
brings advice and help to farm
women. The horticulture and botany
departments alternate on- Tues
days ; the zoology and rural eco
nomics departments on Wednes
days ; and the forestry and agro
nomy departments on Saturdays.
The schedule in full for the
week of January 4-9 follows : Mon
