Bailey, Representative Jlaywood Lour-'y, Raleigh, N. O. Dear Representative: At a regular meeting of this f ost hvld March 4th, the members thor oughly discussed Superintendent Er win's educational program wherein b requests $22,000,000 for the schools in K'nrth Carolina, and pledged their full support thereton and authorized the undersigned to convey to you their views on the matter. This organization has one hundred ten members who are residents oi thrpp townshiDs in this county, and we are one hundred per cent opposed to the cut of $oyt,i3o irom tne pro nnsp.l annronriation. We under stand that to be the tentative recom mendation of the investigating com mittee, and feel that any slicing o. tha rpnupfitpii annroDriation would be detrimental to the cause of education and that it should be accorded no to. erance whatever. Wo hplipvo that our legislators are men who are capable of weighing the merits of the situation and' want to do the right thing about it, but there are influences which would allow stones of investigations to be left un turned, therpby resulting in unwise and unfair leeislation under the t:s- guise of economy. Such eccomy as cuts in the school budget is f lse and savoy-s of no measure ot equity. Sacrifices, if nectarv, outrht tc be made in other things less e-s itial, in -rder that the education ot ou. people might not on'-r thrive, but hav the very best that we ca:. af fore The amount asked for by r. kr- win repreen s a mm'niuni, yet scant- ly safe financial outlay fo-- the de cent and oraerly condn-t ot educa- tinnal in sit i t it twins, jinil if er,j ted. would allow instruction to be carried) nn Trt Bn -h a manner as would nro- duce hfppy-minded teachers and pu pils by providing lor r.em trainings i o necessary and vital in tneir euu ational endeavor. : We ha.e been informed or good au- tl.O"ity that some of the schnls, un der present conditions, io net alway hnvp snfficipnt fufe. knd sanitarv suo- plies to make the personnel comfo,- able, i'hii condition is deplorable.

Music and Vo cational Training, uasi, out in least, the meagre salaries of teachers, nrinpinnln and other officials are hot oiiffvMPnt.. in these times, to afford them the necessities of life. It would follow that competent educators are cppirincr and Till continue to seek more remunerative employment, if this situation is not corrected. Thrp is hut one remedv for these distressing conditions, and that is the full and complete support oi m en tirp loffiolnti-p nrnirranl for the school budget as outlined by Sjper intendent Erwin. We members of Varner-Rhinehart Post No. 61 of the American Legion in the Department of North Carolina intend to give this matter oi wurae ina tno philrlrpn in this state our staunch support, and we urge you, Mr. Rpnrespntative. to suDDort this: mat ter and the matter of local autonomy to your utmost ability, not only vot ing for them, but using your good m fluence to the end that favorable leg TclfltTnri in their behalf may be over rtpH Kv- (loini? so, wc orp euro that, we shall all find deep satisfaction in believing that we have done the right thing.

Less Than Third Of Haywood Babies Are Now Registered North Carolina parents are classed as "fair" in their response to the ap peal of the Bureau of the Census, the State Boa-i of Health and the State ERA for a complete registration of babies born in the state during the past year, Dr. John H. Hamilton, di r ctor of the Division of Vital Statis tics, is informed. North Carolinians had reported ap proximately one-third of the number of births recorded for 133 on the little cards sent out from Washington up to the eno of last week. Recorded births in 1933. reached 75,122 and al ready in 1934 the number has reached 79,350, by which Dr. Hamilton es timates that complete recording will show at least 80,000 births last year. Haywood county parents have re ported in the present "Register Your Baby" campaign the births of 212 children during the past year, or 292 per cent of the 727 actually recorded births for the year 19-'-'3, up to last week, as .-ompared with about 33 per cent for the state, Dr. Hamilton said. This indicates that fully 50,000 parents in North Carolina have had children born to them daring tjie past year who have not tilled in the buff-colored cards distributed by the Postofiice Departmen' to them from the postofiice from which they receive their mail, said Dr. Hamilton. The children who have thus been slighted may have occasion many timi-.s in the future to condemn the parental neglect tht vital statistics man said. The campaign is about to end, but there is ye' time for parents to se cure these cards from 'he nearest pcstcice. the State Board of Health or from the field or case workers for the relief organization, if ,tl..y have misplaced those received earlier, and get -hem to Washington in time to be counted nd checked at the State Board of Heal'h in Raieigh.
