Scott (Continued from Pare 1) alized states are dead rivers today as consequence of dependence on the private corporation to protect them while in competitive pursuit of dividends. : "At this time when great indus tries are turning more and more to the waterways of this state for lo cation of plants, I recommend that we adopt a water-use policy with a view to being hospitable to such enterprise, but also to protecting all the people's interest 'n these streams." ; Referring to the matter of multi purpose dams, he explained he re garded the electric power from them as "little more than a rich b-product." The governor declared he was in favor of that product being market ed not by the government Inn by private utilities, municipal corpora tions, and rural electric coopera- . tives. . . , "I see no inconsistency," hi said elsewhere in his address, "in de pending upon private enterprise for its mighty contribution to our economy, and at the same time ask ing that North Carolina be given 'even-handed treatment in the high ly significant river basin develop ment plans that are being financed by the Federal Government." . Elsewhere in his address, he de fended his administration against criticism of excessive spending by pointing out that the road bond debt burden, for instance, h "less than I conservatively estimated for ;the people that it would be." , He reported that the income 'from the one-cent-per-gallon gas tax reached $8.5 millions the first : of equalizing health v 1 1 V- p n A. 1 j - i I i i 1 -.n These members of the Aliens Creek Community Development Frtttsram visiting committee spnt the afternoon of Christmas Eve delivering baskets to 40 families in their community, The Aliens Creek people raised SUO to make sure their less fortunate neighbors had a really Merry Christmas.

J Discussing the state's progress, item by Item, and phase by phase, Jhe reported on advances made, .what the needs were, and what he recommended in new legislation or revision of existing legislation to meet these needs. ; CIVIL DEFENSE , To continue our present program and achieve effective civil defense will require legislation. The legis lation needed has been drafted by the State Civil Defense Council. 1 urge you (the Legislature) to ive it immediate consideration. ; ROADS The State Highway Commission has completed slightly more than 45 per cent of the $200 million dol lar secondary road paving program The remainder of the program plus extensive stabilization mileage should be completed within the next two years unless work is in terrupted ... The per-mile cost ... has been considerably under original estim ates . . . Looking to the future, ... in the interest of safety and convenience, We must think In terms of heavy- traffic highways, by-passes, under passes, overpasses, and other ex pensive items of highway construc tion ... .- u we nave new road needs, we must make new provisions for fin ancing them I say this in connection with the report submitted by the State Municipal Roads Commission . . . 1 agree with the general princi ple .. . also with the conclusion that new sources of revenue should be found if the state is to assume additional responsibilities for city streets. K would not be wise to put this additional responsibility on the Highway Commission . . . without providing new revenue sources . . . PUBLIC EDUCATION . (Though teachers' pay was ieud' e did not succeed in e tabhshmg the teacher on the se occuPr 31 ,cvel he should JVeshould now consolidate the advance made on a contingency basis two years ago, and I urge that the teacher salary schedule of $2,200 to $3,100 be provided along with increments fairly de signed to hold highly qualified in dividuals in the service ... He also urged the Assembly to study the need for a new com pulsory school attendance' law to replace the 1913 statute. HEALTH I urge the General Assembly to study and appraise the possibility service for the people, regardless of the par ticular county in which they live, as has been done in education and highways. . . . Our hospitals for the mental ly sick n;ust be improved and staffed with properly trained per sonnel ... ... it is my firm conviction that through the establishment and operation of a psychiatric wing at Chapel Hill, much will be accomp lished in the service to the mental ly ill . . . PUBLIC" WELFARE ... 1 recommend careful study of legislative proposals to streng then the steps being taken by local governmental units to provide more effectively against abuse of their prsoners 'reference to jails) The Commission set up to study domestic relations laws . . , has been at work during the past bien nium. We should give serious con sideration to- its current recom mendations PUBLIC UTILITIES . . . Electric power has now been taken to all but 32,844 farms ... Despite the progress scored, too many of our people still are with out the service . . . . . . Our public utilities corpora tions should provide the service to which the people are entitled i.nd at a cost not in excess of that necessary to permit a fair and rea sonable return on investment . . . I recommend that legislation be enacted requiring all public utili ties to apply for formal franchise certificates from the State Utilities Commission. " NATURAL RESOURCES . . . Not only should our streams be damned for flood control and for production of electric power, but we need to take positive steps to curb stream pollution that im pairs the usefulness of our streams, and is a growing health hazard. Legislation to deal effectively with this basic state problem con stitutes one of the challenges be fore this Assembly. I urge your at tention to it as a matter of prime importance. AGRICULTURE I feel that every dollar the state has spent to help the farmer has returned handsome dividends, and I strongly urge you to bear this in mind in considering the needs GET YOUR FREE COPY of the Do You Want To Know Spartan Calf Program An up-to-date program of useful, concise informa tion on calf rearing, de s'Snod to assist the dairy man toward better calf rearing and herd management.

Programs now under way should be continued, with greater empha sis on livestock production and im proved processing and marketing facilities for various farm products COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY . . . Our non-agricultural em ployment is now, in excess of 900,- j 000 men and women ... but wej have made only a good start to wards our logical goal of produc tion ... During the last year industry In vested or earmarked more than $100 million for new factories in North Carolina, and indications at this time are that even greater in vestments are under consideration for the year ahead ... . . . Improved deep water ports and prospects for procurement of natural gas greatly enhance our attraction for industry. LABOR AND MANAGEMENT . . . (Labor-management i Rela tions . . . were peaceful and pro ductive during the last two years One of our greatest needs and most challenging jobs is to raise the level of our earnings not just wages, but per capita income as well. . . . One reason for our low in come level is the fact that we have a minority of workers in local serv ice and retail trades who are paid wages of 50 cents an hour and less A state minimum wage statute should he enacted to place a floor under the incomes of these low paid workers who aren't covered by the federal wage-hour law . . I recommend your examination of the Workmen's Compensation Law with a view to the need of up ward revision of the scale of bene fits ... ELECTION LAWS ... I recommend revision of the law (on campaign expenditures) to permit reasonable expenditure for using newspapers, radio, the mails and other media of public information ... ... No specific limit, but strict er enforcement of the requirement that the source and use of cam paign funds be publicized might be more in the interest of honesty and fair practices than our pres ent law. ... If new limitations are to be written in the law, they should be .high enough for a candidate to maintain headquarters and carry on his information campaign in such way as to enable him to get his story to the people . . . VOTING AGE ... I recommend that you enact legislation to submit a Constitu tional Amendment lowering the minimum age in North Carolina from 21 to 18 years of age. LIQUOR The governor declared he stands MORE ABOUT Polio (Continued from Page 1) He reported that workers for the Waynesville area will cover the sections west to Pigeon Gap and in the northern and western ends of the county generally. Business firms throughout the area will be contacted by campaign workers, and collection boxes will be set up in rural stores. He also said that the chairman of the Community Development Programs within the area will be asked to organize drives within their own communities to boost the donations. Schools and churches customar ily ;ilso conduct individual cam paigns it hin their organizations.

The area director said that the dime board would he operated on Main Street daily through the two weeks of the campaign. lie added that work is going for ward on arrangements lor the President's B.ill, with Noble Gar rett, Jr., heading it. The date nd place for this event will be an nounced, later. In all, Mi-. Johnson estimated, approximately 2fn people, both in the town and rural areas, will be working in the campaign. The county has yet to fail to make its polio quota' at: year. Last year, however, the director pointed out. though the county met its quota awiin, the total donations amounted to" $;(,(i()0 less thun the amount raised in 194!).

I earnestly urge this Gen eral Assembly to examine this field of law enforcement with a view to strengthening the hands of our of ficers and courts ... HIGHWAY SAFETY The governor recommended the Assembly carry out the recom mendations of the State Advisory Commission regarding a workable motor vehicle mechanical inspec tion law, addition of 105 men to the State Highway Patrol, and such revision of the criminal statutes deemed necessary to curb the "carnage on our highways".

A similar collection was given to the Rowan County Library. " The note explained that the col lecton was started in 1885 by Charles- Fanning Smathers, former Canton postmaster, who was born in 1868 and died in 1944. He was the father of Colonel Smathers and was the family's first historian. The collection, Colonel Smath ers' note continues, now contains the names of more than ,1,000 per sons named Smither, Smether, Smathers, Smother, or Smuthers, who lived in America between 1682 and 1880. The genealogy portion of the gift contains extracts from U. S. Census reports of Orange, Ruther ford, Wilkes, Rowan, and Rocking ham counties. r The colonel had photostatic copies made from these census re ports of any page containing the name of the Smathers family. At the same time, these copies give many interesting delails re garding the population of Hay wood County at different periods In its early post-Revolutionary War history. The pages on which the Smath ers names are listed also contain many other names associated with the early beginnings and develop ment of Haywood County names like Ferguson, Plott, and others. . - , . r x . : - ) i - : L 'V " ' ? . . ,..V:- V - ;'" v ' LLJ..Z I THE DISCOVERY ot an automobile beneath the tee at Lake Carnegie, N.
