HALIFAX CITIZENS OWN 5,380 AUTOMOBILES NO NEW TEACHERS ALLOTED State Motorists 'Gypped’ Campaign Investiga tion Starts -r • - (Special To The Herald) Raleigh, Oct 16.—One hundred and 'eleven teachers were alloted to schools in 57 of the 93 counties participating in the State school equalizing fund, 'due to increased enrollment of pupils, I by the State Board of Equalization at its' recent meeting, out of more than 200 requests for additional teach ers. The limit of about $100,000 for this purpose, the State board paying the full salaries, held down the num ber, although a few others will prob ably be given in counties in which schools are just starting. No additional teachers were allot ted to Halifax, or Northampton counties. Figures just compiled show the Halifax County will receive a to tal of $56,195.70 from the State school fund this year, of which $44,748.59 is for the constitutional six months term and $11,447,11 is for the extended term, in addition to any that may be paid for extra teachers alloted.

Halifax County had a total of 5, 380 automobiles and 775 trucks on Oc tober 1, according to the registration cards on file in the Motor Vehicle Burea, Sprague Silver, director, an nounces. Northampton County had a total of 2f675 automobiles and 30 Otrucks. The entire state had a registration of 393,730 automobiles, including 3, 550 owned by non-residents, leaving an average of 3,902 to each county; 58,010 trucks, including 910 non-resi dents, an average of 571 to the coun ty, and 1,290 motorcycles, an average of about 13 to the county. North Carolina motorists last year were “gypped’ out of about $210,468 fqr motor ils they never got but paid for, due to the discovery that fully 81 per cent of the pumps, cups, bottles, cans and jars used for measuring are “short” according to C. D. Baucom, State inspector of weights and mea sures. Mr. Baucom, who has recently made a check up, reports that quart oil bottles are made about four table spoonsful short and Bince about 6, 750,000 gallons of oils were used in th« State last year, the loss will reach; well toward a quarter of a million dollars. No indictments have beien made, but faulty measures have been condemned, Mr. Baucom said* Raleigh people are excited over the investigation being made here by the Senator Nyc committee on campaign expenditures, in charge of Senator Patterson, looking into the recent De mocratic Senatorial primary. Both Democrats and Republicans, some of them, say that is is nothing but a political move or a fiasco, and all are confident that nothing indicating ex cessive campaingn expenditures will be discovered or opened up. Both Senator F. M. Simmons and his successful opponent, Josiah Wil All this week, all over the United States the drug stores are observing Pharmacy Week. The idea back of this country wide event is to give the public a better knowledge of the requirements of the present-day pharmacist—to let it know something about the specialized education and the practical training re quired of the person who compounds medicines and fills prescriptions. The retail drug business is probably a little different than most retail lines. With a little experience and capital, almost any person can open up a retail shop and sell gro ceries, candies, meats, clothing, furniture and the like. But the drug business is different. Before a person can operate a drug store and compound prescriptions he must pass a rigid examination before a state board of pharmacy. And before he can even submit to an examination he must have at least four years of practical experience in the re tail drug business. And, in addition he must graduate from a recognized college of pharmacy before the exami nation can be taken. The standards of pharmacy are being raised. Edu cational requirements are more exacting than ever before. Examinations are more rigid. The idea, of course, is to keep out the unfit and protect the public. With his broad training, the pharmacist, as assistant to the physician, is ever ready to serve you in maintaining good health of the community. ROSEMARY DRUG CO. Rosemary, N. C.
