IRON MAN OF BUDGET BUREAU WILL LEAVE Budget Bureau Is Branded As “Colossal Failure” By Attorney General DOESN’T BALANCE Rejoicing is unrestrained on Capitol Hill, now that the difinite assurance is given that Henry Burke, “Iron Man” of the Budget Bureau, is going to be succeeded July 1 by Frank L. Dunlap, Wades boro, as assistant director, but there are many out in the State who will regret his departure, and for the same reason that the Capi tol Hill folks make merry at his departure. .Burke has been assaulted and maligned as probably no other man in high position in the State has been in many years, but he moves placidly along as if nothing had happened and seems to thrive on it. The latest attack came in the controversy with State Auditor Baxter Durham from Attorney General D. G. Brummitt, whose statement was that the Budget Bureau has been a “colossal fail ure” in the past four years. “As strange as it may seem, I find myself almost in complete ac cord with Mr. Brummitt’s state ment”, said Mr. Burke, although Mr. Brummitt, inferentially charg ed Burke with the failure. The main function of the Budget Bu reau is to keep the budget in bal ance. The 1929 General Assembly left it $2,500,000 out of balance; the 1931 Legislature left it $3, 750,000 out of balance; and the great drop in revenues finished the havoc. In the face of those conditions and with the debt service a fixed a mount and no cut possible in the public school funds, by legislative action, the only way to have kept the budget anywhere near a bal ance would have been earlier and further reductions of salaries of State department and institution employees. Governor Gardner, as budget director, made cuts which raised howls, but Burke is of the belief that earlier and deeper cuts would have reduced the deficit. If Mr. Brummitt had suggested balancing the budget earlier, by the only means possible under leg islative setup—reducing salaries further—and the State workers had realized it, instead of being something of a champion for them, he would have been looked upon as their greatest enemy—except pos sibly Burke. Mrs. Lula Boswell, of Black Creek, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Joyner, Sunday. Claude Gray, of Camp’s Store, visited Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Bryont Friday. HOW SHE LOST 18 POUNDS OF FAT For Less Than $1.00 “Will say in regards to Kru schen: I took it to reduce. I lost 18 pounds after using one bottle and feel fine. Just bought one more bottle today and expect to lose 18 more pounds. I now weigh 148 and feel fine.” Mrs. Harry Robinson, Akron, Ohio (Jan. 6, 1933). Once a day take Kruschen Salts —one half teaspoonful in a glass of hot water first thing every morning. Besides losing ugly fat SAFELY you’ll gain in health and physical attractiveness—constipa tion, gas and acidity will cease to bother—you’ll feel younger—more active—full of ambition—clear skin—sparkling eyes. A jar that lasts 4 weeks costs but a trifle at any drugstore in the world—but demand and get Kruschen and if one bottle doesn’t joyfully please you—money back. Will Rogers Picks A Story For This Spot By WILL ROGERS T SUPPOSE everybody knows A that, as lariat throwers go, I’m a pretty good one. So I must hav4 hung about a cow ranch at somt (time or other. And that remind! me of a story of an old Irishman that ran a cow ranch in Montana 1 He used to sell a good bit of milk to a dairy in a nearby city, and there came a time when the man* ager of the dairy complained t(» him about the quality of the milk, It seems it was awfully weak. Well, the old Tad had an alibi. “You see,” he says, “Cows don’t get enough grass feed this time of year and them cows are just aa sorry as I am. I often see ’em cry ing, regular crying, real tears flow ing down their faces, as they feel as how their milk don’t do ’em credit, and they are ashamed.” The dairy manager replied, “Well, that’s alright Pat, I don’t mind them crying about it, but don’t let them hold their heads over the milk buckets, when they cry.” _ii . *’_•'- ~ — Commissioners Have Little Business At The June 5 Session The Board of County Commis sioners met in regular session June 5, 1933, with the least amount of business ever transacted by that body in recent times. Routine business and the appointment of J. B. Hall as Superintendent of the Welfare Department comprised the work of this meeting. The members of the Board of Education met with the Board of County Commissioners, and on mo tion of W. F. Joyner and seconded by B. B. Everette, J. B. Hall was appointed Superintendent of the Welfare Department for Halifax County for the next two years. On motion of W. J. Collier and seconded by B. B. Everette, beer license were issued to the follow ing parties: T. C. Qualls, Hollister. J. Spire, Roanoke Rapids. Scotland Neck Hotel. Mrs. John Pope, Weldon. J. C. Smith, Roanoke Rapids. A. A.

The annual meeting of the board was held June 19th, the third Mon day in June, for the purpose of hearing complaints as to the valua tion of property. Adjustments have not yet been made, and minutes of the meeting were not made public. The cream routes, recently es tablished in McDowell County, are affording farmers a cash market for much of the surplus milk and are also paying a good price for surplus roughage. More than 80 gallons of cream were shipped the second week. SMITHS RADIO SHOP Dial R-363 Electrical Wiring, Installa tions and Repairing of all Rinds.
