mmmmsm FEBRUARY 28, 1935 g Parent-Teacher Congress Supports the Program of iSupt. Clyde R. Erwin Large Number oC Organization's Afjmnd Hpiinntrc of Appropriations Committee. Raleigh, N. C.?"The North Caro! - Una Congress of Parents and Teachers is enthusiastically supporting the program of State Superintendent of :V Public Instruction Clyde A. Krwin, which provides an increase of 25 per gl cent in teachers' salaries and sets 522.000.000 as the minimum appropriation for the operation of the public schools for each year of the next biennium," said Mrs. W. B. Aycock, president of the Parent-Teacher Organization. "The interest of the Congress was demonstrated by the large number of parent-teacher leaders who came from all sections of the State to attend the open hearing before the Appropriations Committee of the General Assembly on Mr. Erwin's request for the S22.000.000 appropriation. Every day letters, telegrams and press ac counts have been coming in, showing the Parent-Teacher Associations throughout North Carolina are not only endorsing Mr. Erv/ins' program, but are urging their representatives in the General Ascmbly to support it," said the president of the State Iui It has been very encouraging" to note that Parent-Teacher Associations are not the only organizations backing the $22,000,000 appropriation, but many other civic clubs are endorsing it. All organizations concerned with the welfare and education of the children of the State are urged to endorse at once Mr. Erwin's request for at least $22,000,000 for the schools of North Carolina," says Mrs. Ay??

INGRATITUDE When we consider how the goodness of God is abused and perverted by the greatest part of mankind, we can not but be of his mind who said: "The greatest miracle in the woTiu & God's patience and bounty to an ungrateful world." Oh, what would not God do for his creatures, if they were thankful; who thus heaps the coals of His mercies upon the heads of His enemies? But think not, ye ungrateful, that you will escape thus. God's mill goes slow, but it grinds small, j The more admirable his patience and bounty now are, the more dreadful and unsupportable will be that fury which ariseth out of his abused goodness. Nothing is blunter than iron; yet, when sharpened, it hath an edge that will cut mortally. Nothing is smoother than the sea, yet, when stirred unto a tempest, nothing ragcth more. Nothing is so sweet as the patience and goodness of God, and nothing is so terrible as His wrath, when it takes fire. -TiTHW M HA TTM I I WANTED! NO. 1. POPLAR BLOCKS!

In the House his young Democrat references were repeated, and amendments were proposed. One was | to have him speak Saturday night, , when the legislators were away.

Proponents were in the minority, i I A. heated debate continued for more , than two hours. The committee decided to wait until this week to take it up. It will probably receive a favorable report, but the Senate vote on it will be close, that body being about 50-50 on it, apparently. Beauticians Win Skirmish Cosmetologists, or "beauticians," won their first skirmish for changes in their lew which would let their association name the examining board rather than the Governor. Apparently they had what was needed to get j the ear of Uio Senate Health Committee, headed by Dr. John T. Burrus.
