The platform adopted by the Re publican National Convention con tains a specific commitment that the party will support the commis sion’s proposals. Here is what the Republican platform said: ‘‘Efficiency and Economy in Gov ernment: We pledge to continue our far-reaching program for im proving the efficiency and the ef fectiveness of the federal govern ment in accordance with the prin ciples set forth in the report of the Hoover Commission. “We are unalterably opposed to unwarranted growth of centralized federal power. We shall carry forward the worthy effort of the Kestnbaum Commission on Inter governmental Affairs to clarify federal relationships and strength en state and local government. “We shall continue to dispense with federal activities wrongfully competing with private enterprise, and take other sound measures to reduce the cost of government.” The Democratic platform did not mention the Hoover Commission specifically, but said: “The Democratic Party pledges that it will return the administra tion of our national government to a sound, efficient and honest basis . . . Taxpayers, paying billions of dollars each year to their govern ment, demand and must have the highest standards of honesty, in tegrity and efficiency as a mini mum requirement of federal execu tive conduct.” Action taken thus far involves 112 of the 314 recommendations [made by the Commission on Or j ganization of the Executive Branch (of the Government, popularly j known as the Hoover Commission.

Potential annual savings of $532,600,000 are already in sight. But the commission performed its task on a Congressional appropri ation of less than $2,800,000. Thus it has paid for itself many fold, and adoption of additional proposals will increase the value of the investment. Sports Afield Bv TED RESTING Editor Sports Afield Magazine N. : s A houseboat is built for one pur pose—to be lived in. It can be a home, it can be your fishing lodge, or your hunting cabin. You can move around any time without set ting your feet against roll or sway under you. You have everything of the shore cabin except the cracking log fire. But to compen sate for this—right -outside you have fishing. Anyone thinking about a house boat should consider most carefully certain aspects ot the waterway it will be used on. Slip up and you may have to trade it for a smaller one, or haul it to another river or lake. That can be more expensive than you think. Make sure that the whole length of the waterway is navigable for your houseboat. And remember, river channels have ways of chang ing. Nonnavigable waters might have a bridge that’s too low. Don’t think that this isn’t important since you plan to just live aboard and not move. When you find how eco nomically and smoothly your house boat moves and what comfort it brings along, you’ll want to take water trips, insists Willard Cran dall, boating editor of Sports Afield. Be sure good mooring places are i available. These should be shelter ed, have free access to a nearby l landing, and be not too far from a couple of places where the house- - boat could he hauled out. If the water is navigable you pi ay have to get permits to moor. For all except the largest house-j boats, an outboard is ideal power. It can be mounted on the craft; or the houseboat can be moved by sim ply putting the. motor on any small boat and towing. Most houseboat owners want to keep a small out board boat tied on, anyway. It’s a j good idea to have two outboard mo tors, one for the houseboat and one for the. small utility. Some of the larger river house boats take an inboard better. There’s more room for it, the. weight of it becomes less signifi cant, and it adds little to the draft. | . , TO SING SI’NDAV The Gospel Trumpets, local quar tet, has reorganized and will ap-J pear at the Plehsantdrove A.M'.K.-j Zion Church at 3 o’clock Sunday af ternoon, Oetber 21st.

Time Now Ripe To Get Scarce Tree Seedlings “Forest tree seedlings are going like hotcakes this year,” says John Gray, Extension specialist in charge of Forestry Extension at North Carolina State College. Landowners huve already ordered over 80 per cent of the total sup ply available from the public nur series, reports, Gray, This is true despite the fact that the tree plant ing season. wiil not start until De cember. If you are planning to put land in trees this winter, get an order blank from your county agent or county forest ranger, fill it out, and send it to the State Forester at. Raleigh right away, advises. Gray. Although all longleaf .pine have been, sold out,. Gray indicates that 6,000,000 loblolly pine seedlings art available lor purchase, along with 4,000,000 slash pine seedlings, and 100.000 red cedar seedlings. Except lor those seedlings set aside for 4-H club members and FFA boys, all white pine and short leal pine have been sold out. Gray adds that plenty of loblolly pines PAGE SEVEN i—SECTION ONE are still available to these two groups. These trees are available free to 4-H and FFA member? through courtesy of the pulpwood industry. Another indication of the tight supply ot tree seedlings, says Gray, is found in yellow poplar. All have been sold out except for a small amount still available to adults through courtesy of the Furniture and Veneer Council of the North Carolina Forestry Association. Tn Southern North Carolina, the total allotment of free pine seed lings made available to landowners on a matching basis through the courtesy of the International Pa per Company has been exhausted. "If you want to plant trees,” says Gray, “act now.” TRY A HERALD WANT AP pFeseason TRADE-IN SPECIALS! || | rtf Smart new Sandalwood finish! Get “living level" heat! Blower circulates heat by iorce.
