It is unofficially estimated that

Departments —for total potential

to consider tax cuts.
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.
Improvements have been made
to date in the government account-
I ing system, food supply manage
ment, surplus property, and legal
services and procedures.

the Kennedy-Payne bill to modern
ize obsolete federal budget and ac
counting procedures.
Cost of the commission has been
a good investment for the taxpay
er. 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.

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. |

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.”
