Many billions of duplicated 1 Income dollars apparently are in- I eluded in the $178 billion dollar na tional Income which the Department added up for 1946. Government, for example, claims it contributed $23 billion dollars to the national Income. This figure In eludes the pay of federal, state, county and municipal employees. But where did It get this money? The answer is obvious. It took the money first in taxes from the wages and salaries of individual, and from the gross oarnlngs of business. Thus, government’s ''contribution" consists of taking from you to pay another The number of “unseen guests" at your Slipper table each night has grown rapidly over the years.

It might be added, also, that anywhere In a congressman’s district Is defin itely no place for him to rest. Anyhow, Farmer Bob has been in quiring into the Southport situation, and State Senator S. Bunn Frink of the Brunswick County capital has been advised to be on the lookout for Mr. Doughton. Southport is noted for its quiet and natural beauty and 'has been re- fered to by Editor Carl Goerch of The State Magazine as the North Carolina town he’d best like to retire to. If Farmer Bob goes from his na tive mountains to the seashore. It looks like Southport will be it. Farmer Bob has worked hard for 83 years now, and after all, he real ly owes himself a vacation. If he keeps on driving so hard in Congress for eight or ten more years, he might overwork and have to take a long rest. 'This midwinter affair each year honors the State's congressional delegation.' The Senate left behind a list of unconfirmed postmaster nominations In North Carolina. The nominees have been the sub ject of a fight between Senate Civil Service Committee Chairman Wil liam Langer (R., N. D.) and prac tically the entire Senate. Langer said that some of the nominations Presi dent Truman sent to the Senate for confirmation wore "political."

Wedding bells will ring this Pall, for a North Carolina congressional ^ secretary and a Tar Heel girl. It ' hasn’t been formally announced yet,' but Miss Catherine Gibson, of Gib son, has yielded to the entreaties of John .A. Lang, Jr., of Carthage, sec-" retary of Representative Charles O.
