Mr. Glenn Frlddle from the State Council of the National Grange ex plained the organization and pur poses of the Grange, Baying that or ganizations of this kind- have been started In thirty tbfee states, and that there are about 12,000 Grange members in North Carolina.

Allison, Director of Re lief for Franklin Count#, talked to the ladies stressing the need for more and better gafdens In the County. He said that the two things that he was most impressed with as he travelled wver the County were the lack of live stock snd the lack of adequate gardens. He ex plained that the farmers borrowed money from banks until the banks could lend them' no more; they then borrowed money from the Federal .Government and c6uldn't pay It back. There Are only two things left to do, sa)d Mr. Allison, to have more livestock and to have more gardens. The farmers are unable to buy the livestock, therefore the only .thing they cah 'do is to havi more adequate gardens."' He especi ally .mentioned the Work that the Epsom Club Women did the past year in canning material with which to feed undernourished children.

Reorganizing Plan NO ESSENTIALS OF SERVICE DROPPED Merger* With Other Departments Asked, Bat Withovt Increased Costs; Mate Treasurer's Duties Would Be Greatly Enlarged To Embrace Others Raleigh, Jan. 21. ? The plans for the reorganization of the State gov ernment as proposed by the Joint legislative committee on govern mental reorganization, proved a body blow to a number of State de partment heads, especially some of the "divine right" elected State of ficials. But reports today from over the State Indicate that these plans are being .approved, by the rank and file of the taxpayers and that they are expecting and ' demanding that the General Assembly eliminate ev- ... , ery State department and agency not absolutely necessary. A saving of about 2,000, 000 a year .will result if these plans are carried out, the committee says. \ The virtually unanimous vote with which the report of the Committee on Governmental Reorganization was approved In both the House and Senate la regarded as indicating the eventual enactment of most of the legislation neceattry to put the re commendations contained In the re port into effect. At almost any oth er time the department heads and employes affected would probably be able to muster enough political strength to defeat the proposals. Rut with economic conditions and public opinion pow arrayed almost solidly against them, indications are that they wljl be able to make very little resistence. Lou it Over Doe "The steps recommended in the report of the committee should, have been taken years ago. but previous general assemblies have lacked the nerve to buck the politically en trenched departments and divisions involved," is the opinion freely ex pressed here today. It is agreed that the present economic situation, coupled with the temper of the pub lic generally demanding radical cur tailment of governmental costs, are going to prove the most powerful influences in bringing * about the changes recommended. While it was feared by some that the reocganizatlon committee would recommend some radical and revo lutionary changes embracing the abolition of some of the more es sential departments and divisions of the State government, those .who have studied the report agree that it has not recommended the aboli tion or dismantling of any State agency that is performing an essen tial service. Many of the older de partment heads had hoped and ev en believed that the reorganization committee would recommend the abolition of many of the newer -de partments,, bureaus and 'commissions or their consolidation wit# some of these older departments. There is _ no doubt that efforts were made to try to influence the committee to do this. But, the committee decided to tio its owu thinking and recom mending the results were decidedly different from what some had hoped for. Powers To Be Enlarged. Among the various departments and agencies which are either left as they are now constituted or whose powers Ttnd duties would be enlarg ed, are: Budget bureau. State Treasurer's office. State Highway Commission. Board of Equalization. Department of Revenue. ?' ? Industrial Commission. Insurance Commission. Division of Purchase and Contract. - Attorney General's office. State Board of Health. Secretary of State's office. Department of Conservation and Development. The departments and agencies which the committee wquld abolish entirety or consolidate with other agencleK are as follows: Executive counsel. \r ; Department of Personnel. ' State Board of Elections. Tax Commission. ' Commissioner of veterans loan tuna. State Library and Library Com mission. ^ Corporation Commission. Director ot Standards and Infpec-, tlons.
