RICH CREDITS IN BABY CONTEST END II P. M. SAT, Virtual Tie Exists Between Leaders. Lead To Be De cided By Important Saturday County. Public Urged To Bring Votes To Contest Manager, Saturday Night SATURDAY 10:00* P. M., IMPORTANT HOUR The end of the HIGH CREDITS | in The Frankliu Times "Dollars ! Co You" Popular Baby Contest is but a, short time away. Sat/urday evening Feb., 18th at 10 o'clock, is the deadline. The baby race is hotter than' ever with the first entries on the Honor Roll all extremely close. Just a few subscriptions and coupons separate the contestants. And we may as well impress on the interested public that this first! period of HIGH CREDITS will be' a predominating factor in detenu- i ining first, second, third and; fourth awards. ? j So it is up to every contestant' to sharpen his pencil and prepare to have a big report on The Frank lin Times subscriptions, if they sincerely expect to win one of the coveted BIQ awards. Remembeh a beautiful silver loving cup and $150 in cash is ; the first award. And $75 is sec- ' ond, $26 is third and $15 is fourth. These awards are well worth put ting forth some extra effort and now is the time while the credits; are HIGH. Every contestant in the race should realize the importance of reporting every possible subscrip tion and merchant coupon before 10 p. m., Saturday, Feb. 18t-h, the final hour of HIGH CREDITS. Parents ? the call for .a winner has been sounded. Is not your baby worthy of your utmost sup port between now and the end of the HIGH CREDITS? With a virtual tie existing among the first five contestants in the Popular Baby Contest after l]>e Wednesday evening count, the contest enters the final two days of the high credit period. LitMe. Emily Nell Dean again took the'' lend, Frances Timberlake in sec ond position, Billy Lancaster bare ly took third position and Joyce Spencer fourth. During this scram ble Ruth Fay Cash went from 9th to 6th position, however the ' changing of these various contes tants means little as the standing a&oag Mie first five is way too close for comfort and the coming Saturday count may, see still fur ther changes. It would not be sur prising to see anyone of the first' six take first place after the last counting of the HIGH CREDITS is cofpleted. OMier contestants on the Honor Roll are Increasing; their position and there is a great possibility a dark horse may put] in an appearance at the end of this week. As we have stated in previous paragraphs the BIG drop in cred its will- come Saturday evening. Feb. 18th, at 10 o'clock and t-hese credits will NEVER return.

PAY COM MISSIONERS A Bill Sent to Representa tives in Legislature; Res olutions by Kiwanis Club And Chamber of Com-1 merce Senator W. L. Lumpkin and ; Representative A. F. Johnson have been requested to have the following bill passed -providing for pay for the members of the: Board of Commissioners of the Town of Louisburg. The blfl as 1 will be noticed provides for pay-t ment of $6.00 each for regular meetings and $2.50 each for spec ial or called meetings provided payment should be made for not more t-han one regular and one1 special or called meeting in each \ month. The bill follows: An Act Providing for the Com- j jwnsation for the Commission- ; i ts of the Town of Louisburg, North Carolina The -General Assembly of North Carolina do enact: X. That each member of the' Board of Commissioners of tihe Town of Louisburg, North Caro-i lina, shall, as compensation for his I services as such, receive the sum of Five Dollars for attendance up- 1 on each regular monthly meeting, of said Board and the sum of Two i and One-half Dollars for attend- 1 ance upon each special meeting of said governing body; provided, no member shall receive pay for any meeting which he does not actual ly attend In person and provided further that no member shall re ceive pay for more Mian one spec- j ial or called meeting in any one calendar month. i 2. That nothing in this Act shall decrease, increase or in. any , way affect the compensation puid' to the Mayor of said Town of i Louisburg. 3. That this Act shall become j effective from and after the tirst day of July. 193?. This bill is endorsed by the Louisburg Chamber of Commerce and the Louisburg Kiwanis Club in the following resolutions, trans mitted to Franklin's representa tives 'in- the general assembly and signed by the officers of each or- ! ganizatyion. There has been a feeling for a long number of years that these officials, who are now receiving no pay, should be paid a nominal fee for each meeting. It> seems that, through these or-1 ganizatioii8 the expression of the people of the to\jrn is favorable to the passage of this bill: The resolutions follow: Resolution Itelutivo to Providing That (lie Commissioners of the Town of Louisburg;, \. C. Ile eeive t 'ompensut ion For Ser vices W lie reus, services required of tile members of the Board of Com missioners of the Town of Louis burg are often arduous and un pleasant, requiring much time of the individual members iu many instances; and whereas -under the existing law no compensation is provided for such services; and whereas it is the belief of t?his or-! ganization that not only are the; individual members of suid Board entitled to compensation but to provide reasonable pay would re sult in allowing them to render I more valuable services In their of ficial capacity. Now Therefore Be It Resolved: 1st. That our representatives in the General Assembly be re quested tp introduce and obtain the passage of an act providing1 that each of said commissioners shall be paid the sum of Five Dol-, lars ($5.00) for attendance at each regular meeting of said board, and the sum of Two and 50-100 Dollars (*2.50) for atten dance at each call or special meet ing of said board, provided tihat in no event shall the pay of said In dividual commissioner exceed the sum of Seven aud 50-100 Dollars ($7.50) for any one month. 2nd. That a copy of this reso-l lutlon be sent to Hon. A. F. John son. Representative, and Hon. W. L. Lumpkin, Senator. Louisburg Kiwanis Club, I) E. Earnhardt, Pres. W. C.

High est temperature registered was 106 H. Valentine games and song story contest made np the even ing'* entertainment. Refreshments were served to 29 guests.

The Legislature J Although the two big commit tees. the Appropriations and Fin ance of both houses of the Gener al Assembly, jiuve . been holdinK full sessionn since our last report, the majority l>f their work has been routine, checking over and whipping into shape the two big money bills, wjth tire idea of bal ancing the budget. Of course each of these . committees have held public hearings., and given much time, thought and effort to' building up a precedent that will give to the people of the State the greatest amount of service for tire least money. There is one ser ious feature of the entire job. and that is the State Departments have been established and enlarged in< good times and now occupy a po sition that cannot well be reduc-j ed, therefore the main thiug that can be done is 1fiot, to increase | them at this time, although in i some instances it seems almost' an absolute necessity that some of i them need more opportunity to serve the people. This situation, with business oil so much during the depression, recension and slump, that the Finance Commit tee in trying to raise funds enough to continue these Slate demands and yet not cripple business with a too great a tax burden, has a problem that seems hard to solve. The Appropriations Committee i saw fit to refuse to grant the teachers program of increased salaries, but has agreed to hear them again. This same commit tee has consistently reduced many items, that is has failed to approve the increases, over the past two years, but has gone back and "spflt> up" on some of these ques tions. The Finance Committee has adopted a crown tax oil beer, and has tentatively relieved building material of th&Sales tax. It also refused to increase the liquor tax to ten per cent from the present' seven per cent. It is, however, I short on finding enough money and will have to go back and un do and do over again some of -its work unless it can find more mon- 1 ey otherwise. it has relieved 1 horses- and mulls of the Sales tax. but Ims made up lh? loss by other taxes on these dealers. The one bill Miat has caused more comment than any other this week is the one introduced by Senator TTrnstead. of Orange, to have the State establish whiskey! warehouses in cities of the State of over 35,000 population and sliip | whiskey in not over gallon lots anywhere in the State. This be ing a Slate project the State would gel the profit and- lax too. and it Is variously esUmate<l?to produce, funds anywhere from one to five million dollars The sponsors claim it will not only produce a lot of revenue, but will have a very wholesome effect on the illegal whiskey traffic which is admitted is running rampant in the Slate. The nexl bill of importance was one introduced 111 the House by Hon. Pete Murphy to provide higher educaMon for Negroes. If provides increasing the facilities for enlarging the present Stale negro schools at Greensboro and Durham so that regular degree courses can be taught at these schools. The elections law is about ready for presentation to the .com mittee for consideration. The committee Is trying to prepare a uniform law foi^the State to elim inate confusion and it is under stood it will provide for a new registration, smaller voting pre cincts, a tighter absentee voting law and the elimination of mark-/ ers. The Agricultural Committee approved a hill looking to control of the bee iudustry In the State, which has for Its main object to elimination of bee diseases and pests. The education bills have not I been completed but are taking I shape and will soon be ready for) consideration. It is expected that the big bills will begin to emerge into the House and Senate the latter part' of this week or early next week I and then the fireworks will begin. | Naturally some changes may be. etpected and much argument will i be made, but in the final analysis j they will, no doubt, come out sub-; stantlally the'same as i^lien en tering.

His death was caused by a pulmonary trouble affecting his heart. pope Pius was entombed In a crypt In ohe magnificent and beau tiful St. Peter's, often "referred to as:a cathedral. The ceremony was one of all solemnity and magnifi cence -of the Roman Catholic Church, and of such that is sel dom seen in our modern times.
