Curtis Urged To Promote Public Works Finances For Jobs Assured Two Billion Dollars Made Available For Municipal Improvements, Loftis Says Present indications are that approximately $2,000,000,000 of the $3,300,000, appropriated 1 through the national recovery act will be available for municipal improvements, according to in formation received here. It was stated that "this f*ct places an immediate responsibility on local public officials, architects, * general contractors and others identified with the construction industry, if this vast sum is to be utilized speedily for increasing em ployment and stimulating busi , ness.” Provisions of the act making available an outright grant of 30 per cent of the cost of such local work also require that the respon sibility for repayment of 70 per cent of the cost must be assumed by the local communities. In many instances this will require that au thorization be secured from legis lative bodies, taxpayers or admin istrative officials empowered to enter into such financing agree ments. A consistent program of promo tional effort must be drawn up in all local communities throughout the country to select the projects , which should go ahead at once,! popularize the need proper authori-j zations are made and in general to1 get the machinery in motion for, making application to the national, public works administration so that funds may be secured quickly and work begun soon.

FINDS DUCK IN TROUT Jackson, Wyo.—Clarence Cook, court stenographer, combines the hunting and fishing stories. He related that, upon cleaning a big native trout he caught in a pond near Spring Creen, he found a young duck in its stomach. Black-Draught Clears Up Sluggish, Dull Feeling “I have used Thedford’s Black Draught for constipation for a dong time, and find it gives relief ior this trouble,” writes Mrs. Frank Champion, of Wynne, Ark. "I think it is good for spells caused from gas on the stomach. If I get up in the morning feeling dull and sluggish, a dose of Black Draught taken three times a day ■will cause the feeling to pass away, and in a day or two I feel like a new person. After many years of use we would not exchange Black Draught for any medicine.” P. S. — If you have Children, give them the new, pleaaant-tasting SYRUP of Thedford’a Black-Draught.

C. j Foreigners Finding It Hard To Fool American Delegates At London Parley " The World Monetary and Eco nomic Congress, now in session in London, represents sixty-six out of the seventy organized nations of the globe. Fifty-jljven of them are members of the League of Na tions, namely: Abyssinia, South Africa, Al bania, Argentina, Australia, Aus tria, Belgium, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Domin ican Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guate mala, Haiti, Honduras, Hungary, India, Iraq, Irish Free State, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liberia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Perisa, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Sal vador, Sian, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United King dom, Uruguay, Venezuela and Yugoslavia. The nine nations in the confer ence not members of the League are Afghanistan, Brazil, Chsta Rica, Ecuador, Egypt, Hedjaz, Iceland, the United States of American and the Union of Socialist Soviet Re publics—in our language, Russia. The main purposes of this great international convention are, first to try to find some way by inter national action to raise the prices of commodities in foreign trade; second, to remove or modify the barriers which stand in the way of the free flow of goods from one nation to another; third, to arrive it some common basis of money so that there will no longer be great disparities between the values of :he currencies of different nations. On those general proposals all )f the important nations except France, and practically all of the ninor nations are in agreement. If "ranee can be whipped into line it ;hould be easy to work out the de tails. France, as is always the case in international conferences, is the 'bad boy” of the London meeting. France always goes into such con ferences with a complete program —all in France’s favor—and pro tests loudly that she won’t play unless she has her own way. She usually winds up by accepting the majority verdict and then going borne and lamenting loudly that she has been robbed. France started those tactics at the beginning of this conference, insisting that the mOneysi of the world be immediately stabilized at their present ratios. That did not suit the English, who would like to keep the dollar much higher to the pound than it is now, nor the Americans, who think the pound ought to get back to its old dollar value or higher. But the French delegation circulated the report that an agreement had been reach ed and dollar prices began to tum ble. France wants, in short, to keep the franc just where it is,, and if the pound goes much higher the French will have to go off the gold standard, like the rest of the world. On the other hand, the Japanese are opposing stabilization because^ they want to keep the yen cheap. I Every nation has sent its ablest; men to the London conference.! There are seven prime ministers a-! mong the delegates. There is no ground, however, to fear that the American delegation will be out-| smarted. There are few abler men1 in America than Secretary of State Cordell Hull, former Governor: James M. Cox, Senator Key Pitt-' man, Senator Couzens, Representa tive McReynolds, James M. War burg and their economic advisers, who include such men as Professor O. M. W. Sprague and' Rene Leon. They know just what America wants and they are not easily fool ed by even such high politics as Europe plays. In the first major political skirmish of the conven tion, the fight for the chairmanship of the Monetary Commission, the Americans won hands down and James M. Cox was elected Chair man. America is in the best position of any of the nations in the confer ence, for we not only have more gold than anybody else but they all, or practically all of them owe us money. America, too, is in better posi tion than any of them to take its doll rags and go home if the party doesn’t go to our delegates’ liking. Under the new powers granted' to President Roosevelt, we can put the dollar at any price relative the pound, the franc or the yen that we like, regardless of what the other fellow does. We can keep our tariff up and reduce our cur rency to a point where our goods can climb over the highest tariff wall any of them can erect. We can curtail production in agricul ture and industry to meet our own domestic demands and no more, if we care to do that. Those are the weapons the Unit-J ed States delegates to London havJ in their hands, Nobody wants tci have to use them. Everybody would prefer an amicable interna tional economic agreement, but if we are forced to economic nation alism, we can get along bettei j witUiut the other nations than they can get along without us. Rev. Phillips Is Given Reception Rev. C. A. Phillips, rew pastor sf Haven Lutheran church, was »iven a reception last night on the church lawn at which time several aundred members of the congre gation and ministers from other churches extended tc him a warm welcome. Mr. Phillips succeeds the Rev. 8. J. Wessinger, who recently ac cepted a call to the Lutheran churches of Spencer and East spencer. Prior to accepting the Haven aastorate Mr. Phillips was located in Mooresville. She—"You drive awfully fast, don’t you?” He—"Yes, I hit seventy yester day.” She—"Did you kill any of them ” State Auto Inspection Force Will Be Cut ___ The force of automobile inspec-j tors will be cut from 16 to 6 men on July 1, Dr. M. C. S. Noble, executive assistant commissioner of revenue, announced this week. Fourteen men of the sixteen pre sent inspectors will be dismissed and four new ones appointed, Noble said. I. G. Shoaf, of Lexington, and W. T. Landis, of Oxford, are the two who will continue in their positions. W. C. Spruill, combination in spector and tax collector for For syth and Stokes counties, will be retained in the department, but not as an inspector. When the legislature placed the state highway patrol under the de I partment of revenue, it declared j that the force of automobile in 1 spectors should be reduced. HEAVY ACCIDENT TOLL The week-end toll of accidential death in the state was a heavy one. Miss Lizzie May Carter, of Davie county, was fatally hurt in a col lision near the Yadkin river bridge. Monroe Harrison, 42, was found in a dying condition beside the highway near Winston-Salem. He was apparently the victim of a hit and run driver.

ESCAPES FROM LAKE Mrs. Margaret Rennie was res cued from Lake Michigan after clinging 34 hours to a makeshift raft. Her husband and two oth.r men had slipped from the raft to their deaths. The plane of the four on a flight to Milwaukee, en countered heavy fog and plunged into the lake.

Olive, Smithfield, was one of them. 26 Salisbury Stores Agree To Close Saturdays At 9 Twenty six Salisbury stores this week agreed to close at 9 o’clock on Saturday nights and at 6 o’clock on other days.

The vote, with all precincts re ported was: For, 1,189; against, 561. The county becomes the first in North Carolina allowed to hold races with betting, following pas sage of a bill at the last session of the General Assembly which legal ized the sport in five counties, sub ject to a vote of the people. A heated campaign, in which ministers of the county led a fight against the proposal/ preceded the referendum. A racing commission, appointed under the act, headed the drive for approval. There was no violence during the election and the voting was held in an orderly manner. Although the races are now legalized, no plans, so far as cculd be learned, have been made to hold them. CURRENCY is liquid, all right. We can tell that by the way we only get the drippings. _ SALE OF VALUABLE HOUSE AND LOT-ROCKWELL Pursuant to the terms and con ditions of a certain mortgage deed of trust, executed by S. B.
