Payment System
The cost of operating county
homes In North Carolina has de
clined more than a quarter mil
lion dollars since the public as
sistance program went into effect
in 1937, W, C. Ezeli, director of
the division of institutions and
corrections of the State weifare
department, said this week.
At the same time the welfare
official scored the “noxious” prac
tice of paying county home sup
erintendents so much for each
inmate and letting them make an
additional profit by effecting sav
ings on the grocery bills.
Ezell gave full credit to the
program headed by Public Assist
ance Director, Nathan H. Yeiton,
as the most likely cause of the
deceased in outlay of tax funds
for county almshouses. Eleven
, counties have closed their poor
homes and placed the former in
mates On public assistance rolls
since the social security program
became effective in North Caro-
iina in 1937.
Counties spent $94.3.220.61 in
193 and $678,876.73 in 1939 to
maintain almshouses, a drop of
_ .28 per cent, the report staled.
^jP'fhe number of county homes de
clined from 86 to 75, and the
average monthly per capita cost
from $17.11 to $16.90.

had made It poetlble (or cosstietf
to put an extra million Into pnV
Hc assistance grants, three-
(onrths of which are paid from
State and Federal funds.
The assistance programs have
also made it posslWe.” he con
tinued, "for a number of depen
dent children, aged and blind
persons to live In private homes
where they are able to live in a
family atmosphere and among
friends of their own choosing.”
The State welfare official then
added:
“The still prevalent custom of
‘letting out the keep’ of the coun
ty home wards to the most fav
orable bidder is a matter of con
cern. Although the practice is less
common in the management of
the county homes than in the
county jails, it still is prevalent.
Thirteen of the 75 homes now
operating pay the superintendent
on a fee basis. The fees range
from $5.00 to $17.50 per month.
“Any system which allows a
stated amount for boarding and
expects that the keeper’s income
will consist in the difference be
tween what is allowed for board
ing and what is actually s.pent on
the people has noxious implica
tions. A salary system of paying
public employes has less dangers
of abuse. It is customary that the
superintendent gets the house
and certain farm lands rent free,
ia addition to fees allowed.”

Want to make a room excit
ing? Paint two of the walls red.
Want to warm up a cold room?
Put pure red on trim areas or
furniture, or a toned-down red on
the walls. Want to cool down a
small, bright room, lighten up a
dark room or make a room more
formal? Try white.
For years color experts have
been gathering such data on the
emotional effects of colors in
room decoration, but not until
now has this data been put to
work. This Spring, you can get a
quick 'but thorough course in
paint color use from a new guide
book put out by one of the big
paint companies.
This book is a whopper—it
■weighs eight pounds and has over
a hundred pages with two-foot-
.sqiia.re color-photos of beautiful
homes and rooms — and any
householder can borrow it from
d master painter or study it at a
paint store.
With the new book, called The
Sherwin-Williams Paint and Col
or Style Guide, one can now see
what a point color looks like be
fore it’s spread on the walls, and
can see it in many different
rooms and settings. The effect is
like visiting a hundred model
homes with a guide to tell you
just what color paint to specify
to achieve each effect.
Typical of the data on emo
tional effects of color gathered
by Sherwin-Williams color experts
arc the following excerpts from
the book:
Red—is the first color choice
of women. It is a stiTnulaling col
or—an all American color. No
other color can compare with red
when you want attention value or
to add a striking accent note in
a room. A red chair-—or a taule
in Chinese Red—or red for the
interior of a china cabinet—these
are accents that are sure to help
many decorative schemes, other
wise lacking in life and vitality.
Red has become an important
kitchen trim color—an accent in
white kitcaens that is bright,
vivid and stimulating. In bath
rooms, too, red is an ‘ at home
color and universally liked. In

Questions
Answered By
State College
Question: Would you advise
destroying the tobacco plant beds
after they have been used?
Answer: Absolutely. The bed
should be plowed up ioimedlately
after the plants are pulled and
a 1 I remaining plants killed.
Thousands of insect pests breed
upon the plants that are allowed
to grow and these spread to the
olanis in the field. The beds
should be planted to sweet pota
toes or other garden vegetable or
?own with soybeans. This will
■lid in the control of insects a.s
well as provide an additional
crop on the land.
playrooms, red i.s usually used to
add gaiety to the setting and most
any housewife will choose red as
he;- first paint color for odds and
ends.
Red has range. In its lighter
pa.stel pinks and old rose, it is a
‘.'eauliful bedroom color: in its
deep tones it is gaining favor for
living and dining room decora
tion.
For exteriors, red is an equally
important color. It is a natural
color contrast to the green foliage
that surrounds a liotise. A white
or cream-gray house with red
shutters may he seen in all parts
of the country—and always seen
to advantage: And on the porch of
this house—or any house in any
color comhination, porch furni
ture painted red is rightly and
brightly part of the house, yard
and home.
White: In paint, with all due
consideration to all colors, one
color lead.? all the rest. It is the
base for most light tints. It is
the favorite in Colonial or mod
ern setting, it is most widely
used hut still is surprising in its
possibilities. It is white.
A white house i.s the house you
see most often. Why? Because
white is light, it is stimulating
bright, clean and cool. Any color
can be used successfully ivith
while. For the same reason, kitch
ens are white, most bathrooms
have white equipment, white
trim. In living and dining rooms,
white has a great vogue right
now. It is a perfect setting for
any color, be that color in car
pet. furniture, pictuies, or in all
three.
White reflects more light, more
heat than any other color. A
white enamel is the acme of
cleanliness. So for any very dark
rooms, be sure to give white con
sideration. If you are ever in
doubt about a ceiling color, use
white. For white is the best light
reflector, always a safe color for
the ceiling regardless of the col
or of walls. With deep tone wall
colors, white also takes on added
importance as an Incidental colqr.
Porch furniture, nursery piec
es, odd chairs are not only at
tractive in white, but doubly so
when the white is trimmed with
a touch of another color.

Qn^ion: ^Wbat is the
method of applying fertiliser .t»
vegetable cro|»?
Answer: Recent experimeals ■
with feriillzer placement (or
crops show that placing the fetll*
User in narrow bands on each side
of the seed is the most desfraUe.
This prevents too great a concea-
tration of fertilizer salts near
roots of the plants, espeeiallr
during.the seedling stage. F^M-
tieally the same results are ofc-
talned if the application is made
in the row a week to ten days
fore planting. The terUllwd
should be thoroughly mixed iriti
the soil. Where the rows ad
spaced close enough to reqat*
band cultivation, broadcast appd
cations are desirable.
