Governor Stands Firm In Opinion Despite Persuasion, Governo. Ehiinghaus, Sees No Need For Fixtra Session N. C. Law Complies Quotes Attorney General Con cerning The Compliance Of Present State Laws Despite the persuasion of many politicians and plain citizens of North Carolina, Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus continues to contend that there is no need for a special session of the state’s legislature to comply with the federal unemploy uuuit iflputancg law. “We have a law which the at torney general of our state says complies,” the governor said, “but the general counsel of the federal social security board rules that it does not because it does not contain the same definition of the word ‘required’ as is contained in the federal act.” Thomas* H. Elliott, 2G-year-old lawyer, is the board’s counsel. The governor said North Caro lina’s law permits an unemploy ment insurance authority to cal) for contributions from employers before they may qualify under the statute but does not require the contributions in the form of a tax, which Elliott, has ruled is neces sary to comply with the federal act. “Not a single manufacturer in North Carolina and only one news paper has asked or demanded a special legislative session,” the governor commented. Meanwhile Dr. Ralph McDonald, defeated Democratic nominee for governor in the summer’s primar ies, issued a statement say “it is certainly to be hoped that the gen eral assembly can be convened be fore the first of the year to act on unemployment insurance.” The biennial session of the legis lature convenes early in January.

It places the chief blame for the increase on pedestrians, and predicts a death total of 37,500 from motor acci dents, 500 more than in 1935. “More persons are walking into trouble this year than last, accord ing to figures for nine months,” said R. L. Forney, who graphs the council’s statistics. “Fatal pedes trian accidents jumped about two per cent for this period while other types of motor vehicle accidents dropped about one per cent.” The trend to pedestrian deaths reverses the* tendency of recent years, he said. From 1927 to 1915 pedestrian deaths increased only 29 per cent while other traffic accident fatalities advanced 57 per cent. While children grow more care less, the council figures indicated, old folks cross streets more warily. Forney found the “most unfavor able” trend in accident deaths among children between five and 14 vears of age, 10 per cent above the 1935 level, while there was a I Reported SETH r“ in Even Split on Federal Aid for ‘Co-ops ‘ r m M Baker Olds 'Miss Bates Gregory Hood Stuart These sis members of the special presidential commission whieji spent six months abroad studying European eonsumei co-operative movements are reported divided three to three on whether they should or shpuld not recommend government aid for development of consumer co-operatives in the United States.

Asheboro’s Postal Receipts Fall Off Postal receipts dropped off in November from the October level,1 registering $4209.41 compared to $5366.36 for October. However November is always a light month, Postmaster J. 0. Redding said, and the receipts this November were above those for the same month in 1935, the figure last November be ing $3782.62.

Gasoline consumption, Forney ] said, was nearly 10 per cent higher than in 1935, but the ratio of deaths to gallons of gas used has decreased. I October maintained its reputa tion as the “most dangerous”, month for motorists and pedes trians, Forney said. The October report reaffirmed the fact that the traffic accident problem is most acute in small | towns and on the open highway. While reporting cities showed a 7 per cent drop in fatalities for Octo ber, smaller communities recorded a 14 per cent increase. New Hampshire, with a 23 per.; cent reduction, topped the list of 16 states showing reductions from their 1935 totals. Others showing reductions for the period ended November 1 were: North, Carolina, 13; Connecticut, 11; New Jersey, 9; Maryland, New York and Vir ginia each 8 per cent; Maine, 7 per cent.

Dailey, who spoke on the third Kiwanis Lyceum pro gram at the Park street school Monday, won the interest of his audience with his opening remarks and held it throughout his address. I Mr. Bailey’s subject was “And What Now?”, but his real theme was how to get the greatest enjoy ment out of life. One of the chief virtues of the talk was the speaker’s inclination to ramble from his point at the slightest opportunity, for Mr. Bailey had a store of information and observances on all subjects. Yet no matter how long he .wand ered he always brought his discus sion around to the point where he had left it so that the audience was never left in the air. Mr. Bailey said that we had just . passed through the yiost interest j ing 25 years of our national exist ence and congratulated those of j his listeners who were about 50 or j older and who had been able to ap ; preciate those years. He spoke of ! the calm period of great expansion j before the World War, that terrible conflict, the frantic post-war era, I the period of highest prosperity, | the depression, and now the recov | ery.

Unique alike in its form and in its claims no other work has made, through countless cen turies, such an appeal to the mind and heart and soul and conscience of mankind as has the Sacred Word. “The American Bible Society has done a noble service now for more than a hundred years by carrying this Book of Books to people all over the face of the earth. I trust that this good work may never be suffered to grow less. Universal Bible Sunday deserves to become one of the most significant days in the church calendar. 1 hope for the observance which the Bible Society is planning for December sixth the fullest measure of success in spreading knowledge of and reverence for the Divine Truths which the Bible holds.” At Park St. School In West Asheboro Program Of Especial Interest To Educators Of County Is Scheduled Reginald Turner To Be In Charge T. Fletcher Bulla, County Superintendent, Will Speak During Morning A county wide meeting of the principals and teachers of Ran dolph county will be held Saturday morning in the new Park street school. Reginald Turner, superin tendent of the Asheboro schools, will preside over the meeting, scheduled to be called to order at • 10 o’clock. A program of especial and- vital interest to the educators of the county has been prepared, and practically all the teachers in the county system will attend, plus most of those from the Asheboro j system. Featured is an address by | Senator H. L. Ingram on “The Possible Program of the Legisla ture As It Relates to Teachers.’’ Also important will be a round table discussion of the legislative program of the North Carolina Educational Association. Opening the program will be music by the Asheboro high school band, followed by group singing. Rev. Howard P. Powell will con duct the devotional exercises. Among the matters to be decid 1 ed at this meeting is the most suitable date for closing the schools for the holidays. County Superintendent T. Fletcher Bulla will give the details of several ottered to the schools and the ' teachers will decide whether to ac I cept any of them. Book rents will ; also be discussed. Mr. Bulla will I also make other routine announce • | ments. I The discussion of the N. C. E J A. legislative program wall be led by Miss Clara Gill, of the Ashe boro faculty, D. C. Holt, principal | of Liberty school, and A. R. Bul 1 lock, principal at Trinity. It con | cerns proposals which the N. C. j E. A. will try to have put through | the legislature, in particular the j following four: teachers’ tenure, retirement legislation, restoration of salaries to the 1929 level and : permission for small districts to j vote supplements if desired. | Probably the most important -f these, said Mr. Bulla, is the one i pertaining to retirement, which is j in keeping with recent federal so 1 cial security legislation. It will likely have provisions based both upon teaching a certain number of years and reaching a certain age limit, neither of which has been I fixed yet. Teachers and the state : would both contribute and it would begin on a small scale and inex pensively. North Carolina educa I tional officers are already working j on it, compiling statistics cox^ern I ing the teachers.
