Appropriations bill conferees will meet again Wednesday to decide whether the state will appropriate $15,200,000 or $16,500,000 for the current expenses of the six months school term. The conferees had a report con taining the lower figure signed and ready to submit Tuesday night, when they were informed of Dr. A. T. Al len's statement before the house education committee that the high er figure was absolutely necessary ;to carry into effect the compromise ! school bill passed Tuesday by both ! houses. f j The difference between the two | figures. Dr. Allen said, is the dif ference between a 10 per cent cut .in teachers salaries and a 20 per | cent cut. The school bill limits the i cut to 10 per cent. | Taking the house appropriation bill as a basis, the committee pro duced a bill carrying $1,969,000 less in expenditures than the house had i approved. Educational institutions and state departments, already slashed dras ! tically by the budget bureau and the I house committee were further re duced $119,100, while the six ; months' school term appropriation was cut from $17,000,000 to $15,- j 200,000. In addition, the emergency | fund for schools was cut from $200,- j 000 to $150,000. The $1,500,000 of | state aid for the extended school t term was left unchanged. Educa i tional institutions were cut heavily, ! but a provision was inserted that i the salaries of college professors I should not be cut more than those of public school teachers. University Gets $721,000. The University of North Carolina will receive $721,000 annually which is $3,000 below the appropri ation made by the house and $38,- 000 below the senate appropriation.

The submarine, "Nautilus," by means of which Sir Hubert Wilkins hopes to make an undersea dash to North Pole. (Inset) Sir Hubert inspecting the boat's kitchen. , THE expedition of Sir Hubert Wilkins, the explorer, to the North Pole will be the most unusual in the history of the world—an at tempt to explore the polar regions by means of a submarine.. His undersea boat, christened the "Nautilus," after Jules Verne's famous vessel of fiction, will try to travel under the top of the earth and beneath the North Pole. But Sir Hubert has arranged that his crew of twenty will have all mod ern comforts possible. On the trip to the coldest section of the world, the submarine will be equipped with an electric refrigerator and his men will ary cut for all state employes, ex cept constitutional officers. North Carolina State college with an appropriation of $357,800 was the only major educational insti tution not to be cut below the house figure. North Carolina College for Wom en will receive $380,000 for the first year of the biennium and $376,- 000 for the second year. Eastern Carolina Teachers' college was cut to $150,000 and Western Carolina Teachers' college to $60,000. Appa lachain Teachers' college will receive $84,000 and Co-operative extension: service at State College will receive, $123,000. » Pass Redisricting Bill. The house also adopted a new i plan of redisricting the state for ; senatorial districts, introduced by: Representative Edwards of Cleve- j land, which increases the represen- * tation of the west and decreases j that of the east. When first pro- • posed, the plan was voted down, but i later in the session Representative \ Connor of Wilson told the house J that in 1835 blood had been shed in | North Carolina over the question of I representation in the legislature and that it should observe the conditions j put in the constitution at that time ' and recognize the shift of popu lation to the west. The house then voted 33 to 33j on the Edwards bill and Speaker 1 Smith broke the tie in its favor. It comes up for final passage in the house Wednesday and must be ap proved by the senate. Pass Racing Bill. The house Tuesday passed another bill to permit horse-racing and pari mutuel betting and sent it to the senate, where two similar measures have met their death. Representative Neal of McDowell secured suspension of the rules and passage of the house bill on both readings immediately after he in troduced it. He told the house it was like the Buncombe bill, and, despite an effort by Representative Mcßae of Mecklenburg to get a roll call. the house passed the bill on stand ing vote. The track would be near Marion in the mountain resort section. The races would be supervised by the Jockey Club of America, with 18- day seasons in the fall and spring. McDowell county would receive $5,- 000 in taxes daily from the track in addition to 10 per cent of the gross receipts during the season.

The General Electric Company was called in to install the refrigerator and other appliances. While the submarine will travel under the ice, the temperature inside the boat will be such that foodstuffs would spoil without an electric re frigerator. Then, too, while the boat will travel to the North Pole—Land of the Midnight Sun —the crew would get little natural sunlight. TJaat'a the reason for the sunlamps. 666 LIQUID OR TABLETS Relieves a Headache or Neuralgia in 30 minutes, checks a Cold the first day, and checks Malaria in three days. €-6 6 Salve for Baby's Cold \ "Preserve Your Food And Live At Home" Raleigh, May 25. —Backed by Gov- ernor Gardner and his Council on ■ Unemployment and Relief, another , slogan has been added to the "Live- i at-Home" program in North Caro- 1 lina—"Preserve Your Food and Live ' at Home This Winter." The carrying ' ■' out of this slogan through a cam- i paign of education is made necessary i ; at this time, due to the fact thai J . farm crop prices arp, a?most certain ! ;to be much lower this coming sea- " , son than last year, the lack of mon jey in the har.ds of the farmers of ' | the entire state, and the further fact * ? that, in some counties in the state, 1 the entire populace is being support- ' jed by the relief work of the Ameri : can Red Cross, the Federal Farm j Board, the Governor's Council on Unemployment and Relief, and other such organizations. Every state organization is co operating in this movement, to "sell" North Carolina on the necessity of saving through canning, preserving, drying and pickling, of all vegeta ables, fruits and other food crops grown on the farms and gardens o2 the state from now on until cold weather comes. The idea of the j "Live-at-Home" program is to pro- j duce more food and feed, so that whatever moneys the farmer obtain?, j will be "over and above" his foo-1 j and feed costs. The slogan of this past spring, "Farm to Make a Liv ing in 1931," carried with it the food preservation ideal, but that ideal or plan was not pushed so vehemently j last fall or during the winter months, j Now Governor Gardner feels that i conserving and preserving of foods | through many methods is the issu-?. ; before the state. | The Governor's Council is head ing this work, with the hearty back ing of other agencies, in particular; i The State College Extension Service, | under the direction of Dean I. O. J Schaub, director, and Mrs. Jane S. i McKimmon, assistant director 'n charge of Home Demonstration Work acting secretary; the American Red Cross chapters and officials and local representatives of the Federal Farm Board. The coordination of this cam- paign, to educate the people of the state to the necessity of saving their vegetables and fruits by several or dinarily practiced methods, is being handled by R .W.

Canning demonstrations, which were begun on April Ist, in Mar tin county, are now being conducted in a campaign which is moving grad ually westward from its beginning in the east of the state. Mrs. Cor nelia C. Morris, district home agent and acting specialist in food con servation, assisted by Mrs. W. G. Stancil, assistant specialist in food conservation, are doing the work,, under the direction of Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, assistant director of State College' Extension, and Dean I. O. Schaub, director. Home and Farm agents and all districts agents are cooperating in this program, in seeing to it that each township in a given county has representatives present to learn the canning method-? and that these persons go back ami teach the people in their communi ties the necessary methods of vege ! table and fruit preservation. The itinerary of canning demon— strains for the coming two weeks folflf: May 25. Southport; 2(>, Whiteville. 27, Elizabethtown; 28, Fayetteville y and 29, Clinton. June 2, Hiiisboro; 3, Albermarle; 4, Salisbury; and 5-6, Statesville. The campaign will run until the jlast day of July and dates for sued demonstrations will be given wide spread publicity well in advance Literature about canning and other such topics is available and can obtained by writing Mr. Henninger's | office or Editor, State College Ex- I j tension Service, Raleigh. • j Mr. Henninger hopes for the real • | cooperation of every citizen in the . state. "The more nearly 100 per t J cent the cooperation is, the more - j definite and lasting will be the re sults," he said. "For, without doubt, .we are facing a most serious situa - j tion, if our people do not raise much - garden produce and then save it for : winter use." 5 '.
