It limits cuts in the salaries of

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 bill carries a 10 per cent sal-

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.

well as electric fans, radio, electric
washing machines, vacuum cleaners,
electric stove and electric heaters.
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.

\ "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. Henninger, execu-

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."
