Making Preparations
For N. C. Relief Work
Commission Headed by Dr. Morrison Are Inves
tigating Conditions In North Carolina; Com
munities Are Expected to Help Themselves
Some; Persons Able To Work Must Work
For What They Get
By M. R. DUNNAGAN i
i
RALEIGH, Aug. 22 Extensive j
preparations and investigations are
being made by Dr. Fred W. Morrison
named by Governor Gardner as State ,
director of relief, working with Mrs.'
W. T. Bost, superintendent of pub-',
lie welfare; E. B. Jeffress, chairman,
of the State Highway Commission;:
Dr. J. M. Parrott, State- health of-j
ficer, and other agencies, for relief,
and relief work of the needy and un- j
employed in the State this winter,!
with what the State- will receive of.
the $300,000,000 to be handled by
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion. ' Dr. Morrison told city and town
officers at their meeting Saturday at
Hendersonville that the best way to ;
!
secure lunas is ior counties anu mu
nicipalities to do their best to take
care of their own relief work as far
--J !. I .! J I
as possible, then the Federal funds;
will do what they are unable to do. j
These funds are to supplement and
not to be substituted for local relief. I
The highway construction funds
of about $5,700,000 for this State is
a different fund. This money will be
used in State highway construction, I
the first contracts for which were let,
last week and amounted to about i
$900,000. Others will be let soon and
before long the entire program will1
be under way. Ex-service men with
depennedts are to be given prefer-)
ence, then any men with dependents
then unemployed men in general, j
Contractors are to use workers whose 4
names are supplied by the welfare
organizations as far as they will go.
Zones have been created around the
projects started, from which labor is
to be drawn, and other zones will be
created around other later projects.
The other relief fund, to be admin
istered through Dr. Morrison, is to
be used for county highway work,
separate from the State highway
work, but handled also by the State
Highway Commission. Workers who
do not get on the State jobs will be
used as far as possible. Funds will
be distributed to the needy gratis on
ly when there is no one in the family
able to work.
Short crops, probably a hard win
ter and other causes are expected to
make problems more acute and the
suffering more intense the coming
winter than it was last winter, which
was unusually mild and followed a
good food crop year.
.Might Ct la Cabinet
Governor O. Max Gardner has an
excellent chance of becoming a mem
ber of the Cabinet as Secretary of
Agriculture, if Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt is elected President, ac
cording to opinions seeping down
from Washington. Prominent Wash
ington leaders are said to be picking
a Roosevelt Cabinet and are including
the . North Carolina Governor in the
list.
The two governors are on mighty
good terms, one indication having
been the incident in Richmond, Va.,
when Governod Roosevelt and
ernor Gardner were supposed to visit
historic places in Virginia with the
other Governors attending the Gover
nor's Conference some months ago,
but slipped off and spent about two
hours in close conference. Governor
Gardner's live-at-home program is
known to have struck a popular ap-
peal throughout the nation and many
. i a i ii ;
other states are now following his
lead in striving to get farmers to
grow what they need .to eat and feed
their stock first, then devoting odd
times to money crops,,- ,
Josephus Daniels, under whom Gov
ernor Roosevelt served as assistant
Secretary of the Nary, is expected to
be "sitting pretty" too, but might be
given an ambassadorship if bis age
permits him to accept any post of
fered. .

Monday on business.
Carteret County now has greater
prospects for the hard surfacing of.
two segments of its roads than it has
had for some time, it is said. The
tions from the sections through which
these roads run have been to Raleigh
recently and have been given audi
ence by E. B. Jeffress, chairman of
the N. C. Highway Commission. These
delegations have presented their
"cases" to him and it is understood
that the paving of these two roads
will be given serious consideration by
the Highway Commission.
Under the terms under which the
Federal government made available
to the Sate funds for road construc
tion, it is said that it will be impos
berg road with the Federal money,
sible to pave the Smyrna-Marshall-owing
to the fact that this road is
not in the projected state system.
However, the Marshallberg delega
tion was given to understand that the
Highway Commission desired to pave
the Smyma-Marshalberg road, and
would very likely do so sometime ia
the near future from the regular
funds made available here in the state
for the construction of roads.
In respect to the construction of a
highway from Beaufort to Harlowe,
it is understood that Chairman Jeff
ress i3 contemplating coming down
here within the next few days and
will look over the prospective pro
ject. Several district highway men
have been here lately and are said
to look with favor upon the construc
tion of this road. The Beaufort- Har
lowe road run3 throughout one of the
best farming sections in Carteret
County and goes very close to two
imrjortant Crave.n Cnnntv furminm
the paving of these roads are still
"hanging fire," but it is said that the
prospects are now .much brighter. It
depends largely now upon the im
pression made upon Chairman Jeff
ress when he comes down here to
look over the sections through which
the roads run.
The Beaufort-Harlowe road serv
es a farming section that each year
produces hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of truck and other ag
ricultural produce; while the Smyr-na-Marshallberg
serves hundreds of
fishermen and oystermen at the Core
Sound comunity, and each year an
incalculable amount of water pro
duce is sent on to market over this
highway.
