The instructions were sent, -it was Indicated, after the government had received a report iast night from the German delegation at the disarma they are decidedly pleased at having as much left as they now have. Another factor that has had a good I deal to do with the excellent attitude and spirit with which most of the, employes have accepted their salary cuts and gone on about their work without complaining, has been the r.ize of the cuts given the higher sal arier appointive officials. In the past, one of the loudest complaints voiced by he smaller salaried employes has been that they have had to bear the brunt of the salary cutting while the high salaried employes and depart ment heads have continued to re ceive their big salaries. But this time the officials with the larger salaries have taken for the most part the big gest cuts, except those elected of ficials whose salaries have been fixed by law and which could not be reduc ed by the Personnel Division or the Advisory Budget Commission. In fact, most of the employes have at last come to realize that the State just does not have the money to op erate on the basis It formerly did and that it was a case of either work ing for leas money or facing the pos sibility of being laid off for several months. ;■ ' ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA HENDERSON, N.
