Raleigh. Dec. 24. While stores are crowded with the last-minute rush of late shoppers and streets thronged with people, the various State depart ment buildings are closed and quiet, to remain so until Tuesday morning For State employe:; are getting the longest Christmas vacation this year they have had in many years, with all day Saturday and Monday off. as 1 well as Sunday, which ia Christmas day. Governor O. Max Gardner, Mrs. Gardner and their family are spend ing Christmas ncre tn Raleigh in-, stead of going to their home In 9hel- ( by. as they usualy do. One reason foi this is that Governor Gardner and hi: family will leave the Executive Man sion January 5 for their home in ■Shelby and that they are so busy get ting ready to leave that they cannot afford the time. Governor Gardner tr especially busy attempting to attend to the thousands of details incident to the closing of his adminisration, his office and the mansion and turning things over o incomting Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus on January 5. Most of the major State officials have their homes here and hence are spending the Christmas recess here. Most of them are also busy prepar ing for the General Assembly, which opens January 4, and are welcomingi this brief breathing spell before the legislative session opens. Those State employes whose homes are outside of Raleigh -and they are many—are taking advantage of the slightly longer vacation to speod Christmas at their homes or with re latives. At least one of the “lame duck" State officials —Frank D. Grist, com missioner of labor, who goes out of office January 5. —started his vaca tion almost a week ago and some doubt whether he will return before he officially goes out of office. 54 Miners Held Prisoner After Mine Explosion Mnwequa, IIU Dec. 24.—(AP)— Fifty-four miners were imprison ed in the cooperative mine of Mowequa. near Decatur, by a gas explosion in an underground shaft at 9:30 a. m. today.
