TODAY’S HOROSCOPE
The keynote of this day is Aspira
tion. There is a disposition to ad
venture.! Artistic in taste, thesd
natures are too prone to become eas
ily corrupted and guarding against
this they are well-minded. There is
a great tendency toward Oriental cus
toms and travel.
We can imagine the material state
of Soviet Russia, Germany, Italy ana,
Japan, by visualizing what our civiliza
tion would be if it were tremendously
State-controlled.

They have just come from Bet's New

for questioning in connection with
the whereabouts of an acquaintance
and alleged forger named Jarecki.

**AUN 7 T MINNIE, do stop ram

Addison looked at’ Bet, a little
shocked. He already likeu Aunt
Minnie. But Aunt Minnie was so
used to being sat on by Bet that she
answered her. sweetly unconscious.
“Rambling, darling? Why. I
wasn’t rambling at all, I was ex
plaining to Mr. Huntingdon why I
was so sure of dear Florrie’s loyalty.
Because of course poor papa’s selling
6ft the land made a difference. It
ehanged our status with many of the
Dnore unthinking and purse-proud
people. Especially when papa didn’t
get any money after all, owing to
something they called reorganizing.
Though.it was all the same men and
really I think they must have been
iishonest. But Florrie simply said,
Well, dear- Minnie, my advice to
you is to call on all th% new people
in these houses and keep in touch
with them. They will then feel so
cially welcomed and will not be an
antagonistic element, and yet (as
you can’t give large affairs any
more) it won’t obligate the rest of
us beyond my own New Year's ro
coption yearly, which is free to all.'”
Bet snorted.

HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH, FRIDAY, JANUARY" 4, 1936
most $3,000,000 a year which the State
will receive from Federal funds, thus
making the State’s contribution only
slightly more than $7,000,000 a year.
5. More effective use of the State’s
prisoners in the maintenance and
building of highways.
6. That the salaries of highway em
ployes, thousands of whom have been
working for omy $35 a month or less
for the past year and a half, be in
creased at least 20 per cent, which
would restore half of the 40 per cent
cut in salaries made by the 1933 Gen
eral Assembly.
7. That an adequate safety program
be put into effect adequately financed
to reduce the heavy loss of life and
property resulting from automobile
accidents, including a State drivers
license law and an enlarged highway
patrol.
In the explanatory foreword of his
report, Chairman Waynick points out
the conditions under which the 1933
Genera] Assembly worked, in the
darkest days of the depression and
the extremes to which it went in re
ducing appropriations and cutting sal
aries, with the result that, for the past
year and a. half the highway depart
ment has been limited to an appro,
priation of only $6,900,000 a year for
the maintenance of all the road and
the prison department included, as
compared with the $10,000,000 a year
it had formerly been getting for
maintenance alone. This cut in ap
propriations was done because when
the 1933 legislature was in session it
was estimated that the highway re
venue would not amount to more than
$17,000,000 a year, while they have ac
tually amounted to about $22,000,000
a year. This increae in revenues has
built up the surplus in the highway

“Elizabeth, my dear,” he said, ‘I
■ hope you are not in earnest in say
ing that you disapprove of anything
earnest and civic. In these times it
' is a cause for great regret that more
earnestness and civic Interest are not
: displayed.”
If Leila had been Bet she would
havo turned on him Leila even be
; came slightly clanni h for the mo
n •■r: ' .felt. ' jriou with a strange
oung man for walking in here and
' telling her sister how to behave.
But lo and behold, Bet took it and
> liked it!
“I didn’t mean that,” she said, even
with a slight note of apology in her
voice. It was the first time anybody
’ (except her nurse, who had spanked
her) had ever heard an apology' out
of Bet. “U’s just that the Johnston-
I ledges ruu things the way they
want them themselves, and pretend
it’s unselfish and noble.”
Leila said nothing to this. She had
i never considered it much one way or
: the other. If you have a childlike
aunt and an irresponsible sister, you
■ are tied down to the concrete prob
lems of the days as they come. At
least it did not deserve the further
rebuke Addison—with their collar
and tie and shirt on him at that
moment, and their guinea hen inside
him! —calmly offered.
"Elizabeth!” Addison said in a
voice that he certainly must have
inherited from his father, it was so
, dogmatic,. "1 don’t approve of old
, fashioned dogma. But don’t you
realize that you have no right to
: judge your friends as easily as you
do? What have you done for the
state ?”
And Bet never pouted even. She
• continued to look at him with rever
ence.
s As for Aunt Minnie, she smiled
I absently and said, “Yes, indeed.” To
her, men were a species of all power
, ful children, unreasonable deities,
capable of the gift or the thunder-
I bolt, but no* what you paid atten
i tion to really.
“As I was saying.” she went on,
i “Florrie came today with little Orton
lo tell me about this dreadful per
i formance on the part of the im
! provements.’’
i | As - Aunt Minnie spoke the word,
; ; n improvement might have been
either a low type of plague germ or
band of irreclaimable savages.
• Not that some of my best friends
don’t live in Improvements,” she
• added charitably. “Now where Is
j that list of people to be telephoned
| *-<* that Florrie gave me? Some of

fund which it is estimated will a r..
mount to about $11,961,572 by July X,
1935, - Put Chairmna Waynick points
out that more than $9,000,000 of this
is now needed to bring tneh ighways
and bridges- back to as good condi
tion as they were in on July 1, 1933.
“The inadequacy of the present
maintenance provisions is not realiz
ed fully by the public yet, although
complaints about the conditions of
the roads pour in faster every day,’’
Waynick says in his report. “The en
gineers and other agents of the com
mission know that deterioration of
the roads for another two years pe
riod of similar maintenance would be
disastrous. The roads were in good
condition generally at the beginning
of tlie present biennium. July 1, 1933.
The engineering forces' have just
made a survey with a view to esti
mating the cost of bringing them back
to that state of repair which char
acterized them on July 1, 1933.”
A brief summary of this survey and
estimates is as follows:
Needed for state roads ....$2,609,212
Needed for county roads .... 3.543,837
Needed for bridges 3,433,000
Total •• $9,585,048
In connection with the request of
the Highway Commission for an im_
mediate appropriation of $3,000,000 to
be used during the balance of this
fiscal year in a program of road and
bridge restoration, Chairman Way
nick says:
“Engineering surveys reveal the
existence of approximately 5,000 wood
en bridges in our secondary road sys
tem needing repair or replacement.
Some of them are dangerous. A
rapidly rising stack of reports of per
sonal and property damage as the

' whether it would be quicker to do it
herself, or—which was the alterna
tive —find number after number for
her aunt, get the people in question,
’ and deal them out to Aunt Minnie
, one by one till all the conversations
were over. Aunt Minnie had never
' been able to take telephoning easily;
unless Leila bore the brunt of it, a
session of the sort she so light
; heartedly assumed made ber ill so»
’ two days following.
I “Tell me more about the improve
ments,” said Addison with—could it
’ be real interest? “Indeed, 1 should
. like to know what an improvement
1 is -”
Aunt Minnie, who was accustomed
I to talking on in spite of a half fear
■ that nobody wanted her to, gazed at
Addison with gratitude, and began
again.
“This is Fernwood Manor. The
• improvements—not that they are,
you know—are Fernwood gardens
and woods and hills and hoUows and
• gates; not that they have any sbeh
1 things,” said Aunt Minnie with just
disapproval. “It’s like a i Wishing
• Well tea room I once got Leila to
drive me 40 miles to wish at —things
1 were really very bad financially and
you never know what will help— and
there wasn’t any well, It was just
1 that they thought it was a good
name. Nothing but tea, and toast
they had to be told to butter, just
like the English. In fact, they were
: English.”
"And what are they doing that
you don’t like?” Leila asked In
mercy.
“Weil, it seems that the manor,
that is, of course, the real Fernwood,
owns a bathing beach. Os course
only property owners living here can
use it. The Improvements haven’t
any waterfront except a big marsh
beyond Fernwood gardens. Up to
1929 the others w r ere very scornful
about our beach, they went off to
fashionable beach clubs, bui since
then they haven’t wanted to afford
clubs. So they are trying to stir up
enough votes at the village meeting
to vote that we share our bathing
with all the Fernwoods. Os course,
we have till October 10 to Influ
ence public opinion,” said she. ob
viously quoting her friend So I
have a lot of civic duty ahead of mo
influencing public opinion. The
Madison name still stands for some
thing, I am proud to know."

result of reliance upon the service
ability of these bridges is causing: the
commission deep concern
"In urging the General Assembly
not to delay until the beginning of
a new fiscal year and biennium to
provide funds for better maintenance,
we are asking for no more than we
estimate can be spent frugally and ef
fectively. V
“It would not be our purpose to
tear up the surface of passable roads
during the winter months in using
the other $2,000,000 requested, but the
rebuilding of the shoulders of hard
surfaced roads and the spreading of
gravel and stone are work excellently
suited much of the remaining time of
the present fiscal year.”
Chairman Waynick also goes into
a detailed discussion of the needs for
new construction, pointing out that
there are still 3,500 miles of State
highways not yet paved.
