PAGE TWO IM Gives Direct Contacts With Vast Host of Parents in Election Year ’ Dally Dispatch Dnreaii, In The Sir Waller Hotel, Ily .1. C. KASK';:itVILL ■Raleigh, Feb. 22.—There is political Significance as well as news interest in the announcement just made by State Superintendent of Public In* struction Clyde A. Erwin to the effect that a survey of school plants will be made at once, for which a PWA grant j of $52,700 has been received and which will give employment to 115 workers to be supplied by the PWA but who will work under the director of W. F. ! Credle, director of school house plan ning of the State Department of Pub lic Instruction and the National j Youth Administration. In the course J Os the survey, according to the pros- ; pectus announced, these 115 surveyors j •—enough to provide one for every County and 15 left over —will not only j complete information concerning the J school buildings and their equipment, | but will also collect data concerning j the school population in every district j data on assessed valuations, school ; tax rates in those districts which still : levy school taxes in those districts j which still levy school taxes, teach ing personnel and teacher loads. Cover Transportation. The survey will also cove- transpir-' tation facilities in each district, which' will be mapped to show roads travell ed by school buses, road conditions and the geographical location of every school child in each district, although ■ transportation, bus routes and allied 1 matters are under the direction of the State School Commission rather than the Department of Public Instruction. If the School Commission should fle-' eide to make a survey into *my branch exclusively under the direction the Department of Public Instruc tion a tremendous howl would •>r.. from the school forces, it is agi« \ t Contact Parents. In order to get a complete record i of the school population and of pro-. petty values, it will be necessa*"' for j the workers in the survey to tal ! the parents of all the 900,000 children now in the State school system, aiso their names and addresses, it is ag-1 need. This will give the education de-I partment a valuable and up-to-date ] mailing list of all school patrons j which might be of value to a an did- i ate running for nomination t the; June primary. It was announced that i efforts will be made to complete ,v ie survey by June. Supt. Erwin is a can didate for the Democratic nomiqr non to succeed himself as State Suoerin- j tendent in the June primary, although , he already has two opponents. It is • also pointed out that the portion of the survey designed to show the value j of taxable property may furnish the! school forces with some valuable am- | munition in their campaign to get j mored istricts to vote more local j taxes for schools.

And New England is not yet looked j upon as wholly lost. If factories and j mills become very busy New England j workers may take a favorable view of j the New Deal. They are beginning to see, too, that I the AAA processing taxes were not ; wholly responsible for the lack of bus- j iness in New England textile mills. The administration contends its argu- j ment was correct: New England mills I had not kept pace with the competi- j lion of southern mills. Now, with the j processing taxes gone, the argumnet: is gaining ground. But ■ what will the administration '‘throw" to the New England work ers?

BORAH’S STANDING? A poll taken by the president of the Ohio Federation of Republican clues “shows" how the Ohio delegation’s vote would be split if the national convention were held today. Landon would recei% r e 27 votes, Knox -15 and Borah 10. But the popular vote in the May 12 primary may tell a different story— | and probably will. An endeavor is being made to have j Governor Landon, instead of Colonel Knox or a “favorite son" compete m ; the May 12 Ohio primary. Fear is ex j pressed, unless the “strongest” can j didate takes the field against Senator I Borah, he may win the Ohio dele- I gates. Study Being Made Os Honor System At the University Chapel Hill, Feb. 21—The student body at the University of North Carolina likely will decide within the next month the future of that insti tutions’ historic honor system, found ed in 1576 by President Kemp Battle, according to present indications. A special student committee, ap pointed by Francis Fairley, student body president, and headed by Phil Hammer, o.’i c- of Tl.e Daily Tar j Heel, is working strenuously this ; week in preparing special ballots for ; each student, which will contain a ! complete factual presentation of the j honor system, scientifically analyzed ' and historicall ytreated, and.a detach able sheet upon which will be present ed four or fwe fundamental issues in the for mos questions to be answered ,by each student and faculty member.

State’s Highways Further Damaged worn rage One.) | slick places where films of ice formed in sections where the temperature is still below freezing. “.We are not worried so much about i the snow on the surfaced highways as we are about the effect on the unsur faced roads and the additional delay it will cause in our getting to work on .them," Raise said. .Closed to Heavy Trucks. Some .2,000 miles of surface treat ed highways damaged by snow, rain and freezing temperatures, are being closed to trucks of five tons gross weight or more just as rapidly as the signs closing these roads can be erected, W. .Vance Raise, chief high way engineer of the State Highway and Public Works Commission, said i today. There are 3,800 miles of sur- | face' treated highways in the State, but indications are that not more than 2,000 miles of these roads will have to be closed to truck traffic, Raise said. A plan has also been worked out with the State highway patrol under which patrolmen in the districts in which these roads are located will pa trol the roads to enforce the ruling of the highway commission barring all trucks of -10,000 pounds or more gross from these roads, Raise said. Drivers j of trucks who violate the ruling of the I commission will be arrested and j brought into court. To Prevent Further -Damage. Several days ago the highway com mission decided to close these roads in order to prevent further damage to them. It is estimated that already the highways in the State, principally! the surface treated and clay and dirt j highways, have been damaged to the j extent of about $3,000,000 while the highway department has already lost over $1,000,000 in revenue from the gasoline tax as a result of the bad ; weather.

Stop For Cars Traffic experts have timed care less drivers and safe, careful driv ers in numerous tests conducted in various American cities and have found that the careful driver gets to his destination almost as quickly as the reckless motorist. Recently such a test was con ducted in Detroit. Several drivers drove across the city in a reckless manner; they “jumped” signal bells, failed to stop when street cars stop ped, overran arterial highway signs and in numerous other ways flout ed the traffic rules. The other group drove carefully, observed all the traffic rules, stop ped when street cars stopped, fol lowed the rules of common sense driving. The reckless drivers, on an average, crossed the entire city of Detroit only three minutes ahead of the careful drivers. | It doesn’t pay to try to get there ahead of the game. It does pay to observe the traffic rules. Stop when the street car ahead of you stops. It may drop a passenger just as you come op posite. The passenger may stum ble, or may become bewildered. ; Give him a chance—and give your self a chance.

All of them, however, come und£r the general heading of cir culatory disturbance of the small blood vessels of tbs leet. * This may be due to chilling and possibly could be remedied by 'elevation -of the :feet before going -to bed. bathing alter nately in hot and cold water before retiring, and the use of woolen .socks (not in bed—in the day time). more rigid con trol of indus tries.

Feb. 22.—<AP)-Tho toll of a fire which swept through the Norwegian steamer Gisla, loaded with nearly 5,000 tons of highly inflam mable nitrate of soda, mounted today to one dead and 21 injured. Fireman George J. Reis was drown ed in a pool of water on the docks to which the Gisler was tied. He was found face down in the pool after an" explosion aboard the ship. Another fireman also was found un conscious in the pool, but was drag ged to safety. The others injured suf fered from smoke, fumes, exposure and cuts and bruises. More than 1,000 explosions occurred, firemen estimated, since the fire was discovered late yesterday in the ship’s cargo.
