IS IN PROSPECT Revision of Constitution Is Ex pected to Cause Much De bate in General Assembly. Raleigh, Dec. 29.—Revision of North Carolina's "outgrown" consti j tution by either amendment method j or constitutional convention appar ently will cause much debate in the two houses of the general assembly ■ during the succeeding weeks after they convene here January 4. The legislature will have for its study a complete new draft of the constitution, prepared by a commis sion authorized by the 1931 general assembly and appointed by Gover nor 0. Max Gardner. The decument provides among many changes that the governor be given the veto power, that the exec utive budget be made constitutional, and changes the regulations for var ious branches of government either | from statutory to constitutional bas | is or vice versa. In querying the 170 incoming | members of the legislature on vari ous subjects, The Associated Press asked "do you favor calling a con stitutional convention?" This ques ! tion was asked after the state's vot ers in November had defeated an | amendment to the constitution which would have allowed submission of future proposed changes at special ; instead of general elections. Most of the legislators replying ; to the questions did not answer the Question. The opinion among the others was almost equally divided. Ten who answered said they fa vored a constitutional convention and eight said they did not. Sixteen other written answers did not in clude the subject. R. T. McFEE, FATHER OF REV. C. B. McFEE, DIES AT HIS HOME AT TRYON The Rev. C. B. McFee, of Marion, was called to Tryon last week to at tend funeral rites for his father, who died early Tuesday morning, Dec ; ember 27. R. T. McFee died at his home in | Tryon following an illness of only a few days. Death was caused by pneumonia. Mr. McFee had been a visitor at his son's home in Marion on numer ous occasions during the past three I years. He was well known in Marion and Asheville as well as in Tryon and Greenville, S. C., his former home. A devout Baptist since childhood, Mr. McFee was a carpenter and far mer in the vicinity of Greenville un til 30 years ago, when he moved with his family to Tryon. He had many friends in Tryon and Polk county. His son is a leading watchmaker and jeweler of Marion, having his shop in Tainter's Drug store on Main street. He is chaplain and founder of the Wayside Mission in Marion and is chaplain of the local council of the Junior Order, United American Mechanics. He formerly j owned shops in Asheville and Can ton. The Rev. Mr. McFee is an or dained Baptist minister. In addition to the Rev. Mr. Mc Fee, the aged Tryon resident is sur ' vived by two daughters, the Misses Ruth and Daisy McFee, both of Try on; and two sons, Arnold McFee of Oklahoma, and Henry McFee of Texas. His wife and one daughter, Mabel, died some years ago. 25 MEN BEGIN WORK ON NATIONAL FOREST ROAD ; Burnsville, Dec. 31. -— About 25 men began work Friday on a road being built by the U. S. Government I in the Pisgah National Forest re serve. This road will begin near W. M. Victor's summer home on Seven | Mile Ridge and continue to a point called Nettle Patch, a distance of three miles. The work will be in charge of W. M. Murphy, forest pa trolman. This will be one of the most scenic roads in this part of the state and it is the plan to continue it to Little Switzerland some time in the future. BUS SYSTFM TO REPLACE STREET CARS IN RALEIGH Raleigh, Dec. 30.—Mayor George Isley, of Raleigh, announced tonight that an agreement had been reached between the city and the Carolina Power and Light Company under which a citywide bus system would replace the present street railway system at "an early date." Under the agreement a straight five-cent bus fare will be charged. Street car tickets now are eight cents each or two for fifteen cents. i ROOSEVELT IN ACCORD WITH HOUSE PLANS Ready to Assume Full Respon sibility for Reorganization Would Effect Major Savings Albany, N. Y., Dec. 29. — Presi dent-elect Roosevelt, it became known today, is ready to take full responsibility for the proposed reor ganization of the federal govern ment as a means of effecting major economies. Mr. Roosevelt believes the pro w posed reorganization will be an in surmountable task, it was learned to day, unless the authority and respon sibility for the reorganization are centered in the chief executive. The attitude of the New York governor and President-elect was made clear by his advisers two days aftee he had sejected the proposed general manufacturers sales tax program advanced in Congress as a means of balancing the federal bud get. While Mr. Roosevelt declined to say yesterday whether he believed the budget could be balanced by further economies and extension of the present selective sales tax, his advisers made it clear today that he is willing and believes "his shoulders are broad enough" to take the re sponsibility for consolidation of va rious governmental units in order co reduce governmental costs. Mr. Roosevelt's view is, his friends said, that the chief executive, with the reorganization his responsibility and his only, will be less subject to pressore from organized groups, which may feel their interests are at stake, than the individual members of Congress would be. Under the plan Mr. Roosevelt is now known to have in mind, the in dividual members of Congress would be called upon only for affirmative action of the reorganization measure through their vote on the appropria tion bill. BAPTISTS IN STATE GAVE $2,525,380.00 TO THEIR CHURCH IN PAST YEAR Raleigh, Dec. 29.—North Carolina Baptist churches numbering 2,374 with a membership of 433,046 con tributed $480,484.03 to missions, education and benevolences and to the local work of the churches $2, 044,896.18, making a grand total of $2,525,380.21 during the associo tional year of 1931-32. These figures represent a decline from the previous year in contribu tion to missions, education, and be nevolences of $143,981.18, and a falling off in total contributions to all local church work, missions and education and benevolences of $408, ■595.68 according to Perry Morgan, Raleigh, secretary of Sunday school work and statistical secretary of the Baptist state convention. There were 23,342 baptisms. The net gain in church membership was 12,961 after accounting for losses by erasure, removal, and death of 10,381 members. Banner Sunday School Year In Sunday school.work it was a banner year showing a gain of 19, 394 in the membership of 2,325 Sun day schools which reported an en rollment of 380,800. There are 2,515 Baptist Young People's Unions with a membership of 57,815. The Woman's Missionary Union reported 2,651 organizations with a membership of 44,214 and total con tributions for the year of $221, 621.39. An effort is being made to increase the receipts of the convention for missions, education and benevolen ces, and for all the local church work through an every-meniber can vass which began November 27 and took on southwide and statewide proportions. Results of the canvass have not been made public but it is expected that hundreds of the churches canvassed their member ship for increased contributions. "CLINICS" TEACH FARMERS CONTROL OF CROP BLIGHTS Washington.—Plant "clinics" are the latest means of helping farmers to recognize and fight important dis eases attacking their crops. The clinics have been organized by the Department of Agriculture as an extension of the plan of medi cal clinics and of demonstrations often used in livestock work. When diseases of certain types are occurring in a neighborhood the plant specialist holds a meeting at the orchar, farm, garden or green house where the diseases are preval ent. Those attending bring samples of diseased plants from their own farms, and these are used as illus trations in discussing treatment. — ■ —iummamm, — ■ — .m.i.mm.^ | YOUR CHILD | ( AND MINE 1 Augusta W. Klontz "Mother, would you like me to be a traffic policeman when I grow up?'' The question, asked very gravely by Junior, brought mother out of her reverie with a start. The seven-year - old was always bringing up interest ing topics. "A policeman? I don't believe I ever thought of that before. Why would you like to be a policeman?" "Well, I think the uniform is swell, and a policeman can be outdoors ail the time. He can make the cars go or stop, and everybody has to mind him." "At any rate there seems to be an air of adventure and authority about the guardians of the peace, is that it, Sonny Boy?" . Junior looked puzzled at Mother's long words, but he understood her smile. He nodded his head emphati cally. "Yes ma'am, I know I'd like to be a policeman; I know I would." "All right, Junior. When you gro-> up we can talk about it some more. You will want to study your lessons well in school so you will be a good I policeman." Mother knew that before Junior made his final decision, he would have changed his mind many times. She recalled the experiences of Big ' Brother who had longed to be an en gineer, a policeman, a farmer, an ; aviator and an author. At first she ' had though Brother was too change able, and didn't really know just men sne realized that he was in a way groping for the light; he was feeling his way to understanding and contentment. Youth is a time of vigor and en thusiasm. Wishes assume an undue importance. Their fulfillment is ex pected immediately. This is no time to try argument and reason alone. Youth must learn so many things by | actual experience. The seven-year old cannot understand why he should not be a policeman as well as a mer chant or a miner as well as a far mer. A lad in high school announced firmly, "when I finish school, I am going to get a job where I can wear a white collar." The task before the ! adult is one of direction rather than one of restraint. It the boys and girl? are allowed to explore a little they ! can come to an intelligent decision |about one of the major concerns of life—that of choosing a vocation. Help them, advise them, encour i age them, but let them make the {final decision themselves. There are 1 too many square pegs in round holes | anyway. Let us not do a single thing to add to this number. Help Youth to be "Master of its fate." - GR1SSOM WILL COLLECT TAXES UNTIL OCTOBER Raleigh, Dec. 29.—The Democrats I will not get the post of Collector of i Internal Revenue for the North Car ! olina district before October, unless the then President Roosevelt asks for the resignation of Gilliam Gris som, collector, between March 4 and that'date, and the office of the ! collector will be moved from Ral i eigh to Greensboro in April, unless present plans are upset. Mr. Grissom is likely to hold on ! until October, for, it is recalled, his I appointment was in October 12 years ago, and has been remade each four years for a 4-year period. On ly a request from the President can require him to turn in his bond, i which runs until October, it is stated It is not considered likely that i Senator J. W. Bailey particularly, ; will insist that he be "fired out" be ! fore the four years are up in Octo ber for the very simple reason that | Senator Bailey, as collector for • North Carolina in the Wilson admin istration, was the beneficiary of the Republican administration from March 4, 1920, when President Harding was inaugurated, until Oc tober of that year. He, probably, will not insist now that the Republi can incumbent, Mr. Grissom, be re quired to turn in his bond until the j time is up. The result, in that cage would be. that no Democrat, of the several j seeking the place, would be appoin ted until next October, almost a year ! away. Plans are already completed for moving the collector's office from Raleigh to Greensboro in April, j when the new federal building there is completed and ready for occupan cy. Quarters for the collector's office were included in the plans of that building. "Is your husband much of a provi der, Malindy?" "He ain't nothin' else, ma'am. He gwine to get some furniture, provi den' he gets de money; he gwine to get de money providin' he go to work, providin' de job suits him. I never see such a providin' man in all mah days!" mv cm THE FINEST EVER BUILT Brilliant New Lines New Fisher No-Draft Ventilation (INDIVIDUALLY CONTROLLED) greatest health and comfort factor since the closed body Scores of Engineering Improvements New Comfort and Safety Features ★ you ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND THIS DISPLAY * When Better Automobiles Are Built, Buick Will Build Them ' ' ' Product of General Motors Buick Co.
