The Federal Board for Vocational Education statistics show that the farm boys Between the ages of 14 and 20 Onumber 111,939 and that they comprise 14.7 per cent of the state’s entire male population.

Southern Cross Lands In Newfoundland The fliers experienced almost per fect weather .until they approached the Newfoundland coast, when the trio almost came to Am unfortunate end as fog enshrouded the plane. For more than an hour the aviators Certainly no more, and possibly less, than 80 per cent of the legis lative appropriation will be allotted State departments and (agencies dur ing the first quarter of the coming fiscal year. Governor Gardner has notified department heads in recent budget memorandums. The prospects of a balanced Budget are “not near so good,” he stated, and urged all State officials to reduce expendi tures more than 20 p’r cent below the budget if possible. The quarterly allotment, once made, will not be increased, said the ex j officio .head of the budget “If there are any difficulties in the way of qarrying out the operations of any organization within the al lotment they must be presented at the beginning of the quarter. No additional (allotments will be made for the first quarter.” Reduction of field personnel was hinted at, if not recommended, by the Governor, who stated: “Personnel that is in field work should not be continued in employ ment if travel expense is not avail able, and if they are not able to perform the duties for which they are engaged.” In the following paragraph Goyer- nor Gardner struck a note often heard in less official circles: “In travel expense, too, all travel I out of the Sfate and travel to con ventions and conferences should be eliminated.” The Governor asked the co-opera tion of every department head in eliminating every unnecessary ex pense (and reducing necessary expen ses as far as possible. “The- sub- mission to the next General Assembly of a balanced budget that will be wKm "“* K" TG “'" “““^o Sfaij. to both the departments and flew blindly jn the darkness and but (institutions and activities of the State for radio stations providing them P. S. (Pat) Kornegay, qandidate in the second primary to be held July 5 for the office of Sheriff of Robeson County, spoke from a box on Main Street Monday night to a large crowd of voters. Opening ihlis talk with the asser tion that in the race for sheriff there were no issues to discuss as is the case in races for other offices Mr. Kornegay promised the voters an efficient, honest and sober per formance of his duties if. elected. The speaker seemed to be especially ,bent upon the breaking up of the soqalled Court House ring, mo mem ber of which would personally harm a hair on his head yet all were working overtime to defeat him for the sheriff’s job. " Mr. Kornegay invited all present to ask him ( any questions, stating that he had rather answer questions than try to make a talk. In ans wer to the question if he had ever voted the Repui lica.n ticket as charg ed by his opponents he stated that he was born and reared in Duplin County where he lived until eighteen years old and they just wont let you vote in Duplin county until you (are twenty fine years old. Si nce the age of eighteen he has lived in Robeson county and has ahvavs voted the straight Democratic tick et. No other questions were asked th e speaker who decfared it to be the most statisfied crowd he had ever seen. Citizens Military Training Camp Has Good Appearance , “The Fort Bragg Citizens Military Training Camp gives the appearance of orderliness and cleanliness the minute you enter it,” said Brigadier General L. R. Holbrook, commanding general of Fort Bragg and the CMTC, this morning after spending the night in a tent at the camp. “Of course, “said General Holbrook, “everything has been freshly painted and a good deal of hard work has been done incident to the young men coming here, but the work has been well done, and much of it is more or less of a permanent nature.” General Holbrook said that he was very much surpised at the superior appearance of the students of this camp, and that while there are a good many boys in camp- in a general way it is a very intelligent body of young men and that they give a good Impression of what the young men in this section are.. The General believes that the young men coming here learn a great deal about the correct mode of Jiving by the sani tary arrangements they see, the cleanliness and orderliness and regu- Lr routine of life, and the con- fa^s ^y niake > and that they will be fully repaid for the time they are giving, regardless of any mili tary training they may get. H^ook thinks that the is one of the most impor- fant military activities we have, on account of the great number of young men who gather at the right time and have a start in the right Way of thinking and doing, so that in case lof an emergency they already nave the proper viewpoint of military service and can much more quickly adapt themselves to it than if they had never had any contact with it . That fr °m the little mili tary training they get here they get a much better idea of how military people live and what military life is. Th e people on the outside too often get an entirely erroneous viewpoint of how military people live. He be lieves that the training during this one month will go a long way to ward giving the boy a correct idea about military life, which he other wise never would get.
