T, ftp t) TODAY and TOMORROW (By Prank Packer Stockbridge) SHORTAGE . . . tt*t6rish Just as everything seemed to be set for a building boom that would tuke up much of the slack in employ ment. it turns out that there ia a definite shortage otf building mater ials of al| kinds. There is almost no himber to be had at any price in the East, and such as there iia oasts tram a third to a more t*"" it did .a yav, ago. The same is true o? bricks, cement and other building tLafcerials, and the market is almost bare of plumbing and heating sup plies. The strikes in tihe glass iaidu.st.ry have made it seem foo&fa to build a bouse now, when tfindow glass is almost unbuyable. There never M as a time, in my life, ; when it was so eaay to get money to buy or build a home, There h.is never been such a chantage of homes. But I'm afraid that home !:uildiiig is going to bo pretty costly until the supplies of building Ma terials are repleniahd. BOOKS ,> price? Some of my fmeuds in the book trade are rejoicing over the Suprem? Court's decision that any a tat o may pass a law, as sever.nl Irtvu doue, i*:r mittting vfte producer of a trade marked article to fix the retail price below which no dealer may poll it. My friendi admit that this wtiUl not increase the aule of books, but it will insurj greater profits for pub lishers and booksellers. To me any law which prevents anyone from reducing tho price oi anything to the consumer seems wor e than silly. All such efforts to discournge competition end up by raising thr* cost of living for every body. ~Whxt if-a few Wjr store* ?sll books at out prices? Isn't thai, in the long run, a benefit t*> the reading public t Tho book busines? is a qneer r?ne, anyway, We Americans are not great book readers. We g*jt most of our reading from mnguzimes an*' newspapers. If some way could be found to. :nake it as easy for people to get. booVs as it is now to g**t mag azines. I'd be for fcf. FOXES ge* 7 Northern Xcw York st>te f,*inre,v aro being bothered by gray foxe.4, which after killing off most of the rabbits, are beginning to raid chieken-coops. That is something new, For years it has been the red fox which has beeen considered the chief oest in rural regions in the East. The gray fox is ? native of this country, and diffeo-s in most of its habita from tb? European red fox. Red foxes were brought to America (by sportsmen about 100 yeara ago und turned loose 011 Long Island to furnish sports for hunters. They have multiplied so fast that no>w red foxes are commoner than the native grays from Virginia north. Naturalists say that the Artie white fox ia the gray fox in his winter cfoat, and that the bkick and "silver" toxes are his cousins, All kinda of foxes eut mainly field niic* rabbits and insects and none of them do half as much damage to poultry yarda as nany folks) imagine. WILDCATS . , . down east Up in my old home county of Berk shire, Massachusetts, wildcat hunters have had a hard year of it. Anou- d Monterey there is usually a heavy "bag" of wildcats, for which tiie <vwnty payg a $10 bounty for every one killed. The night screeching1 and yowling of wildcats on Mount Hun ger used to keep Monterey folk owaka nnd frighten the children. Xow the Berkshire wildcat seem to have been pretty well clea^rd oirt. Thirty-seven were killed in the coun ty in 1935, but only 17 in 19%, although many hunters were out after them. In the 32 years since the bounty went in (no effect, Berkshire haa pa:d out $5.890 for 589 wUdea'*. But if the wildcats ara varnishing, the beaverg are coming back. There are four beaver colonies wow in Berk shire, and one farmer hag asked the Legislature to pay him $2,000 be cause a beaver darn cult off lu3 duiry water supply, ? and he can't legally damage the dam or kill tihe beiavers!

(By Dan Tompkiua) Raleigh, January 13.?Now that the pomp and circumstance of the inauguration of Governor Roey is lover, and the members of the Gen eral Assembly are returning' from Ui?ir homes from the week-eml visit, tb*t body is about to get dow:i to real bifiincss. Tho corrmittees in both Hoose and Senate have been appointed and are ready to begin functioning. Most of the members are hopeful thlat an adjournment cm be effected early in the Spring; but a lot of w.itegc has got to flow under 'the mill before that oan be possible. The task is a huge one. Governer floey hue outlined a program that c*Bs for real work and real states manship to effect and to finance. He left out neither the old nor the young whan he recommended Old Age Prn aionA and Free School Books, ?? well as increased pay for teachers, tliough he pointed out tiat the effec tiveness of a pilMie. school nor of a pubfce .school gy?tem cauuot be ineus '.vrcd by liie uNsount of lax money that is spent on it. Then there is the matter of put ting iujto effect the Constitutional Ameuoweuta voted on by the people at the last genneral election? the exemptions of Homesteads from taxation, the increase of the income tax on the higher brockets, and the claasifieation of property for taxa tion. Homestead exemption* ind classification of property present a la(rge order, thoagh the Governor in 1 ima ted tat both should be approach ed aa matters calling for 4 high or der of statesmanship, and that it might even be wise to Qas* them uj? ft this u*aion and aut bonze the appointment of a-commission to make a thorough study of the ques tions and report at the next General /assembly. Th? Jirat bil^ House Bill Nip.l. in tioduced by Mr. Lunrpkin, of Frank lin, and Mr. Spruill, of Bertie, called for the disoontinnance of absentee baMotting in primaries and general cNitions. It had a ?ompa;.iou nwa . wre House Bill No. 2, which provided tor doing away with markera in ejec tions. House Bill No. 3, introduced by the aamc two gentlemen at tlie same time, would prohibit aiiyo.c exccjrt a voter, preparing his ballot entering a voting booth. These bill* were rai'erml to the Committe*- on litation Laws, of which Mt. Jone<*, oi Swain, u chairman. Senator Ben nctt, of Swain, is chairman of Elec tion (iiiwj committee in the Senate. Mr. Lumpkin, it will be remembered, was manager of the campaign of Dr. McDonald, last summer, and Mr. Spruill was on< of his most ardent supporters. Thus the McDonddite* started the ball roiling to teat out their strength in the General Assem bly, by the introduction of these three bills on the very flrat day of the session, and before Governor Hoey hud taken the oath of officio or made his initial speech to the GencrJ Assembly end the State.
