Mrs. Bost Discusses
Service At District
Welfare Meeting
"The welfare program in each;
county is as good or as bad as are
the people who have been chosen
to head it," Mrs. Tom Bost, Commissioner
of Public Welfare, told
the 150 welfare officials who had
gathered in the auditorium of the
John Graham high school last Friday
from 19 counties to attend the
Central District Welfare Conference.
Urging every welfare officer present
to throw his or her entire personality
into the work, Mrs- Bost
opined that human understanding
Is a necessary characteristic of the
personnel of each department and
claimed that "you have failed in
your work if you have not made |
every applicant feel a little better, |
a little more encouraged and optimistic
when he or she left your office-"
After stating that North Carolina
is now participating in every one
of the phases of welfare made possible
by the Federal government,
Mrs. Bost expressed the view that
the County Welfare Departments
of the various counties are shortsighted
if they do not take advantage
of all the possibilities in the
various counties. Financial assistance
is only one phase of the work,
she said in calling attention to the
various duties of the Welfare Departments,
such as paroled prisoners,
school attendance, rehabilitation,
getting boys into C. C. C.
camps, and going forward with]
work in the sewing rooms.
One of our main objectives should i
. ?, ? i
be to see tnat is years is maue me
minimum age for compulsory
school attendance so there will not
be a single boy or girl in this state
who has not been urged and given
the privilege of attending school,
Mrs. Bost stated- She said that as
present many children are kept
from school on account of the lack
of clothes and pointed out that the
sewing rooms could relieve this
handicap to a great extent- "School
truancy is one step from delinquency,"
she said.

Car License Cost
Slightly Reduced
Raleigh, Nov. 24 ?Owners of automobiles
throughout North Caro- |
lina will receive registration cards j
for the newr year about December 1, j
according to information given out I
at the Stae Department of Rev-1
enue, which is preparing to issue |
license tags for 1938 to the largest
number of cars ever to operate over
the state's highway.
Clerks in the department are
preparing the cards and mailing
them out as rapidly as possible.
Under the new schedule of license
tag prices adopted by the 1937
General Assembly car owners will
be able to get their tags for slightly
lower prices this year than in the
past. Tags will be on sale and may
be used on automobiles after December
1, it has been announced.
But while there has been a reduction
in the licensing fee, there
has so far been no reduction in the
tax on the fuel these cars use and
there still remains the threat of
diversion of a large amount from
state highway funds to other purposes,
according to S. Gilmer
Sparger, Secretary of the North
Carolina Petroleum Industries Committee,
with headquarters here.
"Under our revenue act, diversion
is dependent upon other rev
enues of the state," said Mr. Sparger,
who was a member of the 1D37
State Senate. "If other revenues
are not sufficient to meet appropriaations
the budget bureau is authorized
to tap the highway funds
to the extent of $2,000,000.
"This should not be the case,'1 he
continued, "for if we continue the
practice of diversion, North Carolina
will soon be in the same boat
with Massachusetts, which has been
warned by the Federal Bureau of
Public Roads that it will lose $1,000,000
per year federal aid unless
diversion of $6,000,000 in highway

Davis Breaks Leg
As He Steps Out
I To Fight Loyd
: Bill Davis is in Park View Hosi
pital at Rocky Mount with both
1 bones of his right leg broken as the
j result of stepping out behind the
. Puritan Cafe here Tuesday night
. between 10:15 and 10:30 o'clock to
r fight with Buck Loyd of Macon after
the canine epithet had been
t hurled in the cafe where they both
had ordered food.
; It is believed that Mr. Davis sufi
fered the break when he stepped
. into the rock drainage system back
of the cafe which is approximately
l a foot and a half deep on each side
i of the door at the rear of the build1
ing.
r While the fighting phrase is cred
ited with being directly responsible
1 for Mr. Davis and Mr. Loyd stepping
i back of the cafe to settle their differences,
evidently there were circumstanes
leading up to the trouble
between the two men which have
not altogether been revealed.
Howard Jones Jr. said that he
, came to Boyce Drug Store from the
1 picture show and saw Mr. Davis
talking over a hunting trip with
. Jim Bojce, Ed Gillam with W. Ks
Falkener listening in during the
time he was not waiting on custo1
mers. Mr. Jones said he sat down
- at a table with Dr. G- H. Macon
l and in a few minutes Mr. Loyd
/ came to the fountain ordered a
i Coca-Cola and after standing
around for a few moments sat down
- between Dr- Macon and himself.
After the hunting conversation
- had ended Mr. Davis stepped to the
i rear of the store and called Bill
Boyce relative to a hunting trip.
Mr. Jones said that he went back
to talk to Mr- Davis about a dog
. and while he was there Mr. Loyd
1 came back. Mr. Jones said he walked
on out to wait for Mr. Davis to
finish his teleDhone conversation
t and was standing in front of the
) store talking with him when Mr.
3 Loyd walked up and said, "What
. have you got to say?"
3 Mr. Davis replied, "I haven't got
3 anything to say to you."
Mr. Loyd came back with, "Well,
damn it, I've got plenty to say to
you; come over here a minute "
Mr. Davis; "If you have got any,
thing to say to me, say it and say
t it right here."
3 Mr. Jones said that he realized
I there was heat in the words, that
. Ihe stepped back in the drug store
s for a moment before it closed and
- that when he left for home shortly
; thereafter the two men were still
!. talking. This was around 10:05
i o'clock. Mr- Jones said that he did
c not notice whiskey on the breath of
- either of the men when they left
1 him.
3 Steve at the cafe said that Mr.
t Davis came in some time after 10
s A
i o'clock and ordered a sanawu.ii. n.
3 few moments later, he said, MrLoyd
came in and ordered soup. He
said he heard the men quarreling,

Manson Man Is Restrained In
His Efforts To Halt Road
Building Across -Land
THREATENS TO SHOOT
Alleged threats of violence directed
at engineers and members of a
construction company who are preparing
to relocate a short portion
of U. S. Highway No. 1 at Manson
in order to eliminate curves was
responsible for a restraining order
being granted this week by Judge
Paul Fizzelle enjoinging W. W.
Wilson of Manson from interferring
in any way with plans which
have been prepared and approved
by the State Highway and Public
Works Commission for running the
road a distance of approximately
1700 feet across the property of Mr.
Wilson.
""" I J
ine restraining uruer was ocuiucu
after agents of the State Highway
and Public Works Commission had
failed in their efforts to have Mr.
Wilson put under a piece bond on
the grounds that he had accosted
members of the road forces and
threatened to shoot them if they
carried out their plans of putting
the road across his lands, it was
stated. Magistrate Macey Pridgen,
before whom the hearing was held,
said that at the time of the hearing
he did not think he had authority
to put the defendant under a
piece bond but that inasmuch as
public notice had been posted at the
court house giving notice of the
proposed road and no objections
had been filed by the Board of
County Commissioners he later
learned that he did have this right.
According to talk which has come
to the surface from time to time
for years, Mr. Wilson's threats of
violence was responsible for the
present road not going across his
property when U. S- Highway No. 1
was constructed twelve or fifteen
years ago. It was said at that time,
anu is sun sum, uiaij wncu luc engineer
started across Mr. Wilson's
[property he was threatened by Mr.
Wilson and that rather than to have
'trouble with him the road made a
decided swing to the left in order
to avoid his property and as a re- 1
suit of this a bad curve was made
where a number of automobile accidents
have occurred, one of them
having proved a fatal wreck.
Present plans of the Highway
Commission are to relocate the road
so as to eliminate a bad curve at
Ridgeway and the bad curve at
Manson. In order to do this one or
more houses will have to be removed
from the roadside at Ridgeway
and the road will have to go
across Mr. Wilson's property at
Manson.
The Highway Commission is going
forward with the work, but it
is not thought that the road will
have to be closed.
The complaint reads in part as
follows:
"That the defendant, W. W. Wilson,
is a landowner in Warren
county, across whose property State
Highway Project 4940, being a relocation
of U. S. Highway No. 1,
passes for a distance of approximately
1700 feet.
"That on October 7, 1937, the
plaintiff caused to be posted at the
court house door in Warrenton a
map showing the relocation of US.
No. 1 at the point where it
crosses the lands of the defendant,
and made a new location thereof in
accordance with plans and contract
designated as Project 4940, and that
no protest or objection was filed by
the Board of Commissioners of
Warren county, and the said relocation
under the law became final
