partnership with his father, who
has practiced law in Raleigh foi
over 40 years.
Simms has stated: “I have net
sought public office before, but I
have a desire to represent my
home county to the best of my
ability and with all my energy and
devotion to it and to every citizen
of it. My general law practice
and other varied activities have
given me a wide acquaintance with
many people all over the county
and also a knowledge of their
problems and needs, and I believe
I can be of real service to my
county and state.
“I appreciate the many cordial
expressions that have already been
made to me, and shall be deeply
grateful for the active support of
all citizens of the county.
“I intend to represent all of the
people and not a part only. I want
to try to reduce taxes generally.
I would like to abolish the sales
tax and am anxious to get its
burden off the people. I certain
ly want to eliminate the trouble
some methods of its collection.
“I am whole-heartedly for good
roads and schools and better pay
and pensions for teachers and fa
vor giving them a 12-months’ sal
ary'. I am for a more economical
administration of government, f
desire to serve no faction, or
group, but to represent the entire
citizenship. I shall express my
views more fully as opportunity
occurs.”
Simms is an active Baotist, a
deacon in the Tabernacle Church,
experienced as a superintendent
and teacher in the Sunday School,
and is the present moderator of
the Raleigh Baptist Association.
He was a charter member of the
Raleigh Junior Chamber of Com

zations and affairs. He has been
president of the Wake County Ju
nior Bar Association and a direct
or of the Wake County Bar Asso

Raleigh Public Schools and at
ake Forest College, where he
graduated in 1930. He was a
charter member and the first sec
retary of the Wake County Young
Democrats’ Club.
WHALE HIDE LEATHER
In England whale hide is being
considered as a probable source
for leather to make shoes and
bflotlaces. Facing a leather short
age, Britain is experimenting with
numerous substitutes for hides in
use already, such as those of cat
tle, goats, pigs and sheep; or new
leathers to supplement these. The
war has increased the production
of boots at least forty per cent, ft
JR said, and additional materials
may be sorely needed before peace
is secured.
Legion Will
Help To Combat
Unemployment
Raleigh, April 24—A1l of the ac
tive 180 American Legion posts in
North Carolina will join posts all
over the nation in observance of
“National Employment Week”,
May 1-8, and “National Employ
ment Sunday, May 5.
President Roosevelt and Gover
nor Hoey are expected to join Na
tional Commander Raymond J. Kel
ly and State Commander June H.
Rose, of the American Legion, in
issuing proclamations calling upon
the citizens of nation and State to
join in the observance, to be furth
er promoted by the mayors of
many cities and towns in the State.
Veterans’ Placements Repre
sentative R. C. Godwin, of the
State Employment Service Division
of the North Carolina Unemploy
ment Compensation Commission,
has the assurance from R. Mayne
Albright, Employment Service Di
rector, that managers of all the 46
Employment offices in North Car
olina will cooperate fully in observ
ing the week. Churches, chambers
of commerce, industry, labor, the
press, the radio and citizens gen
erally will be asked to join in mak
ing the observance a success.
Stress will be laid during the
week on finding jobs for men and
women over 40 years of age, calling
attention to the value of matured
skills of this group of workers,
most of whom have family respon
sibilities and are in greatest need
of work to rear and educate their
children. Attention is called to the
244,275 World War veterans seek
ing employment, and to many
thousands of others in the “over
40” group, many of whom are pass
ed over in employment because of
their age.
Employers To Be
Taken To Task
Raieigh, April 24—Employers
subject to the State Unemployment
Compensation Law, who have not
paid their 1939 contributions, may
still save on their Federal taxes
if they make the payments by
June 30 Chairman Charles G. Pow
ell, of the State Commission, points
out. These payment were due by
January 1 and if paid to the State
Commission by that time, the pay
ing employers received 90 per cent
credit, leaving 10 per cent for the
Federal Government. If contribu
tions of 2.7 per cent of payrolls
were not paid to the State by Jan
uary 31, but are paid by June 30,
the credit of 81 per cent is allowed,
and the Federal penalty, is nine per
cent. If paid later, the Federal
Government collects the full 3 per
cent of the payroll, in addition to
the State’s 2.7 per cent, almost
doubling the original tax, Mr.
Powell said.
ONLY 21
The Young Men’s Bible Class
had only 21 present Sunday. That
was less than a 50 per cent at
tendance. We are now studying
the works and doings of the proph
ets. Next Sunday we will study
Isaiah, one of the most interesting
characters in the Old Bible. Come
on out to Sunday School and start
the d*y right. It will make you
feel much better by having attend
ed Sunday School. Don’t be a
sleepy-head.

the best interests of the people of
Wake County.
“If elected I pledge to the
voters of Wake County a cour

administration of the affairs of
this office. I further believe that
on account of my training, past
experience and my ability to per
form a full day’s work each day
of the week that I will be able to
reduce the expense of operation
and conduct the office on a more
economical basis.”

hope is to put the records in the
