3S 1 The Concord Daily Tribune lssku VOLUME XXVI MR HUPS IS READY TO FUNCTION ißHisnini Tells What He Hopes to; Do For State With De-' partment Created Last January. FACTS ONLY WILL BE DEALT WITH The Good Points of the States Will Be Adver tised in Sane and Truth ful Manner. Raleigh, Jan. o.— ( Wade 11. Phillips, of Lexington, recently appointed by Governor McLean as di rector of the department of conserva tion and development, arrived in Kn loigh Monday to assume his new du ties, and today outlined what he con ceives to be the goal of the newly created department. “Ultimately to make of the de partment a storehouse of accurate and readily obtainable information concerning the natural resources of the state, and also its industrial and commercial activities of all kinds”— thus the new director voiced his aim for the department. “The keystone” of the efforts of the department will be to “advertise the state, but to do so with fact as the constant basis of everything that is published,'- said Major Phillips. The department of conservation and development was created by the last General Assembly, as a successor to the geological and economic survey. The bill creating the department was cue of those passed at the behest of Governor McLean. Since its creation, it has been under tho management of acting directors. Major Fillips’ ap pointment as director having come only a few weeks ago. I* Major Phillips, who is a Lexing ton attorney, and who was formerly state commander of the American Le gion, in his statement today, in which he outlined his policies, reviewed the history of the geological and economic survey, and gave credit to that or ganization for work of much value to the state. And 'he stated that “none yjt these fundamental activities (be * gun by (he surrey) will be abated by the new department.’’ |,' The meirt of' conseryatioif and development,” said Major Phil lips, ns it is conceived by the gover nor and established in the recent act of the General Assembly, by which it was created, is both a continuance of Vhe old geological survey, which in one form' ami another has endured in the state for over a hundred years, and a new department in our govern mental activities. "The old survey," lie said, review ing the work of that body, "began a purely scientific investigation to de termine the location and extent of natural resources, in the beginning largely confined to mineral deposits. Its scope was gradually enlarged to bring investigations and reports more closely in touch with industrial de velopment of all kinds. "Thus it initiated the great work that is now being done in forest fire prevention and in educating popular sentiment to realize waste of timber resources and adopt- sensible measures for their conservation. It was a pio neer in the policy of good roads as an economic development and did a pricesk'Ns work ill preparing the mind of the people to accept the progres sive system of highways which now distinguishes North Carolina among ail southern states. “Its scientific investigations and publications stimulated important ac tivities in noil-metallic minerals, such ns clays, and in building stones, etc. Its investigations and reports upon water resources have resulted in many valuable developments.” Turning from the past to the fu ture. Major Phillips deplored that not (•illy would none of these fundamental activities be abated by the new de partment, but that they “will, in filet, be extended and made mere efficient as opportunity offers. '“But it is planned ultimately to make of the department a storehouse of acccurate and readily obtainable information concerning the natural resources of the state and also its industrial and commercial activities of all kinds, from manufacturers to re sorts. The principle upon which the work of the department will here after proceed will be that of provid ing an index to the activities of our people, however manifested.” The new director evidently feels that the advertising of the state will play a big role in the work of the department. On this phase of the work he commented : “The keystone of this effort will be to advertise Pile state, but to do so with fact as the constant basis of ev erything that is published. Over statement may be even more harmful than a failure to make known the ad vantages we possess. In state ad vertising within the scope of its ef forts. the department of conservation and development will aim at becoming an authoritative source of accurate data as to what there is in the state of material, its development, and the possibilities of its use.” Major Phillips implied that, while he had great plans for the future, it would take time to bring about the fruition of his desires for the depart ment. And he emphasized that the basis of the work of his department would largely He in co-operation with other departments of the state govern- The Last of the Old Hansom Cabs Picture Thls !s the only survivor of the old h anstm cabs that used to be so common on the streets of "Washington.

Mann, secretary of the New Haven Chapter of the Knights of the Ivu Kltix Klan. announced yesterday tlie dissolution of that body, stating that a decision to disband was reached at a council of the New Haven klansmen held on December 22.

The k!nn is termed "both un-Ameriean and anti-Ameri enn' t in Mr. Mann’s letter. Last fall, after a ceremonial at' Double Beach on the Brandford shore, it was understood that many New Haven klansmen were refused admission to the grounds because their membership cards were not the same color as issued by the imperial klan.

Much or ganization and study will be neces sary to bring them to pass-. “What has been said above, how ever, is a fair statement of the ends for which the department was created by the general assembly. It Is a new department, but it is expected that no small part of its effective ness will consist in co-operative effort with other departments in making more generally available the results of their specialized effort.” ' ************** * * RAISING MONEY * * FOR SUFFERERS. * * * * Brussels.
