Undertaking: Embalming Ambulance Service East Broad St., Southern Pines Waynick “On the Job” One of the first problems tackled by the new^ head of the State High way and Public WorKs Commission, Capus M. Waynick, High Point edi tor, Guilford senator and former di rector of reempijyment in the state, is a closer coordination between the highway and the prison divisions of the department. He has already been holding conferences with Jack Roach, head of the prison division: Sam Smith, auditor, and W. Vance Baise, acting State engineei’ since the death of John D. Waldrop, to bring about a closer cooperation in these divisions. Prison labor is not permitted on fed eral aid highway construction, the object being to give emp oymenl. But it may be used on all repair work and in providing materials for highway work, and this is to be done to a greater extent. Still another problem is the Wright Memorial bridge from the mainland peninsula to the banks over the sound. Owners declined the Slate's offer of $125,000, asking about twice that much. Tentative plans have been started to erect a parallel bridge to cost about $500,000. Mr. Waynick is "assistant chairman,” at a salary of $5,000 a year. Chairman Jeffress, stricken in the summer, is continued as chairman. Occupational Diseases When the 1935 General Assembly convenes it will have available all of the intorination obtainable on “oc cupational diseases” and a State fund for insurance under the workmen’s compensation law. Occupational di seases are not such as are recogniz ed under the law at present, although the N, C. Supreme Court awarded compensation in the case of Mcl^eely vs. Carolina Asbestos Co., Charlotte, the worker was suffering from “as- bestosis,” caused by long breathing of the asbestos dust. Experience of oth er states are being studied and will be available. Dr. G. P. Schwenning, ecomcmics professor at the State Un iversity, now making the study. Dr. John S. Bradway, of the Duke Uni versity legal aid clinic, is making a study of the State fund for insur ance. This may be necessary, as many of the stock and mutual companies are refusing to insure many classes of workers in the State. One plant employing 150 people closed down for a time because it could not get in surance. Something is expected to be done relative to both these problems by the legislature. (’olleeting Taxes Steps were taken during Septem ber and October to force delinquent taxpayers numbering 2,152 to pay taxes they had declined to pay pre viously by legal methods started by the new regime in the revenue de partment. Executions were issued in 1,726 cases and warrants served in 726 instances, officials report. War rants were issued against G27 who failed to pay Schedule B, or license taxes, 23 were for failure to make sales tax returns and 76 were. fo» bad checks. Of the executions served, of this week. Governor Ehringhaus is al.so on the program as a speaker, ' the only Governor at the meeting. ' Mr. Baney, doing much and speaking little, is expected to limit his part on the program to introducing Gov ernor Bjhringhaus. i Stute Parks | North Carolina will lose much that i would come to the state unless coun- j ties, cities, communities or indivi- ' duals offer sites for State parks ; while the Federal government is in the mood and has the money for developing such sites. Other states, ! notably Virginia and South Carolina, ' have several State parks areas that are being developed by CCC camps | and this State should take advantage ^ of the opportunity offered. Director ' K. B. Etheridge, of Consei'vation and Development, states. The sites must be in the forms of gifts, but the P'ed- erai government usually spends much more than the initial cost in their development. Permanent recreation al places add to the life of the com- nuinity and attract visitors. Mr. Eth eridge points out. Sites must be ac- ceptible to the National Park Ser vice, must contain 1,500 acres or more and must have some or all of these assets: accessibility, outstand ing scenery, recreational advantages, particular histoiical interest, unus- i ual landscape features, or others, j Hunting licenses this season, up to 1 last week, brought in $93,049 in rev enue or $23,152 more *^^han the $69,- 897 received to a similar date last year, with the belief that because of unfavorable hunting weather around Thanksgiving, the increase will be even larger tiuring Ltie rtemaining part of the hunting season. Game is reported plentiful this season, due i to little hunting in recent years and con3ervation of stock. Migratory wa terfowl are an exception, experts saying that ducks and geese have not' breeded as successfully during re- j cent years, due to drought conditions in the prairie states and in Canada, j Kitchen M. Barnes, 62, native of' Wilson county, who has been secre-1 tary and purchasing agent in the De- | partment of Agriculture for 19 years, j after a period as teacher, merchant and farmer in Wilson county, died ! Friday night from an attack of ap- poplexy suffered in Lho Agricultural, building in the afternoon.
