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. '

Recovering a stolen car and solv
ing the mystery of a fire of unknown
origin within the course of two and
one-half hours would be pretty good

tectives, but Sheriff C. J. McDonald
and Deputy Sheriff L. A. Kelly ac-

lawyers, doctors, dentists, engineers; addition located the offenders,
and others who had failed to jiay | heard their confessions and landed
their license taxes. Often those be-j them safely in jail within that time,

Sljte insurance commissioner, was
moved up from vice-president to

Boney has an important place on the

that one Curtis McLauchlin fitted the
description. Going to McLauchlin's
place of abode at 11 o'clock, they
