state Finances
North Carolina's highway fund
showed a slight increase in balance,
but the general fund lost nearly a mil
lion dollars of its balance, due to pay
ments of teacher salaries, amounting
to about $1,750,000 a month, the com
bined statement of the Treasurer and
Auditor for November shows. The
State’s total bonded debt la shown to
be $174,156,000, of which $3,588,000 is
to be paid January 1, along with the
semi-annual interest payment of $3,-
215,437.50. Of this $6,773,437.50 to be
paid thcu, $4,824,440 comes from the
highway fund, $85,062.50 from the
bridge fund and the balance, $1,863,-
935, from the general fund, which is
expected to show an overdraft from
then until income taxes are paid, up
to March 15.
The general fund had a balance of
$1,285,796.63 November 1 and during
the month collected $1,842,846.33, a
total of $2,128,642.96, but spent dur
ing the month $2,780,249.90, leaving a
balance of $348,394.06 at the end of
the month. This fund started the fis
cal year, July 1, with an overdraft of
$2,601,372.28, and to the end of No
vember collected $24,554,933.71 and
spent $21,615,172.37.
In the highway fund November 1
the balance was $10,880,735.03 and
during the month receipts were $4,.
333,532.20 and expenditures $4,147,-
699.29. leaving the balance $11,066,-
567.93. This fund started the fiscal
year with a balance of $12,179,564.21,
collected $21,769,436.78 and spent
$22,882,433.08 through November.
projects call for building 4,750 miles
of lines and would serve about 24,000
customers of rural families. An in
vestment of about $7,500,000 would
be needed to complete the work, es
timates being that probably half of
the proposed projects are practical or
capable of being operated on a self-
sustaining basis. The $17,200 cost of
the surveys was met by the FERA, a
field investigator going into every
county from which rural electrifica
tion applications were received. The
study of facts collected will prob
ably require six months longer.
Revenue Bills
The Advisory Budget Commission
has drafted the revenue and appro
priations bills it will offer to the
1935 General Assembly, all except the
provisions of the general sales tax, it
with stated, following the meeting
i here Fiiday. That is expected to be
{ completed later, guesses being that it
will be a continuation of the three
per cent sales tax, without exemptions
j of basic food items, a^ now. Governor
Ehringhaus, who spent most of last
week on speaking trips, is expected to
spend some time now on these bills
and his message to the General As
sembly. He spoke at the 10th anniver
sary celebration of the founding of the
Duke Endowment here Tuesday night.
He then went to Washington and
spoke at the Crime Conference Wed-
j nesday and Friday spoke in New
York City at the convention of the
National Association of Life Insur
ance Presidents. Preparation for the
meeting of the legislature January 9
is expected to take most of his time
until then.

Christmas Greens
Promiscuous cutting of holly and
other Christmas greens with no re
gard for future replacement will
soon deplete the supply, but judicious
gathering will permit maintenance of
a permanent supply. State Forester J.
S. Holmes warns. He asks that trees
and greens be taken by thinning and
not cutting down all of the trees and
greens in any one place. Cutting
should be with a sharp saw or axe
and near the tips of the branches, and
not more than 25 per cent of the leaf
surface of holly and greens should be
taken, Mr. Holmes states.
Rural Electrification
Field investigations of 736 rural
electrification projects and extensions
in 77 counties had been completed to
December 1 by Governor Ehringliaus’
Committee on Rural Electrification,
under Prof. D. S. Weaver, of State
College, executive director. These

SCHOOL PKOGK.VM OUTIJXED
BY EDUCATION ASSOCI.VTION
No radical changes need be made ^
in the present machinery for oper- ‘
ating the schools, in the opinion of
the legislative committee of the North !
Carolina Education Association. The'
present eight months minimum term,
the committee agrees, in working out
its legislative pro{;ram, should be
used as a basis on which to build the
school cy'item of the future.
The program tormulated_ after six
months of study, in general terms
and with details to be left to the new
State Superintendent Clyde A. Erwin,
follows:
(1) An eight months school term
offering a minimum educational op
portunity supported by the State,
with liberal provisions for local units
to operate schools for a longer term
and I or of a higher standard.
(2.) A sufficient increase in appro
priations for th'e minimum term and
opportunity to provide for a substan
tial increase in the salaries of all
school employes and for adequate pro
visions for all other school sei’vices.
(3) A higher standard of acade
mic and professional training for
those employed in classroom and ad
ministrative positions.
(4) The county as a unit of school
administration as long as it is the
unit of administration for other func
tions of government, with provision
for retention of city administrative
units necessary for efficient adminis
tration.
The program has been worked out
by the legislative committee named
some time ago by President Guy B.
Phillips, of the State association, and
is composed of the following mem
bers: Cupt. E. L. Best, Louisburg,
and Supt. M. E. Yount, Graham, co-
chairman; Supt. W. A. Graham. Kin
ston; Principal E. H. Garinger, Char
lotte. and Miss Oma Lafferty, Char
lotte, president of the State Class
room Teachers.

^1935
Buick announces continuation
of • • • its Smart Style •. • Proven
Superiority...Established Pres
tige of Quality and Value
• • • and every fundamental
Buick Engineering Feature,
already proved and now
Improved by further progress.
The public, in the first 10 months of this year, by in
vesting in new Buicks more millions of dollars than
in any other car except the three of very lowest price,
gives striking, even sensational recognition and approval
to the superiority of Buick quality and Buick value.
Buick was ahead of its time this year. Buick for 1935—
already a proven product—is ahead now. The building
this year of the finest cars Buick ever built, in a volume
nearly double the 1933 output, has brought forth impor
tant new improvements and refinements, bearing upon
performance, smoothness, dependability and general
economy.
Compare the Buick for 1935 as you will. You will see here
the value for your money. You will buy a better auto
mobile only when Buick builds it.
