(Adv ) to the new department t20 days af ter enactment of the measure. The CCC and the NYA also would be placed under control of the de partment after 120 days. The measure also provides a for mula for distribution of Federal funds for works programs. One half of the funds would be distributed on a population basis and the other half would be distrib uted on the basis of the number of unemployed The Federal Government would advance not more than two-thirds of the oi me projects ana the States would be required to advance the other third. Service would be transferred to the Jurisdiction of the Social ^eenritv Board to provide a closer check on the number of unemployed. Each state, in order to obtain So cial Security Board approval of its old age assistance plan, would make a minimum monthly payment of $7 50 to each individual. The Federal government would match on a half-and-half basis the State expenditures for old-age as sistance in payments to individuals. In the event that State payments exceed thirty dollars, the Federal gove rnment with match only half of the $30 If States are found to have a per i jipiia ii!i ui'.u?less Iiuin?that of trie United States as a whole, represen tations may be made to the Secre tary of the Treasury for adjustment. ??The bill would advance payments ;o dependent childtcn from-July 1, 1042 to Jan 1. 1950,. and provide for federal matching of half the sums expended by the State for such pay ments, not exceeding $13 per month for on< such dependent and $12 per month for additional dependents. The bill established - a minimum state contribution of $5 per month for such payments, with a provision inrilar to the old-age benefits in the event the individual state has a subnormal per capita income. Under the- proposal, mmimums were established for State partici pation in the unemployment com pensation program. They included: <d $15 or less per week while em ployed"; $7 50 for those who earned between $15 and $20 per week; $10 ]H'i week between $20 and $25 dur mg employment; $12.50 per week for between $25 and $30. and $15 per week for those who earned more than $30 CLOWNS The .-peciiil visit of the legislature to Charlotte this week reminded the people there of Barnum's circus, and 1 Barnuib's has. many-clowns.

A few answers "to the question. ! Do you like Bob Reynolds?" are j as follows: School teacher: "Don't ask me j w hat 1 think of him because am onnected with him but some of his ! own folks think he is silly. Building inspection official: "He's done better than I thought he w ould I didn't vote for him the first time. I don't like some of his ideas and stunts." A stenographer: "He may be good senator but he's like all the rest of the politicians; he'll run up and grab your hand like a long-lost brother and two days later if you pass him on the street he won't even see you I do know he ought to be lending to his business instead of chasing all over the world " A civil engineer Hi 's just like he was when we were in school to gether (at the University of North Carolina) a hot air artist." An office secretary: "I'd hate to tell you what I think of him But Jk has got personality and a way with women.

Be Displayed At N,Y. World's Fail | Will Be Part of State's Ex hibit, Measuring 21 Feet Long Raleigh?The mountains, valleys, rivers and sounds of North Carolina relief map being built for display at the New York World's fair part of the North Carolina exhibit, it was announced by Coleman W Roberts, exhibit director for th:? state world's fair commission, of which W E. Fenner, of Rocky Mount, is chairman. 4 The big relief map, 21 feet long and eight feet wide, is now being built in the basement of the new I state office building in Raleigh un der the supervision of state geolo gist H J. Bryson Qf the mineral re | sources division of the department | | of conservation and development. Actual construction of the map is under the personal direction of A. E Bohnard. cartographic engineer | and artist, who last year designed a large portion of the Florida dis Fair. Mr. Bohnard has a force of 14 WPA workers assisting him in building up the map. Numerous layers of cardboard and tissue paper pasted together are being used in building up the map, each thickness of cardboard representing an increase in alti tude of 50 feet. Thus, the portion of the map showing the mountain sec tions with altitudes of 6,000 feet, will fequlre 120 layers of card board, stuck together with the best grade of cabinet-maker's glue. Many weeks* have been required to draw the many sections of the map to the proper scale, and then transfer these drawings to the base of the relief map by tracing the lines through the carbon paper. Af ter this has been done, the various ridges and contours are drawn on separate sheets of cardboard and | Cilt out with scissors The portions cut out are then glued to.the base of the map in the proper places?a very intricate and complex procedure. | Several days are sometimes requir ed to build up the ridges and slopes I along the Galley of a single river. At the present time only a por tion of the eastern coastal section | of the state has been completed, al though most of the other portions have been built up to the proper scale so that work can proceed quit ? rapidly from now on, according to Mr Bohnard Present plans call for 25,' after which date it will be tak I en to New York and erected in the North Carolina exhibit space at the world's fair. This will be the only relief map exhibited by any I state at the fair. prove of his methods or his actions/ Lumber executive: "Personally 1 don't think there's much force tc him. He seems to be quite a man I about town." Army officer: "He seems to be just a bag of wind. I don't krow him personally, but thaPs what 1 judge from what 1 read and hear." Architect: "He needs a stooge ? someone to go around with him whose breast he can beat. The breast beater." Rural policeman: "1 don't know the gentleman." Then he said, 1 think he travels too much. A stenographer: "No I think he is cheap. I used to think he was ra ther harmless, but now 1 think he's dangerous/' A salesman: "No. Who does he think he is, wanting to send all the immigrants back and then coming out with all that Hitler stuff?" Insurance Company Has Successful Year Bradford H. Walker, president of the Life Insurance Company of Vir ginia, commenting upon the com pany's sixty-eighth annual report, in a letter to Mr. W. G. Peele, manager, of Williamston. emphasized that the year 1938 witnessed the reaching of two new milestones in the com pany's history, namely, the passing ?of $190,668,608 in admitted assets and of one-half billion dollars of insurance in force. He also express ed the management's sincere thanks for the cooperation given by the company's field representatives dur ing the past year, stressing the I act that their splendid volume of sales in the closing months of 1938 had largely offset the effects of unsatis factory business conditions existing in the earlier part of the year Stating that the company's prog ress in 1938 had been satisfactory in Due to the size of the map, it is being built in sections on heavy ta bles which can be bolted together. Otherwise it would have been im l>ossible to remove the map from the building where it is being con structed. These sectional tables will be shipped to New York, then as sembled and bolted together so that the map will appear to be a single unit. After the world's fair closes, the map will be brought back to North Carolina and placed on dis play in Raleigh, probably in the State Museum. This is the first relief map of the entire state that has ever been built and one of the largest ever built of any state, according to State Geol ogist Bryson. The tremendous var iation in altitude from sea level along the coast to more than 6,000 feet in the western part of the state has greatly increased the difficulties encountered in building the map, he pointed out. "We feel confident that this map. showing in detail almost every hill, valley, river, stream and mountain in North Carolina in accurate scale, will be oiur of the most interesting parts of?our eiihibil?at the?New York World's Fair," Mr Robert said. "It will give those who see it a more accurate idea of the kind of country they will find in North Carolina than anything else could ?and will make them want to visit the state to see it first-hand. I am confident it will prove to a great stimulus to travel in North Caro lina this coming summer and fall and in future years." I every reipect, Mr. Walker specified the following as outstanding fea tures of the sixty-eight annual re port. Insurance in force was increased by $24,325,724 $5,324,122.69 were added to ad mitted assets. Policy reserves were enlarged by $4,818,119.26 to a total of $81,674, 191.06, and an addition of $469,348.42 brought the aggregate of capital, surplus, and contingency reserves to $16,707,844.36. Kannapolis Farmer Plants His Pasture In Blue Grass W. L. Overcaah, of Kannapolis, route 1, unwittingly started a blue grass pasture on his farm two years ago by covering eroded places in the pasture with a coating of barn yard manure. He liked the blue grass so well that he has seeded 200 pounds of seed on an adjoining nine acres. He says blue grass and man ure seem to go well together in pas ture building. : ?????
