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

The big relief map, 21 feet long
and eight feet wide, is now being
built in the basement of the new

gist H J. Bryson Qf the mineral re

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

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
