Record Breaking Sum Spsntn Norai The State Highway Commission spent a record-breaking $117,704, 144 on road construction and main tenance activities during the 1949 50 fiscal year, Highway Chairman Henry W. Jordan reported today. This exceeds expenditures dur ing any previous 12-months period and reflects the tremendous vol ume of roadbuilding work now under way throughout the state. Availability of funds from the $200,000,000 bond issue accounted for the stepped-up pace of road building operations everywhere. During the previous fiscal year the Commission spent $83,201,540 for all purposes. Superimposing the gigantic sec ondary road program on top of its regular roadbuilding work consti tuted a formidable task for the Commission's personnel, but nec essary expansions were achieved with a minimum of dislocation and confusion. As of August 1, 1950 the state's largest roadbuilding pro gram was in full swing through out North Carolina's 100 counties with prospects that more miles of road work would be finished dur ing 1950 than during any previous year. The audit for the fiscal year, released today, revealed interesting information about the progress of the road program. v Of the $117,704,144 spent by the Commission during the 12 months' period, $32,226,407 came from road bond sources.

The audit also reveals that as of July 1, revenue from the additional one cent-per-gallon gasoline tax, authorized January 1, 1950 to pay back the $200,000,000 bond Issue, had reached $3,259, 499. By investing in short-term notes and through receipts on premiums, the State Treasurer's office earned $1,069,896 from the $125,000,000 allocated from the bond fund sour ces. This was applied to bond in terest payments. Regular gasoline tax collections showed a continuous climb during the year as the greatest volums of traffic in history used North Caro lina's roads. Collections for this year were $48,903,119 compared with $44,546,748 last year. With abundant secondary road bond funds available, proceeds al ready earmarked for county road construction were used primarily for maintenance. To meet pressing needs for more primary road im provements 15 per cent of county road maintenance and construction funds were diverted to primary road allocations. This was in line with the Commission's announced policy of doing more for the pri mary system in view of the fact GOLDSBORO, N. C. Groomed USE GLOVER'S IMPERIAL HAIR ORES! Antiseptic !

He Loved Teaching Lesson for August 13, 1950 WHAT WOULD you do if you had a million dollars? Several thousand school teachers were asked that question a few years ago. Seventy-five per cent of them gave the same answer: "I'd re sign." They weren't real teachers, they were only hired help. Hie other twenty five per cent were the real teachers. A great university teacher. Palmer ot Harvard, wrote that he had the. perfect job. Believe it or not, he said, "Har vard actually navs Dr. Foreman me tor doing what if I could afford It I would gladly pay Harvard to let me do." No Finished Product THE REAL thing about teaching is that you are dealing with people, young people, growing peo ple. In every other line of business, whatever you turn out begins to depreciate almost as soon as It leaves the factory. It doesn't take long for butter to get rancid, or bread stale. A cold storage egg-; is a feeble imitation of a fresh" one. A car that has changed hands once, even If it has run less than 1,000 miles, is already a "used" car on its way to the junk-pile. But the products of the teach er's classroom are by no mean "finished" products when they leave It, even if it is a finishing school. If the teacher's work has been done well, the product will go on Improving for years. Instead of running down. Three Aims PROFESSOR EZRA, of Babylon antfJeru"s1em, was one of his tory's most fnmous teachers. We note (Ezra 7:10) the same three a,ims in Ezra's life that you would expect to find in all good teachers. First of all. he "prepared his heart" to do what he did. The "heart" is the Bible expression for character, forlife as a whole. No ont can be a truly good teacher who has a bad character. Now Ezra prepared his heart to do three v things. The first was to "seek the law of the Lord." What a teacher teaches may be as im portant as who his pupils are; and Ezra's "subject" was the law which God had given his people part ol what we now call the Old Testa ment. Nowadays this Is called re search, but a simple word for it it Just study. A lazy teacher Is a pooi one. A good teacher wiu speno more tone studying than any of the pupils do and will learn mo-e, too. In fact, the best way to learn anything, including the. Bible, is to try to teach It for a while. Second, Ezra prepared his heart .to do the law. The old sneer, "He who can, does; he. who cannot, teaches," la true of poor teachers, not of the getid ones. Particularly not true of Bible teachers. The aim of Bible teaching, from Moses' time till now, Is always practical. "Troth Is In order to goodness," at the Presbyterians say. One who has not tried ont the Bible Ideals In dally living will never do for Bible teacher. And third, Ezra set out to "teach In Israel." Your research scholar may or may not make a good teacher. The good teacher is nol bored by teaching as some research ers are. He loves it. He is happiest at it ' ' it Take Yourself, for Example NOW LET US see how this comes out in your own home Sunday school. If yours is like most Sun day schools, the main trouble with It is that they can't Gnd enough good teachers, enough people who really want to know about God's word themselves, who live and love to help others know it. , - : f : The Rev" .'H. M. Lewis of Texas has said in his essay. The Divi dends of Teaching: ,. '"When you begin to teach you will realize that at last you have found purpose for your religion , . . Teaching gives a motive,, the highest motive, for an acts of re ligion and for all pursuit of knowl edge 'For their takes.' . Every Christian has . the missionary obli gation and it by virtue of his pro fession of faith, a missionary, Go, teach all nations.' Make your particular nation young America and your special opportunity sys tematic work In the Church school. Once you believe that you must be teacher because you are a Chris , tlan , . . you will have heard your life's -caU." r : fill hit k show oriting fc wn Waking It hifhlf W atafttf. .
