world's largest Christmas tree", a
75-foot water oak in Hilton Park.
Decoration of this tree with lights
and Spanish moss has been an
annual custom since 1929, and it
is not unusual for 75,000 visitors
to see it during a single Yule
tide season.
There are other living Christ

also, although not so large. They
include glossy-leafed magnolias
and water oaks .as well as the
more conventional spruce, pine,
cedar and balsam. Many of the
decorations used on Indoor Christ

The theft occurred sometime be

Urges Earmarking
Road Jaxes,Roads
North Carolina motorists deserve
the' Same proration for their
road funds that motorists in half
the states of the nation, includ
ing Alabama and Georgia, now
enjoy, according to R. Flake Shaw,
Chairman of the North Carolina
Highway Users Conference.
He pointed out that on Novem
ber 4th the voters of Alabama.
Georgia and Arizona approved
amendments to their state con
stitutions forbidding non-road use
of road funds collected from mo
torists in the form of gasoline taxes
and motor vehicle registration
fees. Twenty-four states, or one
half the states of the nation, have
now passed anti-diversion amend
ments, Shaw said.
"North Carolina motorists, too,
deserve a chance to decide wheth
er their road funds should be ear
marked exclusively for roads,'" he
stressed, adding: "in past years,
road fund diversion has cost our
state road program more than
S28.000.000."
;Citing figures recently released
by the U. S. Bureau of Public
Roads, Shaw reported that in 1951)
nearly 52,500,000 in North Carolina
road funds was channeled into
non-road projects.
"These millions of dollars should
have been invested' in improving
our roads," he emphasized, "since
motorists here are not so wealthy
that they can afford to pay both
general government taxes and
special road taxes, only to see a
portion of their road money used
for everything but roads."
- Shaw said the -question of pro
tecting funds should be answered
by the people., ."We' should urge
our lawmakers to submit a consti
tutional anti-diversion amendment
