':. Ltrry Pyn , yno OutstandinK work in the 4-H Community Relations program by Larry Payne, 20, of Taylorsville, and 'Jane Parkins, 15, of Brown Summit, has brought them state wide recognition. They have been presented with certificates of hon or by Gene Autry and the Win. Wrigley Jr. Co. .- In his nine years of club work, Larry has been county Health King. He encouraged over one-, half of his fellow members to enter corn growing contest, and to carry the Dairy project.

Chambers of Albertson, Route 1 announce the birth of a daughter, Emma Chris tine, weight 7 pounds, 10 ounces on Saturday, December 11, at Parrott's Hospital in Klnston. Mrs. Chambers Is the former, Miss Pauline Friga of Swifton Arkansas. Remarks By Gov. (Centtnaed From Front) that the Revenue Act failed to pro duM more revenue than expendi tureg, Wg are now spending more 'nan wa are taking in. In 1963-54, we spent 09,000,000 more than we took in. In 1654-55, it Is estimated we will spend 36,000,000 more than we take in. For the biennhim 1953 55, it appears we will spend ap proximately $32,000,000. more than V receive from revenues. So we see the seriousness of the problem. It is only natural to ask immediately what can be done to reduce present state expenditures in keeping with reduced revenues. As Mrs. Bridges said, the major expen ditures of state tax revenues go to education, public" welfare and health, mental hospitals, retirement system and pension funds, and gen eral government services. These functions alone account for over 90 per cent of the General Fund appro priations. Meanwhile, the needs in these particular areas continue to grow. Fr example, it is estimated that we will have 31,000 more pupils in our public schools In 1955-56, and another 31,000 in 1955-57. This will require more than 1,000 extra teachers to take care of these addi tional students each year. This is cumulative! To summarize these additional educational needs, it has been estimated that the public School system will need an addition al $18,700,000 more for the next biennium at the same teacher load and at the same salary level. The Highway Fund, too often ov erlooked in a discussion of the state's finances, will amount to over $200,000,000 for the coming bien nium. This fund supports the high ways, the Prison, Motor Vehicle Bu reau and the Parole and Probation Boards. Expenditures by the High way Commission have increased along with everything else. The, simple fact is that our gov ernmental services have expanded tremendously in recent years, as our State has continued to grow. We have reached the point where we no longer have revenue surpluses to tide us over from year to year. If we are to maintain state services, it will require a combination of ad-1 ditional revenue, economy and ef ficiency. I have said a number of times that I believe that if our people are told the facts, they will respond lo this challenge as they have responded in years past. I urge you, as newspaper people, to study these facts and acquaint your readers with all the background information which they need to be able to decide tor them selves what our State, through Its legislators should dow; H v;4 I believe that North Carolina can and will maintain a balanced bud get. We bay an Advisory Budget Commission composed of the follow. ;ing:-;vV,K--.V. :- ?''iy;, ; Messrs: Claude Currle, Chairman: Sepate Finance Committee;- John Larking Chairman, .

She has participated in church, school, and community activities and given talks on radio programs. As a result of her better groom ing projects, she has developed poise and alertness. During this project she improved her diet, Eosture, skin, teeth and general ealth. - .,' . c:s . - Lois Violet was presented a certificate of honor for her accom plishments by the Toni Home Per manent Co. with this group over the past four weeks. Up to now, the Commission has not thought it wise to recom mend a general salary cut or to drastically curtail state services, It is required by law to submit to the Legislature through the Governor a balanced budget. Official- figures will not be given until the, budget report, signed by the Advisory Bud. get Commission and the Governor, is released to-the General . Assembly In early January. However, it is clear that we will need Substantial additional revenue for the biennium of 1955-57 to take care ot essential expenditures for schools,-tc., "d to compensate for the $30,000,000 surplus which we had at the start of this period,, In other-words, we will have spent $30,000,000 more than we took in during the1 past two, . ' - '.TJjA4i; This is disturbing hew,.. but we must honestly face vp to. )he facta. None of us like extra taxes; but if we want and demand iaerviCe of schools, welfare, health, and other government benefits, we WJlLhave to pay for them at whatever.-level -local, ita,te or federal. We need more taxpayer, new, in dustries, expansion of present In dustries, and we shall continue' the state's campaign along Jhese "lines. I shall do all I can a Governor, to economize in the state's spending, subject to the will of the Legisla ture, sn dmy authority and respon sibility under the law. , As you knoy, there are many oth er problems besides the fiscal one. There is a serious question, about the state of our water resources; for example, and I believe that some thing will have to be done to Safe guard an absolutely necessary sup ply of water for our people and for our industries. , h i v. We are now receiving the copies of the report of the Commission on. Reorganization of State- Govern ment, which has been at work for the past two years in studying the overall structure, and function of our various agencies. Government, like any large organization, is trou bled with the problems of duplica tion, inefficiency and waste of funds. The reports from "this Com mission contain many good recom mendations which I shall transmit to the General Assembly for its con. sideration. I shall not attempt t6 go into detail on these reports, (which you will receive by mail,) 'but I commend them .for your - careful reading and consideration.

Another will deal with the Governor's office. I 'would like also to express my interest at this time in the proper redisricting of our State,- as pro vided for by ,the Constitution of North Carolina. As you know, the 1951 and 1953 sessions of the Gen eral Assembly did not comply with this requirement If we are to continue to have representative gov. eminent, under the provisions of our State Constitution, I believe that the, General Assembly should act upon this matter during the next session. We are all aware of another ma jor problem which is on the hori zon. This i the question of segrega tion in the public schools. Since 1875, our State Constltutio nhas pro. vided for the separation of school. Since 1875, our Stat Constitution has provided for the separation of schools, without discrimination ag ainst other race. Our public school system has grown and expanded under this provision, and the law which have been enacted by the General Assemblies, down through thli years. Under this program our State, counties, and school districts have invested million of dollar in providing facilitie In an effort to accommodate the tremendous de mands for public education, always based upon the recognized principle of separate but equal facilities Re cent large expenditures for public school buildings have accomplished much in equalizing the school buld Ings available to all race. Teachers' salaries have been fully equalized. However, the Supreme Court of (he United States has reversed its own decision which had stood for almost 60 years, and has created a condition in North Carolina and the other Southern States, with complications and problems which are difficult indeed! We do not know at this time what final decis ions will be made about this ques tion, but we must meet each prob lem calmly and wisely. We are en couraged by indications that more time and more' consideration may be given. As Lieutenant-Governor, I was Chairman of the State Board of Edu cation, and I have first-hand know ledge of many of pur school prob lems. Since becoming Governor, I have' worked closely with the At torney General of North "Carolina, the Superintendent of ' Public In struction, the State Board of Edu cation, the special committee on segregation set up by Governor Umstead, (and continued by me) and "others In a genuine effort to decide the wisest program to fol low in light of this recent Supreme commended the brief submitted by our Attorney General.
