THE LINCOLN TIMES Lincoln County Children Will Share in State’s Rental Fee Plan Textbooks for the school children of Lincoln county will be furnished to them during tlfe coming school session for a rental fee of one third their retail price, according to the decision reached this week by the State Textbook Purchase and Rental commission. All basal textbooks for the elementary grades and all high school text books for which unit adoptions have been made will be furnished under this plan. About $460,000 worth of books, equal to the number purchased last year, will be bought for the use of elementary school pupils, Clyde A. Erwin, State superintendent of public instruction and chairman of the commission, estimated. The books will be rented on a per book basis, in order that chil dren may use second hand books if they wish, the commission decided. No second-hand books will be pur chased by the State. A. S. Brower, director of the State Division of Purchase and Contract and a member of the com mission, and R. Gregg Cherry of Gastonia, who introduced the text book rental bill in the past session of the House of Representatives, were appointed a committee to work out a purchase arrangement with book publishers. Though it is authorized to borrow up to $1,500,000 through State’s cred it to launch the rental system, the commission will use the State’s credit as sparingly as possible, Erwin said, it is thought possible than an ar rangement for installment purchase of textbooks can be made. E. N. Peeler of Greensboro, sec retary to the commission, will pre pare information on the quantity of books needed to inaugurate the rental plan. It is expected that even more books will be rented than ordinarily would be purchased by the parents of school children, commented Erwin. Therefore it is expected that at least $450,000 worth of elementary text books will be needed. An estimate on high school books has not been made. Strict regulations for furnishing free books to indigent children, as provided by the law, will be form ulated by the commission, it was stated. No plan for the distribution of the books has been decided upon though the system generally in use by counties and cities is that of handling books through the offices of school superintendents and prin cipals. North Carolina will have the first State-wide textbook rental system in the United States. Texas has a free textbook system. Erwin has expressed the opinion that North Carolina eventually will supply its school children with books just as it supplies them with other neces sary school supplies and equip ment. Roosevelt Called “Liar and Faker” By U. S. Senator New Orleans, July 9. United States Senator Huey P. Long, in a speech here Monday, called Presi dent Roosevelt a “liar and a faker” and defied “them” to “indict me for that.” Discussing a resolution adopted by the legislature calling on the Con gress to replace the recently-enacted old-age pension bill with a measure drafted by Senator Long, he said: “Let me tell you about this Roose velt pension plan. Under it there are 280,000 persons in Louisiana who would qualify, and Louisiana would get about $1,000,000 which would mean that the state's old-age pen sioners would g<*t $3.60 a year or a little less than one cent a day. “That’s what Franklin Delano Roosevelt sends you down here. “Franklin Roosevelt is a liar and a faker.
