SCHOOLS HAVE CHANCE TO EARN NEEDED MATERIAL Under the terms of a plan just announced by State Sup erintendent Clyde Erwin, the high schools in this county will have the opportunity this spring to earn a supply of val uable governmental materials prepared by the Institute of Government and accumulate funds for their libraries at the same time The result may be that North Carolina schools soon will be teaching government in action instead of the conventional in books. For the Institute of Government staff works on the theory that about 75 percent of governmental knowledge is to be found in the heads of the officials and the methods and practices of their offices, and not in the books. Educators everywhere will watch the experiment with wide interest. “We have the oppor tunity to lead the State and na tion in a program of govern mental instruction and prepar ation for citizenship,” was the view expressed by Superinten dent Erwin in announcing the plan to the principals and re commending its adoption in the high schools of the State. By way of explanation, the Institute is comprised of some 28 organizations of public of ficials and around 25 citizens’ groups. The organization is unique in that it marks the first time that officials have come together with leading citizens in a joint effort to make com parative studies of their gov ernment, with a view to effect ing improvements and econom ics. The enterprise is non-parti san and non-profit in nature. A staff of six trained men is em ployed, and offices are main tained in Raleigh and Chapel Hill. me scnooi • materials nave been in the course of prepara tion since the Institute was invited by the State Depart ment of Public Instruction and the North Carolina Education Association three years ago, to help the schools meet the long felt need for materials on the actual structure and workings of the government of the State and its subdivisions. The stu dies have since been recom mended for use in the schools by both the State Textbook Commission and Curriculum Revision Committee. It was the late Dr. A. T. Al len who suggested that the schools be given the opportun ity to earn the materials, but it remained for his successor as State Superintendent, Clyde Erwin, to work out the details of the plan. This, briefly, is to give the schools one subscrip tion to “Popular Government” | and the supplementary mater jials of the Institute for each ! membership secured by one of j its students, with a commis sion on surplus memberships to | be used for library funds. FIRST STRAWBERRIES The first crate of straw berries offered for sale on the Wallace market this season were brought in yesterday afternoon by William Far rior, local grower. The ber ries, which were of the Blake more variety, were well de veloped and fully ripe, and the 32-quart crate sold for $8.25. Blanchard Produce Company purchased the first crate which was forwarded by express to a Northern market. Another crate of Blake mores made their appearance on the local market this af ternoon when Norwood Blan chard, of the Chinquapin sec tion offered a full 32-quart crate of well ripened fruit. This is the earliest straw berries have been offered for sale at this point in several years and indicates an ex tremely early season if fav orable weather prevails. Just when the local auction market will open has not yet been announced, but growers and buyers alike are of the opinion that a few more days of warm weather will start the fruit to moving in earn est. If this should prove true, auction sales will prob ably be held here by the lat ter part of next week. BAPTISTS OF EASTERN ASSO.

HILL LIQUOR BILL IS STILL BEING TALKED Adjournment in Two Weeks is Now a Possibiloty if Mem bers Work Hard By M. L. Shipman (Special to the Enterprise) Raleigh, April 1.—It’s the Senate’s next move. It now has both the revenue and the ap propriations bills. The House got both off its chest the past week in comparatively the same shape as they came from the joint Finance committee and the appropriations committee. As finally passed, there is the possibility of a lack of a mil lion dollars or so a year in bal ancing the budget. It’s on this point that supporters of the Hill liquor bill hope to get in their deadliest work. Within a vote or so of having a majugi ty in the Senate, they hope to put it over. But it is freely predicted that the House will never agree to such a meas ure as the Hill liquor bill. And that causes the Senate to hesitate. It was a bitter dose for many of the legislators to have to vote for the sales tax again. They were under two fires at home, the consuming public de manding a decrease in the sales tax, and every corporation of any consequence demanding that they npt increase their taxes because they had alTthey could carry now. There were visions of closed plants, fur ther unemployment, and that would never do. So the legis lators were between the devil and the deep blue sea, but they stood hitched to the idea that North Carolina had to do some thing for its schools or else face the possibility of closing them, and turning the children on the streets. Teachers had stood by the ship, but their re serve is about gone, and some thing had to be done. So it was no surprise that the three per cent tax stayed on, particular ly in view of the fact that the McDonald-Lumpkin substitute taxes did not get into the Leg islature until late in the ses sion, and then some of them were adopted in the effort to balance the budget, and the Legislature stands ready to adopt more of them, if it be comes necessary. * * * If there appears to be too much money in the news about the Legislature, the answer is that the members have given little attention to anything else. | That was the problem that had ito be solved, regardless of any I thing else. True, the Senate approved constitutional amend* ments, submitting to the peo ple four, one on whether or not property shall be classified for advalorem taxes one to raise the income tax rate limit from six to ten per cent, one to limit the amount of increase in State, county and town in debtedness of the reduction for the previous biennium, and one to give the Legislature au thority to make important changes in the court system. But the Senate gave so little attention to these amendments that it actually voted to con tinue the present set up of mag istrates, which indicated that the Senators feared that some thing might be done to them, but it was willing to' trust fu ture Legislatures to deal with other courts. * . While it is freely predicted that the Legislature will bo getting away within a couple.::: of weeks, there are many who tj have their doubts. There i$,j no doubt of the determinate of the legislators to get throi (Continued on Page Six):
