Mills Home At Thomasville Has
Cared For Over 3,000 Orphans
H wa* reported at the North Car
olina Baptist, state convention last
wprk that the Mills home at Thom
Wviile had cared for more than 3,
0(i0 children in the 49 years of its
history'- It was established in 1884
under th« leadership of John H.
Mills who w considered the father
of orphanage work in North Caro
lina
Under the leadership of the for
mer manager, M. L. Kesler, moth
ers aid work was begun by the in
stitution'and now- 181 children are
being aided in their own homes.
This makes the total number of
children now under the care of the
home 814
Dr I. G, Greet came to the man
sgership of the home a little more
ihan a year ago and his conduct of
affairs has met with the hearty ap
proval of the Baptists of the state.
In his report concerning the op
eration of the home he stated that
the total daily expenses average
about »42S, » monthly average of
*3025 per child.
A farm is maintained and work
ed in part by. the boys and a large
quantity of food is grown every
year. The Mills home herd of Hol
stein cattle ranks as one of the fin
est in the state.
The plan of support by which the
Baptists of the state operate the
institution is unique. The Sunday
Khools are asked to give an offer
ing once a month to the orphanage
and at Thanksgiving time to take a
special contribution. A large num
ber of Sunday schools co-operate in
the plan. In addition to the cash
contributions, numerous churches
and individuals make donations of
produce and other articles needed
in the cottages. It -is believed that
it* financial plan has been largely
responsible for its development in
to one of the largest institutions of
It* kind in the south.

Federal Agencies
Will Buy Bonds
To Boost Market
Morgen than Acts To Bolster Droop
ing .Sales. And Gold Price
Advances 10c.
Washington, Novi 21.—The rc-:
sources of federal agencies will be
used to support the government ,
bond market, replacing or augment
mg to some extent the activities of >
the federal reserve system in the i
pursuance of its open market poli- <
cies, it was made known here to- 1
day by Acting Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau.
As if to test out the bond market, ■
the gold purchasing committee, of <
which this official is a member as !
the direct representative of the
president, increased to $33.66 the I
quotation in the government mar- I
ket for newly mined domestic gold.
The 10 cents advance in the price 1
of this gold, which had remained i
static for five days last week at )
$33.56, also was interpreted here as
the administration's response to the <
“demand” of the United States 1
chamber of commerce directorate j
last Saturday for the stabilization
of the dollar, and as meaning the '
deferment of stabilization either of '
the gold price or of the dollar.
Morgenthau discussed the situa- i
tion with treasury heads yesterday
and conferred with the executive 1
committee of the federal advisory I
council, which latter now is in ses- <
sion here. Later he indicated that \
funds in the possession of the farm
credit administration, of which he i
formerly was governor, and funds 1
on deposit with the postal savings (
system would be employed to bolster
up the government bond market if ;
that should be deemed necessary. I
Another Economist Retires
A further development in the in- t
tra-administration riff over the
“sound money” issue is expected to- t
morrow, with the announcement of
the resignation of Prof. O. M. W. f
Sprague, who has been special ad- 1
viser to Secretary of the Treasury
Woodin, and opposed to the present t
monetary program, and of the ap- 1
pointment of another to be the j
“right bower" of the new treasury
head. Herbert Gaston, who has been I
an assistant to the latter, is one of \
the quartet that he is bringing to I
the treasury from the farm credit
administration. (

Status Of Pay Of
Rural Letter Carriers:
Instead Of Receiving An Increase.!
Thev Are Still Losing 25 Ter
Cent, Says Paper.
(From National Rural Letter Car
rier Magazine.)
Under the Hoover administration
the rural carriers were cut 8 1-2
per cent on their basic salary and [
one-eighth of their equipment al-i
lowance which was four cents per!
mile. Under the present admtnis-!
tration they were cut from fourj
cents per mile to one cent per mile i
for the period extending from July j
t to November 1. and 15 per cent on\
the basic salary Everyone knows!
that to run an automobile it takes j
more than one cent per mile for the j
gas, oil. tires and repairs.
Recently this administration has
promised to pay the rural carriers
three cents per mile from Novem
ber -to February 28 which is still
one cent less than they are allowed
Much confusion has resulted from j
this partial restoration of the. equip- j
ment allowance and the press has I
sidded to this confusion by stating |
lhat the rural carriers had received j
s 200 per cent increase. In reality.)
they are still losing 25 per cent as
provided by law.
Statistics prove that starting and
stopping an automobile fifty times
is equivalent to driving twenty
miles without stopping.
During the next six months the
ruial service will be subjected to a
severe test, as legislation is antici
pated that will reorganize the rural
service. As the rural mail service is
the only daily service the farmers
receive the government, it would be
wise to keep in touch with the sit
uation. Rural routes are being con
solidated at the present time at the
rate of one hundred per week. In
this manner the expense of han
dling rural mail is being decreased.
Road conditions have not improved
much, during the past ten years for
the rural carriers as most of the
work has been done on the high
ways for general traffic.
Rural carriers must take a civil
service examination before they are
permitted to handle the mail, and
while the farmer only receives one
delivery per day the city people re
;elve three deliveries per day in
business districts arrd two in resi
dential districts.
