Toys From American Predominate
On Market For Holiday Season
■ from Business. Week.*
Retail business is now well into;
the fevered period when every in-;
dustry bally hoot its product as *
suitable Christmas gift. You are
urged to give your loved ones a ton
of coal, or a bushel of potatoes or
6 cans of floor wax. Because of re
duced family budgets the current
drive of extra-holiday goods is es
pecially strong. f
Here is only one difficulty faced
by the toy Industry this year.
Thanksgiving marks the traditional
opening for toy departments. Shop
ping days between that and Dec.
25 have a direct bearing on sales.
Thanksgiving came this year on
Nov. 30, leaving but 20 shopping
days until Christmas, or exactly
one shopping week less than last
year. Some stores Opened before
the turkey anniversary, but sales
showed that, by and large, the pub
lic adheres to the old habit.
In New York toy retailers suffer
ed temporary panic when It was re
ported that people %ere so en
grossed In legal liquor that they
were not thinking of buying any
thing else. Calm surveys disprove
thsi unworthy charge. Feelings were
further relieved when the depart
ment of Justice ruled that the
mails are barred to liquor ship
ments. even within the borders of
wet states. Generally, buyers are
following ancient grooves and It is
hoped that this year will better
the $190-milllon toy sales estimat
ed for last Christmas.
Internationa] money squabbles
are benefiting American manufac
turers. James L. Prl, managing di
rector of the Toy Manufacturers of
the U.8A., declared that 90 percent
to 9S percent of the toys sold this
year are of domestic origin. Import
figures prove that the cheaper dol
lar. aided by resentment against
Herr Hitler, has cost Germany’s
toy makers dearly.
In normal years Americans buy
four millions worth of toys from
Germany. For the first 9 months of
last year Germany sold us nearly
one million worth, Japan trailing
with $731,000. This year positions
were reversed with Japan's total
$887,000. Germany’s only $500,000,
Exports for the same period fell,
too—from $855,000 to $598,000
(These go mostly to Canada, where
American habits and sales effort
have wide acceptance*.

Report Shows Six
Millions Balance
In State Treasury
State Will Be Able To Meet Bonds
Due Jan. 1st Of Six Millions.
Big Highway Balance.
By M. R. DUNNAGAN
Raleigh, Dec. 19.—The State
Treasury had a balance ot $6,147,
577.16 at the end of November, in
cluding a balance of $7,226,291.13
In the highway fund and a deficit
of $1,078,714.07 in the general fund,
th? combined statement of the Aud
itor and Treasurer for the month
ending November 30 shows.
With thig balance of slightly
more than $6,000,000 and w-lth fair
collections from the automobile li
cense plates during the remainder
of this month, the State will be
ready to meet the bond and inter
est payments jdue January 1 and
amounting to about $6,500,000, if
collections in December can be
brought about to the point of ex
penditures for tills month. But
December is a slim month in col
lections.
In the general fund, the balance
at the beginning of the month was
$211,100.30 and November collec
tions were $1,533,19061. giving a to
tal of $1,764,191.11, while expendi
tures were $2,842,905.18, leaving the
cash overdraft at the end of the
month of $1,078,714.07. >
In the highway fund, the balance
November 1 was $6,689,436.49 and
the month’s receipts were $3,016,
153.12, a total of $9,705,589.61, While
expenditures were $2,479,298.48,
leaving the balance of $7,226,291.13.
The highway fund had a balance
of $9,113,922.97 at the beginning of
the fiscal year, July 1, and had col
lected $13,799,497.54 since that time,
a total of $22,913,420.51, and has
expanded $15,687,129.13 in the five
months, leaving the balance of $7.
2?6,291.13.
The general fund had a cash
overdraft July 1 of $4,084,932.41 and
received $11,693,891.40, a difference
of $7,608,958.99, and has expanded
in that time $8,6687,673.06, leaving
the deficit of $1,078,714.07. By this
it is seen that the general fund has
absorbed in five months $3,008,218.
34 of the $4,064,932.41 deficit at the
beginning of this fiscal year.
The total State debt now is $179,
814,000, including $167,584,000 in
bonded debts and $12,230,000 in
short-term general fund notes.
More than $3,000,000 of the bonded
debt will be paid January 1, along

Whisky As Medicine
Permitted Hospitals
BrummJtt Write* Asheville Hospi
tal Tarllngton Act Allows
Such Use.
Raleigh. Dec. 18.—Medicmal spir
it, meaning liquor, may be obtain
ed by hospitals as a part o( the
treatment of their patients, Attor
ney General D. G. Brummltt today
wrote Dr. M. A. Griffin, of Appal
achian hall, Asheville, who asked
■
the attorney general for a ruling
on this question.
Representative Bob Davis who
tried to get the legislature in the
mind of his Edgecombe people In
1931. failed to give the state a li
quor bill In which the sales would
have been made by drug stores. Mr.
Davis knew his Edgecombe. That
county voted his way In the late re
peal election. Buncombe went back
on Our Bob. It was necessary to
have some legal help on that moun
tain situation.
Mr. Brummitt, a very ardent dry,
seems to give It. He keeps his feet
on Neath Carolina soli and under
takes to say nothing about the fed->
eral control. Since everybody is in-j
terested In liquor and every possi-!
ble way of getting it legally or il-:
legally, the Brummitt opinion un-'
doubtedly will be Interesting.
