City Directory Project Gains Lions Club International Fame Shelby has received international notice through the city directory project recently completed by the local Lions club. In the June is sue o£ "The Lion,” international publication o! this organization, is a paragraph about the above men tioned project which states: "Shelby, N, C.. has just complet ed an activity which has been car ried out by very lew Lions Clubs before. It has published a city di rectory of 350 pages, well bound in cloth, comparable in style with the directories issued in the larger cities.

The Lions :n Low Attendance In State Schools May Mean Less Tutors Commission Meets On Allotment Plan RALEIGH, June 8.—Decreased average daily attendance in public schools of the state during the year Just closed will mean a reduc* tion in the number of teachers next- year unless the state school commission lightens the teacher load, LcRoy Martin, secretary to the commission, says. Last term was the first in many years that average daily attendance has shown a decrease. The attend ance figures have not been worked out but reports from all but 40 units Indicate that there will be a de crease The average daily attend ance for 1932-33 was 725,000 Study New Policy The commission is to meet to be gin a study of policy to be followed for allotment of teachers for 1934 35 The average daily attendance for 1932-33 was approximately 725.000 and the figure for this year has not yet been worked out, though pre liminary reports show it will be smaller. The present teacher load Is: High schools, four teachers for the first 80 pupils and one additional teach er for each 35 additional pupils; elementary, six teachers for the first 180 pupils and one additional teacher for each 36 additional pu | pils. Two Reasons l\Jr. Martin attributed the de crease in attendance to two fac tors: Epidemics of state-wide na ture and the fact that the reports are based on eight months of school rather than on six months as has been the case in previous years. * "There -have been an unusually large number of epidemics,” he said, "and attendance always is better for six months than it is for eight months."

The conference pays for two meals daily for the delegates dur ing the five days of the meeting.

Guarantee Will Be Doubled On Bank Deposit: House And Senate Agree On Com promise. Defeat Payment To Depositors. WASHINGTON. June 8.—Disputes over one form of federal aid to de positors in closed banks and exten sion of the temporary plan for gov ernmental Insurance of bank depos its were brought to a compromise yesterday by senate and house con ferees. They agreed upon legislation to authorize RFC loans to closed banks on "reasonable” security rather than the requirement of "adequate” security specified in the present law. In addition they agreed to double the maximum deposit guarantee, raising it from the present $2,500 to $5,000 and to extend for. one year the period in which state banks must become members of the Fed eral Reserve system in order td participate in (he deposit insurance plan. Agitation for government relief to citizens with deposits tied up in closed banks has been vigorously carried on throughout the session, particularly in the house where ad ministration leaders have resorted to much parliamentary maneuver ing to defeat the McLeod bill, to pay such deposits in full. Banking Opposition The dispute over the deposit in surance extension is tied in which banking opposition to the perma nent insurance law, which was to have become effective within a few weeks. The permanent law, the effec tive date of which is postponed for one year, would guarantee deposits to a maximum of $10,000 in full, with larger deposits partially in sured on a sliding scale. Under the present temporary law, the participating banks are assessed a small percentage of the deposits insured to which the gov ernment adds $50,000,000, forming a pool from which to pay the claims of depositors in failing banks. As amended by yesterday’s con ference agreement, the government’s participation would be shifted to the RFC. with that agenrv author ized to lend the federal deposit In surance corporation $250,000,000 on demand.

Moot Important besides the bud get will be the consideration the commissioners, Joe E. Blanton, J, D. Morris and Lester Herndon wll! give to contracts for a form agent with an assistant and a home dem onstration agent. The state haa laid before the commissioners a con tract calling for a county agent and an assistant, since the work has grown beyond one agent.

Hie local board looks with more favor , upon a "two-piece" health depart ment with a graduate physician in charge, assisted? by a graduate nurse. The state offers to pay fif teen percent of the coat of the health department and It Is under stood that the Bed Cross will pay the nurse. After these two supple ments form the state and Red I Cross, It is felt that the county can maintain a "two piece" health de partment for about 12,400 a year. Heretofore the county physician has been paid from 11.000 to $1,200 an --!-— ' ■ ■ -.— nuftlly. The county has had no phy Kleinn since the resignation of Dr D. F. Moore becattae or a cut In quarantine fees, It will be recalled that the commissioners and the physicians disagreed over the health clinic conducted last year. More people were vaccinated than anticipated and the clinic cost has never been paid, but Troy McKin ney says the balance will be paid after the new budget is set up. In ease a health department is set up with a physician in charge, he would attend the sick at the Jail, county home and approved charity cases, while the nurse and the phy sician would conduct vaccination clinics.
