Teachers Saved Credit Of State, Declares Martin "Time To Give Them Credit,” Say* Editor Proposing New Plan To Finance Schools. “The teachers of North Carolina for two years have saved the credit of this state. That’s a great honor, Believing in the rotation of honors, and it is time now for somebody else to have that honor, even if we have to call on the bondholders to help.” Santford Martin, editor of the Winston-Salem Journal and the Twin-City Sentinel, paid this tri bute to the staters teachers at a dinner here Friday night, attended by more than 200 in observance of National Education week. The Amer ican Legion sponsored the dinner. Mr. Martin was introduced by Clyde R. Hoey, who himself was in troduced by Commander Everett Houser as “the next governor of North Carolina—if he wants to be.” B. L. Smith, superintendent of the Shelby public schols, spoke in high praise of the loyal teachers, and Judge Bismarck Capps of Gastonia, president of the Piedmont council Boy Scouts of America, urged the gathering to support his organiza tion. Civic Clubs Attend The meeting was attended by Legionnaires, Rotarians, Kiwanians, Lions, teachers and members of the P. T. A. “Our credit was saved by spend- I ing $’2,225,000 less for schools than we spent in 1930-31,” Mr. Martin said. "Back then we spent $28, 000,000. “Textile workers struck this year because of alleged stretchout. Their wages, however, were not cut. The teachers have been stretched out, slashed and stretched again. But they have stood by their posts.” Two Emergencies The state faces two great emer gencies in education, the editor said; first, the Immediate deficit of $700,000 in the school fund. He suggested that this be met by ap plying for part of the $48,000,000 the federal government has set up j for education, and that teachers' j salaries be raised. He wants the i state to apply for $1,200,000 instead j of a half million. “If we can’t get that, use the highway fund,” he said. “There’s a (Continued on Page Eight) This will be the first time author itative word has been brought first hand to Cleveland on the 1935 cot ton reduction program. Washington Proposals. In the meantime, announcements follow announcements from Wash ington on next year’s proposals. The new farm program to be pre sented next year will turn sharply away from acreage restric tion and a domestic allotment plan will be put forward; moreover, the Bankhead control bill will be put before the farmers for a referendum •duing the second week in December. Jones Program. Chairman Jones. Texas Democrat, of the house agricultural commit tee, will recommend the domestic al lotment plan, he says, by which the grower would be paid benefits only on that part of his production de stined for consumption in this country, being free to produce as much as he desires for the world markets. He said he believed this plan, which would become effective upon expiration of the present cotton and wheat production contracts, could be placed into effect without “ma terial modification" to the act, but made it clear that he was going to demand that modification. Vote On Bankhead. After a year’s trial of the Bank head act, which sought to limit na tional production to 10,460,291 bales, the farm administration announces that it will ask the fanners: "Art you in favor of continuing the Bank head act for next year?” The exact date at which the poll will be taken, at 8,000 balloting plac es throughout the nation, has not been finally determined. Secretary Wallace said the results of this vote will have no bearing whatsoever on the voluntary con trol plan. This will be re-opened for new signers within a few weeks. Rental and benefit payments for next year will continue on much the same basis as prevailed this year, he said. Everyone who has a legal right to produce cotton, landlord, renter, share-cropper or owner, will be eli gible to vote on the Bankhead Bill.

Make It Impossible to get out of this sentence by paying a fine. "8tate automobile drivers’ licenses and safety confer ences are bosh. Moreover, the courts don't enforce even the taws we have. I never heard of a man betng arrested tor speeding In this county.” Motor Gub Asks Drivers Licenses To End Accidents Not For Revenue But An Means Of Herniation; Aik More Highway Improvement. Directors of the Carolina Motor Club have approved the proponed plan for a State-wide driver’s li cense law for regulatory purpoaee only, and adopted a report calling for lncreane appropriation for high way maintenance and advocating discontinuance of a new road con struction tor a period of years. The reporta were made by com mittees which have been studying major phases of automotive safety and taxation lor the past year. They strongly opposed diversion of highway revenue, and called upon the Federal government to stop •’baiting" North Carolina into con struction of new roads until they are needed. Dr. Malcolm McDermott of Duke University, presented the report of the motor vehicle taxation commit tee which Is headed by E. O. Brooks, Jr., of Durham. The high way safety report was submitted by John W. Aiken of Hickory, for mer State Senator, who regretted that the roads committee of the 1933 Senate refused to consider a proposed driver's license law. Both committee reports will be published and made available to the public as soon as possible. Cole man W. Roberts, president of the Carolina Motor Club, stated. Oeo. Stanabury, of Greensboro, chair man of the board of directors, pre sided over the meeting. Sees Driver License. Mr. Aiken predicted that a driv er’s license law bill "will pass the next legislature almost unanimous ly because of the demand being made for highway safety by the people of North Carolina.” The plan his committee proposed would not be revenue-raising. One year's driving experience would be prima facia evidence of a motor ist’s qualification, while those with out experience would be examined by the State Motor Vehicle Bureau before securing licenses. No person under 16 would be allowed to quali fy. President Coleman said the State in order to enforce such a law, should appropriate $1,000,000 for the motor vehicle bureau, and increase the strength of the highway patrol to 200 men. In addition, he sold, there should be a safety education division in the bureau. Dr. McDermott sounded the key note of his committee’s report when he said "the motorists of North Carolina are bearing enough tax burdens.” Cotton Growers Crowd Office To Get Government Allotments Unable to serve all their clients through their office door, Bob Shoffner, and Alvin Propst, who have the task of distributing cotton money and gin certificates, this week opened two windows to their court house office and transacted business through them.

More than 100 certificates on the 10 per cent allowance have been distributed, and about 200 transfers are made daily. In addi tion to this, the office makes about 200 sales a day from the surplus allotment. j Mance Nance Dies Under Automobile In Grover Wreck Five White Boy.
