This decision will be of prime importance to North Carolina which has counted heavily on Federal aid. For example, the State now re ceives approximately $4,750,000 a year as its share of Federal partici pation in building main highways, secondary roads and the elimination of grade crossings. Obviously, if this fund is eliminated it will vitally affect construction of roads in North Carolina. It would perhaps, fall heaviest on rural com munities off the State trunk lines. It would also delay the building of much-needed farm-to-market roads of great importance to the farmer. Whatever else may be said of farm conditions, members of Congress are in agreement that improved high ways have added to farm values and bettered the status of agriculture. The situation in Washington is briefly as follows: Up to the present, Federal-aid funds have been author ized two years in advance of actual appropriation of the money. This has been done so that state highway departments might plan ahead and so that legislatures might arrange for the Federal funds to be matched. Under this plan, there has been de veloped a great system of inter state highways criss-crossing the country. Last November, President Roose velt recommended to Congress that authorizations already made for the fiscal year 1939 be cancelled and that Federal road funds for the fiscal years 1940 and 1941 be limited to $125,000,000. This amount is ap proximately one-half of the total au thorized for the fiscal years 1938 and 1939. The President's recommenda tion is still before Congress, although allotment of the 1939 funds has been made to the states. Secondary or farm-to-inarket roads are involved along with aJU other Federal-aid high way projects; In the face of this, unsettled situa tion, proposals are now made for the government to use its credit in spon soring ' the building of transconti nental and North and South super highways, to be financed by tolls and profits from excess right-of-way. There is general agreement that super-highways are desirable. But a few important questions are present ed. These are: - Can the government afford at this time to issue new billions of highway bonds? Would super-highways draw sufficient traffic and sufficient tolls to pay interest and retire the bonds? What would be the effect on the Fed eral-aid system and state highways? Would the Federal highway bonds af fect state market roads? Can mo torists, now paying more than a bil lion dollars, in special taxes, bear i new burden of a half billion or moire a year in tolls? To get answers to these questions and help determine Federal policies with reference to road expenditures, hearings will be held by Congressional committees and will be followed with interest by everyone concerned with the .development and maintenance of adequate highways. Ot. may -also be anticipated jthat the President will make further state ments as regards his thoughts on the subject. As Governor of New, York, he .had ample opportunity to gain first-hand information on the impor tance of .Federal-aid to the states. Moreover1, lie has long been high way enthusiast u - - jf Whatever may finally result in the way of: new'.- Federal road policies; it is .evMent that highway progress is vitally linked-withHhe welfare of the nation and, there Is agreement that eyerything pessiple must be a one to keep' it mavuig on a somur MSie.'

Then what's become of all those machines with dials that spun when you pulled the lever? You weren't watching closely, Wilbur. You had to put a nickle in those machines before you could pull the lever and sometimes the machines dropped a whole hatful of funny looking' tokens that were redeemable by the proprietor. And the State of NorthCarolina says that's gambling, Wilbur. '' So" there's the reason you don't see them any more. W i know they were in town for quite a while, Wilbur, but you failed to notice that restraining order past ed to ' -these machines. But since then Judge Meekins has issued anoth er court order and this one isn't pasted on the machines. The last one declares that the "Silent Sales men" are likely to appeal to our gambling instincts and they must be out of town by February 25th. Where will you get candy mints now? You might try the candy counters, Wilbur, but who wants to hnw mintB at , ean,v You couidn't possibly win anything that way and besides, it's no fun.

They were suspended Thurs day because they've collected 15 de merits each during the school year. They'll be back after five days in which to think over their errors without being bothered with studies. Some of these cases were compli cated too, Wilbur. One boy was a bus driver and he had the faculty over a barrel because he was the only driver available on that bus. No, Wilbur, the bus didn't stop running. They finally recruited a driver from another bus. One fellow wanted to arrange his five days of sorrow so that they would fall on Mondays he could find convenient outside work on Mondays, but the faculty couldn't see it that way.
