v - As one of the pioneer "good roads"
i; states and one of the few states to
Include' secondary roads' in the pri
mary system, North Carolina has a
Vital interest in pending; legislation
;ith reference to Federal-aid. The
'-measure is of particular importance
' to rural areas and scores of commun
j ities now largely dependent on high
-jway transportation.- Obviously, if
-TFederal funds are curtailed, the
State will be forced to boost its cur
rent road outlays to maintain the
. present construction and maintenance
r program.
, At the present time North Carolina
.- secures .approximately $4,746,208 an
1 anally from the Federal Government
?, for building primary state roads, sec-
, ondary or farm-to-market roads and
for grade-crossing elimination. The
present outlook is that there will be
no substantial decrease in this
amount in the Immediate future, al
though some changes in Federal-aid
highway policies may come,
' In this connection, proposals to
criss-cross the country with super
highways financed by tolls are not re
ceiving the attention they had a few
weeks ago. It is extremely unlikely
that there will be any action on these,
bnt studies by the Bureau of Public
Roads may be authorized.
The situation with regard to Fed
eral-aid for road-building is some
what as follows:
' Current annual authorizations for
highway projects of all kinds are
around $238,000,000. As above stat
ed, North Carolina's share iff about
14,760,000. Last November, the Presi
dent recommended to the Congress
that the authorizations for the fiscal
year, '1939 be cancelled, and that all
antfinrlvjitinTia anhaervnAnt. ttfcava
' xbe limited to (125,000,000. When
ffr the Congress failed to act, the Sec re
tary of Agriculture, at the request of
the President, called upon the gov
' ernors to hold up submission of pro
' Jects for the fiscal year, 1939. How
ever, on March 18, the Secretary
wrote another letter to the governors
in which he said" "
"The President now feels that you
should not be asked to further delay
the submission of the road-building
projects of your state, and accord
, - Jngly I suggest that such projects be
now submitted in the order of their
priority." This letter had the effect
of removing all doubt as regards the
1989 funds as previously authorized
' by Congress.
More recently, the House Commit-
tee on Roads has agreed to urge upon
Congress a continuation of funds for
r the fiscal years 1940 and 1941, on the
- same basis as for the fiscal years
1938 and 1989. If this recommenda-
.ftion is supported in both the House
and the Senate, it will mean that
there will be a curtailment of Federal
v road funds.
The importance of these funds to
the states is indicated by the fact
that they are available for new con-
' struction. With expansion of road
systems and heavy traffic, states have
been hard pressed to keep abreast
with maintenance i needs. Thus the
. Federal money has been at great im
portance in assisting- the H states to
meet, the demands for new roads. It
all means that Federal " funds for
T-road-buildlng will be a. live issue .be
fore Congress adjourns. ",

Colored Children
Rid Community Of
Youngsters Competing
For Prize For Larg
est Collection
A concrete example of what the
Clean-Up Campaign is going to mean
in Hertford might have been seen
last week when 8,564 empty tin cans
were hauled away from the Colored
School in Hertford.
These tin cans had been collected
by the school children, who are com
peting for that cash prize of a dollar
which Miss Gladys Hamrick has of
fered to the child who gathers the
largest number of tin cans and takes
them to the school house during the
period beforeApril 30.
There were four cart loads of the
cans. They had been gathered from
back yards, along the river shore, in
trash piles; in fact, wherever one
could be found.
Meantime, the idea of the Clean
Up Campaign is spreading. The
Town Criers endorsed the campaign
at their meeting on Friday night.
Already it had been endorsed by the
directors of the body, as well as by
the Town Council.
The Woman's Club, which met on
Thursday afternoon, also endorsed
the movement and the members were
asked to spread the news, to tell
their neighbors and to let every one
know that the week between April
24 and April 30 is Better Homes
Week all over America, and that in
Perquimans it is being observed
specifically as Clean-Up Week.
