Perauimans folks who are asked to buy the Easter Seals for the aid of crippled children now on sale will be interested to know how a portion oi the monev derived from the seals sale is scent. Half of the funds raised from the ..seal sale in Perquimans will be re tained in the county. Only' one Easter Seals sale cam paign has been conducted heretofore. The money was used to defray the expense of transporting a .crippled child to and from the hospital, for purchasing special shoes for the child and for braces. This particular crippled child, now nine years old, was born with both legs bent backwards from the knees beneath the body. Few probably know that there was in Perquimans a child in this condition. When the case came to the attention of the Perquimans Welfare Department in 1986 the child, then seven years old, received her first corrective treat ment, through the efforts of Miss Ruth Davenport, County Welfare Officer. The child has spent approximately 'six months in the Orthopedic Hos pital at Gastonia, having received treatment continuously at home dur- inor the tMriwfa intorveninir between her trips to the hospital. Her crooked little legs have been straightened, and though they are still in light casts, the child is now able to walk with the aid of crutches and special walking shoes. Physi cians say she will eventually walk as other children walk. Not all little children run about on , strong legs. Dont turn down the bright-faced youngster who asks you to buy Eas ter Seals.

THE STRONG Ai:;.I - ini7is!:i::sTc;i I WMT TXXIX8 PUCE I BY UNITED STATES SENATOR The high degree of interest being shown in the proposals .pending in Congress for organization -of the executive branches of the government las caused many people to fee) 'that this is a new and reyolutionaxypeas are. However, the effort ' to -fcbordr-iate Federal activities and thereby iliminate duplication and confusion tea been given attention since the turn of the century. As far back as 1903, President Fheodore Roosevelt appointed a com mittee to. study the problem aud it suggested many reforms and recom mendations which were submitted to the Congress. But aside from some changes in scientific and statistical services, the proposal was not given serious consideration. Later in 1910, President Taft appointed a commis sion on economy and efficiency, which was approved by the Congress. However, when it came to accepting the findings of this commission, the Congress failed to act. In 1918, in 1920, in fact at periodic intervals Dver a long period of years, various measures dealing with governmental reorganization have been before Congress. ; 5 a President Hoover, immediately af ter his -inauguration, appointed com mittees to study reorganization, and a few consolidations were made; This authority given to President Hoover was much broader than the authority pending legislation would giv to President .Roosevelt ' ( In fact, on March 20, 1938, Presi dent Roosevelt was given great pow ers by Congress, . but these powers had to be exercised within two yean, and the pressure of other business relating to the emergencies prevented the White House from acting. ; .; :: The reason why government reor ganization should properly be handled by the President was clearly explain ed on the floor of the - Senate? bv Senator. Green of Rhode Island, t. He said:" ,"... 1 , "It is quite obvious why the .Con Tress has always failed ta act ore; the recommendations rof ithe'. vaHous Presidents.' ; The same1 treason --Z hold good in the future. .Any reor : ;i n to 16 i s V' -"' p-H (r m t -. ) f ' j I ;u:ii: nc " ganization must necessarily call for transfers of functions from one de partment to another and for the elimination of certain departments; and so of certain officeholders. Con gressmen with , person and local inter estB, objecting to the elimination oi their friends or constituents, join to gether in opposition, and unitedlj make that opposition effective. So the only practical way is to leave the matter to the President, as has beei proposed during other administra tions." Obviously, reorganization in gov ernment as in business, must be un dertaken and pushed through wit! the sole objective of the greatest service to the greatest number of people. It is to be expected that when it is proposed to abolish an) bureau or activity, opposition wil come from those involved, , Sections' advantages are also to be considered For example, the West is more in teres ted in public land activities than is the: South. In. turn the South if primarily interested in agricultural activities of the government. Thus it, seems evident that proper consoli dation and reorganisation within thi Federal government must be under taken from a central source. The history of reorganization legis lation would seem to indicate that there are too many differences 0: opinion in Congress to make any real accomplishments in this v direction. This is one of the motivating reasoni behind the effort to have the Presi dent undertake the job. Light Docket In Recorder's Court ,. . . "','.! Only three cases were tried in Recorder's Court : 6n Tuesday.
