Ehringhaus Presented (continued from front page) birth would be accepted without question. The father has been sick, but was again about his duties a few days ago. Certainly i within a few years, at most, the j father would not have been here to make out a certificate of birth J for the Governor of North Caro lina—and much trouble would have ben experienced to estab lish that fact. The certificate was presented as a feature of the “Register Your Baby” campaign now about to end in North Carolina, con ducted by the Bureau of the Cen sus, State Board of Health and State ERA.

Bost Raleigh, Mar. 11.—“The Bur eau of the Census, in making an investigation of the completeness of birth registration in many states, has initiated a campaign which should terminate in a per manent program that should com mend itself to every citizen,” said Mrs. W. T. Bost, State Com missioner of Public Welfare, in a statement endorsing the State Board of Health, State ERA and Census Bureau baby registration campaign. “The State Department of Public Welfare is thoroughly in acccord with efforts of the State Board of Health to secure a complete birth registration and feels that it should have full cooperation of all local and State agencies to that end. This department has frequent occasion to refer to the Bureau of Vital Statistics for verification of the birth dates of children whose mothers make application for Mothers’ Aid, as the ages of the children determine the amount of the grant, when the grant should be decreased or discontinued,” said Mrs. Bo3t.

Regrets To Leave (continued on back page) beans, and other cash crops which have brought thousands of dol lars into the county. Assistance has been given farm ers in selling beef cattle, and this assistance has in most cases meant much better prices for the cattle that were sold. Cooperative purchases of feeds, seeds and fertilisers have been made with the result that the cooperative farmers have been able to get the best of these products at the lowest prices possible. In 1932 twenty thousand pounds of Kidney and Birdeye beans were sold for the fanners when they had no market for these products. In 1934 'there were 82 wench silos filled in the count}'vand this ensilage is helping the farm ers of the county to solve their winter feeding problems. Last year there were 183 Corn Hog contracts and 51 Tobacco contracts signed in the county. The benefit payments from these contracts will amount to 815,000 and at least one-third of this amount will be clear profit to the farmers.

Laws Regarding Mortgage Lending Are Of Interest Those Connected With i Federal Housing Work In North Carolina Are Particularly Concerned Washington, Mar. 12.—Enact ment by the State of North Caro lina of legislation with respect to mortgage lending should be of the very greatest interest to all who are concerned with the pro gram of the Federal Housing Ad ministration. Under the new laws all such financial institutions as state banks and trust companies, build ing and loan associations and other lending agencies are auth orized to make mortgage loans in accordance with the terms and conditions laid down for insured mortgages in the National Hous ing Act.That is to say, such loans may be made against first mortgages in amounts up to 80 per cent of the appraised value of property and for periods of as long as 20 years, provided that the mortgage requires monthly payments on principal and inter est sufficient to pay it off by the time it falls due, and con forms- in other retspects to the requirements of the National Housing Act and the regulations laid down by the Federal Hous ing Administration. . Under this new state legislation, all financial institutions subject to the state law are now placed in a position of competitive equal ity with the national banks oper ating in the state. It will be recalled that under the National Housing Act itself all national banks are authorized to make long-term loans up to 80 per cent of appraised values against insured mortgages. Thus the last obstacle to complete co operation on the part of every financial institution in the state has been cleared away. All institutions which have not already done so may now send in their applications to the Fed eral Housing Administration for approval as lenders under the in sured mortgage plan. Utilities Attack By Roosevelt is Loudly Applauded Washington, Mar. 12.—The sys tem under which holding com panies in large financial centers control the price of gas and elec tricity in far corners of the United States was denounced to day by President Roosevelt in a blistering message to Congress. He urged passage of legislation which would strip such concerns of their grasp on power rates and said the concentration of control in the hands of large utility concerns wee “private soc ialism.” Unless checked, the President added, it will lead to governmental socialism. Mr. Roosevelt’s message sttrred a storm of applause from the Democratic benches in the House. Members leaped to their feet and hammered their palms together, and it was several minutes be fore Speaker Joseph W- Byrns could gavel them back to order. u NEGRO IS LYNCHED Slayden, Miss,, Mar. 12,—A mob of about 50 men late today lynched a Negro, Ab Young, ac cused of killing Hardy Mackie, 45, here Saturday night The Negro went to his death singing religious songs and pray ing.
