MEEKINS Secretary-Treasurer VoL XVII Manteo, N. C., Friday, March 7. 1952 No. 37 FEDERAL AID TO STATES During the seven-year period ending June 30, 1951, the State of North Carolina received from the Federal Govern ment aid in the amount of more than a billion and a quarter dollars. This did not represent federal payrolls, buying of goods, services and interests. This $1,246,700,037 was paid to individuals and to state and local governments in connec tion with Federal programs. Almost half of this vast sum was paid since World War TT It poses the question: “Now that the states have become used to Federal handouts, will they give them up ?” In the post World War II years, 1947-51, the state total was $615,465,886. The bulk of the remainder was paid in the “depression and prewar period,” the total of this 1934-42 period being $419,974,327 for the state. And in the “emer gency war period”—l942-46—the state’s total was $211,- 259,824. Biggest single item among the federal payments to the state and its residents over the entire 18-year period was the $372,198,251 for Veterans Administration’s readjust ment benefits and vocational rehabilitation. Other major items were the total of $186,291,430 for the agricultural con servation program; the $48,967,539 for Old Age Assistance; the $29,724,312 in payments to the State under the Social Security Act; and the $32,128,187 from the Public Roads Administration for highways.

Maybe you’re hearing stars Well-1, here’s a thing that made us rub our eyes when we read it last week: “Like a star in heaven in the broad daylight, you are not seen, but yet you are heard.” (Maybe we should have rubbed our ears?) « * * You know how ponderously humorless most news commenta tors are. In case you’ve conclud ed that the whole lot of ’em are ghouls, try listening to Edward R. Murrow for a refreshing change. The analysis he made of political speeches for his pro gram on Washington’s birthday &as as full of wit as his fellow commentators are of wind . . . Murrow has another asset as at tractive as his fine speeking voice: he doesn’t prtend to be omnipotent, in which humble pose he is unique among com mentators. This can hardly be true, of course, really, we don’t think the fellow has an axe to grind. ♦ ♦ ♦ The postman always rings twice? That’s impatience com pared to the reiterated knocking of the equinox at the Outer Banks. We used to think an equi noctial gale was a thing that paid SOME attention, at least, to the 21st of September and 21st of March. Ti e equinox knocks that reverberated down here through the whole month of November last year, and those that began thumping at the Banks two weeks ago, a full month early, have caused us to revise our opinion. On Cape Hatteras Is land, we now believe, an equi noctial ga'c is oi.e which comes between periods of fine weather at the beginning, middle or end or any month, and is character ized by day after day of cold, blowing rain, skies full of scud d;ng clouds and the oddest gray est, most funereal, filtered-out sunlight imaginable. And what’s the oddest thing of all about these ought-to-be gloomy gales? They’re stimulating. Don’t ask why. They’re stimulating, that’s all. It’s something more than just having the knowledge that it’s going to be so fine when the gale blows over. What it is, we can’t fathom. But it’s as real as the gales themselves and just as FIVE OCLOCK DISTILLED LONDON DRY f GIN 1 FULL PINT s|Bo asj 4/5 QUART $ 2 8 . 5 SB 85 Proof tHitillad frM Grata • OObIRHA* * WORTS LTD.

The Virginian-Pilot’s three - decker headline on page one of its Feb ruary 29 issue read: GEORGIA’S RUSSELL MAKES BID FOR DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION: TRUMAN TO STAY QUIET MOUTH.
