PANTEGO, N. c., Jan. 10
Pantego is without question the
biggest town in North Carolina
in area. In fact, Pantego has just
discovered that it is 10 times as
big as it thought it was.
PantegO, which has a population
of 400, contains 100 square miles
of territory, taking in about one
third of Beaufort county. The area
is specified in the law passed by
the legislature Incorporating the
town.
"But somebody made a mis-
take" explained Alderman Jimmy
Davenport, "and it has not been
corrected. The area was intended
to be 10 square miles. The law
incorporating the town read 100
square miles"

( BACK TO ORIGINAL FoUN-
DATIoNS IN MORE SUB
STANTIAL MANNER
BY A. p. GIANNINI
Chairman Board of Directors,
Bank of America)

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. TO-.
This country stands in a better
position today to effect recovery
than at any time in the past two
years.
Business is manfully clearing
away the wreckage caused by the
, collapse of grossly inflated bust
ness structures and is getting back
to its original foundations, deter
mined to rebuild in a more sub
stantial manner.
The troublous times through
which we have passed have served
to emphasize and to bring atten-
ton to the incongruities which ex-
list in the making structure of
our nation. Unlike Canada and
England we have held to the pro-
Ivincial ideal of individualism in
banking long after it had become
obsolete in other large enterprises.
This has proved an expensive
luxury.
Despite these structural handi-
caps the banking system as a
whole has successfully withstood
the terrific strain of unreasonable
Withdrawals and is now on a basis
which jastifies the return of pub
lie confidence, recently taken
place.
Congressional attention is being
focused on the banking structure
and it appears certain that some
much needed revisions will be
made, which, If they had been
made earlier in our history, would
unquestionably have decreased the
severity of the depression.
As soon as the war debt un.
certainties are settled and the
policies Of the new administration
are known, business is ready Ia
push forward more aggresSively
and the banks are in a position
to assist by meeting increased
credit requirements.

lea should consider the en-
tire problem in q spirit of
cooperation.
"of vital Importance to
the progress of recovery in
this country Is the reestab-
lishment of a staple relation
ship between the dollar and
foreign currencies thus re-
iieving our price structure
from the most destructive of
all kinds of competition,
namely that of depreciation
of currencies of competing
nations"

SENATE MANNERS
OF JACK GARNER
TRANSITION FROM INFORMAL
ITY OF HOUSE TO DIGNITY
OF SENATE NOW CON-
FRONTS VICE-PRES.-ELECT
By HERBERT PLUMMER
(Dy Associated PreSsl

w AOI1IING1ON, JAN w.
Whether Jack Garner will acquire
"senate manners" and gradually
drift away from associations of
some 80 years standing when he
moves across the capitol next
March A is an oft-debated ques-
ton among those who know the
speaker.
There are several of "Cactus
Jacks" friends who believe it in
evitable that such will be the case.
It's about ISL feet and four inches
from the house chamber to the
senate chamber in the capitol, but
the difference between the two
legislative bodies of the congress
is much greater.
The house does things one way,
the senate another. And both are
exceedingly jealous of their meth
DDS.
Garner has jokingly referred to
the vice presidency as having ruin
ed Charlie Curtis.
at used to be just Charlie" said
Garner. 81 knew him well, played
poker with him, then he became
vice president. He decided he
shouldn't be just Charlie Call me
Mr.. Vice President he finally
commanded"
Senate Changed Others
The transition from the easy in
formality of the house to the at
mosphere of dignity and elaborate
politeness of the senate might have
its effect on Garner at that.
Sitting day after day as presid-
ing officer of the body that still
clings to old-fashioned snuff boxes.
that keeps supply of sand on the
desk of each senator for plotting
has changed the outlook of 9TH
ers. The same thing may happen
to Garner.
And then again it will not, say
others of his friends. They point
that it long has been his proudest
boast that he is a statesman in
homespun. In the 80 years he has
been in congress he has rubbed
shoulders with and has become the
closest of personal friends with
those who were his antithesis in
everything without acquiring their
habits.
He and Nick Longworth were
the most intimate of friends. Gar
.ner never lost an opportunity to
kid Nick about his dandy ways,
poked fun at him on everything
from his love for opera to his
spats.

His announced intention of

There's another indication of
this, too.
