While gasoline has been selling
at II cents in Asheville and
Greenville, it has been costing
motorists Is cents in Tryon, 20
cents in Hendersonville and 21.3

well as wholesalers are affected
by the differential, it was pointed
out. because of the profit mar
gins and reduced volume. At the
17-cent price, retail dealers are

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Af-

meeting of the North Carolina So
ciety, Governor and Mrs. J. C. B.
Ehringhaus left for Raleigh yes
terday following a busy round of
departments by the governor at
which he secured first hand infor-
nation as to a number of matters
pending in the state,
That the governor will ask the
General Assembly when it con-
venes in January to appropriate
funds to supplement federal allot-
ments was admitted after a con-
ference with Harry l.. Hopkins,
relief administrator. The govern
or and Hopkins lunched together
and spent over an hour talking
over the relief situation in the
state.
Both Hopkins and Ehringhaus
expressed the opinion that there
would be no trouble in adjusting
the differences between the state
and federal governments whereby
federal relif funds would continue
to be available for North Caro-
lima. Hopkins had listed North
Carolina as one of IA states not
carrying their load in providing
relief and indicated that unless
there was a change of policy fed
eral funds would be discontinued.

conference and we fully under
stand the problems of each 9TH

talk with the relief director.
Gust as the governor said"
Hopkins put in, 'twe had a very
satisfactory conference and | am
sure we will work this thing out.
You can say we are no longer
worried about North Carolina do
ing her part"
Asked about charges r.: Sena-
tor Borah to the effect that relief
money ;ras being squandered in
a number OF states. Governor Ehr-
inghaus said this was not the case
in North Carolina, and that funds
were being properly expended and
every dime being made to count.
For the nation as whole lie
cents out of every relief dollar
goes for administration. Ehring-
haus said the cost of administra-
ton in North Carolina will be less
than this.
Neither Hopkins nor Ehring-
haus would indicate how much
North Carolina will be expected
to put up for relief. The governor
said he presented to Hopkins
North Cardinals financial condi-
ton and he was satisfied the re-
lief director "has better under

PARIS, Nov. 21.-(UP)-Prin-
cess Marina, of Greece-now call
ed Princess Pandora because OF
her magic box filled with we'd
ding dresses and costly jewels
finished packing last night pre-
paratory to departing at 8 a. m
today for London to become the
Thanksgiving day bride of the
Duke of Kent. youngest son OF
the King and Queen of England,
Thorough precautions were or
dered against accident on the
princess voyage to London. Spe-
cial police inspected the railroad
bed to Calais, on the English
Channel. Her train will be pre-
coded by a pilot engine. Extra
mobile guards were drafted to
Calais from Boulogne to handle
the crowds.
The princess spent her last day
in Paris before her marriage next
Thursday in London, in a 'whlrl
of preparations. She insisted on
packing her beautiful clothes and
sending off her trunks personally.
At the station this morning were
thousands of Parisians, including
the "Midinettes" who made her
trousseau.
The estimated cost of keeping
ND her wardrobe each year is
$50, 900, which is less than the an
nual cost of the "well dressed wo-
man" in New York.
Marina goes to the hair-dresser
once a week, but fixes her own
coiffeur most of the time.
Her trousseau contains mod
est assortment of evening gowns,
and morning and afternoon
frocks. The keynote of these is
white, with a preference when
color is used for blues and beige
trimmed in black. white or MA
rina green" created in her honor,
Special wraps and hats go with
each outfit.
She was worried last night
about the duty she must pay on
envertuining England. Although
to wed Prince George (the Duke

she has not been granted courtesy
of the ports.

$4,000 BEING SPENT HERE
FOR HOME IMPROVEMENTS, IS
BELIEF OF CAMPAIGN HEAD
Local Effort One of 1850
Organized Community
Campaigns in Nation

Keeping step with the rapid
pace set by the 1850 campaign
committees in other parts of the
country, Hendersonville's better
housing campaign has resulted in
the allotment of $4,000 to home
Improvement projects, according to
an estimate made today by Com
munity Chairman Roy C. Bennett.
So rapid is the pace, he said,
that an actual shortage of skilled
labor in the building trades exists
in some communities. while bank
clearings and business generally
has increased as the volume Of
modernization work has grown. In
Hendersonville, $4,000 in direct
loans have been made to SO pert
sons by the State Trust company,
while perhaps $4,000 obtained
from other sources is being spent.
Contractors, carpenters, painters
and other workmen have been un-
usually busy.
Mr.. Bennett went on to say:
Temporary suspension of the
housing canvasses has been re-
quested in some cities by contrac-
tors who want to catch up with
contracts already signed. They
cannot get sufficient skilled labor
for the work"
But skilled laborers and con-
tractors are by no means the only
ones benefitting directly from the
better housing campaigns, Mr..
Bennett pointed out. Building
material manufacturers are SO
busy that some have doubled the
number of employees on their pay
rolls. he said, while one lumber
company in Massachusetts, distri-
buted an entire carload of storm
windows in one day.
"More pay envelopes have
stimulated business here in Hen
Jacksonville as they have through
out the country" Mr.. Bennett
continued. much of the money
in the pay envelopes of the people
put to work by the better housing
campaign goes straight to the re.
tail store. And bank clearings
have advanced with building per-
mits. For instance, Little Rock,
Ark, reported 65 per cent gain
in bank clearings last month over
October, 1888"
Latest news from the federal
housing administration in Wash
ington shows that $3.50 campaigns
have been organized, he said,
while more than 10 thousand
banks with resources of over SO
billion dollars have been approx
ed for granting modernization
loans. Over $4,000 loans have
been granted.
'"But the amazing thing is that
work paid for in cash is far great
err than the amount financed by
loans," Mr.. Bennett explained.
Neither in Hendersonville nor
elsewhere in the United States
are the number of modernization
loans indicative of the amount
of modernization work, as
the f air ratio is believed
to be around four to one; al
though it ranges from twice. as
much in some cities to more than
10 times as much in others. Hence
the actual modernization work
now under way amounts to over
SO million dollars, and it is just
getting a good start"
Benefits will not be temporary,
Mr.. Bennett continued. The bet
ter housing program in West Vir-
GINA, he said, has paved. the way
to carry on the work permanently
through a newly organized asso-
