A MORE IDEAL RELIEF TECHNIQUE

The State of Virginia is doing what it is very
desirable that North Carolina should attempt
namely going into partnership with its cities
and counties in the matter of furnishing funds
for relief
If some plan could be devised by which the
Federal government would start such nest
egg channeling it's relief funds down into the
48 States on the basis of the latter providing
some quota of the total and then for these
States to send into cities and counties some ra-
ton of the Federal funds plus their own relief
revenes, far more effective and economical
administration in this field would result in our
judgment
At any rate, Virginia is going at the problem
in the right way: That States government has
provided nearly 100000 for this purpose.
The State appropriations are allocated
among the cities and counties the basis OF
population, and local units must furnish sum
equal to go per cent of the amount supplied by
the State Both State and local funds must be
spent for direct relief, and not for work projects
nor for public homes or similar institutions or
their inmates.
There is also provision that not more than
10 per cent of the funds may be used for admin
strative expenses so that at least 90 per cent OF
the total must go to direct relief.
The State and local funds are administered
by the local welfare departments and workers;
they may not be reappropriated for expenditure
by private agencies.
The county and city governing authorities
fix the manner in which funds are expended
locally subject to the provisions of the State
Act and the general requirements imposed by
the Governor.

DRIVE cAREFULLY-wALK CAREFULLY

The National Safety Council of America has
as its slogan, "Drive carefully-save life In
view of the recent happenings in and around
this city, it might well add, walk carefully
and save yourself"
Out of the four serious accidents that have
occurred recently in the county in connection
with car drivers and pedestrians, the blame
has been laid almost wholly on the one who was
walking.
It is impossible for drivers to be too careful
and too alert to danger, but the most alert driv-
er can seldom avoid an accident when human
body is suddenly put in front if his moving auto
mobile Those who walk the streets and the
highways cannot exercise too much caution
when they are on the thoroughfares, particular
ly if it is a time of the day or night when those
places are crowded.
We have been especially fortunate in this
section in having few fatalities of the kind that
happened within the last month but we have no
wish to keep up the record we have started on
during the past few week ends. With them in
mind and with the unhappiness, pain, and grief
caused in the families concerned, it is time for
us to take the slogan of the National Safety
Council seriously and adhere to it in every way.
Drive carefully, save life. Walk carefully,
save life.

TUESDAY TELLS THE STORY

Next Tuesday tells the political story of the
county and state for two more years and for the
nation for another four. Political polls have
been taken of the land and various prophecies
made, but one irrevocable fact remains: out of
all of the hundreds who are running for office
only half of the number can be elected.
It is assumed that both Democrats and Re-
publicans run their best men since are all,
regardless of party, anxious for our government
to be of the best. Then, it follows, that it is a
great pity and blot on our democratic and
republican form of government that we do nit
always elect the best man, but resort often to
electing the one who has the most money to
spend.
During the campaign, the leaders in both
parties have gone to almost every part of the
county, state, and nation, proclaiming the good
of one party and the downfall of the other.
With good men on both Sides it is hard for the
average citizen to decide which way he con-
scientiously wants to vote if he has waited until
the last minute to make up his mind. To vote
intelligently, he should have been following the
policies of those who have been in office during
the last term and have been reading or listening
to the speeches of those who want to get into
office If he is displeased with things as they
and thinks it would be better to change he
should vote accordingly, or vica versa
The privilege of helping run our government
by using our vote properly should be sacred
one, for the government is what we make it and
we make it by the sort of men we elect to office
We defeat the very purpose for which the voting
power was given us when we allow ourselves
to be bought" and cast our vote against the die
tates of our best judgment
Everybody can't win Tuesday. Let us work
for our side as hard we can until the last
vote is counted; then, if we find we are the

CIVIL SERVICE
BLANKET BILL
ISPLANNED
Rep. Ramspeck Will
Begin Hearings in
Next Two Weeks

Determined efforts toward the
enactment of legislation to give
the President authority to blanket
into the Civil Service all Govern
ment employees in permanent agen-
cies created under emergency leg
islation will be made by Repre-
sentative Robert Ramspeck CD,
of Georgia, chairman of the House
Civil Service Committee.
The Georgian explained today
that he will call his committee to-
gether within the next two weeks
to begin hearings on a proposal
which would carry out this pur-
pose.
Congressional approval of such
a measure during the present Ses-
sion is anticipated, since it was
learned that President Roosevelt
is anxious that legislation of this
type be enacted.
Representative RamSpeck said
today that the proposal he has in
mind would permit the President
to place under the Civil Service
the employees in whatever agencies
he :. elieves will be permanent. The
blanketing-in process would not be
invoked in the case of employees
in agencies which, by their nature,
are not expected to be in existence
for a long period.
Legislation of this nature was
urged by some Federal employee
groups during the last session Of
Congress, but was sidetracked be-
cause of the interest of members
of Congress in more important leg
iSlation.
In the present session. however,
such a situation does not exist,
and it is assumed that the mem.
bers will have more time to give
to Civil Service matters.

Says:

Reno is no longer the Great
Divide. Judge Oscar F. Nelson,
of Chicago, certainly created a
furOre among the gay divorces
when he ruled that all Reno
separations are illegal in Him
OILS. oh, well, 1 guess most of
those who have remarked are
ready to call it quits, anyway.
But this, naturally, is going
to cause a lot of embarrassing
situations. Can you imagine
girls like Peggy Joyce having to
hunt through all the back num-
bers to find the original?
OF course, l believe if this
sort of thing becomes universal
it will encourage a woman to
use the old revolver method Of
getting rid of her husband. ..
That way, all she had to do is
establish a residence in Jail for
about six months, and she
comes out a free woman.
However, until further mo-
tice. the barometer of marital
success, in Reno, will still be
measured by DEGREES.
