MARRIED WORKERS
BILL TO Be URGED
Ramspeck and CeIler Seek
Privilege Rule at Hear
ing Tomorrow.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Chairman Rarlspeck of the House
Civil Service Committee and Repre-
sentative Celler of New York. author
Of the bill to correct the married
persons" clause In the Civil Service
law, are to have a hearing tomorrow
before the House Rules Committee
In quest Of q rule to give the bill
privileged consideration in the House.
They hope to get the measure passed
before Congress adjourns.
The married persons clause" has
test during the past four years that
it has had extensive publicity in mag
azine articles and formed the theme
of several novels. It Is the last i'm
portant remnant of the famous
economy act" passed when q drive
was being made to balance the budg-
et." It has worked a hardship on
hundreds of Government workers,
and many instances of human distress
resulting from operation of this pro-
vision have been cited at hearings
before Congressional committees.
The law provides that when Gov
eminent workers are being dismissed
in reduction of force, the slash first
shall be applied to husband or wife
when both are employed by the Gov
eminent.
The proposed bill would not prevent
any husband or wife receiving an
appointment If his or her joint sal
aries did not amount to more than
$4,000, and would relieve any already
In the service from fear Of being dis
missed.
1t Is proposed to repeal the now
famous section 213" of the act OF
June 80, 1882, and to amend section
Q Of the civil service act Of January
Is, 1883, so no original appointment
to the classified civil service may be
consummated In q case Of q second
member Of q family II the combined
salaries OF the members Of the family
after such appointment would equal
or exceed $4,000 per annum.

Services Have Been DELAYED
To Suit Convenience of
Speakers Sought

With its debts all paid and not an
outstanding obligation against the
congregation, the First PRESBYTERIAN
church of Henderson, erected and oc-
cupied in 1929, will be formally dedi-
Gated on next Sunday morning, JULY
II. at the II o'clock service.
A special program for the occasion
has been prepared, in which DR.. Ben
r. Lacy, president of Union Theologi-
cal Seminary, Richmond, Va, will
preach the sermon, and Rev. w. c.
Cumming, pastor of the First Presby-
terrain church at Miami Beach, Fla.
a former pastor will read the dedi-
catory ritual Rev. James A. Jones.
the present pastor, will preside at
the exercises. 1t was during the pas
torate of Rev. Mr.. Cumming, from
1927 to 1884, that the present building
was erected.
All former pastors now living have
been invited to be here for the dedica-
tory occasion, and many absent mem
bers are expected to make the oc-
casion a homecoming day
Two former pastors, Rev. r. A.
White, and Rev W. c. Cumming, have
been assigned parts in the service
and another outstanding feature will
be the special music, which will in
clude solo, open the Gates of the
Temple" by Knapp, by Mrs. Norman
D Holloway.
The present church edifice which is
being dedicated was erected in 1929,
at cost of $4,000, although the
equipment and other features run the
value up to approximately 100000. The
new church replaced the old edifice
which with its additions, had been in
use since 1881. The present structure
provides ample accommodations for
all of the organizations of the church,
the Church school assembly and class
rooms being adequately adapted to
departmental needs and requirements,
making up an integral part of the
program of religious education of the
church. The simple lines of the church
auditorium are regarded as being
most conducive to the worship for
which It was built.
The building committee that was in
direct charge of the new program in
1929 was composed of Mayor Irvine
3. Watkins as chairman; ]. G. Cooper,
treasurer; Mrs. r. G. I<ittrell, Mrs.
Goode Cheatham, DR.. T. S. Register,
j. W. Beck (deceased), and Rev. w.
C. Cumming, the pastor ex-officio.
The architects for the building were
Lnthicum & Linthicum, of Raleigh,
and the contractor was J. w. Hudson,
also Of Raleigh.
At the present time the church has
a membership of 283 and an enroll
ment in the Church school of 222.
The iHoard of elders is comprised of
seven men, and the board of deacons
consists of Is male members, with 0.

Cotton Container
Bags Very Useful
In the Farm Home

College Station, Raleigh, July TO-
Cotton bag containers for flour, sugar
salt, fertilizer, and cattle feed are
worked into many useful articles by
ingenious farm women.
Among the articles most frequently
made, said Miss Willie N. Hunter, ex-
tension clothing specialist at State
College, are garments for children an
adults, luncheon and breakfast sets,
table covers, laundry bags, pillow
cases, and curtains.
But one of the problems, she said, is
removing the words and designs print
ed on the sacks. There are several
ways of doing this. The ease with
which stamping may be removed de-
ponds upon the kind of ink used.
Some printing is easily removed by
soaking in cold water, then in strong
soapsuds. Do not boil before the let
ters are removed, Miss Hunter said
as that tends to set the ink in the
bags. Do not let the sacks dry until
all the lettering has been soaked out
If the ink from the lettering colors
the entire sack, the tint can be
bleached out by boiling the sack after
the letters have been removed.
