State School Commission to buy 625
new buses within the next 30 days
and to make delivery on them in from
80 to 120 days, or about the time the
school terms are over, instead of next
summer.
8. The 100000 appropriation is
$4,000 less than the amount asked
by the State School Commission of
the budget commission and is $780,
600 less than the amount really need
ed to replace obsolete buses.
4. The appropriation will not be of
any material assistance in relieving
those counties which need new buses
for the remainder of this year.
5. None Of this money can re used
for providing additional buses to re-
lieve congestion due to an increase in
the school population or to increased
consolidation, since the law requires
that the counties must buy additional
buses due to expansion of the school
system.
1--WE will, of course, be glad to get
this appropriation now instead of in
July, since it will enable us to get
these 625 new school buses and de-
liver them probably some time in
April, instead of during the summer"

would bring lower prices for the

Senator w. G.. Clark, of Tarboro,

Expression of views by legislators

taxes be reduced by 40 per cent with

Children's Church
Begins Next Sunday

The Children's Church, one of the
most recent developments in the
realm of Christian education, will
be established Sunday at the Metho,
dist church here. Mrs. Ruby Snider
is the minister, and no adults are
allowed to attend any of the meet
Jugs in the basement.
The Church is a non-denomina-
tional venture, the minister not be-
ing a member of the Methodist
Church. Meeting after Sunday
School, at the regular church houl
of II a. m, it will interfere with
none of those children of other
faiths who do attend religious servi-
ces elsewhere. The purpose is to
give training in worship to chill

dren's Church and watch them grow
in grace and knowledge of God"

L. Smiley. local pastor of the

u. S. Army Wanted
Cowboys To Ride
Camels In 1855

Elephants ride the range in
ARIZONA Mahoney" the madcap
comedy featuring Joe Cook, which
begins on Sunday and Monday at
the Coolidge Theatre.
Sounds like strictly movie gag,
but truth is stranger than fiction,
and had it not been for the Civil
War, cowboys on the plains today
would probably be riding camels
instead of horses!
The War between the States III
te,rupted important and, many be-
Ieve, successful experiments in
cultivating the camel for transpor-
tation purposes on the American
plains and-well, wouldn't it be
funny, for instance, to see Larry
Crabbe or "Hopalong Cassidy rid
ing to the rescue of their ladies on
the hurricane deck of a camel?
The camels, thirty-three of them,
were imported to Texas in 1855
from Smyrna. The following were
brought over. These were being ac-
climated and trained by experts
from the United States Army under
Major Wayne Jefferson Davis,
then Secretary of War, took a keen
interest in the experiments and it
was largely through his efforts that
Congress was induced to appropriate
100000 for the expirement.
But when the Civil War broke
out it was necessary for the army
to abandon Texas, which joined
the Confederacy. The camels were
sold to farmers and circuses. The
farmers continued the experiments
for while until the blockade made
il impossible to import more camels
and feed, needed for military pur-
poses, was at a premium. Some of
the camels were turned loose and
ultimately died. The progeny of
many more make up the bulk of the
camels you see in ZOOS and in
circuses, particularly those touring
the southwest.
In Arizona Mahoney," Joe Cook
rides, not a camel, but an elephant,
to the rescue of Robert Cummings,
June Martel and Larry Crabbe, who
are besieged by bandits. It's a new
note in western transportation but,
it turns out, mighty effective one
