BUILDING AND LOAN
MISSES SOCIAL TAX
Exemption Ruled on Ground of Con
nection With Federal Home Loan
Bank System.

The two Henderson members of the
Federal Home Loan Bank system and
their employees are exempt from the
operations of the Federal social Sc
curity act, it was learned today from
top authority in Washinton. The local
institutions concerned are the Home
Building and Loan Association and
the Henderson Building and Loan AS
ISOLATION.
Exemption from the social legisla-
ton is based on the fact that these
two members are "instrunlentalitieS
of the United State government be-
cause of their membership in the
home loan bank set-up.
The two local associations were adj
vised of the ruling by Guy T. Helver-
ing, United States commissioner OF
internal revenue. Mr. Helvering's de-
cree was made at the request OF
Horace Russell, general counsel fol-
the Federal Home Loan Bank system
who sought the clarif cation.
Since Federal agencies and en-
ployees do not come under the social
security act, and since building and
loan assoc ations are linked with gov
eminent activities, the conclusions ar
rived at were reached.

AIM OF SANITARY
LAW IS RE-STATED
Board of Health Says Health
of People Is Sole
Objective

New regulations promulgated by
the Vance County Board of Health
have been prompted solely in the in
terest of the public health, Dr. A. D
Gregg, county health officer, said to-
the rules. He gave out the following
statement:
MANY people misunderstood the
object of these regulations. Read the
ordinance and exceptions carefully
and you will find it not drastic, only
protective to good citizens.
1.-The Board of Health is anxious fol
anyone and everyone to have milk
and pigs for meat. But there are
times when the keeping of these ami
mails in an insanitary condition works
a hardship upon others near who dc
not keep a cow or pig. A COW OF
horse static and pig-pens may be fer
tile breeding place for files and thus
spread disease. They may smell to
high heavens and be a nuisance tc
every one around. If your stable OF
pig-pen violates neither of these con-
ditionS you do not come under, viola
ton of the health ordinance.
The board of health wants a clean
er more sanitary Henderson for it's
citizens, wants less dysentery and
colitis among your children. Wants to
destroy the pest of mosquitoes and
flies, so that when the warm sum-
mer nights come you can sit out
of-doors and enjoy fresh sweet smell
ing summer breezes."
Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-02-25

and it was passed. President Roose-
welt, when governor of New York, adj
vocated a similar bill and secured it's
passage. These small loans banks
are said to be working satisfactorily
in all of the 20 states which have
them, reports indicate, since they
means to borrow small sums at rea-
sonable rate of interest.
One of the arguments used against
this bill here has been that it would
make it possible for these banks to
garnishee the wages of borrowers, so
that the grocers and other merchants
could not collect from borrowers. But
this is not the case, according to
Pickens and Lawrence. The bill
provides that not more than 10 per
cent of a persons wages can be gar
nisheed, while under the law as it
now stands merchants may garnishee
wages up to 100 per cent for the pay
ment of bills.
Industrial Banks Argue
The industrial banks of the State,
in opposing the bill, maintain that
they are adequately serving the needs
Of the State for small loans. But the
records of the banking department
show that there are only 33 indus
trial banks in the entire State, and
that these are located in only 18
counties. On the other hand there
are 81 known "loan shark" offices do
ing business in the State, with prob
ably more than 100 others doing bus
mess in back rooms and charging
from $50 to 5000 per cent on loans.
One lawyer who appeared before the
House committee in opposition to this
bill admitted he represented three
loan shark concerns who's minimum
charge S were 24G per cent on their
loans on the grounds that this bill
would put them out of business.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-02-25

and that it has been grossly misrepre-
scented.
"The bill was drawn and introduced
in order to help the laboring man and
the man of moderate means who
needs to sorrow from $40 to $1OO from
time to time but who cannot borrow
from commercial banks or even from
industrial banks" Roy r. Lawrence,
president of the North Carolina Fed
Grafton of Labor, said today. "For
very few of the commercial banks
will make any loans for less than 5000
or $500 and then only on collateral,
while most of the industrial banks OBJ
ject to making loans for less than
$10C-and then require two other in
dorsers. Incidentally the industrial
banks really charge 16 per cent inter
est and boost this to 20 per cent or
more, if they can force their borrow
ers to add the insurance feature.
$50 this small loans bill is design
ed to help the people of moderate and
small incomes to borrow money in
small amounts at a reasonable rate of
interest and thus save them from
having to go to loan sharks, who
charge anywhere from 240 per cent to
5000 per cent interest For while the
opponents of this small loan bill main
tain it would permit the charging of
~ per cent interest per year, this is
not true, since the rate of 1-2 per
cent month is charged only on the
unpaid balance due. Accordingly, the
maximum interest cOl1act ih10 IIpdor
this bill would be % per cent per year
or only two per cent more than most
of the industrial banks charge"
20 States Have Law
At the present time 20 states have
small loans laws, similar to the one
proposed in the Pickens bill. Wood
row Wilson advocated such a law
when he was governor Of New JERSEY.

AVON PLAYERS TO
GIVE SHAKESPEARE
Noted Troup to Be at High
School Auditorium
Friday

Henderson lovers of the Shapes
peare drama are looking with interest
to the coming here Friday evening
of the famous Avon Players group
for the presentation of the immortal
bard's Merchant of Venice" in the
auditorium of the Henderson high
school. High school sponsors of the
venture feel quite fortunate in that
they are ranking with Duke Univer-
sity and State, Meredith and Louis
burg colleges, all of which are view
ing with delight the Avon pelforman-
ces this week.
Tomorrow nights performan e.
first with quite such a reputation for
aristocracy of the theatre to be given
in the new schools assembly hall, will
start at 8 o'clock.
The Avon Players offer Shakes
peare with all it's beauty, color and
entertainment. Only experienced and
trained actors have parts, and the
stage mountings and costumes, as
well as lighting effects, combine for
a setting to please the most critical
of the stage art.
The group drew crowds at the Chi
cago Worlds Fair two years ago, and
audiences in other parts of the coun-
try, including the watchful eye OF
collegians in leading educational in
situations, have applauded the excel
lence of the performing of the Avon
experts.
Sponsors say they are offering some
thing quite satisfying for the intel
lectuals, pleasing to the ordinary lay
man and delightful to students of the
stage.

WORK IS DECLINED
BY lob APPLICANTS
Much Common Labor Being
Absorbed by Industry
and Building
TREK FROM THE FARM
Seasonal Unemployed There Come in
for Work, Can't Find 1t and Drift
to County Welfare Office.

Although signing with the local
branch office of the North Carolina
Employment Service for jobs, many
applicants are declining work when
offered to them and prefer to walk
the streets as they have always DONE"
w. nj. Burwell manager of the local
office, said today in announcing a
listing of demands for workers.
Mr.. Burwell said there appeared to
be a scarcity of skilled workers all
over the State, and that good deal
of common labor is being absorbed by
industry and the building trades. But
1--WE still have numerous applicants
for jobs who have public works in
mind: and when offered the local
work at hand, refuse it, preferring to
walk the streets as they have always
done" the local manager added.
He said "moSt of the unemployed
are seasonal farm workers, and those
who were living on the farms and
have moved into town with a vague
idea of greater things on public
works. Not being willing to go back
to the farm, they are often forced on

demand for dome tic workers also.
Calls from other State offices have
dome in for skilled labor, statesmen
and others. From out-f-State offices
calls have come for 40 electricians, 40
pipefitters, 40 pipe welders and 40
machinists.
Those interested in cutting cord
wood must furnish their own axes and
saws and any other tools needed.
Transportation to and from the place
of work will lce furnished at a very
small cost, Mr.. Burwell said.

The act further provides that re-

The effect, observers agree, would
be that practically every license re-
voked in cases where there is no dam
ace would be restored after six
months.

Hanover court records see a close
connection between the bill offered
by the two representatives and the
