that he thought the only thing to do
was to authorize a bond, issue, with
most of the proceeds to be spent on
the county roads" Waynick said to-
day. He said he was fully convinced
that these, secondary Eoads could
never be put into adequate condition
merely by trying to maintain them
out of current revenue and further
pointed out that the bond issue can
be repaid without any increase in tax
es and hence without imposing addi-
tional burden upon the highway
users"
Commission Impressed
Senator Halstead also appeared be-
fore the commission and explained
his bill and the need for it, Waynick
said, adding that cit would not have
t1en much more for The entire COM
mission to have been convinced that
the bond issue is rec. 'ly needed and
the only way to solve tie county road
problem" The commission took no &C
ton on the matter, but there is no
doubt that the members are more
| deeply impressed win the N ad for
additional funds for use on the c. unity
roads than ever before, and that. they
are more and more coming around to
| the opinion that the bond issue offers
almost the only means Of getting these
roads into anything. like, proper CON
dition.
Legislators Changing
Members of, both houses of the Cen
eral Assembly are also rapidly. COM
ing around to the. belief, that the
bond issue offers the only means, of
making thf secondary roads. possible
for the ssnool, buses, cars and farm

that this is not enough, but point out

Tobacco To
Ban Disease
Sought For

Washington, Feb 1.-(AP)-Gov-
eminent scientists hope to develop a
tobacco plant to Withstand diseases
now causing heavy losses.
To this end they have begun test
in 1858 samples of seed brought from
the native home of the plant in South
America.
Raymond Stadelman, of the Agri-
culture Department, explored tropical
and semi-tropical countries for IL
months to collect the seed.
About ten years ago, scientists OF
the department were credited with
saving the sugar cane industry by
finding plant in the jungles of New
Hebrides which resisted a disease
threatening the domestic interests.
DR.. E. e. Clayton, directing disease
Investigations, said. today the search
in South America was aimed to help

Thousands OfBooks Loaned
BY Book Truck Last Month
Rural People Took Advant age of Visit of "Bookmo

, ment of libraries and the improve
nlent of library service where the
service is inadequate is being consid-
cred. The Citizens Library Movement
with William T. Polk, of Warrenton,
as chairman is sponsoring this move
ment for State aid. They will ask for
$150,O00 annually as a public library
service fund to increase, improve and
stimulate library development in the
State.
Vance county is particularly fortu-
nate to have the library service which
it has. There are only fourteen coun-
ties of the 100 in North Carolina that
appropriate as rnuch as one thousand
dollars year to the support of pub
lie library service in the county. Vance
county is one Of the fr.lrteen coun-
ties that is classified as having coun-
ty service. There are many addition
al services which the library here
could give with increased appropria-
ton or with funds from State aid for
libraries. The library could be open
all day, which would mean a great
deal to the city and county people
alike. With State aid a book truck
could be shared by two counties or
even three, each county using the
book truck a week at the time.
The H. Leslie Perry Memorial Lib
rary wishes to thank the North Caro-
lima Library Commission in Raleigh
for the use of the book truck and to
express their appreciation to all per-
sons who cooperated in making the
demonstration success. They are in
debted particularly to the Carolina
Power and Light Company, which so
generously let them send out notices
about the book truck in their bills, to
leaders in the various communities
who announced the schedule of stops,
to the school principals, to the per-
sons at whose stores they stopped, to
r. E. VanDyke, who stored the book
truck free of charge and to the Hen
derson Daily Dispatch for the publ
city given the enterprise.

Eight Recommendations

2. That the State Highway and Pub

BANK ACCEPTANCE, !,
RATE IS REDUCED
Expectations of New Rise
in Short Loan
Costs Upset.
By the Associated Eress.

NEW YARK, May IA cut In
rates today on bankers acceptances,
a credit instrument used chiefly to
finance foreign trade, upset expecta-
tions widely held in financial circles
few weeks ago Of further advance
in short-term borrowing costs.
After five increases accompanying
Federal Reserve Board moves to cur
tail credit expansion by locking up
the bulk Of member banks surplus
reserves, bill dealers reversed the
trend and lowered rates on most
maturities one-sixteenth of 1 per cent.
Many had looked for more advances
In short-term money rates after May I,
when the raising of reserve require
ments as means Of reducing surplus
loanable funds became fully effective.
Member banks, however, have
emerged with a remaining surplus
larger than had been calculated early
in the 7ear and heavy liquidation Of
United States Government loans by
banks this year provided many In
stitutionS with extra cash.
With the money market thus amply
supplied, dealers had noted increasing
demand for short-ter,n paper the last
few days. When the May | boost in
reserve requirements failed to tighten
rates, a cut in bill yields was con-
sidered logical.
Another manifestation Of easing
money tendencies was seen in a re-
covery in United States Government
bonds, hard hit by selling last March
and early April
Dealers also were said to have been
Influenced by announcement there
would be no increase next week in
the amount Of Treasury bill offerings.
A steady rise in the rate on Treasury
short-term paper in recent months
contributed to mark-ups in yields ON
competing credit instruments.
Under the new rates, bills maturing
In so to 80 days were quoted at 9-l6
OF l per cent bid and u asked. Four
month bills were u to 9-l6 and six
month bills q to *.
Bills payable in 80 days remained

some of the water to run out, leav-
