SCHOOLS allotted
$5O,0OO,OOO TOTAL
Measures for Support of
Institutions in Addition
to Free Texts

Raleigh, March 25 (AP)-North
Cardinals public school program will
be financed by approximately $5O,O00,-
900 during the 1879 biennium as a
result of legislation enacted by the
General Assembly.
Taking cognizance of Governor
Hoey's inaugural recommendations,
the lawmakers provided $1,5OO,O0O for
purchase of free basal textbooks for
elementary school children. Purchase
of the texts, however, is not manda-
tory but left to the discretion of State
officials.
Students in high schools will con-
tinue renting their text books.
Superintendent, principals and
classroom teachers will receive a flat
pay increase of ten per cent over 1885
81 figures and the State school COM
mission, under the Hoey-approved re-
organization program, will be compos-
ed of representatives from each con-
gressional district.
The administration set-up will not
be materially changed, the law max
ers having refused a move to make
the state superintendent of public in
struction chairman of the school COM
mission. The superintendent will,
however, be an active member of the
board as we'll as ex-officio chairman,
and will be on the new executive COM
mittee.
The Lieutenant-Governor will re-
main chairman of the body and most
authority will continue to be vested
in tho cocrntarV COVorOOr HOov will
make the appointments from the II
congressional districts to complete the
set-up.
The executive committee of the com
mission will be composed of the Lieu
tenant-Governor, the State Treasurer,
the superintendent Of Public Instruc-
ton and two board members to be
selected.

Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1937-03-25

Action by the House defeated the
movement to make the State super
intendent chairman of the commission
and thus place directly under his sup
ervision the annual expenditures OF
about $25,00O,OOO. Offered as an
amendment to the original bill by Rep
resentative Moore of Pitt and given
favorable report by the House educa-
ton committee, the proposal was sum-
marily rejected by the lower branch.
Also written into the school mach
inery act is provision that routing of
school buses shall be completed by
the State Commission not less than
80 days before the opening of school.
Dissatisfied boards of education
would have the right of appeal.
Elections for supplementary funds
to increase the school term from eight
months to nine would be restricted to
administrative charter districts or
counties and teachers would have to
apply for reelection, rather than be
reelected automatically unless other
wise notified, under the measure.
The House appropriations commit
tee rejected a request from the class
room teachers association to restore
salaries to the year 1929 level in the
event a sufficient surplus was in the
general fund of the close of the fiscal
year
Both legislative branches voted
early in the session for an emergency
100000 measure to replace worn
school buses and plan to promote
safety for children transported by
school BUSES was adopted. Under
it the maximum speed for bus would
be 35 miles an hour and safety glass
would be required.

Raleigh. March 25 (AP)-The Cen
eral Assembly of 1887, ranked by vet
eran political observers as one of the
outstanding in North Cardinals his
tory, may be remembered more for Its
action on the liquor problem than for
it's record appropriations.
Based on the findings. of a liquor
study commission appointed by Gov
ernor Ehringhaus, a county option
bill was enacted by the lawmakers.
End of the States 2S-year-old bone
dry" law was forecast in the hectic
closing hours of the 1885 session when
II counties rushed through local OPP
ton measures, but it was left fol the
1887 legislators to endorse the con-
troll plan on a statewide basis.
Drys, paradoxically, fought this year
for the thing they successfully battled
against two years ago-a Statewide
referendum. Backs to the wall, they
came within three votes of majority
in the referendum plan in the House
The Senate later disapproved the pro-
posal for submission of the PROPOSE
ton to all the registered voters in
the State by a margin of ten.
The law provides for the sale and
control of alcoholic beverages in North
Caroina and permits, without new reg
istration eections in the severa coun-
ties.
Counties voting wet will be al
lowed to establish alcoholic beverage
control boards which will operate I'M
der supervision of the State ABC
board. Profits, except for a seven
per cent gros tax to be received by
the State, will be kept by the coun-
ties. The municipalities in some will
share.

GlO,iting Yourself
By ARcia HaEt

TEA Service Stan Wrttef
 One of the very best exercises to correct bad walking posture involves mental as well as physical effort You have to visualize line from the hollow of your throat (notch of the sternum to center of the base Of support (your two feet). COncer- trate efforts to hold your body so that line doesn't break or become crooked.
 When the line is straight, you will walk from your hips (not knees). And you won't sway from side to side or bob up and down with each step. Regardless of which foot weight is on, the line from notch of sternum to center of space be- tween feet can be and should be straight.
 To test whether or not you walk correctly with body perfectly bal- anced, stand on right foot, mean- while continuing to visualize the line through the center of your body. Rest toes of left foot just above right ankle. Shift weight on Ddlt or TlBnL lOOL U Ocn, cthtiuiuk as tall as possible. Now move up and down--back on heel, up to toes. If you can do this without losing your balance, you can walk as you should. If you have broken the straight line through your body, you will stumble froward or back when you try to raise up and down on one foot.
 Always sit far backward in chair with base of spine-not shoulders. against the back cushion. While you are learning about good posture, maintain the vision of the straight line as you sit down. Otherwise, you will lose your balance and be forced to grasp the arms of the chair for support. The same applies when you get up. If weight is on one foot and you have in mind the straight line down the center of the body, you will rise easily with nary an awkward gesture.

From the experience of genera
 tions of people everywhere, plumps an eminent medical professor in recent address before c national medical society, there can be no doubt that exposure to cooling after being overheated, or excessive cool ing of the extrcmities particularly after wetting of the feet or sitting in a draft, will in most subjects cause nasal Instructions, sneezing
 and watery secretions.
 True, indeed, and isn't It annoy
 ing? But the subject of the doctors ad-
 dress was "The Common Cold" and
 in the circumstances one is justified in assuming that "the common cold" is some kind of ailment, otherwise why was the eminent physician dis-
 cussing 1t? The universal experience cited by the speaker, or as much of
 it as one can collect and analyzc
 is convincing on this point, namely,
 that only rarely does the individual
 who suffers such nasal obstruction,
 sneezing and watery secretions from exposure to cold or wet or both de-
