bus driver. The school folks express
cd sympathy, but said that only lcgis-
lative action could reimburse Mr.
Williams for his losses. The claim
was presented, was heard by the APP
preparations committee, was approx
ed, and came to the floor for final
passage. Alternately and Fenner, OF
Nash, champiOned the bill.
Frank Taylor, Of Wayne, Rupert
Pickens, of Guilford, and R. w.
Clegg, Of Moore, pointed out that
passage Of the bill was going much
further than the State had ever gone
and that it would mean an avalanch
Of similar claims. Mr.. Taylor sug-
gestcd that fairer thing would be
to pass a general act permitting the
State to be sued in such cases and
pay damages upon judgment of
courts Of competent jurisdiction.
There have been other instances
when the State paid the actual medi-
cal bills for children injured while
riding in school buses, but, accord
ing to Taylor and Clegg, the action
on the Nash county claim establishes
an entirely new precedent in allow
ing compensatory damages for lost
time and property.
Just as cases wherein the State
paid medical bills were used as pre-
cedents to put this claim through,
Mr.. Taylor warned, this action will
be used to substantiate claims per-
haps less meritorious, and that the
legislature may find itself spending
a lot of time trying damage law suits

ricketts,, that nutritional di-
sease of childhood which we dis
cussed yesterday, is most prevalent
in the spring months. The incidence
: rises to it's peak in March and sinks
to the lowest level in September. OBJ
viously, this is related to sunlight.
1t appears after the long period of
winter darkness.
ricketts, is directly dependent on
the lack of Vitamin D in the body.
But Vitamin d is formed in the
body by the action of sunlight on
the skin, and stored in the liver.
Feeding Vitamin D by mouth in the
form of fish liver oils-fish store it
in the body more abundantly than
any other animals-will supply
enough to prevent ricketts,, but feed
ing Vitamin D should always be
supplemented by sunshine exposure.
Enough Exposure
Therefore, in these days of re-
turning sunlight be sure your baby
is getting enough exposure to pre-
vent the development of ricketts,.
And notice carefully how much sun
the baby really does get. The baby
is in the sunlight in the baby-car-
riage-all very well. First, the
mother may discover that the baby
is blinking, so she promptly shields
it's eyes and much of its face from
the sun. Second, since the baby's
body is covered, the child will then
be getting only reflected light or
skyshine, which is only so per cent
as effective as direct sunlight to
prevent ricketts,. Third, the time of
day will also affect the amount of
sunshine or skyshine reaching the
baby's face. At $3.50 A. M, regard
less of the season, the average loss
of sunlight is over 80 per cent and
at $3.50 P. M. it is over FL per cent.
These reasons are enough to con-
vince one that sunlight exposure
should be supplemented by feeding
Vitamin D in the form of fish oils.
The real function of Vitamin d in
the body is to aid in the deposit of
calcium. 1t is the lack of calcium
deposit in the bones which causes
them to be soft, and this is the rea-
son for the deformities of ricketts,.

In Chi|dren's Diet
Sunlight Exposure Should Be Supplemented by the
Feeding of Fish Oils to Avoid Rickets

sunshine in any population is re-
markably close. For instance,
ricketts, is far commoner in negro
children than in white because the
sunlight does not get a chance to
penetrate through the darker skin.
Even in countries where there is
great deal of sunshine, such as AL
geria, ricketts, is prevalent because
certain religious customs keep wom-
en- and children indoors, away frolo
sunlight. Purdah, for instance, is
religious custom in India, as in
Africa, which keeps women indoors
in the early stages after childbirth,
and hence ricketts, is present in three
out of every four children in these
communities.

AS Maxwell
Slogan Seen
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Rv HENRY AVERHT,

Raleigh, Sept. 15.-"Live at
Home, slogan with familiar
ring, is likely to become the rally
ing cry of Commissioners of ReVe-
nue. Allen J. Maxwell, one of the
definitely assumed" candidates, In
his proposed campaign iOr the gov
ernOrship.
The commissioner has not made
any definite and absolute statement
of his issues, which is quite natural
: because he hasn't formally an
nounced and to outline issues in
advance of announcement Wiuld be
much like putting the rudder in
front Of the boWsprit.
Nevertheless, he is quick to take
advantage of any opportunity to
declare that he is a strong advo-
cate Of abandonment Of the exist
ing 'one-crop" system Of farming
and substitution of a system under
which every farmer would take
care of his own needs before going
in for cultivation of cash crops.
Mr. Maxwell was particularly
struck with phrase which some Of
the Extension experts at State col
lege have been DINING into farm
er cars lately:
every farmer should make a
living on his place before trying
to earn one", it runs. The experts
point out that it means nothing
more or less than that each farm
e. should make himself self-sup-
porting by a balanced program
which would include animal rails
ing as we'll as crop raising.
The revenue commissioner de-
clared it one of the best and most
succinct statements he has heard
lately, and indicated that he will
! be heard often along like lines
during the eubernatorial campaign.
Il made one race for governor
on a live-at-home PLATFORM, he
said. "and l have seen no reason
to change my views about IT..
He pointed out that agricultural
progress and better highways go
hand in hand, and indicated that
he will continue to stress both as
he campaign progresses.
Applying his ideas of balanced
agriculture to the present tobacco
crisis, Mr.. Maxwell expressed the
belief that the one-crop. and a cash
crop system of farming is very
largely responsible for the current
emergency
If farmers Of the East had diver
7ified their crops and had out i'll
onough vegetables. grains and other
le2umes to support themselves be-
fore planting tobacco there would
have been no such tremendous in
crease in leaf poundage on the
market this year, and that would
not only have made low prices less
likely, but would have cushioned
farmers against them even if they
MD come.
He agreed that the crisis may in
the end prove real boon to farm
ers, provided they learn from it
the almost imperative necessity of
freeing themselves from slavish de-
pendence on one crop.
AS to the various remedies which
are now being proposed and tried,
he did not commit himself on the
plea that such remedies are out
side the scope Of his present duties
and that he prefers to leave the
immediate solution to those directly
concerned.

Employee Is
Best Asset

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 15.-The en-

most priceless asset in a speech de-
livered here today by S. P. Vecker,
general sales manger of the Carolina
Power & Light Company, Raleigh,
lat the annual meeting of the en-
ployee activities conference of the
Southeastern Electric Exchange.
'The time definitely has come
when those who employ their fellow
man must supply degree of con-
Scientious and constructive leader
ship which in many instances the
rank and file of workers are failing
to find from those who supervise
their endeavors or from the organi-
cations that are supposed to map
their way to Utopia" said Mr.. Wick
er.
Speaking on the subject of "The
Employee-A Priceless Asset, Mr..
Wicker said the subject of his adj
ldress could just as we'll have been

and then he went into detail to give
his impression of the duty the en-
ployer owes to the employee
"The nations of the world" he
added, "have Wed with each other

war and have invested billions in
modern armament; yet, these instru-
ments of death and destruction are

combatants measured largely in

dustry and nothing has

Mr.. Wicker went on to say that the
following five factors contain the
answer to the oft-asked question of
what can be done by employers to
make a happy and efficient en-
ployee: proper working conditions,
showing an interest in the employee
