Trophies and Charms Award
ed To Teams And ALL
Star Players.

The curtain fell on basketball
here for this season Tuesday
night when the Ashe county all
star boys and girls teams saw
fast action in the West Jefferson
high school gymnasium in exhi-
bition games between the first
and second teams, sponsored by
The Skyland Post.
Around $50 were present and
SIS was cleared after expenses
were paid. This sum will go to
the fund now being raised to re-
model and repair the gymna-
SUM.
The girls game was called at
7:30 and from the beginning the
two teams appeared to be evenly
matched. But when the final
whistle sounded the second team
led with the score of 24-22.
But in the boys game that fol-
lowed the first team held a slight
lead throughout the game with
a final score of 1892.
Mildred Gambill, Nathan's
Creeks forward led the scoring
for the winning second team,
with IS pts. Caldwell, Virginia
Cardinals fast forward, chalked
up II points for the losers.
In the boys game the scoring
was more evenly divided. Ste
wart, of Riverview, scored high
for the first team with IL points.
HartSoe also of Riverview, who
substituted the entire game for

who was unable to play on ac-

Annual Meeting of State Edu.
cation Association Ends
With Resolutions.

RALEIGH, March 18-Ap-
proximately 5000 members of
the North Carolina education as
sociation ended their 55th annual
convention today after passing
resolutions urging the legisla-
ture to restore teachers salaries
to the. pre-depression level and
to establish q retirement fund for
public school employees.
The resolutions, drafted by a
special committee, were made
public { few minutes after
Governor Hoey had told the as
Sociation that the legislature 'is
determined to do all or schools
and fer teachers that can be done
within the reasonable limits Of
the states resources.
]. Henry Highsmith of Raleigh
newly elected president, and
other officers were presented at
the closing session of the three
day convention here.
Governor Hoey said the gener-
a assembly was economizing "in
every respect" so that appropria-
tionS for schools could be increas-
ed.
State Reaches Limit
North Carolina, as a state, ''has
about reached the limit of what
she can do for public education"
Hoey said. Any new, SUBSTANTIAL
increases in school appropria-
tons, he added, are dependent
upon the teachers ability to con-
vince their cities and counties
that their cause merits additional
money through local taxation.
II don't mean more taxes upon
some rich man or a big corpora
tion," he said, asserting that
North Cardinals present income,
corporation and franchise taxes
are among the highest in the ma
ton. But each man must be
willing to put more taxes upon
himself in order to improve his
own schools"
tits all right for a man to
come around and say what ought
to be DONE" the governor said,
"but we've got to get down to
! the everlasting practicalities of
life"
1T is true that Individual teac-
hers do not receive as high salar-
les as were received by the high
est paid teacher prior to the de-
preston" he said, "yet the great
incrase in certification by teach
erS has caused the total amount
of money for teachers salaries to
be increased beyond the amount
hitherto paid.
Other points contained in the
resolutions included:
l. School program should be
planned so that children would
''be made to realize more def
nitely the blessings that obtain
in a democratic society such as
ours, and would cultivate Spi-
rit of tolerance and information
al understanding"
2. Confidence was expressed
in the "fine leadership" of Clyde
A. Erwin, superintendent of pub
lie instruction. B. L. Smith, for
mer president of the association,
was commended for "progres-
sive leadership.
3. divisions should be en-
couraged to supplement state
school funds.
4. The administrative control
OF schools should be unified into
one constitutionally authorized
board.

Motor Inspections

We read recently that one of the packers of the campaign to eliminate the motor vehicle testing lanes claimed that thousands of dollars had been saved in Connecticut by not forcing motorists to have their cars tested. We'd like to have this same gentleman just show the public where these same thousands of dollars went that he claims were saved. It's technical saving, if anything, and can't actually be figured in dollars and cents. His sole theory was that time was saved for the individual driver.
 We really are glad to report that Gov ernor Raymond E. Baldwin prior to leav ing on his western trip, announced that he and Motor Vehicle Commissioner Michael A. Connor had in mind new plan of motor vehicle inspections. The latter, with Colonel Samuel A. Fisher chairman of the Highway Safety Com mission, developed new idea recently and submitted it to the governor. Un- fortunately no funds are available for putting any plans into execution and the governor couldn't add the cost of inspec- tions to the budget.
 However, it's barely possible that ways and means of finding funds in the Motor Vehicle Departments budget may be devised with the general idea of restoring such funds through the fees to be paid for the inspections. The Democrat hon. estly believes that more good than harm and inconvenience was done by these compulsory tests. If kept lot of ram shackle cars off the roads and compelled strict attention to details on the part of every motorist.
 Eliminate the tiresome waits at test ing lanes and half the protests would vanish. Make them more convenient to communities and another third would be silenced. There always would be some complaints no matter how satisfactory or efficient were the tests.
