spread runaway acreage put into to-
bacco, though most farmers will try
to plant enough to allow for bad
woa. her conditions.
Some sections are making prepare
tions for a large crop of tobacco for
1889, and prices of the leaf will not be
determined alone by what is made
! here, but by the quantity of flue-
cured tobacco in general.
Henderson cotton mills and other
! local manufacturing establishments
are hopeful. At the present time, the
outlook is better for tex lies, it is
understood, with mills here running
, on a better schedule than they did
during most of 1928 That is ire
mendous fac.or in economic condi-
lions in Henderson
Anything like normal employment
in industry end with fair prices for a
normal-sized tobacco and cotton crop
WIFI bring a, measure of prosperity
to the entire community. Some pick
up for the spring, with a much better
fall is anticipated in some quarters.

COUNTY is ASKED
!: FOR DENTAL FUND
PIT. A. Group Appears Be-
fore County Commission
ers In Forenoon

Representatives of various Parent
Teacher Associations of the county,
with Mrs. d. II. Hocutt, county chair
man, appeared before the county com
missioners at their meeting this
morning, and urged upon them the re
storation of dental clinic for the
schools, and pledged 500 towards the
work.
While nothing definite was promis-
ed by the commissioners, who said
they would do what they could, the
representatives pleaded their cause
to The board.
The dental work has been carried
on here in past years, but no provi-
sion was made this year by the COM
missioners when the county budget
was made up.
The state matches county money,
and sends dentist here for six weeks
to visit the schools and perform den
tai work, most of which is done for
underprivileged children.
Mrs. d. d. Hocutt, president of the
Vance County Parent-Teacher Asso-
cias lion, was spokesman for the group
which included Mrs. L. D. Wall, a
former president of the county group,
and now district president.
1t was said at the meeting of the
commissioners that $500 was asked to
match an available $500 from State
and other sources
Most of the business before the
commissioners today was largely of
a routine nature, and was expected
to be disposed of during the day with
out the necessity of a further session
tomorrow
AL members of the board attended

SOME CONCERNS CAN
DROP COMPENSATION

Raleigh, Jan. q Employers of
North Carolina who did not have eight
employees for as many as 20 weeks in
1888 and who want to be relieved from
operation of the State unemployment
compensation law are required to file
with the Unemployment Compensa-
ton Commission a request for termi-
nation of coverage by January s,
Chairman Charles G. Powell reminds
such employers.
Those who wish to get out from
under the act must make this request
before Jan. 5, and, if the commission,
upon investigation, finds that they did
not have eight employees for as many
as 20 weeks in 1888, then they can
be relieved of payments of contribu-
tions for the year 1899. Otherwise,
such employers are required to remain
under the act for the entire year Of
1889, regardless of how few employees
they may have, the law provides.

priations mean.

In Cleveland it means that while nearly
twice as many middle and upper-class wage
earners bought cars this year, a woman with
nine children is getting $3.50 per week in
relief.
1t means that while the man on the hill
made enough extra money to put another
servant in his house, the unemployed worker
down by the tracks has to pull his belt in to
fit a diet Of four pounds of apples and two
pounds of corn meal for the whole week.
about two apples and four cups of meal a day.
It means that while the Republic Steel
Works in Cleveland is blasting at over 80
per cent of capacity with war-stimulated
orders, men who used to have jobs in that
plant not only haven't got their jobs but can
only bring home A cents a day to feed a
wife and two kids.
But of course Ohio will have a balanced
budget for 1899.
In Ohio the reasoning might go like this:
A balanced budget is "a good thing"
There is nothing like a balanced budget
to encourage business in Cleveland to make
even more money than it is making now.
To balance a budget you simply refuse to
pay out more than you can collect without
antagonizing Big Business.
If this means that people starve, that's just
too bad.
But Ohio obviously needs 100000 more
next year for the National Guard. You see,
there is a war situation and Ohio must be
prepared for all eventualities, such as an in
vasion from Canada.
So Ohio will have to do more than balance
its budget.
It will have to find another 100000 for
the National Guard.
But Ohio must keep its National Guard
on a pay-as-you-go basis so that future gen
erations of Cleveland business men won't be
saddled with debt.
Therefore Ohio will have to cut down its
relief budget even more, and on top of that it
will have to raise the taxes on the working
people.
In Ohio the reasoning might 60 like that.
It does in Washington.-PeopIeS Press, Nel0
York City.

How Ohio's Governor Thinks

This weeks reaction is having its innings
in Ohio. In Toledo 1000 people on relief
have had no food allowance since Sept. Is.
In Cleveland, 10000 people are being given
apples and corn meal for food, and $4,000
more are getting II cents a day for food.
The reason is that Gov. Bricker of Ohio
refuses to call a special session Of the State
Legislature to appropriate funds for relief
in these cities. Meanwhile, a cool $6,000,0O0
surplus sits idle in the State treasury.
It sits there unused because Gov. Bricker
wants to finish the year with a balanced
budget"
At the same time, industry is booming in
Ohio as it hasn't doomed for years. For facts
and figures on this boom, take a look at the
story on page 2.
In the U. S. Il, O00,0 900 people are on relief.
Some, like those in Cleveland, are getting
apples and corn meal. Some, like those in
Toledo, are getting nothing. None of them
is getting a subsistence living. 100000 of
them have been laid off WPA this year and
thrown to the tough mercies of local relief.
At the same time industry is booming as
never before in the history of this country.
Production is touching the all-time highs Of
1929. Latest figures show that 80 selected
corporations have earnings for this year
which are 448 per cent above those of last.
Meanwhile the Administration is talking
about shaving expenses in this years budget;
is talking about cutting relief funds from
81, 400, 00O,0 900 to 81, 100,O0O,000.
The Administration it seems, is in favor
of getting as near to a balanced budget as
it can; as near as it can, that is, while at the
same time increasing its arms budget from
two to t~wo-and-a-half billion dollars.
y i *
We don't have to draw pictures to show
the similarity between the local situation in
Ohio and the national situation in the U. S.
It's very plain to see.
But in Cleveland, O., you can get a little
clearer picture of what reduced relief appro-

A ar-Reaching Decision

An important Interpretation Of the Massa-
chusetts old age pension law was handed
down on November 10 by the State Supreme
Court. Old age pension payments, the court
ruled, are not affected by the state statute
providing that "a person shall be liable
to any town for expenses incurred by it for
his support" Specifically, the Court decided
that an aged person who had received 81, $50
in old age assistance does not have to repay
the amount to the city Of Worcester from a
$1,000 inheritance.
