Typhoid Given On
Fridays At Office

Persons wishing to take typhoid
vaccinations at the health depart
mcnt offices are asked to come there
on Friday only, it was stated today
by DR.. A. d. Gregg, Vance county
health officer. On Fridays, Dr.. Gregg
or the health nurse will be in the
office and prepared to give vaccina-
tons, and persons calling at other
times arc likely to find that neither
is in the office and that a second
trip is necessary.
1--WE are now working most OF our
time in the county and when you
find us in the office we are very
often packed up ready to leave or
have Just come in and syrngcs are
not stcrilizcd or other conditions

the vaccine" DR.. Gregg said.
1T is for better service to you-
not so much the convenience to our
selves-that we appoint Friday as a
special day for office work." he adj

Budget For
Schools Is
Being Made
Must Be Approved by
Education Board and
Commissioners Before
Tax Rate Is Adopted;
Expected Dur in G
Month.

Work on the budget for the county
and city schools is in progress al inc
office Of Superintendent L. M. Rol-
Inns, and indications today were that
there would be very little change in
the cost schedules as compared win
last year. It is expected the budget
will be adopted before the end OF
the month and that the l94O-4l
county tax rate will be fixed at the
same time.
The school budget must first 60 be-
fore the County Board Of Education
for approval, and then it must be
accepted by the Board Of County
Commissioners us part OF the aggrc-
gate county governmental costs Tor
the new fiscal year.
Indications have been that there
will be no change, either up or down,
in the county tax rate, which for the
fiscal year ending this June 80 has
been 80 cents ON the 500 valuation
No great change is anticipated III the
budget.
1t is understood receipts from the
sale of liquor from the county ABB
store will figure in the expenditures
to the end that the tax rate Will not
have to be lifted. just how much OF
the money will have TO be used to
that end has not been learned. In
round figures. the county has been
receiving about $4,000 year from
that source. Some of the money here
lofOrc has been used in buying up
unmaturcd debt obligations, but some
also has been utilized to bolster re-
venues toward holding down the tax
rate. and that is expected TO be the
case for the coming year.

MICHIGAN PRISON
RIOT SUPPRESSED
Guards Battle With Gas
Bombs An Hour Before
Quelling Revolt

. IONA, Mich, JAM, 20-GP- A
general riot of 1,400 inmates at
Michigan reformatory broke out late
today and hastily reinforced guards
armed with rifles and tear gas bombs
battled prisoners for nearly an hour
before it was brought under control.
Deputy Warden Edward c.. Good,
in charge of the prison, said SO shots
were fired during the uprising but
that no one was struck.
The rioting spread to the prison
rotunda, central inlet to the cell
blocks, while 1000 of the inmates
were returning from the dining hall.
One of the inmates complained about
the prison supper, Good said, and
hundreds of others took up the pro-
test. .-..
The roiting spread to the prison
baseball field, inside the walls, and 20
the dining hall, he declared. Several
inmates attempted to scale the walls,
he said, but none was successful.
At the height of the rioting, Good
said, inmates gained entrance to the
hall store room. A score Of
were found on the floor after
the trouble had subsidized.

Unusual winter weather created
a layer Of snow crystals at a

Professor Charles F. Brooks di-

arc, an upper tangent arc, and a %

The parhelion or "mock sum

sun-was described by Brooks as
rarest Of the phenomena. Never be-
for, in IS yars of observing, had he
seen a parhelion Of 120-degrees.
The metearologist also described
as rare" the perhelic, a faint

Parhelia, commonly known as
sun dogs, are rainbow spots %

ROME, Jan. 20.-R- Premier
Mussolini's cabinet today approved
a war-swollen budget of about ST.
745, 900, 900 for the 1940-41 fiscal year
with more than s542, 900, 900, OF 81
per cent, to be spent on the armed
forces.
The government cited the danger
of the current European war spread
ing to Italy as justifying the DUN

the World War.
With a deficit of nearly $500, 000.'

The full budget for the new fis-

proximately $275, 900, 900, or more
than is per cent, higher than that
with which Italy started the cur

A revised recapitulation showed

Another major development Of the

of possibly Is seamen.
Other developments:
Britain extended her censorship
