Farm Housing Surrey
Planned by N. C.. State

RALEIGH, Feb. 6.-R- N. C.
State college plans to make a sur
vey to determine whether North
Carolina farmers have improved
their homes since 1884.
. Seven years ago, the college
made a similar survey of 10 repre-,
sentative counties Cleveland.
Duplin, Iredell, Avery, Henderson,
Alamance, Edgecombe, Moore,
Robson and Camden,
Findings at that time indicated
"a tremendous need for improve
ment in rural housing-most of the
homes needed paint, a majority
were unscreened, sanitary facili-
ties were inadequate, and practical
ly all homes we're badly in need
of REPAIRS" D. S. Weaver, agricul-
tural engineer of the extension
service, said. 4

EDEN'S SERVICE

Grand Opening of Local Els,
tablishment Is Scheduled
Today and Saturday

Eden's ESQ Service station at 1921
North Third street, which is under
the management of L. W. Shorty"
Edens, will hold its grand opening
today and Saturday.
Edens has been manager of the
ESQ Service station at 18th and Mar
ket streets for the past ten years and
has 20 years experience in service
station work.
The new station has luminescent
lighting throughout and is new, clean
and modern from inside out. It is
easily accessible at the intersection
of highways to the Cape Fear river
bridges and the Castle Hayne road.
There is plenty of parking space on
the lot.
Two modern fabrication pits have
been erected. There will also be a
modern equipment. Clean and sani-
tary rest roomS will be available for
white ladies and gentlemen, with
one for colored.
The station on this location prior
to the new building was an ESQ sta
ton, managed by Earle T. Getaway,
who will erve as assistant to Edens.
To every person buying 5 or more
gallons of ESQ or ESQ Extra ga
line during the grand opening today
and tomorrow, a large % by "a Can
non bath towel will be given.

of trustees of the U.N.C. last week
voted unanimously to award six
fullpaid scholarships each year to
outstanding students in South
American countries.
Il will seek the cooperation OF
Secretary of the State and the aid
of the White House if necessary to
try to sell the idea to all COLLEGES
and universities in the country"
Bellamy said.
The action taken by the U.N.C.
board of trustees, he said. is in
accord with the Good Neighbor''
policies being promulgated by
President Roosevelt and Secretary
OF State Hull in the furtherance of
friendly relationships between the
U. 5. and South American coun-
tries.
Bellamy said, in his judgment,
such steps would do much to &C.
ment the ties of friendship between
American and South American
countries. Not only colleges a n 6
universities, but the larger corpor'
atlons should establish similar
scholarships, he suggested. 4

RALEIGH, Feb. 6.-lP-The joint
appropriations committee of the gen
eral assembly today rang down the
curtain on public hearings and pre-
pared to begin deliberations next
week on individual items of the
states record spending bill.
R. G, Deyton, assistant director of
budget, promised to submit a
statement on increases asked by the
various state agencies, before the
committee resumes it's sessions on
Tuesday afternoon.
An appeal for economy by ]. Paul
Leonard of Statesville, secretary of
the Fair Tax association, wound up
the last day of public hearings.
Three agencies presented their needs,
and five delegations asked the COM
mittee for special appropriations.
Leonard called on the committee
to stop this orgy of adding 81, OOO,-
900 to $40, 900, 900" to the appropria-
lions bill each session.
"North Carolina has doubled it's tax

Jacksonville Seeks 100 Housing
Units For Camp Davis Officers

JACKSONVILLE, Feb. 6-Jack-
sonville citizens this week asked
Federal authorities to approve and
build at least 100 housing units
here to accommodate Army Off
GERS and their families residing in
Jacksonville, near Camp Davis.
The project was carried to WASH
ington by Mayor C. E. Warn and
M. A. Cowell Wednesday after
representative citizens and mem
bers of the Town Board of Com
mjssioners unanimously approved
the proposal. There was not a sin
gle dissenting vote cast.
Mayor Charles E. Warn empha-
sized that now is the time to
growl if there are any objections.
We're not trying to force u views
on any one or the town, and that's
why we've called you all here TO-
gether twice. We don't want to 60
on with this thing unless you want
to-
The Wilmington morning star., 1941-02-07

Only one question as to the scope
Of the project was raised and that
by H. M. 10y, who did not press
it. Other comment was enthusiast
tic to proceed with the project, at
least to the point where, if any
arose, it Vas discovered Jackson
vile could not handle it.
Persons in attendance at the
meeting were: Mayor Warn, Maur-
ice Margolis, P. V. Capps, T. B.
Koonce, Clyde Sabiston, j. c..
Thompson, S. W. Aman, j. H.
Aman, Billy Arthur, Ramon As
kew, M. A. Cowell, j. W. Burton
and Mr.. 10y.
Cowell read correspondence in
regard to the housing project and
said he was confident that a letter
of Col. j. B. Crawford, command
ing officer of Camp Davis that a
housing 'emergency" existed in
this section would clinch the prof.
est for Jacksonville.

spending from $40, 900, 900 in 1880 to
$50, 600, 900 for 1941."
He told the committee that the
state payroll in Raleigh had, in eight
years, vaulted from 81 1000, 900 to S.
900, 900, and urged the group to fol
low the leadership of Representative
Pickens of Guilford, head of an
economy bloc.
The committee adopted a subcom-
mittee report favoring the purchase
of II acres in Durham for SIG, 500,
