Vacation Problems Brought BY Huuel Curb
Are keepingADiploma Close to Their Posts

War has changed many things
and most prominent among
those changes during these hot
days is the impossibilty of ON
cials and diplomats-and many
of their families--to take vaca-
! tions.
In former years the Peruvian
Ambassador, Senior Don Manuel
de Freyre y Santander, took his
son and daughter to the noun
tains in Pennsylvania for the
three hot months. Last year he
was obliged to give up this plan
and so far he has made no ar
rangements for even q week end
out Of town.
The Argentine Ambassador and
Sonora de Espn expected to be

spot for hot weather, Hot Springs,

Capital to permit the Ambassa-
dor to spend frequent long week,

marquisette, made on bouffant
lines, with faille bows appliqued
AROUND the hemline of the very
full skirt. The bodice was close
fitting, had long sleeves and a
shirring of marquisette gave the
effect of dropped shoulder line, ,
although the round neckline was
quite high. Her long tulle veil
was arranged softly about her
face and held on either side by
dainty clusters OF oragne bios
SONS. She carried a bouquet of
white gladioluses with white

n. e. Revenue Bill Introduced
Slated To Raise $lO3,3OO,O 900

Raleigh - The continuing fl
nance bill, amended to raise
$1O3,3OO,O00 under present esti-
mates, went on the house calen-
dar this week and the joint spend
ing committee sought to whip its
measure into shape for floor &C
ton.
Principal changes in the tax
bill were to reduce license taxes,
permit merchants to retain three
per cent of sales tax collections,
and to permit corporations to de-
duct up to five per cent of their
income tax for gifts to charity.
Another amendment, not expect
ed to have material effect upon
revenue, would permit quarterly
payments of income tax, with in
terest. Residents serving in the
armed forces also would be eX-
empted from payment of a state
income tax.

some discussion, as to the degrees
of GOODNESS, it was generally
agreed that Sunday was one of
the coolest days throughout the
day that this section has expert
enced in some time.
The three-inch snow which fell
in the Jeffersons on Friday night
was partially melted away on
Saturday, but fine snow fell Sat-
urday night ard at intervals on
Sunday, which added to the
sharpness of the air.
Several other sections of the
county had much more snow and
reported impossible drifts on
Sunday and Monday mornings.
Schools were held Monday, but
the attendance was off, due to the
fact that few school buses we're
able to start. Many individuals,
likewise, had an enforced driv-
ing ban because of frozen cars.
The cold weather appeared to
be general, according to reports.

muses., would necessitate the ex-
penditure of approximately $121,-
100000 during the 194345 bien-
mum. That would be from the
general fund. The highway de-
partment would spend about $780,
100000 and the state agriculture
department about 100000. The
latter two funds are separate,
but the agriculture department
receives some money from the
general fund. The highway de-
partment does not.
The difference between the
amount to be spent and the
amount to be raised would come
from the general fund surplus,
estimated to be at least 1871 ,OOO,-
600 by the end of this fiscal year.
Of that amount, however, $780,
100000 has been set aside for
postwar use. That still would
leave a difference under present
bills. The amount tentatively set
for expenditure will be revised,
and the tax bill might raise more
