N. C. Assembly Is Praised
For Record By Brougg hton

The creation of a unified board
of control for all of the state
mental institutions.
Creation of a unified board of
control for the states correction
al institutions.
Provision for the establishment
of a training and correctional
school for delinquent negro girls.
Provision for establishment of
a bureau of mines in Western
North Carolina.
Defends Large Appropriations
Submission of an amendment
which, if ratified, will add to the
council of state the commission
ers of agriculture, labor and in
surance, thus making the coun-
Gil more fully representative of
activities affecting the welfare of
the people of the state"
Governor Broughton said that
the largely increased appropria-
tons made by the legislature
should be viewed lin the light of
the fact that the purchasing val
ue of a dollar is hardly more than
80 per cent of the purchase val
lie two years ago."
"These circumstances made il
absolutely essential to increase
largely the appropriations to va
rious institutions which have tC
provide for the subsistence OF
those in their care and made
proper a substantial increase fo1
the teachers and state employees
He especially pointed out the
need for the increased appropria-
tions to the state mental insti-
tutions-the increase over the
last biennium for the Raleigh
state hospital exceeding $500,00(
and for Morganton by 100000.
In closing, the governor called
attention to his message to the
assembly at the opening of the
session which he closed by urg-
ing that the legislators keep the
faith" with the items of thousands
of our young men on the blazing
fields of action"
II think it can be truly said,''
he added, "that the general as
sembly of 1943 has indeed kept
the faith, and that it's record
marks an historic advance in the
progress of North Carolina"

Farmers Must
Have Permits To
Deliver Meat Now

Farmers who kill animals for
home use do not need a slaugh-
'Ser permit, but they are requir-
ed to secure one if they deliver
amy part Of the meat to others,
says I. o. Schaub, director of ex-
Stension at N. C.. State College.
The Government issued three
permit orders which become eff
Elective after midnight March 81.
They require: Cd All livestock
>slaughterers who sell meat, in
cluding farmers and local butch
sers, to operate under a slaughter
ipermit system and, as an aid to
enforcement, to stamp their per-
Tnit number at least once on each
Wholesale cut;
(2) All livestock dealers to OBJ
tain permits to buy and sell live
stock and to keep complete rec
eords of their operations (Farm-
GERS are not required to obtain
dealer permits, but they are ask
ed to keep records of their pur-
ChaSes and sales);
(3) All slaughterers, operating
under Federal inspection, to set
aside designated percentages Of
stheir production for war uses.
The stamping of all meat is
specifically designed to halt the
csack market operator. It also
acts to curb the sale of meat
Trom diseased animals. Accord
ing to Schaub, growers. who OBJ
tain permits for the delivery Of
meat directly to consumers, may
comply with the permit require
ments by attaching tags, showing
the permit number, to the meat
they deliver.
The dealer in livestock gets no
stamp Of any kind, but he must
keep full records of all sales.
The authorities have requested
all livestock producers, packers,
dealers, health officials and con-
1Sumers to aid in eliminating the
illegal slaughtering, selling and
distribution of meats.

Raleigh - Governor Broughton
has predicted that the 1943-45 BIZ
ennium would see another $1O,-
100000 added to the states huge
surplus, despite the revenue de-
partment's estimate that the two

In predicting the surplus at the
end of the next biennium, Cover
nor Broughton said:
while I make no claim as a
financial expert, I speak with
confidence and after careful stu
dy of the whole fiscal structure
of this state when I say that if
business conditions during the
next two years continue approx
imately as good as they have
been during the past two
years the reserve fund of $780,
100000 already created will have
at least $10,000,000 added to it

Farming News
BY w. o. HOOPER

J. w. Gambill, chairman of the
Ashe county A. A. A., is convinc-
ed that lining and phosphating
practices are responsible for the
gradual increase in the carrying
of the pasture land in this
section. Mr.. Gambill points out
that this practice is a man-sized
job and a job that can't be done
in one operation and call it quits.
The lasting benefits will be on
lands which receive an applica-
ton of lime and phosphate at reg
ular intervals of four or five
years. This can be done by di-
viding the total pasture acreage
by 5 and making a very special
effort to treat one-fifth each year
and at the end of the five years,
start over in the same rotation.

LANCER Disputes Mead
claim That Roosevelt
Backs Poll Tax Ban

Senator LANCER, Republican, of
North Dakota challenged yesterday
an assertion by Senator Mead. Dem
ocrat, of New York that the "Presi-
dent and our party leaders" favor
Senate passage of House-approved
bill to outlaw collection of the poll
tax as requirement for voting for
Federal officers.
IF Mr.. Roosevelt has taken an
antipoll-tax position he has Ger
tainly refrained from taking any
one but Senator Mead into his con-
fidence," Senator LANCER said In a
statement.
And as for his party's leaders
Perhaps we should ask the Junior
Senator from New York to identity
them. Is the assistant President,
James ByrneS OF South Carolina
one? Are Harry Hopkins of the
palace guard, Judge Fred Vinson of
Kentucky and Speaker of the House
Sam Rayburn of Texas party lead
ers?"
Senator Mead told New York
delegation Monday the president
and our party leaders" favor the
bill now before the Senate Judiciary
Committee.
Senator LANCER asserted that
every effort made by Republican
members of Congress" to eliminate
the poll tax has been successfully
resisted by the Democratic major
ity"
Senator Meads statement, Sena-
tor LANCER said, must be considered

 OWI Critics

New York, Oct. 28.-(UP)-Elmer Davis, director of the Ofiice of War Information, told the Overseas Press club yesterday that some of the criticism directed at his agency emanated from small. time Fascists' and that current critical stories were timed with the fact congress is con- sidering a $5,000,000 appropriation for the OWI overseas branch.
 Davis said that the practice of newspapers "of trying to find out what the facts are is not as gen. eral as 1t was 20 or 25 years ago." Some critics he characterized as 'Fascists who operate through channels not yet fully explored, but which I hope will be-"
 Among the stories he branded as false were assertions that OWI was harboring draft dodgers; that Davis had hired his former employer in the hope of getting his job back after the war; that General Eisen- hover had said the owl had given him more trouble than the Ger mans," and that the agency pursues it's own foreign policy.

JUDGE TO SPEAK
 ON DELINQUENCY
Conn. Vocational Guidance Association to Hold
 Luncheon Tomorrow

Judge Stanley Meade of the Fair field County Juvenile Court will be the speaker at the annual meeting of the Connecticut Vocational Guid- ance Association in Bridgeport on Friday, october 29th. This lunch- con meeting will be held at one o'clock in the Y. W. c. A.
 Ger ainly Judge Meade could se- lect no more timely subject than Juvenile Delinquency, nor could the association have Q speaker bet- ter qualified to discuss this sub- ject. Throughout the nation those who work with young people have found delinquency to be an ever irl- creasiiig problem. Suggestions for stemming the tide have been num- erous and varied as to their suc- cess. With young people themselves becoming daily more concerned about their own delinquency prob- lems, counselors are more obligat- ed than ever to make all possible effort to assist.
 Those who gather to consider these problems with Judge Meade will later participate in the annual meeting of the Guidance Associa- ton, where the report of the nom mating committee, will be consid- cred.
 Reservations for luncheon may be made through Miss Mary Clark, 6O9 Bishop Avenue, Bridgeport Connecticut.
