Continued Support Of
Merchant Marine Asked

NEW ORLEANS, July 28-RL
Sen Butler (R-Neb) urged today
that the federal government con.
tnue its support of the Merchant
Marine in the postwar period to
prevent the possibility of the
United States being "outmaneuver.
cd by its trade rivals in the Latin
American field"
Those who had part of that
business before the war won't be
losing any time going after it when
the war ends, or even before. p
Butler said in an interview while
attending the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress here.
Butler said that he was "a firm
believer in the promotion of private
enterprise" but he added, "this
doesn't mean that certain or our
enterprises, such as the Merchant
Marine, won't need a measure OF
government backing and support.
The. government cannot step en-
tlrely out Of the picture

PENDER DELAYS
SCHOOL OPENING

Opening of schools in Pende1
county has been delayed by the
Board OF Education until August
81, it was announced after a spe-
cial meeting this week.
Reasons for the delay were liSs'
ed as the polio epidemic and need
of children as workers during to.
bacco gathering in August.
A telegram from the State
Board of Health recommended that
the opening of both white ard
colored schools be delayed until
polio subsidies throughout the
State.
Tobacco farmers who have crops
on stiff land sisted that under
normal conditions they may be
gathering tobacco during most OF
the whole month of August.
At the meeting, County Mechan.
ic A. M. Branch called attention
to the fact that the county gar
age had only % of the 46 required
school buses ready for the schools
opening. Twelve of the buses are
to be overhauled and eight are
to be replaced. 1t was pointed
out that some new buses will be
available this school year but the
delivery date is not known.
A request was made to trans
fer six families in Columbia
township, near Lee DeBoses', from
the Penderlea SCHOOL to the At.
kinson school. This was referred
to the State representative who
routes school buses.
The Board agreed on an in.
creased amount of protection to
he carried on the large school
buildings in case they should
burn. Several years ago a con-
stitutional amendment was adopt
ed, limiting the borrowing of mon
ey by a county to two-thirds of
the amount paid on the proceed
ing years indebtedness.
If any of the larger school build
ings were to burn, the borrowing
power of Fender county would be
limited to about $4,000. This
amount with the protection now
carried would not replace the ne
cessary building in the large
school districts of the county, and
thus the increased amount of pro.
lection adopted by the borad,

C0UNTY'S BUDGET
TOTALS $l,2l4,2O4

New Hanover county's budget
fer 1944-45 calls for $1,214,204, it
was revealed yesterday by Ad-
d;son Hewlett, Sr., chairman of
the Board of County Commission
ers.
Mr.. Hewlett declared that his
board had every hope of reducing
the county tax rate-already the
lowest in the slate-from so cents
t. SIS cents per 500 valuation, but
that the extra appropriation for
New Hanover's schools prohibited
the step.
Actually, the tax rate stands at
40 cents per 500, but 20 cent
addition for the school supplement
el1ngs the total to 60. In the past
fiscal year, the tax was IS cents,
md the school supplement Is
cents.
The 1942-45 budget calls for an
expenditure of $592,614 for all
school purposes: school fund, $128,-
1859; school supplement, $261 900;
school books, $4,000; school build
iags, 1883; school pensions, 49,
39C; and school bonds, $112,899.
Hewlett explained that an elm
nation of federal assistance; an
increase in the salaries of Negro
teachers, in accordance with the
demands of the State legislature;
and supplements incident to the IN
creased teaching stats made nee
cssary by the opening of two new
schools forced the higher school
appropriation.
The entire budget is broken
down il this fashion: county home,
$36,471; dependent children, $780,.
c66; general fund, plus emergency
anticipation, $229, 269; deficit sal
airy fund, 1928; health fund, $751;
ISL; hospital fund, $4,000; old
age assistance, s85,769; school sup
plement, $261,oc0; school books,
SO, 600; school buildings, $73, 555;
school pensions. $4,000; welfare de-
rartment, $32,190. Bond funds
county home, $1,219; court house,
S13, 27O; ferry bonds, $51,315; and
schools, $112,899 J.

.YuIe Gift Volume
Mailed Here Equals
That Of Last Year

Carefully wrapped packages bear
ing gay Christmas seals are crossing
the scales at the post Office and its
branches in about the same tonnage
as last year, Vincent c. Burke,
Washington postmaster. said today.
The volume is about Is per cent
greater than 1912 and 80 per cent
greater than before the war.
THE packages going overseas to
men in the armed services before
the October 16 deadline were about
four times the volume of the year
before" Mr.. Burke said. "Undoubt-
edly that has something to do with
our failing to experience an in
crease over last year in the regular
Christmas mailings this season"
Letters to "Mr. Santa Claus" do
not seem to be as numerous as in
former seasons. Mr.. Burke had no
explanation for the decline. Some
one suggested that Santa was bound
to lose fans what with his sitting in
oAAS AAAAAaAS VA o. StCPnA SJOlC
toy department that has been swept
almost bare.
The post Office has met the man
power situation by recruiting 1900
high school boys and girls and they
are doing a swell job, Mr.. Burke
said. He said the post Office now
has enough help.
The recruiting was done through
the high school authorities and last
Friday all the students working
at the post Office who were up in
their studies were released early
to assist with the mail.
Details of their employment were
worked out to conform with War
Manpower and Child Labor regula-
tions, Mr.. Burke said Girls are
not allowed to work after pm,
boys are sent home at 10 pm. to
comply with the law.
In past years similar help was
recruited through Washington
colleges
