YOU BELONG TO ME" IS COMEDY
 NOW AT CAPITOL

When a man. marries his doctor because he likes her bedside man. ner, he has no right to be jealous if her practice consists chiefly of handsome, and susceptible, young men.
 That, generally speaking, is the subject matter of Columbias happy, hilarious new hit. You Belong To Me" which stars Barbara Stan wyck and Henry Fonda at the Capi- tol. "You Belong To Me" is one of the greatest love-and- laugh romps of the season.
 You Belong To Me" is an incred- ibly hilarious comedy, partly be- cause of the ineffable pairing of the stars, partly because of the madly merry story, partly because of Wesley Ruggles' riotous direction partly because good movie makers make great movies when they get together.
 A recital of the story could only hint at the uproarious hila,ity en- gendered by You Belong To Me- which is comedy of moods and manners. Fonda is seen as the playtoy who marries doctor. firm in the intention of allowing her to continue her practice of medicine. But, when he discovers half the town saying "Ah-h-hi" to his bride, he quite understandably becomes a bit jealous. He fight with her pa- tients, he fights with his bride, he even fights--and wins!-with him. self.

JOHN SMALL RESIGNS
AS ADMINISTRATOR

Washington - John ID. Small
has turned in his resignation as
Civilian Production Administrator
with the assertion that industrial
transition from war to peace sis
largely behind u.s."
The 53-year-old Chicago bust
nessman and former naval officer,
whose agency was set up to ia
cilitate industry's reconversion,
told President Truman in a letter:
'For the past several months
we have had practically full en-
ployment. Production has been
the highest in our peacetime his
tory. For these reasons believe
that the industrial transition from
war to peace is largely behind us.
/ do not mean to imply that all of
our problems have been over
come.
However, once the difficult
acknowledgement problems con-
fronting the country are solved
and I am confident that they will
be solved-still higher levels of
production will pave the way to
an even higher standard of living
for the American people"

Gardner Named
Envoy To Britain
N. G.. Leader Named To Num-
Der One AmbassadOrship
BY President

Washington - President Tru-
man last week appointed o. Max
Gardner the new United States
Ambassador to Great Britain.
The announcement of the selec-
ton of the former North Caro-
lima governor came at a White
House news conference. It eli
NAKED weeks of unofficial reports
that the Tar Heel would be ask
ed by the Chief Executive to leave
his post of Undersecretary of the
Treasury and accept the country's
No. / ambassadorship.
Although the appointment came
as no great surprise, both the
President and Governor Gardner
previously had given little sup
port to the reports flying around
the capital since w. Averell Har-
riman vacated the London en-
bassy to succeed, Henry A. Wal
lace as Secretary of Commerce
several weeks ago. Whenever
the North Carolinian's name was
mentioned as possibility for any
of several important Federal
posts including the ambassador
ship, President Truman invariably
emphasized his intention to keep
Governor Gardner in his Treas
ury assignment, where his talents
bore heavily on budget-balancing
and other fiscal and tax matters.
The assignment, which carries
a $4,000 annual salary, is sub
ject to Senate confirmation. The
Upper Houses approval is re-
garded as certainty, although it
probably will delay his depart
ure until some time in January.

n. c. Board Seeking Funds
For Counties For Buildings

Raleigh-The State Board of
Education last week adopted a re-
port of its building committee rec
ommending that the State estab-
lish a SIS, 100000 fund for as
sisting counties, by grants-in-aid,
in constructing public school
buildings in a five-year program.
No suggestion was made as to
the source of the fund, but the
committee limited broadly that it
be set aside from a general sur
plus fund. This totaled about
$4,000, 900 last July /, when a
postwar reserve fund of $40, 000,-
600 was included.
The committee, headed by D.
Hiden Ramsey, of Asheville,
pointed out in its report that a
survey disclosed the need for at
least $100,000,O00 worth of new
building in the State.
However, it was pointed out
that "the majority of the counties
in the State find themselves fl
nancially or legally incapable of
meeting their building needs"
It was proposed to use the $685.
100000 as an equalization fund,
to be distributed on a basis OF
need. This would mean that the
poorer counties would get the big
gest shares. However, it was en-
phasized that all counties would
share in the fund.
The Board of Education, in ac-
cepting the report in principle
agreed with the committees con-
tention that the time has come fol
the State to assist the counties in
school plant construction through
direct aid, rather than by loans
The loan method has been the
sole means employed in the past
It was directed, however, that
the committee make further rec
concentrations on a formula fol-
distributing the proposed fund.
Controller Paul Reid explained
that the State board still holds to
the theory that the erection Of

U. S. Army Extends Draft
Holiday Through january

Washington Temporarily over
strength, the army extended the
draft holiday through January,
but made no promises for Febru-
airy.
A brief announcement that for
the third successive month there
will be no call on Selective Serv-
ice for men was accompanied by
official hints that a substantial
February quota would be neces-
sary because of a sharp decline in
voluntary enlistments.
Whether Congress will be ask
ed to extend Selective Service
beyond March 81, its present ex-
piration date, was left unanswer-
ed.
In mid October, when the War
Department cancelled DIR a f
quotas for the remainder of this
year, voluntary enlistments were
more than meeting the regular
army's need for an average of
81, 900 new men each month.
Since then, the announcement
notice said, there has been abrupt
and continuing reduction" in the
number of volunteers. In No
vember they averaged fewer than
5000 week.
The decision to extend the draft
! holiday another month was made,
nevertheless, by Secretary of War
Patterson and General Dwight D
Eisenhower because the army's
payroll is still too large in view
of administration economy or
ders. Another reason was that
officials are uncertain what the
arny's strength will be by the
years end.
Latest reports show the regu-
lars are down to about 100000
effectives, with about 100000 Of
ficers and men classed as "ineffec-
tives" because of being on termi-
nal leave, in hospitals or other
wise unavailable for service.
Total strength has been reduc-
ed by about 100000 in the last
two months and under announced
plans is to be further cut to about
100000 by December 81. TIC
, comply with congressional orders
regular army strength by mid
1947 must be down to 100000.

Ny hobby is collecting the post
marks from envelopes. The post
marks are the little round stamps
that tell the time the letter was
mailed and where it was mailed. I
keep these postmarks pasted in a
scrapbook.
The scrapbook is divided into 49
different parts. Each part is labeled
for a State, beginning with Alabama
and going through the Al others in
alphabetical order. The 49th place
is for foreign postmarks.
I have postmarks from nearly all
of the States and also from Canada
and Germany.
I first started collecting postmarks
when I was in the second grade.
We were studying about the United
