from the marrow of your bones to re-
place those that are WORKOUT. A low
blood count may affect o in several
ways: no appetite, underwe1ght, no
energy, a rundown condition. lack OF
resistance to infection and disease.
To get real relief you must keep up
your blood strength. Medical authorities,
tive proof shown that SIS Tonic Is
amazingly effective in building up low
blood strength in non-organic nutri-
tional anemia. This is due to the SIS
Tonic formula which contains special

Also, SIS Tonic helps you enjoy the
food you eat by increasing the gastric
digestive juice when it is n~on-organi-

Representative Elect Ker.
mon Indicates Support
OF Minimum Wage Law

A state appropriation of $500, 900,

AGAINST venereal disease il New
Hanover county, and other sections
If North Carolina, will be asked by
Alton A. Lennon, state senator
elect. when the General Assembly
convenes in Raleigh next Wednes-
dav. it was learned here last night.
Also in attendance in Raleigh on
Wednesday will be R. M. Kermon,
Wilmington attorney and represen-
t%ative-elect.
The senator-elect said he would
.ek that the money be turned over
IN the State Board of Health adding
The amount was negligible in COM
narison with other appropriations
which will be asked during the ses-
sion.
IF all the requests are granted
IN all the institutions asking for
funds, there won't be any money
left for several projects" Lennon
nredicted, "but. I thing an nati-VD
nrogram will mean more to the
c+a1e than several of the proposed
bills"
Lennon pointed out four years
400 a state income from. the
REYNOLDS foundation provided $3.50, .
400 annually for a crusade against
v~enereal disease. and said the drive
was highly successful here, and
throughout the state. Since this
source Of money has been halted,
the VD problem has arisen again,
he said.
Scheduled also for legislators at
tertion at the general assembly
will be proposals for a minimum
wage law in North Carolina. Len
non said he was not against the
general principle of such a law.
Kermon indicated he would sup
port such a proposal, adding that
he thought capitol and labor were
getting along fine in North Caro-
lima"
A fight looms in the assembly
over a state highway proposal to
seek a constitutional amendment to
prevent diversion of highway funds
10 other appropriations.
Kermon and Lennon both indicat-
ed they were opposed to the legisla-
ture being bound by law in the mat
ter of ~delegating funds in any di-
rection it sees fit. Lennon said
he was rot in favor of diverting
funds from the highway depart
ment. but the legislature should be
able to borrow funds for any emer-
gerry, he added.
Both New Hanover county legis-
lators have strongly supported an
increase in state teachers salaries,
another issue to face assembly de-
bate.
Other local matters scheduled to
be brought before the assembly
meeting are a domestic relations
court, and the possible extension of
Carolina Reach citv limits.

Lax Budgetary Controls
Blasted At Hearing
In Washington
The Morning Star
Washington bureau

WASHINGTON, April 20. The
Maritime commission yesterday
incurred the wrath of another
House committee, the second in
the last few days, when the appro-
priations committee demanded that
the "amazingly lax budgetary con-
trolls and utter disregard of sound
business practices" in the agency
"be cured immediately"
The Commission previously
had been attacked by the Mer-
chant Marine committee, over al
legedly "wasteful" sales of prop
erty from stripped eserve fleet
ships.
Proposing to let the Commission
spend 81, 300, 900 above previous
limitations on expenditures from
its revolving fund, the Appropria-
tons committee report or the
second deficiency bill quoted Mari
time officials as having testified
that, ven if the limitation were
raised by 500, 900 more. they would
still require 1891, 900 to meet their
pay rolls to June 80, 1947."

IRENE difficulty in finding out the
true situation with respect to fund
requirements and as a result OF
this experience is not too certain
that the figures furnished are
firm, the report said.
Admitting that the Commission
was entitled to anticipate ad.
