Baptist Church
Near Completion

The Baptist church at Smeth-
port, which has been under con-
struction for the past year, is
now nearing completion and is
ready for services, Rev. A. c.
Ashley, pastor, announced this
week.
The pastor and the members
of the church wish to thank all
who contributed to help in the
building of the church and also
want to thank the Methodist peo-
pie of Smethport for the use of
their church while the Baptist
church has been under construc-
ton.
Services will be held on Sun
day night, January 5. Regular

and has gained citation from
national groups for his endeavors.
Liquor, as always, will cause
some debate. 1t is very unlikely,
though, that any changes will be
made in current laws regulating
liquor sales through ABC stores.
State employees, noting Cover
nor Cherry's public utterances
that their salaries should be rails
ed, are expecting increases APP
proximating 20 per cent. They say
the cost Of living has increased
even more. They have almost
unanimous support of legislators,
who, incidentally, cannot get
more than $40 a day for their
services. A proposed CONSTITUTE
ional amendment which would
have allowed legislators an ad-
ditional $40 a day for so days
for expenses was defeated by the
people.
Sheriffs to Oppose Cherry
Governor Cherry, when inaugu-
rated in 1945, asked that the S.
B. l., the Highway Patrol and
the Bureau of Identification be
united. His efforts were fruitless
in that legislative session, but
Cherry is dogmatic and tenacious.
Sources close to him say that he
will again seek that consolidation
in l947. If he does, the sheriffs of
the State will oppose him, as they
did two years ago.
Some sales tax opponents are
likely to seek its abolition. The
sales tax, however, in all likely
hood will stay in North Carolina.
There might be several minor
changes as to to its enforcement.
The proposed changes in solicit
torial districts, as recommended
by a special commission appoint
ed by Governor Cherry as dir
ected by the 1945 Assembly,
would decrease the number from
81 to 10, increase the pay of solicit
tors from $4,000 to $4,000 a year,
and increase their travel allow
ance from $500 to $500 a year.
Also, solicitors could not engage

Good Health Program Asked


Sponsors of the good health pro-
gram, who have adopted a pro-
gram that reaches into every
county, city and hamlet, are ask
ing for millions of the surplus
They want four-year medical
school at the University of North
Carolina, related hospital, medi-
cal centers in every county, as
slstance to students studying med
lcine, and assistance to the indig-
ent, who cannot afford hospital
attention.
That those sponsors will have
Weighty representation in the 1947
Legislature is we'll known. Among
them is DR.. Frank P. Graham,
Greater University president; DR..
Clarence Poe, editor of the Pro-
gressive Farmer, and innumerable
organizations throughout tn e
State.
The Game and Inland Fisheries
fight will be one of the most bitter
on the next legislative session. 1t
actually was inspired before the
1945 Assembly. Then, a special
legislative committee was ap-
pointed to inquire into the feast
bility of separting the division
from the Department of Con-
servation and Development. It
reported, unanimously, that the
division should not be separated
Since then, the North Carolina
Wildlife Association has promoted
propaganda, has formed clubs, all
seeking separation.
In the meantime, the depart
ment has not been asleep and has
concentrated on improvements of
its game and fish program. Com
missioner John D. Findlay has
employed new personnel, has
sponsored changes on regulations,
has altered enforcement policies,

When the 1947 Legislature con.

funds. Here is a brief summary
OF some of them:

appropriations requests.

ent improvements requests.
3. Teachers pay.

Legislature Will Have Many Problems This Year

The State has millions of dol
lars on hand, most of it sailed
away during the war boom. 1t
earmarked $2O,OOO,OOO for a post
war reserve fund and set aside
$51 100000 for retirement of the
States debt.
Now, about every State institu-
ton and department, plus thou
sands of teachers, are asking for
lot more money.
The teachers themselves are
embroiled in a fight. One faction,
the North Carolina Education AS
ISOLATION, is asking for raises
amounting to more than 20 per
cent. Another faction, the South
Piedmont group, is asking for at
least 40 per cent, and actually
wants more.
improvements Are Requested
Permanent improvements re-
quests, such as desires for build
ings, engagements, and renoVa-
tons, total 88,662,88 for the next
biennium.
General fund requests total
$191, 100000 compared with $780,
100000 for the current biennium.
The Agriculture Department is
asking for $2,280,0OO for the next
biennium, compared with $685.
900 for the current biennium. The
Highway Department, faced with
gigantic programs, is asking for
$108,000,000 for the 1947-49 bien-
Mum, compared with $150,000,000
for the current biennium, but the
difference is made up with mil
lions of Federal funds already al
located.
The States surplus now totals
nearly $50,000,000.
Everybody seems to want part
of it.

BUSY RECREATION
PROGRAM SET UP
FOR THIS SUMMER
Recreation Participation At
All-Time High As Fund
Drive Is Made
This Summers Busy Program
Reflects the Revival OF
Organized Activity

One of Buttons busiest summer
recreation programs of all time, well
under way here with the weather
finally clearing up, was pointed out
this week as tangible evidence of
the eonnmunity's revived interest in
recreation, and for which the second
annual house-to-house solicitation
for funds is under way this week.
Canvassing for donations to
finance the year-around program will
be completed this week, with the
goal of the drive set at $4,000.
Spokesman for the recreation
committee pointed this week to an
unusually busy summer program as
proof that only one year of organic
ed recreation direction was necessary
to revive Buttons interest.
Two travelling softball teams are
playing under the lights at Harmon
field; a junior baseball team Is in a
tri-county league, and IL adult and
children teams are playing in the
Harmon field recreation program.
New Playground For Children
Other activity includes full-time
activity at Harmon field under
recreation director, plus the interest
evidenced in a new children's play
ground established at the field.
This represents a complete revers-
al of conditions prevailing here
during war years when organized
activity was discontinued, and
recreation facilities dropped to an
all-time low, it was pointed out.
Continuation and further expan-
sion Of the recreation program de-
pends on the community's response
in the drive necessary to finance ex-
penditnres. as&
In addition to summer activity,
the recreation program last year IN
cIuded winter basketball and volley-
ball play for adults and kiddies; and
establishment of an outdoor ice
skating rink on the college campus.
Harmon fields unused tennis
courts also were re-worked and pro-
vide a popular play center; the new
playground for kiddies was estab-
lished, and the grade school play
ground was hard-surfaced, making
it suitable for wet weather activity.
