Other Notes

Last week, DR.. Henry w. Jor-
dan chairman of the North Caro-
lima Highway Commission, and
some members of his staff were
here to confer with various officials
with respect to several problems
in our state.
We are trying to assist the high
way department in obtaining fed
eral funds to improve a highway
connecting New Bern and Cherry
Point. The highway is not ade-
quate because of the crush of mil
itary-connected traffic-but it was
quite satisfactory before the mill
tary moved in. l think it is the re-
sponsibility of the federal govern
ment to help relieve our state of
problem that the military created.
Also we have devoted consider
able time attempting to secure a
surplus Navy landing craft for use
as a ferry at Oregon Inlet. None
of these craft is available now but
perhaps something can be worked
out a little later.

oppression and the rule of ants drove people by the mil

of these miracles striking than agriculture. In

He reported that a total Of almost
ST, 900, 900 had been spent on plant
expansion and modernization dur
ing the year, bringing the total Of
expenditures made since the end
Of the war TO S85, 900. A por-
ton Of the funds spent this year
was devoted 10 adding new capac-
ity at present locations, but an
important part was used for re-
building and replacing existing old
er equipment with more modern
and efficient units.

if continued further, affect prices

that the industry should weather

The Limit Reached

do believe that the people OF
America have been taxed TO the
very limit and l expect to continue
my efforts and give my support to-
wards a reduction IN government
spending. We have reached the
point that there is little incentive
for many Of our honest Americans
10 work a little harder and save
little more, because it does them
so little good.
Incidentally this is the season
when the government begins to buy
new automobiles for the various
new officials presently entitled to
them under the law. l fail TO see
why every official shouldn't furnish
his own automobile and his own
chauffeur, if he wants one-with
the exception Of the President and
few other top-ranking men who
have to do considerable travelling.
It's utter nonsense, it seems to
me, for every administrative off
Ger of moderate rank to be furnish
ed an automobile and chauffeur at
public expense.
l furnish my own automobile, as
do other members of Congress.
That is as it should be. l think that
other officials ought to do the
same.
