Families think now that every one will be perfect if their men ust return home alive. They naturallv aren’t worrying about anv period of adjustment, or any problem.’, or any difficulties in un derstanding. must -a ~ But that is because, down in jjjeir hearts, they are expecting their men to come home to them essentially unchanged. Something ought to prepare them for the changes that may have taken place. They ought to have a little knowledge of what to expect and how to behave toward war weary service men. It isn't really enough for them to count on their love guiding them. They’ll need some expert a(;v;ce _ and most of them won’t get it, unless Uncle Sam gives it ! to them. Wouldn’t it be a good idea, then, for Uncle Sam to have these ex perts write a booklet, not in tech nical language but in language Bill’s mother or his wife could understand, explaining as much as possible just what the returning soldier is apt to be like and how his family should treat him, and send these booklets to the families of returning service men? * * * Presbyterian Young People Will Meet Ato Pearsall Memorial The Fifth Sunday meeting of the Presbyterian Young People of this c.ty will be held at 7 oiclock Sun day night at Pearsall Memorial church.

Reasons for the delay were list 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 aid colored schools be delayed until polio subsides throughout the State. Tobacco farmers who have crops on stiff land silted 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 23 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. It 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 nmount of protection to be 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 preceed ing year’s indebtedness. If any of the larger school build ings were to burn, the borrowing power of Pender county would be limited to about $31,000. This amount with the protecton now carried would not replace the ne cessary buliding in the large school districts of the county, and thus the increased amount of pro tection adopted by the borad. ._v_ Continued Support Of Merchant Marine Asked NEW ORLEANS, July 28—(/fl— Sen Butler (R-Neb) urged today that the federal government con tinue its support of the Merchant Marine in the postwar period to prevent the possibility of the United States being “outmaneuver < d 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 (be war ends, or even before,’’ 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 tirely out of the picture.” -V Rocket ship scientists say man’s body can stand a sped of 25,000 miles an hour as easily as 25 miles provided acceleration is gradual. COUNTY’S BUDGET TOTALS $1,214,204 New Hanover county’s budget lor 1944-45 calls for $1,214,204, it was revealed yesterday by Ad <rson Hewlett, Sr., chairman of tile Board of County Commission ers. Mr. Hewlett declared that his board had every hope of reducing ihe county tax rate—already the lowest in the slate—from 60 cents to 55 cents per $100 valuation, but that the extra appropriation for New Hanover’s schools prohibited tne step. Actually, the tax rate stands at 40 cents per $100, but a 20 cent c adition for the school supplement bungs the total to 60. In the past fiscal year, the tax was 45 cents, end the school supplement 15 cents. The 1942-45 budget calls for an expenditure of $592,614 for all school purposes: school fund, $128, 769; school supplement, $261,000; school books, $12,000; school build ings, $73,555; school pensions, $4, £90; and school bonds, $112,899. Hewlett explained that an elim ination of federal assistance; an increase in the salaries of Negro teachers, in accordance with the demands of the State legislature; i and supplements incident to the in creased teaching staffs made nec essary by the opening of two new schools forced the higher school appropriation. The entire budget is broken down in this fashion: county home, $36,471; dependent children, $50, 066; general fund, plus emergency anticipation, $229,269; deficit sal ary fund, $22,298; health fund, $21, 161; hospital fund, $21,800; old age assistance, $85,769; school sup plement, $261,000; school books, $;2,000; school buildings, $73,555; school pensions, $4,390; welfare de partment, $32,190.
