JANUARY BUSINESS
GAINS SUBSTANTIAL
For Most Part Steady, Says
Review Made Public by
Citizens Bank
The following- January business re
view was made public today by the
Citizens Bank and Trust Company:
"January’s business gains warn
truly substantial and, for the most
part, steady. Lumber production rose
rapidly hi response to increased ac
tivity in the construction field. Steei
output slumped at the turn of the
year but recovered to enter upon.
February at the highest levels since
October. Coal producers profited by
real winter weather and car loadings
of both bulk and merchandise freight
continued to grow.
"Electric power consumption gain
ed in the industrial East but fell off
jomewhat in the South and West.
Construction contracts continued the
gains which began in July, ith pub
licly ffinancod project)-; fair in the
lead.
"Both retail and wholessvTe trade
gained and the wholesale price, level
stood at 72.7 on January 31st. A year
ago—on February 4, 1933—the index
touched the all time low of 52.5.
"January closed with a particularly
significant announcement. On the last
day of the month, President Roose
velt revalued the dollar by executive
order. Measured in terms of the old
dollar, the new one is worth only
59.06 cents, but except as prices re
act over a period of months there
is likely to be no noticeable change
except where foreign trade is con
cerned.
"Thu President’s order fixed the
price of gold at $35.00 an ounce in
stead of the accustomed $20.67, and
•automatically raised the price of this
country’s gold holdings from $4,-
029,100,000.00 to $6,851,000,000. The
Government has claimed this profit.
“Stabilization of the dollar is ex
pected to strength public confidence
and to encourage long-term investing
by private capital.”

CWA Funds Asked
For Listing Here
Delinquent faxes
The Vance Board of County Com
missioners at their meeting Monday
approved an application to be made
for CWA funds to be used in listing
all tax delinquents not on the books
or failing to pay during the past sev
eral years, and authorized Chairman
S. R. Adams and Comniisioner S. B.
Rogers to sign the application for
the board. It is believed that in
this way considerable money long
owing to the county may be recovered
It is thought that the funds will be
asked for from the new appropria
tion now on its way through Congress
and which will carry the CWA work
until the spring.

hould resign. They charge that he
isn’t in sympathy with their mea

bring the rift in the organization be
fore the public. ■,
There will be in Raleigh during
April a meeting at which the voters
league composed of organized labor
members is to be formed. Its purpose
is to instruct voters in the duties of
citizenship, but it is that
the organization is going to fight any
and all candidates who are not known
to be friendly to organized labor. T'.tc
members of the local unions do not

NUMBER PRISONERS
AT CAMP GREATER
65 At End of January, Com
pared With 54 at First
of The Year
Due at least in part to the grind
of a term of superior court, the State
Highway Commission’s convict camp
on the eastern outskirts of Hender
con showed a considerable increase
in population at the end of January,
as compared with the figure the first
of the year.
J. IL GuplO'n, supervisor, in his
monthly report to the. State commis
si< i, just mailed, to Raleigh, showed
65 prisoners at the end of the month,
compared with only 54 at the first of
the period. During January a total
of 32 prisoners were received, mak
ing 86 in all. Deductions from that
figure, however, included 14 diss*
charges and two paroles, with’ five
li.aii fe-.Ted Io other camps, giving 65
in the camp on January 31.

ant favorably. Brynes has certain
qualities in common with Postmaster
General James A. Farley. That is to
say, he is a smooth political manipu
lator. He lacks Farsey’s superficial
affability, and decidedly is of a sour
temperament. His basic ability, how
ever, is regarded by most authorities
as superior to the postmaster gene
ral’s.
Any attempt to classify him as a
liberal or a conservative is a matter
of tin* merest guesswork.
Since this slickness suits the presi
dent in Farley, why shouldn’t it in
Brynes?
It does, evidently; he is recognized
as the executive mansion’s senate fix
er.

but the bettin gis two or thre to one

eral migratory wildfowl refuge locat
ed in Hyde county is being carried
out by the Civilian Conservation
Corps assigned to the U. S. Bureau
of Biological Survey, W. L. Birsch,
U. S. game protector at Elizabeth
City, said today.
According to Mr. Birsch, a 79-foot
steel forest fire observation toweui
has been erected for the purpose of
protecting th refuge ’against forest
fires. The tower is surmounted by an
enclose dcabin on which a lookoui
will be stationed during periods of
high fire hazards.
Another improvement, Mr. Birsch
continued, is the construction of a
road from the mainland to the re*
fuge keepers house and to the con
servation camp on Belle Island. Other
features include the construction or
ponds which will serve as migratory
wild fowl concentration and feeding
grounds.

Paris, Feb. 6. — (AP) Premier
Edouard Daladier summoned his radi
cal socialist party today to aid him
“to prevent civil war.”’ lest “the re
public be forced to abdicate.”
'“The fundamentals of agitation,”
declared the premier, "lie in the eco
nomic and financial crisis. The in
cidents wc are witnessing drift into
crystallization of discontent.”
He said he had shaken up the gov
ernment because a "certain letdown"
was revealed by the operation c.”
Serge Stavisky and the resultant col
lapse of tfre Bayonne Municipal Pawn
Shop.
Daladier pleaded with a tense
Chamber of Deputies “to defend my
regime.” He made a ministerial de
(cliai ation cn which the cabinet asked
a voiie of confidence.
In a viforant appeal to “united rc
.publicana” to support the firm mea.-
