DAILY IDISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1934 SIEIMAL Severe Weather of Winter Is Driving Northerners to Warm Climes Tourist travel from the North and East to the warm southern climates has been double this winter what it was a year ago. according to filling station and garage men and others who are in somewhat of a position to observe the traffic. They say there has been much more even since Christmas. Improved economic conditions have had much to do with the increase, but it is believed the severe weather of this winter is more the reason. One filling station operator said today a New York man with his wife and two children stopped at his station to get gas and oil a few day's ago, and said that he had never seen such cold weather. He was a retired business man of the metropolis, who said he. had much to do with firing the furn ace in his home, and that, fire a» he would, he couldn’t keep the house warm. So he bundled the wife Into the car and said he was going as fa. as ho could get on land until ho found warmer weather. He told his daughter when he left to wire him when the weather got warmer in New York and he would come back. It is nothing uncommon to see strings of cars from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and other northern states, amounting almost to a parade, passing through. Most of them are headed south, and very few so far have started back home. The.v will probably remain south until it becomes evident the rigors of the severe winter have pass ed.

Black-Draught For Gas After Meals “About five years ago, I suffered at my stomach quite a good deal,” writes Mr. M. H. Venable, of Persia, Term. “I would, smother, have a lot of gas, and bloat.

Motor Club Committee Se cures Their Cooperation In Undertaking llnll* Ulupnlcli Haiena, In 4lie Mir Uniter Hotel. MY J. It AM ti Bit Yllili. Raleigh. Feb. 21.—North Carolina hotels are registering wholehearted support to the program of highway beautification as outlined by’ Stroth ers Burt, chairman of the Carolina Motor Club State committee on high way beautification, it was learned here today’. v In response to a recent letter to hotel owners asking that they- make a survey of the value of their outdoor advertising signs, numerous letters have been received stating that in many instances highway’ signs have been abandoned and others wrote that • hey are cancelling or not renewing billboard contracts. Hotel managers from throughout the State who are -’till using this form of advertising have signified their willingness to ■discontinue outdoor advertising if their competitors will do so. ‘‘Since my benefit derived will di rectly affect the hotels of the State are appealing to you to give us as much support and cooperation as poci sible,” the letter said. ‘‘We do not in any’ way wish.to seem to inlerfeit I with your .business, but we ask you I as an initial step if you w’ill inves tigate what actual benefit the hotels of the State derive from rural road side advertising. It is the opinion of many experts that such advertising far from benefiting a hotel, to the contrary’ in the present Slate of pub lic opinion, arouses much indignation. A good, a famous hotel, it seems to us, does not need such advertising; a bail hotel cannot be be nr fitted by it. Beautiful highways are a direct attraction to tourists; to citizens they are a bankroll.” A resolution passed several years ago by the Massachusetts Hotel As sociatkm accompanied the letter. The resolution impart follow's: “Wdr»n i! came to a vote on the recouum.nda tion that all billboards in Massa chusetts be abolished, including the hotel directional signs, except those in town or city limits, it was carriea unanimously' and the highway com miss loner of Massachusetts was au vised that this association had so gone on record.” Excerpts from some of the letter.-, follow: Greensboro: Highway signs are not only a nuisance but quite cx pensive. It I can aid in any' way' in helping to get rid of them, call on me.” Charlotte: “We have been con sidcrlng for some time taking down ; our highway signs for we have con cluded their cost is not equalled by their value. We will cooperate with you in yoqr program of higihw'ay' beau tification which is certainly' a worth while project.” Charlotte: “I am in .-uch thorough accord with this move ment that my' hotel lias no advertis ing of any kind upon any highway ax th i.i time.” Winston-Salem: “This hotel discontinued its road signs more than a y'oar ago and never expects Lo have them again.” Chapel Hill. “This hotel has not indulged in sign board advertising for the past two years.” Charlotte: “Contract on our road signs expires in GO day's and we have already given notice to discon tiuuc them at that time.” Textbook Awards Are Spread About 'CooUnued rioxn One • the listing of books published by com panics that do not now hold history book contracts —-with one exception. It is also being pointed out that, while the new law adopted by the 1933 General Assembly says that as many as eight boltos may be listed for each grade, onlly four were listed for the fifth and seventh grades, thus reduc ing the competition in bidding for the books for these grades. Seven books are listed for possible adoption for the seventh grade, although no “his tory of North Carolina” was listed for this grade, because the textbook commission say’s it could not find “four suitable textbooks’’ in North Carolina history. The present hook in North Carolina history, incidentallly, has been in use for more than 20 years, and is pub lished by Alfred Williams and com pany, ’of 'Raleigh, which has held the cdntract on the book throughout this entire 1 period. The book retails at present, and has for many years at 70 cents, and is used as a supplemen tal book in the sixth grade. Last year (1932-33) there were 76,633 chil dren in the sixth grade, according to figures obtained today from the of fice of Dr. A. T- Allen, State super- intendent of public instruction. This number is considered about an aver age attendance for the last several years. Thus for several years now Alfred Williams and Company have been getting an average of $53,641 a year from the sale of this one book to the school children of the State, and which is more than 20 years olid. It is this same Alfred Williams and company that owns or is the State Textbook Depository and which has been collecting approximately' SIOO,- 000 a year as its 10 per cent profit on most of the textbooks sold in the State, whether they pass through its warehouse or not, according to figures contained in the report of th# State Textbook Commission. It is understood that this company has a new history, still in manuscript form, which it is trying to get the State Textbook Commission to list for adoption. It naturally does not want to lose the more than $50,000 a year it has been jetting from the sale of its 20-year old history. The only' company listed in the new recommendations of the textbook commission which now has a history book contract, is D. C. Heath and company, which for the past 12 years has held the contracts for the fifth and seventh grade history books. With 59.311 children in tlie fifth grade arid thi shook by D. C. Heath selling for 65 cents each, llealh has been j collecting approximately $59,892 a year for this book. The seventh grade book, on which they have also h'J*‘ a contract 12 years, retains for $1.05, has thus been bringing them in about $69,545 a year, or a total on the two bjooks of approximately $329,437 year—not a bad income for 12 years. The boob published by this company for the seventh grade is again recom j mended for adoption. I Ginn and -Company and Charier | Scribners’ Sons seem to have come . out best, having one of their history books listed as suitable for adoption in all three grades. Row, Peterson and Company got books recommend ed for two of the three grad* l ;!, while the World Book Company got one on the fifth grade list. Allyn and Bacon and the American Book Company. MacMillan Company and John (J. Winston Company all got one text on the sixth grade list, m addition to others already mentioned. Allyn and Bacon allso got another of its texts recommended tor the seventh grade. The State representative ot u. c. Heath and Company, who has been sc successful in keeping two of the his tory texts published by his company for the past 12 years, and who alsc succeeded in getting another one re commended for adoption for anohtei five years, is Fred Terrell, or Bui lington. The representatives for Sil ver, Burdette anil Company, who have held the contract on the sixth grade history for 12 years, hut. who did not get a text on (he .recommend' ed list, is It. G. Fitzgerald, a. former member of. the old State Textbook commission, and who about a year ago landed the fat contract for> the new geography series in the State, running through four grades and,for a period of five years. The general belief is that since Fitzgeiulld and the Silver. Burdette and Company had just recently landed this other contract that they could be left off entirely this time. For the past six to eight weeks be tween 25 and 30 representatives of textbook publishers and quite a num ber of publishers have been in Ra leigh, most of them staying at the Sir- Waiter hotel), to appear before num erous sessions of the textbook com mission to.present the merits of their various bookks, and tell the mem bers of the commission that a great responsibility they had, how import ant they arc and urge the listing of their particular text or texts. The general belief here is that the new textbook commission, of which Superintendent Clyde Erwin, of Rutherford county, chairman, and Mrs. Wilson of Durham, secretary, has done an unusually careful, thor ough and conscientious job, but that in sonic cases of high pressure tact ics of the textbook publishers and their representatives were 100 much 1 for them; also that they were not. en tirely familiar with the whole back ground of the textbook problem, in North Carolina.
