Better Business Will Continue, Says Review New York, Feb. 22.—()—Dun & Bradstreet in its weekly business re- view declared Friday that “business again is giving more convincing mani- festations of pushing forward to new heights for the year.” “Any pause at this time,” the re- ‘view stated, “is viewed as a prepara- tory period for more sweeping ad- vances, rather than marking the be- ginning of a reaction similar to that which followed the abortive recovery movement early in 1934.” | Livestock | SO.

Feb. 22.—(7)— ‘The oft-told and sometimes dis- Puted story of George Washing- ton and the cherry tree was told with a new version Friday—one in which the youthful. George is represented as having chopped down the tree because of a dispute with his step-brothers. It was related by Webster Mar- tel Smith of Coalsburg, W. Va.. who said he learned what he call- ed the true circumstances of the incident while delving into musty records of his family. He is a direct descendent of Martina Ball Smith, an aunt of the nation’s first president. According to Smith's version, the boys of the Washington fam- ily, which included children of the first wife of George's father, squabbled each year over the fruits of a certain cherry tree on the Washington place along the Rappahannock in Virginia. If George and his own brother took possession of the tree, his step-brothers bombarded them with sticks and stones. One summer, George, armed with a hatchet, assembled his companions, including Negro boys, and climbed into the tree. They withstood the usual bom- bardment for a time, but finally George jumped to the ground and chopped down the tree, shouting: “By the eternal, if Mary Ball's boys can’t have these cherries, her step-sons can’t have them either.” The story then relates that George’s father threatened to punish him, but relented after hearing his son’s forthright reply, as every child has not doubt heard. and| Carney Song Contest Won by ‘U’ Freshmen Grand Forks, Feb. 22.—(#}—More than 400 freshmen, led by Choregus Phil Poppler of Grand Forks, sang to victory over three classes in the twen- ty-fifth annual Carney song contest lof the University of North Dakota Thursday.

Claude Carney, Minneapolis, donor of the $50 annual cash prize, the contest ‘was the opening eveni of the univer- sity's founders’ day celebration. Car- ney presided, serving in that capacity for the first time in the 25-year his- tory of the song contest he founded. Choregi leading their classes’ sing- ing, besides Poppler, were Wendell Petersen, Hudson, Wis. senior; Rolf Hovey, Tioga, N. D., junior; and Bert (Christianson, Grand Forks, sopho- more.

Grinley of Portland, N. D. and Richard K. Klein of Maddock, N. D. Committee Endorses City Employes Bill A bill which would limit hours of employment of municipal employes was recommended for passage Friday by the senate committee on state af- ‘ fairs, after being amended. As finally recommended, the bill is amerided so it would not apply to fire departments, and would put police- men on an eight-hour day and a 56- hour week basis. The bill is Senate Bill 198. ‘The major amendments were made by Senatar A. W. Fowler of Cass af- ter Commissioner F. W. Sheffield of Fargo and H. G. Owen, Grand Forks city attorney, opposed the bill as orig- inally drawn. The two, with Mayor Fred Olsen of Fargo indicated they were satisfied with the bill as finally amended. Commissioner Sheffield said that as the bill originally was, providing for firemen and police working on an eight hour day, 48 hours a week, it und drastical'y affect the Fargo sit- uation. Police in Fargo are now on an eight hour day but work 56 hours a week, Sheffield stated, with the firemen operating on a platoon system with 12 hours a day duty although not working during the entire period. He asked that fire and police depart- ments be excluded from the provisions of the bill. Young Republicans Hope to Seize G.O.P.

The proposal, sponsored by Edwin Traynor of Ramsey, Ed A. Hill of Cavalier and L. C. Odegard of Trail, earlier in the day had been re-en- dorsed by the super-committee of 21 legislative factional leaders, in meet- ing with Governor Walter Welford. A house bill which would refund a million dollars from the state hail de- partment surplus and distribute the Money to the common schools of North Dakota, was unanimously re- endorsed Friday at a meeting of the super committee of legislative fac- tional leaders: with Governor Walter Welford presiding. Reiteration of the previous endorse- ment of the measure was requested by Rep. Edwin Traynor of Ramsey who informed Governor Welford that “the story has gone out” that the group was “weakening” on its previous stand. On motion of Senator L. L. Twichell of Cass, the committee unanimously reiterated its support. Part of Revenue Program The measure, sponsored by Rep- resentatives Traynor, L. C. Odegard of Traill, and E. A. Hill of Cavalier, is part of the proposed revenue raising program. Under the plan of the 21 faction leaders sitting on the super commit- tee, the house tax committee may Place the bill on the floor Friday, with Possible final aation Saturday and with senate action by Tuesday. As discussed by the committee, Welford could immediately sign the bill which would become effective iat once and if its constitutionality would be questioned, it could receive im- mediate consideration in the courts |Two Other Freighters Safe Af- ter Trouble in Storm Off Coast of France New York, Feb. 22.—(#)—The crew of the 8, S. Taide, one of the three Italian freighters which sent out SOS calls in the gale-swept Bay of Biscay, was saved Friday, agcording to mes- sages received by the Radio Marine Corporation. The crew of the stricken ship was taken off at 10:30 a. m. (EST) by the 8. 8. Galea. The two other freighters which flashed SOS signals were the 8. S. Caterina Madre and the Ruventus. The Caterina Madre, a 4,019-ton boat operated by the Corrado Line, reported she had lost her propeller and asked for a tug to tow her to port. The Juventus. of 4,920-gross_ tons, and owned by the Sociazone Com- merciale de Navagazione, wirelessed that @ crew member had been swept overboard. Steaming to the rescue of the Cat- erina Madre wes the tug Seefulke. The predicament of the Taide could not be learned immediately. Follow- ing her 808 early Friday morning, “urgent, assistance required,” her wireless went dead. To Open Services at Wilton Rural Church Rev. H. E.

In readiness in the event the re- fund bill would become ineffective, will be a measure proposing an addi- tional one cent a gallon tax on gaso- line, with the additional revenue to go to the schools, the super committee decided. Feasibility Questioned Senator C. W. Fine of Benson and Rep. Harvey Solberg of Williams, al- though finally voting to re-endorse the Traynor-Odegard-Hill bill, ques- tioned its feasibility. Senator Fine said the program did not appear to meet with approval of the senate committee on taxes and tax laws when he discussed it with that group. The education commit- tee had adopted a maximum school program calling for $4,000,000 annual- ly, and a minimum program of about $1,700,000, he said. He also stated he was “not so sure the schools can get so much benefit” from the hail bill. Answering questions raised by Senator Fine, Rep. Traynor said that payments would be credited to out- standing school taxes. The hail sure plus was built up by the farmers for the purpose of establishing a fund from which hail losses could immed- jately be paid, Senator Fine said, and stated that under a compulsory hail bill pending in the legislature, losses to be paid would be much greater. Suggest Another System Answering this, Senator A. W. Fowler of Cass asserted the officials of the insurance department had sug- gested a million dollars through an- other system of disbursement. “They should be in a position to know whether the surplus can stand it or not,” Senator Fowler said. “The only question here is the method.” Under the hail refund bill, the state hail insurance permanent surplus fund would be reduced to $3,000,000, and the additional surplus of $1,- 638,865.41 now in the fund in excess of that maximum would be refunded to the school districts on the basis of the amount of tillable land in coun- ties against which the one cent hail tax originally was levied. The re- funds would apply against back school taxes and if no back school taxes are on the books, the money would be ap- Plied against school taxes levied in the future. Goes to Rural Districts Under Traynor's bill urban school districts containing no tillable land against which the hail tax applied, would receive no money, and the fund would be distributed principally among the common rural school dis- tricts. In many cases land holders who recently obtained the land would receive benefits from Traynor’s bill although they paid no part of the original hail tax. Under the hail insurance depart- ment plan the money would go to the equalization fund and could be dis- tributed among all schools or con- fined to certain districts, “as the leg- islature may see fit.” Democrats Scramble For CCC Patronage Washington, Feb. 22.—(#)}—House Democrats scrambled Friday to see who could be first in line for the right to recommend workers for 10,000 new jobs in the civilian con- servation corps.
