Her life has been devoted to the education us mountain chil- dren. | born a Southern} aristocrat and had the advantage of the! best schooling, as well as European travel.

Off-hand we can not think of one whom we greater. consider ONE COST OF GOVERNMENT The National Ci i League is responsible for the statement | that there are niore than 3,000,000 em-| ployees of our Federal, State, and local government. It reports that their salaries, paid by the people of this country, exceed 4,000,000,000 a year. These are striking figures. They demonstrate the burden government. There is no escaping the load, and every citizen, whether rich or poor, bears part of it. | In calling attention to the number of governmental employees and the amount: of money paid for their services, we do not} imply that the money is not well spent. In fact, proper government, purchased for} this sum, is cheap. Unfortunately, how- ever, very often the people fail to get the j Service Reform of This is not to be attributed graft and corruption, The fact is that, as any caveful student of government realizes, many of our poli- tical employees, including elective officials, are burglers in operating the affairs of state because they lack training. Much better government could be secured in the United States if all employees were re- quired to take a course of training before becoming eligible to serve the public. This article is written with reference to officials ard employees generally would not be taken as a_ reflection upon any group of public servants. In this county and State, we have many faithful public officials just as we have our share of the incompetent. Recognizing a state of affairs that is general, the people here, and elsewhere, should support any pro- posal that tends to secure better trained public servants. entirely to and FLORIDA MISSES A, MAN (Tampa Tribune) No doubt many of those who heard Vernon Hawthorne's clear-cut and courageous radio ad- dress Monday night had the thought that there is a man who ought to be running for Governor this year.

She will sail from Southampton, and will ar- rive in New York on Sun- day, May 31 Her sailing date, originally set for May 26, was postponed to May 27 in or- der that she might arrive in New York on a Sunday, thus permitting more people to see her steam into the harbor The Queen Mary is 1,018 feet long and 118 feet wide. Except for the Norman- die, which is 1,029 feet long, she is the longest ship ever constructed. If stood on end she would reach to the 86th floor of the Empire State Build- j ing in New" York City. She is nearly twice as ‘Jung. as. the Washington Monument, is high. She is five times as long as the Britannia. the first steamship" built™by the Cunard Line; in fact the Britannia .would fit into the Queen Mary's main dining saloon, the largest rogm of its kind ever built in any ship. The totalafea occupied by the Queen Mary approximates twenty acres. Her promenade deck is 750 feet long. ecual to the overall length of the famous Mauretania. She will carry 3.300 persons. including the crew. Notwithstanding +r enormous size she wil. be able to disembark her passengers. to re-store tnd re- fuel. and to proceed on he: next voyage, within twelve hours after her arrival at port. The gross tonnage of the Queen Mary is 80,773. She has a displace- ment tonnage of 77,500 well in ex of that of any other liner. she fax, almost as large as ‘he \ flower must have been to hold all the peopl. that are said to have her.
