Devil Wallace Wade who "knew it all the time" was away from home when the official bid to the Rose Bowl battle came to Duke and was accepted He was up in Philadelphia getting a few pointers from the watching the Eagles and Bears have it out While away Wallace got the Rose Bowl bid but he lost his shirt Matter of fact he lost two or three shirts since being a coaching plutoctat he has two or three shirta The shirts were in his traveling bag which wa in car when car was stolen There is only one effective remedy A good team will never jet down a good coach It if up to the Blue Devils Nothing will serve but that on January first they sally forth and bring back to Teacher Wallace Oregon shirt There I A Law Scrrietirres seme of us cannot but think there are too many laws but other times we are glad there is this statute or that We should not be surprised today if a great many Durham City and Durham County folk are reminded that they are especially gratified over the State of North Carolina's relatively new local nance controL Durham would Lke a vocational building but the project could be off on too ambitious a scale The City and County managed to corral $145690 but and behold that proved to be 1115009 short What started with reasonable modesty baa mushroomed info a quarter-of-a-millkm proposition Under the law restricting indebtedness the County cannot undertake to guarantee another $36000 It is a good thing Both City and County probably would be spending a great deal more borrowed money than they are were not that barrier cf enforced solvency there Two Point Durham doesn't like the way in which Qie City Council and the Durham County Commissioners went about removing Mrs Mamie Dowd Walker from office There are some of course who ere upset because a change was made Most however are quite willing to concede the propriety and the authority for making a change They do object to Hie removal of any person from a position of pay without some preliminary warning and a period of notice and they object most strenuously to what seems to be a growing official tendency here to do public business in secret fashion So much for that Something cite occurs to us today It is that the new judge of the Juvenile Court ti Frank Warner is unfairly caught in the He is taking a great deal of punishment because a groat many of us are angry with the Council and the Commissioners Two points therefore probably should bo emphasized: 1 It is represented today on good authority that Mrs Walker was not going to be re-elected whoever might be named to the office 2 While Frank Warner might have been receptive presumably was he did not make application for the post nor did he ask for the job The job sought the man Whether we feel Mrs Walker was doing A bang-up job or whether we believe a change was in order the thing is done and Frank Warner has a lough jnb on his hands In passing judgment on him we probably ought to keep those two points we mention in mind On City Financing Citizens ore looking closely at the action of the City of Durham in authorizing $280000 in general improvement bonds There Is a feeling among Durham citizens which is growing stronger and stronger that the City should keep its borrowing in these days at the absolute minimum For (hat matter there is a general sentiment in favor of exactly the same policy on the part of the County and the Slate of North Carolina Indeed all federal non-defense public woiks could well be suspended insofar as possible until the present national emergency has passed There are several reasons but the paramount points are that no government is going to get its money's worth under present conditions and that public works will be urgently needed when the emergency has passed Materials are up labor is higher delays are frequent Public works cost too much when erected in competition with defense woiks For instance that proposed Durham vocational building now in the quarter-of-a-million clouds will be builrhihle for half as much when aftermath has come When the war closes a some day must unemployment will hit the country hard as the defense machinery stops dead Then it is that public woiks can bo thrown into the breach to provide needed employment sustain public buying power and ease the terrific sttam of the transition from a war to peace footing Theicforc let Durham and Durham County and North Carolina and all the rest husband every public woiks dollar now for use then Now maybe that is exactly what Durham plans That same law we hail above limit Durham borrowing power in lime of need as well as in time of plenty What Durham proposes now to borrow takes care of essential needs of the growing city A li-ting of the purpose proves that: sewers cemetery expansion street grading and curbs and gutter Truth to tell it probably is better to borrow modestly now for such works and to save our cash reserves as they may accumulate against the day when we shall need to make extraordinary effoits to keep our people at work The City may borrow under the law' only two-thirds of the amount by which its debt was retired the previous year We eannot therefore acquire a pyramided borrowing right on a cumulative basis In other words refraining from borrowing now wilt not enable us to boroto more next year or the year ter If however we can borrow ihat wc may borrow and pile up a cash reserve we might be able to build a pretty good financial backlog against the day when the City will have to spend to keep its people eating When everybody gets on the receiving end of
