The National Economy League has submitted to President Roosevelt a plan which it believes would balance the budget during the next fiscal year. To accomplish this it would eliminate a billion and a half of emergency spending, exert a rigid j control of the ordinary outgo and add $935,000,000 in taxes. The league's proposed budget would carry a total of $5,435,000,000. New York state hunters this year killed 7,880 deer during the hunting season as compared with 8,444 last! year. The smaller kill this year is attributed to unfavorable weather conditions.

It. A. I are those of the negroes of St. Helena Island in lieaufort County. At the present time, ten families are being rehabilitated by the Beaufort County K. K. A on that strip of land which shuts the town of Beaufort from the sea. St. Helena is historic, and oince 184>2 has been used as a laboratory for an experiment in community education. Soon after the capture of the sea Jslands off the coast of South ( arolina by northern forces, l^aura M. Towne, and Ellen Murray came to iSt. Helena, and there established Penn School now known as Penn Normal, Industrial and Agricultural School. They were followed some 30 years ago by Hossa B. Cooley and {- race Biglow House who since that time have given their entire lives in educating the negroes on the island, and in merging school and community into a common adventure by bringing the farms to the school. Miss Cooley and Miss House have done u remarkable work and their services are reflected in the educational and agricultural background that has been instilled in the negroes who once were considered as farm hands not hardly capable of being educated. Requirements of rural rehabilitation clients are that they must be thrifty, conscientious, honest, loyal and above all, have an agricultural background. ft was because needy negroes on St. Helena's island had these prerequisites that ten of them were chosen by the E. R. A. to be rehabilitated. The eagerness and willingness to become independent, and the scientific manner in which these island negroes are rehabilitating themselves, is a challenge to others in South Carolina who have been and; are now, on relief rolls. These negroes are enthusiastic in their work and above all, they are appreciative of what the government is doing for them. They are not ignorant negroes and all of them have been trained at Penn School. Their farms have1 oqen brought to their school. They have community pride, and have been trained not only in farming but in other vocational principles. St. Helena negroes cannot'be classed as "biggity" negroes who want to claim the world for their own, but for the most part, they have the simI plieity and dignity of negroes eager to learn and at the same time perfectly contented to remain on the island. The children take great pride in their schools; the farmers great pride in their farms?in fact they are taught to take a pride in everything they do. The education at Penn is not merely one of theory but as has been said, the teachers bring the farms to the school. Industrial and vocational work is taught just as farm-home management, gardening, sewing, library, and practice teaching, while the practical work for boys is divided under eleven headings: farm fields and orchard, forestry and wood supply, dairy, live stock, garden, roads and grounds, native island basketry, blacksmithing and wheel wrighting, carpentry, cobbling, harness making and upholstery, and machine repairs. "All work and no play" as the .saying goes, "makes Jack a dull boy," but community life on St. Helena's island mixes its play with its work. They have their plays, their music, their clubs, community sings, contests and the like, and then they have their spirituals which they sing while at work, worship, and at play. As a whole, they are satisfied with the life on the island plantation, and since rural rehabilitation stresses contentment in being on a farm, these people, from this standpoint, are ideal clients. Death And Big Loss In Australian Flood Melbourne, Australia, Dec. 3.?After a night of terror which many spent in trees beating off snakes swimming in surrounding waters, thousands of residents of flood devastated communities near here watched swollen rivers recede today. The unprecedented flood, gravest disaster in the state of Victoria's history, cost the lives of 40, left approximately 8,000 homeless and caused damage estimated at 1,060,000 pounds (about $5,000,000). Two thickly populated farming communities north and east of here were inundated by the swiftly rising waters. Inhabitants sought refuge on hills and rooftops as their homes and livestock were swept away in the flood.

Chiefly the Federal officers Mauled the man ami womun with Nelson when Inspector Samuel i\ Cowley of the justice department's division of investigation and Agent Herman Mollis ran them down near Harrington, 111., Tuesday and fought a terrilUy roadside battle. \ Mollis was killed outright in the light, Cowley died nine hours later and Nelson's naked body, wrapped in a dirty blanket, was found yesterday on a weed grown prairie in Niles Center, Chicago suburb. Companions of the slain officers, seeking even further vengeance in the war which - has killed nine officers, ten gangsters and one innocent civilian, spread a network of investigators over northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin and even as far north as the Minnesota twin cities. They believed the man who fought with Nelson Tuesday, loading a machine gun for the 24-year-old gunman and firing a shotgun himself, was Alvin Karpis, St. Paul gangster, accused of the kidnaping of Edward G. Bremer. The woman, they were convinced, was Nelson's 21-year-old wife, who violated probation and left two children in care of relatives to share her husband's bloody trail. ^ecause the gangsters were fleeing toward Chicago when Nelson died, the search concentrated here. Physicians said Nelson's death probably occurred about fi a. myesterday. His body was not abandoned until at least half hour later, because it was not wet by a rain which fell until 6:d0. An autopsy showed he died of internal hemorrhage in a bullet wound which coursed from front to rear of his stomach. Eight other wounds in his legs showed that both Mollis and Cowley fired with cool accuracy. Mollis was armed with a sub-machine gun and Cowley with a shotgun firing special "miniature shrappnel" shells. Sheriffs in five Illinois counties mastered hundreds of possemen in a patrol of highways today, although Federal agents indicated they believed the hunted man and woman had escaped into Chicago's maze. Inspector H. II. Clegg, who flew from Washington to direct the search for Nelson before he learned of his death, remained to hunt for Karpis and his woman companion. Federal men belidve that John Hamilton, only major member of Dillinger's once powerful gang not accounted for, may be dead. Dillinger himself said so before he escaped from the Crown Point, Ind., jail last spring with a wooden pistol. The idea was scouted then, but has gained credence as months passed without word of him. First Tagged Fish Taken From Lake West Jacocks, field agent of the federal bureau of fisheries reported yesterday morning that the first black bass containing a "sight draft" had been caught by Mrs. J. D. lawman, route No. 2, Columbia, in the cove of I>ake Murray, formed by Metz creek off Harmon's fishing camp. The biuss was one of 100 which was tagged and released in Lake Murray November 2 of this year. It was ten inches long. The tag, No. 115245, a celluloid strip aibout one inch long and about a quarter of an inch wide, was inserted in the cavity of the fish's stomach through an incision made in the stomach wall. The purpose of the tagging is to procure definite data on the rapidity of growth and ranging habits of bass. This particular fish was caught about five miles from where it had been released a month ago today. Mr. Jacocks, in his letter to Elmei Higgins, chief of the division ol scientific inquiry in Washington, D C., said, "I arp glad to learn that on< of our larger bass did survive th< 'operation' and was able to travel e considerable distance and developec an appetite." He also said that th< early catches of the tagged fish wer< not desirable due to the fact thai very little enlightening data could b< obtained at such an early date. Mrs. Lowmnn will receive a rewarc for - reporting the catch from a fun< I set up jointly by the United Statei bureau of fisheries and the stat< game department. Officials of the game departmeni urge that all catches be reported s< that a thorough. investigation may b< made through the experiment, and foi this reason it is hoped that the mark ed fish will elude the anglers for s year or more so that a better checl of their growth may be made. Th< bass caught by Mrs. Lowman ha< grown very little, if any, since tume< loose in the ISDce.?Sunday's State. ? - %- - President Hey ward is spending sev-j eral duys down in what we hope will become our "Coastal (lame Zone," beating the bushes for more chapters .ml more and better members. Consequently, the secretary is coming to bat as a pinch hitter. Following the splendid interest manifested at the statewide gathering of vice presidents and legislative committeemen ut Columbia last week, and the efforts of Kirk Trotter to completely organize his fifth district, and having a series of gatherings in the several towns of his counties, it looks like activity afield. isuch live chapters as the Florence group and their fine fish rearing pools; Clinton with a spirit that can pull 1)5 per cent attendance at meetings; Dillon with its fish work and other chapter activity; Sumter with its complete county game and forestry program and with its dynamic Mac Boykin; to say nothing of the great work being accomplished by the Piedmont group, and the awakening of K. B. Chamberlain and others down in Charleston, bring joy to stute headquarters. Which also makes the point that chapters to continue vigorous and move forward?for if they don't go forward they go backward?must huve an objective, a tangible evidence of their achievement* to tie the members to, or their chapter meetings must be so arranged and scheduled that mutters of interest" and entertainment may be had at each and every session. The chapter project is the harder of the two. A good program can be arranged with a little thought and initiative. This week one chapter found in their summer colony the country's foremost breeder of bird dogs. What would be more interesting thun a good old talk from this sportsman? We know of a certain lawyer who makes his own fine guns, importing certain parts, then hand carving, and ( assembling the whole. Wouldn't many members bo interested in making a ! pattern of their trusty old gun? How 'about a plug casting contest?even ndoors now? Would an old fashioned turkey shoot awake interest? A fish liar's night might bring forth I some tall tales. A ladies' night might appeal to some. A discussion of our i legislative program will cause much ] talk. These are n few things that we know of; you have others. Don't just let a meeting happen. Plan for it, develop it, drive it, and you will find your members attending regu: larly, bring in others. Where good fellows get together often enough ! you will soon have sports fnir weather ahead.
