Bob Scott's Resignation From Grange Post Is Political hopic By EULA N. GREENWOOD SOOTT STEP ... The real mho young Robert Scott k stepping down at master of the State Orange at its annual meet ing in Statesvilte this week is that quite a bit of the activity he has planned far himself uring the next ekght months could pull the Orange organization deeply into polities. Scett vn lake to the ' " I far gabenatartal rsadHati Rich ardsca Preyer, oppose Acrfeal ture Canmiestoner L. T. (Mac) is he will ge an cat for Preyer, poooMy ea the iwnl ef the campaign, and will leave the BaUentine matter entU a later date. In any event, be (fid the fair thing in resigning from the Grange. Organisations, including the Grange itself, are sometimes used to further a cause or can didate close to the heart of the leaden. Such activity weakens the organization. BIGGEST AND BEST . . . Those of you who missed the State Flair this year (about one fifth of the State's population saw it, breathed it, felt it, smell ed it) failed to participate in the finest thing of its kind ever held in North Carolina. We wouldn't take a thing away from the late Dr. J. S. Dorton, who laid the solid foundation of the State Fair in the bettor-than two-deoades be managed it, but the progress it has shown with Agriculture Commissioner Sal ient tne as "acting manager" lias been tremendous. This is his second year with it. Much of the credit, we sup pose, must go to Publicity Di rector Dougald Coze, former weekly newspaper editor, who seems to be right in the middle of the show tor much of the en tire year. The Fair this year was so, so big that we went, spent five hours rambling, found later we had missed an entire section of it, and proceeded to go back for e second round. It was Big, edu cational corny exciting thorough ijr integrated, and expansive However, you cwid get ? toir 4M, five-hour glimpse of Worth Carotins ?t it* be* on an outlay of less than two dollars We dM It? the second time around. WHISPERING . . . At fewt two whispers have started on the two leading gubernatorial can didates tor the Democratic Party There will be others, <5f course, but these two side-of-the- mouth statements are built-in political thunder; so M out tor them. 1. Dan Moam is the tool of trig business. His main source of in come has been from the great Champion Fiber Cs. as their chief counsel. (Leak for this from those most adapt at using such thine among the outer fringes of the Preyer following.) 3. One of the signers of a peti tion asking Presidential clemency tor JWius S aales of Greensboro, former Carolines director of the Communist Party, was Richard eon Preyer. (This li already making the rounds.) What the whisperers don't say. of course, is that an attorney's feelings are not necessarily color ed by the type of client ha rep resents. Sometimes the reverse is the case. And, on the other hand, young Scales renounced Com munism while serving a sentence and was already serving a term longer than some superiors in the party. Don't be surprised if the two whispers are accompanied by be low -the-belt cartoons: They are very, very effective in certain places. HIGHWAY SIGNS ... One of the best signs that you are a member of the State Highway Commission is for you to be ac cused of using highway location for profit for self, kin, or partner. It is one of the most dependable things going. The fact that Luther Hodges, while Governor, owned great in terest in road -conscious Howard Johnson Restaurants developed more than one whisper about him. 80, when he became Secre tary of the Department of Com merce which has as one of its (arm ha ?tekin at caah for load tstan in ? big i cutting across hi* !
