Charlotte's Stickley May Get
Nod Of GOP And Lions Club
IT SVLA ft CftEENWOOD
LION ... If somo Republi
cans have thair wig. ahout it. a
Charlotte Democrat vtU con
vert the eheriaked and some
times slow-moving GOP eleph
ant into a roaring U? in the
1*54 gubernatorial ?? in
North Carolina.
Former Lions International
President is persopable and
popular John L. Stickler of
Charlotte If just the Lions and
the members of their families
vflte for Stickley, there will in
deed be a lot of Republican
roaring next year.
Lions are not aa numerous as
sparrows In North Carolina,
bat they can't be far behind.
Apd, as for your capital city,
the Raleigh Lions Club has had
o*ar 250 members for over a
decade now and is the tenth
largest lions Club in Internat
ional.
The Republican Party, left
away out on a limb by the
Jonas declination, are thrash
ing about for the "right" candi
date. It looks as if the GOP
will have at least three candi
dates making the race for Gov
ernor. That is as many as the
ambitious Democrats have right
now.
Stickley is one of the popu
lar modern-day Republicans.
He is a business man, is well
fixed financially, has little use
far the Kennedy's, is a Demo
crat, but was the main cog in
that wheel that rolled Charles
Jonas back into Congress in
the revamped Eighth District
last year. In fact, Stickley has
headed the Citizens for Jonas
Movement for Ave years.
All he lacks being a regular
Republican is changing his reg
istration. That's easy.
COUNT TEN ... We got this
aa the truth from an Army of
ficer's wife recently back home1
after a visit in Germany. Offi
cers' wives from the South don't
l$e to employ as domestics
(ferman girls who date our
colored soldiers. So, in inter
viewing them the prospective
employer asks that they count
taj ten ia English. If they #y
"|oh" for "four", they (fefl't,
g?t the . Job.
STRANG! . . . Hang around
tie Wake Forest College cam
pus for an hour or two as we
did a few days ago, and you
c?n hear almost anything Bapt
ist-wise or football-wise or Hil
debrand-wise.
Chief criticism of Coach Hil
debrand on the campus is his
pablic conversation low-rating
his material. Consensus is this
h>s had an awful effect on the
morale of the team. Neverthe
less, even those most down on
tjfe young coach admit he is an
excellent "front" man who
kaows how to put his best foot
forward . . . except on the grid
iron.
His contract has three years
tf run. Gossip at the college is
tlut a certain party cloee to
Coach Hildebrand has said the
"lousy college would have to
p^y through the nose" If the
contract is terminated. His
g?lary is said to be around
$12,000, far below average.
One of the assistant coaches
h?s been quoted as saying that
tie South Carolina victory
Sou Id have been No. 4 instead
Ne. 1. So, it is apparent that
t|ere is dissention among the
subordinate coaches. Some of
tkem say Hildebrand is no ad
ministrator, no leader, no or
ganiser, but la a good man,
knows football, is very person
able and easy to like.
A lot of the alumni apparent
ly regret the South Carolina
Win, etc., fearing this late luck
