"Please be so kind as to send me the following material ^r information, for which I will gladly pay upon notice to that effect: i_ap of your city showing the exact location of*all plants, and or factories, and the nature of the enterprise. See enclosed sheet for clarification." Enclosed with the letter was a pencil sketch of a typical city map which Instructed the secretary how he should plot the location of plants, railroads, oil terminals, shipyards, etc. The letter, which was from an alleged student at a Northern university, is typical of many being received from all over by chambers of commerce and some city offficials.

Department of Conservation and Development is being besieged with requests ffom chambers of commerce for plants, factories, payrolls. Secretaries of these oganizations are being driven hard, sometimes to literal nervous prostration, to "get us a bigger payroll in here."

Some cities seem willing to trade their souls for a factory, sometimes attracting a class of people which add nothing to the religious and moral fiber of the community and frequently reduco its overall integrity. Advice to people who hound the chamber of commerce secretary for more and more payroll: There are a few things more important than a payroll, Rome wasn't built in a day, and don't curse the piano player, for he's doing the best he can. REJECTEES ... In a State which is now spending $100,000,000 a year for education and in a State which has had compulsory school attendance since 1918, it is alarming that more of <rur draftees are being turned down for mental shortcomings than for bad health and physical ailments. Nevertheless, that was the situation in all recruiting offices in North Carolina last week. In World War II, this State was at the top of the list in rejections and this situation was used as a lever in getting our Good Health Program underway. Day after day last week, as county after county sent its youth to the recruiting centers, it became more apparent that, despite free education and enforced (?) school attendance, rank illiteracy still hangs like a fog over us.

This room is the office and headquarters of the State Demo-1 cratic Executive Committee; and Democratic Chairman Everett Jordan of Saxapahaw, Secretary Clifton Blue of Aberdeen, and someone yet to be named as booking agent for the speakers will use it for the fall Democratic campaign. Although the Governor in a speech last week at Rich Square was still referring in impassioned tones to the senatorial battle, he must take to the stump — if he follows custom — with our Democratic officials very soon now Administrator's notice TO CREDITORS North Carolina, Wilkes County.

In one address last week, the Governor labeled those who voted (or Smith as "suckers" and in another he pointed to the Korean War as a possible result — "expression of God's wrath," he called it — of the injection of the racial issue into the senatorial campaign. Nevertheless, he will be expected to hit the trail for Smith. Joining Scott, of course, will be party stalwarts like State Secretary Thad Ehire, Auditor Henry Bridges, Insurance Commissioner Waldo Cheek, and others who are kept in office by the Democrats. • — — Ohio became a state in 1803.
