politics, i3 racked' with worry
and is really "standing in the
need of prayer", as he so irrev
erently expressed it when leaving
for Paris conference last "week.
COMRADE? It now begins to
| look as if one of North Carolina's
| most powerful positions may go
to J. Wade Hendricks of States
Mile. Hendricks, commander of
the Fifteenth District, is now
(being pushed hard for command
jer of the North Carolina depart
ment of the American Legion for
the year 1946-47.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks
have long been prominent in Le
gion activities, and veterans be
lieve the Iredell candidate may
have a good opportunity of get
ting the post.
FOOD NOTE ? In the same
week that former President Her
beit Hoover, now in Europe
studying the food situation, de
claied that over a 100,000.000
citizens of that country are con
fionted with starvation, a large
percentage of the food-rich stu
dents of Needham Broughton
High in Raleigh went on strike
against "unbalanced" meals and
' other wrongs in the school cafe
; teria.
The irony of it is that most of
these students come from soma
of the wealthiest homes in Ra
leigh out in Hayes Barton, where
the average housewife probably
wastes enough food from her
kitchen in two days to feed a
typical European family a week.
If you really want to know
how we are wasting food in our
North Carolina communities, have
a little chat some day with your
garbage-collector. He will tell
you it is disgraceful!
SYRUP? They say that corn
whiskey in the North Carolina
and Tennessee mountains this
spring is selling for S20 to $25
per gallon. The salesmen frank
ly tell buyers that it is not "good
corn" at that, being made of
cornmeal and a little of every
thing else. Like the housewife,
the distillers aie using syrup this
year instead of sugar.
One old-line manufacturer re
marked recently that he was "al
most ashamed to say he made
it." That's the stoiy going
around, anyhow.
SCARCITY? They say that
! there will be few drinks of any
I kind by vfail ? soft drinks, beer,
i wine, or whiskey.
HANDSHAKERS. ? Negroes
have little say-so in the election
of North Carolina officials, but
once they are elected, they are as
accessible to the colored people
as anybody else. Negro students
in droves have been coming to
Raleigh this spring and they all
call on Governor R. Gregg Cherry.
! He not only receives them, but
shakes hands with each and ev
ery one of them in the old demo
cratic spirit. One day last week
he grasped and shook, more or
less vigorously, an estimated 300
proud colored hands. And in the
month of April total gubernator
ial handshakes, included both
white and colored, likely ran as
high as 3,00.
This will continue with ever
increasing tempo through May.
It has become one of the duties
of your Governor. Broughton did
it. though tire and rationing kept
I it from becoming too arduous,
and so have the other Governors.
It's an indication of something,
! but what ?
AGAIN ? Remember R. E. Sen
j telle ? If you don't, skip on to
the next item. Anyway, he's run
ning for the Legislature again
from Haywood County, where he
now practices iaw. A former
i school superintendent in Bruns
| wick County, if memory serves
| correctly, and a former legislator,
. he has extremely strong compe
1 tition this time in the person of
steady Glenn Palmer, who beat
him badly two years ago and
became ranking member of the
House Agriculture Committee.
Agriculture had no better friend
in the Legislatute in 1945 than
Palmer.
NOTES? Two of the largest
frozen food plants in the State
are now being, constructed at
North Wilkesboro and Henderson
ville ? Politicians think that the
nomination of Miss Jane Pratt,
for many years secretary to
Eighth District Congressmen, to
succeed the late W. O. Burgin is
a boost for Bill Horner ? Raleigh
expecting around 2,500 visitors
for the State Democratic Con
vention Thursday, will not be
able to find rooms for more than
half that number ? too many peo
ple living in hotels.
HUiMBER ? The current issue
of Reader's Digest has an in
teresting word on Dr. Robert
Lee Humber of Greensville, who
is opposing Congressman Herbert
Bonner in the First Congressional
District. Sheriff Victor Meekins
of Dare County refers to the
doctor as "something of a crank,"
and doubtless the sheriff has fol
lowers in this description. Dr.
Humber studied at Wake Forest,
Harvard, Oxford, and the Sor
bonne, and is a Ph. D? and there
fore won't be nominated, for
North Carolina just doesn't send
men of that ilk to Congress. But
his candidacy is interesting just
the same.
Dr. Humber has been working
for some time on his "common
wealth of nations to be known as
the Federation of the World," and
14 Legislatures, including North
Carolina's, have adopted the pain.
But Northeastern North Car
olina is mo:e interested in its
Congressmen knowing something
about the floors and ceilings of
Irish potatoes. and practical
things like that, so Bonner will
remain in Washington.
HEARD AND SEEN? Because
of veterans' strength, look for
more power from the Young
Demos. They held their first big
meeting since the beginning of
the war last week in Winston
Salem ? One thing wrong with
them is that Democrats who are
no longer young try to inject
themselves, or their messengers,
into the workings of the organi
zation. The group has the same
trouble you folks have with your
Young Men's Sunday School
Class: when does a man cease to
be young? . . . Woodrow Teague,
smait-as-a-whip WF law grad
just home from Lt. Command in
the Navy, is J. M. Broughton's
new partner. Teague will carry
on under the Broughton-Teague
banner if JMB goes north in '48

GOOD GRAZING
"An acre in soy beans will keep
10 shoates in fine condition from
the time when the plants are 15
inches high until the fall," said
county agent Dodson this week.
He was commenting on the fact
that many farmers aie now plant
ling the beans to provide grazing
for their hogs. The leavers of soy
beans make an excellent hog feed
and the plants will keep right cn
giowing while the hogs are feed
ing upon them.
