THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1953 THE TRANSYLVANIA TIMES. BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA PAGE THREE Raleigh Round-Up Governor’s Speech making Out To Summer, Hodges Goes To Europe MIDSUMMER ... It seems ex tremely doubtful that the gover nor will be able to accept any speaking engagements before midsummer. It may be that Frank Taylor of Goldsboro, speaker of the house in the 1951 general as sembly and Governor Umstead’s contact man with the legislature this time, will remain as chief assistant to the governor’s office until his excellency can return to regular duty. TOBACCO NETWORK? . . . For mer Gov. W. Kerr Scott can be had as a regular farm commentator on the Tobacco Network for $135 per ■week, Monday through Friday Our information is that the nine- station network is now searching for a sponsor for the Scott show. NEXT SPEAKER? . . . Maybe you would like to have a word on the man who will probably be the next speaker of the house. He is iarry Moore, of Wilson. Moore is 49 years old. He came to Raleigh as representative in 1939 and has not since missed a tiession. This is his eighth con secutive term. He is a dairyman, farmer, and lawyer. He got his AB from Carolina at the age of 18, his BS degree at 20, and his law degree at 22. Although he wasn’t married until 1946, the Moore’s—his wife is the former Miss Grace Thomp son—^have three daughters and one son. DULL INDEED ... The board of conservation and development held its spring meeting in Eliza beth City in as lame duck a session as any wildlife protector could ask for. They went through the motions, but those present report it was a rather dull affair. It was no surprise that no def inite action was taken on any im portant matter. Why such a dull meeting? The answer is that the entire board has been legislated out of office as of this coming July 1. THE WINNER? ... For a long time they had been trying to un seat Cousin Wayland Spruill down in Bertie county. Last year, after a knock • down - drag-out fight, they did it. J. A. Speight was the man who finally laid it on Cousin Wayland. So what happened? Well, not to be outdone, the house made old Cuz sergeant-at-arms. He has much more influence with his long-time friends in the legisla ture than his successor. And, furthermore, Speight’s pay stopped nearly three weeks ago. Cousin Wayland’s continues as long as the legislature is in session. With all due love and respect to Wayland Spruill, it does look as if the wishes of the majority of the people of Bertie have been circumvented through the house’s giving to a defeated candidate such an influential po sition. BARGAIN? . . . Indications point to a new number one some time this summer. The big job used by Kerr Scott did a heap of getting around, so plans seem to be afoot Hauling and Moving ir CLEAN CRUSHED STONE ic TESTED CLEAN SAND ★ TESTED CONCRETE AND SHALE BLOCKS All.

The advisory budget commission, deliberately or by error, set up $5,000 in the 1954-55 fiscal year for a new gubernatorial flivver. This amount was transferred last week to 1953-54. It may be that a bargain has been spotted somewhere and they want to make an early pur chase. POLITICAL ... Most members of the legislature no doubt took a verbal kick or two at President Truman during his seven years in the White House. Doubtless some of them slipped in a quiet ballot for General Eisenhower last fall. But it is still quite a Demo cratic body. Many of them re frained from going to Salisbury to hear the president. Several were heard to do some pretty tall grumbling about the entire visit being a “political affair which will mean a lot to the Re publicans in the Piedmont sec tion of the state.” They saw it as, primarily, a move to strengthen Congressman Charles Jonas’ position. Those who went to Salisbury defended themselves by pointing out they were there to greet the president of the United States, not the bell wether of the Republican party. APPOINTMENTS ... The long er the governor waits about mak ing his appointments, the longer his list of prospects becomes, the bulkier the mail recommending each, and the more prominent and able the applicants. By May 1, he is expected to have a complete list of the appointive positions at the governor’s discre tion. There are around 300 in all, not including some juicy plums ar ranged for by this legislature. Announcements of first appoint ments should be forthcoming very soon now—with some surprises on the list. FANCY .. . A number of leg islators, obviously fed up on reg- xilar food fare in Raleigh, are driving over to nearby Garner for lunch. There, as a rule, their favorite dish is chittlins. That’s another thing Kerr Scott started around here. Nobody seemed to care much—publicly at least—for chittlins until Governor Scott participated with gusto in sever al chittlin struts. Now, to eat them is to let your folks know “I’m just as down-to- earth as you are.” You know, real common like, right down with the branch head boys. Ho hum. In last week’s State Magazine, Bill Sharpe reported that W-S Journal Sports Editor Frank Elected To Honor PAULETTE GLAZENER, 16, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul L. Glazener, of Oak Ridge, Tenn., formerly of Brevard, was one of 12 students from the junior class of 300 to be named by the faculty to the National Honor Society. She will also represent Oak Ridge high school at the National Science Fair in Washington in 1954. Miss Glazener plans a ca reer in medicine. She is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Galloway, of Rosman, and Mr. and Mrs. Davis Glazener, of Hendersonville. 19 NEW MODEIS Track Hydra-Matie and record high compression insure top performance in the iightweight fieid A GENERAL MOTORS VALUE Ktitt HtAmn mas most miiY SHinroB ntusam- vntHour MISTAKIS SJT UOBB POWIB fBOM BCGUUB DAS SAKfUll CUT MAIMTtNANCE COSTS SAVITTMC SPARE THlBBimS 228 cubic inch engine with 105 horsepower— highest In its class. Dual-Range Truck Hydra-Matic* unerringly selects the right gear ratio for all needs— automatically, 8.0 to 1 compression—highest of any gaso line truck engine—extracts more punch, faster response, from non-premium fuel. Hydra-Matic’s 3-speed range for traffic, 4-speed range for open going, cuts engine rpm to the minimum heeded for the job. Hydra-Matic’s fluid coupling prevents en gine strains, shock loading of drive line and rear axle, reducing servicing and repair needs. Better acceleration without shifting lag, outs “traffic light time” at every stop. Elimination of clutch-and-gearshift effort keeps drivers fresher, more alert to accident hazards.

Sounds like a lie, but only the atomic bomb could compare with that potion. Great shades of Lucrezia Borgia! OFF AGAIN, ETC. . . . There seems to be a story behind Senator Robert Taft’s off-again-on-again de cisions on the Salisbury visit. In side gossip has it that the Repub licans originally wanted him to ac company the president to show North Carolina gapers that all is sweetness and light now, with ood les of unity and loads of love be tween Eisenhower and Taft. You will understand their eager ness for a lot of light to descend upon the Republicans of this state when you realize they are still pret ty much at each other’s throats on matters of patronage. So, they wanted Bob Taft to be right up there with President Ike. He was reported ready to make the trip. After all, he has thousands of friends—albeit some of them rather erstwhile—in North Caroli na, he was cocked and primed. A couple of hours later the deal was suddenly called off when it was agreed that the mere presence of the two former adversaries on the platform together might serve to rekindle flames which even threaten to convert to ashes any resemblance of Republican harmo ny in North Carolina. That’s the way we heard it. If the Republicans of North Carolina continue as they are now going, their disunity may soon match that of our Democratic brethren in the state. . LATE AUGUST ... Put this down: the most popular man com ing out of this legislature is one Luther H. Hodges of Leaksville. You have heard sly remarks— and some not so sly—about this official and that one since the legislature convened in January. The entire general assembly has been attacked as slow, lazy, mes sy, having no leadership, no zing, no imagination, and so on. There has been a running battle be tween the legislature and the press on secrecy, liquor, appro priations, and taxes. Seen any criticism of Luther Hodges, your lieutenant gover nor? None. He manages to keep his nose clean and the carnation on his lapel as white as the driv en snow. He’s a pistol, brother, and no kiddin’., Smooth as silk, sincere—and ambitious. He is leaving for Europe in about two weeks, so if you want him to judge your beauty queens, speak at your hogkilling, or preside at your midsummer picnic, nothing doing. Line him up for late August, but remember: the line forms on the right. NOTICE State of North Carolina, County of Transylvania. The undersigned, having quali fied as Executor of the estate of Lela C.

Mr. Heffner explained that the Junior Achievement program, which is sponsored by the Ashe ville Rotary club, is quite success ful, and that 17 companies are now in operation. He pointed out that hundreds of boys and girls are stockholders in these companies, and they are “learning by doing.” Industries throughout Western North Carolina are sponsoring these junior companies. “The types of business operated by the J. A. companies are too nu merous to mention,” he stated. “Generally, members learn to produce and make and sell simple products in wood, plastics, chemi cals, etc.,” he continued. The speaker also explained the national set-up and said that Junior Achievement is a non-profit organ ization, supported by individuals and business organizations. He concluded by making a plea for the Rotarians to investigate the possibility of the organization of Junior Achievement in Brevard. The speaker was introduced by Gordon Sprott, and President Free man Hayes presided. For MILDNESS and FLAVOR CAMELS AGREE WITH MORE PEOPLE than any other cigarette!
