Raleigh Round-Up Utilities Commission Receives Attack From Governor, Says Work Load Light BY KIDD BREWER UTILITIES . . . When the Gov ernor of North Carolina makes a statement about one of his de partments — whether in praise or criticism — he shakes it to its foundations. Last week the members of the State Utilities commission — and staff — were: all shook up. This time it wasn’t caused by utilities fusses. Luther Hodges had intimated the commission has a lot of idle time on its hands, had said rath er bluntly that h three-member body could serve the public as weU as a five-member ditto. For a long time we had the impression that this particular branch of State government was overworked. In fact, we know of three men who resigned, volun tarily, from work with the State Utilities commission because of -Ihe heavy work schedule. One of them described it as a “rat race”. But Governor Hodges says oth erwise — and it must be so. FAIR . . . Until Kerr Scott be came Governor, we had only three members of the commission. He got the number increased to five. That was less than ten years ago. NOTICE TO CREDITORS The undersigned, having quali fied as Executrix of the Estate of J. B.

PERKINS Oil Company Brevard, N. C. We Give S & H Green Stampa It may be that the amount of work has decreased. But, be that* as it may, old-timers around here say the Utilities Commission has been played with by Governors, set up, torn down, name changed, and what-have-yom, more than any oth er state department. So, all in all, it seems only fair for Governor Hodges to have a go at it. Incidentally, of the three new members appointed by Gov ernor Scott — Josh James, Harry Westeott, and Ed McMahan, only Westcott remains, and Miss Myrtha Fleming, Scott’s longtime secre tary who became clerk to the Com mission, was long ago replaced. In fact and in truth, there is never a dull day in the State Util ities commission — or that is, the Corporation commission . . . until i its name was changed in 1933. TOGETHER . . . Early last fall there was some talk to the effect that three State organiza tions — the N. C. Quality Restau rant association, the N. C. Ho tel association, and the N. C. Motel association — would soon join hands so as to operate more numerically and more econom ically. East week it became apparent that at least two thirds of the distance had been traveled. All new N. C. Hotel association cards were signed: “M. M. Mel vin. secretary”. He is also sec retary of the N. C. Quality Res taurant association and for many years before going with the res taurants an official with the State Board of Health. WAGES ... At one time, the hotel people tried to maintain an office with a full-time, paid execu tive in Raleigh — but there was not enough support . . . and insu ficicnt interest unless or until a legislative matter like a minimum wage law' came along. Had it not been for the work of the N. C. Hotel Association in the 1P57 Legislature, we would likely have a State minimum wage law today. Melvin, with good legal help irom Melville Broughton — and J. C. B. Ehringhaus if he is restrain ed in the new setup — should give the hotels new strength. Also in the picture will be Ace Publicist C. A. Upchurch, Jr. NEED . . . Frankly, we can’t see the hotels and motels going to bed together — though strang er things have happened in or ganizational bedtime stories. Mrs. Maude Morrow1 heads up the Motel Association, with John Larkins as advisor and father confessor. Information we get is that the motels do not give their organization the support it deserves. In a state going after the tour ist dollar you need stronger support than have any of these organizations — and less griping and growling from members. THE SPOILER . . . Due to the tremendous importance of Forsyth County’s vote in the Fifth Con gresional District, Winston-Salem’s studious Winfield Blackwell had been given a 50-50 chance of oust ing Ralph Scott from his recently won seat in the House of Represen tatives. For many years Forsyth has hun gered for a place in Congress, but the closest they have been able to come was a kind of dog-fall with Elkin when the late Thurmond Chatham made the grade. Perhaps Blackwell was the man. But no less than the mayor of Winston-Salem himself, the Hon. Marshall Kurfees, has seen to it that Scott goes back to Washing ton. This has been accomplished by the simple expedient of making himself a candidate for the posi tion. Those in the know around the Fifth District say that populous i Forsyth will split its vote between | Llackw'ell and Kurfees and thus j enable Scott’s re-election without I difficulty.

To the growing list of legislators decid ing they want to see Raleigh only from afar next year add the names of: Tom White of Kin ston and Calvin Graves of Win ston-Salem. Their announcements last week came as a sharp surprise. White was supposed to be in a three-cornered race with Carl Venters of Jacksonville and Addison Hewlett of Wilming ton for Speaker of the House in 1959. His sudden decision not to re turn to the Legislature is expect ed to throw enough votes to Hew lett to assure him the Speaker ship place. However, the word we get is that White took no sides When he pulled out of the race for Speaker. As for Graves, he was in line for position in the 1959 State Senate second only to that of Lieutenant Governor, the presid ing officer. From one of the outstanding legalistic families of Northwest ery North Carolina, Calvin Graves had made a lot of friends among legislators and officials of State Government. He will be missed. If Archie Davis, chairman of the board of Wachovia Bank & Trust Co., conies to Raleigh to succeed Graves — and he has already announced he’s going to try it — it will follow a Forsyth pattern for the State Senate. Sen ators from there in the past 25 years have included Bob Hanes of Wachovia; Gordon Gray of Reynolds and Wachovia, etc.; Ir ving Carlyle, attorney for Wa chovia. Senator Davis will be a closer cooperator with Governor Hod ges than was Senator Graves, you can bet on that. At 47, he has had a lot of experience and should make an excellent sena tor. NOTES ... If you had read about it a year ago, you would have laughed, but now you won’t: experimental work is under-way on an electronic device to resist cr cancel the earth’s gravity — and a national magazine lists the Uni versity of North Carolina (presum ably State College unit) as one of a half-dozen outstanding schools in the nation working on the project . . . until recently it was thought there was no way to cancel it out . . . this force . . .

Of course, cheese, ice cream, and other milk products can replace part of your milk drinking. In the protein group, each per son should eat 2 or more servings of meat, fish, poultry, or eggs daily. Occasionally peas and beans may be used in place of one of these protein foods. Everyone should have 4 or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily. One vegetable should be dark green or deep yellow, and one fruit should be a citrus fruit or to mato. Most people need 4 or more serv ings of enriched breads and whole grain cereals daily. Of course, you must add other foods like fats and sweets to supply the sufficient number of calories.

You don’t have to have an or iental flying carpet to accomplish this. You might call it a decorating trick : nd the trick that does it is a scenic wallpaper. While designer-artists have sur passed any previous creations in scenics and repeat patterns with a scenic effect, the great diversity in wall papers of all types makes it easier than ever to find just what you want. That’s because there are designs to fly any background, whether traditional, provincial or j modern. Supposing your problem is a jutting protrusion or dreary st^uc <1 c tural beam. Wallpaper won’t do a | Houdini and whisk away the ugly 1 jog. But the right paper can give an optical illusion of a continuous wall. Many current papers have widely-spaced designs on light backgrounds. These designs can open-out a scramped, hemmed-in room and give the illusion of open airiness and space. In a class all by themselves are the new mural-type scenics, which so effectively set the tone to dis tinctive interiors. The good nows about scenics of all kinds is that they are so diversified as to suit even the home with little space and little money for home furnish ings. Many of this season’s scenics play up free-flowing abstract de signs as well as gay and romantic settings. March Egg Month, (Continued from Page Two) and lima beans was smaller than for 1956, yet the holdover plus the !957 pack for those vegetables adds up to ample supplies for the time being. Dried prunes are a fruit high light for March. The agriculture department reports record supplies at reasonable prices. Canned pears also are in peak supply and are ex cellent for desserts and salads, and a fine side dish for meat and poul try platters. In the State of Washington, there is a town named George.
