Cut-Throatin’
North Carolina Congressmen C.
B. Deane and Graham Barden
seem determined to try to keep
the Air Force from setting up a
big air base at Raleigh-Durham
airport. They cite the millions al
ready invested at two other places
and claim money would be wasted
if it were spent at Raleigh-Dur
ham.
They seem either to forget
or have not been informed of—
two things:
1. Millions already have not
been spent at Raleigh-Durham,
too.
2. If Raleigh-Durham is not se
lected, the air base will not be
placed in North Carolina, accord
ing to information from Washing
ton.
It seems the Air Force took a
look at both Laurinburg-Maxton
and Seymour Johnson and found
neither acceptable for the job.
Perserverence
Another sign that perserverance
pays off: the cornerstone of the
new Highway Building was laid
last week. Highway Commission
Chairman Henry Jordan kept
pushing architects and contractors
some folks even accused him
of getting out at night and work
ing on the building himself. Any
way, as the result of his prodding
the building is more than half
completed. Some of the slower
boys still haven’t even awarded
contracts yet they were going to
wait for cheaper prices or some
thing.
Unhappy Willis
From Washington comes word
that Willis Smith the senator
who was going to solve North Car
olina’s racial problems is un
happy and that there soon will be
a new U. S. district attorney in
Raleigh.
Conservation
Seems that Walter Damtoft of
Asheville believes in conserving
manpower. In addition to being
secretary of the Champion Paper
and Fiber Company at Canton, he
also is a member of the State Board
of Conservation and Development.
But that ain’t all, according to
a report from Washington. Seems
as though Damtoft has a job with
OPS as well. Someone should
check that last, because if it’s true
then Mr. Damtoft seems to be
in the double-office holding classi
fication and should either resign
from the C&D board or quit his
Washington job.
While on the C&D subject, some
folks expressed surprise that Gov
ernor Scott did not reappoint Eric
Rodgers to the board. The answer
to that is simple: Kerr Scott is
not the type of man to hand an
other knife to someone who seems

Odds and Ends
George Ross, director of the de
partment of Conservation and De
velopment, continues to have for
estry troubles. It wouldn’t be sur
prising if some tree-pruning isn’t
done soon . . . Will Yarborough,
Raleigh attorney who’s a cousin of
the late Governor Bickett, may be
a candidate for the Legislature
from Wake next year. His plat
form: equal but separate schools
. . . Don’t be surprised if some
thing like the “white supremacy”
campaign of 1900 blossoms forth
once again, since the Yankee
leaders of NCAAP seem determ
ined to undo all of the good work
done to advance race relationships
during the last 50 years . . . And,
it’s likely that North Carolina soon
will have a new adjutant general.
Seems as though J. Van B. Metts is
planning to retire from that post
in the not too distant future. His
replacement will likely be a man
well-known and liked by N. C.
National Guardsmen.

ony of watching guinea hens with
hidden nests by picking up the
ripe, juicy apples from where they
lay on the ground among the clover
and the bees under the tree. A lit
tle later than Early Harvest or Red
June, they have more firmness
and are or were the first
apples worth considering for dry
ing. Canning was not begun until
late apples ripened.
Those of us who had hoped the
limit had been reached in weeks
and the misses chosen as their
queens groaned anew on reading
that some girl has been named as
Miss Idaho Potato Lover Week.
Naturally, she had to pose in a
bathing suit. How else could an
Idaho Potato Lover display devo
tion—or herself?
To date I have not found any
thing so soothing for prickly heat
as laundry starch mixed with
witch hazel to form a thin paste.
Coat the affected parts thickly

it dries. It does not soil or stain,

My husband planted seeds of
the new watermelon, New Hamp
shire Midget. Two have been the
same size so long I think they
must be ripening. Each is about as
large as a medium-sized canta
loupe, grayish-green in color. This
melon is supposed to be plenty for
not more than two persons. If ours
are fair samples, the eaters will
not have the appetite for water
melon that I grew up with, when
a sister and I could eat one weigh
