S. Senate nomination. Mrs. McCain, a longtime leader in State health and educational circles, and in the Democratic party, envisioned such leadership as essential today in Washington, where Republican cuts threaten to cripple seriously the public health program as administered through the various state depart ments. “I am intesested in all pnases of health but especially tubercu losis,” Mrs. McCain declared, it has been my privilege to ‘•I am proud to be a member of our State Tuberculosis Sanatoria board, and to have been present at the recent dedication of the Kerr Scott wing at the Eastern Sanatorium at Wilson, . which, wi1;h the P. P. McCain Memorial Building at McCain, and beds available at Gravely Sanatorium, will do much to stop the White Plague among our Negroes. We owe them .these facilities—also, we can help solve the problem best among the majority race when these others so closely as sociated with'us are also cured. “I believe that Mr. Scott will ‘as'be courageous in restoring the be 1 cuts made by the present Congress closely connected with the fine to all of our health program, but work along that line in our State I especially to that part—our free for the past 40 years.

Mr. Scott is a man who will never be deluded by McCarthyism. “He is waging a clean campaign, telling how he stands on the vari ous issues before us, and is not wasting his time or ours recount ing the possible shortcomings of other candidates. He is running on his record of service to the State, where his place is high among the fine Democratic governors we have had since the turn of the century. . . May I say that those of us in the lower echelons should follow his example, and do our best to maintain fairness and hon- Moiiutaiu Flowers Soon Will Reach Their Best Color The spring color show is ap proaching its* peak in the Great Smoky Mountains aijd along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Western North Carolina. Park Rangers say that the showy flame azalea and rhododendron will put on their best color display within the next three we^ks. In the Mount Mitchell area, flame azalea will continue to get more colorful and numerous until June 10 or thereabouts, reaching its peak in the Craggy Gardens section about the same time as the purple rhododendron. Mountain laurel is starting to bloom at some elevations and by next weekend there will be a prominent display along the Parkway above Asheville. About May 28 the laurel in this area should be at its peak. Higher in the Craggies the peak should be reached about the first week of June. For pure color display and spec tacular viewing, the purple rhodo dendron, spreading out over 600 acres of the’Craggies, puts on the best show for nature lovers and visitors to Western North Caro lina. Roan Mountain has much purple rhododendron also but does not grow so profusely as that in Craggy Gardens. Generally speaking, the three showiest flowers of Western North Carolina, which are purple rhodo dendron, flame azalea and moun tain laurel, can be seen between June 1 through June 20. esty during this campaign. It is we who, so often, in our bitter primaries, provide the ammuni tion for the Eisenhower-Demo- crats and their ilk. “I am happy to be for Mr. Scott, and feel that all those now bene- iting from his vision and leader ship will feel as I do.” Mrs. McCain’s talk was one of a series being broadcast by the “N. C. Women for Scott” commit tee composed of outstanding wom en from all parts of the State. The broadcast was carried by radio station WEEB, Southern Pines. Mrs. McCain, the widow of the late Dr. Paul P. McCain, for many years superintendent of North Carolina tuberculosis sanatoria, is dean of Flora Macdonald College, Red Springs. She maintains her residence in Southern Pines and has a home here. JmBinM KENTUCKY STRAIGHT ‘ BOURBON f WHISKEY 86 PROOF Vs QUART JAMES B. BEAM DISTILLING CO.
