big boys in Washington, your best
bet for success is to get in touch
with Jonathan Daniels, who is one
of the President's assistants. Dan
iels rates in the National Capital,
and when he speaks, various under
ling bureaucrats "jump like a
black snake," as one state official
expressed it last week.
Recently the State Department
of Agriculture had some little dif
ficulty getting the ear of Wash
ington officials on an important
program. The matter rode along
for quite some time. Finally, Dan
iels was contacted and things start
ed popping. The boy really has
power, IP the plan is for the
PEOPLE and not for private busi
ness, and IF it is sufficiently lib
eral to suit the Daniels taste.
IELS If you ever have a
wor'hivhile project you
lit. piven attention by the
SPEAKER Governor Brough
ton received quite a little jolt last
week when Governor Kerr of Okla
homa, was made speaker for the
National Democratic Convention,
for Broughton was a hard-working
candidate for the place.
But here is the real story: Mae
Oliver, of this state, is assistant
treasurer of the National Demo
cratic Committee. She has been
running things fiscal with a rather
free hand since Dick Reynolds
has been in the navy. Mae Oliver,
as it happened, was on the speak
ers committee for the convention.
Since she is from North Carolina
and did not look with great favor
on Broughton as speaker, he was
not chosen. There is still some
dissension among the Democrats
in this state as a result of the 11U0
primary, and this corner's opinion
is that the failure of Broughton to
get the speakership honor is part
of it. More about this later.
UNSTEAD William Unstoad,
who did such a nice piece of work
for Cherry, in that recent race
(maybe you read about it) with
Dr. McDonald, will be the next
chairman of the State Democratic
Executive Committee. This has
been settled, but the news may not
come out for a few days.
VISITORS Gregg Cherry and
the other leaders in his campaign
gathered in Raleigh last Friday
night, and telephone wires hum
med through the state with their
conversations, their plans. You
will hear about them in due time.

Into the lives of all of us there
comes certain days when it seems
as though a soft curtain had been
slowly lowered and the sunshine
completely shut away from us. We
are depressed without really know
ing what is wrong and we find our
selves viewing life through smoke
colored glasses.
Then, suddenly, something hap
pens and the whole world changes
in a niinute. The curtain has dis
appeared and the sun is flooding
our hearts. We smile happily and
forget that, only a few moments
before, we were dow in the depths.
We are going to share with you
a letter that cnme to this writer
and brought so much pleasure that
we feel sure you will enjoy it as
thoroughly as we did. It is from
Sgt. Joe Shipley, son of Mrs.
Claude Shipley and the late Mr.
Claude Shipley, of Hazel wood, and
is as follows:
5th Juno, 1944.
My dear Mrs. Frazier:
What a great surprise to read
the April tilh MOl'NTAI NKEK
and your wonderful column SNAP
SHOTS, and to find an open letter
, to my good friend, Marcus Rose,
l and me.
I Surely I remember those happy
I days and what a good time we had
I at Alexander's, and what fun it
was looking forward to your visit
every morning. I remember the
incident vou recalled as if it was
yesterday. One might think that
due to the fast changes of thi
world one would forget. But no
. . .'Away back inside of our mem
ories are all those good things and
surely that is what each of the
men in the service are fighting for

ly our hearts would not be in the
battle.
One cannot imagine the heart
breaks that we see here in Italy
and the other countries I have
visited. The people dont laugh or
if they do, it is not at all like
the people at home, and that alone
has struck my imagination. And
the expression on each face! Like,
shall we say, a dog on a leash.
No, Mrs. Fraizer, there is no place
like home and no people like the
people at home.
We read of the gripes of the
civilians at home. Rationing,
strikes and other petty things like
that. They should get down on
their knees and thank the good
Lord that they live in such a
grand country as ours. But did
you know that even with all those
gripes that one has, that's what
makes America the grand country
it is. Maybe griping makes some
people happy; anyway we have
that right without fear of perse
cution. Yes, I know the people at home
are doing every thing in their
power for us and I know that
each and every one of us appreciate
it from the bottom of our hearts.
I know that with each day, a
day nearer victory and home, we
turn more and more to our mem
ories, and look forward with the
thrill of the unknown, to seeing
home and our friends.
Thank again for the lovely let
ter and, most of all, for remember
ing. As ever,
Joe.
