(One Day Nearer Victory) THURSDAY, NOVEMBER THE WAYNESViLLE MOUNTAINEER Page 14 16. 1944 News and Comment From Raleigh .-. CAPITAL LETTERS . . By THOMPSON GREENWOOD SPEAKERS Among those sche duled to speak at the National Grange convention being held in Winston-Salem November 15-24 are Donald Nelson; Eric Johnston of the U. S- Chamber of Commerce; Chester Bowles, head of OPA; and Ed O'Neill, of the National Farm Bureau. BEAR How fast can a bear run? Well, Jim Rea, resident sup erintendent of the Tidewater Test Farm in Washington County, found out last week. He was go ing from Plymouth out to the old farm at Wenona when he saw a bear weighing around 150 pounds sauntering leisurely down the old swamp road which is known as Pungo Turnpike. It was cut out of the deep swamp many years ago, and there is a deep canal on either side of it. Rea speeded up his car and the bear struck a trot straight down the middle of the road. He didn't want to hit that cold water so hurriedly and he didn't want the car to strike him. Jim said he chased him about three-quarters of a mile, getting up to 18 miles an hour before Bruin decided he would prefer the water to the car. Bissette of Grifton, a little better, stronger recommended him to the appointers. Bissette, a big farmer and fertilizer salesman and War ren stalwart, is a good man. Latham will be recommended to Governor Cherry as a fine man for his State Board of Conservation and Development. Roy Hampton, of Plymouth, is now the member from this section of the State. He will be in the State Senate, and will resign before he goes in. Hamp ton knows North Carolina conser vationism as it now exists, but if there is a new man from the Roa noke area, Latham may be the one. Workers For Navy Department Wanted ! Elizabeth Farnum was here this week in the interest of getting workers for the Navy Department in Washington. She will be at the Asheville employment office through November 25th. Arrangements can be made for an appointment in Waynesville by writing her. OATS If you have ever done much farming, you know Fred Latham, breeder of fine corn and a long time member of the State Board of Agriculture. Mr. Latham is now 73 years of age, but he still keeps his 2,000 acre Hyde County farm top flight condition despite labor troubles. This year he has a 20-acre field of oats, but these oats are not doing well at all. Someone called Mr. Latham's attention to this last week. "Well,'' said Conservationist Latham, "I really planted them for my wild geese." The back of the Latham farm is bounded by the Pungo River. Down there last Friday afternoon, 2,000 beautiful wild geese lazed about in the water, a flock of them now and then flopping over into the Latham oat field for a good feed. MEMBER Fred Latham is not now a member of the State Board of Agriculture. He probably would be, but Lindsay Warren, who is now U. S- Comptroller liked Ivan GARDNER O. Max Gardner played a behind-the-scenes role in the Wake Forest-Meredith merger controversy at Charlotte early in the week. He it is Baid pulled some strong strings for the mer ger last week-end. If he did, chances are he was for the merger for two reasons. One, he was a merger man when he was Gover nor, bringing State, the University and Woman's College under one head; two, the Gardner-Webb Col lege, old Boiling Springs school, is still under Baptist control, and the removal of Meredith from the scene would eventually add to the stren gth and prestige of Gardner-Webb. This may seem a long-range idea. Well, it is. But Max Gardner is nothing, if not a long-run man. Smart as a horse trader's whip, too. STRIKE Wake Forest folks said after the Duke-Wake game that the Blue Devils made a lucky strike when they halted the Dea cons on their five-yard line in the early minutes of the football bat tle. If, they say, Wake had scor ed, the game would have been dif ferent. Well, mebbe so, mebbe so, but the difference was a good little school team against a good big school team. A losing team can do nothing right, while the winning outfit can do nothing wrong. That's football. It's hard to beat a lucky strike, or a lucky streak. May Warn of Disordered Kidney Action . Modern life with its hurry and wnrry. irreKular habits, improper ealinK ami drinking -lis risk of exposure and ind'r lion -throws heavy strain on the woik of I he kidneys.

BACK Well, in about six weeks now Governor Broughton will move out of the mansion and back to his old home across town. In will come Governor and Mrs. Cher ry. They will have a merry old time of it rattling around in that house of umpteen gables on Blount Street. There are around three floors of it which they won't par ticularly need. Mrs. Cherry will have to spend purtnigh all her time asweeping and adusting of that place. NO.l To Governor Cherry will go license plate No. 1; and where ever it goes, the folks will say, "Lookie, there goes Governor Cher ry." At least one State official re fused to get a low license. As Com missioner of Agriculture, Kerr Scott could have No. 15. But he won't have it, says it's silly, and his plate has just as large number as yours, maybe larger. "I don't go in for such things," says Com missioner Scott. THE COLOR IS INDIGO Ruses are red, violets are blue, I betcha a nickle old Hitler is too! Attention Tobacco Farmers!
