AGRICULTURAL CIO A rumor
drifted into Raleigh the other day
that the CIO is preparing to spend
millions of dollars into the South
within the next five years to union
ize factories and farms in Dixie
Now that the farmer is being
forced to depend more and more
on hired, semi-skilled labor, the
CIO is expected to make its first
move toward the organization of
f arm labor in dairies . . . and then
lo hit the truck farmers, and finally
lhe orchardists and tobacco farm
ers. John L. Lewis, it is said, has
already made some attempts to do
labor organization work in this
state with his dairy union . . . with
out success . . . but you may expect
a return of this despicable busi
ness. If the CIO thinks it had trouble
with General Motors, wait until it
strikes the hard-rock individuality
of North Carolina Anglo-Saxon
,'armers.
DECIDED? Raleigh heard defi
nitely last week that Superior
Court Judge Henry Stevens of
Warsaw, has at last decided to run
lor Governor . . . and he is ex
pected to make this announcement
around July.
For a long time now a lot of
people have been doing a great deal
of wishful thinking about Judge
Stevens . . . and these wishful
thoughts have led them to say he
was going to run for Governor
"next time." They said it as far
back as 1939 . . . Since 1944, with
the Governor coming from the east
in 1948, the talk has become, well
. . . more acute.

NATURAL Unless unforeseen
developments occur, Judge Stevens
will run . .' . you can'put that down.
A certain thing has happened
which makes it a virtual certainty.
He's a "natural" for the place . . .
almost a "natural" anyway. He has
a wonderful personality, is one of
the best speakers in the nation, and
is a handsome, hail-fellow-well-met
man.
The one and only thing
against him is that as national com
mander of the American Legion
several years ago he went along
with Herbert Hoover and those
who opposed the bonus. In conven
tion, the American Legion voted
down the bonus which later came
along under Roosevelt.
LEGION But thousands of the
Legion boys back home were for
the bonus. They said they didn't
even have enough money to go to
the convention to vote for it . . .
the opposition to the bonus came
from the relatively wealthy and
conservative element, which han
dled the convention. They haven't
entirely forgotten this whether
they have forgiven or not will be
shown if Stevens runs for Gover
nor. If they won't back him if
he sees they won't he will not
run. Like it or not, only a fool
will run for State or National of
fice in the future without the sup
port of the new, all-powerful Amer
ican Legion.

NEW BERN A large history of
Bern. Switzerland, written before
America was discovered and re
produced by the city of Hern in
1939, was presented here Thurs
day to the city of Now Hern, name
sake of the Swiss capital. It was
accepted with appreciation for the
city by Mayor L. C. Laurence.
The presentation was made bv
Paul Senn, Swiss writer and pho
tographer, who is spending several
days here on an assignment for
local articles to be published in
Swiss illustrated magazines and
other periodicals.
The volume consists of 70(3 pages
of approximately quarto size, with
344 page illustration;, most of
which arc in elaborate color de
signs. Each picture contains some
where a small hear standard of
Hern.
Nine-Year Task
Originally the "Ilustrated Chron
icle" was written and illustrated by
Diebold Schilling of Spiezer, a
small town near Bern. It required
nine years from 1474 to 1483. for
him to write and paint the original
portraits for the huge book. All
the original manuscript is hand
written, before the days of univer
sal printing presses. The language
used is old German.
Bern authorities had the volume
elaborately reproduced seven years
ago. Only 501) copies of the re
production were printed, and the
copy presented to New Hern is
marked No. 2.r7. No more copies
arc now available. Senn reports.
It is perhaps the most rare and
valuable book ever seen in this
area.
Besides having a handsome heavy
cover, the volume is enclosed in a
special heavy container, beautiful
ly designed with the bear insignia
of Bern, which was adopted here
in 1896 also as New Bern's bear
insignia.
A special frontispiece, arranged
especially for the gift book to New
Bern, contains an exquisite color
airview painting of Bern by Dr.
Hans Bloesch. In English hand
written lettering is the following
manuscript message:
Message to New Bern
"The City of Berne, Switzerland,
has pleased in presenting to its
(laughter town, New Berne, North
Carolina, in the United States of
America, a reproduction of Schill
infi's old Chronicle. May this
friendly gift be proof that the two
cities, though in different countries
and separated by an ocean, are yet
attached to each other by the com
mon memory of the Sons of Berne.
j who founded themselves a new
i Home in North Carolina."
Senn says that the word "Berne."
is erroneously written with an "e"
on the end, because the page was
written by a Frenchman. The
French use the spelling, Berne, but
Hern is largely German, and prac
tically all the modern inhabitants,
like the older citizens, spell the
name of their city without a final
"e."
This parchment frontispiece is
signed officially in the handwriting
of seven city officers and the Bern
Chancellor, as follows: Dr.,K- Bart
schi, Mayor and Director of Public
Schools; Dr. E. Freimuller, Direc
tor of Public Security and Health;
Legion may be forced to divide its
vote, for Lt. Gov. I. Y. Hallentine
is also a member of I ho American
Legion.
TURMOIL Raleigh was in a
turmoil all last week over the Rey
nolds family's offer to put Camels
on a par with Chesterfields in the
matter of education. The leading
alumni of the Baptist school in
Raleigh are reportedly for the
plan to move Wake Forest College
to the sprawling, beautiful 300
acres of Reynolda in Winston-
Salem, but those against it ask:
"How can you move a spring?",
meaning of course that Wake For
est could not be Wake Forest any
where else. But with $16,000,000
to $40,000,000 (amounts mentioned
in the Reynolds gift' any type of
forest can be put almost any
place.
ADMINISTRATRIX NOTICE
Having qualified as administra
trix of the estate of Jesse J. Car
penter, deceased, late of Haywood
County, North Carolina, this is to
notify all persons having claims
against the estate of said deceased
to exhibit them to the undersigned
at Waynesville, North Carolina, on
or before the 27th day of Febru
ary, 1947, or this notice will be
pleaded in bar of their recovery.
All persons indebted to said estate
will please make immediate pay
ment. This the 27th day of February,
1946.
MRS. LOU CARPENTER.
Administratrix of the Estate
of Jesse J. Carpenter, deceased.

COMMITTEE The Wake Board
of Trustees referred the problem to
a committee composed of former
Governor J. M. Broughton (he's for
moving): R. P. Holding of Smith
field ion the fence); Judge Johnson
J. Hayes of Wilkesboro (for it);
Dr. Thurman D. Kitchin, Wake
Forest president (for it); Irving
Carlyle of Winston-Salem (you
guess); Dr. C. H. Durham of Lum
berton (probably for it); and J. E.
Allen of Warrenton (questionable).
The Education Committee of the
State Baptist Convention will in
all probability be for the idea, feel
ing it will enable the college to
render a great service in education.
Is that not the purpose?
FIGHT You will see a fight on
it when the Baptist Convention
meets in Asheville in November,
with the movers winning out . . .
However, it will require about four
years for the school to be set up.
What will become of the Wake
Forest plant then? Likely a strong
Baptist Junior College similar to
that at Mars Kill will be estab
lished. There is a good chance that Win
gate and Campbell Colleges will
be transferred to Wake Forest but
Meredith folks will fight any at
tempt to move their girls that far
away from Raleigh culture . . . ?
