lirthday for Air Mail
The nation's SOth anniversary of the initiation of air
mail service this week cornea at an opportune time for
Carteret county. We're-entering the second week ot air
service to this section and this is a splendid opportunity
to" Dhow thccivil aeronautics board, Piedmont airline, and
local postal officials that there is tremendous potential
here for air mail and express business.

and several express shippers have voiced complaints, but
as. with all new enterprises, many little details must be
ironed out the first few weeks. Display of that seldom
found virtue, patience, is required and we're sure the
greatest benefitors in the long run will be the business
men and, individual letter writers of the county.
To speed a letter to the addressee by air costs only
a nickel. Postmaster Harold Webb, Morehead City, and
Wiley Taylor, Beaufort's postmaster, pointed out this
week that social or personal correspondence accounts for
70 per cent" of letters going by air from both postoffices.
As a matter ot' fact, postoffice statistics show that the in
dividual letter writer deserves the most credit for the
rapid growth of domestic air mail.
Because of the 30th anniversary of air mail this week,
the mayors of both Morehead City and Beaufort have is
sued proclamations requesting citizens to do their part in
this observance by making use of the county's airmail fa
cilities. Deadline for airmail at each postoffice is noon every
day including Sunday.
and tome Raleigh bosses have been
heard to complain that their steno
graphers' night work is cutting
down m their daytime efficiency
in their regular employment . , .
Could be. . . . But sine Governor
Cherry will not call a special ses
sion to increase salaries of State
employees, they must pick up
change by .helping out the -candidates
. . . Latest reports have it that
Scott and Albright are still after
Mr. B. Gregg to call that session
. . . Johnson says he feels that he
should not ask for a special i
sembly . . . since he is a member
of the Council of Mate. . . He
said a few days ago, however, that
he did suggest to Mr. R. Greg?
several months back that he call
one , . . But the Governor says ho
just cant recall this suggestion to
save his life.
Pay Up or Else . . .
- To satisfy curiosity as to whether town police in Beau
fort were really checking up on motorists parking jn the
meter area, v e violated a town ordinance by not 'drop
ping any money in the slot one day last week.
It wasn't long before one of the policemen strolled up
.with a pleasant "Pay up or else . . ." and we paid up.
So motorists who try to boat the parking meters may
as well save themselves time, perhaps embarrassment,
and, undoubtedly a fine, by parting with a penny or a
; nickel right away instead of hoping a cop won't catch up
with them. Nine chances out of 10 he will when the lit-
i tie red flag is up.
NEW TALENT The talent
Lscouls in the Johnson group report
that they have discovered latent
aptitudes in their man. Thaf
spocch . . . supposedly written by
Sunday schoolpr and Revenue
Commissioner Edwin Gill ... in
which Johnson accused Kerr Scott
of bearing false witm-ss, etc
convinced thein, they confess, that
they have a radio personality in
their midst. And so, Mr. Charlie
has been on the air rather regular
ly ever since. Statewide hookup
dates were arranged last week for
May 18, 21, 25, 28, and Johnson
sponsorship of hi league baseball
games on Raleigh's new radio sta
tion WNAO! Also, several John
son friends are expected to go on
the air in his behalf.
Thoughts for an open mind...
If you are asking, "what's the use?" it means that you are in danger
of allowing your life to become useless.
The world is largely a reflection of ourselves.
There is one war that is never over: the war with self.
'Any time is a good time to start carrying out a new idea.
Good nature is an asset: a singularly rich art. Did you ever think
of its literal meaning, its plunge to the sound core of a man? The
- "good natured" man is easy to please snd hard to sour, because
of his siyiple readiness to play any minor rt or game that is
going on.
He demands no leading rolees, no monument of permanence.
. His ready smile is the symbol of all this; it is the flag he flies when
, ever a game is begun, and adventure launched, or a return taken.
COMMONrSTS? A filling sta
tion operator who lives between
Spring Hope and Nashville Was
last week asked how he stood on
the Governor's race.
"Are any of 'em Commonists?",
he wanted to know. Told that they
were not, he replied, "Well, then
I don't care who makes the grade.
I just don't want no Commonist
running this State."

BOTTLE CAPS The Kerr
Scott followers were searching all
over last week for $1,800. With
this money they wanted to do some
effective advertising on milk bot
tie caps in several cities next week
... and on the day of the Primary
in particular. At last reports, they
could not find the cash. They had
planned to. place the campaign slo
gan "Forward with Scott" on these
bottle caps, which would be read
by the housewives on the A. M.
of May 29.

we ought ot drop in on Johnson's

The Albrights nave visited both

rTHE QUEEN Of course, the
queen of all the women who are

tics this spring is Fran Albright

NNE MONTHS SCOOLS Al
though Kerr Scott and Charles
Johnson are now pleading the
cause of teachers, R. Mavne Al
bright was first to come out for a
$2,400 starting salary for them.
We have come a long way, for it
was only five years ago . . . the'
1943 Legislature .. . . which made
provisions for the nine months
school from State aid. This helped
to raise North Carolina up the
educational ladder. The fight for
an extra month was begun by the
late Josephus Daniels, who ran a
number of fine editorials in Us Be
half in his News and Observer.
Those who opposed it U the Le
gislature would probably now be
in favor of it. It is. interesting to
delve back into the records now
and then. For instance, the Jour ;
nal for 1943 shows that only nine
House members opposed the bill
on the third and final reading.
They were Representatives Brown
of Hoke, Burns of Person, Cook of
Cumberland, Edwards of Greene,
Falls of Cleveland, Pearsall of
Nash, Richardson of Union, Tay
lor of Wayne, and Woods of Cas
well. Despite this, however, Mr.
Oscar Richardson became speaker
of the House in the next Legisla
ture, 1945, and Mr. Thomas Pear
sall became Speaker of the House
in 1947. Now they have changed
see their error, and are battling
for the teachers.
It must be remembered, too,
that if the matter had been left to
a vote of the people, it likely would
not have passed. The Legislature
is often criticized, but it frequent
ly is ahead of the people in pro
gress.
NOTES Women workers in
tha Scott and Johnson offices are
about equal now. . '. around 19 in
each when there is important mail
to get out v. . and when the stars
begin to twinkle, the night force
comes on . .,, . Frequently, this is
larger than the day crowd , . .

OFF THE CUFF It now looks
as if Wake County will go for Ken
Scott, which is a bad omen,
it weyld seem, for Wake has not
been with the winner, save J. M.
Broughton in 1940, in years. . .
Report of overheard conversation
on Fayetteville Street last week,
Mrs. Charles Johnson speaking: "I
don't care what happens, I am not
going to be bitter, resentful, or
have hard feelings toward any
body . .."
. '. . John Barnes of Clayton in
Wake County is Mayne Alorighta
manager, and a good one . . . 32
years old instructor-pilot,
heavy bombers in World War II,
1,800 hours to bis credit . . . is
in the millwork business with his
dad and .brother, liked Albright's
program, came wun mm. . . . .
"You want something to print. All
rieht. tell the folks that I said
tha Scott and Johnson are both
bums . . . just bums . . . Mayne was
for better schools. They chimed in.
He wanted to remove the sales tax
off meals served in cafes and res
taurants. Mow Scott is fn-eaching
this everywhere. Another thing,
those Johnson folks are sending
out so much mail that they receiv
ed asore returned, non-deliverable
letters this week than die actual
mall received here at Albright
headquarters . . .
. . . They sure calling Kerr Scott
"Blacktop" because he is deter
mined to "blaekstop" all school bni
