Rejuvenation Time
Mother should be thankful that the time now has came when
J can get rid of a lot of the youngsters' broken-down toys that
Live been lying in corners of. closets or under the porch.
2'fHT This Christmss, as always, Santa Claus finds he can't afford
tj give all he'd like to beys and girls in large families, and that's
where the "Junior Clauses," better known as "JCs" come in.
At 7 o'clock tonight they will travel up and down the streets
dorchead City, slopping at each house where a porch light is
rning and there pick up used toys. They will take them to
pr workshop in the recreation center on Shepard street and
wgli screwdriver, pliers, and paint and brush, transform them into
sony playthings that will delight any child's heart.
All the JCs request is that the toys, small ones especially, be
ecd in a carton so that they can handle them quickly and easily.
If more toys are found about the house after the tour of the
vn tonight, a phone ciill to the Morehead City fire department
Drir,8 someone for the toys. The firemen and JCs are co-
oarraling m the project.
The same is true in Beaufort. Firemen there will c?ll for
pgft'tliings that have seen better days and repair them for better
dSs to come.

If never another Coastal Festival" is held, those who remem-
fondly the water pnrude needn't mourn. In the dark of the
fning those hours between the setting of the moon and the
Sng of the sun there is a water parade to shame all others,
menhaden bnals going out to sea.
Viewed from Beaufort waterfront, it's a sight to cherish.
From Morehead City eastward beyond sight, the boats move ma-'-"""jektieally

ESJsing and "operating an illegal liquor ptill and resisting arrest,"
laded guilty. He was fined the tremendous sum of $!iO and

senator Ball thinks the press
helped beat him despite the fact
that he js a newspaperman him

WATCHING AND WAITING
Two men who played prominent
roles in the summer's political
battles are sitting on the bench
watching and waiting.
Jim Caldwell, the prominent
American Legionnaire of Concord
(who went with Kerr Scott as an
associate manager when most of
the Democratic leaders were even
afraid to walk down the street with
him), told this column last week
that he is "waiting." There was a

tion which might well beconte
slightly rambunctious at times.
Bloys Rritt, elephantine news
paperman and all-around nlugger
for Henderson and Fred Roysler,
knows now that he will not be
Senator ,1. M. Broughton's first
line assistant, since this position
is going to Charlie Flr.ck, Ruther
ford County native who is now
clerk of the Utilities Conur.isiinn.
A very able fellow, Flack was sec
retary to Congressman Bulwinkle,
then secretary to Gov. Broughton.
He was a strong Broughton and
Johnson man and staved with them
right down to the last vote.-1
Broughton could hardly have
found a better man for adminis
trative assistant. j
Pui'irjg the final weeks of his
campaign Mr. Broughton, feeling)
that Manager Jeff Johnson had too
much on his shoulders, employed i
Britt as publicity man. Fred Roys-J
ter, prominent Vance County legis f
lator and tobacconist (who will bet
Governor some time if he lives)
engineered the deal. Britt, who
had been' a Raleieh Associated
Press writer for four years, played
no small part In Broughton's no
mination. He resigned ns secretary!
of the Henderson Chamber ol'
Commerce to take the job. This
summer and fall he was tobaccc
sales supervisor for Henderson.
after 15 minutes' of almost-constant
staring. "Pardon me, but you
have a striking resemblance to
Senator Ball of Minnesota." '
"Well, as a matter of fact, that's
exactly who I am," he replied in a
.deep bass voice. He looked young
er than his pictures, but there was
no mistaking those deep-set eyes,
the jutting jaws, firm chin and
graying hair. First off, he wanted
to know what kind of man "Brow
ton" is. "Is he conservative or is
he liberal?"
That was hard question, he was
told. Senator Ball was informed
that "Broughton is inclined to be
rather liberal, and may be very
liberal now that he sees the way
things arc swinging. He's pretty
agile."
In Ball's opinion, too many men
in public life are sailing under
liberal colors in order to get the
labor vote. He said that Hubert
Humphrey, the 37-year-old Min
neapolis mayor who beat him by
2uu,ouu votes, "support every
pressure group going."
Senator Ball, although a Repub
lican, supported FDR in 1944. As
he began on his dessert he remark
ed that "you folks had a real man
in J. W. Bailey. He had guts. He
said whai he thought, whether it
was the popular thing or not." As
for Bob Reynolds, he is "strictly
a screwball," according to Ball. But
he likes "Clyde" (Senator Hoey).
Ball, who is described by Time,
the magazine, as "gloomy," "earn
est," and "a leader of the Senate's
get-tough-with labor wing," is only
43 years old. He doesn't see how
the South can have any love for
Senator Humphrey, whose speech

National Convention resulted in

at 1:13. Big, tweedy, ray-faaed,

room with his wife. His face look

PERSONNEL DIRECTOR ; No
longer will R. G. Deyton, assistant
director of the budget, be person
nel director of State employees.
Henry Hilton is expected .to-. be
given this position in fact may
have it by the time you read this.
He is fortyish, an Employment Se1
curity Commission employee (vet
erans branch), a brother of Jim
my Hilton, dean of the School of
Agriculture at State College end
director of the Experiment Sta
tion. He is a native of Catawba
County, married Louise Marti .1,'
daughter of Drylcader L. A. Mar
tin of Lexington, who will be in the
Legislature next year.
For years now Kerr Scott Jias
maintained that the assistant bud
get director has plenty to do in
handling the State's finances, and
should not have to be bothered
with employees' raises, hiring,
firing, etc.
As this written, Gov. R. Gregg
Cherry has agreed to the move
and will permit the new director
to take over during his administra
tion. Note: As of Saturday night at
8 o'clock it seemed certain Hilton
would get the position. No definite
salary was mentioned.
CLERK Mrs. Annie Cooper
has been principal clerk of the
House for two terms. Since this
year she helped in the Johnson,
for Governor offices, it is thought
that she might not hold her same
position another term. Scott cer
tainly would not favor her, which
is not necessarily a guarantee she
