Haleigh Roundup

Special to Th? Democrat
TO CHILE . . The opinion
bete is that State Democratic
Chairman Capua Way nick will
be named ambassador to
and that the "courtesr
can** made by Senators Frank
Graham and Clyde Boey on
President Harry Truman last
Thursday afternoon was for a
peiMtt-to- person indorsement of
Waynick.
Last fall this column said W st
ruck would be appointed emis
sary to a South American coun
try. One thing is sure, Waynick
has given up any idea of opposing
Senator Clyde R. Hoey nert ye*r.

If the new Democratic chairman
comes from the western part of
the State, he may be the man to
take on Hoey.
H014K FOR EASTER . . .The
members of the Legislature may
be home by Easter. However,
some of the most important mat
ters to be considered by them
this session firmly block the
pathway to adjournment by
April 9. Schools, roads, and ap
propriations ? all splitting head
aches three months ago ? are still
there, throbbing away. Leaders
said last week they were "hope
ful" that April 9 would set them
packing, but it will take more
than hope to bring the Senate
and the House to any degree of
agreement upon any one of these
three matters.
ROADS AND SCHOOLS ... If
the Legislature and the people
approve a bond issue of $200,000,
000 for roads and another $50,
000,000 for school buildings, the
State will go from the best
fanancial position it has been in
since the Civil War to the posi
tion of being burdened with the
heaviest debt in its history. This
is a simple statement of fact. The
matter of need is not questioned.
Such an important step should
prdwbty be carried directly to
ttie people.
RACING AND LIQUOR . . .
Dog-racing and horse-racing bills
are rolling in from the seashore
resort counties, with pari-mutal
betting the controlling motive
for these bills. The search for
revenue other than taxes on the
people is the compelling reason
for this type of legislation.
Many local Liquor bills from the
towns and cities have been in
troduced. Others are on the way.
Since the General Assembly will
not permit a statewide referen
dum on alcoholic beverages,
there is only one way out: votes
of counties and cities, the coun
ties going dry and the cities, as a
rule, going wet. Again, the search
for revenue other than taxes
seems to be the main reason for

NOTES . . . Look for a vigorous
trimming of the appropriations
by the Senate Appropriations
Committee ... If this is not done,
a tremendous increase in State
taxes is inevitable in 1951, if not
before ... A return to a State
tax on land seems certain if the
State goes into the business of
buildmg schoolhouses for the
counties.
Governor Scott is not going to
insist on the passage of the mea
sure to increase the Highway
Commission membership to 30
members . . . The highway com
mission has gone on record as op
posing increasing the weight
limit for trucks, the chairman
stating that Governor Scott
agrees with this view ... At this
time it seems improbable that
the Legislature will pass the
Scott-sponsored bill to increase
the membership of the State
Utilities Commission from three
to five members.
The feeling in the faculty at
the University of North Carolina
is that the loss of Dr. Frank Gra
ham to the U. S. Senate is a blow
to liberal thought at the Univer
sity, consensus being that the
trustees will not be as tolerant
with the next president, who
ever he may bt, -as -they were
with Graham.

For Homemakers
Most refrigerators require at
least a weekly defrosting and
general cleaning. Freezers, too,
must be washed out occasionally.
To sweeten and deoaorize re
frigerators and home freezers,
clean inside ?urf aces with a bak
ing soda bolution, using about
three tables poonfuls of baking
soda to one quart of water. Or
wash them with baking soda
sprinkled on a clean cloth damp
ened with warm water. Wipe
again with cloth rinsed in clear
hot water and then dry with a
clean, dry cloth.
At the same time the refrigera
tor is cleaned, all ice trays
should also be washed and clean
ed using a similar baking soda
solution.
Bread boxes, cooky jars, or
other receptacles used for storing
food need similar care.
After washing such containers
in hot soapy water, rinse with a
baking soda solution. Finally,
rinse again with clear water and
dry" thoroughly. Bec5usev'sUcn
containers are always kept clos
ed, small bits of food may be
overlooked and become moldy.
Baking soda used as a cleanser
sweetens and keeps these pieces
of food storage equipment clean.
Black marks on dish towels
are usually caused by wiping
cooking utensils, especially alu
minum and cast iron. These
marks are very hard to remove.
Bleaches lighten them but do not
entirely remove them. They
must be rubbed very hard with
soap directly on the stain. After
as much as possible is removed
this way, wash and bleach the
towels.
? ?????
Decorative obpects in the home
are beautiful only when well
cared for. To remove the brown
stains which develop in vases or
bowls used for cut flowers or for
plants growing in water, apply
baking soda with a moistened
soft cloth or brush. Rub gently
until the stain disappears. Rlnae
in clear water. Wipe dry. A fine
soft brush, moistened in water
and dipped in baking soda, is
excellent for cleaning dainty
figurines and other ornamental
china or glass objects. Rinse with
clear water and wipe dry.
Jewelry that has become dull,
tarnished, or that needs cleaning
may be brightened by dipping in
to a baking soda solution. O*
two tablespoonfuls of baking
soda to one quart of Crater.
Rinse, dry and polish.
A new egg breaking and freez
ing plant at Lexington will pro
vide an important new market
outlet for farmers. When it
reaches normal operations, the
plant will use 1,000 to 1,200 cues
of eggs daily.
