Hv Enin Nixon Croonwood BIG CHANGE.. . Although nothing formal about it for publication has yet been an nounced, the Federal enforce ment division of the N. C. De partment of Labor here in Ral eigh is divorcing itself from the State agency and is becoming an out-an-out branch of the U. S. Department of Labor. Division headquarters will be moved from Raleigh to Atlanta. North Carolina for a long while now has been the only state of the 50 charged with the administration of the Federal wage laws. We have been rath er proud of this distinction, for it showed confidence in the op eration of the State Department of Labor, one of the nation's best. Also, and more important, em ployers have been ... or have felt . . . much closer to officials charged with keeping them in line with the rapidly growing laws of the Federal Government. Approximately 20 officials now with the N. C. Department of Labor in various sections of the State administering the Federal laws are being given the choice of remaining with the State or going with Unde Sam. Virtually all of them, we understand, are going Federal. As a rule. Federal pay is better, vacations and sick leave are regarded as more abundant, and there is less chance of being shifted out of a job. The strictly Federal positions now housed in the N. C. Labor Building here—an 1890-looking thing and a disgrace to the State —will be moved to other quar ters as soon as space can be found. Mrs. Pauline Horton and Jul ian E. Parker, both veterans in the field of Federal wages, hours, etc., are expected to be the top-rung administrators in the new setup. You don't have to look far to see a State agency going nation al. The employment Security Commission could be the next to go. PEARSALL PLAN ... A lot of the members of the Legisla ture who will come traipsing back to Raleigh in September for the special session have par ticipated in two or three other specials. We generally stumble on to one about every ten years. The last one came in 1956. It was called by Gov. Luther Hod ges. Its purpose was to adopt the Pearsall Plan of pupil assign ment. It is now recognized as the bedrock for our racially segre gated school system in North Carolina. Its name was derived from the fact that Thomas Pear sall, who is being mentioned for Governor, was chairman of the special committee named to cir cumvent recent rulings of the U. S. Supreme Court. !

But heavy, heavy hangs the sword over its head. OFF-AGAIN-ON . . . Well, they say a survey has been taken . . . and that this survey shows that Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges stands a good chance to win the Democratic nomination for Governor in 1964. Ho hum. Now away out there on that big white cloud Luther Hodges says in Washington that it is all news to him ... or words to that effect. So it is likely to be off again -on -again -gone -again Finnegan from now right on into next June on the Hodges guber natorial candidacy. Our only comment on this little morsel is as follows: If it takes Luther Hodges as long to decide whether to run for Governor next year as it did for him to decide whom he wanted to succeed him in I960, then leaves will be full grown next spring before we will know the answer. It will be a long time, too, be fore as many wishers think they have the official nod: Addison Hewlett, Luther Bamhardt, Ed win Gill, John Larkins, and, fin ally, and at long last, Malcolm Seawell. Let's hope we don't have to go through that again. FLOWERS? ... With tobacco prices dragging and the entire industry fearful of the future, there is renewed interest in the Reynolds Tobacco Co. experi ments at the sprawling Avoca farm now owned by them in Northeastern North Carolina. Bertie County Farm Agent George Jennings swears that something besides tobacco . . . as we know tobacco ... is be ing grown at Avoca. Reports leaking out say the plants have small leaves, but so does Turk ish tobacco. "Flowers are being harvested", we heard recently while through Edenton. This could be an expe riment with the pollen from the peculiar plants under cultivation. One farm worker, who swore us to secrecy, said that some of the plants "have been growing for two, three years". That's like no tobacco we ever heard of in this country. Only kudzu is deader than a stalk of tobacco in mid-winter. COSTS MONEY \ . . Billy Arthur, lively writer for the award- winning Chapel Hill Weekly, reports that he heard of this man who was complain - ing bitterly of his wife always breaking things "like five's, ten's, and twenty's . . NORTHWEST . . . The center of Raleigh, population wise, used to be on New Bern Avenue, not too far from the State Capitol. We heard last week that the official center of Raleigh ... as far as its 100,000 people are concerned ... is now just a block north of St. Mary's Junior College. This is nearly a mile west— more northwest— of the old center. Raleigh has moved westward and northward in rapid fashion within the past decade. Although we sometimes ob serve cities spreading eastward and southward, this is not gener ally true in this section of the country . . . where the prevail ing winds are from the north west. KINFOLK ... An interesting sidelight on the death of Tay lorsville Attorney J. Hayden Burke (in court last week on his 95th birthday): A ranking, rock ribbed Democrat, he lived to see ... at 85 .. . his son-in-law, Ray Jennings, become secretary of GOP in N. Carolina! But they hit it off nicely and meant a ldt to each other through FDR, Harry, Ike, and JFK. Quinn Kendrick Dies Thursday Quinn J.

Chattel 8. Sneed )n Hava! Badt Great Lakes, 111. (PHTNC) — Claude R.

GARDEN T)ME (Continued from Page Z) about four days. The gaz (ethyl ene) released by the ripe apples will hasten the ripening process and remove practically all of the astringency. The apples may still be used This is the same principle employed by super-market ware houses to ripen bananas except that commercial gas is used, along with relatively high tem perature and humidity. During the ripening process, the starch in the bananas is converted into sugar. 1 might remind you, too, that you should not store apples and Irish potatoes in the same stor age compartment as the gas re leased by the ripe apples will cause premature sprouting of the potatoes. If you have bunch grapes, which have not been damaged by insect or disease pests, you may wish to bag them for protection until ripe.

It also served as a money making project foe the county council. A No. 4 manila bag is about the right size. Place the bag over ] the bunch and close as tightly as you can at the top.
