BIO CHANGE — Although nothing formal about it for pub* Ucatlon has yet been announced, the Federal enforcement division of the Department of Labor here in Raleigh is divorcing itself from the State Agency and is becoming an out-and-out branch of the tf. 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 administra tion of the Federal wage laws. We have been rather proud of this distinction, for it showed confi dence in the operation 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 La bor in various sections of the state administering the Federal laws are being given the choice of remain ing with the State or going with Uncle Sam. Virtually all of them, We understand, are going Federal. As a rule, Federal pay is better, vacations and sick leave are re garded at more abundant, and there is less chance of being shif * Borrow Back AS EASY | AS " --.j © Send them back to school in style, without a worry about bills!

We gradually stumble on to one about every ten years. The last one came in 1958. It was called by Gov. Luther Hodges. Its purpose eras to adopt the Pear4 sail Plan of pupil asiagnment. It is now recognised as the bedrock for our racilly segregated school system in North Carolina. Its name was derived from the fact that Thomas Pearsall, who is being mentioned a^ Oovemor, was chairman of the special commit tee named to circumvent recent lulings of the U. 8. supreme Court, The special session of the Leg islature went right down the line t r the Pearsall Plan, varying not a coma, as we recall on constitu tional changes, etc. And. the in-? teresting thing is that the plan still stands — pretty much as laid out. But heavy heavy hangs the sword over Its head. OTF-AGAIN-ON — Well, they say a survey ha* been taken — and that thi* survey shows, that the Democratic nomination for Governor in 198*. Ho hum. Now away out there on that big white cloud Luther Hodges says in Washington that it is all news to him—or word* to that effect. 8o it is likely to be off again-on-again-gkme-again - Fin negan from now right on into next June on the Hodges gubernatorial 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 1980, then leaves will be full grown next spring be fore we will know the answer. It wiU be a long time, too, be fore ae many wishers think they have the official nod: Addison Hewlett, Luther Bamhardt, Edwin Gill, John Larkins, and, ftnaUy, and at long last .Malcom Seawell. Let’s hope we don’t have to go through that again. FLOWERS? — With tobacco prices dragging and the entire in 1 UOHTlSf of dustry fearful af the future, there 1*' renewed interest in the Reynold Tobacco Go. experiments at the sprawling Avooa farm now owped by them in Northeastern North Carolina. Bertie County Farm Agent Oa orge Jenningg swears that some thing besides tobacco—as we knon tobacco—Is being grown at Avpca Reports leaking out say the plant! have small leaves, but so do* Turkish tobacco. ‘Flowers are being havested” we heard recently while through Eden ton. This could be an exper iment with pollen from the peev liar plantg under cultivation. On< farm worker, who swore us h secrecy, said that some of’ tt« plants “have been growing for twg throe years." That’s like no tobacco we eve heard of in this country. Ont kudsu is deader than a stalk a t.

We heard last week that the of 1 fidal center of Raleigh — as far as its 100,000 people are concerned ' —is now just a block north of St. * i Mary’s Junior College. This is * nearly a mile west - more north 1 west-of the old center Raleigh has * {moved westward and northward . in rapid fashion within the past j .decode. f Although we aomtlmes observe = cities spreading eastward an£ southward, this is not generally true in thig section of the country. . . where the prevailing winds are from the northwest. KINFOLK — An interesting sidelight on the death of Taylor sville Attorney J.
