Keep It As Now Mild agitation now being heurd in favor of abolition of the doctoral college i- n>:t the »ir-1 clamor of the kind on record. U'hothor it will eventually die d«r\vn as the after math of the election is forgotten only time will reveal, but the country had as well keep the sv.-tem as it now rs. It is particularly to the advantage of the South that the electoral col lege be retained. Op. the face of it. there would seem good reason for doing away with the plan, but those who argue for that course overlook the consequences in pa\ :n<> the way for the (Xtpulous and congested sec tions to donvnate tho country in making decisions as to choices for president. For instance. New York normally votes between two and three million persons. Suppose a candidate were to gain one to two million majority there: that could be sufficient to off set majoritie given by the entire South combined if results were ar rived at by the popular vote route. Excluding California and possibly one or two other states, such a mar gin in \< v.' York alone could easilv offset the vote of the whole block of Far \V< <tern states. Utitle; t:doctoral • ollege system New York might cast ninety percent of its popular vote for a given can didate. vet its strength in the elec toral college would be the same lorty-live votes it would be entitled to if the popular majority were a mere 100.000. Four years ago the South was persuaded and cajoled into support ing the scheme to abandon the two thirds rule in nominating candidates for president and vice president. That was a system that had prevail ed in Democratic conventions for more than hall a century, and en abled this section. which through the years kept the party alive by ad herence to its standard, virtually to exercise a veto upon candidates it did not like. This year and four years ago it made no difference, for the South. was on the bandwagon. I'/.' had there neen a likelihood of success for a presidential aspirant disliked .itid not wanted in this sec tion. the slates ol Dixie would have beet! virtually helpless. The more we contemplate the plan ol government established by ■ he fotii diiiii fathers in the begin ning of this nation the greater our admiration for it. Somehow it seems they had the sense to peer into the infinite future, contemplate situa tions and conditions that might arise and make provision against them. Some of the ideas they had have been attacked and abandoned, and there are those who would scrap others. Vet substitutes that have been put '.w iheir place have not been put forward by those who would gain t!.eveby. and that is why they wanted them.

North Carolina was one i the minority gr>-up last year and this, and here we stick to the old. ..Id custom and observe the last Th rsday in the month. U'e eannot -ee that it matters a, •.vvat deal one way or the other whether Tiianksgiving is the third in- fourth— or even the first—Thurs day in November, or another day in some other month. There is littl» i point to making a change, however. .it whither it remain as heretofore, •ti l e fixed for some other occasion.; ;! ent-e country should act in ac cord. I! there is to be a day for national thanksgiving, there i.» both psychology and spiritual strength in unity ot thought and worship lor ".•.■hole people. It would, ot course, do no harm.I but oji the contrary could be pro ductive of g,eat good, if we had two tiianksgiving day>. Kor that matter, every day <»t the ar ought to be one of thanksgiving and praise to the Divine Father for the blessings all of us receive at his hand. In that particular respect we are a nation of, ingrates. for as a people we are: habitually too prone to accept our good fortune as of our own making, choosing to ignore a kindly Pro-| vidence for his goodness and mercy, i Since, however, only one day of' national thanksgiving is officially so proclaimed and set aside, the least we can do—and the best—would be! to get together on the time. And.' come 194!. there will be virtual; unanimity among the states in the! observance. Russia's Role Nations arrayed against totali-l tarian ambitions to rule their own I and all other parts of the world! would have little to Tear if the sum! total t>i the Hitler-Molotoff con-i leicnees in Berlin were limited to a! mete marking off on paper of areas! they desire and which each is willing . l'<>r the other to have. Such a pastime would be harmless! in itself, assuming that in the end' the conspirators are frustrated andi their unholy schemes crushed. Hitler] long ago staked off those sections of i the globe which in his fancy heI coveted and set out to acquire. No douht he would relish domination of[ the entire face of the earth, but. sensing the impossibility of such a •wi ep. found it more to his advan tage. at least for the moment, to make gestures of generosity to others whose help at the outset he would consider valuable. Hu' it the accord said to have been reached at Berlin this week wrung from Comrade Stalin the promise to stand aside while Hitler continues his inarch to the southeast, freely and unmolested. Britain and her friends and sympathizers will find it to be ;• horse of another color. And we rather suspect that is just what did happen. A>.-u rung a much the gailant resistance of tiny Greece to the armed might ol Mussolini will short ly be nullified in a potential sweep of the mightj' Nazi military machine. And without Russia's backing, or at least moral support, Turkish resis tance. however determined, would be short-lived. Thus one-two more small states will be knocked down ;is a house of cards collapses. The tvsuIt would be a grim situation in deed lor Britain. It would mean a body blow at her life line of empire to the east, and might hasten the crumbling ol her dominion unity. j The lull story of what happened j in Berlin has not been given to the, world as yet. and may not be except! ;.s it untold- in action. Russia's role may be continued inactivity, or it may be active belligerency. A l'cwj weeks at most will bring into the, open the real significance of the' .;;/:-Soviet agreement.

Nov. 15..— Only about 61, 000 white-tailed deer are to be found in North Carolina now. although there are enough natural feeding aeies to support at least 350.000 deer, or more than five times as many as the present number, many game ex perts maintain, it was pointed out today by John D. Chalk, commis sioner oi' game and inland fisheries in the Department ol' Conservation and Development. Of the 61.000 deer shown by the last game censu.-. approximately 10. 000 are to be found in Cumberk - d. Moore, Richmond. Scotland, Hoke and Robeson counties, including the herd on the Fort Bragg Military Re servation. Mr. Chalk said. Approx imately 8.000 more deer are to be found in about 20 mountain coun ties. including what is left of the Pisgah National Forest deer here. The others are scattered pretty much over the other counties in the state, with the exception that many more deer are to be found in the eastern rather than in the western portion of the state, although the mountain section provides more natural feed ing and breeding areas. Mr. Chalk pointed out. A new census of the white-tailed deer in North Carolina is just being started by the game and inland fish eries division, under the supervision of Seth Gordon. Jr.. who will also make an exhaustive research study of these deer and their habits. It is hoped that this new census will show i more than 61.000 deer in the state when it is completed, also that it will | point the way towards increasing the I number of deer from year to year.

Mark just a few of the adjectives applied to any who dare entertain •aoominable and contemptible mo tives!" .:»«..ch taci.cs would be "disreput ab.e", he cr.es aloud at anothe; point. the editor re fuses to believe that "the honorabli >• tin • common wealth' will permit the carrying out oi "such a int.hi am., neiarious pur pose." Obviously the Observer does not choose to remember the fate of Sen ator F. M. Simmons: nor the way m which former Senator Cam Morrison was ••given the works" for daring to stand up for bolter McNinch. It may be. as the Observer edi torial is captioned "Abominable and Contemptible", but retaliation is not at all uncommon in poiitic*; and your reporter still refuses to believe that such tycoons as Thurmond Chatham and Jim McNair will be rewarded for their support of Willkie by being given extended appointments to the tioard of Conservation and Develop ment whereon they now sit. in fact he will be considerably surprised if the board isn't pulled from beneath their seats. Roy L. McMillan, Raleigh lawyer lung active in American Legion af fairs. was last night formally en dorsed and put in nomination by his post for department commander. There has been no doubt for montns that McMillan was in the race and equally little that Post No. 1 is unanimously behind him; but last night's action made it "official."' The Raleigh Post is at present the largest in North Carolina, with 546 members, ana will exert much m ..li-.nce at tiie next state convention. Influence of the Fort Bragg expan sion on employment conditions is graphically illustrated in recent rs ris I'rom the North Carolina State ..p.;?;: ynient Service. During the week ended November 2. for instance, there were 3,249 placements recorded, the highest number made during any week so far this year. N What caused this? The next sen- . tence t?lls the whole story: "The Fayettex ille office reported 2,0.16 placements—63.5 per cent of the >tate total." On the first two days of Novem ber alone there were 936 placements i,n the Bragg construction projects. Of them 306 were construction labor ers, 466 were finish carpenters, 59 rough cfirpenters, 30 house painters, 16 gang foremen and 11 time keep ers. The rest were scattered among many classifications.
