ERWIN And FRANCES McKUSICK Washington?By mutual consent on all sides, politics have Deen pretty well adjourned since ;he United States' went to war. [n a democracy, however, you :an never stop the political undercurrents from flowing, particularly in a State like North Carolina where people take such in ardent interest In public affairs. Two recent developments on the Tar Heel front in Washington have a touch of political significance as well as an interesting relationship to the State, Government and to the war effort in general. We refer first of all to the position of former Governor Max Gardner, in favor of salary increases for State workers at Raleigh and for school teachers. The first Gardner statement for publication in a long time, it produced widespread comment in the state and even speculation that it might be paving the way for Gardner, now practicing law here, to reenter the political arena in 1944. Later, Dr. Ralph W. McDonald, of Winston - Salem and Ohapel Hill, assistant chief of < the University Extension Divis- 1 ion came to Washington, purely | on educational business. The doctor researched quite a bit in- < to the education and war tub- ' ject and drew some conclusions that were quite optimistic as far as progress of the war effort is 1 uuuucincu. O. Max Gardner was Govern- < or of the State from 1929 to 1933, < during the tail end of the Cool- 1 idge-Hoover boom and the worst < depths of the great depression. He was a great Governor, a 1 forthright administrator who ) enforced drastic cuts In expend!- ' tufes and reogainzatlons to pro- ' tect the State's credit and keep < its Government going. * < In the 1932 governship pri- 1 mary, it was J. C. B. Ehringhaus vs. Richard T. Fountain, Ehring- < haus representing the conservative wing of the Democratic party and the so-called State 1 machine and Fountain the liberal anti-machine faction. Gardner backed Ehringhaus, and the Elizabeth City lawyer, who now makes his home in Ral- : eigh, was elected Governor. Eh- < ringhaus served from 1933 to 1 1937, carrying on with Gardner 1 policies. In the 1936 primary, it was Clyde R. Hoey of Shelby vs. Dr. McDonald, with Gardner backing Hoey. Hoey won, and it was a victory for Gardner, too. In the 1940 primary, Gardner kept out. He felt that Fountain and McDonald would have torn down what he built up so he fought them. In 1940, his administration was not an issue. Facing 1944, when North Carolina will elect a Governor- and Senator both from the Western half of the state, let's take a look at Gardner and McDonald, singly and collectively. ?Continued on Page Three Funeral Is Held In Hamburg For B.-Tr Watson, 88 Funeral services were held at Pine Creek, last Friday for Billy Tom Watson, 88 year old citizen of the Yellow Mountain section of Hamburg, and a member of one of the county's oldest families. He was a brother of Elbert Watson, Jackson county's sole 1 surviving Confederate veteran. He died at his home last Wednesday night. Interment was at Pine Creek cemetery. Mr. Watson is survived by four children, Mrs. Ruth Holland, Miss Lucy Watson, and William Watson, all of Yellow Mountain, and Elbert Watson, of Glenville; two brothers, Elbert Watson, of Glenville, and Zeb V. Watson, of Speedwell; and one sister, Mrs. Emily Henson, of Franklin. Mr. Watson's wife, the former Miss Laura Jamison, died early in July. i Coi CAROLINA, THURSDAY, SEPr Canadians Overseaf ' """ II IKE other regiments of the mo J j ?

Since sight'conversation 1 one of Lionism's primary ob jects, it is not unusual that th Club's greatest service was ren dered in this field. The follow Ing is an enumeration of the ac complishments of this work fo the year: The Club purchase 30 pairs of glasses for need children whose parents were un able to bear the expenses; hel an eye clinic with the coopera tion of the State Health Depart ment; paid hospitalization an medical treatment for two case of eye infection; and purchase clothes for a blind person in or der that she might be able t attend training school. * In addition to the blind worl the club contributed to variou other civic enterprises and wor thy causes. The most importan of these activities were: The re painting and refurnishing of room at the C. J. Harris Com munity Hospital; donation t aid in buying delivery table fc Community Hospital; donatio to USO; direct donation to Com munity Hospital for general es pense; sponsoring rat campaig by direct donation and helpin to carry out extermination pre gram; direct donation to Christ mas Cheer Fund and aidin other clubs in raising additions money for that purpose; dire< donation to Red Cross; and cc operation with Rotary Club i sponsoring speakers on interns tional subjects.
