affect their attractive appearance.
The scientists found that the long
er bruised peas were held before
freezing, the greater the change in
flavor. Chilling helps save the fresh
flavor by slowing up this change.
As a result, some processors have
moved their viners near freezing
plants so that peas can be frozen
promptly after vining. Others use
rapid cooiing by crushed ice or by
Hydro-cooling to help keep the
fresh quality.
Peas from local or home gardens
are better in flavor if they can be
saved from long standing before
coking or kept cold, if they must j
wait.

DELAY . One of the biggest
and finest schoois of its kind in i
the worid is N. C. State Coiiege. It j
has students enroiied there this}
spring from aii parts of the globe.
Many people other than North Car
olinians place it on par with the
famous Massachusetts Institute cf j
Technology.
It reaches now into widely vary
ing fields of endeavor. That's why
the committee selected to choose a
successor to Chancellor J. W. Har
rellson has requested more time to
think over the matter. A man is
needed to carry forward the va
rious activities.
Two weeks ago we heard that he
top man at that time was none i
other than L. Y. Ballentine. North )
Carolina's popular commissioner cf
agriculture.
A decision will be reached bv
June 1. Despite its interest in manv
technical subjects, the number on?
pursuit of State is still agriculture.
FOOTBALL . . Nothing much j
is being said about it. but State
College also faces a decision on the
future of football. There are three !
schools of thought on the road
which State should take. There are
scattered alumni who would not
weep if the school should get off
the gridiron entirely, except for
intramural games. A second group
takes the position that a school
should not hope to be prominent in
more than one sport; and this
group wants basketball to be con
tinued — as the big boy — and this
is certain to be the case for three
years to come. No school in the
South had a finer freshman five
last winter.
But the third school of thought
wants basketball kept as it is. with
much more emphasis placed on !
football than has been the case for
the past decade. These thinkers
seem to be winning out. From what
we have been able to dig up with
in the past few days, it is only a
matter of time until State becomes
as well known for its football team
as for the fine basketball coaches,
and engineers, and scientists, and
county agents it has been sending j
aut with increased regularity for
;he past ten years.
THE APPOINTMENTS . . . ]
With 15 highway divisions. North
Carolina is getting set lor a long
haul on Improved highways. This
applies particularly to the . big pri
mary roads which carry heavy com
mercial traffic and tourists by the
thousands each summer.
New Highway Chairman Sandy
Graham gave the hint shortly af
ter his appointment last week when
he said that maintenance of the
recently built farm-to-ma'rket black
tops and the primary system wiil
receive immediate attention. No
30dy kiiows — and this is what
scares the new highway commis
sioners—just how much money it's
going to take each year to keep the
Scott roads in tip-top qonditibn.
Some of them are already breaking
down. Contractors who had no part
in the construction of a large per
centage of the rural roads are al
ready coming up with the 1-told
you-so's. A long look will be taken
at Scott roads.
Governor William B Umstead is
receiving praise in all quarters for
his highway appointments. By and
targe, they come from counties
which have not figured prominent
ty in the highway appointive realm
They know the needs in their re
spective areas.
It is apparent that the Governor
disregarded in some instances
heavy political endorsements and
selected men who were for him
from the "little" counties in order
to reach down into the grass roots
for the basic needs of agriculture
and industry.
By naming Sandy Graham, the
Governor made happy some of his
most loyal friends. Mrs. Graham
didn't want her husband to take
on the back-breaking job which he
handled so capably in 1944-48 He
had a good, solid law practice He
does not need the job. The two
main factors which sent him back
to his old position are that he has
a good law partner in Dumon Esk
ridge — a Yadkin-Surry native
who can handle the business—and
he wants to get on with some ideas
which he had in 1944-48 w.ten war
and post-war prevented his getting
going.
Consensus here is that Governor
Umstead will not make a finer ap
pointment. Sandy Graham won't
have 900 million dollars with which
to operate, as did his predecessor,
but he is expected to do as much
proportionately to our primary
system as the man he succeeded
did to the secondary roads.
BANKING . . . You haven't been
reading much about it unitss you
iive in the areas involved, but new
banks are springing up every few
days now. Oniy recently two new
banks were chartered for Ahoskie.
Governor Umstead is putting new
Mood into the banking Commission
This commission has been kicked
around quite considerabiy within
the past two years by charges that
it was going out of its way to pre
vent the establishment of new
banks. It has been compared at
times to some licensing boards
which are frequently accused of
setting up almost insurmountable!
obstacles for newcomers into the
field.
If memory serves correctly, th? ^
Banking Commission until about 20
years ago was a part of the old
Corporation Commission, which *
now the much discussed State Util
ities Commission. The depression
made it seem necessary for a sep
arate commission to work with tite
banks in keeping them in goad
condition, strong financially, etr
Thus it was that the State Bank- ]
ing Commission was established.
In reappointing A. H. Mooney -
ham of Forest City to the commis
sion. Governor Umstead not only
retained a man just as able as some
of the giants appointed, but re
warded a tireless w orker in the ^
Democratic Party.
But keep an eye on the Bank-j
ing Commission, for it is in a nood!
position to make some real news.
And. if economic conditions remain
stable, you are likely to see more
new banks and branches in the
next two years than in the past
five.
