Bob came to the farm to train for football just before the University opened, and he joined the other hands in threshing wheat and milking the cows. I know he is a hard worker.” Winston was bom in Oxford, the son of Judge R. W. Winston and Sopronia Homer Winston. Ha attended Homer Military School, and is a graduate of the Univers ity of North Carolina, where he was a member of the football team for four years, and captain in 1911. He was a member of the highest student honor society, the Golden Fleece. He has made his home in Ral eigh since 1909, and was a membpr of the Legislature in 1917, resign ing to volunteer for service in World War 1. He won a commis sion in Officers Training Camp at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., and served as Captain in the 31st Field Artil lery of the 81st (Wildcat) Divisi on. His service included a year overseas. He is a member of Ral eigh Post Number One of the American Legion. After the war he entered the practice of law with his father, Judge Winston, and Leon S. Brassfield. Since 1940 he has been actively engaged in large farming opera tions in Wake and Johnston Couh ties. Policy Toward Nepotism Asked by Mr. Winston for details of his stand on nepotism, the for mer commissioner of agriculture expressed himself clearly in the following letter: I am glad you asked me about the personnel situation in thf De partment of Agriculture during my terms of office as Commis sioner Here are the facts. When I took office in 1937, I found the following conditions: 6.80 f employees were physic ally or mentally unable to be on the job. 45% were related to one another. 54% were residents of Wake County and had had no previous identification with the field of agriculture. When I resigned to run for Gov ernor these conditions existed: No person within the depart ment was kin to another. Each person was on the job reg ularly and was selected for quali fications for the particular job he or she was doing. Many employees who were with the department when I took office are still with the department. They are there because of theii ability. A number of them have been promoted in recognition of their ability. If I am elected Governor, I shall strive to improve the effici ency of all state departments by revitalizing administration. I know there are places in the state gov ernment where windows should be opened and a breath of fresh air admitted. I know also that there are state employees who merit higher ratings and increased com pensation for the efficient and con scientious tasks they are perform ing. State employees who are giving value received for the taxpayer’s dollar have nothing to fear from me. Rumors that I intend to indulge in an indiscriminate orgy of re placing faithful and efficient em ployees are completely without foundation. My record as commissioner of agriculture speakg for itself in this respect. It is my desire and my inten tion to make state employment more attractive in order to attract the highest type. Mrs. Douglas Finch Hostess at Bridge Mrs. Douglas Finch entertained her Bridge Club Thursday night at her home on Arendell Ave. The house was attractively dec orated throughout with spring flowers. Three progressions of bridge were played, after which awards of high, low and floating were presented to Mrs. Howard Beck, Mrs. James Alford and Mrs. Ru ric Gill.
