.lilt on Resigns Personnel Job
Henry C. Hilton, personnel di
et tor in charge of the State
Personnel Department since it
■eaa set up as the result of an
act passed by the 1949 General
Assembly, and formerly with this
’ agency for several years, has re
j signed to accept a position in the
Sales Department of a furniture
4ant in Lexington — name not
yet disclosed. He will enter upon
nis new duties January 1.
Mr Hilton was not actually
appointed State personnel direc
tor until after the 1949 General
Assembly created the State Per
sonnel Department and named a
oniniission, in the first half of
1949, but Governor Vrott b»<l
placed him in the Budget Bureau
late in 1918 to make a study of
» the personnel, setup and make
, Ians for divorcing it from the
Budget Bureau. He has had a
staff of 18 people studying and
i ©classifying all State employees,
a task which is nearing comple
tion. His handling of a difficult
task has brought forth praise
from many sources. He feels, he
said, that he could not afford to
turn down the attractive offer.
Most of Mr. Hilton’s develop
ment came while he was with
this agency. He attended Ruther
ford Junior College and gradu
ated from Berea (Ky.) College in
19,14. He was with th$ Farm
ers Co-o|H-rative Exchange in
Charlotte, Kinston, Greenville and
Salisbury for some three years
and joined the ES Division as
interviewer in Winston-Salem in
the late summer of 1917, then
was named manager in Lexing
ton. He came to the State office
as occupational analyst and a
year later was made field super
visor in the Piedmont area. After
leave for Navy service for about
four years, he returned and be
came Assistant State VER, re
maining in that position until
Governor Scott called him.
Hilton 1* considered “one of
our boys” and his success is
pleasing to all of his friends and \
former co-workers He carried |
two of them, Murray G. Hill and
Mrs Elizabeth Johnson, with him
into the State Personnel Dept.

But also the many Questions that
we put were answered with the
utmost frankness our observa
tions and suggestions were in
vited, they did not even wait
for our indiscreet questions to
show us ‘the bad- side of
things,’ the ‘reverse of glory,’
the sorbid, miserable, anachron
istic realities which still throw a
heavy shadow—although clearing
a little each day—on stupendous
realizations. If this spontaneous
sincerity, this desire to impose
no value judgment, this anxiety
for objective information, would
appear as a kind of indirect prop
aganda, let us agree that at least
it has the merit of not insulting
free minds."

FREEDOM BEGINS AT HOME
Among the best things about North Car
olina is that it is a grand place to work
and live and play. One of the reasons for
this fact is that North Carolina affords
those personal freedoms that go with
living in rural and uncongested urban
areas...we are not pushed around by
crowds and time tables. Generally speak*
ing we are a tolerant people, respectful
of the rights of others; law abiding and
peace loving. u
These characteristics probably explain
why most of us prefer the present legal
control of beer sales—after nearly two
years, it still is working well, protecting
. your rights and remaining the only alter*
native to lawlessness and bootlegging.
