Turpentine Drippings Complied By Bill Sharpe FAT IN WASHINGTON (The Pathfinder) The GAO's boss straight-talk ing Comptroller General Lindsay C. Warren, 61, former eight-term, t year.: ), Democratic Congress man irom North Carolina, told P.dhfinder: “There is fat all over Washing •“"-.cry., ichwd* osn’t be cut provid ing there is the will and courage to do it. Too many agencies have empire-builders Such blunt talk has involved Warren, appointed in 1940 foi 15 years, in controversies He ex posed "shocking scandals" in mili tary spending during World War II. hammered at Government waste. Always his charges were sustained. In this defense period he believes Uncle Sam should get j full measure for every cent Un der Warren, the GAO has collect ed more than S740 million illegal ly or improperly paid out and presumed lost forewr. His sal ary: $17,500. IIFRI IS AN ANSWER >Greensboro News) Those states with strong high way laws and enforcement have the best traffic fatality records, the Richmond Times-Dispatch finds after studying the national statistics Take a state like Pennsylvania, for instance Up there they re voke licenses for speeding offens es. Result: They have fewer speeders and fewer highway deaths On the other hand Alabama has a “reasonable" speed limit, which means anything up to 70 or 75 and the lav prohibits a jail sentence in speeding cases. Result: Ala bania has the worst traffic fatali ty record in the nation. The average penalty for con victed speeders in Arizona is a $10 fine. Result: Arizona is (fourth worst in the nation Over and over again the statis tics show that strong laws and [strong enforcement mean fewer highway deaths This sounds so | simple as to he almost trite: vet North Carolina and 17 other ! states, including Virginia, stand in the highest fatality bracket. SECTIONALISM STILL LIVES (Henderson Dispatch) For our part, we don't cv,cn know Basil Whitener. the North Carolinian who was a candidate for national president of the Young Democrat!! Clubs at St. I s id is last week, an J. who was son of Illinois Along with other Tar Heels, however, we would liked to see him win the distinc tion he sought Friends and supporters of Whitener came home to tell a story of how great a part sheer sectionalism played in the cam paign fo trhe office There was. they said, even a carryover of the old Dixiocrat fight of 1948, al though North Carolina was just as loyal to the party in that election as was Illinois, home state of the winner, or any other State So it would seem that the Civil War is not entirely over yet, more than eighty-five years after Lee surrendered to Grant Maybe, after all, there is significance in recurring prominence of the Stars and Bars, and maybe we’d better get out still more of them. Accounts, related by Lynn Nis bet.in his article in the Daily Dis patch, enumerated all sorts of shenanigans m the politicking that went on at St Louis, with the South the butt end of the jokes and the serious business alike But was that too surprising’' Was ",'t it Hie counterpart of what ' happens at national conventions I >1 both political parties when sup | porters of different candidates i adopt, the policy that all is fair in I politics the same as in love and j war?

THK IXDISPENSABLE (Smithfiold Herald) J remember that during the war, when steel wool was unob tainable. 1 resorted to fine sand paper which did a tolerable job. This reminds me that before the days of so many cleaning fluids, washmgpowders, and Old Dutch Cleanser, housekeepers knew the efficacy of sand. I remember one woman of my childhood days who scrubbed her wooden floors al most to bread tray whiteness with ; clean white sand, homemade iye soap and a cornshuck scouring mop. But I am not saying that it did not require downright hard labor. If Owen Meredith, who wrote I the poem about living without friends and living without books but not being able to live with- j out cooks, had known about steel I wool, he might have added two more lines We may live without gadgets! that push and pull But let civilized woman keep on hand her steel wool.

Roanoke Lockers, Inc. //arc I mi I rit‘d (.oloniul Ihim.s — 7 /ley re Ih’licioits WHERE THEY DIFFER (Roland Beasley, Monroe Journal) The rank and file of both par ties are very much alike in their political views and the radica and conservative element abounc in both. The parties are in iftcl made up on local issues, person alities and historical backgrounds The webb of which they are wov en cannot be untangled. . . . ANYWAY (Rocky Mount Telegram) ! And there is a legend handed I down in the Enfield area which ' was to the effect that an old sage | in the community insisted that nc 1 railroad was coming to the town, ] "It ain’ 'er coming through En I field." When the track crew laid i the tracks, he still insisted there i would never be a train, and when ; -the train finally puffed into town, I and ail who wished were invited j to climb aboard a flat car for a I tree ride, he was among those j who climbed aboard and as the j train was pulling off, a friend I asked about all that he had said in doubt and he turned and re plied, "Well she ‘ainter never go in’ to stop.” STRONGER PAPER (Rockingham Post-Dispatch) The same paper bag which two years ago held $5 worth of gro ceries is now capable of holding $10 worth. Or is it that the paper mater ial is tougher? HOW COME OUTLAW? (Pinehurst Outlook) Members of the North Carolina Motor Carriers' Association, who met in convention in Pinehurst this week, are frequently referred to as "Highwaymen." Which may account for the fact that they elected J. T. Outlaw, of Raleigh, executive secretary. SOMETHING SOLID (Bernadette Hoyle, Smithfield Herald) Did you hear the story abou' Gordon Gray, president of th< University of North Carolina? It seems that he ate a meal at a restaurant and asked the girl ai the cash register if she’d cash a check. So President Gray rum i maged around in his pockets and | brought forth an impressive look I ing pass to the White House. ! He handed it to the cashier j who took it and looked it over cri tically i Then she handed it back to him land, said, “Say. mister, haven’! j you got a driver’s license’’” ALL’S AWRY (Pinekurst Outlook) But then, this is a pretty topsy turvy community anyway. The Manly post office is manned by a woman. GAIN, NOT LOSS (Greensboro News) For those who are selling all these Stars and Bars flags, pen nants and stickers the Confeder acy isn’t a lost cause. | -* I Polio ISot Expected To Be So Severe In 1951 I -* j The Public Health Service pre dicts that this year will be much milder for polio than 1950, basing its prediction upon reports of a continued nation-wide decline in cases of the disease.
