Erwin and Frances McEosick "Who ever heard of a North Carolinian being elected to Con gress from Virginia? Don't be foolish, Windser. You'll just be sticking your neck out if you run." This was the advice William C. (Buck) Harris, of Raleigh, ranking Superior Court Judge in North Carolina, gave his newspaperman brother when Winder told him the Norfolk, Va., Democrats wanted him to be their candidate to fill the vacancy created by the resigna tion of Representative Colgate W. Darcen, Jr., who entered the Vir ginia gubernatorial race and sub sequently was elected and took office as governor. But Winder Harris disregarded his brother's advice, his own bet ter judgment, was persuaded to run for Congress and was elected with very little trouble. Now this dynamic, energetic, keen-minded representative from Virginia's Sec ond District is called "our extra Congressman" by the Tar Heel delegation in Congress. "After I came to Washington, I received a letter from one of my staunchest supporters in Nor folk who said she 'just wanted to remind me I was representing her district, not some place in North Carolina, " Mr. Harris said laugh ingly in an interview in his office WE SELL Gas Ranges Water Heaters Heaters (stoves) We install them and we service them Including Econotane and Essotane Metered Service Ask about gas before you buy Brading GAS Service Church Street Phone 202 at the Capitol Winder Harris was a little sur prised himself when he was drag ged from his chair of managing ed itor of the Virginian-Pilot to f seat in Congress. "You see, I'm not even a poli tician, he protested. "A newspa perman doesn't have time to be." He did have time, however, to be come one of Norfolk's foremost civic leaders. Well, Editor Harris may not be a politician, but he knows a lot about politics state, national started his career as unpaid sports editor on The Raleigh Times, his main duties being to promote a bush-leagae baseball team. At that time, however, he became in occulated with printer's ink, and this newspaper malady clung to him until 1914, when he was elect ed to Congress. Mr. Harris has served a goodly number of Tar Heel papers. Be sides The Raleigh Times, he has held executive jobs in the editorial departments of The Charlotte News, the Charlotte Observer, the United Press out of Raleigh and the old Charlotte Evening Chron icle. In Virginia he was with the Norfolk Legder-Dispatch and the Newport News ' paper. He was Washington correspondent for the old Universal Service, night wire of ,the Hearst International News Service; Universal was suspended some years ago.

Dearstyne, head of the State Col lege poultry department, and he suggests that farm flock owners keen a clean watch for "loafers" in their hen house. A laying bird will consume from 7 to IVt pounds of feed per month, and at present prices the hen must produce from 12 to 15 eggs per month to meet the feed cost alone. "Chickens normally lay more eggs during February, March and April than at any other time of the year." Prof. Dearstyne said. "At this season of the year the poul tryman makes his greatest re turns.

They are C. D. Harris, who has an insurance business in Louisville, Ky., and Gordon, who is with Westinghouse Electric in New York. In 1915, Winder Harris married a North Carolina girl, Miss Char lotte Lea Mearse, of Raleigh. They have four daughters. "My brothers tell me I'm not upholding the Harris tradition," he said. "There were eight boys in my family." Outspoken, and straight-f rom the shoulder, Winder Harris is com pletely withou affectation. He re fers to his congressional post as "my present job." And his ac tions show he is a fellow who wants to do his job well.
