'Face 8 THE WAYNESYILLE MOUNTAINEER (One Day Nearer Victory) THURSDAY, July 13 Hi. News and Comment From Raleigh CAPITAL LETTERS By THOMPSON GREENWOOD LOCKERS Although several communities in North Carolina are greatly interested in freezer locker plants, relatively few seem to have the drive necessary to get them established. Materials are scarce, and the Government is requiring each lo cale to present ample evidence that the plant is really wanted by the people. Signatures are required of the people who plan to use them, and cash must be on hand, too. Interest is sometimes insufficient to put the project across. Elizabeth City is the latest com munity to fail in the plan. At the present time, approximately a score of towns are trying to es tablish the plants, but 25 per cent of them are finding it tough sled ding. This, despite the fact that towns which have them say they have been a means of attracting more trade than any other project of recent years. scrupulous in the firing. DEWEY This column would ap preciate it if some good reader would send in the words to that old song which was popular 15-20 years ago and went something like this; "What do we do when we go out walking on a moonlight night in May. Oh, what do we do, what do we do, on a dew, dew, dewy day?" Will some good Republican please help us out? INFLUENCE Now that GreRt,' Cherry will be your next Governor, you likely are wanting to know who has more influence over Mr. Cherry than anybody else. Everybody around Raleigh is asking questions of this nature. Well, that man is probably Wilkins P. Horton, of Chatham County, lieutenant gover nor under Clyde R. Hoey. Mr. Horton probably knows poli tical North Carolina better than any other man, including Mr. Cherry himself. Others extremely close to Gover nor Cherry are LeRoy Martin, Lloyd Griffin, W. B. Umstead, and a half-dozen others scattered over the State. However, considering the fine race Mr. Cherry ran and the walloping he gave Dr. Ralph McDonald, you'd be surprised at how few intimates the man from Gastonia really has political in timates, that is. He isn't tied up with a lot of hangers-on, or so it looks at this stage of the game. MELONS North Carolina's 1944 watermelon crop began mov ing out of the Laurinburg area last week. When you buy them, they may be high, but the grower received only $35 a ton that's the ceiling. TOUR A group of officials from the Experiment Station and the State Department of Agricul ture will visit the new Ashe County Test Farm next week for an in spection of sites for new buildings, pastures, and so on.

The main food to be serv ed will consist of beef barbecue. Overseas 4 T-'i ' ' '-' ' I " 2- I ! BLAST Commissioner of Agri culture W. Kerr Scott has fired two blasts at milk distributors in this State, pointing out that they are not paying the farmer enough for his milk. The OPA in most sec tions olf the State now permits a distributor to pay the farmer $4.40 per hundredweight for Grade A milk, but only a handful are doing it. What with milk producers be ing forced to sell their cows and go out of the business nearly every week, Commissioner Scott thinks the big distributors you know them could and should do much better. He will speak to the Dairy Coun cil people in Winston-Salem Thurs day night, July 13, and at that time you may expect another blast. In cidentally, Ralph Scott, one of the big distributors who won't pay the ceiling is Scott's brother but that doesn't deter the Commissioner from speaking his mind on the matter. CPL. SILAS JETER Mc- ELRATH, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie McElrath, of Clyde, R.F.D. No. 1, is now serving with the armed forces overseas.

He is a graduate if the Fine's Creek high school and aefore entering the army was en gaged in farming.

Back in the pre-war days, teachers were forced to withstand a great deal of gos sip and back-biting by the long tongued enemies of the schools, but now they are finding other jobs. Boards of education who have wide awake principals or superinten dents who are finding their teach ers for them are extremely for tunate. But then, again, some folks in some school communities need to have some trouble with the hiring, and then they would not be so un- State College Hints By Ruth Current, State Home Demonstration Agent N. C. State College. Take care when canning corn. Food conservation specialists say after corn is cut from the cob, particles of corn may be left on the cutting knife until the next batch is to be cut. In warm weather the particles on the knife may sour and this can cause spoilage in the balance of the corn. Be sure to sterilize the knife before each cutting.
