News and Comment From Raleigh
CAPITAL LETTERS
By
THOMPSON GREENWOOD
OUT R. 0. Self, clerk of the
Utilities Commission, has resigned
(?), just as this column predicted
he would do two weeks ago. Self
had held the job for around 25
years, had done good work, but
now he is out.
If everything runs true to form,
H. J. Rhodes, assistant Attorney
General, or Charles Flack, the
Governor's private secretary, will
succeed Self in this good ($5,000)
position.
RAIL Sooner or later that bot
tom rail will work its way to the
top. This is not only true of
fences, it is true of politics and
politicians.
Those who watch the tides of
politics ebb and flow thought they
saw a sparkle of the new order
in North Carolina when W. P.
Horton, of Pittsboro, was made
national committeeman instead of
Governor J. M. Broughton. The
next move made W. B. Umstead, of
Durham, chairman of the State
Democratic Executive Committee.
Umstead then made LeRoy Martin
secretary of the committee.
The new leaders took their time,
as a new position came along they
filled it. Nothing was said about
anything until LeRoy Martin was
named secretary, and then things
started popping, for everybody
knows that Martin and Governor
Broughton are not what one would
call "fast friends."
WRITERS Tom Bost last week
began writing items about the "new
order" for his paper, the Greens
boro Daily News. Lynn Nisbet, who
represents the North Carolina aft
ernoon papers, got out a long story
for his papers last Wednesday a

week ago. "Under the Dome", Ra
leigh News and Observer column,
began commenting on the trend. In
all last week, Bost had three articles
on the "new order."
NLbet said that Broughton is
out of it as far as North Carolina
political maneuvering is concerned
at this time. Bost remarked that
the Horton-Umstead-Martin ma
chine had replaced the Gardner-Ehringhaus-Hoey
setup.
As this column has been saying
off and on for the past four months,
there is a new day for North Car
olina government in the offing. It
all adds up to one thing sooner or
later that bottom rail gets on top
and don't forget it.
ETHE RIDGE Talk around Ra
leigh is to the effect that Bruce
Etheridge, long-time director of the
Department of Conservation and
Development, and the quiet, gray
fox of North Carolina appointee
politics, may be moved out of his
position next year. If he goes,
Bill Sharpe, director of the State
News Bureau, may go too. Oscar
Pitts, prison man, who, rumor has
it, brought out Judge Wilson War
lick against Gregg Cherry, will
likely not remain in Raleigh as a
State employee, according to re
ports. W. Z. Betts, of the division
of Purchase and Contract, may be
out of a position, too.
But nobody really knows what
will happen when Cherry moves to
Raleigh. It's all conjecture.
CONVENTION The State
chapter of the International Asso
ciation of Public Employment Ser
vices the IAPES are already
laying plans for their big conven
tion this fall, and you may expect
fireworks of a high order if some
thing now planned is adopted. They
will meet in Waynesville in Octo
ber.
R. C. Godwin, now of Raleigh.
but formerly of New Bern, is the
president of the State chapter. He
is Veterans representative in the
United States Employment Ser
vice. If you want to know any
thing about the employment plans
for your eon, sweetheart, or hus
band after the war, get in touch
with him.
MEADOWS One of the shrewd
est men in North Carolina is Leon
R. Meadows, former president of
Eastern Carolina Teachers Col
lege. Although the Pitt County
Grand Jury has returned a true
bill against him, charging the em
bezzlement of $18,636.34, he has
not yet been convicted. The trial
will be interesting. Reporters and
auditors say they have never Been
a calmer man under pressure than
L. R. Meadows. If there was not
so much evidence against him,
talking to him would satisfy any-

Parkway Right
Of Ways Taken
State Highway Commission
Obtains Privileges To Over
150 Miles On Route.
The State Highway commission
has obtained right-of-way privi
leges to more than 150 miles of the
Blue Ridge parkway route through
Western North Carolina, Chairman
Charles Ross said recently.
Construction work on the park
way was suspended shortly after
the war began but work on secur
ing right of ways has continued in
preparation for a resumption of
paving when hostilities end, Ross
said.
Approximately 250 miles of the
scenic route through Virginia,
North Carolina and Georgia are
located in this state. Under terms
of the construction program the
state obtains the right of way and
the Federal government doe? the
construction.
A policy of obtaining rights of
way from 800 to 1000 feet wide so
as to preserve natural growth and
scenic possibilities, are being con
tinued, Ross said.

SHARK That loan shark guy
we told you about two weeks ago is
now behind the bars, and so are
his assistants. It seems now that
he wasn't so much of a "loan"
shark as a "borrow" shark. He
borrowed much more money than
he loaned out, gave worthless
checks, it is alleged, and conducted
his business in a rather sloppy
manner, to say the least.

No. 1386 Aug. 24-31-Sept. 7-14
Suggests Increasing Poultry
Feed Before Hot Weather
If your layers have produced
heavily during the winter, it's Les
lie Black's guess that they're lack
ing in body weight in the spring. And
Black, who Is extension poultryman
at Rutgers university, says that to
produce at their maximum In
months to come, laying hens should
he encouraged to eat a mile more
before hot weather comes and appe-
tite wan
"Perhaps this can be brought
about merelv bv increasing the
daily scratch grain feeding." he
says. "On the other hand, it may i
mean a small amount of moist
mash, preferably at mid-day. Don't
overdo moist mash feeding, how
ever, as overfeeding usually results
in decreased daily feed consump
tion. Three to five pounds per 100
birds daily is about right.
"When moist mash is fed, it should
contain extra vitamin-rich feeding
oil, at the rate of one quart per
1,000 birds daily. If moist mash is
not fed, the oil can be mixed wun
scratch feed, a quart to 25 to 30
pounds of grain. Place this on top
of the mash hoppers just prior to
the regular night grain feeding.
"With the reappearance of green
grass, it will also pay to start clip
ping greens for the layers," Black
reminds poultrymen. "Three to five
pounds of fresh clippings per 100
birds dally will prove a welcome
addition to the ration and will sup
ply needed vitamins and minerals."
Prevent Spread of Bean
Diseases to Save Crops
Blight and anthracnose can be de
structive to beans in the garden,
causing such severe spotting of the
pods at to render the crop worth
less. Both thrive In rainy, humid
weather. The organisms causing
these diseases are carried within the
seeds, and cannot be controlled by
chemical seed treatments.
Young plants grown from affected
seed often show black or brown
sunken spots on the cotyledons, or
halves of the bean that come up,
or on the stem where the first
true leaves appear. A white, yel
low, or pinkish, sticky ooze may ap
pear on these spots. This contains
the disease organisms.
Later, anthracnose can be recog
nized by blackened dead veins
on the underside of the leaves.
Blight may show as irregular brown
ish splotches on leaves, sometimes
with yellow or reddish margins.
To control the diseases, prevent
spread of the orga: isms from dis
eased to healthy plants by wind
driven rain, splashing water, in
sects, man and other animals. From
the time the first leaves appear,
plants which exhibit the described
symptoms or whose cotyledons and
young leaves are m.jshapen and
stunted, should be destroyed. Two or
three early-diseased bean plants
lef 1& a garden can result in total
loss of the crop.
Rubber Defects
Very early in the history of
natural rubber, it was recognized
that it possessed Inherent deficien
cies which limited its usefulness.
However, during the past several
decades numerous materials have
been discovered which when com
pounded with rubber overcome or
greatly reduce its natural defects.
Outstanding among these materials
are the accelerators of vulcaniza
tion which speed up the combination
of sulphur with rubber during vul
canization, resulting in greatly im
proved products. Other materials
known as antioxidants or age re
sisters greatly retard the deteriora
tion of rubber caused by the oxygen
of the air. Among other materials
which may be cited are those which
act as softeners, nl'ers and re
inforcing agents.
. Insurance Payments
New York City with $184,620,000
in life insurance payments led the
20 leading cities in population in life
Insurance payments, followed by
Chicago and Philadelphia. Pitts
burgh led the cities in its popula
tion group with Buffalo and Boston
econd and third. Newark, Cincin
nati and Rochester were the lead
ers among cities of like population.
Syracuse, Dayton and Providence
led the 200.000 to 300.000 cities, while
Hartford, New Haven and Richmond
took honors in the 150,000 to 200.000
group. Utica, Trenton and Albany
led the 100,000 to 150,000 cities; Har
risburg, Schenectady and Bingham
ton the 75,000 to 100,000 group. Per
capita life insurance payments in
cities with more than 50,000 popu
lation average 'nearly twice the na
tional average, $38.28 to $20.23.
Time and Motion
A trained methods and timestudy
engineer studies, perhaps, a factory
workplace. He lists the shortest ele
ments Into which the job can be
divided, makes a drawing of the
workplace, equipment and material
and an inspected unit of production.
These individual elements are timed
with a stop-watch in proper se
quence a number of times and each
is carefully checked to determine
whether it may be eliminated or
simplified. Equipments and mate
rials used are checked for suit'
ability. Corrected method and ma
terials are put into use and the work
er is instructed in their operation.
These new elements are time and a
"standard" performance is estab
lished. A time and motion study
has been made.
