Governor Cherry is not pearly so good at being pom nou an'i' ostentatious as the man jjU ;;'ceeding, and doesn't care 8; in in-i. fr the manner royal. .a;. it is said, he figured a man fa!; be inaugurated Governor in orth i arolina only one time in hi life, so he would take it in strjje. allien he did, although at times lie had some little difficulties wl:h his stove pipe hat and an overc-a that just refused to stay in plaee Ic came unbuttoned 1,000 tin.,es during inauguration day. So Govern. 'i- Cherry waved with one han.l, nuantime buttoning that coat with the other. STOVE -When the Broughtons moved into the Mansion on Blount Street, they sold their stove and re frigerator, and they really had a time nuiainiNB mese ilciuo uku thpv prepared to return to their old Raleigh home. The latest report has it th.it they got a stove about Christmas, but no definite infor mation is available regarding "a re- frieerator. Well,, they should be able to get along without one until March. They can just set their stuff on the back porch- and hope it doesn't freeze. ture makes its fecisions during the next two months. QUORUM When the State Board of Agriculture met recent ly, it found a quorum was not pres ent, so could not transact business. A messenger was rushed down to Lt. Gov. L. Y. Ballentine's room at the Sir Walter. He found Bal lentine writing his resignation from the Board. He stopptd it, came to the meeting, and the State agricultural business was trans acted with only one hour's delay. LETTER While walking up Fayetteville Street to the meeting, Governor Ballentine dictated a let ter to his wife: "Tell him 1 wisli him well, that he is the best man for the place, etc., ect." Mrs. Ballentine took mental nntos and probably improved on the let ter as she went along. Lg... SPEECH Governor Cherry's speech was long, requiring three big drinks of water. Most people seemed to think he would not touch the liquor problem, rather letting it slide as many of his more recent predecessors have dne. But he hit it full in the face However, after saying, "One of the recurring problems confronting the Legisla ture is what to do with intoxicat ing liquors," he reached for a drink of water, while 5,000 people in Memorial Auditorium and out on the grounds waited impatiently. INDEX If you want to know how your present Governor stands on all problems, on all State ques tions, obtain a copy of his inaugu ral address from any paper and in dex the items, beginning with alco hol and coming on down the list, through roads, schools, and wel fare, and you will have something definite to refer to as the Legisla- Beware Coughs from common colds That Hang On Creon. ilsion relieves promptly be cause it goes right to the seat of the trouble to help loosen and "expel germ laden phlegm, and aid nature to soothe and heal raw, tender, in flamed bronchial mucous mem branes.

CREOMULSION for Coughs, Chest Colds, Bronchitis Smith's Cut-Rate Drug Store STAGE "Special Guest" tick ets were sent out to a number of folks attending the inauguration. And, flourishing the tickets, they sought a place on the stage, up with the big folks, the governors the supreme court fellows, but most of them were placed in a few seats reserved for ticket-holders. Some of the women pouted a little, but the stage had places for about 75 people, and the official map for seating would permit only the per sons named. So egos the little ones suffered The big ones, like John Harden and wife, who really should have been on the stage, didn't care a whit. CHAIR Governor Cherry tried out the gubernatorial chair at 3 o'clock, Thursday afternoon, Jan uary 4, and liked it. He really did, wheeling back and forth in it for an instant, and then bouncing up again to pose for some more pictures. JIM WORLEY OWEN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Owen, of Waynesville, R. F. D. No. 2, has recently been given his silver wing , ami promoted to the grade of A. M. M. third class, after graduation from the gunnery school at Beaufort and Yellowater, Fla. The silver wings signify that he is now ready to take his place as a gunner on combat crew on a V. P. B. 198 bomber. At the gunnery school he was trained in the operations of .30 and .50 calibre machine guns, first in ground ranges, later in air, learning by simulated aerial battle conditions on how to blast enemy fighter planes from the sky. Young Owen is a graduate of the Waynesville Township high school and volunteered in the ser vice after his graduation in May, 1943. He also attended radar school in Memphis, Tenn., and is now stationed at the Air Wing Fleet, San Francisco, Calif., where he reported after leaving here from a 20 days leave with his parents. He will receive special training at the Air Wing Fleet post before being assigned to sea duty. Letters To Editor CLOSE What legislator is clos est to Governor Cherry? Well, this operator's idea is that Joe L. Blythe of Charlotte, has more in fluence over Mr. Cherry than any other man in the Legislature. However, those other fellows close to Governor Cherry are not in the Legislature however, they have been in times past, in one way or another. SHORT There is a feeling around Raleigh that this Legisla ture will be all business, reflecting the personality of the Governor. If this is borne out within the next three weeks, this legislature should be the shortest in several years. SCHOOLS Governor Cherry said in his address that the school plant of the State is in pretty good shape, and recommended that money be loaned to counties want ing to make repairs. However, he took a kick at the education end of the schools, saying that he want ed the children to be able to read, write and spell when they graduat ed from high school. At the pres ent time, not many of them meet these standards. (Continued from page 2) morale builders in the world. Yours truly, (Cpl.) Lester Hendrix. The following letter to the edi tor appeared in a recent issue of the Asheville Citizen: Dear Editor: I enjoyed your editorial of De. cember 22, entitled "Sunset of Sen- ator Reynolds" yet I am sure your trained eye had already seen the December issue of the "Na tional Record" which bears close resemblance to some patent medi cine ad edited by the senator in question whose present ambition is to be "The Rising Son" in a brand new American era. In the Record's eight pages, he refers to himself 33 times, his "patriotic" objective being to save America from destroying herself right in the midst of a global war. He glibly asks: "How about a new party?" Heavens, no, I have not forgotten the Populists, the Farmer's Alliance, and the Third Party of many years ago how lectoic mm SHIPMENT EXPECTED THIS WEEK NONE RESERVED QUANTITY LIMITED NEW SPECIIALS These Items Are Either On Hand Or- Shipment Is Expected Within Next Week Or Ten Days.

The truth is this sensational fellow, who has so cold-heartedly let North Carolina down, would like to run again this time as candidate for president of his fan tastic dream-world. And since he started his first spectacular career campaigning in a shabby jalopy, he no doubt, in this last meteoric fling would go campaigning all over the United States in a rusty dis carded jeep.
