Capitol Letters
By THOMPSON GREENWOOD
Ralph Monger, of Sanford, is the
reading clerk, and the only thins
he lacks being a tobacco auctioneer
on those bills is saying: "Sold
American!"
There is a bare chance that he
will come out with that utterance
between now and adjournment
time . . . you know, just Ret in a
swing and can't stop.
DUNN William Dunn, Jr., act
ing paroles commissioner, is sched
uled to go into military life any
day now. At the time this is
written, nothing is being said about
it, because they don't want a lot
of applications. However, it would
seem that the more applicants they
have, the better chance they would
have to choose a good man.
Dunn, a native of (cw Bern, was
eligible for deferment, but would
not take it, preferring rather to
follow in the t racks i of Hathaway
Cross, of Gates County, who turn
ed up his nose at deferment, going
in as a buck private in the spring
of 1 4:i. When he left, his assist
ant. Dunn, was promoted to the
place.
CHANGES This column report
ed recently that the Board of Edu
cation bill has left Clyde Erwin
very little say-so regarding the op
eration of the Slate's schools.
Well, last week Superintendent Er
wins friends attempted to tack on
seven amendments to the bill, so
as to Kiv Clyde at least a look-in
on educational finances; but the
proposed changes bounced off
about as fast as they were introduced.
BIGG En Within the past three,
four weeks, around 50 local bills
have been introduced to increase
the sizes of various towns. How
about your own town? Do you
have a lot of business houses built
away down the road yonder that
you think should be within the
city limits? All right, get some
influential fellows to talk it over

Maybe you won't thank us for reminding

. Almost alone among household necessities,
,;the price of electricity has not spiraled up

inures show that the average price of elec
kcity has actually dropped 3.2 since 1939!
That's esrjeeiallv mnJ nm now. hut it
imtinues a long-time trend. Electric prices

you're using more electricity to do more jobs
than you did then. But the saving is there.
It Las been accomplished by America's
light and power companies in spile of rising
costs and taxes on top of tremendous war
demands for electric service that were met
without delay, shortage or rationing.
It was done by efficiency and experience
and sound business management by the
same American enterprise which built our
nation and ou which its future depends.

with your representative and if
there is no serious opposition, you
can get it done. Just think, then
your city may be larger than small
town. And then, when you meet
them in football next fall, you
won't have an inferiority complex.
.FUTURE The broad medical
plan for Rural North Carolina has
been set up as a project for the
future. The Rcini of the plan has
been embraced, but the money to
give it growth must await more

lot incut of teachers, purchase and
allocate replacement school buses,
and have charge of all school bus
transportation.
The bill says ' Superintendent
determine certificate ratings," and
that's about all it says about Mr.
Krw in.
SOP The almost complete fail
ure of the medical plan has caus
ed keen disappointment among the
legislators lighting ior it. for they
wanted something done NOW. As
sop to keep fellows like C. II. Jen
kins, of Bertie county, and his
fellow senator. W. T. Culpepper,
of Elizabeth City, happy, some
thing may be done for the rural
hospitals of the State. Hut it's
second fiddle business any way
you look at it.
The medical bill legislators are
extremely eage r to get money for
rural health in one way or an
other but do county hospitals
need money now ? An informal sur
vey made by this column shows
that the rural hospitals made more
real cash last year than ever lie
lore. Is this the case with your
local setup?
The general feeling around the
Legislature is that a little money
now might hurt the chances for a
broad medical program two years
tiom now. On the other hand, it
im'it be a foot-in-the-'door move
ment which would be worthwhile.
This argument will rage in Kaleigh
for several days yet .
SPUING You are familiar, of
course, with the little yellow (low
er that is going to burst out of
the ground at the first hint of
spring. Use (he (lower bed for
a playground or a woodpile in
winter, but that bulb is going to
send a green stem up, come what
may. It's called March (lower,
jonquil, daffodil. Well, they are
selling for 25 cents per dozen on
Capital Square here in Kaleigh.
"Do these fellows here in the Leg
islature ever buy any?''
No, the old man replied, "I
sell most of them to these little
office girls around here. Legisla
ture fellers ain't interested."
WINE Congressman Herbert
Homier remarked to some North
Carolinians early in January that
he felt he could gel a $10,000 an
nual appropriation for more grape
research in North Carolina. Using
this as a spring board, it was de
cided to attempt to obtain $10,000
from the General Assembly. The
hill was carried directly to the Ap
pripriations Committee, but no
body las obviously planned) knew
much about it. There was a lot of
argument as to where the money
should come from.
finally. Clarence Stone, of Rock
ingham county, and one of the
sti'uiigest legislator, jumped up
and asked that the tax tin synthetic
wine be raised from the present
20 cents a gallon to $1 20. The
idea was carried to the House' as
an amendment to Hit1 Revenue
Hill, and the week ended with
much argument over it and it
passed the first reading.
FRANK I)r. Frank (Jraham,
who is still president of (he
Creator University of North Car
olina, was in Raleigh virtually
every da.v'last week in the interests
of the rural medical program,
which should eventually mean a
r00-lcd hospital for (he Chapel
Hill null of the University.
Dr. Graham is no mean lobbyist.
He's little, hut he's fast. And he
will shake hands with you (wheth

to you as if you were a life-long
friend. He was all over the place

running into drug stores and call

generally making his influence felt,
but never forcing it on any body.

Raleigh from Washington last week
that tho European war is set to
