Capital Letters By THOMPSON GREENWOOD DOGWOOD There is always somebody trying l'a,,se trouble, and now it is the dogwood folks. They are writing into John Har den, private secretary to Governor Gregg Cherry, wanting to know just what species of the dogwood is the State flower-as if that made any difference. Harden is no student of botany, neither is he especially well versed in horticulture or forestry. After checking around a bit, he found there are six species of dogwood growing in Norlh Carolina. Well, which one? Harden finally emerged with the assertion thai ANY species of the dogwood is the Stale llower. So far, thai answer has satisfied everyone. Vrc-Day Was your VK-Day the Associated Press variety i Monday, the President Truman setup tTiie.s dayi. or the Josef Stalin day (Wed nesday)? li.-deich merchants began clos ing Monday morning, meaning to open Tuesday, and then came the announcement Monday was not Un real VK-Day. and they didn't know wtiat to do.

The same thing is now proposed on a national basis through Fed eral aid to education. This should mean a great deal to North Caro lina especially in the way of teacher pay. Hut Senator J. W. Bailey Is against it. lie has his reasons. Here is what he has to say: "I am opposed ti) Federal aid to help local and Slate schools for the following reasons: First, the Federal Government is now eon fronted with a debt of 30(1 billions of dollars. It cannot take on new appropriations and responsibili ties. Over against this, the slates have been reducing their debts. 1 fully agree that the teachers ought lo be paid better salaries, hut I hey cannot safely look to the Federal Government now . . . "Second, I am opposed to any policy lending lo predicate Feder al control of our public and Slate schools. I know it is proposed thai the Federal Government shall appropriate liOO million a year for the public schools and it is propos ed thai the Federal Government shall not have any supervision or control over the public schools. I am sure that Ibis cannot be. made good. The Federal Government will supervise the schools sooner or later if they look lo the Federal Government for part of their sup port . , ." FOR Senator Clyde R. Hoey is for Federal aid. More about this next week.
