Capital Letters
By THOMPSON GREENWOOD
SPEED Since the release of
gasoline from the ration list, auto
mobile wrecks in North Carolina
doubled and trebled, and in pro
portion to their number, more dis
charged service men have been in
volved than anybody else. Law rn
iorcement officials and highway
safety folks are admittedly worried
about the situation, but there is a
move on now to increase the speed
limit from the present 'io miles an
hour to around 60.
The Federal government lifted its
request for a 35-mile-an-hour speed
limit in August. In order to raise
this limit, the Council of Stale
must meet with the Governor ami
authorize him to issue a proclama
tion rescinding the old proclamation.
THOUHM'" -One trouble at llnv
lime is the relative scarcity of pa
trolmen, and it would be danger
ous to raise the limit over ;j.r be
fore all patrol stations are fullv
staffed. People are crazy for
speed, and they will get it if the
law isn't around.
HURLEY Kentucky, leading
producfr of hurley tobacco, will
have to keep an eye on Western
North Carolina, where farmers
have learned there is pyore gold
in them thar golden leaves The
burley crop this year is more than
double the production for any year
pior to 1943, and it now looks as
if the crop will be even larger next
season.
Flue-cured tobacco farmers will
tell you that burley (which is har
vested with one whack of the
knife) is not half as much work as
their type and it weighs more and
has been bringing much better
prices during the past three years.
VISIT Clinton Anderson, new
Secretary of Agriculture, is sched
uled to be in South Carolina
around November 23, and agricul
tural leaders of that state just a
little bit north of are attempting
to persuade him to put in an ap
pearance in Raleigh. They have a
thousand questions to ask him, but i
would agree to leave Ihem off ifj
he will arrange to make a nice
talk.
BANDS Within the past 18
months some of the outstanding
name bands of the United States
have played at the Memorial Audi
torium here in Raleigh, two of the
recent performers being Woody
Herman and Cab Calloway. That
isn't so important in itself but Un
important thing is that the only
fellow in Raleigh enterprising
enough to promote these shows
and dances is a Negro, lie cm
ploys white folks to help him with
tickets and that sort of thing.
On the side, he is one of Hie city
policemen.

THEATRICAL .John Harden,
Governor Cherry's secretary, was
Hernadetle's daddy in the Raleigh
Little Theatre's drawmah last

leclivch by Elizabeth Jones,
daughter of .1 II. Jones, head of
the English Department at Wake
Forest College.
SCIENCE DEPT It pays to fol-1
low the advice of these agricultural
fellows on things, I tell you. There
is within three miles of Raleigh
some, land, which three years ago
was about as sorry as any in North
Carolina.
The man who owns it Ihe is one
of these absentee landlords) got an
agronomist to look over this spot
of land, and he followed his advice,
to Ihc letter. The land formerly
yielded around 15 bushels of corn
in good years to the acre. This
year it has 122 bushels to the
acre.
