That's the feeling in Raleigh. So,
Broughton would like to see Mr.
Bailey stay right where he is until
election time 1948 and then he
don't care what he does ... so
long as he doesn't run for re-election.
POLITICAL PHAFF People
seem to feel that State Treasurer
Charlie Johnson's plug for the
white-collar worker ("he should
have more money") is a definite
sign he's running for Governor . . .
btit they also think that his state
ment may hurt his chances with
the folks (there are around 290,
000 farms in this state and hun
dreds of factories) who aren't in
the white-collar class . . . (Note to
Johnson: Charlie, the shirt situa
tion being what it is, you'd, better
go slow on the white collar busi
ness). Bailey health notice from the
mouth of Governor Cherry: "The
last time I saw Senator Bailey he
was in bed worrying about his
blood pressure." . . . Ask Raleigh
politicos about Gordon Gray's am
bitions and they will tell you: "He
wants to go as far as he can." .
That's a mouthful. However, it's
important to note that Gray, who
has announced for the State Sen
ate from Forsyth, has served two
terms, but has never had any op
position. Opposition sometimes
makes a difference, boys. But Gor
don Gray is young (about 35), he
owns two Winston-Salem papers
(combined circulation about 50
000), and he has quite a bit of
poise maybe too much for a man
his age . . . And there is still some
talk that he would like to buy the
Raleigh afternoon paper one of
these days. He considered it in
NOTES The salary of our Gov
crnors is $10,500 per year . . . and
that's less than the football coaches
at Duke and Carolina make .
Tom Dewey, New York Governor,
draws $25,000 per annum, the most
of any governor in the natjon .
South Dakota pays its governor

Of Mr mux Mi.l- II t H.T.r
"-. ii. r. mcr.irov, o
Fines Creek, is spending a .M-d-iys
leave with his parents. He entered
the service in October, 1943. and ;
took his boot training at Great
Lakes Naval Training Center. From
the latter he was sent lo Corpus
Chnsti, Texas, for special work
From the Texas post he was sent
to the Pacific and served for near- ;
iy iwo years at a repair base
oaipan.
At the time he entered the serv
ice iie was employed at the ew-
pon iews Shipbuilding and
uock company.
Delaware, Georgia. Idaho. Iowa
Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska
Oregon, and South Carolina, $7.50o!
Nevada, which has the fewest peo
ple of any state, pays its executive
$14,000 per year.
In pleading for higher salaries
for its teachers, the University of
North Carolina Trustees recently
pointed out that an instructor re
ceives on $1,300 per year; a full
professor, $4,500.
TEACHERS' SALARIES De
spite the fact that this State is pay
ing its teachers much better than
ever before and there is talk of
further increases for principals and
some teachers at the next Legisla
tureNorth Carolina still pays be
low the national average . . . well
below.
The average teacher in North
Carolina will receive about $1,350
this year . . . and the national
average two years back was $1,755
and will likely run about $1.!K)0
now.
The most recent figures for the
nation are for the school vear
194,3-44. At that time, North Caro
lina was in forty-first place among
the states in teacher pay. At the
bottom was Mississippi at $790. At
the top was New York at $2,720
as the average salary for teachers
COMPARISON What would
you say the average physician in
North Carolina made last year?
SIDEWALK They are digging
the basement now for the big ad
dition to your State Revenue build
ing. The shovel is down there
moving about like a champion pu-
gilist going through his paces for
some admirers. ... If the State
wanted to make a little money on
the side, it could put a fence
around the project and charge the
sidewalk superintendents so much
per head . . . Raleighiles are the
worst you ever saw The Revenue
Building Annex is much more
poular now than it will be after
it begins operating.
COMPLETE The appointment
of former Governor O. Max Gard
ner as Undersecretary of the
Treasurer came as a complete sur
prise around Raleigh . . . When his
Son died a few weeks ago they had
him returning to Shelby to settle
down in quiet retirement . . . Now
Shelby stoqk is on the rise again.
POWER Although it has been
14 years since Gardner made his
last appointment in North Carolina,
the political power which he gath
ered in this State from the time
he was sold down the river in favor
of Morrison by the Simmons Ma
chine (1920) until he went out of
the Governor's office in 1932 well.
January of 1933 if you want to be
technical is still a dominant fac
tor in Raleigh politics . Many of
the men he gave a hand to in the
old days now hold important Stale
positions. It is a known fact that
Gov. Cherry listened to Gardner
not at all in making his appoint
ments, but many of Broughton's
and Hoey's and I-hringhaus' men
were reappointed and there is
where Gardner still has his power
in North Carolina politics.
Also, of course, his brother-in-
law is Senator Clyde R. Hoey. Not
that Hoey would listen to Max . . .
not much!
LICENSES Many a man want
ing a big State political office has
thought how nice it would be to
drive back among his home folks
with one of those small license
numbers . . . anything under 90!
But seasoned politicians around
Raleigh will tell you that nothing
makes the people back home any
madder than to see one of their
natives driving around with a low
number. One Eastern North Caro
lina man actually became known
as "Old 47." Consequently, this
year 28 State officials refused the
low numbers.
Agriculture Commissioner Kerr
Scott never used his low num
ber, : s ' .i's just like waving a
red flag at a bull."
COMPLIMENT Do you want tc
know what kind of fellow Harry
Truman is? Your reporter last
week asked a" man who has been
in the President's company quite
a bit to compare him with some
outstanding North Carolinian.
"Well," this fellow replied with
out hesitation, "Truman is just
such a man as Boddie Ward, head
of the Motor Vehicles Depart
ment." SLB DISCOMFORTS

Students Sing For
Lions Tonight
The members of the local Lions
Club could hardly believe their
ears last Thursday night when a
ventriloquist invaded the Lions Den
and began calling voices out of a
bottle. Alexv Houston put on a
show superior to some profession
als in the art of voice throwing.
When Aley was twp years old his
mother discovered that her paby
would whistle for his 4og without
moving his lips. During his few
years Alex has developed the art
of ventriloquism to the amazement
of family and friends. lie has ap
peared before the Lions Club of
Asheville, Canton .Brevard, Hen
dersonville and Waynesville.
One of the most unusual tricks
of the trade was the fact that Alex
has a beautiful boy soprano voice
which he uses to an advantage.
With "Elmer" on one knee and
"Katie" on the other, the two dum
mies sang a duet. "Elmer" would
sing a line in his masculine voice,
and "Katie" would respond in her
lady-like soprano. Imitations of
birds, cats, dogs and chickens were
done in professional ventriloquist
fashion.
Two former Lions, Joe Casabella
and Marshall Tolley, were reinstat
ed to active membership at the
last meeting, ine attendance con
test got off to a good start, with
only a few absentees.
The Lions will hear more voices
tonight, but not from a ventrilo
quist. These voices will come from
the young throats of a group of
children from East Waynesville
School. On previous occasions the
children from Hazelwood and Cen
tral Elementary schools have per
formed for the Lions. Every mem
ber of the club is urged to be
present and act as judges.
Shoe Storage
Arrange a place to keep your
shoes when not In use off the. floor,
in a shoe bag, cabinet or shelf. Such
practice keeps them from collecting
dust and being kicked around. Store
out-of-season shoes clean and in
good repair away from dust, damp
ness and excessive heat so they will
be ready to step out at a minute's
notice.

The chief function of the North Carolina Committee
of the United States Brewers Foundation is to see to
it that beer is sold in strict accord with public senti
nient and with the high standards of the brewing
industry.
Trained field men employed by the Committee tour
the state constantly, observe actual retail outlet
operations, report their findings. Where necessary,
the Committee makes suggestions for improvement.
As most beer retailers believe it sound business
policy to operate properly, such suggestions are us
ually accepted readily. However, if cooperation is
not forth-coming, the proper authorities are notified.
Thus strict supervision of beer retailing and close
cooperation with law-enforcement authorities assure
the maintenance of wholesome conditions wherever
beer is sold.
