Floyd wasn't among those who took bows, though he has been with the studio longer than some who did. He was on the job, as usual, as foreman of the electrical depart ment.

Garbo is his all-time favorite "always very pleasant to work with" though slio was also the most temperamental. He has seen her sit in her dressing room an hour, refusing to work, until Studio Boss Mayer and a party of his friends left the stage. The Swedish star used to practice on Floyd the new English-language terms taught her by other players. She didn't know their meaning, and often they were naughty. The studio lias grown from five to 30 stages in Floyd's era. His big gest jol) was lighting a :i()0-by-200 foot indoor forest set for "The Wizard of ().".

Once Gable played a sales man who knocked on a door and encountered a dog. Suspecting the animal might be ferocious, Clark spent two hours swathing his leg with rubber and leather padding as protection against bites. But the beast seemed instinctively to know where there was no padding. He circled, lunged, and bit Gable in the seat of the pants. Porter "laugh ed so hard I thought Gable was go ing to kick me in the puss". Floyd went fishing in the High Sierras with John Barrymore. He remembers Marie Dressier as "a most humane, marvelous person," who bought coffee and ice cream for the entire company daily. It was "a lot of fun" to work on a William I'owell-Jean Harlow pic lure. Floyd cares the least for Wal ly Beery, for unspecified reasons.

Only two of the six, Daniels and Bailey, reached the allotted three score and ten, the former be ing 85 at the time of his death. Bailey was 74.

APRIL 2 As predicted here several weeks ago, the Legislature will in all probability adjourn two weeks from Saturday. The revised Revenue Bill has been adopted. The Appropriations bill should be ratified by the latter part of next week. Despite all the talk about new taxes, little, if anything, of con crete nature has been done about them. State employees' and teachers' salaries will be raised about 20 per cent, effective as of last Oc tober 1. The $30,000,000 "hard times" fund which was set up by Broughton at $20,000,000 and fol lowed by Cherry with $10,000,000. will likely be spent within the next 20 months to meet greatly en larged appropriations. We are drag, ging bottom. Remember this; The income (lie State expects to gel within Hie next two years lias been set so high that any appreciable drop in it will necessitate one of two things: a decrease in salaries for teachers and Stale employees or a special session of the Legislature to increase taxes.

His work on apples, grapes, field crops, vegetables, dairy cattle and poultry brought thousands of visitors to the Stale Test Farm, and every visitor went away with new, practical and sound information. Professor Clapp had the gift of imparting what he learned in such a way that the rank and file of us farmers could understand it. His judgment was sound, so his use fulness kepi growing. From 1941 to 1944, Professor Clapp was assistant County Agcnl in Burke County, and then came back with the Farmers Federation as Horticultural Adviser. During these years, by careful planning, Professor Clapp gave an excellent education to each of his five children. This in itself is a valuable contribution. Professor Clapp, as he retires, can look back upon a unique and constructive career, a life-time of service to the cause of agriculture, during which time he has seen farm practices greatly improve, yields increase, erosion cheeked and a new love and appreciation of. the soil take root in his congre gation, which is another phra-c for the farm people of Western North Carolina. He retires, honored by the pro pie and by all agricultural work ers in the state.

And Studio Boss Mayer is "the best actor on the lot". Floyd would enter the movie business all over again but wouldn't advise anybody else to. "It's un certain and heartbreaking." he says.
