work have seen 'mor than 2,000
miles' of rural 'roads paved .and
another nearly 3,000 miles stabil
ized under the 1200,000,000 bond
program. And it will bring the to
tal of secondary roads paved under
the Scott Administration to approx
imately 3,500.

Even the .pigeons on Capitol Squ
are are suspicious these hot poli
tical days. A car backfired" the
other afternoon and several hund
red of the birds took to the airways
immediately. They circled the
Capitol for several minutes before
deciding that they weren't caught
In a Scott and anti-Scott crossfire,
then settled back to mooching pea
nuts from passersby. v .,-
Nobody's hoarding these days,
they're Just buying up stuff to
keep the hoarders from getting
it". .. ;.:-.., ,- ,,
A quick check around Raleigh
brought this picture: -
Restaurants Operators being
told by their state organization to
"raise prices or go broke." Their
food -costs are jumping - up IS
to 20 In the last month and a
half. One said he wished OP A
would come back. "If they don't
do that, or stop the wholesale price
boosting, I'll .have to go out ' of
business.",; This same man said
the better restaurants are keeping
the same quality food but are rais
ing prices. If the prices on the me
nu are the same as they were a
couple of months ago, he said, you
can be sure that quality of the food
has suffered.. : .' ..."
Office supplies - - One salesman
said folks are buying "enough
stuff to run them for a couple of
years." Outfits usually giving $25
orders now are buying in the hun
dreds of dollars class.: r i
Groceries - From, all over? the
State it's the same story.; folks
are loading up on sugar, canned
goods, processed meats. A clerk
said here folks who never bought
more than two -to five pounds of
sugar a week no ware-staggering
out of his store with 60 or more
pounds of the sweet stuff. "Makes
you ashamed of Uein' a human,"
he said. . ..'' v
Florists supplies -- Wholesalers
are being swamped. '.One florist
usually a few-dollar-at-a-tlme buy
er recently sent in an order that
included $250 -worth of ribbon. In
cidentally, the cost of ribbon is go
ing up. It's made n North Carolina
then sent to New York and given
a new name, then sent .back at
twiec the cost. 'V;Hfc';r '
W.s'V
And that's another thing We
talk about "living at home",: yap
about bringing new - Industry to
North Carolina and the South. And
our own manufacturers are carpet
bagging us to death. - It looks a
little crazy to me-- you have to
buy something -, made , in North
Carolina out of New York. In ad
dition to the middleman profit you
have to pay, you're nicked for the
freight there and back.---v-
North Carolina and the South
will never get out of their econo
mic hole until manufacturers build
up their owniales and distribution
systems. We've got to stop hand
ing out southern cash to Yankee
middlemen -- especially When
those "dollars could so easily be
kept at home. - "::w'.' Vss.

Well known fact: Governor Scott
says more telephones is one of the
greatest needs of rural North Caro
lina. He, said it again jv the recent
Farm and Home Wk at N.
State College. ... , , -
Little-known ' tact: Forty-two
years ago the president of Farm
and Home Week made the same
almost identical statement.
That man was R. W. Scott, the gov
ernors father. -.-'.frf'; .
: it sounds unbelievable, but I'm
told that there are less telephones
in rural North Carolina today than
mere were 42 years ago.

It's common gossip that Demo
cratic Senator , Nominee Willis
Smith will "clean house" when he
takes over the junior senatorship
from North Carolina". All of Sena
tor Frank Graham's workers are
expected to get the heaveho If
they don't quit first -Smith will
have a .couple of nice plums to
hand out in the way of a 110.000
4 year salary for an administrative
assistant : and $7,300 per annum
for. a press assistant The talk here
is that Alvin Whitfield -- Raleigh
typewriter. dealer and radio com
mentator who ardently supported
Smith will get the top' paying
job. Hoover Adams, the Dunn ed
itor who was Smith's publicity
man during the campaign, reported
ly will be given the othr. J. C. 3.
Ehringhaus, Jr., is being tabbed
as a possible Smith aide, but most
folks agree he would decline any
offer from Smith.

Remember the 'Toad of the 99
fords"? t Ihade the headlines- less
thah a year .ago (when red-headed,
big-hearted Miss Nora Edmondson
teacher In a One-room Watauga
county scnooihoiise nwaged a
one-woman fight for a road build
ing Job- thaf would end the Isola
tion of 23 families In that Dan'l
vMiii Nbi-a who doesn't admit
her age but is '74 if she's a day",
according to schoolkids she taught
- is a retired Georgia schoolmarm.
Last Fall she took over-the oae-
room school in Elk Valley. i,
There used to be a road through
that section. It wasn't much of a
road. It was passable in good wea
ther if you had a high-wheeled
car that could drive through the
fords of Elk Creek. In 1940 Elk
when the old gal simmered down
Creek went on a rampage.' and
there just wasn't any more road.
After that it was forgotten by
the Highway Department until
Miss Nora came along. ' ?
The 23 families' living in the
area were isolated.: A trip to near
by Trlpplett was an occasion. You
had to have an old gray mare or
mighty . good knee action to get
anywhere. . vr.:
The kids had to walk to school
some of them as. much as six or
seven miles. They bad to cross
wobbly footlog bridges. But they
came, and Miss Nora taught them.
( Last 1 October 27, ' Miss" Nartrh
wrote a letter. She asked Kerr
Scott if he didn't thing there should
be a road to every school.
Scott did, and he began to write
some letters. Eighth Division High
way Commissioner Mark Goforth
f Lenoir put on his walking boots
and made a - personal Inspection.
His answer to the governor .'was
that "conditions are' much worse"
that Miss Nora had said.
I By December 2, work on the road
of the 99 fords' had been started.
It is now almost finished and will
be completed by the time school
opens.-'':. .-,-;. .' ,V.-- "J.''.'-'
But Miss Nora -- who at 70-odd
was young and spry enough to hop
across rickety footlogs -- won't
be teaching her 22 youngsters this
fall They say now -- she's too
old. L-r.sxy; - a
It seems the Lower Elk School
is being absorbed in another one
of those consolidations. The kids
will be picked up by school buses
and driven over the new road -
without the 99 fords -- to shlney
new brick buildings -- a far cry
from their one-room shack of last
year, . ' .v.- 5
Reports reaching -here Indicate
that Miss Nora stepped on quite
a few. toes .when she. forgot red
tape and went to the governor with
her road problem. . .'
Technically, , she - wasn't -fired.
She just wasn't re-hired for the
coming school year. It seems the
folks that get things done Invite
a kick in the pants from the stand
patters. S f ,
But up In Elk Creek valley -
where' the new road of 99 fords
has ended 'a 10 year isolation -
the mention of Miss Nora's name
will bring smiles for many yei'S
to come.
Ari she mint have a v
...'...; r j.,-
Put this down to remember come
January 1 and legislature.
Gov. Scott will ask the General
Assembly to do something about
two things - stream pollution and
highway safety. ' ;
Outside of that he'll tell the law
makers to do anything they want,
but be. sure they find the money
for it .''.;;: .':'V1r''-;''
Stream pollution will, be the
number one project for Kerr Scott.
Cleaning up the streams will help
bring in new Industries, which
must have clean water; it will aid
the dairy industry, because cattle
cannot use polluted streams for
drinking purposes under our Grade
A milk regulations; and it. will help
preserve fish and" game, both of
which are killed by the polluted
water. y t-'.y ;!,.k:,.";
On the highway safety side, the
governor may recommend a simpli
fied motor vehicle Inspection law.
The hopped-tm death toll on our
roads shows a need for definite
action. In addition, he may re
quest an expanded highway safety
education program. ' ? - . I
And you definitely can count on
Scott request for at Jeast 100
more highway patrolmen. More
patrolmen are needed on the pri
mary highways, and the governor
would like to see patrolmen on the
secondary roads -- not now pa
trolled at all. -
