That’s the ay we heard it. Anyway, Kerr :otl—no slouch when it cornea dealing with the news report s—picked up the hall on a tele ione call from Umstead Friday ternoon and went tearing down field with it. He left Umstea^ anding away hack on heside .'.W.^ You would have thought Scott as calling the plays. He wasn’t, was Umstead, for the execu te committee. That had been freed upon by Uimstead and the overmor in one of their little inferences.

He didn’t say he as letting Bill Uimstead make lat announcement. , We said: “Something coming up 1 hwt a few minutes.” A few minutes went toy. The call Bn* from Umstead.

That’s a lot of fertilizer. The Governor’s statement that he’s spent at least $2,000 painting the farm buildings also falls like gentle rain in the fertilizer cate gory. DRIVE . , . We heard on good authority last week that two or three of the highway commission ers are putting on quiet drives for reappointments to these positions when the new administration takes over next January. Prediction: nothing doing. We doubt that one of the commission ers will be commissioning a year from now. / The interesting thing is th^t any one Of them would be inter ested in wanting to continue. Few highway commissioners have ac complished more here or any where else in the Nation than those who have served Kerr Scott since the spring of 1949. PBAIRSON . . .
