We have -jod authority that the Re ins, starving for patronage I inns.’ years away from the U will begin moving in on rjg jdbs held -by Democrats , in "February. new-brooming is not ex to reach down into the IV brackets—sometimes rgfer TL as echelons—for several Jjjjj However the best advice (Democrats holding jobs‘ other janitorial and stenographic 5 {or Democrats holding jobs than janitorial and steno seems to be as follows: tr start looking around, save - money, and enjoy life while [can. It’s later than you think, laterally, if you occupy one of Federal positions, ■ you are trfully lhinklng that Civil Ser » will protect ybu. Don’t fig ton it. The Democrats played # Civil Service, drew hundreds [thousands of additional em vees under its protective wing, „ thus in two decades paved [way for Careers in Govern „hat the Democrats did the Re Jblicans can undo.

If he isn’t “right”, and iother applicant is “right”, there : at least 50 various tried and (ue methods which can be fol ded in counting him out. IIN THEORY . . . In Theory, least, postmasters have been Civil Service and lifetime > age 70) appointments since the early days of the New Deal. As a matter of cold, hard fact, the Civil Service requirements are so geared as to give each appoint ment political overtones. Theoretically, too, Federal job holders are under the Hatch Ac't and must not indulge in out-loud political opinion. TURNOVER . . . Some post masters in North Carolina pay good money. In Raleigh, for example,1 the base salary is $9,®75 per year. It has been estimated that the turnover in postmasters in between 10 and 13 per cent annually. At this rate, the Republicans without being mean about it can staff approximately 50 per cent of the top post office jpbs in North Carolina and the nition in the next four years. COLLEGE TROUBLES . . . With colleges almost as numerous as cotton mills in North Carolina, seldom a week passes that one or a dozen isn’t marching across the headlines or getting comment in editorial columns. Last weefc* Wake Forest, the University, and Duke were in the act. TREBIBLINQ . . . Wake Forest alumni are muttering that Presi dent Harold Tribble is shooting at their football team in that he has reduced scholarships for ditto from , 35 to a flat 20. They further charge in behind-the-door conversation that the athletic bosses had little to offer this year’s newcomers in the way of financial inducement, and declare that the future for football looks dark indeed at Bap tist Hollow. Other ramblings are to the ef fect that 'President Tribble, while undoubtedly choosing able assist ants ip,- the huge project pointed toward the Twin City, is reaching but and finding too many non Wake Forest men. Also, that the move to Winston-Salem is ex ceedingly slow; and literally mil lions—some say 10, others as high as 15—must be raised before the school can begin operating in full swing at its new campus at Rey nolda.

This PParently has been misunderstood several persons have been ap 'ehended during the past week . claimed they were out “just raining their dogs” before the sea on opens. k°gan points out that all hunt 1 icense requirements must be ' while training bird dogs or *agles. Under Chapter 113 of J Genetal Statutes, Section 95, ° Person shall at any time take animals or birds without first ^'ng procured a license as pro by this article...” Section 83 of the Chapter de t es ^e- term “take*’ as: “pursu Jj shootinS> hunting, killing, Pacing, trapping, snaring and ‘ ,g birds or animals, collect w lrds’ nests or eggs, and all r acts, such as disturbing or ying birds or animals, or plac vi 0r Us*ng any net or other de bit'd °r the PurP°se °f taking thevS °r an™als> whether or. not hi., rejult in the taking of such ^or animals.” "Therefore,” Logan points put, ^ ?r“1e.r to train bird dogs on is ?.*? *n the fields where game rsturbed, molested, or other > lirJ13^ ^ affecting the training, the I'frnuld be required since definition of Hake’ includes auch acts.” Th^t °Pen season beginning on ^ sgiving js for wild turkeys, seaso ’ squ'xrel's and quail.
