Broughton and Kjrkman are seen
as grist in the political mill
t
C, V, MNttLK. . . . We were
talking with f^rwlor C, V Hinkle
of itattovllle a <Ury lust week.
Hinkle who wax right much of a
thorn in the flesh o( the Hodges
leadership during the 1909 session
of tiie fceneral Assembly appears
- to be an wknast certain candidate
for lieutenant governor. If Hinkl4
runs he will certainty toe a formida
ble candidate, and inreur opinion
the man to beat if someone dse is
to win the number two spot on
(he Democratic ticket.
SPEAKERSHIP ... Rep Joe
Hunt of Guilford appears to have
made considerable gains in the
three cornered race for Speaker
since the session adjourned. Some
of his supporters are saying that
be ha* it “sewed up.” However,
our thinking is that it will not be
in the bag for anyone until after
the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor has been selected. In 1950
Fred Royster is reported to have
had 08 or 70 commitments, but
lost at the caucus to Frank Taylor
by a big margin!
KHUtMAlV ... gaw Arthar
Khtauui In Raleigh Friday. Raid
he had Just about made up his
mtod about naming for gover
nor. The implication was that
he would likely run.
BANK MERGERS . . . Quite
frequently you read in the news
papers about bank mergers in
North Carolina. This may be good
and well, but some people have
their doubts about it. Some people
feel that there is a gave danger
of the banks wanting to grow big
so they can go after the big loans
and that the little man who needs
to borrow from $100 to $500 may
suffer. _
SCOTT AND BANKS , . . While
we are writing about banks, it
might not be amiss to recall that
banks played a right major part
in Kerr Scott’s victory for Gov
ernor over Charlie Johnson in
19W. The state's money was in a
number of the banks over the state
nnd the state was drawing no in
terest on the accounts. Kerr Scott
made this an issue and our guess
is that R won him as many votes
as any other issue in the cam
paign—and probably more.
Steott tolit the writer one Ume
flat most instances ho would
fltol too banks with the state
deposit* opposing him, and that
he would go to the bunks which
did not have the deposits and
they would be supporting him.'
Since Scott was elected Governor
and a law pasoed providing for
on the state’s idle funds,
of ddban have been
added to the state's coffers in
Merest.
FORD GUESSED WRONG . . .
When the Font Motor Company
brought out its Edsel car a few
years ago it guessed 100 percent
wrong. Instead of making and at
tempting to market* a bigger car
had they then brought out its lit
the Fatoon and gave it the Edsel
name, chances are that it would
be right up there with Rambler
today.
MU81NGS . . . Paul Johnston,
Director of Administration in Ra
leigh is immune from the com
mon colds—says he has newer had
one ... We don't expect any
formal announcements for high
political office by any of the seri
ous contenders before I960. Around
the Jefferaon-Jaekson Day Dinner
which wM be held on Saturday,
Feb. 6, announcements will likely
be popping, one way or another
. . . We still hear Mel Broughton’s
name mentioned as a possible can
didate for the U. S. Senate .

SHE LIKES
YULE DECORATIONS
To The Editor:
"Interred Chapel Hillian’’ has
asked if anybody else shares his
<or her > sentiment in disliking the
merchants' Christinas decorations
in downtown Chapel Hill.
I, for one, am bored with sup
posedly sophisticated people here
who seem always to complain
about any an every change.
Particularly, it seems, they’re de
termined that whatever decora
tions are put up downtown are
too “commercial." For years
we’ve had complaints about the
decorations . .
It’s obvious you aren’t going to
please aH of the people all of the
time — or some people any time
time. But I’d like to thank the
Merchants Association for the at
tractive Christmas flavor they’ve
given the community thife year
and for many years before.

‘AMEN’ ON SIDEWALKS
To The Editor:
—Just a note to say “amen,”
and then some to your editorial
of last week on dirt sidewalks. 1
My main concern for many
yean in this manner has been
safety. I don’t know why the
Town hasn't been sued by some
of the many people who halve trip
ped and fallen on these rutted
i
paths.
The News of Orange County has
done a public service in calling
attention to this dangerous situa
tion. . . We like the paper —
especially “Orange Pealings .
