. Through State
Capital Keyiieles
| By Bess Hinton Silver
Highway Engineer ? By the time
you read this the State Highway and
Public Works Commission, with ap
proval of Governor Ehringhaus who
really does the picking, may have
named a chief to succeed the late
John Waldrop. It's a closely guarded
secret of the Executive Offices but
Charles Upham is the man the Gov
ernor first selected. Upham, who
held the chief engineer's post several
years ago, now has a more lucrative
position~in Washington. Yet he was
interested enough to make a visit to
Raleigh to discuss the proposition
and the administration is hopeful he
will accept. He is an engineer of
national reputation and if the Gov
ernor can get him back to North
Carolina it will be a ten-strike for
J. C. B. E.
Vanished Hope?One of Governor
Ehringhaus' idealistic ambitions was
to be Governor of North Carolina,
without having to call out the mili
tary to preserve order in industrial
warfare. The day the Flying Squad
ron of Strikers was making things
hot in this State the Governor was
sweating blood. To call or not to
call troops was the big question. He
delayed until the roving bands of
strikers foced his hand and then is
sued the call that dashed his hope of
becoming a treopless Governor. The
textile strike has caused more than a
little official headaches in North
Carolina.
Jeffress?The State Capital has
been much disturbed by the critical
illness of E. B. Jeffress, chairman of
the highway system. His position is
almost that of a second Governor,
so vast is the highway and prison
system as so great is the annual ex
penditure of more than $10,000,000
outside of debt payments. It's a key
position and one that's hard to fill
for the simple reason that men
shouldering similar responsibility in
the financial or industrial worlds
usually get three times the pay of the
highway chairman. The wrong man
might easily enrich himself and
wreck the administration and the
State.
Constitution?It looks like the is
sue of the proposed revised constitu
tion for North Carolina is going to
be fought out on partisan political
lines. The line-up of proponents is
almost identical with that in the Eh
ringhaus - Fountain gubernatorial
campaign in 1932., Make your own
comparisons in your own community.
Aula Tags?The movement to low
er the cost of automobile license tags
is almost cer^in to get away to a
good start in General Assembly next
January. But it will have a lot of
hurtles to clear. Strong sentiment in
some quarters for further diversion,
of highway funds will bring pressure
on the lawmakers and thousands of
North Carolina motorists want their
roads put in better condition. If di
version comes it will make lower li
cense tags and better roads more dif
ficult The finest cow can be milked
dry.
On The Jump?About the busiest
person in Raleigh during the past
week was Miss Mamie Turner, chief
clerk in the Governor's office. What
with strikes ?nd appointments and
Charles Powell, private secretary
away on vacation Miss Mamie was
kept on the hop, ?? skip and jumpt by
scores of telephone calls and tele
grams daily. Ben, the colored janitor
was also away on vacation and Miss
Mamie was doing the errands to
boot Having served five different
Governors Miss Turner is one of the
most widely known women in North
Carqtfna.
Foresight?Some Tar Heel political
prognosticators read in the stars fur
ther indication that Governor Ehring
hans intends to oppose Senator Jo
siah Bailey in the Governor's appoint
ment of his personal friend Harry
McMnllen as Chairman of the Indus
trial Commission to succeed Major
Matt H. Allen who resigned. These
astrologers point out that if Mr. Eh
ringhaus had derated Dewey Dor
sett, representative of capital on
the Commission, labor would have
been offended. By the same token,
promotion of T. A. Wilson, labor's
representative, would have offended
capital. By Mining an outsider as
chairman the Governor may have dis
appointed both groups, but neither
can be .offended. Figure it out for
Flash?Tarn C. Bowie, the perenial
Representative from Ashe county and
considered a threat in the 1936 gub
ernatorial race, is telling his close
fritSMb that he has made up his mind

Doughton now intends to be a candi
date for Governor in 1936. The Cap
itol Hill fortune-tellers have discov
ered a couple of reasons for this and
both can be classified under the word
("pressure". First, the grapevine re
ports, there is super-pressure from
people who would like to see him o??
? as chairman of the powerful House
j Ways and Means Committee thai
I writes the nation's tax lawn ?Next,
there is a strong group that wtgpts to
see in the next Governor a man who
| has not been mixed up in State poli
tics in recent years. That's power
ful combination. Capitol Hill believes
' that if Mr. Doughton doesn't run for
! Governor it will be because of some
thing yet to happen.
? Peronal Magnetism ? Senator
Robert Rice Reynolds is one politic
cian who plays the game according
to his own rules. Last fall when
everybody in North Carolina was on
one side or the other of the repeal
fence the Junior Senator took off
for a European tour. This fall when
the proposed revised constitution for
North Carolina is dividing political
lines sharply Senator Reynolds is off
for a trip to Mexico to study the
tourist traffic. It's a known fact
that the other politicians didn't help
Reynolds swamp former Senator Cam
Morrison in 1932 and apparently he
thinks that there is little to be gained
from affiliation with factions. Sena
tor Reynolds' ability to attract votes
has long been the envy of many a
North Carolina aspirant for public
office. V j
Doesn't Uke It?Close friends of
Lieutenant Governor A. H. (Sandy)
Graham report that he is not carried
away with the suggestion that he
run for Attorney General against the,
present legal head-man Dennis G.
3rummit instead of opposing Clyde
R. Hooey, of Shelby, or Congressman
Doughton for Governor in 1936. Some
of his closest friends believe that I
Mr. Graham has already made up his
mind to run for Governor or break
a trace. They are not so sure of the
outcome of a race between the Lieut
enant Governor and two gentlemen
mentioned.
Premiums Restricted
To Carolina Products
The North Carolina State Fair will
restrict its premiums on agricultural
products to North Carolina growers
alone and will pay competitors $10,-1
500 for the agricultural exhibits
made. .
"This means that Tarheel farmers
should plan to enter more of their
product at the Fair this year," says
Dean L O. Schaub, head of the ex
tension service at State College. "We
are asking our county farm and
home agents to aid growers in select- j
ing and preparing exhibit material I
when possible but we shall not be-able
to aid in this work to any great ex-.j
tent due to emergency canning and
crop adjustment programs now un
derway. The fair last fall was an
excellent exposition but failed to mea
sure the agriculture of the State be
cause of the few agricultural exhib
its made. I am hopeful that this
will be remedied this fall.
The Satte Fair will be held during
the week of October 8 to 13.
The premium list has been printed
and is now ready for distribution, Mr.
Schaub said. Those desiring copies
of the list should make their applica
tion directly to Mr. Norman Y.,
monaomn ot Rfllpitrll.
V4iaiIU/UOO) <tUiin*fcv* ??? ?-o ?
Until last fall, county home and
farm agents were , able to. give con-,
siderable time to selecting, assembl
ing and preparing farm products for
exhibit at the annual State Pair.
However, the cotton plow-up cam
paign, the tobacco work and the em
ergency canning program, prevented j
the agents from taking an active part
in helping with the fair in 1933. J
This should not deter individuals
from selecting their choice livestock, i
field crop and garden products to be
shown at the fair this fall, said Mr.
Schaub.

Not "Speed Crazy'"
~ ' ' "
Detroit, September 12 ? "Tbej
celled 'speed-crazy" according to
H. G. Weaver, Director, Customer
Research Staff; General Motors Cor
poration; Y-. v"V- V"..j
. "This assertion is. base^ on an an
alysis of owner reactions, fathered
during the past year th^Wi'
mailing of over 2,000,000 "<pe?tion
naires to ear owners in all dictions
of the country. A breakdown of the!
data on an age basis makes it possi
ble th. compare the tastes and desires
of youth with those of adults.
"Our analysis, shows that tfiei
younger generation wants a top
cruiaing speed only three and seven j
tenths miles per hour greater than1
that voted for by adults. It is in-1
te resting too to note that the general
subject of safety was stressed more
frequently by youth than by the
I grown-ups, although the point was
frequently made by both groups that
an extra margin of speed and pick
up is essential to safety in coping
?with modern traffic conditions.
"The most outstanding point of
(difference between the young people
.and the adult group is that an over
whelming majority of the boys and
girls want radios in their cars and
it was pointed out over and over
.again that radio equipment makes
for slower,, safer driving. As one
.college chap expressed it, 'Even the
fastest kind of fox trot doesnt Mend
.nicely with a speed' of over 50 miles
an hour?and with waltz - time I
find myself slowing down to 40 or
Mess". , \
? "Youth has always been more inj
terested in questions of automobile
design than older people, and. during
the past S or 4. years our surveys
prove that' this interest is growing
more and more intense. ; Today wq
are getting higher than 40 per cent
returns from some of the lists oj
younger motorist*-to whom we havq
sent our questionnaires. This,, we
believe, is new all time record for
surveys of this character. And a*
further evidencing the growing in
terest of youth in the general subt
ject of motor cars, we have, during
the past 7 months, received requests
for over 100,000 copies of 'The Auto-*
mobile Buyer's Guide' from young
people's organizations, including
Fisher Craftsman's Guild membeis;
Boy Scout Clubs, Y. M. C. A. groups
and in some instances Junior Auto
mobile Clubs, organized for the ex
press purpose of studying automobile
and airplane design.
"One of the most interesting ex
amples of this is the Royal Lion
Automobile Club of Stockbridge,
Michigan, a town of 715 inhabitants.
According to Robert L. Mayer (high
school student?age 16), president
end - founder of this unique organiza
tion, the Royal Lions are .organized
for the purpose of keeping-pace with
scientific progress in - scientific Ame
rica, with particular reference to ad
vances in-automotive design* Through
the cooperation of 1* G. Morse, Sup
erintendent of the Stockbridge High
School, the boys hold - their vwcekly
meetings in the school gymnasium
where they discuss and appraise new
developments in design and cross-ex
amine one. another on constructional
features.
"In commenting ou .tne-acnvny,
Supt Morse expressed himself as
follows:
'A knowledge of mechanical-things
should prove helpful to these stu
dents irrespective of what Jine of
work they may take up in later life.
We are living ina. scientific age and
the modern motor car .provides the
I opportunity, for. the school hey of to
-day to .study applied science in ej
practical way right at his own door
step, an opportunity that -did not
pxist a ; generation ago. No other
product comes so. -fl*qgly .sjwtg>lizing
and epitomizing man.'s progress oven
his physical environment. Directly
and indirectly*,.the-modern automo-:
bile seems . to embody within its
make-up a flavor of all arts, .crafts
and sciences, and a systematic study
of automotive ^^^rOP^nia-to; stimu
late interest on.the part of the boys
in mirh snhfwHa a a apd
physics.' "
"The Royal Lion Anto Club haa
grown steadily ,aince its., organisa
tion some .five or. six.yeftrar ago, until
today the membership jell includes
I "fail I J l" UM? li i ? l< B'l
151 school boys ranging from 8 to 16
years of age^aad inridently, these
boys have cpllectedone of the most
complete, libraries of automobile lite-;
rater* hr existence today.
"When we consider that the future
of the automobile industry, as well
as the^ibturesBfety of . odr streets
and highways is very definitely in
the^ hands of the younger generation,
this kind of movement takes on deep
implications.
"A more thorough knowledge and
understanding of motor car construc
rion and operation makes for saner,
safer and more intelligent driving.
So the deep interest in design, care
and operation of motor vehicles on
the part of present day youth, coupl
ed with their sane and conservative
attitude towards the use of the high
ways, are well deserving of commen
dation and support.
"It is-with these thoughts in mind
that we in General Motors have gone
to great lengths to get the viewpoints
of youth and cooperate with their or
ganizations."
