FARMVILLE EVERY DAY! FABMVILLE, PITT c JULY 9, 1948 By Sola Nixon Greenwood LET ISM HAYS IT! There was nearly as much activity in Scott headquarters in the Carolina hotel here last week as daring the cam paign. - As it tamed oat, everybody was for Kerr Scott for Governor, “and I just thought I would conn by to wish him well.” On the night of the sec ond primary, two men came into the ballroom where the returns were, flooding te the Alamance gentlemen and said they had been for Scott all along. However, they had forgotten to remove their “Johnson for Gov ernor” buttons. Scott’s associate manager, Capus Waynick, should be the next chair raan ' of the State Democratic Execu tive Committee—-if he wants it. And he began wanting it early last week when he learned suddenly that hie wasn’t being considered for the posi tion. LIKES HORTON, BUT — Gover nor-nominate Kerr Scott likes the present chairman, Wilkins P. Horton of Pittsboro, bat Capas Waynick, na turally, ranks first in Skott’s prefer ences. Another filing, Waynick said when he joined the Scott organisa tion that he wanted no State job, and would not accept one. So you see, he is -an unusual person right there. He still says he will not take a State job—even though he left a ?12,000-a year job with the Reynolds Founda tion to go with W. Kerr Scott Since the .chairmanship is ail he wants— and wants that only to protect the man he helped, nominate for Govern or—he should certainly have it. And, furthermore, will get it MANAGERS—Governor R. Gregg Cherry’s manager was W. B. Um stead, who became U. S. Senator; J. M. Broughton’s manager, E. B. Benny, is now an associate justice of the State Supreme Court; Clyde R. Hoey*s manager, Hubert Olive, was made a Superior Court judge; but the manager for J. C. B. Ehring hans, L. P. McLendon of Greensboro, who supported Kerr Scott this time, place on the State sjupreme Court and refused it He was the last of this type until Waynick came along. NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN — It is known here that Joe Blythe of Charlotte, national committeeman, supported W. B. Umstead for the U. S. Senate, If is thought, also, that he was for Charles M. Johnson for Governor. However, despite these two losses in one season, he is likely to remain as North Carolina’s national committeeman. You would think that Winner J. M. Broughton and Winner Kerr Scott would have the say-so here, but the delegates to the Nation al Democratic Convention—the majo rity of them at least—will probably side with Blythe. Kerr Scott hasn’t shown any preference In this matter. He isn’t too much interested.in all this political jockeying for position except as it might affect his legis lative program. COMMOTEEWOMAN — Miss Beatrice Cobb of Morganton is al most sure to be moved out of the na tional committeewoman’s position. Regarded as an Umstead-Johnson supporter by Broughton arid Scott, her chances to remain in her present post are indeed slim. She became national committeewoman in 1936 during, the Hoey-McDonald-Graham free-for-all. ' NEEDS ATTENTION—Sitting at his he me in Alamance county on the Precautionary me,.,".. z. __ of polio have been minted and issued a bulletin by Dr. 0. DnvidGarvin, district health' officer of Chapel Hill. Dr. Garvin, in cooperation with University of North Carolina offi cials, has had the entire Victory Vil _-i— g - J 1, .awlnrl mmKQj OCCUpicu oy and their families, sprayed 1 and bulletins issued on precautions to be taken. ' Dr. Garvin, who took a course in the diagnosis end treatment at polio last spring at the Knicker bocker hospital in New York, drew up the fallowing list of precautions: 1. Avoid unnecessary contacts with groups ami crowds, especially in doors. 2. There is no advantage in going away, chance of exposure is greater if you travel. — 3. Continue your normal activities. 4. Treat every fever not readily explained as poliomylitis and go to bed. ’ 5. Don’t take medicine for protec tion. Do not use gargles or drops. 6. Avoid fatigue. 7. Avoid use of contaminated ter. 8. Avoid insult to mouth, nose and wa throat.' - 9. Kill flies. 10. Don’t get panicky. ' ___ Dr. Garvin pointed on* that Dr. Charles Armstrong of the U. S. Public Health Service has demon strated that “approximately 71 per cent of the adult population have had poliomylitis experience without hav ing known about it. This means that 71 per cent of adults have developed some immunity to the disease. “Dr. . Philip Stimson, specialist with the National Foundation,” Dr. Garvin went on, “states that for every 1000 persons exposed to the disease, 45 will have the disease in such mild form that it will be dis* regarded or passed by as a minor illness. Only three persons of the 1000 win have enough symptoms to be diagnosed. Of these three cases, only one will have any type of resid ual paralysis.” N. C. AUTO CENSUS UP 28%; STATE NOW RANKS HTH . North Carolina, with its bile population up 28.3 per cent since 1944, ranks fourteenth among the states in recovering from the war time low in car registrations, Powel Crosley, Jr., lightweight car manu facturer, points out. 1 “Such a gain in the Tar Heel state is partly traceable to important shifts of population in recent years from the industrial east, midwest and gram states to the south, southwest agd Pacific Coast,” he said. “North Carolina appears not only to have benefited from this trend but also to have improved the economy of its people.” Motor vehicle ownership in this state rose from 597,228 in 1944 to 766,284 last year. Baaed on recent census figures, there is one passenger car for every 6.03 persons in North Carolina. TRANSFERRED W. C.

Mar shall is in almost hourly touch with European representatives in the tense situation growing out of the Berlin blockade. Furthermore, the biparti san American foreign policy spring ing from the twin crisis of the Ber lin blockade and the Marshal Tito Moscow schism is being preserved by keeping Republican congressional leaders informed on State Depart ment moves. Secretary Marshall disclosed these matters at a press conference, the first he has held for some time. He explained that discussions soon will begin with Great^Britain, France, so-called “Van^fohb^V^tt^ution,, adopted by the Senate before depart ture. r:. r; v The Vapdenburg Resolution is a statement of policy under which the United States might underwrite the proposed “United States -of Europe” by military or other aid. Secretary Marshall declined to give correspondents any hint of what strategy the United States is devel oping with Britain and France in meeting the most pressing problem, the Soviet blockade in Beilin. He said the State Department is .keeping in close touch with Senator [Arthur H. Vandenburg (R) of Mich igan, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and with Rep resentative Charles A. Eaton (R) of New Jersey, Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. This follows a statement by the Republican nominee, Thomas E.
