Raleigh Roundup By Eula Nixon Greenwood DRAGGING HOME — Like old coonhounds limping in from an all-night hunt, the legislators hit the trail for home last weekend. Many of them — particularly those on the House side of the Capitol — had given up the chase several days ago, and at leas: one of them barely got here at all. On the daj- prior to adjournment fewer than 100 of the 120 mem bers of the House of Representa tives answered to the roll call. INCIDENTS — One member of the • Legislature, Senator Joe Blythe of Charlotte, died during the session, and Senator Rex Gass of Winston-Salem was ser iously ill most of the time. Probably the saddest incident in the House occurred just as Rep. l/ A. Martin of Davidson finished one of his vigorous speeches against liquor. He had hardly sat down when he and Rep. J. V. Whitfield, of Pender were asked to lead a House mem ber—and one of the most prom inent and ablest men in the Leg islature—from the hall. RUMORS ARE FLYING — Until all the Kerr Scott appointments are in. you will be able to hear almost any .kind of rumor regard ing the appointmept of this man or that woman to a position in Raleigh. Any strong man in any county—and prior position or prominence wiU not be a prime consideration—is a possibility. The list is as long as your arm and the list of the places to be filled on boards, commissions, and what-have-you is little shorter. So, the best advice is to be pre pared for anything. I The rumor still persists here, however, that 'Jonathan Daniels, j Democratic National Committee- I man. and Gapus Waynick, State I Democratic Chairman, will vacate ■ these positions by midsummer. I Also keep an eye on Assistant ! Agriculture Commissioner D. S. , Coltrane, Charles Parker, George Ross and Bill Hatch, all of Ra leigh, John Barnes of Clayton, Joe Crawford of Winston-Salem, W. B. Austin of Jefferson, Dr. R. E. Earp of Selma and Julian Alls- brook .of RoanoTce Rapids. Watch this space for other important Scott names. BY AUGUST 1950 — The beUef among some of the conservative leaders here in Raleigh is that a special session of the Legislature will have to be called between now and August, 1950, for the purpose of raising taxes, etc., with which to meet appropria- tiohs which were made by the recent Legislature. could vote on the road bond issue of $200,000,000 and the school bond issue of $25,000,000. Ybu may expect several similar meetings to be held throughout the State between now and June 1. Baptist Church in Newton, was appointed State paroles commis sioner last Saturday. A report on his experience and training was carried in this corner two or three weeks ago. NO RAISE YET '— Teachers and all State employees — except a group of 900 Employment Secur ity Commission officials and wor kers all over North Carolina — have received their bonus and re troactive pay. These ESC people are still going around in circles, meantime keeping an eye on Con gress. They will get that 20 per cent raise just as other State em ployees have, but their S;tate- Federal status makes it necessary that the funds for the raise be made available by Uncle Sam and not by North Carolina, which granted the raise! A TRADE — Ed McMahan of Bre vard wrote Bob Deyton of Ra leigh a month ago that he would like to sell Deyton his Brevard residence, which, incidentally, is- one of the most beautiful homes there. You see, Deyton is leaving his job as assistant director of the budget to go with Ecusta and will live in Brevard. Now McMahan is coming to Raleigh as a. member of the Utili ties Commission. It looks as if Ed might trade his home in Bre vard for Bob’s home in Raleigh. That an idea, anyway. NOTES — Several members of the Legislature, digging their hands into empty pockets on the day of adjo^nment, vowed they would not be candidates for the General Assembly next time — Etiren Jiimey of Statesville is scheduled for a firing when his term on the N. C. Industrial Commission expires May 1 —^ If Rep. John Umstead and the school forces had not fought so hard to spend that reserve fund of $30,- 000,000 right now for further school teacher raises, they would have gotten most of it eventually, anyhow, for it was set up to pre vent declines in salaries of teach ers and other State employees in hard times —; Now $25,000,000 of it has been allocated for school ■buildings $250,000 per county), and the teachers lose accordingly — W.

This fitted in splendidly with their study of geography. We are delighted that the pupils had this,opportunity to get first hand knowledge of Mexicc% and South America, and appreciate Miss Blue’s contribution to their coiirse in geography. We are sorry to report -the death of J. W. McKenzie. Mr. McKen zie was an uncle of MSs Margar et McKenzie,, the efficient secre tary and bookkeeper for the Board of Education. Miss McKbnzie is most popular with everyone she has to deal with. We are sure her many friends, both in and out of school circles, win sympathize with her in this loss. B.

Lewis urged each Section Chairman to get his committee together before the Clean-Up week starte and lay plans so that his entire Section will be covered by some particular person. -O- THE KICKOFt — On Tuesday, April 26, at 11 o’clock in the Ag riculture Building the first of a series of meetings on the road and school votes was held. Governor Kerr Scott mimeographed a large number of letters, made the names and addresses look as much like the mimeographed portion as possible — the personal touch — and sent them flying about the State within hours after the Leg islature had fixed it so the people See these other features, too!

THE WAY UP — Way to quick promotion: bet on the right poli tical h'orse and stick with him over the hurdles'. Of the six men chosen for importrtit State jobs here last week, five — Paul Oliver of Robeson County, Dr. H. L. Trigg (Negro) of Raleigh, Josh James of Wilmington, Ed Mc Mahan of Brevard, and Claude Ferrell of Elkin — were newcom ers to big-time State politics and their names meant nothing to old- line North Carolina political lead ers. This may wrtl be regarded as a compliihent ot them, but it also indicates that their spheres of political influence have here tofore been on a local plane. AND WELCOME — By the Way, Josh James is known by merch ants and farmers throughout the southeastern part of the State where he was for a long time a feed and seed inspector under Agriculture Commissioner Kerr Scott. When his former boss an nounced for Governor, Josh hit the road and did well for his man in pro-Johnson territory. Now he comes rto an $8,300 position. Had McMahan been given betr ter support in his law practice in Brevard, he would not be leav ing there. He’s a good, depend able fellow, the State’s leading Lion, but somehow he was not able to get going as he wanted to in his profession. Now, many a lawyer in this State would be glad to exchange jobs with him. had a picnic at the ball park yes terday. testing visitor- Tuesday to Mrs. terting visitor Tuesday to Mrs. Earl Robinson’s and Mrs. Snead’s rooms.

The pupils in the club and the director have been working long and hard and should be supported in their work. 0 MORE ABOUT \ Names Committees Charlie Morrison, Clarence Lytch, H. L. Gatlin, W. C.

Hmts To Farm Homemakers Get ready for the canning sea son! A pressure cooker is a valuable piece of" equipment - it saves time and fuel, there’s much less dan ger of losing .food, and the high temperature obtained in the pres sure cooker* destroys harmful'bac- teria found in the foo^ It is also a good time for the homemaker to check on her sup ply of lick and rings. If the bands from two-piece closure were re moved and stored jh a dry place, they will be ready for this sea son’s use. Bands left on jars often rust and may be ruined in re moving them from the jar. The next thing to check on is the supply of jars. If the boiling water canner is no longer usuable, it’s time to begin looking for equipment "o replace it. And if the home e- quipment includes a boiling water canner but there’s no rack for it, now is the time to have a wooden one made. A rack allows the water to circulate freely around the jar. Much more even heat is given the jar by using a rack than using cloths or newspapers under jars when boiling in the boiling water canner. ^ There are small pieces of e- quipment that make canning eas ier, such as tongs, jar lifters, and jar. fillers. When cutting cookies for bak ing, arrange them on pieces of waxed paper, cut the exact size of the baking sheet. Then as each batch of cookies is baked and taken from the oven, it can be removed, paper and all, from the cookie sheet. Just as simply can the next batch be placed on the sheet. This procedure saves time, and also makes it unnecessary to grease the baking sheet. EDUCATORS — Claude Farrell, new member of the State Board of Education, lives only 35 miles from, old-member Santford Mar tin, of Winston-Salem, who was reappointed. Claude, a former teacher, knows his education on the local level and will enjoy his frequent Thursday trips to Ra leigh. He can meet with the boys and then do as they always do; saunter across Capitol Square for lunch at a long table at California Restaurant. Dr. Trigg will have to eat elsewhere. Farmer Paul Oliver will main tain the rural touch on the Board. Alonzo Edwards of Greene Coun ty, who is going off, is president of the Farm Bureau.

Thirteen years of Satisfying Sales and Service! Phone 322-1 Raeford, N. C. ONE BILLION — Remember only ffi few years ago when people ' whistled and said: “Just think this State is now spending one million dollars a month—every mon',h!” Those, dear, dear days. Now we are approaching that magic figure, one billion dollars. In fact, if the people vote the $25,- 000,000 for school buildings and the $200,000',000 for' roads, this General Assembly — which Gov ernor Scott kicked and lambast ed as being “economy-minded”— will have paved the way for spending $652,000,000. It actual ly spent $427,000,000. Scott still has at least one more Legislature — probably two more - coming to him and thus it should be relatively easy for his administration to reach the one- billic.n-dollar figure. He only has $448,000,000 to go. *Heating and ventilating system optional at extra cost. THERE’S A CHEVROLET TRUCK FOR EVERY JOB . .. with capacities from 4,000 lbs. to 16,000 lbs. G. V. W. !
