THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1954 THE NEWS-JOURNAL PAGE NINE o o TAR HEEL .... People & Issues . by Cliff Blue SERIOUS MATTER While we have had able Lieutenant Governors in recent years, to mention only the last three, Luther Hodyes, H. Pat Taylor and L. Y. (Stag) Ballentine, you can bet a round dollar that more in terest will be taken in the posi tion when the 1956 primary rolls around than has been the case in recent years. While top men have won the post in recent years, two years from now you may see top men really going after the Job as if it were the number one po sition. Each of the above named Lieu tenant Governors was well quali fied to step into the top position in case of an emergency. The call came only to Hodges and the whole State appears to be in a greement that he is superbly equipped for the job. Latest name we have heard mentioned as a possible candidate for Lieutentant Governor is Capus Waynick of High Point, former Ambassador to Nicaragua, former State Dem ocratic Party Chairman, former State Highway Chairman and holder of other high state posi tions. With the death of Umstead the name of Kidd Brewer ap peals to be fading from the pic ture, but Terry Sanford of Fay etteville is not to be overlooked or forgotten. SAM ERVIN Sam Ervin's stock appears to have taken a strong rise in Tar Heelia since his speech in the U. S. Senate in which he did some mighty plain talk about Joe McCarthy and his behavior. COMPLICATED The two groups in North Carolina study ing ways and means of water conservation, the Governor's Advisory Water Committee, and a group of North Carolina legis lators are finding the problem knotty and complicated. As far as possible these groups are at tempting to profit by the exper iences of other states where the problem preceded its appearance In North Carolina through the route of recent droughts. Its a big and far reaching problem. At the present time there are but a few sentences of North Carolina law on the statute books dealing with water rights. A commission to study the matter for a couple of years may be the '55 General Assembly's answer. That's what the South Carolina General As sembly did a couple of years ago. GREENE Rep. Harry A. Greene of Hoke County is one of the members of the '55 General Assembly who has been working on the water conservation prob lem In recent weeks. Greene has an idea which he says he has been advocating for years. Last week he carried his proposal di rect to Governor Hodses and Highway Chairman Sandy Gra ham. The veteran Hoke County lawmaker feels strongly that a step toward solving the water conservation problem would be made if the State Highway Com mission would permit its reads and highways across branches and small streams to serve as damr to hold a reasonable amount of water. He argues that with open ditches by the roads and highways that the water is run ning off and heading for the ocean before, it has time to soak back into mother earth. He says that his proposal is practiced in South Carolina. Some of our roads are not constructed so that It would be safe to back water a gainst them, he admit, but he feels that with the Highway De partment working in cooperation with his idea that this can be largely overcome. Greene appear ed encouraged after his visit with Hodges and Graham. READING CLERK We un derstand that Carl Goerch does not want to serve as House Read ing Clerk again and that Ralph Monger, Jr., of Sanford who ser ved so capably until he refused a "draft" two years ago, while he would like to do another stint at it, may be prevented from so doing due to his recent promo tion with the State Revenue De partment. SGT. AT ARMS Last week members of the House were re ceiving letters from "Cousin" C. Wayland Spruill of Bertie Coun ty, veteran lawmaker who lost out in 1952 and again In 1954 saying that he was interesting in serving as House Sergeant at Arms in 1955. He did the job in 1953. He is regarded as a shoo in for the job. ONE WOMAN The 1953 North Carolina General Assembly will have only one woman mem ber, Mrs. Grace Taylor Roden bough of Stokes County who will be serving her second term in the House. GOODWILL Groups seek ing to win favor with the Gen eral Assembly, next to the law makers themselves, like a favor able press, and to this end Thompson Greenwood of the North Carolina Merchants Asso ciation and Tom Outlaw of the North Carolina Motor Carriers Association had weekly news papermen as their guests at the cafe garden in the Sir Walter Hotel in Raleifih Monday at noon pi 'or to Governor Hodges' con ference with the weekly press Monday afternoon. Billed as "Food and Fellowship," goodwill was the object. 9 Hunting Season Can Be Fun Or Targic The hunting season is often al most as dangerous to the hunter as it is to the hunted. County A gent W. C. Williford cautions that with more hunters in the field than ever before, common sense should be the by-word in handling guns and that considera tion of the rights and safety of others should always be observed. He points also o this import ant reminder the true hunter displays both sportsmanship and safety. He knows how to use the riant gun for the right game. He I hunts only in season and does not take the limit unless he can use the meat or trophies. For bird hunting, the hunter takes a trained dog to retrieve cripples. He puts out campfires and cigarettes carefully, breaks matches before dropping them, and in other ways shows that he is "using his head." The County Agent calls atten tion to these "10 commandments" of the true sportsman: 1 Treat every gun as if it were loaded. 2 Carry only empty guns, taken down or with the action open, in to your auto camp, and home. 3 Be sure that the barrel and action are clear of obstructions. 4 Always carry your gun so that you can control the direction of the muzzle, even if you stum ble. 5 Be sure of your target before pulling the trigger. 6 Never point a gun at any thing you do not want to shoot. 7 Never leave the gun unat tended unless unloading it first. 8 Don't climb a tree or a fence with a loaded gun. 9 Don't shoot at a flat hard surface or the surface of Water. 10 Do not mix gunpowder and alcohol. ft Laying flocks in North Carolina laid an estimated 109 million eggs during September the high est September production on record. rtiwtiiffi'Tl 1 nn LEGALS COMMISSIONER'S NOTICE OF SALE North Carolina Hoke County Under and by virtue of the power of sale contained in that cermin deed of trust from James C.
