Preyer Ahead In Straw Vote
I.nCRANGE L. Richardson
Preyer came out ahead ol his
two maor opponents for the May
fO Democratic nomination for gov
(rnor by North Carolina in a re
c lit .‘raw vote survey just com
pleted by PAB Publications.
In the impartial survey, the
pnal tabulation this week of the
500 ballots showed Gubernatorial
Candidate Preyer gamering 56
percent of the total ballots. I.
Beverly Lake was marked on 28
percent of the ballots, with Dan
Moore receiving 16 percent.
In the racp for lieutenant gov
ernor, Scott received 68
percent of" the ballots marked,
with H. Cl'fton Blue getting 25
percent and John Jordon seven
percent. •'
The ballots were distributed
over a five-county area in the
heart of Eastern North Carolina
■in the area covered by The Week
ly Gazette, LaGrange; The Greene
County Ledger, Snow Hill; The
Chronicle, Pink Hill and Bulaville,
and Town and Country News,
which covers Wayne County and
portions of Duplin, Johnston, and
Wilson Counties.
In taking the survey, no indivi
dual was permitted to mark a
ballot when his or her decision
on the governor’s or lieutenant
governor’s race was known in ad
vance to the reporter taking the
survey.
Paul Barwiek, editor and pub
lisher of the four publications
listed above, said: ‘lt was our
intention to take this survey of
the people on as impartial a
basis as possible. We Tjeffeve tfiia
has been an impartial survey. Ip
was also our intention to take
this first survey before any of
the candidates for governor or
lieutenant governor had an op
portunity to do much campaign
ing in the area we serve.”
No ballot . was marked after
February 10 for this particular
survey.
“We realize that surveys Ire of
themselves/the opinions of a few
people,” Barwiek said. ‘‘This is

The one on top Is a world famous legend.
The one below It Is the same legend redesigned Into an all new station 1
wagon. \
It has the deluxe Interior appointments and comfortable ride of a fine
passenger car . . . carries six big adults plus more luggage and equip
ment than you can Imagine. It's powered by America's only automotive
overhead cam engine, the high torque Tornado OHC ... offers optional
extras such as automatic transmission, Independent front suspension,
power steering and power brakes. But the all new Wagoneer Is really a
‘Jeep’ vehiole at heart. '
The ‘Jeep’ Wagoneer goes up steep hills, over rough rugged terrain
and through snow and mud that leave other cars helpless. And around
sllppsry turns that oause flshtalllng and skidding, it hugs the road with
traditional ‘Jeep’ traotlon. j
The big reason Is 4-wheel "Drlvepower."* All four wheels are power
wheels Instead of Just two. TaKe a demonstration drive soon. You've

taken within the next four weeks

Jr Letter To*The Editor—
Dear Editor:
I was very much interested in
the account of Mrs. Giles’ visit
from the flock of evening gros
beaks. It can be quite an experi
ence. Two years ago, during one
cf our heavy snows. I looked out
my kitchen window one morning
and the small tree nearby seem
ed to have bloomed. There must
have been at least twenty five of
the beautiful yellow birds which,
as I had never seen them before,
I had to identify from a book on
birds. And a cardinal perched
puietly on the topmost branch as
astonished at the unusual sight.
' After they had demolished the
food on my feeding, tray they
flew away but were back next
day and for several days follow
ing. Others reported seeing them
too.
I have seen only two this win
ter though I hear others have had
them in large numbers. I under
stand they are fairly common in
! Asheville. Miss Gertrude Ramsey
has mentioned them several times
in her col mn in the
Citizen-Tin* s.

I The grosbeaks are lovely to
1 1 look at but I prefer our more
usual birds, the cardinals, mock
ing birds, wrens, chickadees, tuf
ted tlmice, song sparrows and the
rarer white crowned and chipping
sparrows. Some, seen more rarely,
are the towhee, a handsome fel
low in his black coat, red vest
and white shirt front, the nut
hatch and the Junce are usually
seen only in snowy weather. The
wood,peckers are always with us.
And my favorite, the ruby crown
ed kinglet, a tiny bird who looks ,
something like a miniature mock
ingbird at first sight. A pair of
them have practically lived at
my feeder this winter but only
■rarely have I seen the vivid red
spot on the head of the male that
gives him his name. He conceals
it at will apparently. Blue jays
and house sparrows'are not among
my favorites.
Spring and summer brine! back
many others and we who love
birds mourn the passing of the
bluebirds.
Tlhcde who have never tried
feeding the birds and watching
them would find it an interesting
thing to do besides helping to
save these small creatures so
helpful to the farmer and garde
ner.

Wilkie Randolph 'and A. J. Tho

herds recently, according to E. L.

Chairman.
The Extension Office made ar
rangements with the Catawba

cate some springing Holstein hei
fers from some of their highest
testing herds. Some of the dams
of the heifers tested as high as
20,000 pounds of milk.
Mr. Randolph and Mr. Thomas

, ments without knowing anything
j definite about the records of the
sires and c ams before that re-.
suited in great disappointment;
and financial loss.
Dillingham sad that where
you study the DHIA records of
the ancestors, see the individuals,
and talk to the owner about his
management program that you
are about as sure as you can be
about what kind of heifers you
are getting.
