A BETTER COUNTY- THROUGH IMPROVED FARM PRACTICES VOLUME KODR NUMBER S C. FELIX HARVEY in This young man pictured here has the impressive task of being the third in. a linfe of illustrious C. Felix Harveys and today he carries oh his shoulders a great many of the multitudinous head aches, heartaches and responsi bilities of the tremendous busi ness that his father and grand fathers have built in Eastern Carolina. To those who knew him in' even younger days he still re mains “Sonny” and in spite of the extremely large nature of his present position as President of L. HarVeyand Son Co. he is still best described and best known as “Sonny.” Harvey today has accepted the ' - ' the , _ ibprporation which controls such a big seg ment of this section’s affairs. Being the top man in a con siderable organisation such as he is president of did not come easily to Young Harvey. His nature and his desires are more closely attuned to his one Job that he likes most, dairying. Xf he were not by the force of birth placed in such a spot of respon sibility Harvey has said that he’d rather be running Pinecrest Dairy, of which he la a principal owner, than knocking himself out behind a desk in the prin cipal office of the Harvey Com pany In downtown Kinston. It is always difficult for a young man to step into a spot created and then vacated by an older man who has set up an extremely high standard of work and success. ‘Bonny” Is (me young man who knows perhaps better than any other in this section the hard truth of this bind of thing. Filling his Uncle Leo’s big brogans is a killing JJA UJAOTUVU W* CUUIVVP v* work and planning Interrupted throughout every working hour with decisions that involve con siderable hunks of cash and the Uvea of a great many people. For well over a year now the younger Harvey has been gradu ally growing into those big boots of his uncle. Many today feel that with Ids continued growth Into the. many facets of his fam ily's many holdings “Sonny”, will very likely do an excellent Job of filling those boots and In some respects may be able to do an even better job than his pre decessor who had to spend -a good many of his formative years wrestling with the busi ness while it was wrestling with the depression of the ,30’s. Felix la rushing headlong Into his middle 30’s and his receding hairline seems to contradict hi? nickname, “Sonny-” There is a nbib» nickname applied td Har vey while.be was at the Univer sity oi North Carolina and by -he Stan is known in a great many places. Derivation at this pseudonym is obscured by time and the convenient mem ories of those who dubbed him: “Jeep ” Which is, it might be added, a peculiar tag for a Buick dealer.. Harvey served in the Navy for three rugged years during World War n in which be saw plenty of action in the Pacific area as Captain of a PT.boat. After the worst of the struggle was over he was assigned to crash boat duty at Ocracoke and emerged from the services in 1946 as a Lieutenant and as a married man. His wife, a Pitt County girl, Margaret Little Blount, is a na tive of Bethel. They have one daughter, Leigh. Harvey since the end of .the war has taken a continuing in terest in civic affairs and it was largely through his efforts that the Kinston Junior Chamber of Commerce became the first North Carolina organization to own a home, which has been put to many uses as is known as the Jaycee Youth Center. It Is built on land given to the Jsrycees by Harvev’s company. More recently Harvey has put a lot of time, some thought and a considerable bit of money In promoting a dairy calf chain in Lenoir County among 4-H Club In la with most others at the calling he la usu ally more inclined to remember the ones that got away. "Sonny” la a pretty nice aort of fellow even for a corporation members. appear to be the busl seven counties but president. Ninth 1952 Traffic Death Claims Life of Three Year Old Child Just after six o'clock Tuesday afternoon Three Year-old Mar garet Ann Seymour, daughter of Mr. and Mr*. Claude Seymour of Dupreerllle, oraa walking down the highway near her home with her grandmother, Mr*. Addle Merritt. The child auddenly pulled loose from her grandmother’s grasp and darted Into the path of a car driven by L. C. Capps of Jacksonville. A few minute# later the child died at Parrott Memorial Hos pital before treatment could be started. Coronor Raymond Jarman said Tuesday night that investiga tion of the tragedy had revealed that Capps was not driving fast and that the sudden action of the child forced the accident Into the “unavoidable” category. Pfc. Nelson Gray In Korea With Marines Pfc. Nelson Gray of Trenton, has recently joined the First Marine Division, currently fight ing with United Nations Forces in Korea. Pfc. .Gray, who Is thfe son of Mr. and Sirs. C. M. Gray, Route No. t, Trenton, was assigned to an infantry unit. The Division won its fourth Presidential Ci recently, and has been hi - longer than any organ ization in Miarine Corps History.; Twenty-four Men Get Pay Checks Over Quarter Million in Past Year Budget Commission Has Problem Beyond Budget In Scott-Coltrane Battle AVJ.CUJ.JUUCAO VI U1V rXAJVAOVi y DUU* get Commission are up in the air, State Senator John D. Lar kins of Trenton said this week. Larkins, as chairman of the Senate Appropriations Commit tee, is one of the six members of this group. The thing that has the commission up in the air is the request- made by Gov ernor Kerr Scott for the resig nation of D. S. Coitrane, as sistant director of the budget commission. A meeting held Tuesday mor ning in Raleigh by the group led to the conclusion that the Governor might not be able to fire Coitrane but there was no doubt whatever about his ability to completely-strip Coitrane of all powers, Under the 1035 Act which set up the Executive Bud get Commission the Governor is all powerful Larkins and his as sociates agree. On July 15th the biennial vis its of the budget commission are supposed to begin to all state agencies and Institutions to ac cept budgets from the many de partment heads. Larkins says the advisory group which will very likely be without the serv i Under the act which commission up the chal the senate and house and appropriations are members of the group along ■with two members named by the governor. Scott named Lon. Ed wards of Greene County and Harry Caldwell of Guilford County to the board and Lar kins, Larry Moore of Wilson, E. T. Bost of Concord and Hamp ton Price of Leaksvilie are mem bers by virtue of their legisla tive positions. The governor has full power to accept in full or refuse in full everything recommended by his advisory budget commission and he can, under the law, write his own budget. This could develop into an extremely embarassing situation to the incoming ad ministration which might have to trim huge hunks off of an outsize budget of the type Scott has been accustomed to backing in the past. The group is scheduled to begin its hearing on July 14th and on the 16th it will be at the State Hospital at Goldsboro, Caswell Training School and the Dobbs Farm at Kinston. Be now and the time decis to be reached by however, from all of uncertainty and that Is the likely posalbilty of the commission being con changed by the 195& Assembly.
