"RALEIGH ROUNDUP”
MORE WORK _ MORE DANG
ER . . . One of the “oldest rats”
in the Democratic Party was talk
ing the other day. “More work
been done by the’present Admin
istration .to attempt to strengthen
the party, than has been done by
any Administration since the days
of Max Gardner," our friend said.
“And yet*, he went on, “Our
Party is in the greatest danger it
has ever been.” He continued, “We
can’t blame the Republicans for the
failure of the recent bond election.
All you have to do is look at some
of the eastern counties where there
are practically no Republicans.
These counties went ^against the
Administration.”
Our friend went on to point out
that the people are fed up with big
sounding names such as, “Quality
Education,” “Higher Education,”
“Reorganization,” “Study Commis
sions,” “Watch Dog Committees,”
and a raft of others. He. says the
people feel for example that doubl
ing the size of the Highway Com
mission will double the cost to the
people.
He also said, “We can’t go on
reorganizing the state government
every two years. All it amounts to
in the long run is added costs to
the tax payers, and they are fed
up.” He ended by saying, “If we
had an election today, the State
would go Republican.” This was
strong language coming from one
of the oldest policital rats in the
Democratic barn.
SPECIAL SESSION ... The
feeling among the old timers around
capital square is that the Governor
has been getting bad advice on the
matter of the special session of the
Legislature. As one old timer put
it, “It appears that the Governor
can’t take ‘no’ for an answer.” A
lot of people point out that a large
percentage of these who vote don’t
care about such things as quality
education. As a matter of fact the
compulsory attendance law is the
only thing keeping a lot of folk’s
kids in any kind of school today.
LT. GOVERNOR ... We under
stand that C. V. Henkel who ran
second in the past Lt. Governor’s
race will not challenge Attorney
General Wade Bruton’s opinion that
an election is not required to fill
this office made vacant by the death
of the late Cloyd Philpott. We un
derstand that in the event an elec
tion should be called for that Dave
McConnell who ran third in the
race, would run again, and if elect
ed would seek to be reelected for
a full term.
EXPENSIVE . . . Some one point
ed out that it cost the State over
$350,000. to conduct the recent bond
election. The expense of a special
session of the Legislature, and an

other bond election would run the
cost close to a million dollars in
an attempt to raise an estimated
thirty million dollars. If success
ful* it would Be expensive. If the
second try . failed the State would
be out another million dollars.

OVERHEARD . . . “Luther Hod
ges create^ the position oh Direct
or of Administration for the pur
pose of riding herd on the various
agencies of the State in order to
effect savings through more ef
ficient operations. Now, Terry San
ford has replaced the Director of
Administration and put the former
Director in charge of riding herd
on the Director of Administration
and the vaious agencies to see that
they affect savings land operate
more efficeintly!”
The natural reaction is to wonder
if the next Governor will create
a position for some one to see
that the . . . Oh, well, you get
the idea.
SOBERING THOUGHT . . .There
are not as many people who envy
Nelson Rockefeller as there were
a month ago!
RALEIGH HIGH ... The Raleigh
High School football team won the
State Championship over Garinger
of Charlotte hands down last week
and now some folks are saying the
Raleigh Caps are the best high
school football team to ever play in
the state.
A lot of people would say that

the Asheville team during the time
of Charley Justice was the greatest
team in these parts. They not only
defeated every thing in the state,
but beat most of the high school
teams from Washington to Miami.
It is true that the local team was
good, but the word best is not to
be used lightly.
MODERN TREND ... The trend
.of selling is through clubs, churches
and other organizations. Last week
I went to the hardware store and
they were selling fruit cakes, my
favorite service station was selling
candy for the Retarded Children’s
Fund, the milkman was delivering
doughnuts, various neighbors drop
ped by to sell me brooms, light
bulbs and cookies. Soon the bak
ery will be selling gasoline, the
service station will be selling ... it
will be a mess.
