By EULA N. GREENWOOD MAJOR OR MINOR. . .In |he old days at Wake Forest College — when it was situated in. Wake County — there were no cafeterias, only boarding houses. The most famous ^ne of this century was op erated by Miss Jo Williams, Surry Counity native who still lives in • the.town of Wake Forest and op erates a nursing home.* / In the late 40’s she operated a new' cafeteria at Wake Forest. Soon most of' the boarding house's -were gone. Now the most popu lar, and newest, eating establish ment at Southeastern' Baptist Sem nary, which; moved in when Wake found it’s what’s up front that coupts, is another big cafeteria. And, believe it or not, it is op erated by a firm which lists it self as: The Prophet Company. DOWN TO EARTH. . .It doesn’t make any difference what he wears, he never looks “dressed up.*’ Not that he ever wears one, but a new hat always looks like a comfortable ' old worn-out one on him. He nb dojjbt combs . his hair daily—possibly ■ several times — but that sidewind er cowslick ik always there. He makes friends easily, because one feels at ease with him. - He seldom evfer seems to get excited, never seems in a shirt bearing hurry, but turns out loads of work.

MPWAY SUNDj making an enemy. Fair-minded with no bombast, but doubtless burning with quiet ambition . . . A pretty good personification of the hpnest, grassroots, Lincolne sque country press, a man who never drinks^ never smokes, nev er raises his voice, and who ap parently eats only enough to- keep body and soul together, Clifton Blue of .Aberdeen i will make an excellent Speaker of the House. He should at any rate, for he has* been a faithful member of that body since being elected to it in 1946. A man with a slow/ lazy smile and a keen sense of humor, Blue ivyill firmly rule with velvet glove the rough-4nd-ready boys of the? House. ; , PUNCH. . .He locfks youngef, but Gifton Blue will be 52 on Aug ust 28. He is president of the N. C. Press Association. He just never loses a political contest in which he is personally involved, it seems. Many of us who kept up pretty well with the Speakership . race from the time it started a y.ear ago between him and Tom Wood ard of Wilson could nevfer see the latter as winner. Blue. always seemed, to have,, the best we coiild count, from, four to ten votes more among the KO House members. Now, after Speaker, what, Mr. Blue ? It coifld be Gbngress in 1964 if Kitchin wins in the Eighth this ‘fall (as we have predicted He will) and it could be the U. S. Senate by appointment. . . . of possibly the Governor’s Mansion some time. Clifton Blue has a way with him, make no. mistake about it, or as one of his opponents in the recent Speaker’s race put it in Raleigh this past weekend: “Behind Blue’s velvet touch is dynamite punch.” HOW THEY VOTED,, . . Since January 1, 1058, we have had 66 school bond votes in this State. Voters approved 55, turned down 11. Of the total of six, local and State, held since last Novejnber 1, we have approved one, turned down five. GUIDE. . .We saw the other day official statistics — if there is such a thing — which showed that a, $100 debt on open account (no mortgage) is worth' only $90 at the end of two months; is worth only $45 on the average at the end of one year; $23 at the end of two years; $15 after three years; and is worthy only $1 after five years. Someone has said'that “time is the refuge of the debtor.” Maybe that is one reason several counties are now preparing credit guide books giving in code letters the rating of all customers in the county. We can see a large per centage of people having their cre dit cut off when the books are distributed. NOTES.,. .You 1962 high school graduates. . .and adults as well. . . are advised by G. W. Johnson of the N. C. Department of Eduea ition, to check with your local high school principal or an experienced local teacher BEFORE agreeing to sign up on ANY correspondence course. Most of them are reputable, but many are not . . Our favorite Raleigh daliy said Sunday that Gordon Greenwood, kinfolks and publisher of Black Mountain News, is sure to get one of the top committee posts (Fi nance or ' Appropriations)5 from Good Friend Clifton Blue. . . Why cities sometimes suffer po litically (governmentally): Both Charlotte (with John P. Kennedy, local resident) and Winston-Salem (with Wl Z. Wood, local resident) had the opportunity. . -.and th« votes. . .to become Important in Congress. . .but let Paul Kitchln.of little Wadesboro and Ralph Scott of littler Danbury take them to the cleaners. . .votewise. Big cities seldom furnish our Governors. . .The last ten have come from these places: A. W. McLean (Lttmberton); O. Max Gardner (Shelby) ; J. C. B. Eh ringhaus (Elizabeth City); Clyde R Hoey (Shelby); J. M. Broughton (Raleigh); R. Gregg Cherry (Gas tonia) ; W. Kerr Scott (Haw Riv er R. F. D.); W. B. Umstead (Durham); L. H. Hodges (Leaks ville); and Terry Sanford (Fay etteville). / Our two U. S. Senators are from: Morganton and Saxapahaw. Big cities where are you?
