do you think?
HKALTH.—Gov. Luther Hodges
says he s going to behave himself
a little better from now on.
We had a long item about him
hen- last week and referred to ed
itorials which have been written
advising the governor to take it
easy.
Last Thursday—on the same
day our column comes out in a lot i
of papers -reporters at the press
conlerenee heard the governor tell
of linding a framed editorial on
nis plane _ when he boarded it in
Asheville Thursday morning. The
editorial was to the effect that the
■ oil should not work its governor
.00 hard.
‘1 think it’s good they’re sny
>B it. It’s guod advice—and I’m
». ig to take it.” said Gov.
Hodges.
HOW’S THAT AGAIN, KERR?
enator W. Kerr Scott has clone
■lore than ail'’ other living man to
I ;> ill North Carolina out of the
mud. He did it with a multi-mil
■ . .on-dollar bond progra .1 which the
’ilc .. '.opted overwhelmingly in
i 1949.
This road program has probably
i meant more to North Carolina
i than any other one thing we have
done in the past 20 years. Had it
not been tor llo.uing bonds, we
could never have accomplished it.
These 12,000 miles of rural roads
■vi'l be paid for in 1969.
Last week somebody asked Kerr
•Scott about the administration’s
proposed $40 billion bond program
’or new highways- about the pro
ject which could mean as much to
...- nation as Kerr Scott’s program
a to the state.
He said—or was quoted as say
i.g and hasn’t denied it—-he was
.gainst the program. It is not
needed, he staled, “for roads that
•.v'll be worn out by the time we
i pay .or them.”
Our state roads may be worn
out by the time we get them paid
for in 1969, but they are out there
-thanks to a Scott who wasn't
afraid of bond programs in 1949
-and it is u to the state to keep
them in good condition.

T M ERC E RECOMMENDA
il I0«S* ~ 0n iast Thursday, Ro
Mount Chamber of Commerce
■Manager Graham Dozier and other
representatives of the N. C. Cham
oer of Commerce Executives asso
cmtion, visited the governor, the
-V C. Citizens association, and two
or three other offices here to feel
out sentiment regarding a State
Cnamber of Commerce.
The report of their findings may
not be available for some time yet,
>ut they came away from the Ra
leigh meetings with advice that
the services which a State Cham
ber of Commerce would perform
: re already be ng rendered by sev
eral agencies and organizations al
ready in existence and doing a
pretty good job.
Chief result of their visits here
could be a recommendation to the
governor, to the 1957 Legislature,
or to both, that the N. C. Dept, of
Conservation and Development be
strengthened and perhaps be di
vorced in some way from politics
—or changes brought on by poli
tics.
That s a hard—if not impossible
—dose to swallow. But the cham
ber of commerce executives are
sincere in their efforts. They feel
that a good job is being done by
the Dept, of Conservation and De
velopment, but consensus seemed to
be that it needs streamlining and
more independence.
Those on the Raleigh visit were
Dozier, Glenn Taylor of Albemarle,
and James Glenn of Charlotte.
HAYFEVER: A lot has been

new methods. One is an electronic

many of the well-known electrical
appliance companies, and accord

90 7c of the dust and pollen if pro

of this rather new development,
