April 11, 18, 25; May 2, 1957. As the Legislature continues to go around in financial circles, var ious roads out of the woods arc being suggested. So, don’t be sur prised if package deals on the best approach to the problem soon be gin making their appearance—as they did two years ago when buds began appearing on the big oaks surrounding the Capitol. As a matter of cold, hard fact, the State now has a surplus of 60 million dollars. That’s the way we figure it. Of course, if we reduce taxes coming into the State, the anticipated revenue won’t be enough to provide teach ers with the 19 per cent increase they want. But—if we leave the same taxes in force for the next two years that we now have in force—then we can get along fine—providing we have no depression. It was Gov. Charles B. Aycock a half-century ago who said some thing to the effect that “equal— equal is the word.” It may be that the word “local” ■will become the call of the future —rather than “equal.” As argu ments move from day to day, the need for more local help seems to be the thinking of some portions of the State administration. The State would continue to pro vide the basic foundation, but the extras would come from city and county finances. Remember how we got hot about four years ago over executive ses sions of the General Assembly com mittees, etc. It was a great issue of the day. And you had to take sides one way or the other or you were a coward. Now what has be come of the argument? As far as we can tell, the Leg islature is running about as it did about 25 years ago when we saw our first one. What happened to the big whoop-to-do of four years ago ? Two years ago ? Why not now? We still have a lot of secrecy. We won’t report their names here, but two new lobbyists came to town the same day last week. And, being freshmen in the busi ness, they wanted to make friends fast. One was from Charlotte, the oth er from Norfolk, and they met and became fast friends for a cou ple of days—becoming members of the Mutual Admiration society. Know why they got along so well for a few hours? It seems that each of them thought the other was a member of the Legis lature. The April 1 issue of Time Mag azine devotes a half-page in its “The Press” department to North Carolina’s Harry Golden, publish er of Carolina Israelite. See last week’s column of Ra leigh Roundup for the same stuff referred to in Time. It carries a picture of Golden, big cigar and all. Having' been rather closely as sociated with athletics all my life practically, I find myself boosted and crestfallen, kicked about, and elevated by games, their outcome, and the attitude of the public . . . toward the schools . . . and their players. For instance, last week I was disturbed that the former Duke player, Dick Grant, may be traded off by the Pittsburgh Pirates just when it begins to look as if they are going places. I am discouraged that Dickie Hemric doesn’t seem to be getting in the big games with the Bos ton Celtics. I suppose he is still with them—but I haven’t seen any thing of the big boy—-that lad with legs like stovepipes—in the papers of late. In the big game Boston had with St. Louis last Saturday, Dickie didn’t get into the fray. Then, also, 1 was peeved as all get-out when one of our favorite television stars, stone-faced Ed Sullivan, brushed the appearance of the Great All-American Lennie Rosenbluth off so casually when he presented the stars of the na tion the night after Carolina had taken the great, Kansas. Thus, I was deeply gratified to read what our Rockingham writer, Ike London, had to say about the incident in a letter to one of the daily newspapers. “Ed Sullivan missed the boat in last Sunday night’s broadcast. He introduced Lennie Rosenbluth along with the other 11 All-Americans but seemed to pointedly omit men tioning that Rosie was on the Carolina team that Saturday night had won the National collegiate championship in basketball. “Which causes me to wonder what would have been Sullivan’s reaction had Kansas won! “Chances are he would have lugged 7.2-foot “Stilt” Chamber lain to the front of the stage, and with arm around the giant Negro’s shoulder expatiated to the world on what a great victory Kan sas had won and what a great player Chamberlain is. “But Carolina won, and he had no occasion to shoulder out the “Stilt” with arm-circling admir ation.” All we can add is: Hooray for Ike Londbn. NOTES — The current (April) issue of “The North Carolina Club woman,” official organ of the N. C. Federation of Women’s clubs, is the best number they have is sued—and the prettiest—with four color cover! North Carolina lost two veteran newsmen last week in the death of L. J. Hampton of Hamptonville and S. T. Henry of Spruce Pine— and one more prominent than eith er of these lies desperately ill. Good Democrats in the House this time are giving able David Clark, 34, and a fourth-termer • n o i.'i'.y. every oppor m, this session of gislatim . • Know why? 11 ey like hi:n . . . and see a- a good candidate to throw’ ag, 1 si Republican Charles R. . ona in the tenth—next time— or in I960. 1 nother sharp young man in this year's Legislature is Pat Taylor, son of the former Lt. Gov.—of Wadesboro One of the highlights of the Governor's week will be his attending a little to-do at the N. C. Education Assn, offices here Thursday evening.. . . 100th birth day of teaching profession in N. C. Yes, the Bones McKinney job in Raleigh turned out to be that of head coach of basketball of the Deacons in Winston-Salem . . . and the story was broken first here in the Raleigh News and Ob server. There are two reasons the North Carolina income tax withholding bill introduced here last week is not expected to pass . . . One: em ployers now have about all the deducting they can do with their present force . . . Two: each time there is a deduction, there is less carry-home pay . . . and more dis satisfaction on the. part of the employee . • • But, sooner or lat er, it will pass. Wonder what Governor Luther Hodges and John Larkins talked about on that trip to Mount Airy early this week ? Good thing for the Democratic Party when their two top men get together for trips and conversation. And so this old professor ask ed the bright young students gath ered about his knee a question of logic. He wasn’t a merit system pedagogue—but, somehow — man aged to get along, as he had for four score years. He asked this question: “How far can a dog run into the woods?” “We don’t know, teacher,” they replied, almost in unison. The professor looked off into the distance where millions of oak buds were graying the forest—and then he answered his question, thusly: “A dog, my little brats, can run only half-way into the woods. Af ter that, he is running out of the woods.” They laughed fit to kill. The legislature has—theoretic ally at least—reached the half way mark with its 1957 session. From here on, it will be running out of the woods. Pages employed for the first half of the term worked their last day on Friday, April 5, two months after their employment. Legislators now receive pay for 120 days—four months. This week literally millions of dollars will flow into the N. C. Department of Revenue: income taxes for 1958. There will be thousands of taxpayers who will postpone their payment, thus ad ding interest to what they owe and eventually making the State a lit tle richer. True patriots. But, by and large, as some fel low said, the big money will be in the till by Monday night, April 15, at midnight. Then the account ants and the IBM machines in the Revenue Department will join hands in a mad scramble to give the Legislature in general — and the Joint Finance committee in particular — information on how we are doing. This data used to be available on March 16. But Uncle Sam rpoyed to April 15 as final paying date; North Carolina did the same; and that’s why the Legislature convenes a month later than formerly. So, when the income tax figures are in, you have the beginning of the end of each session of the General Assembly. When will it end? Our guess is that the session will not run later than Saturday, May 25. Length of the session depends to a great extent upon the attitude of the Governor. So far, Gov. Luther Hodges has not shown him self to be a stubborn individual. He has stated firmly his opinions —but has compromised when see ing he was in the minority. His entire popularity, the length of the session, and the future po litical strength of at least a dozen men in the legislature are being brought into sharp focus this week as we move out of the forest . . . toward summer and peace. If you are close to Sen. W. Kerr Scott, you have received already —or soon will—a copy of one of the hottest little books, and it’s not so little at that, entitled: "Adres ses and Papers of Governor Wil liam Kerr Scott.” It came out a few days ago and is making the rounds. One choice item in it is the great letter Senator Scott wmote Old Friend D. S. Coltrane. Mr. Coltrane had been one of North Carolina’s champion fertilizer salesmen. In 1936 he resigned this job and gave his whole time to campaigning for W. Kerr Scott for Commissioner of Agriculture. In return, Commissioner Scott in ear ly 1937 made him assistant to the commissioner. Many a person saia he had more to do with the actual running of the N. C. Department of Agricul ture than did W. Kerr Scott. Be that as it may, there was a time when his salary as assistant was right on a par with that of Com missioner Scott. He worked like a dog ... in the office . . . and Kerr Scott almost as much . . . out on the road eating barbecue, making speeches, and generally building the prestige of the N. C. Department of Agriculture. When Kerr Scott became Gover nor, he made D. S. Coltrane assist ant director of the budget. But Dave Coltrane had a mind of his own and didn’t gee-haw with Gov ernor Scott all the time. He had not when he was in the Agricul ture Department. On June 6, 1952—during the last months of his stormy four years as Governor and within a few days after William B. Umstead had beaten down Scott Man Hubert Olive for Governor, Kerr Scott wrote this letter to D. S. Coltrane: “Dear Coltrane: “In view of the events and con ditions that have developed during the past two years (Ed. note: Scott had felt that Coltrane was too conservative, was giving too much comfort to the enemy and too much love to Umstead), I find that your usefulness as my assist ant in administering the affairs of the Budget Act has been hamp ered. “It is my earnest desire that the program of this administration be carried out to the final day of my term of office. To do this I need the full cooperation, loyalty, and Mrs. L. McMahon Is Re-Elected PTA President Mrs. T.att McMahon was re elected president of the Owen High School PTA at a meeting held at the school last week. Other of ficers are, first vice-president. Gordon Greenwood, second vice president, Mrs. Sam Alexander; secretary, Mrs. Fred Higginboth am; and treasurer, Mrs. Chester Sobol. The officers will be installed at the May meeting. Moie than 100 patrons were present for the chicken dinner which was served in the school cafeteria prior to the meeting. Special guests were members of the eighth grades in the Black Mountain and Swannanoa schools and their parents. The students received information and instruc tions from N. C. Shuford, Owen High principal, as to what is ex pected of them when they enter high school next fall. The program consisted of a fam ily life group discussion which was highly praised. Those participat ing were Mrs. Roy Taylor, 0. M. Alexander, T. W. Nesbitt, and Herb Coman. Mr. Coman’s sum mary of the conclusions reached was especially enjoyed. History of Park Service Is Told Park Ranger Robert Howe of the Park Service, guest speaker for the Junior Home and Civic club, gave a history of the park service and showed a film in glorious col or featuring the different seasons along the parkway, at the March meeting held at Camp Rockmont with Mrs. George Pickering, Mrs. Harold Boger, and Mrs. Henry Pittman as hostesses. Mrs. S. S. Cooley talked briefly on Girl Scout work in Black Moun tain. The club voted to sponsor a Brownie troop. Letters from the teachers at the primary and elementary schools were read, thanking the club for their thoughtfulness in honoring them. Work is progressing on the Fin er Carolina project, that of pro viding visual aids for the primary school. Members present were: Mrs. Dempsey Whitaker, Mrs. C. J. Wil son, Mrs. Stanly Bennett, Mrs. Sue Faulk, Mrs. H. 0. Austin, Mrs. William Senn. Mrs. Pickering, Mrs. Pittman, Mrs. Boger, Mrs. H. L. Lackey, Mrs. William Klein, Mrs. Ben Ivey. Mrs. D. C. Ham by, Jr„ Mrs. Jack Gilbert, Mrs. Dan Espey, Mrs. G. C. Carson, Mrs. Blan Aldridge, Mrs. James Buckner, Mrs. Everette Stephen son, Mrs. Alvis Osteen, and Mrs. Sallie Long. assistance of every department head, therefore, I do not believe it will serve the best interest of this administration for you to re main as assistant director of the budget and I am requesting your resignation immediately.” Well, Scott’s assistants — one in particular—thought D. S. Coltrane would roll over and play dead. He did roll over, but that’s all. Those around Raleigh who knew Dave Coltrane best said: “He is as tough in his way as Scott is in his’n. It’s black gum against hick ory.” And that it was. Coltrane said nothing doing. He found the law was in his favor, that his job ran through Scott’s term of office. The Governor then stopped his pay. Some doings. That didn’t bother Coltrane. He kept plugging, had plenty to live on, and a fine wife to help him out. The Governor fired Paroles Commissioner Dr. T. C. Johnson and Motor Vehicles Commissioner L. C. Rossor: Johnson on June 2, 1952, and Rossor on June 15. D. S. Coltrane is still on the job as assistant director of the budget, serving under his third Governor. He finally got his pay. But a few days ago when Sen. W. Kerr Scott came down from Washington to Raleigh to auto graph the book, Dave Coltrane wasn’t around expecting to get a special copy. A long-time friend ship had been a long-time dead. Scott has gone to greater glory and is making a name for himself in the U. S. Senate. Despite his extremely bitter feelings of 1952 and the rough campaign to unseat A1 Lennon in 1954, he is probably more popular now than ever be fore. Governor Luther Hodges is stick ing around home pretty closely these days, confining his speeches to North Carolina environs . . . and as close to Raleigh as possible . . . Keep an eye on Mecklenburg County’s Freshman Representative Frank Snepp as a political comer . . . an attorney and smart . . . Trading stamp legislation is ex pected flare up almost any day now in the Legislature . . . Soon coming out of the Governor’s side office last Friday: Tom Pearsall of Pearsall Plan fame, Joe Branch, the Governor’s liason man with the legislature, and Paul Johnston, the Governor’s administrative assist ant. As a general thing, school kids coming to Raleigh waste their own time and their parents’ money in visiting the legislature. They are marched in, very quietly and mannerly, but they have not the slightest idea of what is going on down there on the floor and really got a false impression of how law's are made. House Speaker Dough ton, sensing this, has tried to give little explanations for the kids ben efit as debate or readings pro gressed—but for the most part this seems futile—and the visitors might be better off behind their desks at school ... In general, there seems to be too much gali vanting around . . . too much ath letics, probably . . . too many plays and entertainments . . . too much night stuff . . . and not enough solid work and study in our North Carolina school system these days. Wanta argue the point? Cordially yours. Look Who’s Here! A daughter was born April 2 in Memorial Mission hospital to Mr. and Mrs. Richard L. Holder of route 1. , Mr. and Mrs. W. R.

"When the situation became . serious early Friday morning the ( families were removed from their homes. At that time the houses were surrounded by the rising waters from the Swannanoa river. Fortunately, it did not reach the first floor level. The The disaster chairman to day called attention to the coopera tion which is necessary to have a plan that will work when needed. ' “The disaster plans are set up ! for the protection of citizens in 1 this area. At the first signs, of j any disaster the committee quick- J ly makes a survey of the situation, ^ with the rescue and evacuation r committee following closely, if needed. Standing by are the oth er committees, mass feeding, shel ter, medical, clothing, and others 1 which will become active in their respective places.
