Kidd Brewer's Raleigh Roundup NEAR THE TOP—Business con ditions throughout North Carolina during the next four months are expected to be about the best we have ever known them in this area of the south. This is the information we get from agricultural and business ex perts who have made a study of the situation and are watching it develop with keen interest. Fear of a prolonged recession— or perhaps a real old-fashioned de pression — caused suppliers last winter and spring to go slow on laying in heavy stocks. Now they are laying in the goods for fall sales. This should mean that our hosiery mills, our cloth mills, our furniture factories, our synthetic fiber outlets will be humming full time again. Another thing. Our crops have never been better. Tobacco is beau tiful and is bringing beautiful prices. The peanut crop is the only one of our big money plant ing’s said to be not up to par. Even it is looking better than it did a month ago. Corn, cotton, and truck crops are great. So. with what we have on our own—and what we "ill get in North Carolina from the Fed eral Government in new and en larged service camps and from the soil bank and other subsid ies—this State should see real prosperity from now right on through Christmas. We are advised that business people who wish to get in on it should already be well along in their preparations to participate. Those who are too timid, too fear ful, too cautious, may be left at the gate. It is always good to be careful, but the advice we get and pass along is: Complete your arrangements now for unusually heavy consum er purchases in clothing, cars— used cars, particularlv—furni ture. and some of the heavier ap pliances. That means to have the stuff on hand when the cus tomer calls (or it, advertise hea> ilv what you have, and promote with real courtesy, good public relation-, and a fair price. ASSIGNMENT — One of our friends, the popular Charles S. Ed wards of Farmville, makes the September issue of "Reader’s Di gest" (and $100) with this one: “When 1 finished basic training at Fort Bragg I had no idea what kind of job I’d be assigned to for I had been a licensed funeral director and embalmer in civilian life, and at that time all such work was contracted to civilian ficer came through in fine style I was assigned to the Fort Bragg dead-letter office!” ILL. — Harry Horton of Pitts boro, 'or. of the late Mr. and Mrs. \V. P. Horton, has recently suf fered two heart attack' and we un derstand is still in the hospital. His father was Lt. Gov. and ran for Governor in 1940. Horton, a sharp young attorney i> the Democratic nominee for the House from Chatham this time. Since he is only about 38 years of age, his friends are shocked at his illness. Incidentally, he is a son-in-law of Carl Goerch, the husband of Doris. Another son-in-law of the publisher and North Carolina ex pert was in the 1957 legislature. That was Edward Powe of Durham He married Sybil. Powe was first elected to the Legislature in 1954. He did not run this time, preferring to spend a little time building up his law practice.

We decided the Krauts were not as dangerous as you.” Dick was one of the lucky ones near the river. — R— Veterans of Patton’s Third Army thought they were the best—un beatable—and the artillery was no exception. This group, which spearheaded for the Third, bragged that they could hit a standard sized newspaper from 15 miles. "The first shot may be a near miss but the second will be a di rect hit ’’they declared. I took them at their word. What they didn’t say Was that a near miss with a 240 would blow a hole big enough to put a newspaper building in. let alone a newspaper. —R— The next time you use the river road cut-off to West Asheville, stop by and count the window panes in the old Southern Railway roundhouse. You’ll find that there are 0,375. If you don’t believe it, you’ll have to take my word until you finish your count. How do I know? Well, away back I decided I wanted to be a railroad man. I knew a man who knew a man who knew a man and as a result found myself one bright summer morning on the payroll and standing in the roundhouse gawking and trying to decide whether or not the hissing and panting engines were about to ex plode or if the noise was standard procedure. At this moment a man 1 had never seen before but who, I learned later, was the superintend ent, slipped up on my blind side and asked what 1 was supposed to be doing. Told that I had no occupation at the time he “suggested” in a firm ■t tone: “Then go out to the supply house, get plenty of Bon Ami and waste and wash every window in this place. Don’t miss one. I don’t want to see you without a job any more. Start with the two rows on the bottom and wash them h all the way, inside and out.” ^ That’s how I learned how many ^ windows were in the place am: ’’ what convinced me 1 wasn’t cu1 •* out to be railroader. ^ P. S.—I never even got the firsl row w'ashed—inside. It took tot long to count them. MRS. TINNEY WINS ’ PRIZE IN CONTEST ■. Mrs. O. W. Tinnev of Blael _ Mountain, has been named winne of an electric fry pan in the na tional “Housepower” contest spon r sored by Edison Electric instituti in co-operation with Carolina Pow r er it Light company. ,.

Cash prizes total ing $10,000 and more than 1,00' appliance prizes were awarded Eleven winners live in the CI‘&1 service area.

Silhouetted against a backdrop of stormy sky and lightning these two linemen battle the elements to maintain electric service. SILO PLAYERS' LAST— From Page 1 this time with a 10-week instead of a 9-week season, and with a number of sure-fire hits up their 1959 dramatic sleeves. Negotia tions are already under way for next summery repertory of hits to be produced here. Maybe the group does work just a little too hard at giving this week’s audiences (every evening, 8:90 p.m. and Saturday afternoon) a good time. But it’s all in fun— and plenty of fun is had by all on stage as well as in the audience. The James Thurber,-Elliott Nugent comedy, ‘‘The Male Animal,” has its more serious messages, too— for those who like to consider the need for preservation of academic freedom and belief that higher education should be concerned with ideas. "The Male Animal” lives up to its advance billing as being pos sessed of all the insane hubbub of one of Mr. Thurber’s limp car toons translated into three acts of frenzied fun. Not since the ear lier productions of "My Three An gels” and ‘‘See How They Run” has the old former test farm barn, this spring converted into an arena theater, seen such an uproar of sheer farcical hi-jinks. Most of the season’s acting favorites are on hand as participants contribut ing greatly to the fun (Carl Wil liams is missing on-stage, but car ries out his first directorial as signment of the season at the helm of this play, and hence comes in for a good share of the credit for the success of the production). James Hopkins and Thomas Bent ley not only handle their roles with the able aplomb audiences have come to expect of them on all occasions, but the former is also responsible for the effective setting's, and Bentley for the cos tumes which illustrate very vividly that clothes not only help in good measure to make plausible the wo man—but the man, as* well—par ticularly if youthful dramatic tal ent is putting across a varied as sortment of characters ranging from a graying, well-heeled chair man of the college board of trus tees, to a tweedy professor and his wife—and the flashily fashion able wives of successful old grads. Marcia Leigh, Burt Edwards, Elaine Hunter, Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Bentley, Frank Loverde, Mary Gonzalez, Glenn Hill and Tinka Crawford are due congratulations for the competence of their inter pretations in ‘‘The Male Animal.” It is good to have them all togeth er in this week’s finale—and to have opportunity to add another measure of applause for the sus tained level of their interpreta tions throughout the season. They are joined this week by Dan Bly of Asheville, well known in theat rical circles there, who was a co actor with Miss Crawford in “Thunderland” for a season, and by Thom Stutt who adds a walk on part, as colorfully-garbed drum major to his usual duties as prop erty man. Seen only off-stage through the windows of the cubicle where he presides over lighting effects, etc., is Charles Parmelee, whose unseer hand has ably guided things tech nical for the Silo productions all season. All of the group deserve —and at their opening Mondaj, evening received—a big, apprecia tive hand. May it be loud anc sustained enough to bring them al back again—to provide anothei summer’s steady diet of good plays and good fun for theatergoers ir a widening area radiating out fron the local birthplace of North Caro lina’s newest summer theater— Black Mountain.
