Roundup
BUSY — During the first week
end in October, Attorney General
Malcolm Seawell made a total of
three speeches.
His activities are being watched
with sharp interest hereabouts—
and with some surprise. Seawell,
who several years ago was asso
ciated with Edw'in Gill on the
State Paroles commission — and
who is the son of an associate
justice of the State Supreme
court—is acting like a candidate
for something.
They say around here that no
body. but nobody, makes so many
speeches and other public appear
ances unless he is interested in
running for something. Seawell is
in great demand. He tells a good
story. So. what's he up tot1 Well,
our guess right now is that Sea
well. realizing he is not as well
known state-wide as some others
who have been in the limelight
longer and more prominently,
wants to be sure he can cut down
to size anybody' who might decide
to go after his attorney general's
job two years hence.
That is his first project. Only
time will tell if lie has another
motive in mind.
AT THE OFFICE — Although
long regarded as one of the wet
test counties in the state. Wake
does not have as many beer tav
erns as its thirstiness might lead
you to think.
Without knowing for sure, we
would say that more than 50 per
cent of its beer and wine is sold
at the grocery stores.
Legislators who have been here
—and others who visit Raleigh with
any regularity—are familiar with
old landmarks like Forty-Second
street, the Windmill, and Rusty's.
But an old hangout changed its
name a few weeks ago. This
place, situated diagonally across
from Hayes Barton Baptist church
on Glenwood avenue is called "The
Office".
We would say that a lot of
thought and not a little experi
ence and general savoir fairc went
into the naming of that tavern.
Think about it. The boss had a
hard dav. he goes by this tavern
about 5:00 o’clock. His wife waits
dinner for him. He eases in
solemnly about 7:30. "Where on
earth have you been'?" she asks.
He replies with straight face and
good conscience: "At The Office".
Some dark, rainy night he gets
bored. He rises from his easy
chair, stretches and yawns a lit
tle. "Honey", he says, reaching
for his coat and hat, "I'll be back
in a couple of hours. I've got to
run down to The Office."
I've never been there myself,
but I hear on good authority that
this particular tavern has better
than doubled its business since
changing its name from "Hayes
Barton Soda Shop" to "The Office".
AUTUMN — The Oct. 6 issue
of "Sports Illustrated", the new
Timely publication recording Life
and Fortune on the sports front,
features the Outer Banks of North
Carolina.
This article, very interestingly
written. clips along over a total
of nine pages. The cover picture
and a two-page spread, also in
color, tells sportsmen throughout
the nation about this “newly acces
sible treasure house of waterfowl
and fish".
We read, turn through, and
otherwise examine most of the big
magazines being published in
America. For our money, we
would say that ‘‘Sports Illustrat
ed". the young weekly in the stable
of Time. Fox-tune. Life and Archi
tectural Forum, gives North Caro
lina more good publicity than any
other three magazines combined
‘‘Sports Illustrated" is one of
the sprightliest magazines publish
ed in America.
NOTES — It is an ironical thing
that everybody in North Carolina
except the slate itself is now re
quired by law to carry liability
insurance—Incidentally, we heard
on good authority last week that
Walter Jones of Farmville. whc
was chiefly responsible for the
liability- act in the 1957 I.egisla
ture is determined to run fox
Congress two years from now. —
And he may be opposed by Jack
Spain or Incumbent Herbert Bon
ner—or. more likely, the both ol
them.
Word reaching us from the lOtl
District is that even Dave Clark -
best friends give him little chance
of unseating Republican Charles
Jonas in November—but Dave is
really getting around the district
First it was a special session ol
the Legislature to prepare the
salons for the real thing—then it
was a caucus to get organized anc
thus save time the first week ol
the session. As of last week it wa:
neither—and odds now seem to be
that the legislators will come tc
Raleigh as per constitutional pro
vision: on Wednesday after the
first Monday in February.

REFLECTIONS—
From Page 1
citizens of the communities who
make it possible by their generous
support.
Everyone was proud of the
bands of Owen High and North
Buncombe High school as they pa
raded up and down the field last
Friday night. Watching them, was
hard to realize that just a year
or two ago we had no such organ
izations in the county schools. The
program will improve in the fu
ture.
—R—
Blue Ridge Conference
Sentiment seems to be grow
ing for the Buncombe county
schools to pull out of the Blue
Ridge conference and form their
own—or rather to place more
emphasis on the local organiza
tion.
The BRC has never been very
strong in any sport except foot
ball and county school support
ers are coming to realize that
this is only a small part of the
total program. There are many
problems to be worked out be
fore a final decision is made.

Duke In Big Time
After watching the Fighting
Illini from the University of
Illinois play the famed Ohio State
eleven off its feet on television
last Saturday, I have a high re
gard for the Duke Blue Devils who
defeated Illinois, 15-13. the week
before in Durham.
Of course, when the Big Ten
teams lock horns you can toss all
the pre-game dope-sheets out the
window. They settle the issue on
the field, not the sports page.
I thought for a while that we
were about to see one of the major
upsets of the year, but the steady
pounding of the 230-plus Buckeye
line told in the late stages of the
game.
We'll be watching this Saturday
as Duke goes against one of the
nation’s best at South Bend. A
win for the Blue Devils over
Notre Dame would definitely
stamp them as big time, for sure.
LOCAL FIRE ASSN.—
From Page 1
strong suspicion that the firemen
are being made the goat in a con
gest that makes little sense. The
state-wide repercussion that could
occur with a decree against the
firemen’s pension and the other
plans, could seriously affect every
one in the state." it was stated.
Discussion also said: "To date,
more than 2.200 firemen, repre
senting almost 150 departments all
over the state, have paid more than
S155.000 to the fund in little more
than a year, in the expectation
that a return of S50 per month
after 30 years of unrewarded ser
vice might be forthcoming. It is
difficult to find a parallel case
of so much being given for so
small a return It is significant
that the firemen themselves fin
ance the fund in two ways—their
contributions and the purchase of
a considerable amount of fire in
surance.
"It is our opinion that the Gen
eral Assembly acted properly when
it created the firemen's pension
fund and the claims of injury and
wrong to the insurance companies
are not substantiated by the in
creased insurance and better fire
service it could bring about by
continuing to exist for the benefit
of the firemen."

unusual ability to assemble a
wealth of material, organize it for
teaching, and present forcefully its
■spiritual truths and challenging
calls to action was clearly demon
strated. Each of her assistants
gave interesting help. A delightful
fellowship period came at the mid
day luncheon hour. But for the 25
people present for the day. the
missionary emphasis and Christian
outlook impressed upon their
hearts by Mrs. Perry was the nev

Thursday evening. Mrs. Oswell
Smith gave an interesting- program
on “The Philippine Islands”.
