PAGE TWO NOT OUT YET . . . Not since the death of O. Max Gardner several ' years ago on the eve of his em barkation to England as U. S. am bassador to the Court of St. James has this State been as devoid of a political leader as it has been since the sudden coronary attack of U. S. Senator W. Kerr Scott last week. There are hundreds of smart political minds in the State who would deny vigorously that Ken- Scott was in the political fore front. Well, he is the only man living in North Carolina who has been both Governor and Senator. He is the only ex-Governor of the State living. He is the only man living who has served a full term and retired from the office as Commissioner of Agriculture. He is one of the few North Carolinians living who has never been defeated for political office. But, despite all these things— these really outstanding accom plishments—Kerr Scott would tell you himself he is not a political leader. Within hours after his at tack, they were saying that his political career was done, finished. It may be—and so he can at the relatively tender age of 62 sit down on his vast Alamance County acreage and become an elder statesman, an advisor, and a sort of father confessor. They were saying you could count Kerr Scott out in the race for the U. S. Senate two years hence. This, it was reported, would leave the road wide open for Gov. Luther Hodges, who is said still to have aspirations in that direction. Could be. But Kerr Scott, as he lies there in that Alamance Coun ty hospital with nothing else to do, is doing a lot of thinking, plan ning, and figuring. He is well fix ed financially, or is so regarded, and he likes to roam the fields of home. But he also likes a fight. And nobody should make the mistake of supposing that Kerr Scott is out just because he is down. We will believe he is not a candidate to succeed himself only when he says so himself—and not before. SECOND VOLUME . . . Volume II of “A New Geography of North Carolina” is now ready for distri bution. Written by Bill Sharpe of State Magazine, this volume covers 26 counties. You thus now have avail able two volumes of unusually readable North Carolina material. The Chapel Hill News-Leader says: “It proves what we have always suspected, that beneath its humdrum exterior, North Carolina is a strange and romantic state.” Write Bill Sharpe at POB 2169, Raleigh, for further information. THE VETO . . . Speaking of Bill Sharpe, he has an interesting little editorial in the April s—the latest —issue of his magazine, which is this year celebrating ts twenty fifth anniversary . He points out that “North Caro lina’s governor is the only one in the nation lacking the power to veto legislation.” In other words, the President, and the governors of the other 47 states can by failing to sign, pig eonholing, or otherwise giving it a kick, block legslation not to their liking. We are reminded that a “consti tutional amendment is proposed to giive him (our Governor) this power.” In Sharpe’s way of thinking, this is a good thing. He says: “We have heard some objections to it. But in thinking back over the governors of modern times— the last 30 years or so—most North Carolinians will agree they’ were able and conscientious execu tives. We don’t think any of them would have used the veto power unwisely or selfishly. And in some instances, the threat of veto un doubtedly would have curbed or improved legislation.” SIGN OF TIMES ... For the first 30 years of this century, North Carolina had two U. S. Sen ators. During the second 30 years it has already had 12 U. S. Sena tors. The most active man in the U. S. Senate is Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson. About two years ago he nearly died with a heart attack.

F.Whitney of Fayetteville landed a channel bass with rod and reel in the surf at Cape Hatteras Tuesday afternoon according to re nort from Rany Jennette at Bux ton. The fish, first channel bass of the season for the Dare Coast, was reeled in on 20 pound test line loaded on a Mitchell spinning reel. Witnesses of the catch stated that the fish measured 44% inches. Its weight was not obtained as Mr. Whitney released the fish after it had been measured. Earlier this week a commercial fishing crew hauling in the surf at the Cape landed three channel bass according to Alfred Gray who was surfcasting without results at the time of the catch. Channel bass and other varieties of fish normally caught with rod and reel during early April have been reluctant to take bait or lures so far, due to unusually cold waters.

GLIMPSES OF TH E PAS T By CAROLYN LLOYD v , ' “Buy,” said the President. “Buy what?” asked the report ers. “Buy anything,” said the Presi dent. That, he said, is the remedy for recession. Now that is downright comfort ing. Here most people have been worrying because they were not taking the advice tp save given by banks, insurance companies and others; and ail the time they were just being patriotic and helping the country out of a recession. It is a little confusing, though. If the average wage earner keeps buying until he has exhausted his cash, who is going to help him out of his personal recession? He has nothing to sell, so the system of reciprocity doesn’t work for him. This recession has some queer as pects, anyhow, to a generation which experiences a real depres sion. At present several labor groups are striking for higher wages, when what they are already earning seems like good salaries to most people. Twenty-five years ago people were looking for jobs at any wage; and, according, to news reports, many are doing the same thing today. While some are on relief, others strike for higher pay. It may make sense to the economic professors, but not to me. There was one thing to be said for that old-fashioned depression: when money was scarce, prices went down accordingly. With what little money orie had, one could get his money’s worth. It is a strange thing that with people out of work, prices of the necessities of life continue to rise. Somebody has some money, though. If you don’t believe it, just turn on T.V. With a little bit of luck, as the song goes, you can win an oil well, all kinds of mer chandise, or fabulous sums of money. If you can’t write jingles or answer questions, you can try one of those sob sister programs, where, in return for telling your troubles to a credulous world, you might be showered with gifts and sent on a trip to far-away places. Somehow, I hate to count on that method for myself, having never won anything bigger than a box of candy. At least, come the de pression, I shall have the satisfac tion of knowing that I did my pa triotic duty and “bought” All I will have to worry about is pay ing the bills.
