GREENWOOD (Crowded put Last Week) TWO VIEWS. . .Has Wake Forest College done the right thing in letting down the bars for Negroes to attend that in stitution ? The majority of the Baptists in North’ Carolina would doubtless vote a ’ resounding “No”. The pastors of the Baptist churches in North Carolina say, just as vigorously, “Yes”. A lot of questions are brought up by the decision, one of them being: .“Does Wake Forest Col lege represent the Baptists or the heads of Baptist churches?” The college, everything con sidered, had little choice but to integrate. Since before the days of Dr. William Louis Poteat Wake Forest has been known as a truly liberal school. Not : liberal in the political sense necessarily (which is a breed of Liberalism all its own), but in various ways. While a lot of friends of Wake in Raleigh—and they are legion here —are sure the old school j has taken the high road history ‘ has paved for her, they worry that the decision to enroll Ne groes could interfere seriously with certain sources of income so important to the future , growth of the college. Schools which bow blindly to wealth die. . . spiritually. And that brings up the question of the definition of “growth” . . .what is it? That’s where we came in: see the question we opened with above. Integration troubles have all but closed one college—Ne gro too. SERIOUSLY ILL, at Rex ‘Hospital here is Mrs. Claude F. Gaddy, wife of one great men North Carolina has produced, educationally, this century. He headed Baptist ed ucation, was formerly Raleigh Schools superintendent. As of this past weekend Mrs. Gaddy was unable to have visitors. H and fear was expressed she might hot recover. Like husband, Mrs. Gaddy is a nativs of Union County. No finer peo ple than the Gaddy’s exist-any where. DIFFERENCE . . .This for mer Yankee got tired of the corny old insults we Southerners toss at folks' from the North. Finally he put us in our place by this: “Well, as a matter of fact, I think I’m a better Southerner than you are. You came here by birth. I came here by choice.” COMMUTER. . .Such a man is James G. Morton, who has just been appointed special as sistant to Federal Highway Ad ministrator Rex M. Whitton. Morton is a North Carolina resident who formerly was vice president of American Weekly, Sunday newspaper insert. . He has commuted by private plane to Nags Head from New York and Washington every j week for years so that his family might have the benefit of living in North Carolina. In his new capacity, Mr. Mor ton will be in charge of public affairs and information at the Bureau of Public Roads, U. S. Department of Commerce, and one of the hundreds of as sistants to Sect. Luther Hodges. A DRAFT? . . .The buildup of Dr. Beverly Lake for Gover nor in 1964 continues apace There is apparently no off-sea son for supporters of that man YOUR VOTE AND SUPPORT for W. STANFORD WHITE COUNTY COMMiSSEONER CROATAN TOWNSHIP Will be greatly appreciated. —Subject to May 26 Democratic Primary— QUALIFICATIONS ★ 25 years business management in Dare County. ★ Served as Chairman of Welfare Board ★ Active on several committees for advancement and growth of Dare County. I seek this nomination on the endorsement of the people in my community to serve them and all Dare County to the best of my ability. THE COASTLAND TIMES, MANTEO, N. C. —leven though he personally does not seem to be doing a great deal to encourage it. Friends and foes alike of Lake agree on this: he seems to be bearing down much, much less on the colored issue—-and more and more on his conservatism. : Meantime, supporters are work ing to sell Lake as the “only j Democrat who can beat Jonas in ‘64”. This is going to take quite a 'bit of selling in some areas— | and they ain’t 500 miles from j the Mansion either. But it is still an open question as to how much power the Governor will have among Democratic quart ers two years from now. Other than Lake, the Democrats don’t seem to have a candidate as yet. If things along that line don’t improve markedly within the next 18 months, don’t be sur prised if President Kennedy 1 and Governor Sanford join . hands to lead a draft of Luther 'Hodges in 1964 as the man most able to keep North Carolina in the Demoratic column. P. S. Should it happen, don’t forget where you saw it first If it doesn’t, just forget it. THAT’S DIFFERENT . . . Last Saturday afternoon we were taking our maid home. Her place is just across the street from an apartment (white) settlement. As we pulled to a stop in front of her house, I noticed four neatly dressed little girls—three white and one colored—playing prettily in an apartment yard. “Now isn’t that nice how those little girls play together that way”, we commented. “Ho, ho, ho”, she laughed, shaking all over. “That ain’t no colored girl. No ma’m. She’s Chinese. One over there a whole lot darker than she is,too.” FROM THE EIGHTH. . . Since Lee is the Eighth District county closest to Raleigh, we get most of our word-of-mouth reports of the Kennedy-Kitchin affair from that area. * Reports drift in that Kennedy in his appearance in Lee a few days' ago spent too much time criticizing Congressman Kitch in for what he had Not done and far too little time discussing what HE was going to do if and when he got in. Since this comes from people who ordi narily would be expected to lean to Kennedy, the criticism has some merit. LARGEST?. . . The current issue of “Southern Advertising and Publishing”, Atlanta month ly edited and managed by Gar land B. Porter, has 218 pages, mostly advertising. Porter’s folks are from Kernersville (father) and Elkin (his mother was a Cockerham). He at one time edited the State News Bureau; worked on the W-S Journal; and was a UNC class mate of Thomas Wolfe, Jona than Daniels. Ad money ap parently rolls Porterward these days. . the result of hard work, talent, experience, and N. C. background. NOT A WORD. . .The man who writes some good editorals in tire Laurinburg Exchange, a paper which became well known for them in the long editorship of the late O. L. Moore, got in to the food tax business the other day. It came about this way. He had no doubt been hearing a lot of cussing and discussing of the item here and s there since it went into effect last July 1-and he asked for letters to-the-editor comment. He re marked that he is not particu larly in favor of the tax, but wanted to know the feelings of his readers. Well we, for one, wanted to observe the thinking of the people down In Scotland County, for there is where Gov. Terry Sanford was raised and where his parents live. A day, two days, three days, and a week went by and no letters. Not a word. Perhaps the people down there against the tax can't write—) if so, all the ! more reason for it) —but in any event no letters came. The editor ran a squib, an nounced the results of his food j tax letter quest, and moved on to things of greater moment. May be there is no interest ' either way. . .or that the letter- I writers were behind with their spring planting. STILL AROUND. . .Last week in one of those “looking backward” columns, (which we always find more interesting .than the looking forward ditto) we noted how ten years ago May 2 Gov. Kerr Scott began lambasting his budget director, D. S. Coltrane. It was in 1952 — last year of Kerr Scott’s term in office—and a 35-year friend-! ship had come to an end. Scott accused Coltrane of penny-pinching, holding up his program, etc., then he forthwith fired him. But the man who as Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture from 1937-47 made it possible for Commissioner Scott to be out with the people refused to be fired,. The Governor insisted. Coltrane sat tight, said “noth ing doing”. He found that he - had been appointed for a four year term. Scott friends love it, but the 4 reasons to replace now with a NEW QUICK-RECOVERY ELECTRIC WATER HEATER < o Kto4R ,“>ss ' 5 —-—v. * *r ; ' ‘ ’’ '"• : ■ < • i x • - : r v Sfojt g 1 < x ’:■■.•• I ■ x: :x x”-^>* W ■ .. ; < ■< ’i' : ' :•• vw-S . • \ 4 k MM I B | •■• IMHMHn gMS.

Columnist Lynn Nisbet, no body’s fool then oh now, wrote about as follows: “Don’t worry about Coltrane. It’s blackgum agin hickory this time.” It was, too. Gov. Scott found he could stop Coltrane’s pay. .and he did. But, fortunately, Mr. Coltrane had a little money saved up. • . and so he served for most of 1952—until the remainder of Kerr Scott’s term—without a cent of pay. These are facts. When the 1953 Legislature came to town-and Gov. Scott had gone back to Haw River— one of its first acts was to pay D. S. Coltrane his back salary. The strong, dynamic, hard driving Kerr Scott went on to the U. S. Senate, ever the fight er ever the leader, never looking back. But blaggum, like hick ory, is tough, too, and D. S. Coltrane looked after the State’s purse strings for Governors Umstead, Hodges, Sanford, and last week the role of chairman of the Advisory Budget Com mission was added to his list of duties. Almost ten years to the day after the blast by Ken- Scott. THAT FIRST LETTER. , . Mead Johnson & Co., makers of a product used in weight loss and control, has written some of the papers using this column (now being run in 38) protesting the way. we used the name of that product. If you recall, we said that before 40 it’s wine, women, and . song, (we had , heard) and after 40: “Metrecal, 1 same old gal, sing along with I Mitch.” J. T. Lanahan, assistant counsel' for Metrecal manufac turer, writes: “We recently had Called to our attention an article appear ing in the April 5,1962 publica tion of the News entitled “Cap ital Clipboard” by Eula N. Greenwood, in which reference is made to our very well-known trademark, “METRECAL”. “Although we have no objec tion to (and, indeed, we are pleased by) anyone’s proper use of our. . .trademark for our brand of dietary for weight loss [and control, we are concerned ! when any improper use is made ’of our. . .mark. “You will note in the second column, second paragraph, of this article that the first 'letter of the word. . as not capitalized and that the word is used in a generic sense. When our mark is used in publications or art icles in an improper way, it loses its distinctive trademark qual ity, and if such use is not care fully policed, we could lose all right to this valuable asset. Ac cordingly, we request that when our trademark is used in the future, it be capitalized, spelled correctly (Editor’s note:we spelt it correctly) and not used in a plural or possessive form. “We would appreciate your calling this letter to the atten tion of the proper parties and are completely confident that you will understand the spirit in which it is written. Your future cooperation will be greatly ap preciated.” Well, folks, that’s the letter. Some of the papers forwarded it on to us. The laboratories which compound the product are in Evansville, Indiana, so the papers of North i Carolina get around. My husband got me into the trouble. He told me the o riginal story, said that Druggist George Royall (former mayor of Elkin) had told it to him at Raleigh’s exclusive Sphinx Club. And that’s the way it goes. . .
