This reporter collided with Sale
here and there on several occasions
and was always struck by his COM
plete lack Of the kind of Rabelaisian
wit so many attributed to him. Sale
was a conservative, simple, cautious
man. His outspoken and earthly COM
ment on matters tabooed in city par
lors were topics for commonplace and
almost genteel discussion in the back
ground that Ere duced him.
He was always, I think, little sur
prised that his treatises on everyday
problems of his home milieu should
shock and move to laughter the citi-
fled and tinicky folk who later gave
him renown. He may have become
somewhat self-conscious about the
trick after it had brought applause
time after time: but in the beginning
his minicing was implanted and naive
and essentially remained that way.
1t is significant that when the mo-
ton pictures first tried capitalizing
on Sales slightly scandalous fame,
they thought of him as a brash hay
seed comedian, a sort of Mutt to
Bobby Clarke's Jeff. He did not fit
this characterization and his last
parts were invariably those of gentle
and wise small-towners, the suspen-
dered, hard-headed, self-respecting
and self-supporting men who used to.

politics before the days of radio.
Like John Barrymore and so many
others, Sales original ambition was
to be newspaper cartoonist. But the
long trail of the vaudeville jumps to
fame soon claimed him. He even at
tempted as late as 1880, to do a daily
newspaper column for the old New
York World, modelled on the Will
Rogers pattern, but it did not quite
jell. For one thing, Rogers expressed
sophisticated, even intellectual ideas,
in the jargon of the cracker-barrel
philosophers. But Sale was homespun
to the warp and wool; he did not, for
a metropolitan audience, quite jell.
He was, decided the city slickers, too
good to be true; undoubtedly he was
literatus in velvet smoking jacket
writing with tongue in cheek.

May Simplify Social Act.
There is a possibility that the task
of the General Assembly in dealing
with social security legislation may
be greatly simplified by Congress, in
that Congress may make a number
of material changes in the Federal
law, Mr. Hoey said. He pointed out
that the Social Security act was en-
acted very hurriedly by Congress in
the closing days of its winter session
and that it is generally conceded that
a number of chances need to be made
in portions of the act.
There is no doubt, however, that
the people of North Carolina are ex-
pecting the new General Assembly to
enact an old age pensions law, so that
the State can share in the Federal
old age pensions allotments and I am
confident that such, AN act will be en-
acted" Mr.. Hoey said
Amendments Not Mandatory.
Admitting that the adoption of the
new Constitutional amendments has
added greatly to the work the Gen
eral Assembly will have to do, Mr..
Hoey said:

is nothing in the amendments which
makes it mandatory for the General
Assembly to do the limit under each

is done depends entirely upon the
