Raleigh, Sept. 4.-Lieutenant Gov
ernor-to-be Reg Harris has been even
more tight-lipped than Governor
nominate J. M. Broughton about the
identity of his l94l appOinteeS, if any
such degree Of silence is possible; but
in quarters regarded as reasonably
close to the next No. Tar Heel there
is talk of Senator Clark for chairman
of the l94l Senate appropriations
committee and Senator Lin Ballen-
tine of Wake for head of the finance
committee.
When your reporter says Senator
Clark" he does not mean the best
known legislator answering to that
title-because cousin Willie" from
Edgecombe is likely to get about as
much consideration from Harris as
would Churchill from Herr Schikel-
gruber.
Senator J. H. Clark, from Bladen
county, is the man in mind. He was
a member of the 1887 Senate, get
ting there through the medium of
licking "Bombshell' Page, which in
itself is something Of an accomplish
ment. He is 4 member Of the Budget
Commission and is regarded as well
versed in the financial structure OF
the State.
The source which boosted him to
your reporter added that he looks
on proposed expenditures with an
eye just jaundiced enough to make
him a fine head of the money-spend-
ing committee.
"Of course, he isn't as tight as old
Jim Bell, of Mecklenburg, who head
ed the 1887 appropriations commit
! tee. Nobody is that tight; but Clark'S
lust tight enough TO keep things on
a pretty level keel" he said.
As for Ballentine, the Wake man
is one of the few third-termers OF the
l94l Senate and is said to be first
ever sent three times in Il row by
Wake county.
Senator Ballentine was not a men,
Der of the 1889 finance committee,
but was an appropriations member
He is considered 'SOund' in his I'm
ancial views; though in the last SEES
sion he was at odds with the adj
ministration all the way on the CUES
ton Of diversion of highway funds
The Wake county man was an I'M
placable foe of diversion, even in the
sugar-coated contingent form, ano
on every occasion voted against that
| feature of the revenue act.
His appointment as finance chair
| man, for that reason, would be {
welcome one to anti-diVersionists
The next lieutenant governor Is
forthrightly committed against any
form of diversion and the Ballentlne

Cooley Pushes
Marketing Bill
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
By HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Sept. f. - Congressman
Harold D. Cooley is consistent sup
porter of the Administrations farm
policies; but he is firmly convinced
that the answer to the farmers many
problems lies in the field Of mar
keting and distribution, rather than
in the field of crop control.
"The answer to our problems is
not in curtailment of marketing but
rather in the expansion OF markets
at home and abroad" he recently
told North Carolina farmers at the
Upper Coastal Plains Test Farm field
day: and he is now vigorously trying
to transform his words into deed
through enactment Of the Federal
marketing bill which bears his name.
This bill would provide Federal
funds to be used in expanding mar
keting programs throughout the
country. Under its terms North Car
DINA would be allotted something
more than 100000, perhaps as much
as Sl50,000, annually.
I'VE must tel! our farmers how
and when and where to market their
crops" said Mr.. Cooley. I'VE must
have a broad and comprehensive ma
tionWide marketing program, and we
must find markets either at home on
abroad for things produced upon the
American farms.
1.-The field of marketing and dis
tribution has been Woefully neglect
ed.
I'VE have no way of controlling
production in foreign countries, and
controlling production here in Amer
lea does not answer the question.
40 teach farmers to increase
yields and then tell them to curtail
production or TO restrict marketing
and fail TO furnish them with the in
formation and assistance needed in
the profitable marketing of the pro-
ducts of their labor is economically
unsound."

Nv HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Sept 4.-Raleigh folks,
literally by the thousands, listened
10 the dedication ceremonies for the
Great Smoky Mountains National
Park at Newfound Gap late Monday
afternoon.
OF course your reporter has not
talked with thousands" about their
reaction to the program; but he has
heard comment from scores" and
the unanimous opinion OF all those
expressing themselves can be sum-
med up in this statement made by
a citizen who holds no office under
the current governor and who owes
no particular allegiance to him:
Il heard the Honorable Harold
Ickes, the Reverend Fred Brown
Governor Hoey, Governor Prentice
Cooper of Tennessee; and the Presl-
dent of the United States; and am
proud to say that the very best
speech was made by our own North
Carolina governor.
There was far more spontaneous
cheering when Governor Hoey calico
for q ban on all communist, nail
bund and similar subversive ele-
ments than at any other point in any
speech of the program"
All who heard the radio broadcas
agreed with this summary, and RAJ
leigh appears completely captlvatec
with the eloquence and radio tech,
nioue of Governor Hoey.

hound to improve the feet of the
original and with the greyhound to
add speed. The result was a more
graceful, cleaner looking dog, able
to range quickly afar.
Inspired by the success of the
English, the Germans started ex-
perimenting with their pointers.
Their first crossing was to the
bloodhound, breed that gave the
Germans shorthair wonderful nose
and enabled him to work on birds
by day and on fur in the dark. 1t
also gave them a heavy, rather
clumsy, dog. Then, when field
trials started to be so popular IN
this country about so years ago, the
Germans decided that their dogs
could stand little more speed and
grace, and started crossing them
with pointers from America. This
gave them the results they wanted.
Club Formed.
They developed dog that was
a marvel on both birds and small
fur animals, one that could retrieve
on land and in water, and was
sturdy, game and intelligent. His
appearance may be directly traced to
this inheritance which consists of
about so per cent original Spanish
pointer, Is per cent foxhound and
Is per cent bloodhound.
German shorthair pointers start
ed coming to this country in the
1920's. 1t was not until 1888 that
a national breed club was formed
and an American standard for the
breed adopted. According to the
standard, dogs should stand from 81
to % inches at the shoulder and
weigh SIS to 70 pounds. Only liver
or liver and white dogs may be
shown. Faults to guard against are
bone too light or too clumsy, too
large a head, too many wrinkles,
dish face, cowhocks, weak pasterns
or elbows turned in or out.

A Dog Lovers Notebook

Dog publications come and go.
Here is another conner, The Dog
Year Book, 1941," to be released
early in the new year. Arthur
Patterson, Kennel Editor of the New
York Herald d-Tribune, is editing the
128-page volume, and Eltinge War;
ner, of Field and Stream, is pub
fishing it. 1t would be hard to
find a team better qualified to COM
pile a book on the varied dog
activities of the year, field and
bench, then these dog veterans.
A recent release from the Ameri-
can Kennel Club calls attention to
the fact that the exhibiting of pure
bred dogs is now worse than ever the
hobby of the man with the moderate
income. While many wealthy people
breed and exhibit dogs and maintain
large kennels, their number has
not materially increased in the last
decade, but the number of individual
exhibitors, owners of one or two
dogs, has increased over so per
cent.
Obedience test trials, particularly,
have favored the increase in this
class of exhibit or, since this branch
of the sport is made to order for
the owners of one or two dogs.
Because they can spend more time
and more effort on their one or two
pets, such owners usually do very
we'll in the trials and frequently
defray the expenses of their trips
with their prize money. Dog shows
provide more recreation for less
money than almost any other hobby
they might pursue.
The Old Dominion Club is going
to have a bigger and better" show
next spring if the various local
speciality clubs have their way. The
Potomac Boxer Club is deep in
plans for a speciality show to be
held in conjunction with the Old
Dominion and is preparing for an
entry of $50 boxers.
While this seems like very high
goal, in view of the successful
sanction match held recently, it is
not one impossible of fulfillment.
The Washington Bulldog Club, too,
has made arrangements to consider
the bulldog classes at the Old Do
minion show its speciality. The
members of this organization are
already working for an outstanding
premium list, and If premiums mean
anything, they should get q whop-
ping big entry.
How to conduct q kennel club
meeting was nicely illustrated by
the recent meeting of the WASH
ington Bulldog Club. A short but
important business was followed by
very interesting color movie Of
the Detroit bulldog speciality show
and the Washington puppy match.
After the movies, the company
adjourned to the living room of the
hosts for light refreshments and
pleasant conversation. An i'm
promptu but well-enjoyed feature
of the meeting was the dog show
which took place on the living room
table. A collection of some 20 bull
dogs, fashioned of wood, china,
metal ands other materials, were
lined up in conventional dog show
classes, and were judged on their
merits by John Turnbull. The
winner, q handsome pied china
specimen entered In the open class,
was solemnly crowned with .

of 4lll Legation street NV, has
cited its advantages.
The only tool required is the pen
Gil" with which the burning Is ac-
comphshed. Electrically heated ones
can be bought cheaply, although Mr..
Reichard would recommend the
purchase of something better than
the cheapest. The cheap ones be-
come too hot after being used for a
time, while those of q slightly better
construction are so designed as to
reduce this factor somewhat. This
tool, and q table or desk on which
to place the material being decor
ated are all the equipment neces-
sary. This should be very suitable
for people In apartment houses.
Mr.. Reichard started this avoca-
ton about year ago and has found
it not at all difncult. If prepared
wooden plaques are used, with the
design already printed on them, the
only trick to master Is the technique
of shading the lines properly. OF
course, any one having any artistic
touch at all can easily make up his
own designs, which may be simple
or elaborate according to taste or
ability. Some people color the
plaque after burning in the design.
but the more proficient lobbyist
may produce much the same effect
with the burning tool by the proper
shading the burnt areas and ma
nipulation of the pencil. Mr.. Reich
ard protects his pictures with a coat
of good spar varnish applied after
the other steps are completed.
Heated by Alcohol.
The fact that Mr.. Reichard is q
craftsman by profession and SO en-
ployed by the District Government
may be of aid to him In laying out
and executing his designs, but such
training Is by no means necessary in
order to follow this hobby. The
novice will find 1t easy, and yet the
experienced worker may produce very
elaborate results. Typography is by
no means new art. It was popular
many years ago and is only being
revived today. Mr.. Reichard said
that the best work is still done with
a type of tool which is heated by
alcohol, rather than with the new
electric ones.
Mr.. Reichard is also interested in
boats and water sports. He has
built q Kayak, which is light craft
about IL feet long, made of canvas
over a wooden frame. The canvas
covering is painted to render 1t
waterproof and to shrink. 1t in place
on the frame. This boat was built
from a kit. Mr.. Reichard hopes to
build q small cruiser, powered by an
outboard motor, as his next project
in this field. He hopes that his ex-
perience with a kayak, plus that
gained in repairing several canoes,
may help him to produce a sea-
worthy boat. However, the boat
building will have to be postponed a
year, at least, as he is member Of
the National Guard, and will 60 to
camp soon for his year of training.
