something better Shan mere svVvivo
life in North Carolina than Capers
White. He is one of these old men
who never grow old. Living with
his wife in a Carolina Hotel apart
ment, Capers White is an old
pitcher who knows his way around.
Difficulty in the wine business is
laxity in credit. They sell to al
most anybody. The supermarkets
are good pay; some of the other
outlets are terrible; and so there
you are. All got troubles.
SEE 1T We would like to
say that the best picture we have
seen in several months is "Sayon-
ara"
If you have an opportunity to
see it in your town, don't miss it.
THE SUBS When Governor
Luther Hodges is out of town,
pinch-hitting duties are said to be
divided among Assistant Ed Ran
kin, Treasurer Edwin Gill, CID
Head Harold Makepeace, Paroles
Chief George Randall, and Assist
ant Paul Johnson.
When he is gone, see one of
these.
MORE JOY =. Although State
College has found a new joy in
football, its biggest kicks still
come with its basketball team.
We were around when State
took Carolina in that 100-degree
climate last September. Of course,
we were there when State tied
Duke last fall on the gridiron.
But we would say that the joy
among students and alumni from
these victories was small COM
pared with that yelling up over
the State College campus last
week when State took Carolina on
the basketball court.
The din was terrific in West
Raleigh for a few hours late that
night.
BIG FAMILY You people
who have big families don't despair
of their making good. Luther Hold
ges, our Governor, comes from a
big family. He lost a sister last
week, Mrs. Blanche Hodges Crews,
II, Of Roanoke, Va. He still has
living five sisters and two brothers,
all citizens of Leasville or Draper
two important segments of Tri-
City in Rockingham County.
NOTES We have heard spe-
cial broadcasts on MICS Monitor
from North Carolina within the
past six months: Tabor City's
Sweet Potato Festival, Benson's
Mule Day, the three robberies re-
port from Angler Bank, and the
full report on the Indians and Ku
Klux Khan from Maxton. That's
publicity you just can't buy -.
Sports Illustrated has a great
big one-page picture of North
Cardinals Old Sportsman Luther
Hodges this week -. He won't call
it that, but if Raleigh Attorney
and YDC Bigwig John R. Jordan
runs for the State Senator, from
Wake County, it's going to be anti
Hodges. He will be taking on
Jimmy Poyner, Hodges good
friend, and Tom Ellis, law partner
of j. G. B. Ehringhaus, Jr. It
looks now as if Jordan, if he runs,
will have the support of the RAJ
leigh News and Observer and most
of the thousands Of State employ

News from down in sprawling
Halifax County is that former Sen.

seat his successor w. Lunsford
