HOW THE LlTTLEJOHNS
CHOSE DARE COUNTY
FOR RETIREMENT HOME

The story of how Mr.. and Mrs.
Ollie Littlejohn of Bellefontaine,
Ohio, came to choose Dare County
as a retirement home is an inter-
esting one, and contains some ideas
of the processes that influence
people who come to a place and
make valuable and helpful citizens
and neighbors.
Mr.. and Mrs. Littlejohn since
January have been living at Manns
Harbor where they bought the new
brick home built by Richard Mann.
Both their children now being mar
ried, and Mr.. Littlejohn retired
from railroad work, they will make
this their permanent home. eve
wanted to get away from places
where there is too much traffic,
too much rush." says Mr.. Little
john.
There are many other people
about the country who would like
to move here, and it is merely a
question of showing them what we
have in a favorable light. Eleven
years ago, the Littlejohns, living
in the home state of the Wright
Brothers, desired that their chill
dren should visit Kill Devil Hills.
They wanted to see Kitty Hawk,
and the N. c. coast. They wrote to
the Chamber of Commerce in Eliz-
abeth City, always a good neigh
Dor of the Dare Coast, and got a
list of tourist accommodations on
the beach.
When they got to Mays Head
they stopped at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Richard Mann. They liked
the Manns, and the Manns liked
them. So they have been back
every summer for the past IL
years. They visited Manns Harbor
often, liked the place and the peo-
pie, bought the new home, sold the
old one in Ohio, and now they are
here.

CHOICE To sacrifice small
town home life, a comfortable liv-
ing, and to leave ones friends, the
old home, and friendly old sur
roundings to come to Raleigh to
live on a salary of about $4,000
(and a whole sackful of worries
and responsibilities was the item
which brought big creases to the
forehead of Joe Branch of Enfield
last week.
He had been offered the job of
Attorney general to succeed man
giving up the post voluntarily to
return to the same things Joe
Branch would have to leave.
Branch's indecision brought into
sharp focus the fact that those big
Raleigh jobs we used to hear so
much about-and which were so
eagerly sought and painstakingly
bestowed-have lost their old at
raction. True it is, and may it ever
be so, they carry honor, prestige;
and enable one to walk and talk
with the great political leaders of
the State.
CHANGE But even that soon
pals on one. And the Raleigh
office-holders, from the lowliest
stenographer on up, go back home
for few hours or few days
every chance they get. Ask your
self this question: would you bring
your children from their friends,
give up your home, tear yourself
away from the "little puddle" to
come to Raleigh to live at the same
salary, higher expenses, political
uncertainty, AMI long period Of
becoming re-esablished? Would
you move to Raleigh for a ten per
cent raise? For a Is per cent
raise?
All right. That is why the guess
ers were busily debating for so
long whether Joe Branch would
take the job as Attorney General,
or whether it would go to one of
the "career men" around here who
are making it their business to
work for the State, or whether it
would go to person who could
make the change to Raleigh with
little sacrifice.

WHY HE DID You have
noticed within recent weeks that
number of men who were in the
1867 Legislature: "do not choose
to rum, the fine choice of words
used by Calvin Coolidge in 1927
and which prevented his name be-
ing tied with the Depression. Her.
bert Hoover chose and got tin
the neck.
The other day we had an oppor-
tunity to talk with man who had
served in three sessions of the Leg
islature back in the forties. He
said he was thinking about an
nouncing for the House this time.
We asked him this straight-for-
ward question: "Why do you want
to be in the Legislature-other
than the obvious reason that every
body is urging you to rum"
He said that, in the first place,
service in the Legislature gives
one an opportunity to make friends
with a fine bunch of fellows"
from all over the State. sit gives
one good connections" he said.
This man is an attorney. He
found that "a term or two in the
Legislature" seems to help law
yer in various ways. For one thing,
he stated, Legislative service
creates more respect toward you
from the judge. You don't get more
clients-but bigger ones, generally
speaking.
He cited an example. An asso-
ciate justice of the State Supreme
Court used to give this attorney a
hard time when the justice was on
the Superior Court bench. He
brow-beat him, scoffed at him, en-
barrassed him before his clients,
and this. attorney dreaded his
court appearances.
Our lawyer friend came to the
Legislature and from that time on
Judge treated me like a
new man and DANCED if he
didn't seem to be just a little
easier on my clients, too"
NEW ADDRESS +. The N. C.
Bankers Association, under the
capable leadership of Executive
Secretary Jesse Helms, moved into
spanking new quarters-out of a
building to ground-floor Offices
last Saturday This provides them
with more space, easier access,
parking, more prestige.
BELK CANDIDATE Irwin
Belk, not the Oldest and not the
youngest-but some say the smart
est of the w. H. Belk children
has announced as a candidate for
the State House of Representatives
I. from Mecklenburg County.
Although he hasn't said SO in so
many words, young Belk is run
ming for the place Food Dealer Jim
Vogler is vacating to run for the
State Senate.
If Irwin makes it, we will be
trading food for dry goods in the
