doesn't appear to be in much
position to help any one with
the Legislature or Administra-
ton. 1t just goes to show the
strange workings of politics.
BAKER We have known
Bobby Baker, the young man
the's only 30, who is Secre-
tary TO the U. s. Senate Major
ity ever since he came to Wash
ington as a Senate Page from
PickenS, South Carolina. He
has agreed To stay on with Mike
Mansfield, the new Senate Ma
Jority leader, and will render
Mansfield the same valuable
service he did Lyndon Johnson.
before johnson became Vice
President.
Bobby Is a substantial stock
holder i'll the Howard johnson
Restaurant and Motor Lodge,
which is scheduled to open
next week on the new Char
lottc Bypass. Since the Demo-
cratic victory, every office IN
Washington has been flooded
with folks seeking jobs or ia
VOrS.
With this thought in mind,
Bobby, kingly, remarked
during the recent Inaugural
Ceremonies Gee! if all of
my friends from South Caro-
lima who come To Washington,
seeking favor, will just stop
and patronize my place on the
way that would be enough
business TO insure a profit"
HEAD STANDING . . Last
year we ran an item about a
well known dignified state Of
fetal who makes a practice of
standing on his head each
morning. We received a lot of
gucSScS as TO his idcnity in
Guiding, Luther Hodges, Stag
Ballentine and many others.
Those who guessed Adjutant
General CapuS Waynick were
correct on this one.
ANOTHER ONE Who is
the well known bank president
from the Piedmont area who
recently received severe and
painful injury from fall en-
numbered while practicing
"YOGT'?
Speaking of bank presidents.
there are at least two state
employees who are presidents
of banks, Frank Turner the
State Property Control Officer
Is president of the Bank of
Mantcu, and DR.. .. *. Corn
well, Director Of Health and
Physical Education at the Uni
verSity of North Carolina, is
president of Chapel Hill
Bank.
The late DR.. B. B. Doughcr-
ty was president of the North
western chain of banks, when
he was president of Appala-
chan State College.
KEEPING FIT We cX-
crciSc daily, and have devc-
lopcd various contEaption
around the house TO use in con-
ncction there with.
One of the best and most
strenuous exercises is to sit on
the plan bench, place our toes
under the piano and lean back
and try TO touch the floor with
the back of our head, and then
return to an upright psoition.
We have never been able to
go all the way back 10 the
floor.
Mrs. Leila Coltranc, wife of
Dave Coltrane, the State Di-
rector of Administration came
visiting recently and caught us
going through this routine.
Imagine our surprise when
Leila seated herself on the
piano beach, put her toes un-
der the piano and proceeded 20
lean back - and rest her head
on the fOOr!! She did this a
dozen or SO times - and | I'M
dcrStand she was able to get
out of bed the next morning.
All we can say is that we all
laughed when Leila sat down
at the piano - but our ego has
been squaShed ever since. If
Dave is in anything like as
good condition as Leila. then
they might as well quit talking
about him retiring.
BETS o. The bet around
Raleigh is that there will be a
STABLE Primary Read Bond is
sue launched by the Sanford
Administration - in addition
to one for Capital Improve
mcnts. The highway contrac-
tors are pushing strong for the
roads program - and they are
potent.
