Diving or Dropping Out


A few hours before he died last
week, F. L. Gobble of Winston
Salem remarked to friends that il
would have suited him all right il
House Speaker Joe Hunt chad not
put me on a single committee this
time"
He complained) of feeling tired
"I'm not even the man l was just
two years ago-I can tell it."
Representative Gobble, one of the
oldest men in the Legislature at
TO-. and one of the oldest in point
of service was the only barber
on the lot. He was conservative
admittedly though not the
crusading kind.
1t was while riding up to Greens
boro for that firing day away from
legislative halls that Fleet Gobble
said: eve older fellows can't take
it like we used to. You are always
reading about one of the members
dying or having to drop out. l don't
want that to happen to me-"
List Is Large
Although the Legislature became
a month old on March sand thus
still has more than three-fourths of
it's expected life ahead of 1.-two
of it's ITO members have already
departed: Gobble by death and Max
Childers of CASTOR County by resi-
saation.
There will likely be others.
Roy Parker of Ahoskie, whose
son, Roy, Jr., whose political type
writer is about the hottest in these
parts, died during the 1857 Legis-
lature. Although this HEREFORD
County representative was fresh
man, he had a lot of influence
throughout the State.
The rambunctious 1949 Legisla-
ture was only II days old when
State Sen. Joe Blythe of Mecklen-
burg CONTEMPORARY the most
influential man in the Senate-died
and was replaced by his brother.
Within the past decade, we have
had approximately 20 senators and
representatives to vacate their
seats-through resignation and
otherwise. This is just an estimate
but the list is large.
The Absent Friend
Pres. John F. Kennedy himself
. or his program coulc
prove to be the biggest rock il
Good Friend Terry Sanford's Patti
of Progress.
Now that the Governor has done

a chosen-at-random, cross section
of 600 members. Of the first 80
returns, a big majority said they
would prefer tax on food over an
increase in the sales tax. Again, it
is apparent they want NEITHER
. and will likely fight EITHER.
Surveys are funny. Incidentally,
S. c., Georgia, and Tennessee, have
a sales tax on food. Virginia has
no sales tax. We used to have a
tax on food. This was removed by
the 1871 Legislature.
The Flower Show
May we go overheard a moment,
please? That Southeastern Flower
Show here a few days ago was
wonderful! We saw N. C.-grown
orchids as large as a spring bon
net! There were camellias as large
as your two hands-with fingers
ontstretched! You felt out-of-this-
worldish. And those gardens and
backyards lifted and living right
out of the magazines Ideas! The
only complaints we heard came
from the few women who did not
bring cameras. Next years show:
March 2-6. in the Arena.
To James Melton, Hugh Vann
Warren Steed, Bob Zimmerman
and John Harden Associates, our
best bow for a job we'll done-and
an apology.too-for we did not give
it the send off it deserved in
Raleigh.

some fingerpointing money-wise,
the 1861 Legislature will begin get
ting down to real business. Watch
it!
And, more and more, as the leg
islature runs into stormy opposi-
tion-in whatever direction they
turn-on new taxes, you will OBJ
serve many of them looking to-
ward Washington, D. c., for relief
from the racket.
There, the Kennedy administra-
ton readies a program which
would dump a cool 60 million dol
lars into North Carolina with
no new State taxes.
You can just hear a belabored
Legislature hopping his brow and
saying: Lets get that money from
Washington-and wait a little bit
to see what happens y,
And that is why we said at the
top of this little item that-our
Democratic friends in Washington,
DC, could prove to be our biggest
stumbling block. 1t wasn't intended
that way. We should wtlcome edu-
cational aid from Uncle Sam. But it
is not his responsibility to pull our
educational chestnuts out of the
fire.
Improvement Needed
If Guilford County is serious
about wanting House Speaker Joe
Hunt for Governor in 1916, it will
have to show marked improvement
at the ballot box. The area has be-
come in recent times a real source
of strength for the Republican
Party.
Or perhaps all Republican Gull
ford needs is a Democrat in there
as Governor. We have not had a
Governor from Guilford in-count
emile years! Not since ]. NJ,
Morehead went out of office in jan
uary, 1845.
Really Want Neither
Surveys are funny. When the N
C. Food Dealers said in response to
la QUESTIONABLE from their able
leader, James B. Vogler of Char
lotte-who is also in the Legisla-
ture-that they would rather have
an increase in the sales tax than O
tax on food, they did not mean they
wanted an increased tax. They
merely meant that IF they HAD tc
have one or the other, they would
prefer the hike.

Boy Scouts

Thirty-seven Scouts spen
this past weekend at Camp
Klein in Concord, Ohio learn
ing that even "indoor" camp
ing out in zero weather can be
loads of fun. They were MEM
bers of Troop 108 from Gale
donia School with their guests
from Troop 392 from Cory
Methodist Church.
The big event Of the week.
end was the building Of the
monkey bridge across the river
that runs near the camp.
Senior Patrol Leader Dave
Griffith supervised the con-
struction made entirely with
ropes with one large rope in
the center to walk on and two
smaller ones at waist height
to serve as hand rails.
Several who couldn't grasp
the knack of walking the rope
bridge fell in water at different
depth to get wet enough to
cause them to run back to camp
where they could undress and
dry themselves and clothes be-
fore a large, open fireplace in
the dining hall.
Saturday morning, MIR. Rob-
ert Malcom, the Scoutmaster of
Troop 1872 lectured the Tender
foot Scouts on Second Class Re-
quirements and in the afternoon
they went on a five-mile hike
thru the snow-covered woods
passing many Of the tests in
wild-life Identification, stalk
ing and tracking.
Sunday worship services were
conducted by Dale Reed Of
Troop 392 for the Protestant
scouts while the Catholic scouts
were driven into Painesville for
services by Dale's father, Mr..
Harold Reed.
Saturday evening, an Gin
door" campfire was held around
the fireplace with singing,
stunts and the showing of
movies of the 1860 Jamboree
and Winter Camping. The next
camping trip for Troop 108
will be outside in tents Feb.
