MS snip OF STATE:
TO the State Board of Health
went Mrs. w. Kerr Scott, widow
of the man who befriended most
our chief executive. This first ma
jor appointment to go to mem
Der of the Scott family in many
years made farm hearts glad
througout North Carolina.
Just when the bankers had
begun muttering I-told-you-so's
deep down in their vaults, the best
friend-with the possible exception
of the late Bob Hanes-the bankers
ever had in this State was appoint
ed to the State Banking Commits
sion. Charles johnson, still young
and vigorous, had hardly had a
look-in at State Government since
his defeat by Kerr Scott 10 years
ago.
Merrill Evans, old sidekick and
appointee of the late Gregg Cherry
was made head of the State High
way Commission.
And then, back to the home
hearth again, the Governor by the
appointment of Ben Roney rural
roads man bound to himself with
hoops of steel once more the Scott
Sanford-Bert Bennett clan.
Will Weaver Resign?
Although there has been n lot of
talk about UNC Coach Frank Nc
CURES leaving Chapel Hill, you
can hear whispers that Atlantic
Coast Conference Boss Jim Weaver
has given serious thought to get
ting off that hot seat. He might
resign-but will not quit under
fire,
While the position pays high in
the five-figure bracket, it is no bed
of roses. There seems to be con-
slant sniping and shipping.
A former coach at Oak Ridge
(before they gave up football) and
at Wake Forest, Weaver was in the
formation of the Atlantic Coast
Conference. His offices are in the
King Cotton Hotel in Greensboro.
A lot of the ACC meetings are held
at Sedgefield Inn, out from Greens
boro and operated by the King Cot
ton.
Former Football Coach
DIR. William C. Archie, who last
week was named to succeed DIR. ],
Harris Purks, Jr., as head of high
err education for North Carolina. 81
years ago was freshman football
coach at Wake Forest College.
He assumes the $4,000 post on
September 1.
Bill Archie's wife is the former
Ruth Toms Newly. daughter of
the late DR.. Edgar Newly of Hert-
forl, down in Perquimans County.
He is native of Salisbury.
"He's Really 1t"
You don't really know a person
until you learn something of his
background and home life.
UNC Coach Frank McGuire's
father was policeman. He was
the Youngest of Is children.
Wayne Thomson, Raleigh Times
sports writer. did a great story on
Coach Mcclure last week. He quot
ed Coach Mcclure in the story as
follows:
"a. I don't know if I could
have stood all this business about
the fight at Duke if it wasn't for
frankie (McGuire's nine-year-old
son, who is a cerebral palsy vic
tim). He's really it. He's what
care about. All this stuff about
Cameron Duke Athletic Directory
and Weaver and Duke and everv-
thing just rolls off my back. My
real interest is frankie :"
The Real Battle
We doubt that they can muster
enough strength to carry the fight
but just a lot of the old heads in
the Legislature-and they are in the
minority-would like to go along
with the hold-the-line budget re-
commended by the retiring admin
istration.
This could be done with little or
no new taxes.
They refer to it as ga good,
solid. sensible approach. so, the
contests to come in the General
Assembly will not be entirely be-
tween ga" and "B" budgets, but
between liberals and conservatives.
Who will win?
No Doubt About II
We knew Henry Hall Wilson of
Monore was assistant lowell. one
of the assistants, anvway-to Pres
ident John F. Kennedy. We knew,
also. his office would probably be
in the White House.
But not until last week did it
come right home to US just how
close we average folks in North
Carolina are to THINGS. There
was this letter from Henry Hall
Wilson to one of his Democratic
| friends in Raleigh. At the top Of
the stationery were three words:
THE WHITE HOUSE. Under
meath, of course. was the address
Washington, d. C. You don't get
