Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL
Raleigh, Oct. 30. —A full two-weeks
after the State Fair no rigures on the
financial result are obtainable fiom
the Department of AgNclulture where
it is said that an audit is still in pro
gress. No statement will be given out
until the department is prepare! to
give exact figures, ir was stated.
Some folks arc wondering just ho*v
powerful effect Jos ill .V iliam Bailey
had on the State Grange convention
in Winston-Salem.
Prior to the senator’s appearance
and address, all the “dope” was that
the Grange would a Vpt : inging re
solutions calling for compub ory crop
control. Then came Mr ; -\'»i!ey with
a speech attacking control. There
followed a beautiful “straddle” by the
Grange, with compulsory control pro
minently absent from the things ad
vocated.
“There are more human interest
within 100 miles of Dare county than
in any similar-sized area in the Unit
ed States —no, the whole world,” said
D. B. Fearing, executive director of
the Roanoke Island Memorial Asso
ciation of Manteo. One thing that can
be said about Dare county folks is
that they are thoroughly and sincere
ly convinced that they live in the
greatest place on earth. It’s something
which enables them the more easily
to convince others.
Daily bulletin of the Theft Bureau,
Department of Revenue, for Friday
listed a trailer as stolen in Durham.
Revocation of 189 drivers’ licenser
during the week brought the State’.'
total to 13,511.
“Sandy Graham is missing a golden
opportunity if he doesn’t get into the
Senate race," said an unusually well
informed student of political affairs
in North Carolina who doesn’t want
his name used. “Sandy could win
rather easily against the two can
didates now in the field,” he con
tinued.
September activity of the State Em
ployment Service showed that 3,417
more placements were made than ap
plications received. Placements reach
ed a total of 9,798, with private in
dustry accounting for 6,789 of this
number.
R. Grady Johnson, director of the
penal division, says he is getting a
bit fed up on people who think they
are funny when they call him on the
phone and open the conversation with
“This is Bill Payne talking.” Inciden
tally, Mr. Payne seems to have con
centrated again as he hasn’t been re
ported in three or four places at the
same time recently.
BIG TOWER HOUSES
IN FOREST SERVICE
Better Provision Made for Fire Ward

Board Service
Daily Dispatch Burenn.
Til the Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, Oct. 30.—Bigger and bet
ter tower houses are being provided
for the forest wardens who man the
forest fire observation towers over
the State, Forester W. C. McCormick,
in charge of forest fire control for
the forestry division of the Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment, said today.
At the present time there are 76
forest fire observation towers in the
State, but only 53 tower houses for
the tower keepers and their families
—and many of these are only one or
two room cabins or shacks. Present
plans, however, call for the building
EXCUSE IT, PLEASE!

Cob: “Heh-heh! I don’t believe he ever caughtafiahthatbifc"
of a keeper’s house at every forest
fire observation tower and for the
enlargement of many of the smaller
houses, McCormick said.
During the past summer seven five
room tower houses have ceen built,
four four-room houses and two more
five rooms houses will be built this
fall, McCormick said. All of those
■houses are being built with Federal
funds provided by the Civilian Conser
vation Corps and with CCC labor.
Quite a number of small houses have
also been enlarged, while wells, gar
ages and tool houses have been pro
vided where none existed before.
The forestry division has already
asked the CCC to build 11 more three
and five room tower houses, with
garages, tool houses, well, garden
space and out-buildings for cows and
chickens, McCormick said.
No Scarcity
Os Turkeys
This Season
Dnily Dlxmifi'h Bnrean,
In the Sir Walter (Intel.
Raleigh, Oct. 30.—There will be no
scarcity of turkeys on Tar Heel tables
this year.
While a ten per cent decrease in
turkeys throughout the United States
is repo’rted, there are 23 per cent
more Thanksgiving birds on Tar Heel
farms this season, W. H. Rhodes,
chief of the Department of Agricul
ture’s statistical division reported to
d#*y-
Despite the decrease of birds in the
nation, the price per pound for tur
keys reported at 18 cents in North
Carolina is the same as for Sep
tember 15 last year, Rhodes said.
State Department' of Agriculture
authorities have been informed that
North Carolina producers intend to
market their birds earlier this sea
son than last year.
“In 1936 about 82 per cent of all the
birds sold in the state were marketed
in November and December,” Rhodes
said. “This year, farmers report that
‘hey intend to make about 90 per cent
>f their sales during these two
.nonths. Earlier marketings are also
reported for the country as a whole.”
The agricultural statistical report
ed that “conditions have been quite
favorable in North Carolina this year
for healthfulness of turkey flocks.”
Basing his information on federal
reports, Rhodes said that the reduc
tion of the number of turkeys in the
United States was general in all sec
tions except the New England States
where they are about the same as
last fall.
