Marie Macon, and Matthew Al- I -"ton, both of Raleigh, Mrs. Al i ston, when asked her reaction to | a post-nuptial trip after so many years, replied, 'I think its about time we had a honeymoon.’ Among the spots of interest which the couple plans to visit are the graves of Eider and Mrs. James G. White in Battle Creek, Michigan. They pioneered in the work of the Seventh Day Advent ist Church. The Elder says they will try to attend Adventist 1 services in every city that they visit.

Utley is said to have fired several shots, but none of them reached the intended mark. Dover is said to have been on furlough horn the Navy and was at his wife’s home. The wife, Mrs. Lena Dover, was one of the prin cipals in another shooting, at the same address, May 9th. At this j time she was the victim of two bullets fired by one Ernest Hinton.

On several occa sions, Councilmen .Green and; Danielson have been quoted as; making some rather loose remarks ! about, the welfare of some of Ra leigh's citizens. There latest out bursts came last week when the council was discussing a request for something over $7000.00 to re place a leaky bookmobile. These bookmobiles have more than proven their worth. They travel over the city and county carrying books to the sick and in-1 firm, the shut-ins, cripples and to! people living at a great distance \ from the libraries.

Coun cilman Danielson is quoted to! have remarked during the debate i over the request that "people who■ are too lazy to come to the lib- • rary didn’t need to read”, while Councilman Green is quoted as jumping at women who work in stead of staying home to care lor their children and bring them to : the library.

There remains a balance of 16 thousand dollars to be raised to complete such a desirous edifice; consequently, the Veterans As sociation is at present concerned with securing this stipulated a mount, Many plans have been made insofar as the raising of the balance is concerned. The organi zation intends to ask various so cial and charitable groups for help, for the facilities and ad vantages of thie center will not. only be open to Veterans of Charlotte and Mecklenburg Coun ty, but. to the. general community as well. Plans have also been formulat ed for a big July 4th dance at "Club Mona Lisa”. Seemingly this promises to be a, gala affair, and as an attractive door p>iz® the association will be giving 0,- way a 1956 Ford.

A telegraphed message from the Chief Executive declared that tli - rivji rights measures, if enacted, “will materially as sist the government in dis charging its responsibility to safeguard the Constitutional rights of every citizen in this country, including the right to vote." “But laws on the statute books are not enough," the presidential message continued. “Patience and forbearance and wisdom arc re quired of all of us if we are to solve effectively the perplexing problems of this trying period of adjustment. As you turn your at tention ';o these problems, I wisn all of you a most successful meet ing." President Eisenhower’s greeting noted that since 1909, NAACP members “both white and Negro, have been stiivin.g to secure for all persons regardless of color their full measure of Constitutional rights." \ BADGE OF HONOR" A telegraphed greeting from Dr. brad Goldstein, president y of the American Jewish Cong ress. asserted that the “lab i of 'extremism’ placed on" the NAACP is "a badge of honor won in the fight against the shameful badge of Jim Crow. “Generations of Americans to come will benefit from your firm ness in refusing to accept any mG stitutes for full attainment of Con stitutional rights," Dr- Golds!'n added.
