Newland Woman Among 100 Finalists
Competing In National Bake Contest
A Newland woman with a
keen interest in making des
serts today was named one of
100 finalists in Pillsbury's 15th
Grand National Bake-Off, which
will be held September 15-17
in Beverly Hills, Calif.
She is Mrs. Ernest Daven
port of Route 3, Newland. She
developed a recipe for a pear
pie with a sour cream and
crumb topping by experiment
ing with a recipe from lier 661
lectioii. imfffrWtnpuH will go
to Beverly Hills to compete
with 99 other prize-winning
bakers from throughout the
United States in the Interna
tional Ballroom of the Beverly
Hilton. The grand prize in the
$100,000 contest is $25,000.
Mrs. Davenport is one of
two finalists from North Caro
lina. The other is Mrs. Guy H.
Little of Hickory. As finalist,
each is already the winner of
a General Electric range and
mixer, a $100 cash prize and
full expense money for the trip
to Beverly Hills to compete in
the Bake-Off. Both had sub
mitted their recipes for judg
ing on a nationwide basis ear
lier this year.
Mrs. Davenport was born in
Davidson county, and attended
high school at Crossnore. She
has done some traveling, mostly
in the Southern and Eastern
Seaboard sections of the United
States, and one of her great
ambitions is to do some more
extensive sight-seeing.
Mrs. Davenport says that she
"bakes frequently, mostly des
serts, pies and cakes because
my family is so fond of them."
The family includes her hus
band, who is a tire dealer, and
three children: Philip, 26; Paul,
23, and Janice, 20.
When Mrs. Davenport isn't
in the kitchen of the family's
six-room house she'll probably
be found reading or working
crossword puzzles. But she also
find* time to serve her church
?Pine gtpve Methodist? as ?6c
fftsry and as a dtcihber of sev
eral church committees and
women's organizations.
It didn't take Mrs. Daven
port long to decide what she
might do with the prize money
in case she's a winner at the
Bake-Off. "I have two children
in college who could certainly
use the financial assistance,"
she said.

Kephart Takes Note Of
Arab-American Society
While attending a meeting
of Arab leaders in Jerusalem,
Jordan, last winter, Dr. A. P.
Kephart met some of their out
standing leaders of whom Dr.
Jatoiil Nasir was the chairmah.
They were considering the
proven inequities of the Arab
Israel border settlement and
the continuing violations and
the ensuing conflict. Later Dr.
Kephart distributed for Dr.
Nasir one hundred and fifty
booklets, "The Embittered
Arab," to outstanding leaders
in this country.
Dr. Kephart now has a letter
from Dr. Nasir asking for his
opinion and advice on the de
sirability of setting up an Arab
American Cultural Approach
Society to enlighten many lead
ers in both countries by the
publication of facts and pictures
and excerpts from books and
journals. Since so very little
is known in the United States
about people and institutions of
the Arabs and so little in Jor
dan about the United States,
there is great lack of under
standing of each other.
Dr. Kephart said, "We really
do H6t know the Arab at all.
Such an organization could
bring about greater understand
ing and closer relations and so
contribute to welfare and ulti
mate establishment of justice
and peace."
Dr. Kephart has replied that
having been in Jordan now
three times, the last time for
seven weeks, and based upon
his acquaintance with and und
erstanding of the problem and
conflict he does approve and
would be glad to join such a
society and to help in its de
velopment.
A person's intelligence can
be accurately judged by what
he or she is interested in.

DOMESTIC PEACE CORPS

passed the senate by a margin
of three votes. The Senate ap
proved a 2,000 corps of mem

Civitan Club To
Support Bonds
The Boone Civitan Club has
unanimously voted to actively
support the proposed school bond
issue, according to ciub presi
dent Bill Spencer.
The Club feels that Watauga
needs the expanded educational
program before it can offer in
coming business and industries
opportunities in elementary and
secondary education for children
of their employees.
Club members expressed the
feeling that the children of Wa
tauga County need the oppor
tunities that a consolidated high
school can give for future college
work. Many also expressed hope
that the proposed new school
would provide training in voca
tional fields for children who do
not iplan to go to college.
Fifty years from now we will
be having Miss Constellations
beauty contests, and that will
be so much the better.

vehicle accidents killed more
children between the ages of
one and fourteen years than the
next two major causes combin
ed.
D. W. Greene, Biltmore Dairy
Farms, Asheville, president of '
the North Carolina Dairy Pro- {
ducts Association, stated that
the purpose of the crusade is to
emphasize to the school child
ren and the public the need
for alertness and safety, by
both drivers and pedestrians.
North Carolina's safety-con
scious dairy prooessors and dis
tributors pacticipating in "Cru
sade Child Safety" have set
their goal fo saye lives and re
duce injuries by developing
alert driving habits by dairy
truck drivers and the motoring
public.
Some of the safety tools are
bumper strips urging motor
ists to "Always Watch for
Children," safety badges for
drivers, safe driving pledges
their customers, and safety
pledges and metal buttons
reading, "I Am A Safety Cru
sader," for the children.
R. E. Davenport, Sycamore
Dairy, Fayetteville, chairman
of the campaign in North Car
olina, gives as the theme of
the Crusade, "The world's best
food ? delivered by the world's
safest drivers."
