Durham Never
Suffered Gray
The story of Durham, described
as a city which has suffered little
during its history, is told in the
December issue of Holiday Maga
zine.
An article written by Frantffs
Gray Patton, the novelist who
lives in Durham, reviews the
town’s colorful history, and says:
“It is this ignorance of commu
nity trauma that sets Durham
ap«rt from other cities in the
South—and in the North and East
and West, for that matter. t4o
p)«gue, flood, fire or famine has
ever had Duham crying for mercy.
Tlie Civil War all but passed it by.
The great depression of the 1930’s
l*(t it relatively unscathed. A city
that has not suffered lacks under
standing of itself.
‘*The good things it retains is
a, marvelous, naive optimism—an
unimpaired ability to take delight
in any kind of good fortune. A
Durhamite who has a piece of
iuck—whether by pitching for a
big-league ball team, writing a
hast seller or t>eing crowned Miss
th Carolina—is clasped to the
munal bosom. For Durham
> not suspect success; it has
tvcr* lost the frontier town's
