January 5-7, for the meeting
of the Board of Bishops and
the Ministers' & Laymen As
sociation, which convened at
St. Mark A.M.E. Zion Church.
It is believed to be the first
time a national meeting of the
denomination has met in the
extreme southwest.
The meeting is believed to
have set the pace for the com
ing Genera! Conference, which
will be held in Mobile, Ala.,
May 3-13. The chief concern
was how many bishops would
be retired and how many epis
copal districts would be set up
for the administering of the
work of the denomination.
There are 12 episcopal dis

year in the 51-year history of
the company," was the news
that greeted an overflow
gathering of shareholders for
the annual report of the Mu
tual Savings and Loan Associa
tion.
One of the greatest causes
for exhuberance from the
-group composed of distinguish
ed citizens including, Council
man, Dr. C. E. Boulware,
Attorney W. G. Pearson, John
C. Scarborough, 111 and others,
was the statements that: "As
sets of the Association increas
ed by $2 million, bringing the
total assets to approximately
sll million."
Excitement continued to
run high throughout the meet
ing as Mrs. J. S. Strayhorne
was elected to the board of
directors. Later, during the
monthly meeting she was pro
moted treasurer and assistant
secretary; F. V. Allison, Jr.,
was promoted to vice presi
dent-secretary; and Miss Annie
M. Anderson was made assist
ant secretary.
W. J. Kennedy, Jr., chair
man of the board, presided
over the meeting and J- S.

the report.

Thomas Wolfe Memorial Angel
Now Mounted on UNC Campus
CHAPEL HILL - The long
awaited permanent site for
Thomas Wolfe's memorial
angel has finally become a
reality on the University of
North Carolina campus here.
The 850-pound memorial
to the famous Asheville nove-
list is now planted next to
Gifford Court near the center

Cameron-Brown
And First Union
Involved In Deal
Joseph W. Goodloe, presi
dent of North Carolin Mutual
Life Insurance Company, an
nounced the completion of a
$6 Million contract to reinsure
an employee benefit insurance
program for First Union Ban
corp as another in a series of
such contracts with major cor
porations. First Union Nation,
al Bancorp is the parent com
pany of the First Union Nat
ional Bank along with the
Cameron-Brown Company and
several subsidiary corporations
with total personnel of 3,800.
The North Carolina Mutual,

Union National Bank, a major
subsidiary, has 157 offices in
71 North Carolina communities

dimensions of an ever broader
and more inclusive relation

and white operated firms in
the seventies. A number of

WORDS OF WISDOM
•
Don't expect the impossible, bat cooperate with the
inevitable. —Familiar saying-
Some fellows' signatures are so undecipherable that they
might just as well save time and sign their names
with a cross.
The memorial is inscribed
with one of the more famous
quotations from Wolfe's novel
"Look Homeward, Angel." It
reads "Oh lost and by the
wind grieved, ghost come back
again." - Thomas Wolfe.
Conceived as a class gift by
UNC's class of 1966, the idea
of a memorial to Wolfe be-
longed to that year's senior
class vice president, Armistead
Maupin of Raleigh. He en
visioned the angel in 1965 and
suggested it as the class gift.
