Trouble-Plagued New

By JIM LASLEY
There will forever be a place
in the hearts of an Auburn

Locust of Durham.
For two days he assumed
the responsibility of the
family's welfare, and he did it
not because they were friends
or family but simply because
of his concern.
Locust was recognized at a
Durham City Council meeting
Monday night and is sche
duled to receive additional
recognition next Tuesday
night by the Durham Human
Relations Commission.
He rescued Mrs. L. J.
Campanelli and her five chil
dren when their car broke
down on Interstate 85. Never
having seen them before he
took the six into his home,
gave them money to continue
the trip by train, repaired
their car and later received
Campanelli into his home.
Locust did all that, and
more, because he thought it
was the right thing to do.
