Thurs'day gave $100 ' of the fund donated to replace j Bonnie, her seeing-eye dog, to i the fund to save the life of Joney Day LowVmore, the Pireway lad j who as a "blue baby" faces death I ! unless there is an operation. ) "I am asking that $100 of the ] ' Bonnie fund be given to the blue ' , baby fund," she said, while ad ' dressing members of the Wil 1 mington Lions Club at their j weekly luncheon meeting. Miss Davenport explained that , ! while she was deeply conscious of tho affliction of blindness, she had a very real appreciation of ! other forms of suffering. Conse- , quently, she was anxious that the Lowrimore Blue Boy Fund re ' ceive a portion of the Bonnie Fund. ' The Bonnie Fund was raised 1 by the Wilmington Lions after ! her dog was killed by an auto mobile. | Miss Davenport suggested that Lions on what they could do to ward rehabilitating blind persons. She pointed out that this conn-: try's economy is set up for per- 1 sons with sight and that blind | persons face public opinion winch j tends to regard the blind as ob- ! jects of pity, excluding them from ; making an independent economic existence. She told how the funds pro vided by the Lions were being | used to buy braille slates and i white canes. She said clothing was ' especially needed in many in stances. Miss Davenport sugguested that every effort be made to assist | blind persons in selling the goods , they produce so that they could "help themselves and establish I themselves a place in the econo- \ mic system." A check from the Wilmington I Lions Club was forwarded Friday* by M'Kean Maffitt, co-chairman of the, club's major project com mittee, to Ben B. Lewis of White ville, who is treasurer of the Lowriinore Blue Boy Fund. Lumberton Girl ! Queen Of Festival Jk ? Greatest Festival In History I Held Friday As Miss Nora Dean Parker Becomes 1949 Selection SCOTT GiVES GREAT "GO FORWARD'' TALK i . ? ; ? I Chief Executive Expresses Interest In Future Of Ru ral Churches; Introduc ed By Quinerly In the greatest of all tobacco festivals ever staged in White viile, an 18-year-old Lumberton ' beauty was crowned queen of. the 1 Tri-County Tobacco Festival here j Friday night. Miss Nora Dean Parker, a 1049 high school graduate who will enter Queens College next month, walked off with, royal honors and a $"25 diamond solitarie. She is a nicce of Congressman F. Ertel Carlyle. Just to prove their impartial ! ity, judges awarded second place to Kitty Fisher of Elizabethtown and third spot to Meriam Mitchell of Kelly. The queen-crowning ceremony was. performed by Governor1 W. ? Kerr ' Scott who earlier in the , evening had given another of his , ? j great "Go Forward" messages to the people of Southeastern North Carolina by radio. Speaking over Kadio Station WENC frorp the home of his hosts, former Mayor and Mrs. S. L. Puller, Governor Scott told his audience that "I think it i3 a disgrace on the part of the utility people and the REA that theiie are 268,000 family units in North Carolina that want elec tricity and are unable to get it." He invited those who failed to get electricity to let him know. The State's Chiet Executive took a mild blast at Wilmington when, he declared his great in terest in ports and then said "we were a little disappointed" that Wilmington didn't show a like in-' terest in his good roads pro- 1 gram. He was referring to Wil- , mington's majority against the I road bond issue. Turning from a review of his ' "Go Forward" program and his 1 declared objective of having North Carolina "out-rival" any other state in the nation, Governor Scott expressed an interest in the moral development of the State, particularly with respect to rural areas. He reminded his audience that crim has shown a greater increase in the rural sections than in the cities. He declared he was concerned over the rural churches "about which little has been done in the past 50 years." In all too many instances, he said, the rural churches have had little attention except a paint job about every 10 years and a cleanup of the cemeteries at homecoming. The Governor said he hoped the rural roads program now being inaugurated would help to keep the rural church from going into hiberation every winter. This Excellency was introduced) by Joe P. Qutherly, a long-time associate of Scott in Extension Service work, who said "the Governor probably has made many mistakes and may make others in the futurp, but be will never make the greatest mistake of all? that of doing nothing."
