It was the sense of the committee that the morn ing hours should be devoted to busi ness sessions with geueral discussion of topics and problems having to do with the pulishiug business in Xorth Carolina ; that the afternoons be giv en over to recreation such as boating, bathing, golfing, etc., and the evenings to addresses and talks dealing with the newspaper business in general. This general outline may be changed to some extent when the program is finally approved, but the committee felt that it would be wise this year to pattern the convention somewhat after the plan of the- Southern Xewsimper Publishers association and devote the afternoons to recreation. Prior to the meeting of the com mittee the members of the executive committee were the specially invited guests of Miss Cobb at the Kiwanis dinner, which was greatly enjoyed by the visiting newspaper men.

While Xorth Carolina is out of the question as the seat of the summer White House, there is a distinct possibility that President and Mrs.-Coolidge may go to the State for a spring vacation of two or three weeks it was learned today. * Close friends and associates of the j President, it was learned today, hare j been urging him to rest from the work of his office for a few weeks and get away from the heavy strain of the J Presidential office. Mrs. Coolidge, it | is understood, is heartily in favor of { the proposal that- the President take , a short vacation this spring.

Because of the lateness of the season,, it is believed that the President will not undertake the Florida trip, which has been urged by George F. Bean, Repub lican National Committeeman from j that State. This helps the chances in Asheville. President and Mrs. Coolidge like Asheville and often refer to happy times spent there when they visited the mountain city just before his inauguration as Vice-President. An invitation from Governor Mc- Lean to the President to make a brief visit to Asheville was personally con veyed to the President last week by Mrs. Lindsay ~Patterson, Republican Committeewomnn from the Sfate.
