FLOWER FESTIVAL A quarter of a million people thronged Wilmington for ,the South’s largest flower festival— the seventh annual azalea festival March 25-28. The festival coin cides with the blooming of over a million azaleas. REPORTER I Continued from Page 6) Samuel P. Sears appointment an nounced the night before and al ready stirring up a political mck us. Concerning Sears, he simply said he had never heard of the man before—“but I think they could have fop.nd someone who didn’t want the job so badly.” To a Negro reporter, asking* if the Negro problem “should, be dealt with in general, or should have special attention” he gave his view that “all problems have to be dealt with separately—^you can not approach one through anoth er.” On the touchy point of segrega tion within the schools, he re sponded, “The Supreme Court will speak for itself. I have al ways been in accord with Stephen Douglas’ deathbed counsel to his family—‘Support the Constitution and obey the law.’ ” Some German student reporters present were interested In his views on the position of Western Germany in the conference of na tions. He admitted the difficulty of the problem, and gave his view that it woulud have been most desirable if political bonds could have been forged in Europe first, before the military (Europe an Defense Community) effort was made. However, he said, in view of the lack of time, EDC had had to come first. If France or Italy fail to join, a serious prob lem would be presented “but EDC cannot succeed anyhow if the members are half-hearted. Their cooperation must be won—^they must want EDC.” After an hour of questioning he went to his suite but there, more conferences followed—groups and individuals lined up in the hall for the privilege of speaking with him a moment. There were more pictures, to which he acceded with graciousness, though now it was apparent he was becoming; a little tired, and was anxious to be gone, back to the Sandhills. Farm Life Community Plans To Build Center For Club Meetings, Recreation .« W. E. Horne Named Whether or not he will run again for the Presidency was the big question at Charlotte. From this reporter’s view, that is a mat ter of little concern to him at the moment, as he is busy about what he sees as his main job: to hold the Democratic party together in its recess out of power, to work with all the talents he has—and they are great—^for its unity and strength, and to give it a voice at a crucial period when it must speak, and speak clearly, above the hubbub. Chairman; Meeting Scheduled April 20 Residents of the Farm Life School community, Carthage, Route 3, are planning to build a community center and have set up committees to work on the project. W. E. Horne is over-all chair man of the project. Working with him are Mel Michael and Sam Blue on the general committee. Mrs. T. H. Lingerfelt is secretary and Mrs. James Blue is treasurer. The project has wide support in the community and money making activities are planned. Do nations from any source are wel come, says Mrs. James Fulk, publicity chairman, and should be sent to Mrs. Blue, the treasurer. It is hoped that a site near the school can be acquired. On a com mittee to investigate purchase of land for the building are Mrs. Sam Blue, Mrs. Paul Greene and W. M. Michael. James’Fulk is chairman of the finance committee. Other mem^ bers of the committee are C. L. Ragsdale, Richard Matthews, Sam Blue, James McKenzie, Mrs. Paul ine Cook, Mrs. Paul Frye, Paul Greene and Mrs. C. L. McLeod. Residents of the community met last Wednesday night at the school to make preliminary plans and elect committees. Another meeting, to which all residents of the communtiy and interested persons are invited, has been set for 7 p. m., Tuesday, April 20, at the school. Mrs. Fulk said that from time to time various organizations in the community, including the Home Demonstration Club, have talked of building a clubhouse. Now all groups with such plans have decided to work together to help build one community cen ter. The center would be used by all these organizations for a meeting place, for a children’s recreation center in summer and for any oth er community purpose. MORE ACCESSIBLE The new highway to Cape Hat- teras and new ferry service from Hatteras Island to Ocracoke make it possible to visit and return in a single day from this isolated is land of North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Jeep service is available at Nags Head for off paved highway trips along the Outer Banks, most of which are now accessible by paved highway through the new National Seashore development. The highway, which connects with N. C. Highway 158 and U. S. 64 just south of Nags Head, is ac cessible via free automobile ferry across Oregon Inlet. With 3 per cent more milk cows on United States farms January 1 than a year earlier and feed sup plies likely to be plentiful, barring drought, milk production in 1954 probably wiU rise above the 1953 record of 121 billion pounds.
