Mrs. Bill Bushby has been ap
pointed new post supervisor for
the local Ground Observer Corps
post, succeeding Col. George
Garde, according to county GOC
chairman Dave Drexel.
Mrs. Bushby was formerly a
day captain for LIMA FOXTROT
31 BLACK, the official name of
the local post.
Col. Garde reluctantly gave up
the post but said he was forced
to do so because of pressure of
business.
Drexel and Mrs. Bushby said
today that construction of the ob
server post, located on Wey
mouth Estate, would be resumed
a week from this Saturday. The
Junior Chamber of Commerce
has volunteered to help with the
completion of the structure, a
job that was held up bcause of
lack of materials.
Drexel said enough materials
had been donated recently to put

Dr. Timmons To
Discuss Raleigh
Girl’s Book Sunday
The second in a series of book
interpretations for the Advent
Vespers services at the Church of
Wide Fellowship will be delivered
by Dr. W. C. Timmons, pastor,
Sunday at 4:30.
The book to be reviewed and
discussed this week will be "Ca
leb, My Son,” by Lucy Daniels of
Raleigh. Last week Dr. Timmons
discussed a book dealing with
faith healing, written by Wade
Boggs, a native North Carolinian,
to a large audience.
According to,' Dr. Timmons this
Sunday’s discussion will deal with
the race question in American life.
He will undertake to interpret the
over-tones of the book, whicft has
been termed one of the most pro
vocative stories of this season, and
will seek to answer the pressing
question of “How Dark is the Race
Problem?”
Msis Daniels, daughter of Jona
than Daniels, editor of the Raleigh
News and Observer, and a grand
daughter of Josephus Daniels, has
repeatedly said that she did not
write the book to either support or
criticize any view of the race
problem, but was simply telling
4he realistic stdry of how a Negro
family was caught in the pathetic
crisis of the times.
The book has been hailed by
critics as one of the best to come
out of the South that deals with
the race problem. It is reputed to
have something of the same qual
ity as the writings of Anne Mor
row Lindbergh and Rachel Carson.
Roger Gibbs, director of music
at the church, will sing a Negro
spiritual, according to Dr. Tim-

NEW SCIENTIFIC HEART OF NORTH CAROLINA'S FORWARD MARCH
Dedicated men and women, at work with fantastically complicated instruments
and simple test tubes, are shaping a brighter future for every North Carolinian.
In the seclusion of great public institutions and in private laboratories from
the Great Smokies to the Atlantic Ocean, they are creating the miracles of
modem science. They are the grains, the flesh and blood, of the Research Tri
angle. Their work has already made every book, every article, about North Caro
lina’s economy that was written even a year ago out of date. The Research Tri
angle is a new and dynamic North Carolina First. Every citizen owes it to himself
to knovl^ what it is, and what it means to his and his State’s future.
