Members of the North Carolina
Press Women, holding their fall
meeting in the Sandhills last
weekend, left Sunday afternoon
declaring they had never en
countered such delightful ho9-
pitality before, nor met such
charming people.
For many of the members—in
cluding editors, women’s page
editors and assistants, foods edi
tors, fashion editors, reporters and
other newsfolk from papers
throughout the State—it was the
first visit to fabled Pinehurst and
Southern Pines.
For the occasion, Mrs. Valerie
Nicholion of Southern Pines,
who as the only local member was
in charge of arrangements, admit-
/ted her best feat was providing
the finest weather possible.

Service, just back from Berlin.
On the insistence of the guests
Mr. Gilmore told them of Berlin,
from which he and Mrs. Gilmore
had returned just two days before.
The Press Women found it im
pressive and exciting to hear of
conditions there, and about “The
Wall,” from one who had seen
it with his own eyes so recently.
It is a sight, he told them, which
all the press of the world should
see—the tangible, terrible Iron
Curtain of brick and stone sun-
