I j John Parris9 Jr., AP Writer, Returns Home From London John Parris is back in town.4 The youngest diplomatic corre spondent in the business, on vaca tion from the Associated Press, ar rived in the States May 29 and is spending a leave with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John A. Par;*is, of Sylva. The onetime editor of Sylva High School's only successful attempt at ' ? -1 njuvpape:', The Hurricane News, Parris contributed regularly to the old Jackson County Journal, the Rural! te, and several other newspapers throughout this area. He landed his first job with a wire service when he joined the United Press in Raleigh in 1943. He was placed on the U.P. bureau in New York in 1937, and in August of that year took a job with the Win ston-Salem Journal and -Sentinel as roving correspondent, writing a number of feature stories on state politics. In April of 1939 he was sent to Memphis as night editor for U.P., and in November of the same year was sent back to New York as assistant cable editor. Parris transferred to the As sociated Press in March, 1941, and was sent to London as diplomatic correspondent, his first foreign as signment. There he covered in ternational affairs such as parlia ment, foreign embassies, and the interpretation of international poli- . tics in general." He was on the London beat for almost four years, and was sent to San Francisco in early 1945 to cover the United Na tions conference. Last January he attended the official birth of the UN in London. Parris' next as signment will be the United Na tions meeting at Hunter College in the Bronx, where he will begin working on the cable desk on the twenty-sixth of this month. His most interesting assignments overseas include an exclusive in terview with General Bor, com mander-in-chief of the Polish home forces. Bor is the general who retook Warsaw in the city's second siege, held on for 72 days, and was captured by the then powerful German forces. The young correspondent's un failing coverage of the_various governments in exile in London during the war, which were by passed by other correspondents, paid off once when Parris flew into Belgium with Prime Minister Pierlot thr*e days after that coun try's liberation. Parris was a very good friend of ex-King Peter of Yugoslavia, and ?Continirtd on page 2 SOSSAMON'S... in Sylva JOHN PARRIS, JR. Clifford E. Bair To Sing At Methodist Church Sunday A. M. Clifford E.
