February J 3, 1957 Bufords Have Yen For Oriental Designs They’re young faces to Salem’s community, potential parents to some three hundred girls, and bet ter known to most of us as Harry and Betsy Buford. Actually they are old residents in Winston-Salem, having been here since 1951, Betsy was born here; Harry’s from Washington, D. C. Until last May, Harry was with Bennett-Lewallen Wholesalers, up town, but after a siege of sickness he decided to change jobs. Quitq by accident he learned that Tom was interested in selling out, and began to investigate. He seemed to understand when I told him that it had been a little strange at first to call the familiar shop across the square “Harry’s Hideaway”. He didn’t hesitate to confess that it had been a new ex perience for him at first, too, and that he had been frightened by it all, Harry told me how he and Betsy met. She was visiting in Wash ington and he “knew some people she did”. They were married in 1938. Betsy works for Eastern Airlines —you’ve probably seen her in the lobby of the Hotel Robert E. Lee. ft was an experience with one of her customers that led the Bufords to their interest in oriental design. Betsy made all the arrangements, including interpreters, for a Chi nese laundryman’s wife to come from Hong Kong to the United States. Since it was impossible to make final connections from Greensboro to Winston-Salem, Harry and Betsy took the husband of the woman to the Greensboro-High Point Air port, at midnight, to meet her. A day and a half later Betsy located the woman in California. She had gotten off the plane after becoming air sick, and wms visiting relatives. Some time later the man brought Harry and Betsy an oriental pic ture as a token of their apprecia tion hand stitched on pure china silk. Around this, they have re decorated their living and dining rooms. Harry’s pastimes :ire many and varied, but music and , reading (about the Civil War) rank top place. Out of curiosity 1 asked what he liked best in the food line. He has an intense dislike for eating, and would prefer his proteins in capsules. Elarry told me about a suggestion box he’d left on the shelf in front by the register. What “we” want he wants. (I got my low calorie salads)—Just let him know! —Mary Archer Blount Author To Visit Camp US Beyond Davis Burke, N. C. author and new spa])ernian will be on campus tonight at 8:30 in the Reading Room of the Library to talk to the Friends of the Library” and any interested Salem students. His topic will be: “Sidelights of a Historical Biographer”. Mr. Burke began his writing career, quite by accident, with the Charlotte News after being edu cated in the fields of botony, fores try, and advertising. His first recognized writing was an essay rdn-mt Snakes which took first prize in a N. C. Academy of Science essay contest. Whisper My Name was the first novel by Davis Burke and since that was published he has written other books including The Ragged Ones and Yorktown. Now 44, Mr. Burke is feature writer for the Greensboro Daily News. He lives in a very historic house used by the British as head quarters and hospital after the battle at Guilford Courthouse. Mrs. Burke is a reformed foreign correspondent, a tennis player and a mother to a son and daughter both of whose 1. Q.’s are sup posedly double their father’s. The sponsoring group, “Friends of Salem College Library” is an organization which provides a medium for bringing together all people interested in books and the development of book resources for Salem College and community.

For the first time in the history of England, an heir apparent to the throne. His Royal Highness Prince Charles Philip Arthur George, Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles and Prince and Great Stew- ardiof Scotland has left the private tutorship of the Court and enrolled in a commoner’s institution of learning. He is addressed" as Prince Charles, but must obey all the rules, keep silent during the meat and clean his plate like every other boy in the school. There is much disagreement as to whether this move has been in keeping with the Royal Tradition, but the Duke of Edinburgh has been quite firm in his stand that his :son must “learn to mix with the other kids.” This is evidence, cried the Daily Mall, of the “grow ing democratization (horrid, ines capable word) of the throne.” ENTERTAINMENT Author Ernest Hemingway will be represented in two forthcoming movies emerging from Hollywood in the near future. Starring in The Sun Also Rises will be one of his favorite people, Ava Gardner, and portraying the ill-fated lovers of A Farewell To Arms will be Jenni fer Jones and Rock Hudson. * ♦ * According to the reviews, the Irish actor who has never faced in American audience before, . but 'eplaced Rex Harrison to play My Pair Lady’s Henry Higgins has leen judged as a success.
