Two FIELD CREST MILL WHISTLE November 10, 1947 Boys^ Tricycles Helped Advertise Fieldcrest (Community Week George (left) and Billy Brown An amusing sidelight on Fieldcrest Community Week concerned Billy and George Brown, aged five and three, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Billy Brown of the Riverview apartments in Spray. The boys became accustomed to see ing the mill trucks pass carrying the signs announcing Community Week. The new signs made such an impres sion on the youngsters that nothing would do but they have similar signs for their tricycles. With mother and dad dy’s help smaller signs were made on cards and fastened to the boys’ tricycles. The kids proudly rode up and down the sidewalk, stopping to stare at the mill truck as it passed while the driver stared at the tricycles.

Magician To Entertain Junior Carolina Council When the Junior Carolina Council meets for its November meeting Tues day evening at Central Y. M. C. A. at 7:30 o’clock, the members will be treat ed to a performance by one of the youngest professional magicians in the field. Johnny Miles, University of North Carolina sophomore from Wins ton-Salem is only 18 years of age but has trod the boards of magical illusion for more than six years. James Byrd, of Fieldale, president of the Junior Council, will preside over the meeting. Mrs. Donald Storm, pro gram chairman, will Introduce Miles. The young magician is the son of Forrest G. Miles, prominent Winston- Salem attorney and is well-known in Winston-Salem lor his dramatic presen tations in connection with the Com munity Radio Workshop and Little Theatre. During the summer he made a State-wide jaunt appearing on the stage under auspices of various civic clubs and also was booked at a number of western resort hotels. In an effort to steer clear of the age-old tricks that conjurors have been doing for genera tions, Miles has perfected many tricks of his own. Some of his most successful illusions have stemmed from Oriental origin. These include a cabinet trick in which Oriental lanterns, varied colored Chi nese balls, and yards of brilliant silk appear seemingly from nowhere, and the piercing of his assistant’s head with 15 “swords.” Miles has achieved much renown by his threading of nine previously exam ined razor blades in his mouth; and by “suspending his assistant in mid-air and making him vanish before the eyes of the audience.” The Younger Generation aim I — V.';.
