Tri-City Senior
Gives Talks On
United Nations
_ As a feature of the
T r i -Cities’ observ
ance of United Na
tions Week, Miss
Louise Smart, daugh
ter of Mrs. Ruth H.
Smart of the Blanket
Cloth Inspection
Dept, and a sen
ior at Tri-City high
school addressed
meetings of the Dra
per and Leaksville-
Spray Rotary clubs, outlining the struc
ture and functions of the United Nations
organization.
“The UN is a place for people to talk
out their problems instead of shooting
them out,” Miss Smart said. The UN
gives nations an opportunity to work
together for the good of all. The UN
must get its strength from the people
themselves, and United Nations Week
gives individuals an opportunity to
learn more about the UN, its objectives
and its accomplishments, Miss Smart as
serted.
