One of our Seniors at New Bern
High school, Eloise Reel, is having
trouble getting hack down to earth
after her marvelous trip to Den
ver, Colo,, for the International
Chri.stian Youth Fellowship Com
mission,
'She was one of five selected to
attend from North Carolina, and
one of 250 from the United States,
Canda, Mexico and Puerto Rico, Al
so attending from our Old North
State were George Burkhalter of
Charlotte, Celia Clark of Everett,
Mike Willis of Washington, Jimmie
Mattox of Dunn and the Rev, Dave
Alexander of Wilmington.
Rev. Alexander, a wonderful
sport, drove the entire 4,500 mile.s
and Eloise and the other teen-agers
in the party were very enthusiastic
about the way he fitted in with the
group.
Being chosen was quite a dis
tinction, and Eloise has been par
ticularly lucky. She was also select-

ed last year and on that occasion
.journeyed out to Fulton. Mo. How
ever, she seems to have enjoyed
the trip to Denver even more than
her earlier one.
“I was very much impressed with
the mountains,” she says. They
don’t have vegetation like our own
mountains in the Land of the Sky,
but they are much higher.”
However, she was impressed
most by the wheat fields in Kan
sas. “We stopped at one place,”
she told us, “and the silence was
almost deafening. There were no
people around anywhere, and not a
single sound. You couldn’t hear so
much as a single cricket. It was a
very strange feeling to be in the
midst of nothing but miles and
miles of wheat.”
Eloise is past president of the
Christian Youth Fellowship at the
Broad Street Christian church here.
She is one of many boys and girls
in our student body at New Bern
High school who are active in the
religious life of our community.
We are proud of all of them.

You probably know that bouncing
a rubber ball has something to do
with the compression of air inside
and its return to normal when the
pressure is released. But did you
know that this same idea of spring
iness is a vital quality in your
carpet fibers’’
Tiiis fiber bounciness is impor
tant for good looks, longer wear
ing and easier cleaning, points out
Mrs. Edith McGlamery, home de
velopment specialist for the N. C.
Agricultural Extension Service.
A fiber is springy oecause the
crimp, or waviness, of a fiber
causes it to repel another fiber like
itself. If you press the fibers to
gether by walking or placing furni
ture on them, they spring back
as close as possible to their origin
al shape when the pressure is tak
en away. This is called resiliency.
If the fibers haven’t a high de
gree of resiliency, they will crush.
Results will be a spotty looking
rug because crushed fibers reflect
the light differently. Repeated pres
sure on the little creases in the
fibers causes them to break and
the rug looks worn. Dirt and fibers
are matted together making the
rug exeremely difficult to clean.
A vacuum or steaming process will
revive matter fibers.
The more common rug fibers are
acrylic, (Acrilan, Dynel, Verel) ny
lon and super L rayon, rayon, cot
ton. and acetate.

honest answer. “They consider you
loud mouthed and big headed,” he
said.
Judged from a distance, or even
close at hand, many of us are prob
ably guilty of this failing. But Bry
an, if he ever had such feelings,
doesn’t have them now.
“I found you people to be kind
and considerate.” he commented
with deep earnestness. “In fact,
you’re kinder and more considerate
than our English people. Never
again will I hear Americans criti
cized without telling those who cri
ticize just how nice you really are.”
Therein lies much of the strength
of the Farm Youth Exchange. Not
only does it open the door for an
exchange of ideas among rural
youngsters, but is building a chain
of international friendship and un
derstanding.
Sue Ormond, from our own Crav
en county, will add a few links to
the chain next month when she
goes to Panama on a similar junk
et. Like Biyan, she ts a worthy am-
liassador of good will from her na
tive land.
