' .hr-f “This nation is face to face with the gravest danger ever to confront it. The menace of Com munism is no simple, forthright threat. It Is a sinister and deadly conspiracy which can be con quered by an alert, informed citizenry dedicated to the pre servation of the principles on which America was founded. J. Edgar Hoover. The highest goal of Com munism is to destroy the pol itical, social, economic and re ligious achievements gained by mankind through the centuries of struggle toward a better life, and to replace them with a new set of institutions and human relationships envisioned by a dreamer In a London slum. The Communists do not pro pose to do this by gradual, or derly change, but by violent, swift-moving, bloody revolution that will place all power in a dic tatorship of a few self-appointed representatives of the “pro letariat” in an arrogant campaign to rule the world.

Boyd, who was well in his nineties departed this earth, he left the picture you see here in his be longings. We don’t have the remotest ideas as to its age, who these costumed characters are, or what the occasion happened to be. If you recognize a familiar face (maybe a relative or friend) we would like to hear from you. ; , FIFTY YEARS AGO—^Brinson Memorial School, on the Cherry Point highway just east of New Bern, used to be Thurman school, and reportedly had the first school buses in North Carolina. This photo, snapped about 1913, shows you how pupils used to ride to and from the institution before motor vehicles took over the job.
