Band assemble on street corn
ers to awaken the city with their,
playing of Easter chorales and
hymns.
Thousands of worshipers

It isn’t often that you’ll en
counter a husband and wife who
resemble each other so strong
ly that they pass for brother
and sLster. In this laitegory are
Hilly and Mollie Dixon., who
dispense good cheer along with
tasty food at their corner .shoji
in die Elks Temple building.
Whatever el.se New Bern may
lack, there’s no shortage of
dogs. If you happen to own a
ca^ne, and the odds are you
do, you’ll probably appreciate
this story.
It seems a smartly dressed
lady of advanced years, ob
viously an aristocrat, was
walking along a .street hi New
York City. Accompanying her,
on a leash, was a msmgy, flea-
bitten cur that was a revol
ting .sight to see.
A curious bystsmder, loiter
ing on the curb, stopped the lady
imd inquired, “Where are you
going with that thing.” It was
a rude question, to say the least,
but the dear old soul took it
in stride.
With haughty mien she in
formed the loiterer that she was
headed fur the dog show at
Miulison Square Garden. Dumb
founded he blurted out, “Lady,
don’t you know that thing ain’t
gone win no prise?’’
“Oh, I know that,” she an
swered cheerfully, “But he’ll
get to meet a lot of awful nice
dogs,’*
If you’ve never visited Orton
Plantation at Wilmington, it’s
worth the trip at any season
Just to see the magnificent oaks,

THB COMPANY WILL APPRECIATE EUOOESTIONS FROM ITS PATRONS CONCERNINO ITS SERVICE
FOR A HOME TOWN BOY—Reproduced above, be
fore individual signatures exceeding the one
thousand mark were added, is the telegram Bill Bunt
ing received this morning at the Sneridan Hotel in
Louisville. It may well be that no athlete, amateur
or professional, has ever before been the recipient of
a single wire signed by so many, and it is doubtful that
any of America’s non-sports figures have been recog
nized to this extent either. Although the editor of
The Mirror cooked up the gesture in tribute to one
of the finest youngsters you could ever hope to know,
it was no one-man project. A dozen or more New
Bernians pitched in to work against time and contact
as many local fans as possible. The response was in
stant and enthusiastic. Bill and Fayetteville’s Rusty
Clark are making history as the first North Carolin
ians to ever play as starters for a team in the NCAA
finals. All basketball coaches in the Big Four have
dreamed of a day when they could point to home
grown athletes as regulars on their team. That day
has arrived for Coach Dean Smith of the University
of North Carolina. With no chance of finishing lower
than fourth in the nation, and determined to capture
the top trophy, the Tar Heels tangle with Dayton’s
Flyers Friday night. After that, if all goes well, they’ll
battle in the main event Saturday night against UCLA
or Houston.
