We’re not betting any money, but we hope that Eisenhower will be named Republican party candi date by the time that this paper reaches you. If Ike is not nomin ated, in our opinion, any other candidate will have slender poss ibility of taking the general presi dential election in November. Ike seems to be the only Re publican possibility who rates any real popularity with the South. And the South will determine who wins the presidency in 1952. Don’t forget the Civic Club - Home, Demonstration Club Joint Picnic at Forbes’ farm out Neuse way. On Wednesday, July 16, at 6 in the evening. The clubs will provide plates, cups and drinks.
