The dogwood has been designated by the State Legislature as the state flower.

It has agreed to transplant seedlings from commercial nurseries in their nursery at Clayton and to pack and ship them to anyone in North Carolina ordering them.

I. brides and soldiers both in England and the United States asking how they can get together as Rita and “Dom” did. “I answered them all out of courtesy she said , “But I couldn’t tell them anything. Don just came, that’s all.” The little chapel was packed with spectators and several hun dred others stood outside its doors and circled the bride’s home to glimpse her and the “Connecticut Yankee” bridegroom. • » * Fifth And Orange USO Events Slated The Fifth and Orange USO club has announced its schedule of com ing activities for this week as fol lows: Sunday—9:00 a. m. —1:00 p. m.
