Had a cheering note from Mrs.

my moral support to the New
Hanover Cancer Fund Drive. It
was a pleasure.
“Splendid cooperation,” it said
in the note, and she mentioned
something about” getting in hot
water” about not knowing where
she lived. 1 did not say that. She
is publicity chairman for the
North Caroling Sorosis Club’s can

day or tomorrow.

she did not know, but thrat shculd
not have been embarassing. No

the incident to “Mrs. Foy,” chair
man for the. campaign. Apoligies

Wright.” Wrong party.
