The first day waa taken up moatly by traveling with stops at Natural Bridge and End leva Caverns. We arrived In Washington earlier than had been anticipated. Our extra time waa taken up by a boot ride up the Patomac River to an amusement park. We were awakened the next morning by the soft tap, tap of lit tle "elephant" hands upon our door. By the time we were fully conacioua, we were oa our way to New York. One of the biggest thrills of the entire trip came on Tuesday af I COUNCILL REALTY COMPANY FARTHING ROAD ? BOONE, N. C.

Because the Piccadilly Ho tel, where we were staying, la lo cated only a half block weat of B real way, we could walk to aJ moat My theater with Mae. On Wednesday we took an all da y tour of New York City la a glaas top bu? Our time was lim ited, m we didnt take too much tine at any one place. Our firat itop was the Empire State Build Inf. The view from the 102nd floor waa like looking out an air plane on the City, and the way the wind waa blowing, H felt o< if we were (landing on the wing of the airplane. By noon we had worked our way to the end of Manhattan near the Statue of Liberty. There we took a boat to the Island and went into the statue ? all the way to the top. We ate lunch on the Island, and in a matter of minutes we were on Manhattan and off again. We passed Wall Street, Macy's, The Little Church Around the Corner, the United Nations Build ins, which we were unable to viiit because of Caitro'i being there. We flopped in Chinatown and walked through, stopping only at a Budhist Temple. We ended our walk by going through a section of the Bowery, We alio went throogh the NBC building and St. John's Cathederal. We aaw the Colgate-Palmolive building, which was about SO sto ries high. Our guide said that they have no elevators in the building, and if you wanted to go up a floor or so, you are put Into a tube and squeeted up. On the waterfront, we were prtv ilged to see the second largest ship In the world, the Queen Mary, and the fastest ship in the world, the United States. Our tour was closed by a guided tour through Radio City. That night we again went on a tour, but this time it was on foot. New York Is a different place at night. One probably could spend a life time just looking at the fabulous lights of Broadway and never get tired. With the rising of the iun Thursday, we set off to Washing ton. There w? went through the Bureau of Printing and Engrav ing, where (I! our paper money is made. There were no samples nor were there any souvenirs. We watched the very impressive chang ing of guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery. The day ended with a trip to Glenecho Park. The way the girls screamed aa they rode the roller-coaster, one wuold think that the world had ended. Friday we saw the White House, the Capitol building, the Smith sonian Inatitute, and the xoo, and other points of Interest. We also walked to the top of the Washing ton Monument. That night we saw a baseball game between Washing ton and Boston. The game was full of thrills. There were three home runs, one each by Jackie Jenson, Vic Wort* of Boston, and Jim Lemon made the homerun for the losers. The final score was Boston 7; Washington 2. Aa dawn approached, we were aware that the dreaded day of departure was now upon us. But to look at the eyelids and the nodding heads, it seemed as if no one cared what happened. On the way home, Monticello was the only place of historical value we Best of Luck .:j| WE WISH YOU EVERY HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS FOR THE FUTURE. HI-LAND CLEANERS W. King St. ? AM 4-88(9 - ? 1 ' Washington, D. C.-Three Sou thern Senators ? one of whom was the IMS States' Rights can didatr for Prwldwt-hit week endoned the idea of SootVirn un ity to place the South in a better bargaining portion at the Demo cratte National Convention in 1M0. A move it afoot in the South to send to the convection delegate* representing 128 electortil votes, forged into a coalition which could bargain with potential candidates for the presidential nomination. South Carolina's Sen. Strom Thurmond, who led the unsuccess ful 1MB revolt against the Nation al Democratic Party, Georgia's Sen. Herman E. Talmadge and Flordia's Sen. Spessard Holland all favor, in varying degrees, a move to give the South what Tal made describes as "defensive strength" at the convention. Sen. Thurmond said the South would "do well to stand together as a bloc" at the convention. "The only thing these national leaders know is power politics," Thur mond added. "The South has been taken for granted for so many visited. While nearing home our enthusiasm began to wane and wai replaced by memories The deaire (or more explorations faded and was replaced with tall tales. The trip ended in Cove Creek about 6:30 p. m. Saturday, but the trip will never end (or these 35 seniors of the class of '60. National Merit Test Eighteen members of the junior class took the National Merit Scho larship Qualifying Test last week. The test is the first step in com petition for merit scholarships pro vided by some 80 corporations, foundationa, societies, and individ uals, as well as by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation it self. About tlB million have been ?warded in scholarships during the first four years of the program. There are also other values from the test. Besides entering qualified stu dents In scholarship programs, each student will receive a report of his test results. The scores may be helpful to many students in making decisions about college and courses to major In, as re sults enable them to see their strengths and weaknesses. The test is a three hour measure of educational development and college aptitude. Emphasis is on broad Intellectual skills, and on understanding and ability to use what has been learned, rather than aheer knowledge of facts. Members of the junior class tak ing the test were Richard Ander son, John T. Cook, Anne Combs, Lois Dancy, Jo Anne Eggers, Har old Eller, Roy Hayes, Jane Henson, Leslie Henson, Jim Greene, Tom my Lawrence, Mack Mast, Carolyn Miller, Jim Phillips, Johnnie Smith, Sheila Triplett, Jerry Welch, Dil lon Wilson. yrtri that it if going to require some united action on the part of the South to gM the recognition it deserves. A big new scandal seems to be developing in the nation's capital. Industrious reporters have dug up the fact that the federal gov ernment paid 118,283,090, over a four-year period, to firms owned by one man ? Arch S. Underwood, a wealthy Lubbeek, Texas man to store government-owned cotton surpluses. Underwood controls eight of the 18 largest firms which store the cotton surpluses. His organizations were paid M ,354.986 in 1908 alone by the Department of Agriculture, for use of their warehouses. The baring of this information la bound to harve repercussions on Capitol Hill, where the Senate is preparing to act on the 1960 Agri cultural Appropriations bill. The overwhelming vote by which the House passed a liberal, substitute Railroad Retirement bill recently, instead of a commit tee ? approved bill with less ex penditures, was seen by some Congressmen as an Indication that a strong labor bill will not get through tiM louse this year. These aources say the 181 |? 01 veto to substitute the costlier rail road retirement bill is indicative of the influence labor has over the House. As one Congressman put it: "The public will demand that some kind of labor bill be passed. The extremists on one side will de mand a much stronger bill than the Kennedy bill, which passed the Senate. The extremists on the other will demand no bill. The re sult will probably be a very weak labor hill " Janesville, Wis. ?
