By ETJLA N. GREENWOOD RETURNING ... Oral Bo. berti, widely recognized as the leading light of to-called (?Mil healing, it coming; Kick to Ra leigh. He held forth here. Me cessfully, about six yean ago in the State Fair Cow Palace, now better known as the Dorton Arena. Vea Braxton, formerly of Whittville and now residing la Tuls?, OHa. is quietly Uying plans (or a little luncheon the latter part of January for Ro berts friends in this area. He reports he will need a dining room which will (est 2,000 and somebody to do th* feeding. There are only two places in the Raeligh vicinity which will ?eat that many for eating; and only the Dohun's here? and a firm to Charlotte which catered the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner last spring ? have shown inter est in the Roberts luncheon. SURPRISED ... A day after the Bantists had shaken with 'alarm at the procpect of the State's moving into the com munity college business ? with a total of at least IS planned ? Gov. Terry Sanford gave his solid support to the community college program. There was surprise at his endorsement. This community college pro ject will, in time, mean the death of every denominational junior college in North Caro lina. Moat of them are Baptist. The Governor said, in a vague way rfthat he hoped the church supported schools would re ceive more and bigger contri butions?but he did not see < how. , : A lot of people? perhaps < most of them ? will go along i with the Governor and his co- i hofta on the plan to provide < more college*. But the ever- i decreasing minority will fee it I as one more turn of the wheels in the crushing of private in- i ittative and Individuality by i Government Juggernaut. 1 Our Junior colleges will go in 1909-88 the same way oar ^ academies went In 1909-23. THE SAME ... We recMtly reported in thw corner bow Brame'i salve lost out to Vkk's 40 yew* ago by not moving quite faat enough during the influenza epidemic. Vick'i is now known through out the world. But to us the Br*me product* still manufac tured by R. M. Brante & Sons in North Wilkesboru, is Just as good. Guess how we know. The other day, W. J. Brame? no doubt one of the sons or grand sons ? sent us a bottle of Brame'i original Vapomwitha Salve. Down with fall colds, we have ?H "nosed" a little of it these last few days. Nothing ? unless It's the horse radish you run into on shrimp cocktails ? will do a bet ter job of opening up old clog ged membranes. WHERE FROM? . . . There U no brand of suffering quite equal to the mental pangs of an ambitious political candi date who has run short of money. We have heard this said by a wide assortment of candi dates. U. 8. Sen. Hubert Humphrey intimated as much when he fin ally came face-to-face with ten million dollars ready if neces sary to carry Kennedy to vic tory in the forecast-of-the-fu tune primary In West Virginia. That deal marked the end of the Humphrey Presidential can didacy. He saw he just could not compete. Now we have at least ten in dividuals intereated in runing for Governor in North Carolina a year from next spring. How ever, one must have on hand or readily available about $200, 000 in order to conduct a suc cessful campaign in carrying the candidacy to the people. Now C. V. Henkel of States rille has this kind of money, without being beholden to any body or any group or groups. This is also true of Ike Belk o< Charlotte. It may be true of ? ? I*. Henry Jordan at Saxapahaw ... and also of Bert Sennet of Winston-Sal*m. Theae man, like John F., Robert, and Ted Ken nedy, are wealthy They can hoist a campaign right now. PLEASE TELL HIM ... Jim i Jteid, famous aportscaster and < now mayor pro (am of Raleigh and vice president of Branch BaakiM A Trust Co., told the ' other night here how political I figures can run into all kinds 1 of characters. i Former Gov. Gra.it: Cherry was l at the Democratic National Co#- 1 vention in Chicago in 1052 Gov. I Cherry was no Jim Farley on i the name business bu., as they 1 say, never forgot a face. This North Carolinian saw Cherry and friends in a hotel in Chi- j cago, rushed up and shook hand# with the former Gover- ( nor. "Why, hello there", roar ed Cherry, giving the friend a good, hearty handshake. "What's my name?" cime back the Taj-heelian, "Why, boy", said Mr. Cherry, "I been knowing you 25 years down there in North Carolina." But the man, obviously want ing to embarrass old Gregg, in- 1 stated he call his name. He fin ally said he would give Mr. ' Cherry a dollar-bill if he would tell him his name. Finally, Gov ernor Cherry, solidly In ai cor ner but still undaunted, turned to his friends an d said: "WILL SOMEBODY please tell this poor fool what his name it?" AT THE CHURCH . . . There is a lot to be. said in fav or of small, rather Informal weddings. Not only is it a thou sand times eerier on the father of the bride ? but frequently on the bride herself. A Raleigh incident of a few days ago illustrates this. The mother of th* bride, who lives outside Raleigh, insisted that her daughter have a big church wedding. Since she was brought up in a broken home, the daugh ter was hesitant about getting married. Anyway, she hardly knew her stepfather, who of course was to be prominent in the wedding. But she agreed, the date for the Forest Hills Baptist Church wedding was seit. But, to make a long story short, the bride on the day o( the wedding could not be found. Those invited, came and sat ? and sat. The groom waited, too. Finally, it was announced there would be Green Valley School Presents Book Fair A* a Climax to a Book Week ?ctivity which has been carried out i? the classes of the Green Valley School, a Book Fair was presented In the library on Tuesday, Nov, 13. It was in the form of exhibits made either by individuals or groups of children on certain books that they had read and especially liked. Entries were accepted in two classifications: The more difficult books and the easier books. All exhibits were placed and ready for judging by 8:00 o'clock on the morning of the Fair. A group of Library Sci ence students from Appalachian State Teachers College acted ai Judges. They were Ellen Ste men, Mabel Calloway, Liizie Mae Chureb, Brenda Blackburn, Marsha Williams, Mary Rhudy, Lynne Hallyburton, Edith Mc Kibben and Gladys Rector. The awards were made in the form of blue, red, and white ribbons in that order. Every display received an award of some kind. A tri-colbr or most outstanding award was given in each of the two class"* The tri-color award in the more difficult books went to Elson Greene, Mr. Lee Greene's 8th grade. He displayed the book "A Boy's Book on Camp ing." The tri-color award in the easier books went to a commit tee in Mrs. Luther's 3rd and 4th grades that displayed "Tell Me About God."

A conversation piece was a life-size rag doll exhibited by Judy Brown for "Twig"., Several parents visited the library during the day, and all classes were given an oppor tunity to visit after the judges had completed their work. Mrs. Ralph Buchanan, the librarian, felt that it was a most worth while experience for the school and the community. Mrs. Dessie Mae Edmisten, county supervisor, and Mr. Guy Angell, superintendent, visited during the day. Traffic Toll Raleigh ?
