A Correction
In the list edition of the
Democrat it was stated that
Rev. Charles Hubbard, who at
tended a meeting of the Re
creation Commission in Boone,
is pastor of Trinity Methodist
dhurch in Raleigh. Actually,
we are told, Rev. Mr. Hubbard
Is the popular pastor of First
Methodist Church in Wilson.
The error is regretted.
NO CEILING INCREASE
Secretary of the Treasury
Douglas Dillon told Congress
that the Government did not
need an increase in the statu
tory debt ceiling now.
The Administration had ex
pected to need another increase
in the ceiling this summer. Mr.
Dillon explained that reduction
in Government expenditures and
increases in tax collections had
held the Government's debt be
low estimates.
Bedding For A Queen
Rarely in the life of a bedding manufacturer does a "natural"
like this come along. The North Carolina beauty recently
crowned by Jaycees to vie for the 1964 "Hiss America"
title at Atlantic City next month is a gorgeous six-feet-two,
and her mother told a reporter that the new "Miss North
Carolina" (Jeanne Swanner of Graham) got her beauty
sleep with toes well off the tend of her bed. This being
the cue, one of the largest bedding manufacturers in the
Southeast (The Mebane Company of Mebane) immediately
set about presenting the "queen" with a Kingsdown extra
length innerspring mattress and matching extra-length
foundation. And, as though that weren't enough, September
coincidentally is "Measure Your Mattress" month ? spon
sored nationally by bedding manufacturers and the steel
industry to promote the idea that anyone over five-feet-eight
hould sleep on bedding that is 80 inches long. Most bedding
in use today is 75 inches in length. Making the presentation
above is George C. Ratterman, president of The Mebane
Company.
