SECTION TWO JgM \ * » / By WILBORNE HARRELL I have never seen a Walt Dis-| ney movie I didn't like, whether j cartoon or live. And to create' a character as well-loved as! Mickey Mouse, and to reach the hearts of a million kids (and adults), as Disney most assured ly has, should be success and happiness sufficient for any man. I don’t envy any man his lot," I don’t care for a seat in the] White House; Just give me the genius of a Disney ,’ And let me create a Mickey Mouse. THUMBNAIL BOOK REVIEW—' If you like the robustness and earthiness of the Western story —or the pioneer story—read: The Way West, by A. B.

And the author thumbs his nose at the literary purists by using cliches and the simplest language now and then —if they seem to serve his pur pose best. The book is full of sights and sounds and smells' of a wagontrain on the march;! and runs the gamut of all the emotions of a bunch, of people 1 thrown together by circumstance and necessity far from the fa-! miliar spot home. There is keen life and the pathos of death; the brightness of sun- 1 streaked dawns, and star- 1 studded and sometimes storm-1 streaked nights. There are! rattlesnakes.

THE WEST—This year marks the 100th anniversary of the t famed Pony Express, which was j inaugurated April 3, 1860. Its ‘life as a mail-carrier was des tined to be a short one, operat tfig only 18 months; but the i Pony Express in this short span wrote in the history of America and the West, as dramatic a I story as ever studded the folk ! lore of any people. !

Box 548, Edenlon w— Telephono No. 6490 _ Anyone who's looked around knows the majority of Chevrolet models—6's and VB’s together—list for less than comparable models of other low-priced cars. But the price tag alone is only one of a whole raft of reasons a Chevy docs belter by your dollars. Nothing near Chevy’s size and price can match tire Full Coil cushioning of its ride, or the fine, finished workmanship of its Body by Fisher. That even applies to some cars that cost a lot more. You’re up in the higher price brackets before you find a car that moves as quietly as a Chevrolet or offers the inner space that Chevrolet docs. Or look at the extras Chevy gives you —at no extra cost— that others in its class can’t offer at any price. Shock-cushioned steering. Safety Plate Glass in every win dow. Keyless locking of all doors. Crank operated vent windows. Chevrolet offers the widest choice of power teams, too. Drive a Chevy just once.

Beach Erosion Stabilization The Soil Conservation Service has established a test plot on the Leigh farm in Perquimans ] County to prevent beach eros ion. The test plot was sloped to about a 3:1 and several dis-1 ferent kinds of grasses planted, j Among them were cord grasses I found growing locally. Karl Kraetz, SCS plant materials spe cialist, is in charge of the pro ject. Several of these tests have proven successful in Virginia and Maryland. Plant Expansion Estimated At $37 Billion Expenditures for new plant and equipment by business and iidustry have shown a close re-’ lationship to economic activity over the past decade. In the majority of years they have runi between 7 and 8 percent of gross national product. Two princi-t pal exceptions during this pe-l riod were in 19565 and 1957, i when the ratio exceeded 8 per-! cent in the capital expansion | boom during those years.
