SECTION TWO The Roundup By WILBORNE HARRELL M p V - - V. llT — If we are not careful, we are going to talk and think ourselves into a depression. President Kennedy is of the opinion that we are in a mild recession and if something isn’t done, we’ll have a full-scale depression. Now, if editors over-editorialized and commentators and column ists over-write and over-say in regards to a depression, the American public will be brain- A washed and ready to believe that a depression is upon us or just around the corner. There is a psychological factor in that state ment and cannot be ignored. So my advice to you is, forget it, we are not going to have any depression we don’t bring on ourselves. Frankly Speaking By Frans Huberts u... J In New York City a radio program re-created the details of a train wreck that occurred eleven years ago. Wha hoppen? A flurry of phone calls from people who thought the wreck just occurred. Said announcer Ken Banghart: “I guess some people just don’t listen care fully.”; I feel sort of funny watching, on television, as GE proclaims that progress is their most important product and Westinghouse tells us about bet ter things for better living. It just doesn’ jibe with the events in today’s news; North Carolina recently received big boosts on nationwide television, via two different Andy Griffith inter views, plus some favorable com ments on Candid Camera; on lo cal television, recently, on an educational television show, a teacher, in explaining half-life, Hitting on High? • If you are feeling low, then by all means, take steps to get yourself hitting on high.

But wait, they’re coming back after all. On the Mutual radio network. Tony Marvin will be the series host; Hertford is com ing along with plans for a swim ming pool. What happened to the indoor pool that was at the old Marine Base? “The Lincoln Murder Case” on television last Saturday was the most absorb-: ing tee-vee fare in a long, long time. A program like that could never be done in Russia, and that’s one of the simple, basic differences between a democracy, and communism; Just finished over 500 pages of short stories by James Farrell, offering re-| markable character studies and situations, plus great insight;! CBS goofed last week. TheyJ kept advertising a visit to the the bed. There they’d sit and rock and gossip and knit and dip Three Thistles Sweet or Rooster or Railroad Mills. The poor sick man was usually driv en frantic, and if he got well at all, it was in spite of and not [ because of, all this kindly soli- I citation. Because the joker in j the deck was that the ladies really thought they were angels of mercy. For they did give the J poor sick man an occasional : drink of water.

When someone! asked that carnival couple why they “gave away" four of their; children and kept two, they re plied: “We had to keep some of them.” Movie notes. It cost Disney $9,000 to build the treehouse ! used in “Swiss Family Robin son.” How many people recog nized Hoot Gibson doing a minor role in “Oceans 11”?

Bon ner says that some-time ago it came to hisi attention that the armed services were not stocking peanuts for consumption in the various'-commissaries and PX’s, both ' continental and foreign, which, he stated, was very dis turbing. Mr. Bonner immediately con. tacted the office of the Secre tary of the Army and other ser vices with respect to this, point ing out the food and nutritious value of peanuts and peanut pro ducts. Ha urged that these items be placed on the shelves of the commissaries and PX's. Mr. Bonner stated that he was delighted to receive a communi cation irom the office of the Secretary of the Army which stated that salted peanuts and other formerly deleted items will be reinstated and restored to commissaiy and PX shelves. The letter specifically pointed out that a Department of the Army Bulletin “will advise com manders of the restoration on March 1 of these items to the list of articles authorized for sale in Army commissary stores.” ‘ Refreshments Topic At Council Meeting Refreshments for showers will be the demonstration given by Helen Marshbourne, Virginia Electric Power Company home economist of Elizabeth City, at the March County Council of Home Demonstration Clubs meeting.
