C.—John Edward Horne, 28, former textile worker and former sailor, came to his death as the result of an “unavoidable accident” a coroner’s jury declared after an inquest in the automobile bicycle collision death of the young Cherokee man near his home April 21. The verdict absolved G. W. Sprouse, 23, wounded overseas vet eran who was visiting relatives in Pacolet at the time, of blame in connection with the fatality which, witnesses said, occured as Sprouse’s car was in collision with the bicy cle_ ridder by Horne. The latter died at a Columbia hospital last Tuesday of skull injuries suffered in the crash. Share-The Cigarettes Plan Used At Durham DURHAM, May 10—(A*)—An a cute absence of cigarettes doesn’t frighten the main street USO here. The “haves” share with the "have-nots”, so everybody’s happy. The cigarette bowl is firmly es tablished on the snack bar plac arded by, “if you don’t have a cigarette, take one. If you have cigarettes, put one in.” Strangely enough, some fortunates do have an extra, so, with the exception of the weekend drain, the bowl is well-stocked. The success of this share-the weed plan, which was reported to the USO regional meeting recent ly, may encourage other cities to follow Durham’s example. Funeral Held For Mrs. Ola M. H. Wall RUTHERFORDTON. — Funeral services for Mrs. Ola Mae Holland Wall, 61, were held at High Shoals Baptist church Wednesday at 4. Rev.

Afternoon Dallies By LYNN NISBET CALM—State government per sonnel took a cue from Governor Cherry’s radio speech and observ ed V-E day by staying at their desks or going about their regular duties, with many of them taking a few minutes off to slip into one of the several churches that flank capitol square for a few minutes of quiet worship. (It has been noted as significant of North Car olina’s basic character that there are nine churches within two blocks of the state capitol, and that they represent all the major faiths —Baptist, Christian, Congregation al, Episcopal Methodist, Presbyter ian, Catholic; both white and col ored congregations. It is impos sible to look from any window in the capitol building and not be able to see a church.) JOY—There was evidence of re joicing and Inward elation on the faces of many state workers, but no outward demonstration unless the close attention given to the radio sets that had been brought from home to most office build ings might be called “celebration." FLAGS—The early morning was drear and rainy, so very few flags were put out either on office build ings or along Fayetteville street. Soon after the broadcasts of Pres ident Truman, Prime Minister Churchill and Governor Cherry the sun came out—and so did the flags. They were more noticeable because they flew at half mast. Numerous officials and clerks who were known as severe critics of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal ex pressed regret that he could not have lived to participate in the experiences of the day. CURFEW—Pursuant to procla mation by Governor Cherry some days ago all retail outlets for al coholic beverages were closed from 9 a.m. Tuesday to 9 p.m. Wednes day. The proclamation was widely acclaimed when Issued, but was perhaps not necessary so far as ABC liquor stores in Raleigh were concerned. SLACK—Tuesday was city elec tion day in Raleigh and for more than a week signs had been post ed notifying customers that ABC stores would be closed that day. The stores regularly close on Wed nesday afternoons from May to September. Thus the curfew af fected only the hours from ten to one Wednesday for ABC stores. Still there were' fewer customers in the stores Monday afternoon than usual, although preliminary announcements had sufficiently warned of the full two-day clos ing. INQUIRIES—The curfew procla mation brought a number of in quiries to the governor’s office. Manufacturers and distributors of beer wanted to know if they were supposed to shut down all opera tions; several restaurants, cafes and smokestands called to ask if they had to close up entirely or if they could remain open to serve meals and sell other items of mer chandise than beer and wine. All were advised that the executive proclamation covered only retail sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages and did not affect other operations. However, in some com munities all stores and smoke stands reported they would close for several hours if not all day. SYMPHONY—At the governor’s request North Carolina is Joining in observing international Music Week May 7-14. The occasion is being used in several communi ties for inaugurating campaigns ior support, ox xne in. u. ojinpnunj society, the organization that sponsors the “State Orchestra.” The cause is worthy and under present plans all membership fees and other receipts go into the symphony society treasury, the so licitors or canvassers giving their time and energy. This is a vastly different sltuatoin from that pro posed last fall when an out-of state money raising agency was scheduled to get a big cut of all collections. Publicity on that deal initiated by the afternoon news papers is credited (or blamed, as the case may be) with breaking up that arrangement. UNTENABLE—The 1943 general assembly was the first legislature to recognize either the symphony or the state art society as a state ward, and the 1945 assembly re newed the appropriation. It was not considered good policy for a state-adopted agency to pay trib ute to a private money collecting agency. (Parenthetically and inci dentally, the same reasoning raises question about the motor vehicles department “farming out” to a mo tor club the issuance of automo bile license plates.) Reports reach ing Raleigh indicate the campaign in behalf of the symphony society is moving along splendidly under the voluntary sponsorship of local women’s and music clubs. DINNER.—Date for the North Carolina "Jefferson Day” dinner has not been fixed, but it is ex pected to be held during the last two weeks in May. First schedul ed for April 18, the affair was postponed because of the death of President Roosevelt. This is the annual Democratic party money raising dinner, sometimes yclept “Jackson,” or “Washington” or “Jefferson.” There is still some doubt about the 1945 name. Sug gestion has been made it be dedi ■ cated as a memorial to the laU Hospital Contracts Let In Lexington LEXINGTON. — Bids aggregat ing $277,000, including architect’s lee, for the construction of the new community hospital here have been confirmed by the board of trustees I of Davidson Hospital, Inc. Success ful bidders met here Tuesday with architect and building committee to formally execute contracts. R. H. Pinnix, of Gastonia, is awarded the general construction contract; George Robb, of High Point, the plumbing and heating; Starr Electric Co., of Greensboro, the electrical work, and Otis ele vator concern, through its Greens boro representative, the self-oper ating electric elevator. In the meantime the building committee headed by George S. Coble has announced that for the next thirty days it will receive bids for the sale of the present hospital building, which will be made avail able to the purchaser when the new hospital is ready for occu pancy. The cost of the new hospital, with equipment and nurses home, is now placed at $364,000. Mrs. B. B. Michael Dies In Uncolnton LINCOLNTON—Mrs. B. B. Mi chael, 46, died in a local hospital early Tuesday morning. She suf fered a stroke during the night. Funeral services were held Wed nesday at 4 o’clock at Asbury Me thodist church near Lincolnton. Rev. A. A. Kyle officiated assist ed by Rev. A. G. Stimpson of Charlotte, and burial was made in the church cemetery. Surviving Mrs. Michael are her husband; six daughters, Mrs. George McGee, Mrs. Steve Lem mond, Miss Maude Michael, Miss Pearl Michael, Miss Arvita Mich ael, and Miss Lena Michael, all of Lincolnton; her father, J. H. Mc Allister of Silver Springs, Md.; two sisters and five brothers. President and called a “Roosevelt” dinner; another suggestion is that it be known as “Victory Day.” One realist has offered the proposal it be called a “Truman Dinner.” When that suggestion was met with the statement “you don’t give memorial dinners to living persons,” the sponsor replied “but you do give ’em testimonial din ners, and the- President is going to need all the support he can get.” By whatever name called and on whatever date held, the dinner will be a high spot in po litical life of the state this year. SPEAKERS—Senator Joe Blythe, director of the dinner campaign, isn’t exactly sure who will be the speakers. Originally Vice Presi dent Truman was billed, but his accession to the presidency knock ed that out. Then National Chair man Bob Hannegan was expected, but his new job as postmaster general may possibly prevent at tendance, though he is expected. Meantime, requests for seats, con tinue to come in every day. ATHLETES FOOT GERM HOW TO KILL IT FOE 86c Requires a strong penetrating mo bile liquid. Alcohol is good. REACHES MORE GERMS FASTER.
