Horne9s Death Is
Termed Unavoidable
GAFFNEY, S. 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.

Capitol
Square
Daily Star Bureau
Asso. 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

ing $277,000, including architect’s

pancy.
The cost of the new hospital, with
equipment and nurses home, is now

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.
