•America has grown great,” said
his announcement, "because —In the
B main—it has feared Ood, worked
w hard and stood courageously against
all tyrannies. Those principles
and those alone—can keep us great
and keep the world free and at
peace.
“It takes a Congressman, able,
willing and working tirelessly, to
do his part and his district's part
to win this goal,” asserted Tally
adding, “I would try to give the

A sentatlon.”
iCARLVLE RUNNING
Congressman Carlyle, now roun
ding out his second term, has made
no formal announcement for re
nomination and is expected to
make none.
In Washington recently, a re
porter asked him when he planned
to announce for renomination and
the Lumberton lawmaker replied:
"I have never withdrawn the an
• nounccmcnt I made before my first
race: I'm still running.”
“In this day and time,” added
Carlyle, "if you wait until election
year to begin running, it’s generally
too late. As for myself. I've been
running all along, just like I - told
you.”
Whether or not there wUI be
other candidates in the race was
still a matter of speculation today.
Mayor Tally said in his state
ment that he plans to announce tt
a full program of action at an ap

Fear River is the only major river
In the United States that has not

Club Is Told About
Early Days Os Dunn
Herbert Taylor, who served the'
town of Dunn for four two-year
terms as jnayor and four years as
treasurer, gave the members of the
Dunn Rotary Club a mind’s-eye
view of the early days of Dunn at
the meeting Friday night.
The original name of the town,
he said, was Pope’s Station. Later
it became Lucknow, from which
we get the name Cl the present
Lucknow Square, and finally Dunn.'
Tear Shirt, he declared, was nev
er the name of the town itself,
but rather the nickname of a par
ticular section, and not the better <
section, by any means.
Harking back to 1889, he said
that the old Hotel Divine, from
which Divine Street gets its name
stood where the Coca-Cola plant
now stands, and was the favorite
stopping place for travelers.
The oldest native of Dunn, he
said, was Mr. L. Busbee Pope, Srr,
whose family were original settlers.
J. Lloyd Wade, he said was the
second oldest. He reminded his lis
teners, that although there are old
er residents, they came from an
other section and were not Dunn
natives.
Pope's pond, he said, was once
the site of pleasant fLshing and,
although the pond Is gone, the
dam is still near where the Boy
Scout hut now stands.
DUNN’S FIRST CHURCH
Dunn’s first church was erected
at about the spot on which the
center of the Baptist-Church now
stands, he said. It grew from a
Union Sunday School, in existence
before the church, and was a Bap
tist Institution. This Sunday School
occupied an old buggy shop across
from the present John A. McKay
home.
Dunn’s first school, called the
Progressive Institute, Taylor re
lated, stood at a spot about where
the Catholic Church now stands.
He paid high tribute to the early
settlers, who, returning after the
carnage of the war between the
states, rebuilt the ecommunlty and
started it on the road to the prog
ress it has enjoyed.
Enlivened by anecdotes, many of
them familiar to his listeners, Tay
i tor’s address, something off the
[beaten track, provided one of the
| most Interesting of recent programs
for the club.

(Cootinned from page 1)
Rev. Mr. Dunn admitted that he
went to Europe with prejudice but
that, after seeing the Workings df
the Marshall plan, he became a
Marshall Plan convert. “We*re not
giving them anything,” he declar
ed, “we will get full value for our
Investment.”
TELLS OF ZURICH
From France he went to Zurich, in
Switzerland, a country that has
been without a war in 150 years.
He ascribed this to the fact that
the Swiss have universal military
training, wherein each man from
25 to 55 is a soldier, and every bridge
and pass is mined agalnSt a pos
sible invasion.
The Swiss have no slum areas,
no • unemployment and enjoy an ex
tremely high standard or living, he
declared. This was a decided con
trast to the next country he vis
ited, Austria, where the conditions
are wretched.
The visit to Vienna was timed too
coincide with the recognition of
the Methodist Church. Passing
through the Russian zone, he was
warned not to take any and
to remain unsmiling while papers

Some Illinois Democrats here,
