certain. “Everybody In Harnett

seen many a meeting was stumped
However, Howell said another ef
fort to gather community leaders

Some time ago it was debated
whether or not to apply pressure
in order to force property owners
to connect houses in Dunn to water 1
and sewer lines as a sanitary .raea- j
sure. Hcas%v«r r .due to material
shortages, the program was drop

Byrnes Says South
Must Put Up Fight
ATLANTA —(IP)— Gov. James F.
Byrnes of South Carolina said
today that Southern Democrats
must make it plain to the leaders
of all political parties that their
electoral votes no longer can be
taken for granted.
“We want to remain in the house
of our fathers but we are not will
ing to be treated as step-children,”
Byrnes told a joint session of the
Georgia General Assembly.

The former secretary of state,
Supreme Court justice and “assist

legislators he will “do all in my
pow»r” to elect Georgia’s Sen.

Russell seeks the Democratic nom

Democrats in the South, Byrnes
said,' have remained loyal tp the
national Democratic Party in the
past “when it seemed all others
had fled.”
They did so, he said, because
that party remained loyal to “the

ment was established and the Dem-

just how England worships her |
royal family. We never knew be- ’
fore to what degree of esteem a
country could hold her ruler.
The British will “cuss” the Prime 1
Minister and any other official. 1
But no Britisher would think of ■
raising a voice of criticim against '
any member of the royal family. 1
Not that they- couldn’t—they slm- :
ply love the royal family and don’t
want to. 1
Anything the King or Queen does
is news on the Island of Britain.
Once in a while, the King will,
stop and chat with a policeman—'
or a bobby, as they call them. The ]

come.
It so happened that on the pre- j
vious afternoon the King and Queen
and two princesses had attended
the show.
We got quite a kick out of hearing
the British seated around us com
menting.
"THE KING SAT THERE”
“Tta King sat in that chair
thenC” mm perron would point out.
“Yes, and the Princess sat right
there,” another would point out. I
must go down after the show and
see where my little Princess sat.”
“I do wish we had khown when
they were coming,” sighed a woman
right behind us. I’d have given
•most anything I own Just to get a
glimpse of them.”
The closest we got to the royal
family In England was to be in the
same hotel one day when the Queen .
was having luncheon there.
We had been having luncheon ,
with an old friend, E. C. Daniel,
Jr., of The New York Times, form
erly of Dunn, at the regal old Can
nought Hotel. As we; came out, we
saw a crowd gathered around on
the other side of the hotel.
GATHER ABOUT CARRIAGE
It was then we learned that the
Queen was attending a private lun
cheon Inside. Hundreds had gath
ered just to have a look at the royal
carriage. .
All Americans, accustomed to say
ing anything we please about our
officials, are impressed with the rev
erent feeling the British have to
ward their royal family.
Mr. and Mrs. John Alien Mc-
Leod, 8r„ of Dunn were in Can

THREE LIVING QUEENS
Queen Elizabeth became today the
first female sovereign of Great Brit
ain since Queen Victoria, and the
fourth British monarch since 1936.
Her ascension to the throne gave
Britain three living queens—the new
sovereign, her mother Queen . Eliz
abeth and Queen Mary, the late
King George Vi’s mother. _
England alwas has flourished 'in*
der female sovereigns. Queen Elizt
abeth stopped the Spaniards in
I the 16th century; Queen Anne was
- on the throne when Scotland and
England were united in 1707; and
under Queen Victoria the British
empire was established. **
Elizabeth becomes queen whfti
the fortunes of the British are at
a low ebb, in contrast to the day
when her illustrious predecessor
Queen Victoria, ascended the throne.
Then the Hag of the British em
pire and the mark of its influ
! ence followed the sun around tKe
world. ■ a
The new queen has been train
ed all her life for the job wKicfl
puts her at the head of a vast em
pire whose fate may be at stake.
ORDINARY GIRL
In some respects, Elizabeth’s life
has been like that of an ordinary
girl. Once, she was caught with
jam on her face, emerging from
the kitchen. “Papa”—the future
king of Britain—spanked her.
She liked riding and swimming
and outdoor sports. Shq learned
to play the piano and mastered
French fluently—which endeared
her to the French during a visit
there a few years ago.
Elizabeth was a Girl Guide,
then a Ranger. During the war
she lived on short rations and work
; ed on trucks as a member of the
Auxiliary Territorial Service. >t .‘
But Elizabeth never forgot— and
let no one let her forget— that she
was a member of the royal faring,
destined someday to be quaen.
She was still little “Lilibrt"
when old King George V lay dj&V
and sent for her to cheer him up.
She was not quite 10 whert he died
in 1936.
Elizabeth only once met the
American woman whose love for
Edward VIII was to put her, Eliza
beth, on the throne. It was a strain
ed meeting when “Uncle David”
brought Mrs. Wallis Simproa *to
meet her father, “Bertie.”
Then Edward ! abdicated (and
George VI was king. Elizabeth, at
. 1, became heiress presumptive, lh
April the new queen will be 28.
When her lather became king
the family moved to Buckingham
Palace and Elizabeth began her
: Raining to be a queen. Court ftUfci
. ternaries taught her the traditions
. of royalty and how to chat with
i potentates and fishwives. When she
; was in 18 1944, she became a mroq
. ber of the Council of State, whist
rules Britain when the king is ab
' sent or ill.
And the “only man” waa Lt

young naval officer, descendant al

Elizabeth was at ease with Phil

charming and intelligent and had
all the makings of a prince conafiK.

him.
