Many a time a news photographer has asked Mrs. Hooper to pose for a picture. She’s always been very gracious and polite about it, but also very firm in saying “No." She 1 meant it. The other night her daughter in-law, Mrs. Glenn Hooper, Jr. was I hostess to a group of young ladies planning the “Mothers March On Polio’’ campaign.

Howard, prominent Dunn banker, business, civic, social and religious leader, last night was acclaim ed as Dunn’s “Man Os The Year.” He was selected for the award by his fellow citizens because of his “tireless work and efforts for j the betterment of this community' in the various fields.” Mr. Howard was announced as the “Man of the Year” at the re cent Chamber of Commerce ban quet, but could not be present due to a death in his family.

As a result of taking part in a similar survey in 1950, he is now practically re covered from tuberculosis, something he did not suspect hd had. Clark, who was working in the Erwin Mills at Erwin, when the survey was made in 1950, admits now that he felt a bit foolish when he took the test then. "Everyone else was taking the tests, though,” he says, “sq I thought I might as well take them too.” ‘I had never been really ill,” he declared, “and the last thing I ex pected was to find that I had tu berculosis. I’d always thought that if a man was sick he had to feel that way.” The 25 minutes he spent waiting in line then, he now admits, may have been the means of saving his life. For when the report came back on the film, he was told that in all probability he was a victim of this (Ehv jEtailtj Jljetitrd Clarence E.

Another X-stay confirmed the preliminary report. His first reaction was one of stun ned unbelief. It just couldn’t have happened to him. “I felt fine, I hadn't lost' any weight, and there were certainly no indications that there was anything wrong with me physically,” Clark said. HARD TO ACCEPT He thought that the first report might have been caused by a mix up in the films, but when a second X-ray confirmed the diagnosis, he reluctantly accepted the fact, that in spite of appearances, he was a very sick man. With three children, his first thought was that he must get away (Continued On Pare Three) DUNN, N. C., FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 23, 1953 May Confirm Defense Chief First Session Os New Cabinet Is Held Today WASHINGTON (IP) Pre sident Eisenhower and his cabinet met for two hourS today in their first formal session, but those present refused to disclose what was discussed. Vice President Richard M. Nixon told newsmen afterwards that it would be the practice after all cab inet meetings for the members to efrain from any discussion of what goes on at a meeting. He said this also would apply to the general subject discussed. Nixon said this stemmed from an undersanding among the cabinet members and the President during a pre-inaugural meeting at Eisen hower headquarters in New York City. All Nixon would say about today’s meeting was. “It was handled just as well as the first iheeting in New York.” SET MEETING Nixon said the first meeting be tween Mr. Eisenhower and Republi can congressional leaders would be held some time next week.
