McKay Manufac- V turing Company, has discovered W that the Government Patent Office in Washington works a lot slower than the wheels of commerce. By the time it takes to get an invention patented, it can become obsolete on the market. The Daily Record received notice from the patent office the other day that the young Dunn indus trialist had ibeen issued a patent on an adjustably mounted stalk cutting implement. # ' Sensing a story, we called Leon to ask him about it. “Oh, that thing,” said Leon, “I’d almost forgotten about it and as far as I’m concerned they can forget about it, too.” Leon said that at the time he ap plied for the patent it was a good thing and he was using it on some of the farm equipment his company manufactures. “But since hen,” he explained, “we’ve made still other improve ments and it’s practically of no use at all now." To add to Leon’s harrassment, it was late at night and we had got ■ (Continued On Page Two) *Palmer Will Speak At Chamber Event 4 \ Fred Palmer of Columbus, Ohio, nationally - known after-dinner speaker and sales consultant, will deliver the principal address at Dunn’s annual Chamber of Commerce banquet on Friday night, January 21 at 7 o’clock in the Dunn High School cafeteria. •;His was announced It this morning' by Chamber Manager ; j«Ed Carroll. < ” Other features of the annual banquet will include presentation of annual civic awards to Dunn’s o“Man Os The Year,” "Woman Os The Year” and “Young Man Os The Year.” Carrqd expressed delight at Pal gr*' mer’s acceptance to deliver the ad -1 dress.

(IPI A motion picture premiere, was held under water for the first time Mon day night, but I was too busy try ing to keep from drowning to see the film.

Most of the press, plus actresses Debbie Reynolds and Barbara Dar row, observed the film from -the comfort of portholes in two submar ines. One reporter said he prefer red to wait until the picture came to his neighborhood swimming pool. But 24 of us shivering scribes braved the deep to attend the spec ial underwater theatre set up in the crystal clear water near the shore. JANE LEADS WAY Jane Russell, the star of the pic ture, led the way with two oxygen tanks on her back, declaring, “Well, I’ve had to do everything else, I ' might as well do this.” I, too, had to don an aqualung, consisting of the heavy tanks and a harness; a bathing suit and cap, rubber foot flippers, a face masx and an underwater watch. Several scribes brought along ballpoint pens to write such under water reviews as, “in 30 yards the movies have gone from flappers to flippers. . . . It takes much awkward struggling to learn to be a deep-sea skin , diver, and Silver Springs churned all day with reporters making wet (Continued On F«ge Two) imrwjigLi It’s silly to crgue tth o fool.

By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Staff Writer NEW YORK (UV-Higher bosoms and wider waistlines are next sash ion change facing American wo men. It’s anything but he flat look, fellows, so don’t be nervous. Pic ture, if you can, a bustline raised two inches above the present level and a neckline cut down to the current off-shoulder level. The effect is electrifying. However, many of the new spring and summer dresses, which are ibeing previewed publicly for the first time here this week, have modestly high necks, so the change is less startling. As one man who is an executive of a leading foundation garment company explained it: BUST-LINE RAISED “We have raised the bust as much as two inches, distributed the flesh a little more to the side so it doesn’t protrude' and extend away from the body so much and given the American woman a new softness at the top of the bosom that French women have lorife known was very feminine.” If that doesn’t explain it, here’s a specific illustration, although hy pothetical, from the same execu tive. 1 “With a woman built like Jane Russell, for instance, we could 3 raise her bustline two inches, make her look one and one-half inches smaller in the bust—and give her a lovely figure.” • \ Designers have cut dresses and suits to fit a higher bust.

Mans Plan To Get Rich Is Costly A man who tried to get-rich - quick by passing bad money at Wade ended up losing money in stead and had a narrow escape from prosecution by the Federal government. His scheme was bared with two mutilated bills stuck together when he tried to pass some of the mo ney at a Wade grocery stove. N. M. Bullock, owner of the store, turned over the two bills to Rural Policeman David McNeill of Cumberland, who called in a Secret Service agent to investigate. The man’s scheme was to take a S2O bill and split it lengthwise, di viding it into two identical pieces. A $1 bill is then split in a similar manner. Sections of the two S2O and $1 bills are pasted together giving the appearance of two S2O bills at a cost of only s2l. However, the two pieces of the S2O bill and a piece of the $1 bill all stuck together, so the man ac tually lost s2l in the deal instead of S2O. Since the man who passed the bad money at Wade lost money instead of making money, the Se cret Service agent said he could be charged only with mutilating currency. So far, the man, whose identity was not disclosed, has not been apprehended. Secret Service agents are still investigating. MR. CURRIN DIES Walton S. Currin, 59, died at his home in Goldsboro Sunday night. He was a brother of E. M. Currin and O. B. Currin, both of Angier.

He said in twin messages to Con gress that the mail rate increase ‘will be in the public interest” to assure efficient service of the Post Office Department, and the pay raise boost is essential ‘to the fur ther improvement of the federal career service.” He is exptected to ask Thursday for pay raises for members of the armed forces. In an effort to make the Post Office Department self-supporting, he proposed that the postal rates bn the first three clases of mail be increased. He did not spell out the actual proposed increases. He said the postmaster general soon will submit details to raise the rates to ‘more reasonable levels.” However, the administration stand has been that three-cent postage on out-of-town mail should be increased to four cents and air mail upped from six cents to seven. PAPER INCREASE Included in the postal rate plan was a recommendation that tha second class rate on newspapers and magazines be increased ‘until such matter makes a fair and reas onable contribution to postal re venues.” The President recommended that the rate increases be regarded as tentative pending congressional es tablishment of an independent com mission which would have the authority to prescribe future ad justments. He recommended what amounted to an approximate 5 per cent pay raise for all federal ciyilian work ers. He said that Tor the classified or civil service employee this would add about 210 million dollars to the federal payroll. A comparable wage adjustment in the postal service (Continued On Page Two) atmosphere was ruled out. Around 30 persons from all parts of the county attended.
