Ennis & Co. accounting firm is a quiet, dignified, scholarly young man who looks enough like TV star Gary Moore to be his twin. Thurman C. Ennis is a Harnett native who started out early in life to be a medical doctor but found his true calling in the accounting field. Establishment of his own acccLmt ing firm, and procurement ot his own building fulfilled two or'lfis old ambitions. He established the firm here in June of 1947 and it has enjoyed rapid growth and progress ever since. It is the only accounting firm in the county headed by a certified public accountant and it fills an important need in the county and surrounding area. For several years now, Mr. Ennis’ firm audited the books of the Town of Dunn and the County of Har nett, along with auditing contracts of other towns and counties, and his work has received high praises from the Institute of Local Govern ment, which supervises local gov ernmental units. In addition to directing activities of his Dunn and Fayetteville of fices, Mr. Ennis still finds time to take an active part in business, civic, social and religious affairs of the area and is a “ham” radio operator. Mr. Ennis was born in Coats, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joel Ennis, pioneer leaders of that Harnett town. STUDIED AT UNC He attended the University of North Carolina after graduating from Coats High School. After leaving college, he served for several years as a calculator on various tobacco markets in North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia.

NEWB PHOTOS. . .ADVERTISING COMICS AND FEATURES FIVE CENTS PER COPY Asks Evidence Os Good Faith From Russians WASHINGTON, UP President Eisenhower said today that he would be will ing to make a lot of conces sions in his attitude toward Russia and would favor Big Four talks among foreign ministers after the agree ments to rearm Germany are finally ratified. The President, however, still yuestioned the wisdom of a meet ing of heads of state. He ruled out such a meeting until exploratory talks are held on a lower level. He restated his aesire that Rus sia demonstrate good faith by deeds before any sort of confer ence is held. On the subject of conditions preceding a big power conference, the President said that generally what he wanted more than any thing else is an indication that the Russians were willing to talk busi ness after a long period of vio lating their promises and leaving us out on a limb. SOME FAINT HOPE He conceded that there might be a difference between kis position and that of Chairman Walter F. George of the Senate Foreign Re lations Committee. Georgy renew ed last weekend the idea of a big power meeting. He would pat re quire Russia to meet any partic ular conditions prior to a high level conference. a The chief executive, in a serious and earnest mood during a news conference dominated by Big Four questions, said there had been two relatively recent changes in Rus sian leadership and tills might lpad to faint hope that exploratory tidjes would be valuable. ; If that is the case, the chief executive said, he could make a lot of concessions to carry out arrange ments for a conference of foreign ministers. RED CHINA OUT Because of current conditions in the Far East, he saw no reason even to discuss the possibility of including Red China in any con ference. President Eisenhower said he earnestly believes that pertinent documents of all secret wartime conferences should be made public. But he said they should be used to learn lessons from past mistakes— not to damage reputations or pin blame on participants. Nor should they be used to upset American allies, the President told his news conference. z argtientev=v> toy. j—- J.s*- vmsyjr".?! NO. 77 MR. ALPHIN .. ..
