recent research on the visitor have fairly unanimously

Surely the least expected ap

“Mariyn Monroe is a sweet, sen

freshingly naive and simple: Gla

It's the childlike almost plaintive

impression.”
The quality might seem less
than genuine if it failed to evoke
a romplementary response in wo
men. But instead of talons, she
unsheathes her maternal among
housewives who entertain no
hopes of competing with her phy

“She seems so uncertain of her

Russia dropped its candidate,
Roland, after five ballots and
spread the word it would accept
Yugoslavia as an "Eastern Euro

since Yugoslavia’s election over
Czechoslovakia in 1949 was the
first break in the 1946 “gentle

to a Soviet-bloc country.

Demoted Deacon
May Quit Himself
Last week fellow deacons in the Second Baptist
Church, where a recent flareup occurred resulting in
the ousting of several members, voted to may* Willie
Norris new chairman of the board of
J. W. Daniels, who
serving in that post. sais *today
that he thought the action ql the
deacons was brought qn by his
stand on the ousting of the mem
bers who were charged with “sub
versive activities."
“I thought they shouldn’t have
been put out,” he said. “I thought
they had done nothing to be put
out for.”
Daniels did say, however, that
the position of chairman of the
deacons is supposed to rotate each
year and that he had served longer
than a year in that position.
The action taken last week—must
be confirmed by church members.
This will be done at a meeting the
first Wednesday in November.
Asked whether he thought thing?
were clearing up in the Second
Baptist Church. Daniels said, “I
might leave myself If things don’t
get straightened out.”
Rumors have held that some per
sons have withdrawn from the
church since statewide publicity at
tended their ousting of several
members, but the rumors are so
far unconfirmed.
A petition is also reputed to be
circulating among members, calling
for the dismissal of Pastor E. C.
Keller.

Hearings Set
For Next Year
Complaints about crop control
measurements will be aired at hear
ings of the House Agricultural Com
mittee early next year, says James
Spence, attorney for a group of
Harnett County farmers.
Spence said U. S. Representa
tives Harold Cooley wrote him that
he would try to have administra
tion of crop control approved. “He
said he had received complaints
from as far as Arkansas about the
way crops have been measured,”
said Spence.
Present objectives of the Harnett
protest committee, according to
Spence, are to eliminate delay in
measurement of tobacco so farm
ers’ sales cards may be issued in
time for market openings, and to
cut the cost of pre-measurement
remeasurement of crops (only the
original measurement is paid her
for by the government).

the ASC office bill help bring a
