BOUQUETS FOR RECORD;
OTHER LITTLE NOTES
The Daily Record, if you’ll par
don our pride, is the largest daily
newspaper in the South—and pos
sibly in the entire nation—in a
town the side of Dunn. Visitors,
particularly business executives and
advertising men, invariably express
amazement to find such a news
paper in Dunn.
Each issue of this newspaper
finds its way into such diverse pla
ces as the private lounge used omv
by members of Congress in the
House of Representatives, the Tate
Club in New York, the libraries Of
the State’s Universities, into the
executive offices of some of the
nation’s largest corporations, into
tents and barracks of service men
and women in foreign countries all
over the world and into homes oi
farmer Harnett residgnts and
others in practically all of the 43 j
states. All are paid subscribers.
It's an asset to the town and
county which many local people
often fail to appreciate, althougn
our friend Dave Kimrnel always
flatteringly refers to The. Record
as “fantastic” and compares It with
the newspapers in Richmond. Va.

FIRST TIME SINCE CHRIST?
Virgin Birih Claim
Backed By Doctors
LONDON (IB — A report on a detailed study by a fogm
of eminent doctors gave cautious support today to a mo
ther’s claim she bore a fatherless child in a virgin birth.
The report did not substantiate
the claim. But it said the doctors
could not disprove It through the
series of exhaustive tests they made
on the mother and her 11-year-old
daughter.
The report, written for the au
thoritative medical journal “The
Lancet,” was signed by Dr. Stan
ley Balfour-Lynn, an obstetrician.
As resident medical officer at
Queen Charlotte's hospital, one of
tendon’s foremost maternity hos
pitals, he headed the investiga

WILL USE "ALL MEANS" TO CURB DRIVERS
Bloody Weekend Not Wanted
The highway patrol in
cancelling all leave, and pa
trolmen will work around
the clock this weekend in an
effort to control the pre -
Fourth crowds and save
them from harm.
Harnett had a real taste of
bloodshed last weekend, when
three wrecks occurred at one
time, and a number of others, ma
jor and minor, caused great dam
age and personal injury.
M of today, the state of North
Carolina has had one more traffic
fatality this year—48S—that It did
last year at the same date.
Fourth of July crowds are his
torically the most accident-prone
, group to take to the highways. The
calendar has provided a slight
v
break for patrolmen by putting
the Fourth In the middle at the
week—it falls next Wednesday—
but law enforcement officers still
expect a tremendous flow of traf
fic to the beaches on this coming
weekend.
Corporal RommJe Williamson,
head of Harnett's highway patrol
officers, said today that It is cer
tain to be the biggest weekend of
the year, and he and his men will
do what they can to prevent it
from being the bloodiest, too.
"We are going to employ all
means to curb accidents," said
Corporal Williamson. '.Electrical
device* will be used 34 hours a
day. We will employ a saturation
technique and checking station."
On roads leading to the beaches,
he said, patrolmen will be placed
at intervals. The patrol wants no
repetition of the type of Fourth of
July ipekend often, experienced
in the past.

Marilyn Happy On
Eve Of Marriage
NEW YORK (IP) — Marilyn Monroe, about to become *
a bride for the third time, is “bubbling over” with hap
piness. ____
It was Just 14 years ago that she
made her first try for love and
companionship in a teenage mar
riage.
The June bride of 1942 was Nor
ma Jean Mortenson. a foster child,
who later described her marriage
to 21-year-old James Dougnerty as
“for convenience only." It kept
her from being returned to the or
phanage.
Now Norma Jean is a woman of
SO, and any similarity between
the brown-haired bride of 16 and
the silver-haired movie star who
is marrying Arthur Miller, one at
the nation’s top playwrights, is
'tricby accidental. Miss Monroe
vcu’d like to forget about her un
happy childhood and her unfor
tunate first marriage, which end
ed in divorce after four years.
SELDOM IN LOVE
Her name has become autono

romances have been fewer than
many glamorous movie queens. Her
career came first for yean after
