Rockefeller, “the richest man in the world”, de clared “My greatest fortune in life has been my son.” And in the story of that son, “John D. Roskefeller, Jr.,: A Portrait”, Author Raymond B. Fosdick tells us this fatherly pride was excited above all else by the prodigious, devoted and effective efforts of John D. Jr., to keep the Rockefeller millions going out as fast as they came in! The book, which is condensed in the July issue of the Reader’s Digest, relates that the younger Rockefeller, who did not like business, decided at 36 to divest himself as far as he could of business challenge may well have been the Jovian prophecy made to his father by Frederick T. Gates, an old family friend and former Baptist minister. “Your fortune,” Gates had thundered at John D., “is rolling up like an avalanche! You must distribute it faster that it grows! If you do not, it will crush you and your children and your children’s children!” Whatever the cause, the Rockefeller bounties which John D. had begun when a clerk in his teens, and which by the early 1900’s included the founding of the Univer sity of Chicago, gained new impetus and grew hundreds of millions upon hundreds of millions. They were given to the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, the Gen eral Education Board, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission—which eradicated hook worm in the South—the International Health division, which dealt with malaria, yellow fever and other dread diseases throughout the world. Still more Rockefeller millions went into the restora tion of the Palace Versailles and the more familiar Co lonial Williamsburg, and for the site of the United Na tions. “The handicaps that shape human life,” says Mr. Fos dick, “take many forms—poverty, deformity, ill health, an unhappy environment. In the case of John O. Rocke feller, Jr., the handicap was wealth—a stifling kind of wealth that might have sapped his energies and blighted his life.” riefly, the Digest story is that of a man born to adversity who rose to geatness. Margaret's Boy Friend “A girl of 27 and a man of 23—what's so terrible about that?” So asks the Daily Express in commenting upon the rumored romance of Princess Margaret, the "girl” in ques tion, and Lord Patrick Beresford, the “man." Sure, what’s wrong with that? Nothing that a key to Buckingham Palace wouldn’t cure, eh Pat? A writer in the Journal of the American Medical As sociation has this to say about weight-reducing drugs: "No known drug or compound may safely be taken with out medical advice to cause loss of weight. The word “safe ly’ deserves emphasis, since some drugs, which have suc ceeded in taking off pounds, have had the disadvantage of making some people blind and killing others.’’ U. S. News &, World Report observes that U. S. demand for foreign automobiles is growing "at a surprising rate.’’ These imports—consisting mostly of small, extremely eco nomical machines—accounted for only 0.6 per cent of the U. S. car market in 1954. This year the figure is expected to be about 3 per cent. Inflation note: The Wall Street Journal reports that a company decided to tear down an unusued smokestack built in 1921. The original cost of the structure was $8, 740—but it cost $13,470 to dismantle it. A McGraw-Hill survey finds that American manufac turers will spend $7,300,000,000 on research this year, for an all-time record. **|f you jwk me, it look* like our front room after Junior’* crowd leave*!’’ CATCHING FROM EVERY SIDE DAILY RECORD CARTOON BY SUSAN BLACK Mother told him there'd be times like these!

During the Fourth of July per iod, customers at his service sta tion on West Broad street are re ceiving beautifully printed facsi miles, suitable for framing, of the Declaration of Independence. There is John Hancock's signa ture, big enough for the king to «ee it, and the immortal words by Thomas Jefferson beginning, "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connect'd them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the sepa rate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's Ood entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requir es that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation . . .

Federal Judgeship New Feud Shaping Among State GOP GREENSBORO (UP)—A new feud may be shaping up in the Republican Party in North Carolina over the selec tion of a successor to retiring federal Judge Johnson J. Hayes of Wilkesboro. President Eisenhower Monday approved the 71-year-oid Jurist's application for retirement as pre siding judge of U. S. Middle Dis trict Court here, a post he has held since 1927. The question of a successor has boiled down to a choice between U. S. Dist. Atty. Edwin M. Stanley of Greensboro and Hayes’ nephew, Kyle Hayes of Wilkesboro. Clinic {Ontlnned from Pat* One) address to having the X-ray pic ture made requires only two mi nutes. Those tested will receive a report on this picture from the State Board of Health within three weeks. A health educator will be on hand in Harnett three weeks prior to the clinic for the purpose of publicizing the program. Dr, Smith said even those who were checked by one of the mobile units in oth er years should be encouraged to return; a person with clear lungs a year- ago might have an advanc ed cast of t. b., today. Dr. Smith chose 1953 as a sam ple year to show the effectiveness of the t. b. program. At that time there were five units throughout the county. From 1700 tested 71 showed signs of tuberculosis, 16 oi these needing hospitalization In addition 200 enlarged hearts and blood vessels showed up, many ol which had not been discovered be fore. Among those departments rep resented at the meeting were the local Health Board. Education Welfar.e and Home Demorrstration Departments. Immediately after wards Dr. Smith met with the County Commissioners to review the plans. A second meeting con cerning the mobile units will be held in November. White Lake (Continued From Page 1) "The wind had been blowing pretty strong here for the past sev eral days,” she said. ‘‘But it was calnr this morning or we may have all been burned out.'* She said the private residences and tourist facilities were "pretty fullf' lof vacaitioners. ’Everybody started dragging their things out when the flames got pretty big,’ said. Mrs. Duncan said that temper ary bath houses will be construct ed to take care of the holiday crowds and ”we are going to try' tc proceed pretty much as usual dur ing the holiday.” Stanley has the backing of a bout 75 per cent of the attorneys in the 28 counties making up tlie district and of one of the state’s most influential Republicans, Endorse Hayes At a meeting Saturday in Win ston - Salem, Republican commit teeman from the district endorsed Hayes, the party’s 1956 gubernat orial candidate. Hayes edged Stanley on the third ballot for the endorsement. The effect of the endorsement, however, remains to be seen. Atty Gen. Herbert Brownell, whose recommendation the Presi dent will follow in making the appointment, has igtiored such recommendations in the past, once in a case involving Stanley. There was a strong indication Monday that Brownell might fol low the same course this time. Sim A. DeLapp of Lexington, probably the state’s most influen tial Republican, reaffirmed hfe support of Stanley for the post. DeLapp, state campaign mana ger for the President in 1952 and a close friend of Brownell, said "this is a judicial appointment, not just political. Stanley is the best qualified on the basis oi experience and ability.” Stanley ‘Best Chance’ He added that he belivcs Stanley has “the best chance b> far” of obtaining the appointment Hayes meanwhile, charged thal “disgruntled elements" in tht Republican Party had tired tc identify him, incorrectly, with ‘he so-called “old guard" of the party He reaffirmed his 'faith in and loyalty to the President, a step he said he had not believed il would be neccessary to take. Hayes said that groups support ing Stanley are trying to "place me in the position of being againsl the President and Mr. Stanley foi him.” He also warned that if Brownell bypasses the party recommendat ion as he did in 1953 by appoint ing Stanley it will be a "serious blow to the organization and would damage party solidarity.” home for weekend William Holland, who is attend ing summer school at the Univer sity of North Carolina, visited hi: parents Mr. and Mrs. Harney Hoi land over the weekend.

J. — Humor could save many marriages from the divorce courts, a West Coast domestic counselor said today. Reinhold R. Bietz, of Los An geles, told the 54th annual confer ence of New Jersey Seventh Day Adventists that many of the irri tations which lead couples to call a marriage finished “could be shut out by a sense of humor. “Many homes have been shat tered to pieces by the hard rocks of selfishness, spite and hate,” Beitz said. “In order to be happy a partnership must have two par ties who are cheerful most of the time.” *■ 4 IT There are many things in life which are not to be laughed at, he said, but there are many oth ers which could be a funny inci dent instead of an irritation if we would look at them properly. Coats Farmers See Nurseries Thirty-three farmers from the Coats area went to Hartsville, S. C., last week for a look at the to bacco breeding nurseries on the Coker farms there. Headed by Ag Teacher G. W. Dixon, the group looked over new varieties of heavy-bodied, orange leaf tobacco (low to moderate ni cotine content) which the breed ers are developing for 1958 pro duction. The farmers took a long look at the various new weeds, which represent an attempt to blend fa vorable characteristics with re sistance to black shank and wilt. The seed company’s president Robert R. Coker, said his firm will release three and possibly four new flue-cured varieties foi 1958.

Water Bill Hike Will Be 10 Percent Water bills, sated to go up a full 20 percent as the re sult of action taken a week ago by Dunn’s town board, will only go up ten percent. I r That was the result of a meet l ing last night to give further eon i sideration to the tentative bud i get now in the process of adopt ion. . Commissioners also took care - to spell out the uses of the ten per - cent raise: All money from this s source will be devoted to the wa f ter improvements program — of i which Dunn has lots coming. The issue became controversial 8 locally when it was said that the - 20 percent increase w’ould be used • to finance an all-hands raise for the town’s 58 employes. • Those raises, as tentatively ap • proved, remain in the budget but • presM*Tiably will be financed out of the general fund. City Clerk Charles Storey said that none of - the raises was removed from the 8 budget last night. Mayor Ralph Hanna has stated he supports the pay raises on grounds that good city employes s will be lost to other jobs if he - does not. Several other actions were tak en last night besides the decision to make the water bill hike ten percent. Motor Credit Co. was authoriz - ed to keep a wooden fence they • have established if it is kept 12 s inches off ground. City Manager A. B. Uzzle Jr., was instructed to charge a $25 fee to anyone who wishes to tap on new’ water mains t from old ones. The board decid r ed that a house recently “sold” - to Pope and Mixon will be adver tised for resale if payment Is not made within 90 days. A rezoning petition by Max Mc Leod for two lots was approved. The lots were changed from resi dential to business. They are at the Northeast corner of Carr St. and Layton Ave. and north of Carr St. and on the West side of Fay etteville Avenue. Trees blown down in the storm Friday night brought a fine little discussion about property respon sibility. The board decided that where town trees fell on private property, the town will remove; where private trees fell on town property the town forces will re move and charge property own ers for the “portion on his pro perty only.” VISITED GRANDMOTHER Charles Broughton of Durham visited his grandmother Mrs. C.E.
