The song relates that the people of your hometown "will newer, never let you down.” Mayor Hanna, noting earefully 'the words of Miss Black's song, look the occasion to lament the fact that the people of North Car olina had twice let Becky down, but reiterated that the people of her hometown never, never will. Mayor Hanna was referring to the fact that twice Miss Lee had been runner-up in the Miss North Carolina beauty pageant. "It took the people of Virginia to recognize a real queen and they promptly crowned her as Miss Virginia,” said Mayor Han na. “But.” proudly boasted the ma yor, “she still belongs to us and I'm hoping that after she’s crown ed as Miss America next month that she'll come back to Iiunr, to live.” The crowd roared its approval of the mayor’s every word.

It was shocking to the boy because he knew nothing about this,” Skelton said. “Then I had to explain to him” that he ..at "a dying boy.” "As a result of these remarks I sent this man a bouquet of lilies and I told him thai he was sick in mind and body. Then, we lift London,” Skelton said. He said the reporter he referred to was from the London Daily Sketch. Trip a Success Despite their troubles, Skelton said, theentire family thought the trip was a success. "The kids had a lot of fun. Prob ably we would still be there but both of them are anxious to see their little friends back home,” he said.

Skelton later told reporters out of Richard’s hearing that his boy’s illness is now in a “remission period.
