The body of his wife, Lou Kenry Hoover, will be disinterred at Stanford University in Califor nia and brought to West Branch for reinterment at his side. Hoover, one of the great hu manitarians of World1 War T and the post war period, lived for years in fhe shadow of the disas trous economic depression whidh occurred during his administration. Eut he emerged again in World War II and its aftermath as a re vered participant in domestic and world affa’rs Hoover, who was 90 last Au gust 10, had the distinction of living longer as an ex-president than any other .chief executive, r,’though John Adams lived six months loiter in his 90th yPer than Hooker. His death left ? onlv two forme: presidents - Harry F. Truman and Owight D, Bisen hower Hoover had 'been more'or less inactive ''tree last February when he was bedded by an old kidnev ailment and respiratory condi tion. He had his gall bladder re moved in 1958, underwent surgery for a grow h in his bowel in 1962 and was stricken by anemia and intestinal bleeding in 1963. His survival after each of these setbacks was described by physici ans at “miraculous.” Through it all Hoover continued work on the forth and final volume of his auto, b-.ographv, “An American Epic” his 30th ioook It was published last May. The “grand old man of the Grand OU Party” was bom a blacksmith’s son and rose to fame and fortune as a mining engin eer. He had a distinguished ca reer of public service behind him when he was elected to succeed President Calvin Coolidge in 1928. defeating Gov. A1 Smith of New York. He had served in the cab inets of Presidents Warren Hard ing and Colidge. But he was proudest of his Services to Democratic Presi dent Woodrow Wilson in World War I when he headed up re lief services in Europe and dis tributed over $5 billion worth of food between 1914 and 1923. Khe headed the European food program again in 1947 lor President Truman and headed two federal crmmtesions for the re organization of the executive bran ch under Truman and Eisenhower. The economics recommended by the Hoover commission saved the American people an estimated $4 billion. Hoover made his last official public appearance in 1962 on his 83th birthday at the dedication ot the $500,000 Herbert Hoover Li brary in his hometown, West Branch, Iowa. He addressed 45,000 people o.i hand and the nation “as the shadows gathered ar ound me.” In that address, the former president harked back to his boy hood when orphaned by the dea th of his parents he left West Branch at the age of 10 to go to Oregon to be reared by an uncle, a country doctor. “The only material assets I had were two dimes in my pocket the suit of clcfi-hes I wore, and I had some extra underthings pro vided by loving aunts,” he re called af his departure. 3jfe was .eared in the quiet faith of. the Quaker meeting and the necessity Of being frugal. After • .MTip’eting school in the west, he | cut short a budding beginning in j business to accept the advice of an engineer and enter the then rew Stanford University to study engineering. He was graduated in Stanford’s first class in 1895. It was at the university that he met Lou Henry, a geology' student, whom he mar ried in 1895, after already estab lishing himself as a mining en gineer in the gold fields of the west and trier in Australia. By the time he was 24, Hoover was earning $20,000-a-year manag ing mining interests in China. His fume and fortune grew rapidly as he first became a partner in a g;ant British concern and later heeded his own engineering firm. World War I thrust him into public service and virtually end ed his engineering career. First came work repatriating 160,000 Americans caught in Europe by the war, and then heading up the com j ni.ssion for relief in Belgium. His host of U. S- government I posts included U S. food admin istrator and director - general of the American relief administra tion. His humanitarian work in administering relief after the war was hailed throughout the world Then came cabinet rank, ser I ving as secretary of commerce ! from 1921 to 1928 under Hard | ing and Coolldge and finally, in 11.28, the presidency - the 31st in the nation’s history -by virture Red Foe Makes Tour For Barry SEATTLE (UPI) — Yoshiro Kikuchi, a member of the Jap anese diet parliament end vice minister lor science and technol ogy, began a stumping tour for Republican presidential candidate Burry Gold water Sunday Kikuchi told a news conferen ce at the beginning of an Am erican tour that a strong U. S. stand against communism is vital for world ireedom and that Gold water is best equipped to take it, Kikuchi said: “From what I have read and observed, it does not appear that [he present administration is mak ing a firm enough stand against communism.” The Japanese cfficial said he was not representing or speak ing for the Japanese government and said ,ie was footing the bill lod his trip. Ho said he wanted co make Americans realize the im portance of the Nov. 3 elections. of his election victory over A1 Smith. The V/f.ll St. crash, the de pression ana the resurgence of thp Democrats - who heaped the t!ame for the economic bust on Hoover _ combined to sweep Ho over from the White House, and Franklin D. Roosevelt into it in 1933. Hoover, embittered at Roose velt. did rot visit the White House again until after FDR’s death in 1945, then at President Harry S. Truman's invitation. The voice of Hoover raised ag ainst growing federal powers was heeded by few during the 1930’s. After Wcrid War II, he returned to public •ife. undertaking a round -the-world survey for Truman on post-war food needs. Twice ne was called upon to head up commissions on the or ganization of the executive branch jf the government, in 1947-49 and 1953-55. About 30 per cent of the com mission’s recommendations on streamlining the government were adopted. Hoover was a prominent fig ure at both of Dwight D. Eisen hower’s inaugurations to the pdes idency. At the Republican convention in Chicago tn 1960, Hoover bid his official farewell to the party, an swered by a loud chorus of “noes” from the delegates. “Unless some miracle comes to me from the Good lord, this is .ft,” he said. After the death of his wife in 1944, Hoover spent less and less time at, their Palo Alto, Calif, home, prefening to live and wort at his New Work apartment.

The ADA has been in the forefront of the battle ag rinst congressional committees seeking to uncover Communists and Comrrvunist agents in the USA. It advocates abolition of the House UnAmerican Activities Commit tee. Sen Hubert Humphrey was one of the founders of ADA, which promotes all socialistic and left wing causes. It favors bigger go vernment, more controls, heavier spending and appeasement of Communism. Despite his relatively high rat ing among the N. C. delegation. Rep. Henderson, with a voting average of 40 per ceirt, does not regard himself as a favorite with the ADA by any means Humphrey received a 100 per cent, rating by the ADA.

Pending an autopsy, authori ties listed ihe cause of death as apparent srtangllng The victim, who was known to neighbors as a pretty child! with an "angelic face,” was tscorted to the church where the Brownie meeting was scheduled by her mother. Police said Ebbs unlocked the church door for Janet, allowed her to enter and then attacked her before she could reach the meeting room. The girl’s mother, Mrs. James B. Young, returned to the church when the Brownie meeting was scheduled to end but found the building empty She telephoned the Brownie leader, Mrs. Thelma Lebrlght, who said Janet never arrived at the meeting. The dis traught mother then called police. A team of police searched the neighborhood and the church for more than an hour before find ing the frail child’s body In the tumace.

He would be a Socialist ! it he got to England.” Dunn's Auctioneer son when that was the world’s lar gest tobacco market. Gilbert hu helped Dunn’s mar ket grow this year. Three years ago It was a good year on the one buyer market here if the mart sold 6,000,000 pounds of tobacco. Two years ago the mart suddenly sp urted to around 13,000,000, then last year it was 10 million and this year under Gilbert Stephen ron’s auctioneer and a good bunch of tobaco buyers and warehouse men the Dunn market will have sold around 12 million pounds by the time the season’s over. How much does Gilbert Ste ohenson make autioneering a sea con? It’s hard to tell. The average auctioneer who fol lows the markets from Georgia to Kentucky makes between $15,000 and $25,000 In a year and walks literally hundreds of miles a sea son. *1 The life of such a auctioneer in sofar as his work is concerned is usually 25 years. NO EASY JOB J. J. Gibbson, who used to be one of the top auctioneers and warehouseman in the business in Wilson twenty years ago once said that “if an auctioneer can work ?5 years he’s doing good.” The jobs not easy. You have to know all about the numberless grades of tobacco and have to know the various signals from bid ding buye”=. Tom Burton, one of ‘he top men in the business in Wilson once said that “not a sin gle buyer has the same signal to ted you a bid ” Some raise their eyebrows, some crook a huger, some actually bid verbally, bur all are different and when you sell 360 piles of the ■weed an hour you have a job to do. But being the best dressed auc tioneer in the business in another thing altogether and that’s Gil bert Stephenson Dunn’s auction eer. But “Steve” seems to do every • hing good even in war. In world War two he won the Purple Heart, ihe Silver Star and a number of ether citations but he never talks about them. The Stephensons have two fine children who are all American kids too But to visitors on the Dunn Market this season the well dres sed man on the auctioneer line is Gilbert Stephenson . . . The j bast dressed auctioneer in the I business. Postmen Put Into us* on a nationwide ba sis. The American Kennel Club, The American Humane Assn., The Popular Doss Publishing Co., and the Humane Society of The U.

When hit by the spray the dog will immed iately retreat and the effects will ast for approximately 10-15 min utes, when the dOg will return to normal. The spray will leave a yellowish discoloration on the hair of the dog which is removable by washing. The spray leaves the dog with no damage or harmful clfects. Dog bite Injuries account for 18% of all Injuries to Postal per sonnel each year. Postal employees sustain 7,0o0 such painful injuries annually, resulting in serious loss of sick leave and costly medical treatment. The annual estimated cost of these injuries to the Podt Office Department is approximate ly one million dollars. It is the dog owners responsibility to con trol his dog. This has been a longtime trouble spot in tht Pos 'al Service In spite of the fact that postmasters have frequently requester patrons to control their clogs, and have discontinued ser vice to control this problem, in juries have continued to mount. Therefore the Dept, has author ized the use of this repellent. Three Couples Given Divorce Opal Thompson was given a divorce from James Thompson, Jr. in Harnett Recorder's Court D. G.
