' IT’S A SMALL WORLD,

Mr. and Mrs. John (Red) Lewis
of Lewis Studio in Dunn were in
New York to attend the Interna
tional Photographic Exposition held
in the mammoth New York Coli
seum.
Red reports it was a fascinating
exposition, with ten whole acres
of photographic equipment on dis
play.
An interesting thing happened on
the trip.
Mrs. Lewis and a couple of fri
ends were taking a guided tour of
the big town. At the end of the
tour, the guide on the bus, a eery
pleasant fellow who did an excel
lent job, turned to the crowd and
- asked, “Where’s everybody from?”
The first person he pointed to
was Mrs. Lewis.
"I’m from Dunn, North Carolina,”
she replied.
“Well, what do you know," ex
claimed the guide. "That’s my
4- hometown and my parents live
there on West Broad St."
The guide was David Hardison,
Jr., whose father operates a barber

Cooley said his plan would
slash about $400 million a year
from government spending on the
federal cotton program. The cost
this year is expected to exceed
$800 million.
The bill would continue for two
years the basic thrust of the cot
ton program adopted last year for
the 1964 and 196? crops - use of
federal “equalization payments”
to enable U. S. textile mills to
buy cptton at the same low world
price at which U. S. cotton moves
to foreign mills.
The Cooley bill, certain to stir
hot controversy among grower
groups, would make several major
changes in the present program.
They include: > . • .
Reducing the minimum nation
al cotton planting allotment from
16 million acres to 14 million acres.
Authorizing payment of “equal
ization” subsidies directly to
farmers without any limitation on
the size of payments to individual
farmers.

In the meantime, police said they
had no clues to what happened to
the $550,000 in cash taken on Easter
night last year from a bathroom
adjoining the office of John D.
Hollingsworth.
The daughter of the wealthy man,
Mrs. Mary jf Je Farrell, a 19-year
old blonde living in Miami, said
she would fight extradition to South
Carolina to face charges of also
taking part in the theft.
A third woman, a 52-year-old
missionary for the Associated Re
form Presbyterian Church in Mexico
also is charged with taking part
in the theft.
Mrs. Theo Ducky Kupef, once
employed in Hollingsworth’s plant
and the former (manager of a
beauty salon owned by Mrs. Hol

“She got $5,000 and a kiss on
