Social News Mrs. Clyde Cannon, Editor Phone 434-M R. L. Greenlee Guest Speaker At Greenlee D. A. R. Meeting • The Members of the Greenlee Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution were the guests of Mrs. F. S. Bradsher at her home at Green lee Saturday evening. Mrs. Lester Dawkins of Hickory presided. After a formal opening, business was disposed with dispatch. The program chariman present ed R. L. Greenlee who gave a most interesting review of Philips Rus sell's book, "The Woman Who Rang rang the Bell." "The Woman Who Rang the Bell" is the story of "Cornelis Philips Spencer's love for a sleepy Southern village and the Universi ty it contained." Mrs. Spencer more than any other person was responsible for the reopening of the University af ter it had closed during the Recon struction period. Mrs. Spencer was a remarkable woman with a bril liant mind, a trenchant pen and a talent for leadership. She used all three of these in the service of the University. Her personality was ex- j traordinary. As y.ears passed gen erations of students came under her influence, said one of the stu- j dents, "she simply radiated some-; thing invisible and inspiring, a sort of magnetic field. She could furn-; ish a room simply by sitting there." ( She become known as "the smart-1 est woman in Narth Carolina'^and Governor Vance said, "the smart est man, too." ! 'The Woman Who Rang the Bell," is much more than a bio graphy of Mrs. Spencer for it is' through her letters, diaries and ar ticles which has been skillfully wo ven into the story that the readerj sees vivid pictures of life at Chap-; el Hill. They not only cover the his- j lory of the University but to some the history of the entire State dur- i ing her lifetime. Mrs. Spencer was living in Chap el Hill when Greenlee was a • i student at the University. He was, personally acquainted with her and! her family. The author is the winner of this year's Mayflower award for his volume "The Woman Who Rang! the Bell". He is a great-nephew of j Mrs. Spencer and is a Professor of Journalism at the University of North Carolina. Last spring while attending the' Commencement exercises at the University, the author visited with j and presented Greenlee w i t h i an autographed copy of his book. ; At the conclusion of the review j the Chapter members sang, "Hap-1 py Birthday to You" and Mrs. Daw-, kins presented "Uncle Bob" with a TOO Thursday and Friday December 8—9 "CALAMITY JANE AND SAM BASS" Yvonne DeCarlo Howard Duff Saturday, December 10 "RANGE JUSTICE" Johnny Mack Brown Max Terhune !also Three Stooge Comedy and Chap. 7 of Batman and Robin J Monday and Tuesday !
