THE BIEGEST SUCCESS ΤΕΤ
It's all over. Just a little more cleaning up and it will be
forgotten, at least forgotten here.
But the 1952 Fifth Annual Carolinas Yam Festival will
long be remembered over the nation. Many, many people
who were never here before in Yam Festival time made
the visit this time, and those people will long remember
what they saw here.
With the conclusion of this year's event, by far the
most successful Yam Festival in our five year history,
came to a close. Never before have as many people at
tended the three day event. And never before have as
many people been in Tabor City on one day as were here
last Friday. In a nut shell, it was the daddy rabbit of the
festivals so far, and we should feel justly proud.
As in past year's when we attempt to pat those persons
on the back who so roundly deserve it, it is all but impossi
ble to mention everyone in Tabor City whose efforts should
not go unappreciated and unrecognized.
But this year we must take particular pride in the all
out effort put forth by Mr. and Mrs. J. Oliver Prince. As
co-chairmen of the event, they found their time occupied
and their hands full for many weeks. They responded in
true heroic fashion and did a magnificent job. In most
resDects. the festival was very weil organized. Only a few
lapses marred its almost perfect planning.
And again A. C. Edwards, honorary chairman after two
years as head man, deserves some further applause. He
did a fine job at the press dinner attended by almost 200
people, and was an all-around guiding light for the prob
lems of staging this type event.
Not to say something about the efforts of Mrs. Evelyn
Leonard would be most unfair. She handled the advance
publicity on the festival along with a dozen other details
and despite all the work did an excellent job. The huge
crowd that milled around the Tabor City streets is proof
of the greatness of her success in the publicity phase of!
her task. Without the advantages of advertising funds,
Mrs. Leonard still was able to spread the word of the
fifth festival far and wide and succeeded in breaking our
last year's attendance record.
And that all-important task of raising funds through
booth selling was again in the hands of Tabor City's best
sales lady. Mrs. B. A. Garrell has had that mammouth
job for three successive seasons and on every occasion she
has filled the shoes of that committee in a way that no one
else could have done. Without her successful efforts, the
yam festival could not be held. Thus in the long run, Mrs.1
Garrell might well take credit for the event being held
at all.
For the part that the L-ivnan ciuo pia^eu, mc
Legion, the Woman's Club, the school, and many others, j
we salute you with pride for a job well done.
To Charlie Raper, county agent, to Sam Jackson and
other agriculture teachers, and to the N. C. State College
specialists, we say, "thanks, very much."
And to all the others who played a part in its success,
we offer the gratitude of Tabor City, especially to the!
various Home Demonstration Clubs throughout the county
who put their heart and soul in this year's big event.
We doubt seriously that anyone in Tabor City this morn-,
ing would say the Yam Festival is not a great thing for
Tabor City. When time comes to plan another, we will
think back over all the hard work involved and wonder if
it is worth while. But now while the thought of the wide
spread publicity is still fresh in your mind, now while you -
can still see thousands of visitors who came to our town,
is the time to make up our minds to continue to go forward,
ever forwards, with each succeeding festival bigger and
better than the one just passed. We are learning and per
haps some time our children might be relaxing some Wed
nesday morning after a yam festival and say "Well the
Seventy-Fifth Annual Carolinas Yam Festival sure was a
wonderful event. And we set an all time attendance re
cord with that 100,000 people who attended the parade
last Friday."
WAIT FOR THE WINNER
When nominees for the Presidency of the United
State were made, just about every poll in the country said
that Eisenhower was a way out in front in the country and
the public favored him over Stevenson in no uncertain
terms. But as the November 4 election day draws nearer,
the Stevenson forces continue to gain in public support
until today most polls say that the two candidates are
running just about neck and neck.
The next two weeks of political campaigning thus is
supposed to decide who our next President will be. Mean
time, most of us have our minds made up as to whom we
will vote for but not many of us have any surefire feeling
that our man will make the White House. We will just
have to wait for the winner and hope for improvement
regardless of which candidates makes the grade.

Did you ever get sick right in

pretty girls parade around for
Ihe choosing of the queen and that
ilone is enough to make you stay

But from all the pictures of the
lew queen that have been made,
obviously the judges did not need
any spectacles. She is truly a
beauty but then when all of them
are, I guess it still makes the se
lection a little difficult.
This year's queen hails from
the State of South Carolina and
marks the first time that a queen
has been chosen who lived in the
Palmetto State. So perhaps it was
a fine choice in addition to her
being truly the beauty pick. The
Festival is a two state affair and
is known as the ''Carolinas" Yam
Festival Thus it's good to have
the beauties entering the event
from both the Carolinas and good

Death Claims
Buck Creek Farmer
William Henry Price, 72, retired
farmer of the Buck Creek section
of Horry County died Thursday
afternoon at his home after an ill
ness of 10 years. He was born in
Marion County, S. C., son of the
late George Melton and Mary E.
Moody Price.
Funeral services were held Sat
urday afternoon at 2:00 at the
Camp Swamp Methodist church,
Loris, S. C., route 2 with the Rev.
Smoak, pastor, officiating. Burial
was in the church cemetery. He
was a member of the Camp
Swamp church for 26 years.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Lula Lewis Price, route 2, Loris;
two sons, Henry M. Price of New
York, Ν. Y., and Berkley Price of
Neward, N. J.; one daughter, Mrs.
Joseph Patrick of Charleston, S.
C.; two sisters, Mrs. R. E. Rogers,
and Mrs. E. P. Roogers both of
Mullins, S. C.
OOPS! WRONG LINE!
Amy was one of the most popu
lar girls in town, and when she
was married, the church was
crowded. After the ceremony,
everyone rushed to kiss the bride.
After about half an hour the
breathless girl looked puzzled, and
looking down at one little man, she
said, "I don't know you. Why are
you kissing me?
The little man scratched his
head. "I dunno, lady. When I
joined this line outside, I under
stood it was for hamburger."
that a Palmetto lady received this
year's honors.
It was also noteworthy that we
had so many fine looking local
girls from the surrounding coun
tryside. We local people have long
known that our little lades were
as pretty as they are anywhere,
but this was the first time we
had so many of them right up
there in the contest and showing
the outsiders that we could capa
bly compete with them any time.
And as usual, Ben McDonald
did a good job as master of cere
monies. Ben's natural wit and gift
I of gab makes him an asset to any
function such as a queen's corona
tion. It was his second year as
toastmaster and on both occasions
he seemed to enjoy it.
The Coy Tucker band seemed to
have a mixed reception. We have
talked to those who thought it
was fine and those who thought
it was lousy. Thus it is like every
thing else, a matter of opinion
'and personal taste.
