Woman To Open Doll House
Dolls keep the world young.
Young and old alike find dolls
endearing.
These inanimate objects thrill
both men and women of all ages.
And Mrs. Charles Flowers is one
who knows dolls from one end to
the other, inside and out, from the
molding of the bodies to the dress
ing with frilly clothes.
Mrs. Flowers is opening a doll
house here soon.
“How did I get interested^ in
dolls. Well, I don’t think anyone
ever loses interest in dolls. From
childhood on up, there’s some
thing about dolls that is com
pletely fascinating,” she said.
But Mrs. Flowers said her real
interest began because of a dear
little doll she had during her child
hood. She needed some repairs
made to this doll with so much
sentiment attached.
“And there was no one to repair
it,” Mrs. Flowers said. “So I be
gan to fiddle around with slight
repair work on the doll. Then I
branched off on to other dolls
which were broken.”
She found, however, that she
knew almost nothing about the
real basic and fundamentals of
i doll repairing. Then she found
I this advertisement of a course in
'the repairing of dolls.
“I took this course,” she said.
“It was hard, but thoroughly fas
cinating. I loved every minute I
was learning about how to repair
dolls.”
The course now finished, Mrs.
Flowers decided to open her a
house here. She has a new 25 by
25 foot building on North Street
near her home. This building is

Republican Candidate
Makes Tour Of Town
Robert L. Gavin, of Sanford, Re
publican nominee for Governor
of North Carolina, carried his
campaign for the State’s top office
to Zebulon and Wake County
Friday.
The tall, good-looking nominee
and his caravan were in Zebulon
during mid-afternoon Friday.
There was very little response to
his appearance here.
He was met by Mayor Ed Hales
at the Town Hall where he was
supposed to make a short talk. But
nobody was there to listen, ex
cept the mayor, a reporter, and the
nominee’s entourage.
He visited up and down the
streets but could not stir up any
enthusiasm from the local citi
zenry.
Gavin -said he is picking up
more strength in the Eastern part
of the State. He said his strength
is strong west from Durham
County.
During his tour of Wake Coun
ty, he said he found support
very favorable. People turned out
for his visits to the various Wake
County towns, particularly Fu
quay-Springs, it was reported.
“I have found a lot of support
and enthusiasm,” Gavin claimed
of his tour of Wake County.
Asked about his platform, Gavin
said: “I think my ways of think
ing are conservative.”
Gavin, 44-year-old Sanford
lawyer, is a native of Sampson
County and a graduate of the Uni
versity of North Carolina. He is
a' son of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin L.
Gavin of Sanford. His father
served in the State Senate, as U.
S. District Attorney for the Mid
dle Judicial District, and was G.
O. P. candidate for the U. S. Sen
ate in 1950. The younger Gavin
has served as assistant U. S. Dis
trict Attorney of the Middle Ju
dicial District.
He is married to the former
Grace McNeill Blue of Carthage,
and is the father of three children:
Edwin, 10; Grace Blue, 7; and
John, 6. Mrs. Gavin, a very
charming and pretty woman, was
with her husband Friday. She at
one time was a member of Wake
Ion School faculty.
As far as could be learned,
there are no Gavin leaders here.
