The information that the His torical Association has bought the land upon which to build the out door theatre, in which will be p presented Kermit Hunter’s out door drama, written to preserve the history and traditions of the Blue Ridge Mountains is news of vital importance in this area. It now seems as certain as any thing can be in this more or less uncertain society, that the drama will be produced right on sched ule this summer, and that the event will mark another impor tant milepost in the progress of this area, which here-to-fore lias had relatively few things to draw visitors, other than the blessings which God brought in the blue tinted hills, and the pleasant sum mer temperatures. * * « LOAFING BENCH (Chapel Hill Weekly) The loafing bench in Eubanks' drugstore, under the clock beside the..front,!■/.’!?dow,. jxrs.. removed, [last Friday fur the first time jsince it was installed in 1913. At [ last, after almost 40 years of con tinuous service, it became peril ous to heavyweight sitters and had to be repaired. Now it is back on duty again, not only strengthened but with a coat of new paint. This bench is in great demand j by members of Chapel Hill's lei Isure class—-Moody Durham, W. P. Jordan, Bruce Strowd, Brodie Thompson, and others—for sever al reasons, among which are: (1) the hospitality of the drugstore personnel, (2) the warmth and cosiness in winter and the cool ness in the summer, (3) the per fect view of Franklin street side walk, along which passes every day a considerable proportion of Chapel Hill's population, and (4) the high standing of Eubanks' as a center of gossip where you’ll ACHESON TESTIFIES ON RANSOM PRIOR TO TESTIFYING before the Senate Armed Service* Committee, Secretary of State Dean Acheson (right) talks to Sen.

BRAND (Lauringburg Exchange) | The reckless driver and the incurably bad actor on the high -1 ways should have his front and | rear windows branded with red' i stamps. And the safe drivers, or | those with a good performance ! record, would have green stamps. If the idea catches on suffi ciently it may sometime be in acted into law. And why not? Why not brand the driver who re peatedly violates the traffic laws, or drives in a reckless manner? BELL FOR BETHANIA (Greensboro News) Frank T. Miller of Greensboro started something back in 1946 w'hen he asked the Southern Rail w'av for a bronze bell from one of its discarded steam locomotives. The civil engineer wanted to re place the ancient chimer destroy Gives Atomic Data Gordon Doan ATOMIC CNEROY Chairman Gor don Dean haa disclosed in Wash ington that the U. S. and Canada hava exchanged secret atomic in formation. Informed sources said that the U. S. gave data on “low level” non-weapon secrets in re turn for information which the United States valued very highly. ed four years before when hi home chu h, Bethania Moraviai m Forsyth eX...'ty, burned. He got his bell. Since then the railway cor. j-in; has presented 350 other church, with bells from retired coal burn ers being supplanted by diesels. Sitting in his home at 204 Eas Hendrix Street, Miller tells how a simple note to Ernest E. Norris his friend and the Southern’ president, resulted in a deluge ol requests to the railroad company and how today the bronze tones of locomotive bells ring at a Ro man Catholic Chapel in Colorado, an African mission station, and hundreds of Protestant churches in this section. “Norris wrote me back saying the bell would be sent. An an nouncer from a radio network n Washington dropped in his office and saw the letters. He asked Norris to let him read them over his program,” Miller reminisces. That did it. The letters poured in. As quickly as another steam engine was taken out of service, its bell would be sent to one of the churches on the waiting list "A Bell for Bethania,” a page size advertisement telling how Miller’s request was answered, ippeaied in many national maga zine.;. The story was published n hundreds of papers.
