Sjjis the variety of the progran
fewhich they will play. American
gborn, the two pianists receivoc
^their early instruction in' this
Ifcountry and finished with stud\
jyiin Europe before making their de
2>ut in this county. Since that
Btime they have made annual
jjcoast-to-coast tours, appeared re
Sgularly as stars of the Fred War
5ng radio and television show
flayed in some of New York's
Sbest night clubs, and have recent
ly won a host of new admirers
through their new Columbia
/Masterworks Records album.
^•'Night Life on Two Pianos."
■ Livingston Gearhart, who is a
^composer in his own right, has
%nade numerous additions to two
*»iano literature through his trans
criptions of works ranging from
the classics through the romantic
Co contemporary works. Three
Cioted composers of today, Darius
^Milhaud. David Diamond and
^Norman Dello Joio, have written
%nusic for the duo-pianists. Both
rMorley and Gearhart believe that
^all good music is worth playing,
^whatever the period, so their pro
grams usually include examples
?of every style from Bach through
^concert arrangements of jn/v and
rboogie. Versatility keynotes each
^concert. A traditionally pure in
terpretation of a classic may be
*gin a program which leads
through a variety of works to an
exciting arrangement of Stravin
sky. Some of Gearhart's most
popular transcriptions are the
! lilting “Rosenkavalier" Waltzes
by Strauss and the stirring Siege
of Kazan scene from "Boris Gu
; -dunoff" by Moussorgsky.
t The change in time was made
1 to avoid conflict with the Baptist
■, revival.

Helicopter Mail
Delivery Started
Tlie delivery of mail by heli
copter in New York was started
recently, when a helicopter lifted
itself off the runway at La
Guardia airport and headed for
New Jersey. The route takes the
helicopter from the airport to
Newark, New Jersey, to the New
York International Airport and
back to La Guardia
The “skybus”, as the helicopter
is called, carries about 0.000 let
ters and cuts the time required for
delivery between the points con
siderably
New York is not the first city
to employ helicopter service. Hel
icopters were put into use some
years ago in London and have
been used elsewhere They have
been landed, in some places, atop
postoffice buildings with flat
roofs, though the New York heli
copter run itilizes airports only as
stopping points.
With the advent of faster heli
copters, which could hop between
cities on very rapid schedules, the
use of these aircraft to transport
mail will become more wide
spread. Especially in the lesser
populated areas, where towns are
50 to 75 miles apart, there is often
no adequate mail service between
them and heileopters may be the
answer Because they would re
quire no luxurious airport, which
many small towns cannot afford,
the helicopter has a considerable
advantage over other types of air j
craft. 1
The disadvantage so far has
been that helicopters did not have
sufficient speed. This handicap is
now being overcome and the day
when helicopters “carry the mail”
may not be far away.
Local Jaycees
| Are Waking Up
Last week's harvest festival net
I only brought renewed unity to
'he people of Martin County, but
a l-o or ought -cot w much needed |
Icoopeiative spirit that was exem- !
j plified by the Local Jaycees j
'"/hen 'they turned out jn mass to I
i I
I help make the event the most
! successful ever.
Determined to add color and
; beauty to the big harvest festival
I parade, more than a score of Ja.v
cees met in the Planters' Ware
! house in the cold Monday and
Tuesday nights and worked late
together planning and construct
ing a beautiful float to act as
throne for Miss Barbara Anne
Han is, Mis3 North Carolina of
1952, and the silver and blue
float attracted much attention
a-'’ many favorable comments
from the thousands that watch
ed the parade.
All day on Wednesday a large
group of Jaycees, under the di
rection of Blue Manning, Presi
dent, also acting as parade-master
for the parade, worked diligently
in helping the officals of the
harvest festival line up 1he vari
ous units of the parade, directing
traffic, and acting as information
stations for the visiting partici
pants.
This type of spirit amplified
many times by the organizations 1
participating makes the harvest]1
festival in Williamston second to 1
none in Eastern North Carolina 1
each year.

Thousand Attends
Thursday Meeting
At Robersonville
(Continued from Page One)
IviitnU'u Vo the western edge of
Pin County, Congressman Bon
ner explained that h • had sent
out as many personal invitations
as possible. “And I paid for the
stamps out of my own pocket,”
he declared, Jumping- &n ane Rich.,
ard Nixon with both feet and
sizing up the little fellow from
California for what he's worth.
“I was^hocked when Taft said
it wgs all right for Nixon to ac
cept money from the rich friends.
When Nixon was elected he knew
what the salary would be, and it
is possible to live on it,” Bon
ier said, declaring that Nixon’s
iction in accepting that $18,200
s causing government to decay.
I was shocked to learn that
Nixon tocjk money under such
conditions, and I wras even more
shocked when he admitted he
look it,” Bonner said.
Delivering the main uddress
luring the meeting that lasted
nore than two hours, Bill Urn
dead, nominee for governor, paid
ributp to First District party
eaders and after a little back
dapping went on to plead for a
arge vote in this section. He
vent on to review briefly the
■ecord of the Democratic Party
n North Carolina. “You can see
he effect of Democratic govern
ment in the schools, roads, hos
litals, churches, land terraces,
ivestock, pastures and so on, in
ducing a thriving people. We've
ome a long way and right now
ve have the opportunity for
narked advancement, because the
democrats have built solidly and
anely ,and those who have gone
m ahead expect us to carry out
he covenant with them”, Mr.
Jmstead said,
idd u U--khU,
Switching over to the national
cone, Mr. Uinstead said that the
lepublicans are showing no
lictures of Harding corruption,
eferring to Teapot Dom'e, or
’oolidge do-nothing policies, and
loo vers cart. “In fact, the Re
lublicans cannot refer with pride
o any one part of their record,
rhey want it all forgotten; they
vant to impress the young peo-1
pig with promises and nope
10 one cheeks the record.”
The State’s next governor said
le had respect for General'Eis
■nhower, and that the man was
■ntitled to gratitude for accom
plishments as a military man,
‘but he has done nothing outside
he military. He has had no ex-;
lerienee in business or govern
nent, and cannot be qualified
or one of the greatest of all of
ices," Umstead maintained.
At Denver, according to the
pcaker, Eisenhower started a
treat crusade, but it soon blew
ip, and Eisenhower, deciding the
tepublicans were out and wanted
o get in, started a crusade to get
nto power. "He threw his arms
round Jenner. He announced
upport for McCarthy, and after
hat great tear show put on by
Jixon, Eisenhower said, 'That's
ny boy’.”
Then the Taft ultimatum w*as
clivcred to Eisenhower who ac
epted it without question, "and
hat marked the end of that great
rusade,” Umstead cried. He ex
plained the danger it the Republi
ans should win next Tuesday,
pointing out that Nixon stood one
lut of five chances of becoming
’resident.
Mr. Umstead paid a fine tribute
o Stevenson, referring to him as
i n. m wht^has studied govern
nent am^vlupnas made a great
ecord. "He has a great mind and
le abides by accepted principles
nd stands unafraid of pressure
;roups,” Umstead said, adding
hat Stevenson is making a wur
hy campaign. Umstead declared
hat the candidate would go down
n history as a great President.
Jmstead commended John J
Sparkman, vice presidential nom
nec, to all those who believe in
lonest government.
Touching on corruption, Mr.
Jmstead pointed out that no par
y has a monopoly on it, that, un
ortunately, it always exists.
'Public office is a public trust and
hose who would violate it should
pc punished,” the speaker said ex
plaining that the Democrats are
vorking to clear out corruption,
ind added that what we have not
s no more than a mole hill com
pared to a mountain. After re
■a I ling th»' Republican Teapot
3onje scandal, Mr, Umstead said
hat lie was tired of the charge
hat the Democratic Party is cor
upt. "Why, under Harding, it
was suggested that the Capitol
iome be tied down since it had
orass in it," he said and proceed
'd to sing that popular song in
vogue about that time, "We ain’t
goin’ to steal no more, no more,”
with the Democratic question,
"How in the hell can anybody tell
you ain’t gum' to steal no more,

no more.”
‘‘I tell you in ail fairness that
what's happened in Washington
does not justify the broadside at
tack from the Republicans,” he
added.
The speaker pointed out that it
is apparent that the First District
realizes and appreciates what the
Democratic Party has done, and
he went on to predict that if the
Republicans go in next January
it will seriously endanger the
farm program that has meant so
much to this 'district and ail of
North Carolina.
He urged the group to get out
and tell the rewords of both the
Democrats and the Republicans,
and work for a large Democratic
vote, warning that if Eisenhower
is elected he will be under the
thumb of the Republicans. Mr.
Umstead said he does not ques
tion the Democrat who votes for
Eisenhower, "but 1 do question his
judgment.”
