One driver volunteered the information that he had never seen so many people here ill the summer, and that when he saw them on the streets, he won dered where they slept at night. Another driver, confided that he hated to mention it. but the season was certainly a big disappointment after all the talk this Spring about the biggest season ever expected.

WATSON fille Hi. 1 'hone 179-J A member of the younger genera tion jumped on us about an editor ial which appeared in a recent copy of the paper regarding entertain ment in the community, stating that about the only items listed for the young were swimming and the Youth Club. Soon after we went down the long steps to the skating rink to look things over. Now. son. right there you can find plenty of fun and recreation, to say nothing of an abundance of exercise. Of course we may be thinking in terms of our own ability to skate when we mention the exercise, you may have that smooth technique in skating that takes but little motion, while ours is an off balance style lat least it used to be. we doubt if we could stand on skates now). At any rate, if you have ever skated, even so little you will find the same old fascination about the sport. We saw all ages (of the young) from small fry to the twenties. Some full of the confidence of a skill, others skating with a conscious timidity, going around the ring, with that look of surprise at their own prowess. We know the feel ing, as we never got beyond that stage .... Is there anything more pleasingly rhymical than swing of an expert in skating? .Josephine Cook, formerly of Hay wood, now of Portsmouth, who is spending a couple of weeks here was telling us about her trials and tribulations in trying to find a city. After eight weeks she and place to live in her current home Newton finally found a small house which an army wife was about to vacate.

The town secured pari ol the Morris Cockerham properly near the tan nery, which is expected to meet their need lor five months Mayor Clyde Fisher also an nounces that a new 1 1 ton dump truck has been purchased for trash removal.

The most interesting por tion of his testimony concerned Raleigh's other newspaper, the lialeigh Times, owned by John Park. He said that he had been approached to buy the Times on three or four occasions and had declined to purchase that papei because he did not think it was proper for the morning newspaper also to own and operate the eve ning newspaper in the same city Fletcher is contesting the News and Observer's right to radio b pointing out that Daniels' paper al ready saturates the territory from Haleigh east and a radio slat ion on top of this would be jusl tor much saturation for one family.
