Marion T. Bridges announc ed the numbers, one of which was a special address ol welcome in song. W. Curtis Russ acted as master of ceremonies, and briefly pre sented the host and hostess of the occasion, together with town and county officials. The program began with a group presentation of 23 local people, who were supposed to represent 2.'! civic clubs, and each slated for a two minute talk. Just before the first speaker was called upon, Mr. Russ read a telegram from a mem ber in Eastern Carolina who was unable to get here, and as he fin ished reading the message which said, "if things get much worse, we should turn the country back over to the Indians,'' there rushed from several doors, a group of Chcrokees in war dress making all the noise of the Red Men on a war path, and they proceeded to the platform, where the program was given over to them for the remainder of the evening. The group of ten Cherokees gave exhibitions of archery, blowgun shooting, as well as native dances and songs. During the course of the evening several pranks were played on some of the visitors, including one which the newly elected president posed as William Tell's son to have an apple shot off his head by one ol the Indians. In a riot of fun. the apple was pushed off the man's head as a gun was fired. He returned to his seat unharmed, but rather pale from the experi ence. One ol the highlights of the eve ning for entertainment, was when a Cherokee mother strolled into the Armory with a papoose on lier back. The menu served included young baby beef, barbecue sauce, onions with lemon sauce, sugar baked ap ples, cole slaw. French rolls, coun try butter, corn bread, milk coffee and pumpkin pie. The committees of the Cham ber of Commerce handled all de tails of arrangements, decorations, and preparation of the banquet tables. After Hie program, the news paper group returned to Asheville for the night. Today they will visit the Hiltmore House and then go to Ecusta for luncheon and a tour of the plant. They will return to Asheville via Hendersonville, and tonight will have a banquet as the guest of Asheville for the final program before returning home. The Soco Gap square dance team and string band will give a special exhibition tonight at the Asheville auditorium for the visitors. The croup will be led by Sam Queen and Richard Queen. The visitors have covered a large part of Norlh Carolina, start ing in at Raleigh Sunday, then down to the coast, over to Wilson, through the Piedmont area, visit ing a cigarette plant and blanket plant before heading into Western North Carolina for two days and three nights. that North Carolina is in excellent financial condition is no excuse for a spending spree by state leaders. He warns that the state rinnnl of. i ford to over-reach the ability of the people to pay, that the tax bur den has reached a ceiling and taxes should now be reduced. It will take years to reach the ultimate goals of good public schools, good health end abundant living and the Durham candidate warns that un less the state has leaders who seek these high objectives gradually there will be reckless and wasteful spending which will defeat the pur pose of developing the state's hu man resources.
