? Interest in the mat
Houldn't understand
why all these strange young men
should be coming up to his cot
tage, trying to make dates with his
daughter and her guest. But he
determined to find out about it, if
he could.
Leaving the cottage by the back
door, he went out to the boardwalk
to see what he could see.
One of the first things he ob
served was a small boy. eleven or
twelve years old, sitting on the
curbing in front of the cottage
next door. The youngster was
watching passersby closely. He let
several of them go by without any
interference. Then he saw two
boys coming along together. Im
mediately he rose to his feet and,
as they were about to pass him,
stopped them. Mr. Davis overheard
the following conversation.
"Say, do you fellows want a date
with two cute girls?"
"Sure; where are they?" '
"They live close by. They ain't
got a date tonignt and told me if
I saw two nice boys to stop them."
"Yeah; we want a date."
"It'll cost you a nickel for me
to tell you their names."
"All right. Here's your nickel.
Now, where do they live and what
are their names?"
"In the cottage next door. And
their names are Peggy and Sibyl."
The two boys didn't tarry for
any more conversation. Mr. Davis
watched them as they marched up
on his front porch and knocked.
Peggy responded. an<l in a moment
he saw them swing around and
walk away in.evidemt disgust.
The youngster, in the meantime,
had disappeared. In a minute or so.
however, when the two would-be
suitors were safely out of sight, he
took up his position on the curb
ing again.
Mr. Davis decided it was time
to break up such, proceedings. He
sat alongside of the lad and ex
plained to him that his help was
needed in protecting the women,
and girl residents of the cottages.
"You and I." he told him, "are the
onlv men here right now, and we
ought to work together. These
stranee boys might cause us
trouble."
The youngster thought that over
for a moment. Then he said:
"Maybe you're right, Mr. Davis,
and I won't do it any more. Just
the same. I kinder hat to quit be
cause there sure is good money in
it."
No more strange men were way
laid. Sibyl and Peggy's dates ar
rived in due course and they all
went up to Lumina.
I don't know the youngster's
name but I'm betting on him to
make good in life from a financial
noint of view Anv eleven-year-old
bov who could think up such a
scheme all by himself will bear
watching when he grows uo. He
oueht to be able to promote prac
tically anything he puts his hands
on.

RESCUED AFTER CAVE-IN Bl'RIES HIM?A.
W. Reid (facing camera), veteran mica miner,
still buried almost to his waist, waits patiently
as fellow miners dig him out after he was com- s
pletely buried in a cave-in of a strip mica mine
at Franklin. A fellow worker died in the same
mine in a cave-in the day before. Reid owes his
life to another miner, Robert Williams, who.
though dazed and bruised in the cave-in. clawed
?. dirt from around Reid's head so he could brrathe.
Rescuers worked for 2'-_> hours, under threat of
another slide, to dig Reid out. (AH Wirephoto).

I had the pleasure of being with
Billy Graham, our rioted North
Carolina preacher, on several oc
casions last week while he was in
Washington. He is leaving shortly
for a preaching mission in England
and other European spots. I drove
back from a speaking engagement
in Oxford to be here for his ser
vice at the Armorv last Sunday af
ternoon. It was also attended by
Senator Hoey and a number of
Members of the House from North
Carolina.
THE PRAYER BREAKFAST
On Thursday morning. I attend
ed the Second Annual Prayer
Breakfast at the Mayflower hotel.
It is a great experience to see a
bout 600 leaders of our Country,
including the President, standing
with bowed heads in silent prayer
for our nation. Senator Carlson is
verv active in this movement.
BILLY GRAHAM LUNCHEON
I thought it would be a good
idea to have Billy. Graham as my
guest and give a private luncheon
in the CaDitol in his honor. We
were able to get all but two Mem
bers of our House delegation. A
number of Senators, including
Senators Kefauver. Stennis, F.ll
ender, Maybank. Johnston, Mc
Clellan. Mansfield, Johnson of
Texas, Daniel and other guests at

tended. 1 know we were all im
pressed with the excellent spirit
ual message that Billy gave to us.
After the luncheon. I took him to
meet the Vice-President.

pears that nothing will be settled
on this until next week as most of

cussed with you last week.
MEETING
I attended the Congressional
banquet on Wednesday night held I
here as a guest of the North Caro- t
una icaimis vv iki were aucnuuiK
their annual national association
meetings. I met about thirty rep
resentatives from all over North
Carolina. Their meetings were
very successful . . On Thursday
night, 1 met with the North Caro
lina State College alumni group
here for supper and had the pleas
ure of being with another fine
group of North Carolinians.
MOORE'S CREEK
A number of us have strongly
urged the National Park Service
of the Interior Department to con
tinue to keep Moore's Creek Na
tional Military Park in North Caro
lina in the system. In our history,
we fail to give the Battle of
Moore's Creek Bridge the signifi
cant position to which it is en
titled. Had it not been for the
bravery of the patriots of that sec
ion, bad they not stopped the Tor
ies, the whole Cape Fear section
would have fallen to the Tories
and there is no way of knowing
what might have happened to the
Colonies in the Revolution that
was to follow. The Park Service
has promised u? to hold a hearing
on the matter. They are trying to
determine if it is of truly national
significance. 1 know it is.
THIS-AND-THAT
I am looking forward to the
coming of spring and the North
Carolina school children who an
nually visit Washington . . They
always get a big thrill out of these
visits . . . Senator Holland is look
ing forward to his visit to Raleigh
on Saturday for the Jefferson
Jackson Day Dinner . . . Dr. Hugh
11. Bennett, the Anson County man
who is credited with building the
Soil Conservation Service and who
is now retired, dropped by the of
fice the other day. He is planning
a trip to South 'America soon to
help with their conservation prob
lems . . Your mail is coming in at
"a brisk rate, and I can certainly
fell that you arc very much inter
ested in what's going on in Con
gress.
