NEW VOHIT?
By North Callahan
Cinderella came to town an<
even when the mythical midnigh
hour ctruck, she was still a re
splendent beauty. Which is om
way of saying that Sharon K. Hit
chie, otherwise known now as "Misi
America" came on to New York af
ter the Atlantic City doings were
over. A few of us saw her at the
Waldorf in a special interview, and
it was a colorful experience. She
had just come from three' solid
hours of television appearances,
but her youth and bright spirit kept
her still unruffled. Hailing from
Grand Island. (Nebraska. the
auburn-haired beauty is an "A"
student in college, does not smoke
or drink and dislikes "cheese cake"
bathlng-6Uit pictures. She said she
was thankful to God and htr par
ent* for what she had gained.
A frightful thing came In the
mail. It was from Alfred Friendly,
managing editor of the Washing
ton P?dt, and was about as friend
ly as a rattle snake. It was a story
by him of what happened to this
earth in 45.000 A.D. Apparently,
this imaginary hut all-too-realistic
account says, man committed mass
suicMe in that year with atomic
weapons. The whole world went to
war, 240 nuclear weapons explod-*
ed, and within a few days, two
billion humans had perished. The
earth was left barren and lifeless,
where once it had been a thing of
beauty and its Inhabitants should
have known better.

Speaking of war, Lloyd Howard
1 handed me a sprightly parody on
t the surrender of General Lee to
- Grant in the late American con
; flict. "After chasing the Union
? Army all over the map," this Civil
i. War Round Table piece goes, "even
as far as Gettysburg way up in
Pennsylvania, the Confederates and
? General Lee were very tired. The
i j Confederate Army, camping out at
Appommatox in Virginia, wa$ pre
paring to wipe out the Yankees the
1 next morning, march victoriously
into Washington and raise the Stars
and Bars over the White House.
General Lee was resting at the
courthouse before mapping out the
strategy for this final campaign.
Into the courthouse walked Gen
eral Grant ready to surrender.
Grant was such an inconscpicuous
looking man that Lee took him to
be his orderly. Naturally, Lee gave
Grant his sword to polish. Grant,
very surprised, took Lee's sword
and actually thought Lee had sur
rendered. He even thanked Lee for
surrendering, and General Lee, be
ing a true Southern gentleman,
couldn't go back on his word."

Walter McLane, Tampa, Florida
Insurance executive, was a visit
or here, and although He hoped to
see the office of New York's may
' or,' Walter never expected to per
I form any of the mayor's duties.
The out-of-towner was being shown
the ,city hall and started talking
with an assistant who proved to be
as genial as the Florida visitor
himself is. Said the assistant,
' Would you like to see the mayor's
office? He has just left for the
day." Of course Walter would so
like, he told me. and when he had
entered the nice sanctum, he was
even permitted to sit in the chair
of this official who is said to have
the second most important admin
istrative position in the United
States.

mals vaccinated against rabies
each year.
Although no cases of rabies have
been reported so far this year, an
outbreak of rabies could come at
any time, the dog warden warn
ed, urging all county residents to
watch dogs for signs of unusual
behavior. If rabies is suspected,
the Health Department shuold be
notified, he added.
Dogs believed to be rabid are
destroyed and their heads sent for
rabies analysis to the state labor
atory in Raleigh, whi;h reports
immediately to the Health Depart
ment, Mr. Chambers explained.
Since habies is 100 per cent
fatal to human beings if contract
id, persons bitten by rabid dogs
should start taking shots immedi
ately from their family doctor, he
advised.
Last March one case of human
rabies was reported on the Chero
kee Indian reservation, while an
American G.I. upon seeing a book
displayed here about the heroism
and popularity in World War II of
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. remarked
that he was with him a lot, and was
not aware he was heroic or even
popular . . . sounds odd but 'tis
said that when approaching a the
ater ticket office here, if you smile
or laugh, you may get better seats,
since mirthful folks near the stage
makes a show go and seem better.
Of course the surest way to get
Broadway tickets is to write for
them months ahead.

ville. The basement of the build
ing lends itself to the storage of
fire trucks and other street fight
ing equipment. The fact that the
property front* on four streets,
none of which are commercial
streets, makes for less congestion
for fire fighting equipment and
facilitates equipment getting off
in any of four directions from this
point.
"There is ample room for stor
ing all the garbage, street repair,
and maintenance trucks; also plen
ty of room for the electrical equip
ment used by this department of
the City. All of these can- be
housed in the basement, which as
you know, can be easily reached
by drives from three streets.
"There are spacious and well
lighted rooms on the upper floors
of the building which are ideal
for housing the Police Department,
the Mayor's Office, the City Man
ager's Office, the Bookkeeping De
partment, and a meeting room for
Aldermen or other City Officials.
One or more of these class rooms
could be used from time to time
for Conference Rooms by Civic
groups or Religious Groups, whom
are in need of meeting rooms.
"The Auditorium of the build
ing can be used for holding City
Court and could be used by
Convention Groups. There is a
crying need for such an auditor
ium, as groups of this type do not
like to use school houses or court
rooms.
"The present Town Hall is not
adequate, is overcrowded and con
gested, and best served its purpose
as a livery stable run by Pink
Turbyfill fifty years ago.
"The school property is the only
remaining centrally located prop
erty fronting on four streets with
plenty of parking room and plenty
ot room for expansion. The pres
ent Town Hall has greater value
as business property.
"The proceeds of the school
property can be used for build
ing a warehouse, which is the pur
pose to which the property is now
being used.
"I have written this letter strict
ly on my own volition, not being
prompted by any Civic or Relig

The long, low lines and beautiful new
styling of the '58 Ford makes it a dead

And in power, too, Ford is mighty like
the Thunderbird.
Ford's new Thunderbird Y-8 engine,
successor to the V-8, is 202-h.p.* strong.
Basically, it is the same as the engine
that won nationwide fame for alert per
