Alice-Leone Moats, former foreign correspond ent now living in Washington, who has written a biography of Magda Lupescu. mistress of the late King Carol of Rumania, says Lupescu's life is a "striking example of just how much stranger truth can be than fiction." Miss Moats, who knew the exiled King and Lupescu for more than 20 years, says that of the hun dreds of stories that have been told and written about Lupescu very few are accurate. "And." she adds, "oddly enough the inven tions have seldom been as sensa-: tional as the facts." Lupescu, who Anally married Carol and is now living in Portugal, had discussed publishing her own memoirs with Miss Moats doing the ghost-writing. However, when the temperamental Lupescu refused to detail certain facets of her life, especially those concerned with politics, Miss Moats decided to set forth on her own and write a fac tual biography." Though much of her material was obtained Arst hand, the book is "in no sense authorized," according to the pub lishers of "Lupescu". "My curiosity had been aroused." explains Miss Moats, "when I Arst got to know Lupescu and King Carol down in Mexico when they were exiled there. Gradually the story took hold of me?this was 1 the only woman to whom Carol 1 stayed loyal all his life. He had ' turned on his mother (the late 1 Queen Marie who visited this coun- 1 try in the 20's) and sisters, aban- 1 doned ills wife, Princess Helen, and N the son and wife of an earlier mar- > riage annulled by order of his c father." s * * * 1 Mrs. Henri Bonnet, wife of the % JUSTIN Tl'BB will appear on a count.y music program which also features the Louvin Brothers at Haaelwood School Tuesday night under sponsorship of the Woodmen of the World.

Pick acces Safe Driving For Firemen Is Stressed The sale operation of Are trucks and private vehicles of volunteers going to and from fires was stress*? ed Thursday night by Patrolman W. R. Woolen of the State High way Patrol, who spoke at a meet ing of the Clyde Fire Department. Despite the need for haste in an swering fire alarms, firemen still should observe the motor vehicle safety laws and drive safely, re gardless of emergency, Patrolman Wooten asserted. As ai. official, a fireman has the same responsibility as other citi zens and even more, the patrolman pointed out. Fire chiefs and truck drivers have a double responsibility, not only saving people and property from fires, but also protecting the lives of the firemen and the ex pensive equipment owned by the town, Wooten commented. The patrolman advised that the fire truck go first and volunteers in their own cars follow behind in stead of attempting to get ahead of the truck.
