Women of Bowden knew, too that one wedding cake would not be enough to serve all those plan ning to attend, so they made up a batch of individual cakes, and everybody, especially the women, were as flushed, excited and happy at the wedding as jf their own dau ghter, or son was getting married. The romance between this girl, who evidently knew day; of pros perity and social position' In her youth, and this young man, began in November, 1945, when they met at a party in Germany. Carr took her home after the party, and "then I took her home every night I could from then on," he said. . "Home" to Miss Laar was two rooms in a small town In Germany, which she shared with six others, relatives with whom she lived since tragedy struck her home. All the property belonging to her parents was a victim of bombs and shells, and the terror, shock and panic of Austria in the later years of the war caused the suicide of Mr. and Mrs. Laar, and that's when "Leo", as she is already be ing called in Bowden, moved to Germany to live with relatives. She admits now that she was al ways hungry in those days, and until she arrived in America May 20 knew more hungry days than days in which she ate. Even now she is still weak from lack of the proper kinds of food, and enough Of them, but it's a 100 to 1 bet that a few weeks among the residents of her new community will soon remedy that. Bennie admitted privately that the only thing he ever remembered stealing in his life was food, from the army, to give to Leopoldine while he was in Germany. "She couldn't work in those days, for the amount of food al lowed her did not permit it," Mr. Carr said. "You see, she was not a German, therefore she did not get as much food as the Germans, but sorta got what was left over. "On the days when I had to work I would eat two meals and carry her my third one. On days when I didn't work, she ate two of the meals and I ate one. And then, every chance I got, I'd take her other things to eat." The love which bloomed under such trying conditions was enough to carry the young couple, through two long years of waiting until conditions permitted Miss Laar to come to America. It took a lot of i rea tape, airline ui-Keia ana 9 ouu in cash. Mr. Carr had the cash at one time, but his father's long illness and subsequent death quickly ate up the young ex-soldier's savings, I and it wasn't until December of last year that he could send her the tickets and post the money with immigration authorities, necessary to assure her return in the event the planned marriage didn't ma terialize. Then, before his bride-to-be re ceived the tickets, in January this year, the law permitting prospec tive brides to enter the country ex pired, and there came another per iod of waiting, while the U .S. Con gress extended the law. But all waiting periods cotne to an end, and on Wednesday morning, May 19, Miss Laar boarded an airlirer for the new world, a new husband and a new life. She arrived in Flushing, Long Island, the- next afternoon, and spent the night there. Going over to New York City the next morning she caught another plane for Wil mington where Mr. Carr met her at the airport. No, they didn't kiss when they first met they're both too shy for that, especially in public. But Mr. Carr does aamit his heart was about to, burst when he first saw her alter two long years. Miss Laar was so tired and weak after her trip that she slept in the ear all the way from Wilmington to her new home. And then began the first phase of her new life which she believes will come to mean so much to her. She began meeting the citizens I of her adopted community, and . th'.-y opened their arms and hearts ' for her, with the result that every I day aid night preceding their wed' aing someDoay or other was enter taining the couple along with the young folks of the church. It was on such an occasion that she ate her first "hot dog" and toasted marshmallow. These two strictly American food items made a big hit with her, but she prefers her marshmallows untoasted. We asked Mrs. Carr if she was frightened by her air trip. "Yes." Was she frightened by New York? "Yes!" Was she frightened by the kindness and interest displayed by her new friends? "Oh, yes!" And it was easy to see that the great be wilderment she felt at such a sudden transformation from post war Germany to post-war America was still with her. Speaking a little English, she makes the average, American ashamed of his poor enunciation. And it's this very fault which makes it hard for her to converse with her . new friends,' for everyone knows- textbook English and East ern Carolina dialect are miles and miles apart V,.-.-y'V-,"v.;I'' - When someone ; confuses her with an expression, or question she daesnt undorstr.aJ, sie turns to' her husband with "What say? " and he usually can put it so she can understand. It's probable that this contributes as much as anything to her becoming shyness. . : l Mrs. Carr admits she would like to go back to Austria, "if Bennie I go," but that she's willing to make her life here with her farmer-husband. And, she had no disillusion ment about what life here would be like, for Mr. Carr had made it perfectly plain in his letters to her that he was not a man of wealth, but as is usually the case, love pays very little attention to money. On the other hand, she was wor ried about whether Mr. Carr still wanted her, and. most of her let ters, written in excellent English, properly constructed, and gramma tically correct, contained a desire that he tell her, before she left Germany, if he did not intend mar riage. It seemed that many of her old-country friends believed she would meet the same fate of others who had come to this country to marry, and were disappointed. Leo is rapidly becoming a genu ine member of the Carr family, where they'll live, at least until the end of this crop year! She's learning to 000k American foods, and Sunday the entire family was bragging on the biscuits she made for the noon meal. Her becoming blush at this compliment insures plenty of compliments for her in the future. Eager to learn all about house keeping, American style, Leo has plenty of tools to work with, re ceived in the generous showers which have been held for the cou ple in the community. Her teacher, Bennie's mother, has nothing but praise for the aptness of her pupil. Now that it's all over, the two long years of waiting join the rest of the unpleasant years of her life, and fade swiftly into meaningless memories with the embrace of her new husband, while the entire Bowden community looks on. with approval.

Radio Broadcast In State Governor's Second Primary Race Senator literally shows up candi date Kerr Scott in a fashion that hasn't been presented be fore; speech heard throughout state; complete text of speech. In a statewide hookup of radio stations, Duplin's Senator, R. D. Johnson, of Warsaw, Tuesday night delivered the opening gun of Char lie M. Johnson's campaign for gov ernor in the second primary,-to be held June 26th. Senator Johnson spoke for ; 15 minutes f rom the broadcasting room of station WPTF in Raleigh. The full text of his speech was as follows: I speak tonight in behalf of the candidacy of Charles M. John son for governor of North Carolina. I am not related to Charlie John son, but I am intimately acquainted w;,h his career, his ambitions and his desires for a greater North Carolina. I live in a neighboring county, and I have watched him develop over the years from a poor farm boy to one of our State's outstanding citizens. He is a fine christian gentleman, worthy of any honor we may give him. Last May 29, four hundred thous and Democrats voted for their choice for the next governor of North Carolina. In that voting, Charlie Johnson was the leading candidate. He received nearly nine thousand lucre votes than Kerr Scott. In the minds of many people, the high man in such a large num ber of votss should be declared winner. Force is added to this thought when we recall that the high man in the first primary in the race for governor has ALWAYS won out where a second primary was called. I know Charlie John son would not have called a second primary. Due to the heavy expense, worry and trouble, many had hoped that a second primary would be avoided. However Mr. Scott has decided to force a run-off and require tax payers to spend another one hun dred thousand dollars, just to see if he can overtake Mr. Johnson's lead. I know if things had been re versed, Charlie Johnson would not have forced a second primary on our people. The Democrats at their recent State Convention reminded the people that the paity "has given to the people of this State an intel ligent governme.it" for the past fifty years. Now Kerr Scott, who has been on the payroll for many years, undertakes to persuade the Demo crats of Noith Carolina that he is a Messiah come to correct all the blunders of our democratic govern ors since Governor Aycock. Per haps, he is so bitter against our state government because he is the favored son of Alamance Repub licans. When Kerr Scott announced for Governor after a hastily called ral ly at Graham the press of the state recorded the fact that the meeting was about evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans. One of the loudest voices at this gather ing was white-haired Republican Will R. Dixon who shouted for the world to hear that the Republicans were supporting Scott. Charlie Johnson is from Pender County that has never gone republican. Look what Alamance did in 1946. It went republican. Kerr Scott is a master at rever sing himself. He has changed his mind so many times that the rec ords show him on both sides of practically all important issues. He opposed the North Carolina Public Health Program and then switched when he found it politically unwise. He now poses as a friend of the. merchants and civic clubs, but they recall his vicious attacks against them during the 1947 session of the General Assembly. Kerr Scott tells us today of his undying friendship for the tobacco farmer. It was different in 1939 when North Carolina's tobacco market crumbled. The situation was desperate. It was like the mid west in drought time. The farmers of this State sought to keep the markets closed until an adequate marketing system could be worked out. A large number of farmers and their friends went to Washington, Kerr Scott went too. The reason for the predicament involving North Carolina tobacco farmers was due to over-production and the withdrawal of large British tobacco firms from the market The Federal Government was seeking to steady the market by establishing of mar keting quotas. While every effort was being made to get the tobacco farmers back on their feet "TIME" Magazine (October 9, 1939, page 58) quoted Kerr Scott on a totally different position. Apparently Scott was not being troubled too much, for here is what "Time" had to say: . . I "William Kerr Scott suggested sadistically that the markets ought to be reopened, the farmers left to squirm.' ;":.''.' '..;. 'Vi' .;: Kerr Scott wasn't running for Governor then Why doesn't he tell you what he meant? : ' Now Kerr Scott Is not a new comer to the public payroll despite his demands for new blood. He has been on the state, county or federal payroll about twenty-seven out of the last thirty yc 3, esi yet he Jfcns the nerve to talk about Charlie Johnson's being on the public pay roll. While Commissioner of Agricul ture, he traveled one hundred and fifty thousand miles between bis state office in Raleigh and his big dairy farm in Alamance County, Of course, during the war gasoline was rationed, but Kerr Scott man aged to keep going even though many people at the time couldn't wangle enough gas to attend a fu neral. It was only natural that this dual duty - drawing public funds on one hand and operating his vast dairy on the other, required him to arrive late frequently for work in the mornings and depart early In the afternoons. He never moved to Raleigh. Would he move to Ral eigh if he were elected governor? Scott has stated frequently that he knew what it was to meet a private payroll. He shouldn't have had much trouble, drawing good public funds while at the same time deriving revenue from that one thousand three hundred acre dairy farm of his in Alamance County. I know a lot of farmers who wouldn't have had any trouble with payrolls if they had been drawing salaries from the public and operating a large dairy farm at the same time. Charlie Johnson has served the State duiing the administration of six governors and as Treasurer dur ing the terms of five governors. He has handled many millions of dol lars of the State funds carefully and honestly. There has never been a finger of suspicion pointed at the conduct of the affairs of his office until Kerr Scott started running for governor. Charlie's is a great record. His books are audited every year and he has never lost a cent. But within the past few weeks Mr. Scott has tried to direct a question mark at the failures of Charlie to speculate with the State's money. Of course, Mr. Scott could have told you that the Treas urer of North Carolina or any county or city does not have the authority to invest any funds ex cept by specific authority of the General Assembly, and the Gener al Fund Investments in this' State can only be made by authority of the Governor and Council of State, of which Mr. Scott has been a member; and every dollar of the money authorized to be invested has been invested. Mr. Scott would leave you to believe that no in vestments have been made, and right at that moment there was one hundred fifty million, seven hundred fifty thousand dollars of the State's funds invested, and, as a member of the Council of State, he knew about the General Fund Investments. He has much to say about the State's money being in banks. Of course it's in banks, se cured 100. Where do people usu ally keep money? Would he have Charlie keep it in a vault with a couple of armed guards and pay all the State's bills in cash? Speak ing of savestments why didn't Mr. Scott invest the funds of the Agri culture Department during all the years he has been Commissioner until 1945?

Beam was present and spoke to the club. is he didn't have the authority un til then and would have been viol ating the law; but he is complain ing because Charlie Johnson did I not violate the law and speculate with State funds. And, moreover, during the past campaign it was sometimes said that Mr. Scott is a farmer. What a discovery! I have never heard that Mr Scott raises cotton or tobacco, although I have heard that he owns nearly two thousand acres of land. I have understood that he is a dairyman, and that he has several hundred head of cattle in his dairy herd. It has been said that with his big dairy business, coupled with his authority and power as Com missioner of Agriculture, ne nas put nearly all the small dairies out of business, and that people down in my section are now Urinking milk which Mr. Scott allowed to be shipped in from the far away State of Wisconsin and maybe from other distant cities. If this is wrong, I know Mr. Scott will tell you. I hope he will explain the dairy busi ness. Sometimes you near the word dirt-farmer as well as the word milk-farmer. Charlie Johnson was raised on a farm and followed a 1 plow. He was what is known as a dirt-farmer. On that farm was raised corn, peanuts, potatoes, cot ton and tobacco. Mr. Scott is a milk-farmer. Farming is one of the most desirable and honorable classes of all the varied life of our great State. It is from the farm that our people have always looked for and found leadership. Its teach ings have never been more beauti ful or more faithfully or more splendidly exemplified than they are in the person of Charlie John son.' The recollections of his ex periences and of his labors and of the trials during his boyhood and young manhood on the farm will go with him into every effort of his future life, and he will employ those recollections untiringly to lessen the burdens of all. I beg the people of my State to consider what is involved in this campaign with that degree of earn estness and 'sincerity to which these things are entitled. Much is at stake. You should bring to bear upon your decision your best judg ment when you vote to choose a governor of your State. And when the qualifications' of the candidates are squared for the making o'f your choice, you will find no short comings in the merits of Charlie Johnson.
