Editorial Miss Beatrice Cobb Will Be Sorely Missed By North Carolina Newspapers Miss Beatrice Cobb, secretary-treasurer of the North Carolina Press Association, died last week (Fri day) in Duke Hospital. Miss Cobb served in this capacity for 37 years and was the power behind the "throne" which has made the North Carolina Press Association the strong or ganization that it is today. She will be sorely missed and it will be a difficult task to fill her shoes. No one has ever devoted their life to anything or any cause more than Miss Cobb did to the North Carolina Press Association. It is our opinion that the weekly newspaper in North Carolina would not be as strong as they are today had it not been for the 6upport which Miss Cobb gave to the field. Almost all of the weekly newspapers in North Carolina today are members of the North Caro lina Press Association. Her loss will be felt, not only in her hometown of Morganton, where she edited the News-Hearld, but throughout the newspaper industry in North Carolina. Paul Barwick.
