If they didn’t he* avered, he’d stand on his head atop the church. In stead he gave a more versatile performance, to the delight of about two dozen Carolina Meth odists assembled below him. “He sang real loud—and it sounded sincere,” commented one. To pay off some of the victors who didn’t show up for the occasion. Mr. White telephoned ’em anony mously some time after midnight and sang the Tar Heel alma mater on command performance for ’em. “ ' “ • “ ' ' NOW THAT THE COURT house has a central air-condition ing system, the noble forces of the Civic Betterment League are re-grouping to push a campaign for a public address system in the courthouse.
