VOL XXXV HO. la KENANSVILLE.N.C. MARCH 21. 1968 PiUCE 109 PLUS TAX Trial & Error Wh very happy to see that my. friend, Margaret Harper froqt Southport, has filed for Lt. Governor of North Carolina. Margaret Is a lovely per son and very smart also. Eventhough I do not know her intimately, I have known her casually for the past ten years. She (s most vivacious and good looking too. Her husband, Jim, Is editor and publisher of the paper In South port and a few /ears ago, he was president of the North Carolina Press Association. I think lt Is wonderful that women are taking more Interest In politics, and I think they will do a good lob. Many women have been forced Into the business world through no choice of their own, but due to various cir cumstances, and they have had to swim or drown. Now many women are becoming Interested In this type of work, and will do an excellent Job - because it is the job of their choice.

When he returned, a client of nearly four years'standing drop ped Mm, and two firms that had expressed keen Interest In using Mm in his prebearc *.ys suddenly cooled. The article pointed out that some companies thst ban beards may be missing out on some creative talent.
