Raleigh
Roundup
MOVING — The Baptists’ Bib
lical Recorder, which now goes to
more than (id,000 subscribers each
week, is laying plans to change
printers after 80 years with By
num Printing Co.
A new high-speed press will
soon be installed at Edwards
Broughton Co., especially for the
Baptist weekly. This firm, which
has done most of the Wake Forest
college printing since before the
turn of the century, last printed
the Recorder—at that time pri
vately owned—about 1903.
IN SEVEN STATES—Barbara
Massey was known by only a few
people" until about two weeks ago.
She is the Greensboro girl charged
with asking a Charlotte detective
to murder Mrs. Frances Smith.
Just for curiosity, we checked
with the Carolina Clipping Service
here to see how the papers were
handling this bit of news. They
read the newspapers from seven
southeastern states. We found that
each big daily in the South—al
most without exception ran on its
front page the AP Wirephoto pic
ture of Miss Massey. The photo
was usually three columns wide—
about six inches—and six inches
high, or deep. The weekly, or non
daily, press treated the news more
quietly. They don’t do as milch
shouting as the big boys. In any
event, Miss Massey is now known
to millions.
Wa understand that interesting
sidelights and overtones to this
case are developing.
LEADING—Speaking of news
papers, the Raleigh Times—after
noon daily here—during the month
of October ran more advertising
than any other afternoon paper in
North Carolina.
STRIP CITIES - The United
States 25 years from now will be
a nation of “strip cities.'’ Don’t
be misled. This has nothing to do
with clothes, B. Bardot, or shows.
We refer here only to population.
We quote economists.
The economic report we saw es
tablishes about 10 great strip cit
ies in this country . . . and one of
them will begin here in North
Carolina. Ours will start with
Durham, will include all commun
ities between Durham and Win
stop-Salem east to Asheboro, east
further south to Wadesboro-—and
west to Shelby. The strip city will
he about 80 miles wide and go from
Durham County slam to Atlanta.
If you live in Piedmont North
Carolina within 25 miles of a large
city, you are going to be in a “strip
city” before you know it—and in
fact may already be in one. See
last week’s issue of U. S. News
and World Report . . . for further
information on this economic study.
NEW CANDIDATES? — Down
in Greenville, N. C., they have
Miss North Carolina, Robert L.
Humber, and Eastern Carolina col
lege.
While there last week we heard
■several citizens say they were go
ing to >et up a campaign for J. D.
Messick for Governor. Messick is
head of East Carolina, now regard
ed as one of the fastest-growing
colleges in the whole country.
Greenville wants a Governor.
When State Magazine ran a sur
vey a few weeks ago to find the
ten most interesting Tarheels, one
of those chosen was ,1. D. Messick.
BONNER OPPONENTS - Her
bert C. Bonner, who has represent
I ed the First Congressional Dis
I trict in Washintgon since '940,
1 seems to be attracting opposition.
' It may be his age (67) or merely
’ his long tenure in Washington. He
; first went there as assistant to
Lindsay Warren, who resigned
1 from the post to become Comp
■ troller General. Although the
' First is the smallest population
■ wise (247,894), it has 14 counties.
■ Each of them now seems to have a
; candidate interested in opposing
Bonner two years from now.

MISS JULIA STOKES
The Art exhibit which was held
on Wednesday, Dec. :i, in Hower

050 friends called during the after

toehold . . . now that labor has
moved more solidly into Congress.
Although there has been joyous
yelling in some quarters that the
Pearsall Plan is safe now that Ala
bama's similar plan has been ap
proved by Federal courts . . . Ralph
Moody, Asst. Attorney General . . .
and who knows . . . believes that
the Durham segregation case now
pending ... is the one to watch.
If it fails . . . keep an eye on it
. . . you can kiss our Pearsall Plan
goodbye . . . and then we will be
in for real trouble.
The University of N. C. Press
will publish next spring Rep.
Brooks Hays’ book, “A Southern
Moderate Speaks.” Yes, he spoke
and it cost him his seat in Con
gress.
We feel terrible the next day,
but frequently stay up to get the
Jack Parr show1 which comes on
television at 11:15. He gets some
stem-winders on as guests some
times. And, since it is so late,
they really let loose—flirting with
libel slander right and left. The
other night, Parr had on Oscar
Levant, who in one of his remarks
said: ‘‘I’m just like Eisenhower.
Once I make up my mind, I’m full
of indecision.”
The Governor had as house
guest last week Mr. and Mrs. Har
ry Truman . . . and by the time
you read this, interesting com

should be moving out of Raleigh.
You may not always agree with
him . . . but like the late Kerr
Scott, Harry Truman knows how
to say what he says in an unusual
way. I never see Truman that I
don’t think of what the late In
surance Commissioner Waldo
Cheek said when he first saw' him
at the Wake Forest college ground
breaking at Winston-Salem. Said
Waldo, looking over the then Pres
ident in a critical manner: “He
has the finest set of teeth 1 ever
saw.”
He does, too . . . look at them
in the next picture you see of him
. . . and 1 understand they are na

Some people think that Montreat

For nine months of the year.
But all they need to change their
minds
Is to ask us who live here.
For in our midst we have more life
Than summer friends can know
And for a proof of vim and verve
Just look at this, our show.
All kinds of things may here be

Result of brain and brawn.
We're proud of all that we have

Through work from dawn to

We’re thankful most for all our

Who through the years stand

Who share in worship, work and

And that means you -and you.
