If you want to look at it. it's in the back seat.” -R More Contribution* During the 1961 session of the General Assembly, a 1 1 members were very much im presed by the serious attitude and fairness of Speaker Joseph M. Hunt of Greensboro. There was no put-on and no show-off attitude about “Joe”. Among the house members he came to be known as a “Good Joe”. Last week it was no surprise to me when the following note came along with the article "One Solitary Life” Dear Gordon: Since Easter is so near, I thought possibly you would be interested in running this in your paper. Joe “ONE SOLITARY LIFE” Here was a man who was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another obscure village. He worked in a carp enter shop until he was 30, then for three years he was an itinerant preacher. He never wrote a book . He nev er held an office. He never owned a home. He never had a family. He never went to college. He never put his foot inside a big city. He nev er travelled two hundred miles from the place of his birth. He never did one of the things that usually accompany great ness, He had no credentials out himself. He had nothing to “° "Hh this world except the naked power of his divine manhood. While still a young man, the tide of popular o finion turned against him. He was turned over to his en emies. He went through the mockery 0f a trail. He was nahed to a cross between two tr.ieves.

It was a day packed with club activities with the first flower show, given by the garden division in progress in the morning, and the program and business session in the afternoon. The program topic was on Enka products, presented by two representatives from the plant who showed a film of the processes and materials used in the making of their materials and a second film which pointed out the upset ting of the economic balance due to the influx of foreign materials. The living stand ards in most foreign count ries is much lower than ours because of lower salaries, their products can be sold for less and our factories can not compete. The men brought with them some samples of garments made of Enka materials and in a brief talk told the mem bers about the Enka plant which covers over 60 acres of land in the Hominy valley and many other interesting facts. Following the program m slate of officers was presented for voting and the following officers were elected lor the coming club year: Mrs. h Carl Bowness, president; Mrs. Harold McNary, first vice president; Mrs. Ivan Stafford, second vice-president; Mrs. Tom Nesbitt, third vice-presi dent; Mrs. W.

Tea And Topic Hears Students At April Meet Miss Gudrun Davidsen and Charlie Goh, foreign students at Warren Wilson college, gave interesting and informa tive talks about their respec tive countries at the April bus iness and literary meeting of the Tea and Topic club held at the home of Mrs. Max Woodcock. Mr. Goh. whose home is in Miri, Sarawak, an area with approximately 700.000 people on the island of Borneo, said that there is no American consulate in his country, and practically no contact with America there. Communica tion is difficult because there are jungles and the people live in widely scattered areas. Communists have no influence on the island, which is govern ed by the British. The speak er, who is here on a scholar ship, gave much credit to England and the United Na tions for helping the people. The former, he said, helped by educating students who will eventually govern the country. The latter got rid of mosqui toes on the island, among other accomplishments. Food is plentiful and homes are easily built, as they need only to bend down trees and cover them with leaves to have shel ter. Shell Oil Company mono polizes the oil production there. Miss Davidsen, who is a niece of Mrs. Bernhard Laur sen, dietitian at Warren Wil son, and who is from Aalborg, Denmark, described conditions in that country of 550 islands. Although Lutheran is the state church and the king must be of that religion, there are many Catholics. She said that there are no poor people and no slums in Denmark, which is about one-forth the size of North Carolina. All raw mat —Turn to rage 4 C. C. Stewart Speaks To Club On Youth Work Corbett C.
