C 0( C Slates No Yule Parade For This Year George Moray, secretary of the Black Mountain Chamber of Commerce stated today, ruesday, that a poll of the members of the chamber show, sd that it was their desire to cancel entirely all plans for a Christmas parade this year. The postponement from the original date of Monday, November 25 caused conflict in the schedules of the bands ivhich were scheduled to par ticipate in the parade and be cause of these former com mitments it would have been unpractical to try another date with no bands taking part. Christmas decorations are being placed on the posts of the downtown section with the ones on Broadway al ready installed. Others will be placed as weather permits, and as yet no date has been set for the lights to be turn ed on.

Student Says Consolation To Be Found PRESIDENT’S DEATH Dear Editor; On campus, here at the University of North Carolina, the reaction over the death of the President has been, and still is to a certain extent, one of disbelief. Nobody could bring themselves to be lieve that John Kennedy was dead. It was a thing that in today’s America just couldn’t happen to such a “good and ?reat man.” When it was announced that “Lee Oswald is beyond a doubt the President’s assasin”, there was considerable feel ing here on campus that Ken nedy should be avenged. Those of us who were more realistic knew that no amount of revenge or reprisal could restore the life of John Ken nedy. It would not in any way constitute justice if Lee Oswald were made the vis tim of reprisal. But now, this in fact is the case, and the assasin has also been killed. Those who want ed revenge have gotten it. There is great disappointment however, because now the real reason that John Ken nedy died will never be learn ed. There are many reasons why John Kennedy might have been killed—each as important as the other. And each one of these reasons must be dealt with with the same thoroughness as Oswald’s would have been. Until such measures are taken by every American, there is still a —Turn to Page 4
