He never recognized a handi cap. Orphaned at the age of six months, he spent most of his childhood working as a field h^nd for thijj-ty cents a day. - His plight forced him from school after only eight months. Experience from that day be came his classroom. ‘ 'While still in his early years, he acquired a mortgaged and gullied plot of ground and mould ed it throiugh skill and patience into a farm to which conserva tion leaders painted with pride. His attention turned then from survival to service. He never looked back again. His life became a roster of ac complishment on many fronts, but his greatest contributions are recorded in the annals of Farm Bureau. In 1940, his abilities and ener gies already recognized by gov ernors and neighbors alike, he was nai.r.ed executive vice presi dent of the fledgling North Caro lina Farm Bureau. The organization’s membership had ebbed to a low of 1,726 faim- ilies scattered throughout six counties. Few people fostered any hope that Farm Bureau was destined for more than this. But the new hand on the reins was steady and sure. Crossing the state time and a- gain, Farm Bureau’s new spokes man exhorted rural, people to join together in an organization through which they could win a better standard of living The voice took root in those who heard it. Within eight years, the organization in North Caro lina had grown into a farm pow erhouse with over 70,000 farm families on the rolls. County units had sprung up across the state. The momentum has since seldom faltered. The man was R. Flake Shaw; who died in 1957. Accordpd many honors during his lifetime, his greatest was recently accorded him posthumously. He was elect-, ed this month to the North Caro lina Agricultural Hall of Fame. The orphan boy from Guilford County will not be forgotten. One of the first practical auto mobiles was tested at Kokomo, Ind.f in 1849. Elwood Haynes in vented it.

But this revival is a most wel come one. Actually, English design has always been with us but for a while it was pushed into the background because of the sudden popularity of Italian, French and so-callcd Mediter ranean designs. Once more, English designs in furniture are in full bloom in America as solidly as the Rock of Gibraltar. Some people resented the American invasion by the Beatles but we welcome with open arms the great classic tradition of enduring designs and designers such as Chip pendale, Hepplcwhite, Shera ton and Adam. You will be hearing the words Jacobean, Elizabethan, Queen Anne, Regency and Georgian more and more. This docs not mean that good modern and contempor ary design is taking a back seat or that Early American (which Is really a form of country Chippendale) will be less popular. There Is room In this coun try for all good design. C. tain, of In Schd 1966 Villa Th pose eenti surp lollii stud; oldei \
