sent day when it represents the
solid unity of the forty-eight states
and stands for the right Of the peo-
pie of the United States to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness will be showed at Carolina
theater, on June IA. Behind the
flag and completely a part of it is
the development of the nation and

blem of democracy and shows the
methods Of hanging and saluting

On the rockbound coast of Scot

An old gray castle looks down
On the wildly dashing breakers.
At a high and vaulted window
A woman's face is seen,
With pallid cheek and tear-dim-
med eye.
Her harp she plays, and while
she sings,
Through her flowing tresses the
wind blows wild,
Bearing her mournful melody,
Far DER the wide, tempestuous
main.

Calling a Halt

Aside from those directly con-
cernCd in beneticent way, the ST.
prcmc Courts decision in the dry
cleaners case has seemed to strike
general approval. It was d blow at
tendency in recent sessions Of the
State legislature To restrict and reg
uIate nearly everything and every
body.
Too many groups already have
sought to CircumScribc themselves
in manner aimed at limiting COM
petition and keeping out of d given
trade or profCS len all those not
meeting with the approval Of such
groups. II the decision Of the high
court does not invite recaicitrants
in other fields to bring test cases,
i may at least cali halt to similar
moves by organizations that had not
yet gotten around to building a
wall about themselves to keep on,
all whom they decided they did not
want among them.
There was lGc2l interest in the
Supreme Court dec ion because the
case ruled upon originated in this
county and was hard fought in
superior court here as well as be-
fore the high tribunal.
In an editorial Under the head
ing, 'Ebb of the Tide" the Hickory

courts action as follows:
Let us all hope that the North
Carolina Supreme Court decision bv
which the Dry Cleaning Com
mission Act was declared uncon,

geSted in Raleigh, that the high tide
of "legalized guilds" has begun to
