day engagement discovered Smiley
when he heard him hopefully play
ing his accordion backstage in a
Champaign, Illinois theatre, trying
to interest a radio talent scout.
Gene called from WIS in Chicago,
asking whether he would like to
come and work with him on the
Barn Dance program. Since that
time, the pair has been inseparable.
The Gene Autrys and the Smiley
Burnettes frequently have their
holiday dinners together, and enter

R0TARIANS HEAR
COOPER, GROOM
Discuss Lower Insurance
Rates At Weekly Meeting
Of Civic Club

Mayor Thomas E. Cooper and
Fire Chief j. Ludie Groom gave
short talks on lower fire insurance
rates for Wilmington at a meeting
of the Wilmington Rotary club at
the Cape Fear hotel yesterday.
Another feature of the meeting
was a discussion of the question:
Should A Man Tell His Wife Ev.
erything."
The mems side of the argument,
presented by Ham Marks, M. F.
Lander, and Major William Van
Dyke Ochs, was unanimous in that
wives will learn everything in con-
nection with their husbands actions,
therefore it is unnecessary to tell
them.
At the conclusion of the mems
statements, three wives of members
entered. They were: Mrs. Frederick
Willetts, Mrs. T. D. Love, Jr., and
Mrs. r. B. Hare, Jr., all of whom
presented pertinent points in their
contention that "in order to keep
out of the doghouse, tell your wife

Cooper, who was introduced by
Roger Moore as "a man who has
caused insurance agents in the city
some discomfort due to the reduc-
ton of the fire losses, and who is
expected to cause discomfort to
gubernatorial .aspirants when he
throws his hat in the ring" urged
that the Rotary and other civic
clubs take a more active part in the
promotion of the welfare of the city.
Their advice, he said, would be
greatly appreciated by the members
of the city commission when making
decisions regarding governmental
matters.
The mayor renewed his appeal for
lower insurance rates in Whining
ton as well as throughout the state,
basing his remarks on the fact that
"the fire loss and the insurance
rates are out of proportion
Groom stated: Due to the CO.
operation of Mayor Cooper and
other members of the city council,
the city fire department is now
equal to any city of it's size in
the country. We have modern
equipment and thoroughly trained
men,"
The program regarding tactics
in dealing with wives, was in
charge of Ben F. Sutherland.
One of the speakers termed con-
verting a man into a husband zone

patience should be exercised" ant

to Russia last summer on Russia's

Always, in speeches, in adver-

are certain to throw those two
