Mrs. Roosevelt says it has always
amused her to see celebrities but
unless she can sit down and really
talk to them and come away with
a feeling that she has actually made
the acquaintance of another human
being, she has no urge to go and
shake hands with them, or say
polite good morning or good eve
ming.
Artist Sees Celebrity
As Feeling Like Fugitive.
On one occasion Mr.. Rockwell
Kent, the artist, illustrator and writ
er, was asked how it felt to be
celebrity, and answered, Like a
man who has robbed bank and
expects to be apprehended-but is
congratulated instead" and by
the way Mr.. Kent's delightful fore
word and chatty captions to a new
album of World Famous Paint
ings' are clever and Kentish, put
ting life and zest into a stereotyped
subject. While having the repu-
tation of a critic he deplores the
liberties they often take with the
gallery public. He says, mo pic
tures-ever-were addressed to crit
les; they were made for you"-the
public. Though Mr.. Kent edited
the new album of famous pictures
he very frankly says had he been
assembling them he would have
made a different selection. There
has been wonderful progress and
innovations made in the art of col
ored pictures, but looking over some
colored reproductions found recent
ly in dusty old portfolio we thought
those printed some years ago were
much lovelier than the book or al
bum before us.
Enchanting Story
OF Wales and Welsh.
All, how lovely and enchanting
Is Richard Llewellyn's How Green
Was My Valley" that spell-binding
story of the Wales and Welsh of
80 years ago; the singing rhythm
of Welsh speech translated into al
most literal English goes singing
through the valley where the Nor
gans toiled, and sang and loved.
The pride of honest blood; the hu-
man frailties, the tragedies obsess
one and when he turns out his light
at three in the morning he is haunt
ed by the sorrows and the joys, too,
of people of whom he knew so
little. We would call the story not
q novel but a romance, a saga, COL
orful and stirring.
There is a large Welsh popula-
tion in the United States to whom
this story will give feeling of
inconsistencies Many of them in
former years have gone back to the
National Eisteddfod-an association
where the people from all parts of
Wales meet once year and enjoy
the singing tests and poetry COM
petitions. Ancient dancing is re-
vived and Druidic pageants. In the
Land of Wales" a most interest
Ing book by Eiluned and Peter Lew
is, we find that the tradition of
these national festivals were held
as early as the sixth century.
Mr.. Joseph Davies, sometime
American Ambassador to Belgium
and now a special assistant secre-
tary in the Department of State, is
of Welsh descent. Davies, through
the centuries, was a common name
In Wales. Mr.. Davies mother,
Rachel Davies, was a dissenting
preacher of the Baptist faith, an
enthusiastic follower of that great
religious movement in Wales in
which Mr.. Lloyd Georges father
and mother took such an active
part.

Fight Looms
At REA Meet
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, April lC.-A lively fight
over rights in nice slice OF Wilson
county's rural area is likely to mark
tomorroW's meeting Of the State
Rural ElectriIication Authority.
Conflict, if it develops, will be be-
tween the Wilson county cooperative,
which has been taken over and is be-
ing operated by the Wilson municipal
plant, and the new Tri-County Elec-
trical Membership Corporation which
has broadened its original plans to
the point where it now wishes to OPP
crate III comparatively small, but
potentially profitable, area in south
Wilson county.
The Wilson municipal me has been
cycling it for some time and it is quite
possible that it will appear before The
REA and vigorously oppose efforts
of the Tri-County group IL have the
disputed territory included in its
charter.
As originally proposed the Tri-
County would have served some zoo
miles in Wayne, Duplin and Lenior
but expansion of its detectives have
brought some Johnston and Wilson
territory within its proposed scope
Also it was at first believed tha
the Joncs-OnsloW cooperative Woulc
make a strong effort 10 have the Tri-
County included in its system anc
would oppose granting to it Of an in
dependent charter. This difficulty
however, has been irOned out peace
fully.
In addition to the Tri-County, a
least four other new coops arc eX-
pected to seek charters, while Others
will ask for extension of the ter
,itory included in their original char
tcrs.
The four proposed new coops will
operate in Cd Stokes and Surry, (2)
cumberland and Sampson, Isl Cum
3crland, Hokc. Robson, Scotland and
Lee, and ca Wake, Franklin, Gran
lie, Durham and Vance.

conceded that Taft is rather hum

Vandenberg has been too busy in the
senate to put up 4 primary fight for

Anyway, the Republicans story is
that they'll be united behind what
ever candidate their convention puts
up. They maintain that. contrariwiSe.
the Democrats are split wide open,
as they insist that the primaries have
revealed.
Their forecast is that. on election
day. lot of conservative Democrats
will stay home or even vote the G..
Q. =. ticket if their party names a
New Dealer and that 4 lot of New
Dealers will do the same thing if the
Democratic standard bearer is a con-

Radman, probably one Of the finest
all-around backs ever to play on a
University Of North Carolina foot

An old football iniury-a twisted
nerve IN his right throwing arm

and has taken away 4 great deal of
his pitching effectiveness. But fortu-
nately for George his consistent and
timely hitting has won him a start
