Raleigh from all over North Caro-

we're wasting 4 lot of money by
giving it to the wrong people.
Well, i know that at least 10 per

make a mistake with 10 per cent
Of the people than let the other
80 per cent be left out. And while
I'm talking to you, let me tell
you this: I don't want ever to
hear of any of you administrators
becoming arrogant in dispensing

PILGRIM BROTHERHOOD

Crossing the City of Toxic one
night in a jinrikishah, suddenly
found myself acclaimed with
friendly shouts by a company of
white-robed pilgrims, such as are
familiar sight in Japan. 1t was
an instant before / could under
stand the reason for the demon
stration.
Then I recalled that was carry
ing, in plain sight, Full Pilgrim
staff, such as is owned only by
those who have assembled to the
top Of Japan's highest and most
famous mountain, as / had done
few days before waved my
staff in return salutation as we
passed.
I, too, was a pilgrim. We had
shared great feat experience to-
gether, these japanese and I. So
We greeted one another as those
who had scaled the heights. We
were bound together for the mo-
ment by the ties of memorable
experience. -
So should fellow Christians greet
one another as pilgrims to the
greatest heights. Strongest Of all
the ties that bind men together is
the Christian religion, which con-
stitutes the oldest, widest, deepest
fellowship among mankind.
As we journey toward a heaven
ly goal, dear Lord, make us con-
scious ever Of our fellowship with
all the other pilgrims on the same
journey. Amen.

MOTHER AND SON. by
Clarkton Crane (Harcours

Helen Wheeler, for years WI
dow, and her son Drake, some
what remote and urbane pair,
have Withdrawn sedately today to
a southern California home; t1is
novel deals with the few stormy
weeks, three decades ago, when
their interdependence first de-

Wheeler had just died In Chi

a boarding school in the west. Her
sister wants her to marry again
and there are two eligible pros

But there's a third man, Henry
Moore, an uninhibited artist fresh
out of Paris, not SO eligible in the
sisters opinion but so impetuouS
that he interferes with the Schem'

The attractive Helen gets three
proposals, the two which her SIS
ter wants for her and the one she
wants, or thinks she wants, from
Moore. Failing madly in love win

BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

If today's hand is a sample Of
the bridge developed. by our boys
overseas, we can look for some
new champions in the near future.
This hand came from Branko So
laric, who played it in Rome last
year. He was a little optimistic in
his opening bid Of two clubs, but
it is hard to criticize a successful
operator.
Solaric won the opening lead
with the ace of clubs and cashed
the club king. Now he had to trust
everything to the heart finesse, so
he cashed the ace Of hearts and
finessed the ten-spot. When 1t held,
he cashed the king of hearts and
discarded his four Of diamonds,
then discarded the four Of spades
on the jack of hearts. He ruffed
the ten Of diamonds and stripped
Vests hand Of spades by playing
out the ace and king. A small club
was led, which West won with the
queen. Now West had to lead a dia-
mond, which allowed the declarer
to discard the eight of spades from
his own hand and ruff in dummy.

When a great man dies the news
papers are full of little stories
about him, little stories that prove
his humanness.
Great men and hunanness, I
believe you'll agree, belong in the
same breath. When stuffed shirts
die, they get themselves a per-
functory obituary and editors
write sedate editorials about them
and let it 60 at that. Stuffed
shirts don't seem to get to first
base, either, In the history books.
Some Of the best newspaper
stories ever read were written
when Franklin D. Roosevelt died.
Damon Runyon, for instance, wrote
one that still has the boys in the
city rooms all over the country
talking. Runyon was opposed to
many of Roosevelt's policies, but
he wrote a story about a little
boy and his father standing on
Pennsylvania avenue watching the
Roosevelt funeral procession that
simply breathed with the human
ness Of Roosevelt. I wish I could
reprint the story for you here.
But I'll just give you the gist.
The father was a wealthy in
dustrialist, who while Roosevelt
was living always referred to him
as "that man in the White House."
He had disliked Roosevelt intense
ly. The boy hadn't grown old
enough to hate. AS the funeral
procession went by, their CONVEX
sation, according to Runyon, went
about like this:
Son: II remember him for his
great big SMILE
Father: Eyes, we used to think
he was giving us the horse laugh.
But today I feel like it was the
smile Of a man who was trying
to do something for his fellows"
Son: II remember him for those

GIN Strike Mediation

The General Motors - CLIO contro-
versy has been so long-lived and hope
of settlement so remote, the public
had come to view it as a shakespeare
proposition. With the appointment of
James f. Dewey as special conciliator
and Mr.. Dewey's prompt conferences
with the No. 1 men on both sides, it
would seem to have come down into
the atmosphere and so gives promise of
mortal solution.
It was Mr.. Dewey who settled the
sit-down strike at General Motors in
1887. Obviously he has good attributes
as a mediator. The government is for
tunate in being able to draw him back
into it's service for this difficult task.
The most hopeful sign comes from
Walter P. Reuther, vice president of
the striking union, following an inter-
view with Mr.. Dewey, who declared
1.-THE union is agreeable to meet again
with GM." Although there is no state
ment from Charles E. Wilson, GIN
president, Dewey declared his confer.
ence with him was entirely satisfac-
tory.
Altogether it appears that both sides
are more inclined to compromise points
at issue than in the past, which speaks
well for the possibility of successful

would be wise, despite the optimism
that spread so rapidly after Dewey's
appointment, not to count too much on
speedy adjustments between the union

in the controversy to lead either party
to take snap judgment of proposals
from the other.
