TALKS
By MONTEEN WINSTEAD

The most enjoyable trip I've ever
taken, was the one I took to Win
steadville, Bath, and Washinton, N.
c. If you've ever been to any of
these places, you know how interest
ing it is, and how exciting it is to
think that people in American His
tory have set foot on the very ground
that you are walking on. As you
walk on you begin to wonder what
were the names of those people who
were brave enough to come to Amer
lea and settle to make a home for
new nation, and yet not knowing
whether they would ever live to see
another sun rise or not. They had
tic be very brave people to do this,
which they were indeed.
Have any of you ever been to
Bath? Well if you haven't you have
missed a lot. The church there Is
the most interesting sight I've ever
seen.
The church as a whole isn't as
large as the Presbyterian church
here. There is a graveyard on both
sides of the walk. The walk is
brick.
AS we walked along the walk we
looked at the tombstones. There
were Adams, Sanderson, and others
who were buried there.
The church is built of brick i'm
ported from England. It was erect
ed in 1874. The name is st. Thomas
Episcopal church.
The inside is very interesting. The
aisle is brick just like the walk.
The floor is of dirt: Over to the
right in front of the altar in
glass case is the bible Queen Anne
II gave to the church. It is the
same size of a pulpit bible. The
bible was printed in England. Above
this on a little shelf is the original
lock and key of the church. It is
very large.
The altar is of tile. 1t has a
pulpit like the Methodist and Bap-
fist churches here. Behind it is q
table with a cross on it. In front of
the table is little cushion on which
to kneel, except this is for the
preacher. There are two windows on

each side of the pulpit. The lief:

of Margaret Palmer, wife Of Robert
Palmer. She came to North Carolina
with the Bath colony. The climate
gave her i'll health so she went back
to England, but got no better so

of A."
The window stills are very wide,
and under that window sill she was
buried.

oldest standing church in the United
States, and Bath is the oldest town
in North Carolina.
In Washington and New Bern there
are brick streets, but not all of them
are brick. The brick streets are very
pretty, and very smooth.
In Washington I saw the home OF
Cecil B. DeMille, the great movie
producer. 1t is now a tourist home.
1t is large and very beautiful.
There are many interesting things
about these places, and if you ever
have a chance to visit there, please
don't miss it. I think you will find
the trip worth while.

Amvets Head Charges
'Antiyeferan' Policy
In DHC Interpretation

Ray Sawyer, commander OF the
Washington Chapter Of American
Veterans of World War II, charged
that every legal Interpretation Of
the Defense Homes Corporation has
been "anti-veteran."
Mr.. Sawyer spoke In defense Of
Mrs. Evafyn Walsh Mclean, who
last night drew the criticism OF
DHC for her charge in paid news
paper advertisements that the pro-
posed sales Of Mclean Gardens,
Naylor Gardens and other surplus
housing was "a scheme Matched by
certain placed public housing
bureaucrats" to sell the properties
to private real estate interests and
completely ignore the pleas of war
veterans desperately in need Of
decent homes for themselves and
their families"
DHC issued q statement terming
Mrs. McLean's charge as entirely
unfounded" and contending that
Mrs. McLean's statement ignores
these two facts:
/. That the DHC made 1t known
at the outset and has repeatedly
stated that veterans and servicemen
must continue to have exclusive top
preference for admission to these
projects"
No Authority for Preference.
2. That the DIG has been en-
gagged in discussions with the Vet
Grams Cooperative Housing Asso-
citation and with a cooperative Of
residents in an effort to work out
sound plan for the cooperative
purchase Of Naylor Gardens with
full preference to veterans in all
vacancies as they occur.
The DHC statement said that the
only dispute involves the desire of
the veterans group to buy Mclean
Gardens without competition and at
a price below the market value. I'm
der existing law, the housing cor
poration contended, it has no legal
authority to grant this privilege.
DHC also denied that the Gov
ernment has 100000 surplus units
and said it was Understandable"
that Mrs. McLean's advertisements
were. based on inaccurate informa-
ton since she did not check the
facts with the president or general
manager Of the DHC.
AMVETS Claim Plan.
Mr.. Sawyer said that DIG was
now taking credit for giving rental
priorities to veterans when actually
it had made no such provision until
after AMVETS announced its plans
for veterans cooperative to buy
the surplus housing.
The rental priorities, Mr.. Sawyer
contended, were not listed as a con-
dition in the original DIG an
nouncement that it was putting up
the property for sale.
Mrs. Mclean let them OF easy, ="
Mr.. Sawyer said. Every legal de-
cision they have made has been
against the veterans. They COM
pletely ignore the surplus property
regulation which requires the dis
posal agency to fix . unit price
for sale Of the property and offer
it first to priority groups-one Of
which Is the veterans group"
