WITH BE.
The Readers Write:
Dear Ben: I have a problem on
my mind which I thirlI should be
given publicity. I would appreciate
it whole lot if you could or would
say something about it. I live down
at Wrightsville Beach and as do
not have an automobile I have to
use the bus for transportation.
Now it so happens I live down the
northern extension and the bus has
a very infrequent schedule down
our way. There are a number of
families that live on the II ,rther
extension throughout the year who
use the bus. 1t is most inconveni-
ent to have to get off at the station
some blocks from our homes when
it seems to me, for the few extra
minutes it would take, that the bus
could make both ends of the beach.
I have seen the time when as many
as seven people would get off at
station l and leave only one per-
son in the bus going down the
southern extension. Now, I don'1
say that happens all the time, but
lit does happen.
At certain times during the day
but not later than $3.50 p. m, q
bus will come down the northern
end. With the heavy riding traffic
going to the northern extension we
certainly deserve a little more
consideration. I have talked to
number of people aboHt this situa
ton but I have been unable to
have anything done about the con.
dition. On most trips the drivers
have more than enough time to
spare to make both ends. I have
heard several people complain
about this situation do wish
something could be done about it.
With many thanks in advance for
your interest, I am
Very Truly yours,
Mrs. M. D. r.

Round About
You have heard and read s! lot
about the students who participated
on yesterdays most successful air
ing of the "Teen-Age Merry-Go'
Round" but frankly I don't think
words could do such fine perform
ers full justice. They were terrific
IL was dH uOIlOI dIlO q PASoS
work with such outstanding artlsts
+. we would like to point out thai
it is the hope Of all who heard the
program, and from the telephone
calls received it had large lis
tening audience, that Sarah Ann
Eaton and Bobby Melton will con
tinue their music studies. IL
would be a shame for Sarah Anr
Eaton not to work hard to develop
her talent. She is, one young
lady who has a natural gift. II
truth, a golden voice. Eugene
Mauney is another who has VIVA VIVA,
it takes in the music world. ~
course, they are still young Dur
they have great possibilities.
With deepest sincerity we feel sure
that in time to come we Will nea.
more and more from and anou,
