Processes come and Prin-

ollnlans. There was a big to do
at the airport the other day
When pretty Sara Allison Moore
arrived at the port to visit her
relatives, the Tom C. Moores
But the excitement was actually
caused by the departure OF
Trans Princess Achraf, lovely
dark-haired twin sister of His
Royal Highness Mohammed
Reza Shah Pahlavi, who was
flying off to New York for the
first lap of her homeward jour-
ney. The plane was late and
Sara Allison waited with her
uncle and aunt to see the petite
PRINCESS step aboard the plane
as IT it were a magic CARPET
with flowing wells, sparkling
diamonds and much eclat. Fol
lowing at the requisite pace be-
hind her were three Persian
ladies in waiting and the Irani-
an courts gallant master of
ceremonies. The princess who
is u and has two children looks
all of Is, heads the Imperial
Foundation of Social Services of
her country. Her visit primari-
ly was made to study our we'll
organized agencies. As for the
Tar Heel visitor-she has some
thing to write home about!
OVAL ROOM
There was a goodly sprinkling
of Tar Heel women among those
who gathered Wednesday in the
Oval Room of the White House
to hear President Truman de-
liver his nonpartisan appeal for
the success of the current Food
Drive, as a part of the radio
broadcast arranged by the
Women's Division of the Nation
al committee, marking Demo
cratic Women's Day. The Presi-
dent emphasized the need for
greater participation by women
IN the affairs Of u country,
pointing out that the eligible
women voters outnumber the
men by more than one million.
Which, incidentally, is some
thing for us to think about, in
view of the fact that so many
women neglect this responsible
ty of citizenship. By going to
the polls, the President said,
women would be making "a
down payment on the kind of
world in which nations respect
one another"
Some changes have taken
place at the White House dur
ing the summer. The large East
Room, where a native North
Carolinian, Dolly Madison. once
presided as hostess and where
those invited to functions wait
in line to be received by the
President an. his wife, has a
new coat of white paint. So does
the basement corridor, the an
trance lobby and the long CORR
dor connecting the East room
with the State Dining room. The
latter has new hangings. Heavy
gold ones have replaced the
green draperies and set off the
oak-paneled walls. The Red
Room has a new chandelier-a
crystal one like those in the
other rooms. However the silver
chandelier in the State Dining
room is the same that has shed
its radiance on the distinguished
guests for As years or more.
Thus, the Presidents house,
like yours and mine, is being
made ready for winter.
