Taken From Life

It was our first trip to Ra-
leigh and we were delighted
with the beauty of the capitol,
particularly with the view up
wards to the inside of the dome
It would be a tragedy If ever
the Legislature should take q
notion to add to or to change
the present capitol. If addi-
tional space is needed an en-
tirely separate building should
be constructed.
Sitting on the capitol grounds,
enjoying the landscaping and
paintings we noticed a squirrel
He would run along for about
six feet and then stop and look
anxiously around for a possible
enemy. He kept doing this, new
er moving more than six feet
without stopping to see If an
enemy were near. Tame as he
was, the instructive rear OF a
possible enemy had never been
tamd out of him. Some people
we know are just that fearful.
Like every other visitor, we
wonder at the unsupported
rotunda and stairways in the
capitol. We cannot figure that
out.
Anderson, the Associated
Press man, inquired how rapid
ly the concept and conscious
ness of a Southeastern North
Carolina was developing. We
told him we would have to an
swer that later. Perhaps read
ers know the answer now.

CHAPTER TWENTY = TWO

CHAPTER TWENTY = TWO
The frown had not quite left
Greg's face.
What about your mother
Gail? I imagine she has some
pretty fancy plans for you"
Gail colored, but she met his
eyes with her chin up.
"Then she'll have to give
them up" she told him quietly
She'll be upset, I suppose, but
that can't be helped. This is
home; this is where I want tc
stay; and you're the man ]
want to marry. After all, I have
a right to live my own life,
haven't II"
Greg's expression softened
and he bent his head and kissed
her warmly. Then he turned to
Charles holding her hand tightly.
"Well, sir, I guess that's
that" he said in a tone of hap
py finality.
"Seems to be-" Charles agreed,
and wrung Greg's hand.
Gail looked up and saw Norah
framed in the open doorway
How long she had been there,
there was no way of telling. But
she was clinging to the door
frame, her hand clenched until
the knuckles were small white
mounds; and her eyes were
wide and dark, her brown face
ashen pale.
ooh, Norah, I've finally land
ed Greg. Isn't that wonderful?
He put up a terrific fight" Gail
ratified gaily, but Norah gave
her a long, level look, and the
next moment, without a word,
had turned and fled. They heard
her running up the stairs, and
the next moment heard the
bang of her door as it closed
behind her.
Gail stared at the open door
way, astounded. Then she turn
ed wide, unbelieving eyes to
Greg and then to Charles and
Kate.
"Why, what's the matter with
Norah?" she demanded, and
took a step toward the door. But
Greg, without answering her,
laid a hand on her wrist, de-
tanning her.
And Gail saw that a heavy,
brooding look had replaced
Charles happy expression, and
Hates face was bent above her
mending, though her hands
were clenched and she made no
stitches.
"What is it," demanded Gail,
troubled and bewildered.
"What's wrong? She looked so
queer-ill."
"Let her alone, darling" said
Greg swiftly.
Gail looked up at him and
went a little white. SIS she in
love with your" she asked
clearly. "But of course! That
must be it. She's known you so
long - and no girl could know
you without falling in love with
you"
Greg gave her a little shake
and said sternly, "Be quiet, will
"But Norah is in love with
you. That's why it knocked her
for a loop when I told her"
"You precious little dumb
said Greg almost violent
ly. "Norah is not in love with
me. Heavens to Betsy, girl,
Norah and I are like brother
and sister! We grew up togeth-
er, practically"
"Then why did it knock her
out so completely to find out
I'd finally landed your"
"Stop talking like a bobby
You landed me, for
I've been pursuing you
like mad ever since you came
here"
"Don't change the subject.
Why is Norah so upset?"
"Don't be so PERSISTENT"
Greg had a distinctly badgered
look. perhaps she has a head
ache"
"It's not her head that aches
her heart" Gail told him
quietly. II saw her eyes"
"I'd let her alone, Gail, if II
were you," said Kate quietly.
Gail turned from her argu-
ment with Greg and her eyes
a little.
"But I was only worried
about her. She looked so-in,"
she stammered, a little abashed.

about the hearing was the size

commissioner the urgent need

was an irate delegation an
more than a little temper was
manifested in stressing the need
of the section.
The temper was excusable,
because of inability to get to

Grating school buses; inconven-
fences in delivering goods; hav-

It was plain the patience OF an

In closing the hearing the del

in much larger number unless
the promises in regard to a

Before the hearing, we called
at the Wake county chapter Of
the American Red Cross to

A nationwide program to makt dental care available for all chil- dren regardless of income or loca- ton is being urged by Dr. Sterling V. Mead (abovel, of Washington, D. C., new president of the Ameri- can Dental Association.
 "We believe that the greatest problem that now confronts us is the care of children" he said. Every child should have an annual dental examination. If parents are unable to meet the costs of dental care for their children, it should be provided by community health pro. grams"
 Dr. Mead said the dental associa. tion would seek aid from the new congress for children's dental care and for a national dental research institute in an effort to find new means of prevention and control of dental diseases. .
 He said, however, that the na- tion's dentists are opposed to com pulsory health insurance because it would fail to improve the na. tion's dental health.

People Aren't So
 Dumb After All, Poll-Takers Find
(Continued from Page One) Don't Trust Profit Reports

The second poll was conducted by the Opinion Research Corporation to find out public reaction to financial reports of business firms. A key dis covery, according to Business Week, was that "only 41 per cent of the pub lie believe that most corporations tell the truth about their profits"
 "A greater number GAS per cent) think that companies actually make more than they report" the magazine said.
 Even at top income levels, no more than 60 per cent of those questioned believed that corporations give the facts about their profits In the bottom brackets, only 28 per cent trust the financial statements.
 Many told the poll-takers that most businesses had hidden profits" and an even larger number contended that business is making too much" and charging "too high prices"
 ''The results, in general" said the magazine, ''shOw that the public takes business statistics with liberal sprinkling of salt. But the results may provide part of the answer for the busniess- man who wonders why he doesn't get more public sympathy"

School Lunch Friends Are Cut

Washington (LPA) = "What a cheat you are giving the American people. You have just passed a bill reducing the tax bill of the wealthy by three billion dollars. Is this the way you will make it up-by taking even the lunches away from the poor, defenseless urchins? }"
 Even the stings from such charges by Democratic members of the House of Representatives failed to stop the Republican steamroller as it cut Agri- culture Dept appropriations by one third, and voted the school lunch pro- gram only $45,O00000 instead of the %5,OO0,OOO, asked in the Presidents s budget.
