my friends everywhere to disband
the Ku Klux Khan wherever it
exists and wholly out in the open
for the causes in which they be-

In letter written to Willard c..
Cole, editor of Whiteville's News
Reporter who Scooped the state
with his report on Hamilton'S re-
pudiation of the Khan, Hamilton
said, Il will never again Join or

Cole, who joined forces with
| w. Horace Carter, editor of the
Tabor City Tribune, in a crusade
against the Klan which won Pulit-
ger Prizes for both Carter and
Cole, stated that Hamilton showed
no resentment toward the news
papers which helped to bring him
to justice, and pledged his future
to the cause of good citizenship.
Il want to say to the people of
Columbus County that 1 am truly
sorry for the suffering and heart
aches which the Khan brought to
them," he said. With the help of

for my share in these sad expert

clared that Il harbor no i'll will.

His most positive declaration Of
intent was stated near the end of
his seven hundred word letter.
Il am through with the Ku Klux
Khan and believe all my former
associates will best serve them

Hamilton admitted he had not

Blowing fuse, either emotionally or cleo
trically, would disqualify the contestant. So
would dropping the baby, setting her in the
sink or hanging her on doorl1nob. The
contestant should be given the advantage
on all other points, though. A child who is
merely snufiing, for example, should be ad-
Judged to be properly shushed.
Contestant No. 2 starts in front Of the
naked, newly baked cake and a pan of FROST

lem. but with her left foot she must fend
both children and the puppy away from the
hot oven door, which has been left open to
make the stunt more interesting.

AT THE go" signal, the contestant must
start spooning the frosting onto the cake.
simultaneously book salesman begins
humping at the back door, the little girl
begins crying for drink of water which she
can't have because she just finished eating
half can of baking powder and the little
boy starts asking questions.
Within two and half minutes, or before
the frosting hardens. she must do an artistic
job on the cake, shut the little girl up with
out giving her a drink, dismiss the book
salesman without shouting anything unlady-
like at him, and explain to the little boy
where the light goes when you turn it off
and why he can't have pet camel.
Stunts like these would provide not only
wholesome entertainment, but also dandy
training ground for practical housewives.
As for prizes, don't think the average
housewife can conceive the real value of
$4,000 worth of merchandise or cash. any
more than New Zealand bushman could
appreciate sable coat. The winner would
trip off just as gleefully, bet, if she got just
enough money to square off her budget at
the end of the month.

on the right side of it nearly always came in

who lined US up for the start, so she could
choose whoever she liked for the winning and
losing starting points. That's how we lost
when we'd been bad and won when we were
sad, or on our birthdays. Sister Rosa loved
birthdays"
After second he realized it was his cue
for a comment.
1T was sweet of her, wasn't it?" he said.

it so the one whose boat won was somebody
who'd been disappointed or sad, or maybe had
a birthday that day. Sister Rosa loved birth
days. And the one who lost was nearly always
one who'd been selfish or naughty"
She gave small yawn and closed her eyes
a moment He blinked with satisfaction at
these tokens of the success of his treatment.
Il said to her one day, Sister Rosa. you
told us there isn't spirit in the river, as the
people in the town say; but believe there is.
A good spirit, because he's so fair. Look how
he helped my boat to win that day I'd burned
my finger. And on my birthday. And Ii Lam
won on her birthday, too, and so did Chu
Tsai And it's only when we're bad that our
boat comes in last But Sister Rosa smiled
and said there was no river-spirit and soon
afterward understood why that was true
Because she fixed those races herselfr".

for fneness about the eyes, was set in con-

would have ended her life inside an hour if the
bullets path had been quarter of an inch
lower. And Su Mel had left her home and
risked death to enter this tiny colony. To
now in his pocket?
He wanted to know.
For a moment he hesitated, inhaling the
fragrance of the garden after the sterile reek
of the operating theatre. The fragrance came
from the frail pink roses Matron had spent so
much time cultivating; they were in bloom at
last, and their scent was dream of home
Then he took out the small cylinder, slipped
off the Oilskin wrapping and umolled the con-
tents. 1t was ribbon of scarlet silk, two
inches wide and a yard long, embroidered in
yellow with an inscription in Chinese char
acters.
After his years work in the colony Richard
Brown could speak some Chinese, but he
could not read the script. After single glance
he rolled it again in his fine surgeons fingers,
returned it to the oilskin bag and thrust it
into the back of his wallet
HERE was more work then. And he forgot
Su Mel and her secret until he met the theatre
sister in the mems surgical ward late in the
afternoon.

said. "She's missed the thing she had strapped

though it was colored by an odd accent
He took out his pocket book and handed
over the tiny roll.
II kept this safe for YOU"
The guileless eyes, steeply oblique, filled
with tears.
Il ask forgiveness, she said humbly, her
whole body trembling in deep emotion. The
little cylinder was already out of sight
Richard Brown sat on her cot, with most
of the children in the ward watching atten-
lively. Peace was what this poor child needed,
peace and Sleep And he knew how to bring
peace to people His healing gift wasn't only
in his hands,
She must be induced to talk about some
thing restful, something to lead her away from
the emotion that had tied her in tight knot
He asked experimentally, Il wonder who
taught you to speak English so well"
Sister Rosa;" the girl said, and at once he
sensed an easing of tension, just as if Sister
Rosa's name was symbol of peace and con-
fidence. When we were little at the orphan
age, Sister Rosa taught US English"
Sister Rosa. An English sister?"
Some of the sisters were English, but
Sister Rosa was American. She was born in
Italy, though"
And she taught you English?"
when we were very little She only taught
the smallest ones. She wasn't one of the clever
sisters. She just looked after us before we
could do proper lessons and afterward she
taught us needlework."
1T WAS working. With every word she was
growing calmer. She needed to talk Il think
you were very fond of Sister Rosa" Richard
Brown was deliberately drawing her out
Everybody was" she answered simply
Her name wasn't really Sister Rosa 1t was
long Italian name, too hard for us to say
when we were so little, and the Mother Supe-
rior called her Sister Rosa because she loved
roses so much - so we all called her Sister
Rosa"
do roses grow in China, them"
She told him, mot in our province, but
Sister Rosa had planted them all over the
garden. One bush gave her many blossoms,
the one by the paper boat bridge"
He let her chatter on, only half listening
but keeping up his look of pleased attention.
I'VE called it the paper boat bridge because
we startedow paper boats underneath it when
we had races. They were all Sister Rosa's
idea. She made the paper boats and painted
a picture on each one - fish or lotus or
new moon or an eye. And there was always
piece of crystallized ginger for the winner, or
paper hat or picture with angels. And the
one whose boat came in last got chore to do,
perhaps wedding the garden or collecting all
the toys"
She smiled for the first time
But, do you know, Sister Rosa always

 It looks now as though those hostlites are not very far in the future-even if the belligerents are not the ones MT. Dulles had in mind. And since no one else seems to know what to do, we suggest the matter be turned to the United Nations. This should be made to order for it.

Six Killed in Two Fireworks Blasts

SCHENECTADY, NY, R-An explosion leveled the main build ing of a fireworks factory near here Saturday, killing two men and injuring third.
 The blast destroyed a 20-by- 30- foot one story, cement block building at the North American Fireworks Co. factory about four miles east of the city, along the Mohawk waterfront.
 Windows were shattered in homes a mile away. Cement blocks and 2-by-10 wooden beams from the plant were blown over the land and into trees.
 HOUSTON, R - More than 10000 pounds of holiday fire works blew up Friday in spout of flame, killing four persons in a nearby cottage and injuring 75 others in the neighborhood.
 Damage was estimated at 3 million dollars. Most of the in jured were in nearby small cot tages and apartment houses. Only two men were in the fireworks warehouse and both escaped with minor injuries, running outside as soon as spark touched off the blaze that resulted in the explo- sion.
 The explosion smashed nearly everything in the block surround ing the Alec Fireworks and Spe- cialty Co. warehouse. At least a dozen homes blazed. Other homes gaped openly, their windows shat tered, roofs stripped and sides sheared away.
