The District Central Suffrage

nights urged Chairman Case OF
the Senate District Committee
to seek early passage by the
Senate on his bill for home rule

Harry Wender recommended
that the conference send a letter

whelming vote" in support of the
Case bill and to invite the bar
group to become af1lliated with
the conference in actively sup
porting the bill.
Four new trustees were elected
to fill vacancies on the board:
Philip Brown, Louis Oberdorfer,
William B. West and George
Pendleton.
It also was decided to thank
the District Democratic Commit
tee for its 81 contribution last
year and to invite the local Re-
publican committee to match this
contribution.

turn away from them" (Romans

Even l haven't will power
enough to think about work when
delicious looking steak is star

Perhaps, I'm carried away due
to the excellent service by a most
attractive waitress however, l
rather think that was only one
contributing factor. Possibly, the
best reason I'm so enthusiastic
about South of The Border" is
hat my faith has been restored
in finding excellent food and
service in restaurants.
If you decide to give tae wife
a break from the regular routine,
II takes only an extra gallon of

PLAIN TALK:

A growing stomach and
hearty appetite for eating in
places where there is an atmos-.
phere conducive to easy food di-
gestion led me South of The
Border" last week.
II the name is familiar then
skip this column - you won't
learn anything new. II you
haven't been there or had the
good fortune to hear about it
read on.
Located about three miles from
Rowland, N. c. on Highway 3O1
and SOL, the restaurant and motel
offers the latest word in service,
comfort and tasty food at a rea-
sonable price.
Despite the fact that l was
starving (the wife was still in
Florida) it took me ten minutes
to decide what l wanted from the
menu.
Instead of looking at the menu
for the purpose of selecting my
NEAL found myself fascinated
with the clever side notes.
1t all happened while I was
looking for the section devoted
to sandwiches (from the swanky
appearance of South of The
Border" it was my bet that 1
could afford nothing more).
My eyes snagged on this note
I'VE are tho southern distribut-
ors for Brooklyn baloney." Next,
came 1--WE accept Yankee money
at face value"
By this time / had completely
lost sight of the menu for food
purposes and only the soft voice
of the young waitress brought
me face to face with reality.
Nope, the waitress didn't snarl,
growl or make the first move
that would indicate she was
peeved by my disregard for
placing an order.
Realizing that my furnished
manners were showing-I glanc-
ed at the menu and found a steak
that suited both my appetite and
'uoget. With my order duly
recorded, she flashed a smile
and departed.
Before I realized it, the sizzl-
ing steak was placed in front of
me but not until after l had read
the menu from "kiver" to xiv
err"

With the raspy chant of tobacco auc-
toneers dominating the local scene and a
natural anticipation of heavy business to
come for the next few months, it's only nat
ural that we need an extra push to remem-
Der that just around the corner the Seventh
Yam Festival waits its turn.
There is little doubt that the Yam
Festival is the most colorful season of the
year and has lately become our only legiti-
mate claim to fame. It's the time of the
year when our small farming community
tears off its cover and puts on the dog"
1t is our belief that no other small town
is better organized for such festivities than
Tabor City. Yam season seems to act as a
tonic for civic-minded citizens who other
wise dare not rear their heads for fear of
being called upon for work. It's time Of
year when everyone works together for the
benefit of the town.
From this once obscure festival that
was called later day" has grown a solid
reputation for Tabor City as THE Yam
Capital of The World and people in all
walks of life have heard of Tabor CITY
through its production and promotion of
vans.
Beneath this fanfare we find the Yam
Festival directly credited with improving
the quality of sweet potatoes grown in this
section of the country. Farmers, who seven
