who stood the boat dock and fished all afternoon.
Their catch was pathetic but they proud as
they strung the diversified minnows.

awaiting only the installation of the
new leaders, those bills have all been
eradicated.
Stephens and Faux deserve lot
of credit. 1t is difficult enough to pay
your own bills but much more so to
pay those which you had no active
part in creating.
AS new officers take over, they
have clean financial slate and it is
our hope that they will see the need
for active community service and set
to work to make their mark during
the 1955-56 year.

A Surprise

Surprises like variety often the spice of life

Matter of fact, if you had seen Harry last We'd

thing by him. =,
All this is supposed to be secret be sure and
say nothing to Harry about it.
Last Wednesday, Harry rushing around town
getting last minute advertising for the Tribune and
thinking about taking the Red and White ad back
to Conway.
Pat, put the Red and White ad in my car" Harry
told Pat Garrett, of the sharpest l9year-olds in
the printing business, who nodded his head in response
Shortly after making the request, Harry

able to make the trip in several weeks and that alone
was reason for feeling good about it all When he
arrived at the Field office the rest of the boys
out for lunch Harry had the situation we'll in
hand.
He rolled up his sleeves, put apron to keep
the ink away from his white shirt unlocked the trunk
of his and reached for the form . His arms
wouldn't quite reach where Pat had placed the ad
harry discarded his happy expression and came back
to Tabor City The ad right where Pat had
put it - in the back of the Tribune shop.
None of had nerve enough to ask Harry if he
enjoyed the second round trip to Conway.

proved the Lighting project; however,
they played fair to give the incoming
officials chance to voice their opin-
ions.
The lighting in our business district
has been inadequate for a long time.
Now is the time to brighten the APP
pearance of the town. Mr.. Leamon,
Carolina Power AMI Light Company of
fetal, told the Board that immediate
approval of the new lights would make
it possible for them to be installed
before tobacco season.
We appreciate the attitude of Mr..
Leamon and his desire to help our
community shows the kind of spirit
that has helped us grow.
Next year won't be too late because
the need will still exist but we hope
the Board will not hesitate that long.

PARASITIC State e-Depart-
ment-sponsored "Salut a la
France" is enjoying fantastic
acclaim. The exhibition of 18th
century French masterpieces
loaned by American collectors
is such a hit that it is impos-
sible to view it without waiting
in line outside for at least an
hour or as many as five.
AS the title implies. there
are nothing but masterpieces,
works of Cezanne, Corot,
David, Degas, Gauguin, Van
Gogh, Ingre, Manet, Monet.
Renoir. and Toulouse-Lautrec.
This explains to some extent
its great popularity. but the
fact that many canvasSes were
whisked out of the country
practically before the paint
was dry, not to be seen in
France until now, could be
another good reason.
Among contributors were the
Edward G. RobinsonS, David
Rockefeller, Mrs. Potter Palm
er of Chicago, Charles Laugh
ton and the Smith College
Museum of Modern Art, but
this list is no more complete
than the list of artists.
Financial support has been
equally luxuriant. The heavy
expense of gathering and send
ing the collection across the
Atlantic was met by private
funds in America; expenses on
this side are being met by the
French Government and pri-
vate citizens. 1t would be hard
to imagine more brilliant and
happy success.
Whom the French Deride -.
When Parisians aren't talk
ing about that art show they're
laughing about Bao Dai. In a
cartoon the French have the
heavy betting mperor of
Indo-China seated beside a
gaming table at Cannes. He
holds the hoe croupiers use to
scoop up chips and is pictured
as saying, "Ah well, at least I
know another trade"
1t is difficult to know
whether or not the French
like or dislike their objects of
derision. Charlie Chaplin has
remarked, Il don't think the
French like me very much
because they never say any
thing bad about me and that's
a sure sign of popularity in
France" Actually they adore
Chariot" but he is a sort of
sacred cow and above teasing
as is Gen. Alfred M. Gruen-
ther. SHAPES commander is
never scathed and any jokes
about the witty and amiable
general are made by Gruen-
ther, like the time he cast
asperSions on his marksman-
ship. which isn't as bad as he
pretends. An inferiority COM
pleX on the subject undoubt-
edly springs from the fact
that he is the father of an
Olympic mes shooting
champion.

To Investigate Gas
Prices in Stute

HELENA - Gasoline prices in
Montana are to be investigated by
the Montana Trade Commission as
result of $4,000 appropriation
that was approved Tuesday by
Governor j. Hugo Aronson.
Rep. Lee Schumacher (D-Phil-
lips) authored the bill and charged
that gasoline prices in Montana
"are discriminatory and unfair"
Charge is that Montana gasoline
producing state, has gasoline prices
higher than such states as Iowa
where this resource is lacking.
The Schumacher bill states that
the appropriation will be 'for the
purpose of investigating the pre-
vailing methods of fixing prices in
the marketing of gasoline to
determine whether such price fix
ing methods are in violation of the
constitution and statutes of Mon
tana, and shall cause to be prose-
cuted, by civil or criminal actions
and such violations"
The bill went into immediate
effect with the governors sigma
ture. The trade commission has the
power to conduct hearings, SUBJ
