A Raleigh newspaper in 1897 de-
voted a special edition to the
bicycle clubs and specially fash
IONS Tor women cyclists, saying
every woman in the city who
thinks she can make a graceful
picture on a bicycle is tryink it,
In the same edition the editor
rhymed:
ron the giddy's safety saddle
A girl may ride straddle
Without injuring her modest
reputation.
But if that way she rides her
boss
Her good name will suffer loss
And the people will rise with
rage and indignation"
Then there was the swanky
Manufacturers Club in Char
lotte, about which the Charlotte
Observer reporter wrote in 1901:
When the North Carolina
State Flag was flown yesterday
for the first time in front of il
thc Manufacturers Club, some
thought il was the weather flag
and some thought it was the
club colorS."
Also, there was the Whining

INVITATIONS TO DO
BUSINESS

A merchant advertises in a
newspaper that he will sell GER
tain described models of televi-
lsions at a stipulated price. A
customer visits the merchants
place of business on the date the
newspaper is published and dis
covers that the merchant has
several of these tclcviSion in
stock. The merchant is asking .
price far in excess of the adver-
tiScd price. May re customer
force the merchant to sell at the
advertised price or answer in
damages for breach of contract?
No. Although TIE merchant in
refusing To sell at the advertised
price may not be following d

his legal rights.
Advertisements in newspapers
and trade circulars are not nor

tract is formed by the statement

The advertisement is a means
of bringing the dealers mCrch-

tractual intent is manifested: an

North Carolina is world-fam-
ed for its many distinctive char
acteristics. The praises of its
beautiful women are sung from
mountain peak to sea wave. The
minds Of her statesmen have
helped to mold the history Of
the nation. Her literary geniuses
have commanded respect every
where, and the sensations OF the
state are never lacking and
startle the whole country.
Yet, one of the characteristics

/ Contstandem Rumley concurred
IN this nomination by making a
brilliant and laundering speach
IN behalf of these young men.
Mr.. Howard Cantshunem Bowen
rose with very deacon-like grav-
lily and moved that these gentle
men be made permanent officers
|. Mr.. Spencer rose with a
merry twinkle in his eye and
spoke in a most enthusiastic
manner:
Gentlemen and fellow suf-
ferers. l feel muchly elated and
highly honored and greatly agit-
ated to have this pleasure thrust
upon me, but / am resolved TO
let no occasion slip when / may
do aught to advance the good
cause in which we are about TO
enlist. The object of our coming
together on this suspicious oc-
caSion is To enter into a solemn
and secret compact, society for
the promotion of matrimony in
our midst. think you will
quickly, readily and willingly
observe the necessity for such a
club, or society, or order, when
| cali your attention to the fact
that we have 300 manageable
girls in our town and 293 mar
rlable men, and the likelihood is
that they are to remain in that
sad and undesirable condition
unless united and strong effort
is made by the young men of
the community 10 do something
towards cffecting a material
change. l had hoped with the
opportunities Of Leap Year that
the other sex would make some
advances along this line, but
know you all have been woe
fully disappointed. (Applause.)
Here Mr.. Spencer seemed
much wrought up and the ex-
preston on his face showed a
deep interest in his subject. He
closed his speech by singing
The gust of joy, the balm Of
woe. the sound of life, the heav-
en- below, is rapture-giving wo-
man Then he sat down amid
laundering applause. Mr.. John
Ncvcrgobackonem Hoyt moved
that every member present be
required TO subscribe TO the SEN
timcnt contained in the son
The motion prevailed.
The name of Calico Club was
adpotcd as fitting and appropri-
ate. At this point, DR.. David
TerrifiCdatCm Tayloe moved
that the club nominate other Of

subjects for the good of the

a furnace, water heater and
other facilities, and they found
they had to replace the entire
foundation.
They did the foundation job
in sections, using a steel beam and
two jacks. They would hold up
a section of the house by this
process while they pulled out the
old. unsafe stonework and re-
placed it with cinderblocks. The
stones were saved and later used
to build a retaining wall above
the driveway and parking place.
During the next winter, things
were pretty uncomfortable.
Though another early job had
been replacing most of the win
dows, they also had pulled down
most of the plaster. Cracks be-
tween the old wood siding were
so large that snow would sift
through, not to mention cold air
when the weather was clear.
They had only a small gas
heating stove and both men
found it necessary to buy elec-
trio blankets to keep warm at
night.
Replaced Roof
When weather was warm
enough to permit it, they also
worked during the winter on the
basement digging and founda-
ton.
By spring they had put a door
frame on the front, put up tar
paper and wire mesh and in June
of 1853 Mr.. Raeburn succeed
the front of the house. That
spring they also replaced the roof.
During the summer they
worked on the yard and contin-
ued preparing the outside for
stuccoing.
The next winter they put
beams in the ceiling of the liv-
ing room and the kitchen and
replaced the flooring in the upper
story.
Until this time all their work,
except for the indation, had

been concentrated on what they
call the front of the house, the
portion in the pictures to the
right of the pillars. During the
winter they decided to make the
house a duplex. They planned
it so it could be converted to a
one-family house by cutting two
doorways and recovering one
kitchen to a powder room.
Front Half Finished
BY April. 1854, they had COM
pleted the front half of the
place except for some details
like kitchen cabinet work and
trim.
That summer they added q
large brick terrace to the front
wing and then started to con-
centrate on the back wing
finishing the foundation work
there and replacing the roof.
In November they had the
front half of the house ready to
rent and moved into the back
wing. They had found tearing
out plaster and having it re-
placed had been so much of a
nuisance while living in the
front that they finished that
work in the back before making
the move.
From January. 1855, until last
May they rented the front half
of the house. which helped
financially.
During the spring and summer
of 1855 they added the porch
and pillars to the back wing,
brick-faced the outside wall I'M
der the porch. prepared the other
walls for stucco and built the
fireplace and chimney at the
end of the back wing. In addi-
ton. they completed work on
the stone retaining wall above
their driveway.
Last winter they cleaned up
details and built a brick terrace
and retaining wall behind the
back wing.
During the job they have had
the good wishes of their neigh

but at the same time are keep
ing on watch for an old house
with possibilities. Mr.. Griswold
thinks they are now much better
equipped to pick out one to work
on. @1e says:
We'll know better what to
look for this time. That founda-
ton work we had to do came as
a complete surprise after we had
bought this house."
But whether it's building a
house or rehabilitat-
ing an old one, Mr.. GriSwold

from them and, in the early
stages. they were sent many
meals by women in the neigh
borhood. Mr.. Griswold thinks
this was due in part to appre-
citation for their cleaning up an
island of deterioration in an
otherwise fine area.

TALLY completed, Mr.. Griswold
and Mr.. Apologize already are

Dance Will Help
 Nome Youth Go to TV Show in NY.

A Benefit Dance to pay the way of three talented teen-agers tc New York City will be held Sat urday evening at g pm. at the Nome School Auditorium.
 Music will be by the Arctic Combo, courtesy of the Boring Sea Club.
 Why send the lucky three con- testants to New York?
 They are to appear on " show on the CBS network, the Good Morning" show with Will Rogers Jr., as emcee, for the pur- pose of calling the attention of organiza lions which sponsor youth centers to the need of a youth center here since the USO left so suddenly last year.
 According to Sgt. Richard Aug ust, one of the active members on the committee which is working hard to raise the funls, the need of such a center increases for teen-agers as well as the many servicemen who pass through the Nome on their way to the ever-increasing number of sites in the area and also those service men who come here on leave from remote sites.
 There are many philanthropic organizations etc whom this TV show will be beamed that they may know the need and possibly supply the answer, stated August.
 The main thing, he said, is to get the young people to the show in time for the broadcast and that is what the committee of civic minded individuals is attempting to do.

US. Pilot Praises New Soviet Jet After Brief Ride

MOSCOW, R-'They've really got themselves an airplane," said pilot Gari Ketcham of Clifton, NJ, after hitching a ride on Rus sia's prize TU-104 jet passenger liner.
 Ketcham, two relief pilot on international runs, was the first American to get a brief spin in the plane which caused a sensa- tion when it appeared in London last month. Several Western re- porters previously had been ush- cred through the craft, however.
 Ketcham, 27, had read news paper accounts of the Soviet plane and came to Moscow determined to get look at it. Much to every ones surprise, he did.
 Ketcham went out to Vnukova Airport Wednesday and managed to talk his way onto the plane through pilot Boris Bugviev, whose friendship he had made hanging around the airport since he arrived.
 The Americans determination to get a look at the jetliner was publicized in Western newspapers and apparently caught the eye of Soviet officials. Otherwise it is doubtful he would have first got visa and second won himself a ride. Observers pointed out West-s erners rarely strike up casual with Soviet jet pilots.

U.N. Command Orders Supervisory Commission in South Korea to Halt
 Operations and Co to Neutral Zone

PANMUNJ OM, Korea, R-The JUN. Command today clipped the wings of the four-nation commis- sion supervising the Korean arm istice, charging the Communists have used 1t as a blind for an illegal buildup of arms in North Korea.
 Commission members were or dered to halt their operations in South Korea and pull back into the neutral zone.
 At the same time Britain dis closed the Is nations making up the JUN. Command, which is headed by the United States, have turned down a new proposal from Red China for a conference to unite Korea and withdraw foreign troops
 A British note dispatched to Peiping on behalf of the 16 said the Communist governments of China and North Korea have pro- vided no evidence of the good faith needed for such a confer ence to serve any useful pur- pose" and accused the Reds of frustrating any effective supervi- sion of the 1854 Geneva armistice agreement.
 North Korea countered with a broadcast from Pyongyang report ing it will discharge 8O,000 men from it's armed forces by Aug. 31 and calling on South Korea to fol- low suit. The Pyongyang radio said the reductions would speed 1 talks on unification.
 North Korea is estimated to have about 100000 soldiers of its own in uniform, in addition to the 1 many Red Chinese troops still in the country. South Korea has an army of about 100000 men.
 The Armistice Supervisory Com mission is made up of representa- tives of additionally neutral Swe- den and Switzerland and Commit mist Czechoslavakia and Poland.
 A blistering statement from the JUN. Command accused the North Koreans of armistice violations and said. the Czech and Polish members of the commission cov- cred up illegal Red activities.
