Speaker Rayburn said Secre-

Mr.. Rayburn summed UP the

fashion:
I'VE talked up one side and

There were no definite con-

American view" that sanctions
should not be applied against
Israel without being used against
larger powers like the Soviet
Union and India, which are also
defying United Nations resolu-

There is no place in foreign
policy for politics." Senator
johnson said. He repeated that
he is utterly opposed to eco

He was not seen again. An ex-
tensive police investigation
failed to shed any light on his
disappearance, although other
Trujillo foes were quick to
claim Trujillo had a hand in it.
This the Trujillo government has
repeatedly denied.
1t was not until Murphy be-
gan to talk that the picture OF
events began to emerge-and
then only after the 23-year-old
pilot himself had disappeared
early in December.
Murphy had become friendly

W. f. Hughes Has Served
Roanoke More Than Sixty
Eight Consecutive Years

SiOup.
To even list the places
where Mr.. Hughes set tile or
built mantles would take quite
a bit of listing. Suffice it to
say that he has worked in al
most every prominent home
in this part of the state, Blue
field included. Such places as
N&W Big Offices, the old OPP
ra House, the Fishburne
home, the Catholic Church,
where his name is enlaid at
the foot of the cross on the
west side OF the steeple; and
First Baptist Church, Rev.
A. L. James, pastor; where
he laid the tile walk in the
vestibule with scrap" tile.
Nearly every home of any
prominence had him in to set
tile or mantle.
Because he wanted to pro-
gress, he went into business
with a partner, who looked
after it, while he continued to
work. He is the oldest under
taker in the city and although
his is. not the first, it is the
oldest burial establishment in
the Star City. His business
grew out of an earlier bust
ness (the first undertaking
establishment which was
owned by w. K. Parker. MIR.
Hughes went into partner
ship with James II. Paige,
and bought out w. r. Parker
approximately SO years ago.
Several years later, his part
ner, J. H. Paige, left Roa-
noke, leaving the company in

I $4,000. Mr.. Hughes states
that at that time he was con-
fronted with 13 creditors in
, court who were seeking to get
judgement and bankrupt his
, business. He states that he
accepted all of the indebted
ness and asked for time in
which to pay his creditors.
The presiding jurist, Judge
Robertson, granted his request
and in less than four years,
he had paid off every credi-
tor. y

to the front door of one very
wealthy family of Roanoke,

Few things are more in
teresting than the tales of
yesteryear, as told by an old
timer. This week, it was my
pleasure to interview one of
the oldest and best loved citi-
zens of this town, Mr.. Warner
Franklin Going It'') Hughes,
ex-mantle and tile sitter, and
presently, mortician director
of Hughes Funeral Home.
Peraps you cannot associate
him with the names which
l gave. In speaking of him
to friends they would invari-
ably call him ding 1t"
Hughes.
The expression ding It"
was one Of his favorites, and
so, he came to be known as
Ding 1t Hughes"
Mr.. Hughes came to Roa-
noke from Milton and Reeds
vile, N. c., more than 65
years ago. His wife was the
late Sarah Lknpkins Hughes
of MartmsviAe, Va, whom he
married at an early age. To
that union was born six chill
drsn: Delmonico, now of Phil
adelphia; Alphonso (Monk),
of Roanoke; twin girls, Mrs.
Willie Mccoy of Philadelphia
and Mrs. Lizzie Law of Roa-
ndke; Mrs. Christine Maynor,
RoaReke; and Mrs. Aurelia
Galbraith of Philadelphia.
Mrs. Hughes passed away
June 20, 1854. Although Mr..
Hughes had very little school
ing in his day, he believes in
education and sent all of his
children to school, most Of
them finishing with a degree,
trade or profession. Mrs.
Christine Maynor, one daugh-
ter, has been, for some years,
a licensed embalmer since
1919. Mr.. Hughes had a birth
day February 18th, was 81
years young this week, and
is happy to state that he is
the grandfather of Is, and
the great grandfather of 10
children.
When Ding It Hughes"
came to Roanoke, he was one
of the finest mantle, tile and
mosaic settlers in this part of
the city. He worked with con-
struction companies and al
ways served as foreman Of his

came to the back door, stat
ing that mo Negroes were
allowed to come to her front
door," In reply he stated that
he always went to the front
door of anyones' home, feel
ing the safer for it. With the
lady refusing to admit him
through the front door, and
his refusing to go around to
the back one, he left. The
company president called the
husband of the lady, telling
him that Hughes was his best
workman and that if he really
wanted a mantle correctly
built, Hughes would have to
do it. So, the husband came
by, picked up Hughes, car
ried him to his home, Center
ing the front door, incident
ly), and instructed him to
build the mantle. The lady
of the house was not seen un-
til its completion; but when
she was called in by her hus-
band to look at it, she was so
pleased that she gave Mr..
Hughes a So goldpiece as a
tip. Several years later that
family moved to a larger
house and no one could build
mantles or set tile for that
same little lady but Hughes.
This diminutive gent, who
is more than an octeganarian,
confesses that he never liked
school and can do very little
with reading, writing and
'rithmetic; but he can figure
a shovelful, on how
much cement it takes to set
a job. Another of his skills
was that of being an accurate
shot. He tells how the head
mistress of Hollins College
once wanted rs quail for a
luncheon two days later. He
walked Is miles to Rocky Mt.
one evening, got out his shot
gun next morning, shot the
rs quail and returned them
to Hollins.
He owns one of the modern
ly equipped funeral establish
ments of this city. His daugh-
ter, Mrs. Christine H. May
nor and his son Alphonso
(Monk), assist in the bust
ness which is located on
GainSboro Road.
l have only touched upon
the exploits of this fine citi-
zen. If you would really like
to know what it was like to
have been a resident of Roa-
noke in the early years, talk
to Mr.. ding 1t Hughes.
He is truly an interesting, as
well as, lovable character. l
it would be worth
your while to listen to him
rather than trying to talk
to him. He is rich in folk lore
and Renaissance of yester-
wear.
