Then with full military honors,
amid the booming of guns, the
remains will be placed in two
crypts at one side of the tomb of
the Unknown Soldier. On the
granite slab that seals the tomb
of World War II hero will be
the simple inscription "1941-

Like the first unknown soldier
buried at Arlington Cemetery,
the identities of the two new
unknowns will always remain a
secret. They were chosen from
all the unidentified dead who
were killed in the European and
Pacific campaigns of World War
II and in Korea. They could be
soldiers, sailors, marines, pilots
or coastguardsmen. No one will
ever know, but this does not mat

the tomb of the Unknown soldier
with deeper emotions than ever

family that did not have some
loved one, relative or friend, in

WORLD OUTDOORS

l@&FFFN@ TEAgN>

THE doctors of our country
L would not be so overworked if
more people would take up some
form of activity in the world out
doors.
This is not to say that fresh air
will cure disease or that a walk
in the woodlands will chase away
rheumatism. It's not that simple,
The facts are that our way Of
life, while it is a good one, also
has its drawbacks. To begin
with, the leisure time that is a
part of our modern civilization
is both blessing and a danger
in disguise.
Many use their leisure time
well, devoting it to hobbies or
sports activities which offer both
exercise and a needed change Of
pace for the mind and body.
Others occupy this time by simply
doing nothing, with the result that
the body does not get the exercise
1t needs to keep it perking eff
ficiently.
Some experts contend that we
are becoming a nation Of "Over-
weights" because of the soft life
that we lead. We're slow to push
ourselves away from the table
and often not inclined to get the
exercise we need to keep down
the avOirdupois.
All Of this, Of course, refers to
the white collar" set. A few peo-
pie In this economy Of ours stfn
have jobs that call for physical
exerton. For these, leisure time
Is a needed time for relaxation.
But the world outdoors has some
thing to give to everyone. 1t offers
no panacea, only strong medicine
for the mind and body. In this
season, the game may be golf, or
the more strenuous tennis; the
sports Of fishing, boating, or water
skiing; hiking, tennis, an after.
noon walk in the sun, and even.
bird watching.

Mr.. Rollman said in an inter

Election Laws, which / have stud
led carefully for many years, can
certainly be classified as the fin
est in the country. These election
laws require candidates who are
in the Primary races to publish
an exact accounting of all monieE
received, of all monies, spent, and
how and for what purpose these
monies were spent.
All candidates are required by
the North Carolina Election Laws
to file this statement on or before
May 81 with Thad Eure, Secre-
tary of State for North Carolina.
The return has to be filed under
oath by the candidates.
Mr.. Rollman went on to say:
Il greatly welcome the oppor-
tunfty to publish all figures relat-
ing to my campaign.
Il announced for the first time
my candidacy October /, 1857,
and between October and De-

 Postmaster General Arthur E.. Summerfield announced the pro- posed advance in early October. He estimated the department was handling parcel post at a loss of 88 million dollars a year.
 Postal officials said the propos- als submitted today would bring in about $88.8 million more an- nually.
