THE MAN ,WHO invented the hole in the doughnut really had the secret to food conservation.. Neighborhood News * * * * EBB AND FLOW OF FOLKS YOU KNOW By The Way Not only has this column been neglected for the past few weeks, but so has every thing else except my work, which has kept me busy to the extent of not even having time to work crossword puz zles in the New York Times. However, my faithful puzzle friends, Francis Baxter, Ikey Blalock and Coke Dickert, con tinue to bring in a completed puzzle from time to time, and the latest one certainly looks like a hard one to me. Just went down to Johnnie’s to get a New York Times, so I’U see if they get a star on their re port cards again. During the weeks this col umn wasn’t written, I saw so many things and thought of so many things I wanted to write about, but now that I sit down to it, not even one of them will come to mind. I have been to places I’d never been to before, and even to places I’d never heard of be fore. When I had orders to go to Columbus, N. C., I was sure there had been a mistake; that it should have been Geor gia instead of North Carolina, but after checking the road map, I found it. Not only does Columbus, North Carolina, ex ist, but it is the county seat of Polk county, and is located in the mountains about five miles from Tryon. It is really an odd looking place. Of course we are all accustomed to see ing little villages with two of three general stores on a road—that is the way Colum bus looks, except over to the side, on a hill, stands the ra ther large and impressive look ing courthouse, dominating the remainder of the little town. I tried to find out how old the courthouse was, but could n’t find anyone who could tell me. From the outside, it re minded me a lot of Gildercrest, except that instead of round white columns, there were four tremendous white square col umns in the from of the build ing. The doors inside the build ing carried familiar titles— clerk of court, road commis sioner, county agent; but there was little activity in the old courthouse, and I think the sight of all of us “furriners,” gathered there for a hearing before the National Labor Re lations Board, was something of an unusual scene to the lo cal citizens. At this type of labor hear ing the officiating “judge” is known as a hearing officer, and the particular hearing of ficer assigned to the Columbus case, and to a case in Ashe ville, which I reported to the day before, was from Mon tana. He spent all of his time raving about the beauties of Montana. , the majestic moun tains, etc., but before leaving Asheville, and surrounding ter ritory, he had to grudgingly admit that the South also is beautiful, although of COURSE not as beautiful as Montana. An interesting thing about traveling in different states to attend these hearings is that you never know who or what you’re going to run into. I really doubted that there would be anyone in Columbus—but during a recess one of the gen tlemen there walked up and said, “I think you’re a rela tive of mine.” (Incidentally, he wasn’t a native of Columbus, but of High Point, N. C.). Af ter talking awhile, I found that he had married an Arm- field from High Point and we were on the point of establish ing a definite kinship when the hearing officer called the meet ing to order. After I got home I dug out the family history and found that his wife’s fam ily and Dad’s were descendants of the same son of the original John Armfield who came to this country in early 1700. So —you never can tell who or what you’ll run into. I have been wanting to take a look at the new community center, to have a look-see for myself, and to report to the others who havent seen it just what has been done, but as yet I haven’t managed to be in town when it was open for some event. I noticed tonight, though, that new ironwork railing had been put up across the porch and the stairs, and it adds so much to the charm of the magnificent old build ing. When plans for the land scaping around the courthouse are completed, it should be a beauty spot. I couldn’t help but think of a column I wrote sometime last year, when I was in Rock Hill recently. My hotel was di rectly across from the Federal Building, and the first thing I noticed was a ragged, tatter ed flag waving above the Post Office. Shortly after I return ed to Newberry, a member of the city police force asked me if I had noticed the flag on the courthouse square recently— and because I had been in town so little, I hadn’t. When I did see it next, I was sur prised to find how quickly the winds and rains can cause de terioration, because it hardly seems a year since that flag REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Newberry Claude WV Cromer to Richard E.

Johnston of South Carolina announced today that the Post Office Committees of both House and Senate had voted to limit commemorative stamps to not /nore than 12 issues a year. , The committee, he said, have adopted a resolution not to consider any pending or fu ture bill for special stamps but to leave these to be select ed by the postmasted general. The Republican eightieth Con gress passed nineteen bills au thorizing stamps to honor all sorts of odd subjects, from chic kens to local holidays. HIKE ENDORSED STATE GAS TAX Columbia, Apr. 27. — The State Senate Highways Com mittee approved today a one- cent increase in the six-cents- a-gallon state gasoline tax.
