Although the stoplight had changed color, the line of cars remained motionless while Viola Carr endeavored to start her j et-propelled Lincoln. The ,.....--..... thing is so old now that sometimes it won't do a thing right. l' J Policeman Tut Shumate left his conversation with patrolman Billy Thompson to ask Maxine Ennis in her helicopter to push the Q stalled auto into a vacant parking space. With a whirl of pro- D pellers Maxine did so, and we were once more on our way. l 1 Virginia pointed out the modern News Argus building, and i l we stopped in front of it to see if Alese Edgerton wantedf a lift. Alese refused saying that Virginia Carter and Lois Johnson were on their way over, but she gave us a copy of the night's paper. From its headlines I judged that Goldsboro was quite excited about last week's return visit of the star radio performer, Anna Frank fthe Strosnider dropped for pub- licity purposesl. The News Argus was now edited by Susie Coward and its cartoons drawn by Gerald Massengill. I found several interesting pieces of news. Eloise Balkcum has made her sec- ond tour of Europe singing for royalty in half its countries. Mayor Moon-Myron, that is-Ennis appeared last night on Tootsie Crocker and George Kannan's television program. Crocker and Kannan are a popular comedian team now. Elizabeth Garris will star in the ballet to be given in Raleigh soon. Anne Boyette is overseas with the state department. The paper said that Travis Rose has a good chance of winning the 1958 National Jitterbug Contest. If so, it will be for the third consecutive year. James Parker has been chosen basketball coach at the University of North Carolina. In the bottom corner of the page was an item saying that the Dix Hill population had been increased by one when psychiatrists examined Jim Evans. Evans was caught trying to shovel snow off Florida rooftops. Poor Jim! They'll miss him at Donald Pike's Wholesale Elephant Store. I noticed that one of the News Argus ads, a radio designed by David Holder, was endorsed by Bobby Hill. Bobby must be a big shot in the radio world. And Bo Kannan? Why, here was an announcement that the celebrated Clara Kannan is singing in Elbert Sill's night club this week. On the front page of the paper was a picture of John Thompson with the S5,000,000.03 he won last night at Caseyis Gambling House. Mr. Thompson is said to have figured out an ingenious method that hadn't lost yet. Go, John! We passed the traveling library truck driven by Hugh Pope with Louise Medlin as librarian. Catherine Strickland is in charge at the Wayne County Public Library now. Charlie Westbrook and Raymond Grey waved to us from where they were putting up campaign posters for John Kleinert for senator. Another even more unbelievable sign advertized Joe Bazemore's Dare-Devil Air Show with Erline Griffin, Queen,of the Air -also pilots Ashley Hopewell and Dan Ward. ' I called Virginia's attention to the Sign and she turned to look just as a green Dodge swung around the corner. It was Mimi Weil on her way to the J. X W. Brock Garage to have her brakes ... Z! Z checked. Virginia wasn't so quick at 9 3 .I -f- reaching the sidewalk this time, and A 'gig the two cars collided with a BANG! .-- A No casualties, though-except me. My ff, 5 px head hit the windshield and then M,-1'n5 Xho --ss everything seemed to spin around in circles. When things righted themselves, I found myself back in the locker room and it was 1948 again. There beside me stood Erline grinning impishly, the book she had just hit me with in her hand. I gathered up my belongings, looked at Ennie, and be- gan to laugh uproariously-not at her, but at the little idgit, Keeiix, perched there on her shoulder! Twenty-eight

the art staff. Mary Emma Hardy's third novel illustrated by Paul Carraway began its installments in this month's issue. An article by sportswriter Kennith Waters interviewed Evelyn Bar- X V' f bee, who will compete in this year's Olympics for the international ....--- swimming championship. McCalls feature story told of the X Met's greatest singer, Harvey Barwick. As the cab passed the Methodist Church, I saw a flash of if -5 red hair and on looking again, found that its owner was Janie Bartlette, wife of the minister. It has been said that her husband preaches to her on Sun- day, but that she preaches to him all the rest of the week. We stopped a moment and Janie told us something of the married folks. Jo Jackson lives in Memphis now, Molly Grady, in Arizona, Blanche West and Nona N Q Q U Grey Best, here in Goldsboro, Tommie Crocker, tu! lg 'U in New York, Frank Perry, in Wilmington, -NM 45 Sam Lynch, in Florida 5 and Ruth Edgerton, in 511 X I -you guessed it-Wake Forest. Oh, and I jg ,l x X6 mustn't forget-Eleanor Brown was married SX i last week for the third time. El and her latest husband will make their home in Neuse Park, the fashionable residential section out near Rouse Bridge Ca structure held up by supersonic cables and so divided that each vehicle is radium- ized, electronized, and re-atomized as it passes throughj. Acker Avenue, Eason Boule- vard, and Edwards Terrace are some of the streets in Neuse Park named for Golds- boro's three outstanding architects who designed the ultra-modern homes there. Oh, yes-and there's Eunie Drive for Eunice Bizzell who is an interior decorator now. From the cab, Center street appeared quite changed and I made Virginia drive slowly, so I could see everything. Jo Ann Flowers was walking up the steps of Charlie Crone's Law office, where she works as secretary. Dr. Modlin fDentistJ also has his office in the building. I hear that they do quite a bit of complaining about the noise upstairs. Could it be that they don't appreciate good tap dancing? The Best and Radford fLibby and Mildredb Tap Dancing School there is said to be one of the finest v in the nation. ... - 'S ...,. We let Lillian and Mary Ann out at the Opera Shoppe, run 3. by Betsy Peele. Bill Edwards was there. Yep, same old Bill! The nickelodeon was playing D. J. Rose's latest song X Ny ff hit, My Sweet Little Home Demonstration Agent, sung by J swoon king Carlton Frederick. A sign next-door proclaimed Gilda's ll 1 lm ff Gift Shop. Her two helpers, Zelda Potter ' ' Q and Mary Sykes, were busily arranging the in 3 window display, some of artist Lillie Smith's o M, animal sketches. f v Virginia pointed out a new building going up and said that it is ' 2 another in Lindy Saul's chain of drug stores. ' : I recognized lots of names on various signs down town. There I g were Howell and Worrell Furniture Company, Hamil's Butcher Shop, --------..' the Wilson Book Store, Sasser's Electrical Appliance Company, and Frances' Fashions. This last establishment is owned by Frances Myers, run by Frances Millard, and its stock, selected by Frances Fulghum. Whew, what a combination! Carolyn Lancaster operates a beauty salon. William Heeden is Fire Chief, with Fred Tyndall, Albert Pate, Tom Price, Nathan Ham, and Bill Summerlin firemen. When our taxi stopped for the light at Center and Walnut, we saw several familiar faces along the street. Ann Aycock, Wilma Ginn, and Martha Wise were shopping. Polly Combs had told them of an antique sale and the three hurried on their way without seeing us. Addie Pilkington seemed to be having a big argument with the dogcatcher, Bill Hart. She finally rescued her pooch and walked away to tell Billy Dove about it. Miss Hilton is a receptionist now. Twenty-seven
