Along with the airlift of gees, the Navy's helicopter rescue of persons stranded over the countryside continued at the rate of about 1,000 a day.

In case Ellen cannot hypnotize her, she can be supplanted by two other USC students, Bill Hillinck, 21, and Paige Bovee, 19, who appeared on the show last week.

What does she favorite sports: boating, fishing and swimming. At one point, he gave in temporarily to the handicap. He had to drop out of college for a year and a half. When his left eye had been destroyed in 1923, he still had vision in his right eye. But this began to fail from sympathetic ophthalmia while he was still in high school here.

But his parents, Dr. and Mrs. George L. Weeks, helped him along by reading his lessons to him and providing tutors for his Latin and algebra lessons. In 1929, the condition affecting his right eye had been almost arrested, but a second accident dam aged it further.

That summer he was motor boating on the Pamlico river when the water pump on the motor stopped working. While he was attempting to repair it, the tool he was using slipped and struck in the eye. In the fall of that year, he enter. ed the University of North Carolina as a freshman, but by the end 1 of the semester his sight had dimmed so much that he had to drop out. During the year and a half that he was away from school, he underwent extensive surgery in effort by physicians to correct tale eye.

While he was in the hospital his father died, and it is believed that the son's tears of: grief inter ferred with the operations, rendering the eye irreparable. After his father's death, Cameron made up his mind to go back to school and study to become a lawyer, "come what may." He entered academic school, and his roommate, L. H. Fountain, who now represents North Carolina's Second Congressional' District, served as his reader. Later, other fellow students read his les sons to him.

By attending classes the year round, Weeks completed his academic work and law school, which normally would take years, in four and a half years. He received his LL.B in 1936. While at the university he helped to organize the first Young Democrats Club on the campus and served as its first president. After leaving, the university, he took his state bar exam and was one of the who passed the exam out of 108 who took it. He returned to Tarboro a and began practicing law.

In 1940, he became associated with Oliver DeWitt Mann, of Whitakers. The partnership dissolved in 1942 when Mann entered the armed forces. Weeks had been appointed vice recorder of the Edgecombe County court in 1937, when he was just 26 years of age. In 1940, he won the nomination in the May primary for the State House of Representatives. The following November he was elected at the age of 29.

He served only one term. In 1941, the Edgecombe County Board of Commissioners appointed him solicitor for the County corder's Court. He served one year and then was appointed county judge in April, 1942. While serving as a representative in the Legislature, he had introduced a bill which provided for the offices of solicitor and judge to be elective in Edgecombe. So.

after his appointment to the judgeship in April, 1942, he successfully for election the following November. In 1944, he ran for Congress against Second District Rep. John H. Kerr. Weeks was defeated by a vote of 14.000 to 12,000.

He had given up his position as county judge, so after his defeat by Rep: Kerr he practiced law until 1952. SELECTED DIm Week End Specials 10 lbs. White Potatoes 29c in presenting gifts to Mrs. Moore. There was no word on what they were.

WEEKS In April, 1923, 12-year-old eron S. Weeks, of Tarboro, was recovering from a case of scarlet fever. The first time he was able to leave the house he sought relief from his cooped-up mood by exploding cartridges in this somewhat unorthodox manner. After discharging half a dozen bullets "just to hear them pop," the next shell backfired and struck him in the left eye, rendering it sightless. This injury, along with a later accident eventually led to a handicap which promised not only perpetual boredom but a dismal future as well: Total blindness.

But the driving force of this energetic young man did not allow him to submit to such a fate. Today, Cameron S. Weeks is counted among Eastern North Carolina's more successful lawyers; as one of the representatives of North Carolina's Fourth Senatorial Disthe State Legislature, he is a widely -known lawmaker; legislative bills he introduced have led to far-reaching changes in the State statute books.

Pepsi Cola's Saturday Sasser's Supermarket Hammond Street Extension Over River Bridge In that year he was elected to his first term elected in the State Senate.

He was re to that post in 1954. When he went to the Legislature in 1940, Weeks was named chairman of the House Committee on Institutions for the Blind. He was the only freshman in the House serving as a committee chairman. He also served on a number of other committees during that term. Senator Weeks introduced some of his most important legislation during the 1955 session.

He introduced bill that led to the revamping of the North Carolina's judicial sel-up. When the bill became law, it provided for the redistricting of the state into 30 districts, instead previous 21, and for 32 regular superior court judges instead of 21. He also introduced a bill that led to the appointment of four special superior court judges in a addition to the 32 regular judges. Another new state law which had its origin in a bill introduced by Senator Weeks was the one which permits the Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court to call upon a retired Supreme Court justice to serve temporarily in the event of the absence an incum-1 justice. Previously, retired justices could be called upon to fill vacancies on superior court benches.

the most responsible positions he has held, the senator says, is that on the State Judicial Council, which charged with the duty of making a continuous study of the state's laws in view of improving them. In spite of his handicap of blindness, Senator Weeks has a highly successful law practice here. He handles cases not only in the lower courts but also in the Supreme Court and in Federal Courts. His law partner is T. Chan Muse, a 1949 graduate of Wake Forest College.

They became partners in 1952, An example of his full schedule can be seen by a glance at the calendar set. for. the current three weeks of superior court in Edgecombe. He has 60 criminal cases calendared for the three terms. A constant companion to the senator is his attractive wife, the former Miss Glennes Worthen Dodge, of Boston, and Southern Pines.

He met her while both were students at the university. They were married in Hillsboro on December 18, 1935. They have one adopted son, Ronald, 9. Mrs. Weeks is always at her husband's side both on Capitol Hill and in the courtrooms during his private practice.

The outstanding accomplishments this amiable lawyer-senator-sportsman hats achieved in a world which he cannot see should serve as a shining example to all young people whose futures appear dimmed by some seemingly insurmountable handicap.

The Cabinet authorized him to seek a vote of confidence perhaps on Monday after four Gaullist ministers refused to go along with his program and were forced out.

His plan is four fold: ouster of Sultan Mohammed Ben Moulay Arafa, hated by the Moroccan nationalists; his replacement by a three-man regency: formation of a new Moroccan government that would include nationalists; and negotiation of a new accord between France and her protectorate that would give Moroccans something to say about how they are governed.

So far only the first step, shelving of the Sultan to retirement in Tangier, has been accomplished. Two members of the regency have been named, but the resident general has delayed naming the third. French rightists and many French residents in Morocco, bitterly opposed to concession's to the nationalists. have tried to block Faure's program. The latest outbreak of rebellion has been attributed to nationalist fears that Faure's agreement with them would never be carried out.

The Spanish government in Madrid last night denied French charges that some of the Moroccan rebels had come from the Spanish zone of Morocco.
