Mrs. Gray pointed out that man has made the world one big neighborhood and now he must learn to live in it. Also, she stated, if we are to preserve the civilization we it learn to will be together. imperative live Every person, IS asserted, must realize his responsibilities, one of which is to believe that every man counts as an individual which is also the of Jesus Christ and the Brotherhood of Man.

The speaker concluded her speech by challenging her audience to build tomorrow's world because we are no longer isolated and this alone will necessitate our having a world viewpoint. The speaker was introduced by Miss M. Lawrence, Supervisor of Negro Elementary Schools in North Carolina and a native of this city. Also sharing the spot light on yesterday's program was the founder of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Mrs. Ethel Hedgeman Lyles, who organized the first chapter at Howard University in Washington, D.

Webb, under secretary of state, as a distinguished citizen of North Carolina, he added that since Webb went into the state department last year, popular confidence in that department well as concrete accomplishments had increased greatly. Then a bit later Webb paid high tribute to Capus Waynick, another Tar Heel, who has important place in the scheme things. (Incidentally rumors persist that Ambassador Waynick is soon to be transferred to some other diplomatic post, although why or where could not be ascertained.) Political exigency rather than recognition of merit must have influenced applause of the conference attendants.

Mention of Woodrow Wilson didn't get a ripple: reference to Franklin Roosevelt got a fair hand, but when Truman was lauded applause came from approximate- Folsom's Advice Demos Meeting RALEIGH, Jan. 30 The Rev. Edwin A. Penick, bishop of the Episcopal diocese of North Carolina, was waiting for the conference to be called to order and to make the opening prayer. A friend approached and asked if he had heard the story about the prescher called to pray for the legislature of Texas.

He termed the Raleigh session "the best Democratic meeting I ever attended outside a courthouse." He explained that he thought "courthouse meetings" constituted the best brand of democracy.

John Gold of Radford, Virginia, rose to ask a question and felt it necessary in order to gain recognition to say that he was not a member of the dominant political (Byrd anti Truman) faction in his state. Folsom lapsed into state vernacular when he asked one man who rose to ask a question "what county are you from?" That's normal procedure in a state convention, but slightly out of line for a multiple state meeting. Big Jim just forgot for a minute how a meeting he was exhamportant cept in size! Although every state except Louisiana was said to have representatives here, only two 0 governors from outside North Carolina and no member of congress except Tar Heels were on hand.

Secretary of Agriculture Brannan was given the last spot and was not time for questions about the farm policy.
