Strange, who is expected to return to Danville later this year to enter dental practice, has been cited at the University of North Carolina as the senior student demonstrating the most progress in four years of dental school.

As a result of talks with people around the state, the governor said his respect for Vir guiians has deepened. "In the span of a very few! years, they have managed toi survive an overturn of their social way of life, of the way they have always operated their public schools, and of their qualifications to vote," Godwin said.

"Some of our people thought for a while that they could have their cake and eat it too," he said, for a period of time, some of them came pretty close to doing it.
