The ceremony was to take place in the offices of the Na- tional Air Pollution Control Ad- ministration in the Research Triangle Park. The institutions joining in the program are North Carolina State Univer- sity, Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Under the consortium agree- ment, the universities will ex- pand their programs of jointly- sponsored seminars, workshops, student institutes, public meet- ings and technical services on pollution control. The institutions also will co- , operate in exchanging informa- tion, services and faculty mem- bers and will make their re- sources available to communi- ties, industries and citizen groups. In conjunction with the cere- mony at the Research Triangle Park, Secretary of Health, Edu- cation and Welfare Robert Finch was expected to release a statement in Washington de- claring the program a model in anti-pollution education which the Nixon administration. will seek to expand throughout the nation BIRTH REPORTED T.

It was able to remain open under the auspices of the Presbyterians and under a succession of presidents through the Civil War and on into Reconstruction ‘days as Concord Female Seminary. Simonton College In the early 1870s the financial pressures had become so great that it was put up for sale under a court order in 1872. The buyer was Roxana Simonton, wife of Robert Simonton, Statesville businessman and head of the Bank of Statesville. She paid $10,000 for it. The motive of the Simontons in buying the college seems to have been purely altruistic. to Save the institution for States- ville. It was hardly-a money- making institution. Nor is there any evidence that anyone was involved except the Simontons. [t was an indicidual effort The name was changed from Concord Female Seminary to Simonton College, a name it kept until seven years after the death of Robert Simonton. in 1876. Principal at first was Rev S. T. Martin, with'a faculty composed almost entirely of his own a including his son- in-law, J. Henry Hill. In 1875 Martin bike ff to Char- lotte and 1 a girls known teacher at the University of North Carolina and the man for whom the highest peak. in the Black Mountains is named The principal was Mrs. E. N Grant. Her assistant was her sister, Miss Margaret Mitchell Mrs, Grant remained as princi- pal until she died in early 1883, giving the college a stability it had not kriown- before. In 1917, a little over 40 years after they took charge, the name was changed to Mitchell College Even before Mrs. Grant's death the institution was in fi nancial difficulties avain. Rob- ert Simonton had died in early 1876, soon after Mrs. Grant had come to take charge. After his death his bank was found to have been financially unsound and litigation after litigation followed. In 1872 the college was ordered sold for $10,000 The Syndicate Ten Statesville men formed what they called the ‘‘syndi- cate,’’ a term in pepular usage then, put up $1,000-each and bought it. An attempt to broaden the base and have 50 men put up $200 each failed, and the syndicate went about trying to find a teacher. After con siderable unsuccessful negotia tions with-S. C.

Today, it is a description of Statesville _| College, copied_ from the Char- lotte Observer. “This school for girls and young ladies is owned and con- ducted by Mrs. Fannie Everett Walton, who took charge of the property September 10, 1883 under a lease and bought it the following year. : “The massive building itself, standing as it does atthe head of Broad Street_and overlooking it from a small knoll, is by far the most striking object that the town presents. It_ was erected by the Concord Presby: tery, and was first opened on the 5th of September, 1857, a8 a denominational college for the education of young ladies “ts first president was Prof John B. Tinsley, and it was conducted under different prin- cipals and with fluctuating suc- cess, according to the ideas first proposed in connection with it until after the late war, when, failing as 4 financial enterprise, it went to sale and was purchased by the late R F. Simonton of Statesville. “It won its first substantial success from "73 to 3, under the management of Mrs. Eliza- beth N. Grant and Miss Margaret Mitchell, daughters of the late Prof. Elisha Mitchell of the University; but in early 1883, Mrs. Grant died and the school closed “Mrs. Walton took charge of it some eight months later under inauspicious circumstances, its pupils having drifted off to other schools, but she addressed her- self to the work of rehabilitation with admirable courage and the first. year put the institution on a self-supporting basis.”’ —— al . -t¢ 3 @» NORTH CAROLINA Me —L } “ly fee TRAVEL AND PROMOTION DIVISION T OF CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPM RALEIGH DEPARTMEN ENT Mr. T.

( Patrick Photos) Former Minister Here Morris To Teach Course BOILING SPRINGS — Another step toward the establishment of a chair of Bible at Gardner-Webb College was taken with the announce- ment that a long-time North Carolina Baptist pastor, Rev. B. E. Morris, will teach a course at the college this semester. Thomas J. McGraw, execu- tive vice president and dean of the college, announced that Morris would teach a one-hour Course for credit each Wednes- day afternoon at 1 o’clock in the John R. Dover, Jr. Memorial Chapel. The first class will be held Sept. 12. In reference to the chair of Bible, Dr. E. Eugene Poston, president of the college, said that it is his hope that the chair can be fully endowed within the next three years. It cost $100,000 to endow a teaching chair at T can think of nothing that we need more at Gardner-Webb than an endowed professorship in Bible,” said Dr. Poston. “It would certainly be a great step in the future of the college if we could have an endowed chair of Bible and I am going to work hard toward that goal. “We do appreciate Mr. Mor- ris agreeing to take this added responsibility and I know that those who sit under him will be blessed by his teaching ~whe course, Religion 318, will deal with the material from the “Sermon on the Mount” with exposition of Matthew 5-7. It will be entitled, “Living Religion.”” Those wishing to Sign up for the course should Contact McGraw’s office before September 12. The course will be open to anyone who wishes to take it. The course is especially pointed toward religion majors at the college and others in full-time church positions in the churches throughout the area. “We consider this a commu- nity service and we invite anyone who wishes to take this course,’’ McGraw said. “We are very fortunate to get a person with the ability, experience and dedication of Mr. Morris to teach this course, I feel that this is a great step toward our even- taully establishing the chair of Bible.”’ Mr. Morris has some 60 years experience as a North Carolina pas . and educator.

Ps 4 ' x 4 ss, CAMERON MORRISON CITIZEN As Representative in the Halls of Congres Governor of North Carolina, United States Senator and Citiz Extraordinary, Cameron Morrison stands out as a mighty oak the forests of North Carolina statesmanship. This sturdy citizen has stood | a stonewall in that forest through many tempestuous storms. Through storms intensified by raging winds, shifting tides and, compromising positions, many public mén have been swept from their feet and the whole course of their lives changed over night. But not so ameron Morrison. He has refused to be blown and ished about by the shifting winds of popularity. He has elected always to remain at his post of duty, standing by his convictions and fighting for them at every turn of the road, even tho it often meant at the es of personal sacrifice to himaelf. x verdict: eee who would be con- sidered ‘a §ped all-round man’ at an Amer- ican university and would make the best fraternity on the campus, but some of his frat brothers would undoubtedly find him painfully exuberant at times. He gives the impression of being ‘a man’s man.’ The Bad News “Work or Want” said the Government’s billboards. Last week Herbert Morrison Deputy Prime Minister, grimly told the House of Commons that no matcer how hard Britons work, they will still want. In the next twelve months, he said, Britain must import $6.8 billion worth of goods, even to keep present austere s andaed of period Britain cannot hope o earn a exports more than $s billion. Even by using up the rest of the U.S, loan, Britain would end up in the red, And in less than a year, there would not even be the loan to fall back on. Slowly, with no trace of his cockney cockiness, Morrison, pale and ill at ease, took Britain to the edge of the abyss and made her look down. “If we cut imports too far,” he said, “great [ downward) ad- justments become necessary in our pro- duction and in our whole standard of living. But we cannot indefinitely go on importing what we cannot pay for, and I must tell the House quite frankly that it may come to this—and a tragically bad day it would be for us, for Europe, and for the world’s best hopes of pros- perity.” No More Dollars. Britons had known that they were badly off, but this blunt statement was a shocker, Wasn’t “The Loan” supposed to see them through the first five postwar years of reconstruction? What had gone wrong? By the first annjvetsary of the loan this week, Britain had spent 60% ($2.2 billion) of its $3.75 billion credit from the U.S. The money had gone far faster than anyone expected when the loan was negotiated. One reason was that, since then, U.S, wholesale commodity prices had risen about 30%. oe like oo 2 Hard-boiled and well-fed economists might contend that the British were wrong to spend much. money on food and tobacco, But even with the dollar food purchases, the British diet had remained on the thin line that divides discomfort from malnutrition.

His mother had warned him that he might as well learn, because he too might end up as a waiter, A great-great-grandson of Britain’s Vic toria; Philip Gliicksburg was born Island of Corfu on June 10, 1921. In 1863 his grandfather, Prince William of Den- mark, had become Greece’s King George I. Philip was sixth in line to the throne. But after Philip’s birth, his uncle. King Constantin, was tossed off the throne. Philip, his parents and his sisters* became exiles. With his family, Philip sailed to England, where his mother’s father, Prince Louis of Battenberg, had gained fame in the days before World War I as Britain’s First Lord of the Ad- miralty. From then on much of Philip life was spent visiting relatives. Philip favorite was his Uncle Dickie Pesth batten (the Battenbergs had Anglicized their German name during World War | In 1933 Philip went to a German at Salem, near the Lake of Constance. Every time he saw a Nazi salute he laughed; his nervous German relatives sent him back ‘to the Mountbattens in London, Philip never learned Greek or Danish, and at Gordonstoun, a public school near Elgin, Scotland, he became thoroughly British. "Pray, Sir,’ Said the Prince.. Unlike tradition-bound Eton and Harrow, Gor- donstoun, established in 1934 in a castle on the cliff-girt coast of Morayshire, bristled with progressive education. There aristocratic young Britons were taught to forget class distinctions and live like he- men. Every morning before breakfast they took Jong hikes, climbed hills or practiced javelin-throwing. In Elgin, they tell how one day Dick Clelland, the barber, lost his temper. Clelland, tired of having boys mess up his shop window with dirty fingers, rushed out, razor in hand, and kicked a boy who was waiting for a bus. Prince Philip turned and asked: “Pray, for what do I re- ceive this kick?” (At least, that Morayshiremen, who know how a Prince ought to talk, say Philip said.)
