Wallace enjoys pesonal le
tters - both writing them and
reading those he receives from
friends and fans. He collects
original autographed letters of
famous men and women.
The author is 55. Wallace en
joys his friends, with whom
he keeps up long correspon
dences, and likes to play poker
and billiards, smoke a pipe,
take long walks and travel to
faraway.
He keeps pounding out copy on
his old Underwood typewriter,
and it seems extremely likely
that all will sell millions of
copies.
Recently, he was featured in
the Women’s Journal and it also
appears his name will continue
to be plastered all over the book
market.

Sponsored by the Forsvth
County Jaycees, the Forsyin
County Fair was highly succ
essful.
Between August 9-12, the fair
company was represented by
Diamond State Shows.
Chairman for the annual Jay
cee fair was David Carlisle.
Into the general funds, the
proceeds will be used to facl
liate the empty stocking fund,
the mental health program, the
heart fund and other contribu
tions to aid the county.
The Jaycees have purchased
the fairgrounds located just
off Castleberry Road. Several
projects have begun and the or
ganization has completed the
clearing of the property. They
have enlarged and graded the
area. Also the parking lot has
been enlarged and graveled.
One building has been built
for Jaycee use on the proper

Future plans are to add more
buildings which will house local
exhibits that are important in
the growth of the community.
As the need arises, paving and
grading the property will be
added.
During the fair, the Jaycettes
played an important role in
assisting the Jaycees.
At this year’s fair, Mrs.
Jane Hainllne was chairman
of the fair’s concession stand.
The Jaycees and Jaycettes

Hagan further stated that
“the man who goes into our
streets in hopes of regulating,
directing, or controlling
human behavior must be
armed with more than a gun
and the ability to perform
mechanical movements in
response to a situation. Such
men as these engage in the
difficult, complex, and
important business of human
behavior. Their Intellectual
armament -■ so long restricted
to the minimum - must be no
less ■ than their physical
prowess and protection.”
