Through Tennessee's remote, mountainous Fentress County runs one modern paved road-the Alvin C. York Memorial Highway. On the highway at Jamestown, the county seat, stands one modern brick building-the Alvin C. York Agricultural Institute. Not in the Institute last week was its founder, Fentress County's beefy, red-headed first citizen. He sat in gloomy exile at his farm at Pall Mall, six miles away...
...winter by Sherwin-Williams Co. (paint). Basso Norman Cordon, a towering North Carolinian, was impressive as the ill-used father when he pronounced his curse on Rigoletto, did even better as the ludicrous circus manager in The Bartered Bride. In Rigoletto the swashbuckling assassin was Baritone John Gurney of Jamestown, N. Y., who took up music after Harvard Business School.

Smalltowner. For Robert Houghwout Jackson, 43, the Mellon hearings meant a maiden appearance in the national spotlight. He appeared to dislike it. Only last year his boyhood friend, Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau, plucked him from a prosperous but relatively obscure private & corporation practice in small Jamestown, N. Y. to be general counsel of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Shy, husky, genial, he likes to dance, ride over his farm near Jamestown, boat on Lake Chautauqua. To newshawks he protests: "I've never done anything. I'm just a country lawyer." But after two weeks of curt, pointed...
