Lower-left clipping — Editorial Column, Western Carolina Tribune, Hendersonville, N.C., Nov. 20, 1947:

We have long rated Frank L. FitzSimons and Robert Lee Whitmire among the tops of Henderson County speakers. Audiences had the privilege of hearing both of them in Hendersonville during the past week. Both were veterans of World War I and both were at home in their roles the past week, the former delivering the memorial address at Armistice day ceremonies and the latter the address as a memorial to those who gave their lives in the last war, the bodies of some of whom are now being returned. Mr. FitzSimons had a three-fold remedy for safeguarding the United States while Mr. Whitmire laid down the teachings of Christ, the application of which by the world would bring lasting peace for this era and the ages to come. These were two very timely, thought-provoking addresses.
