Chamber Honors
Several At 79th

The second annual Distinguished Citizen's Award was

made by Gomer R. Lesch to W.

his leadership in the "Keep
Greensboro Ahead" program
last year, and to Mrs. Ethel S.
Arnett for her work on "Greensboro, N. C, the County Seat of
Guilford." Huger S. King, president in 1955, awarded them
presidential citations.
