Hill Directory Co., Tiu ., Publishers INTRODUCTION AND ;lll:. GENERAL INDEX mP 'li'i HILL DIRECTORY CO., publishers of Southeastern Direc- tories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1959 edition of the Fuquay Springs and Varina City Directory, which also includes the rural routes emanating from the Fuquay Springs and Varina Post Offices. This is the first Hill Directory of Fuquay Springs and Varina, and is completely standardized according to the poli- cies and practices of the Association of North American Direc- tory Publishers. Confidence in the growth of Fuquay Springs and Varina's industry, population and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be maintained as sections of this Directory are consulted, for the Directory is a mirror truly reflecting Fuquay Springs and Varina to the world. The enviable position occupied by Hill's Directories in the estimation of the public, has been established by rendering the M best in Directory service. With an unrivaled organization, and having had the courteous and hearty cooperation of the busi- ness and professional men and residents, the publishers feel that the result of their labors will meet with the approval of every user, and the Fuquay Springs and Varina Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertam- ing to the community. Four Major Departments The four major departments are arranged in the following order: — I. THE YELLOW PAGES constitute the first major depart- ment of the Directory. This embraces a complete list of the names and addresses of the business and professional con- cerns of Fuquay Springs and Varina, arranged in alphabetical order under appropriate headings—a catalog of all the activ- ities of Fuquay Springs and Varina. Preceding this catalog, appropriate headings, are the adver- likewise grouped under <• tisements and business cards of firms and individuals desir- ing to present a more complete list of their products or services til than is possible in the catalog itself. The Yellow Pages repre- sent reference advertising at its best, and merit the attention of all buyers and sellers seeking sources of supply or markets for goods. In progressive communities like Fuquay Springs and Varina, the necessity of having this kind of information up-to-date and always immediately available, is obvious. The Directory is the common intermediary between buyer and seller, and plays an important role in the daily activities of the commercial, industrial and professional world. II. THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is the second major de- partment, printed on white paper. This is the only record in ex- istence that aims to show the name, marital status, occupa- viii INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX tion and address of each adult resident of Fuquay Springs and Varina, and on the Fuquay Springs and Varina :'ural routes, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the community. III. THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUD- ING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, is the third major de- partment, printed on green paper. In this section the num- bered streets are arranged in numerical order, followed by the named streets in alphabetical order; the numbers of the resi- dences and business concerns are arranged in numerical order under the name of each street, and the names of the household- ers and concerns are placed opposite the numbers. The names of the intersecting streets appear at their respective crossing points on each street. Special features of this section are the designation of tenant-owned homes and the designation of homes and places of business having telephones. IV. THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY is the fourth major department, printed on blue paper. Community Publicity The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the community, depicting in unbiased terms what it has to of- fer as a place of residence, as a business location, as a manu- facturing site and as an educational center. To broadcast this information, the publishers have placed copies of this issue of the Directory in Directory Libraries, where they are readily available for free public reference, and serve as a perpetual and reliable advertisements of Fuquay Springs and Varina. There are more than 700 of these Directory Libraries, installed and maintained in the chief cities of the U. S. and Canada through the courtesy of members of the Association of North American Directory Publishers, under whose supervision the system is operated and of which Hill Directory Co., Inc. is a member. The publishers appreciatively acknowledge the recogni- tion by those progressive business and professional men who have demonstrated their confidence in the City Directory as an advertising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.

  • Legitimacy and the Celebrity Single-Issue Candidate
    Legitimacy and the celebrity single-issue candidate While news coverage of General Elections can be argued to ‘crowd out’ other topics of public interest in the public sphere, some saw the election as an opportunity to attract publicity to a cause. The artist Bob and Roberta Smith stood in Michael Gove’s Surrey Heath constituency in protest at the coalition’s changes to the education curriculum downgrading the importance of art, while the comedian Al Murray’s ‘Pub Landlord’ candidacy in South Thanet was presented, perhaps more ambiguously, as a satirical criticism of fellow candidate Nigel Farage (the initials of Murray’s ‘Free United Kingdom Party’ (FUKP) illustrating the blunt nature of any ironical intent). Murray’s manifesto pledged to brick up the channel tunnel using British bricks and Polish workers; Smith’s platform was built around placing art at the centre of the curriculum. Towards the end of the campaign, and notwithstanding the final outcome, legitimacy - in the sense of the various potential parliamentary combinations of the main parties - became a key media topic. To what extent was the legitimacy of candidates such as Murray and Smith questioned? Mainstream media coverage of Smith was limited, but some supportive niche media emphasised his artist-activist credentials. This is perhaps partly due to the ‘safe’ seat he was contesting, which was never likely to change hands; he could not be argued to be disrupting ‘legitimate’ electoral politics. The campaign was also constructed around a positive, niche single issue - the importance of art education both culturally and in economic terms - which could be treated by other candidates and the media as a legitimate (but marginal) topic.

  • Talkin' 'Bout a Revolution
    1 Overview of talk We are not doing a comedy sketch we are doing a talk about politics which revolves around comedians Why are comedians like Brand & Grillo (or Dieudonné) capturing a political mood, in a way that pop stars would have done years ago? 2 Dieudonné Anelka doing the quenelle 3 The context, the background to our talk, is crisis. Or rather crises (plural). We currently face a set of intersecting crises. These include: 4 Economic crisis. Starting with the fi nancial crisis of 2007/08, which has generalised into a more or less global economic crisis – so-called Great Recession. Widening inequality: the top 1% increasingly living like sun gods, whilst for a rising proportion of the rest of us what Ed Miliband has been calling “the cost of living crisis” and what others have described as a crisis of social reproduction. That is, a crisis in our abilities to meet our need, to survive, and, increasingly, a crisis in our ability to imagine a better future, to hope. 5 Climate crisis 6 Energy crisis – these are the Alberta tar sands 7 Finally, there exists a crisis of political legitimacy, even a crisis of democracy. Plebgate is actually a rather minor chapter in this story. (No duck ponds or subscriptions to porn channels paid for by the taxpayer. No deaths in police custody or undercover offi cers fathering children by the women they’re spying on. No hacking into the phones of murdered school girls.) But what’s interesting about it is that it involves three major institutions or sets of actors: politicians, police and the Fourth Estate, the media.
