NIGHT STREET CARS

Bus service may soon be elm
mated on Woodward and Grand

order the operation of street cars
on municipal systems wherever
possible and ban parallel lines. "

wages of two-man street cars al
night. He was told to prepare a
more definite report and await a
federal ruling.

of election in North Carolina.
Senator Bailey has served Il
years and is regarded as one OF
the most outstanding men in the
senate.
An unofficial poll conducted
here this week, shows that local
voters are overwhelming in ia

I'm JESUS DAY"

During Jesus time, the people
were oppressed and exploited.
His country was in turmoil be-
cause political, economic, racial,
and religious groups clashed.
Hatred and cruelty were rife.
Such conditions led to Illustration,
despair, and fear of somebody
and something. Jesus opened the
way to freedom by asking men
to love God and man.
Each day, one should live as
the object of the Fathers affec-
ton and with His rule in the
heart.
For the love of God is broader,
Than the treasures of mans
mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully Kind"
'In His presence is fullness of
JOY"
