Keller and Rehablitation when nominated Once word came from the White House that he was acceptable, he was quickly nominated also by the American Labor Party, voceriferously New Deal group which poled about seventh of the state vote last year.
 On the labor front, American Federation of Labor state leaders lined up behind Governor Dewey and Senator Hanley. The CIO, anxious to try out It's new political action committees formed for 1944 took a stand with President Roosevelt and General Haskell.

TOP WAGES PAID

If you appreciate freedom from monOonous routine, and a chance to use your own initiative on the job, you should find automobile serv- ice work especially attractive. The pay is comparable to that in large industrial plants
 and there is an opportunity for ambitious men to make substantial extra earnings.

 At County Jail

Raymond Knapp, g, of Wa terbury was one of three pris- oners at the New Haven county jail who took advantage of an easy-going guard last night to make a neat jaiIbreak. Police in nine states are searching for the trio.
 The guard, Raymond Me- Grath, was under suspension today. It seems he had not been bOthering to lock the pris- Oners in their cells at night. Returning the favor, they used to ring the watchman's clock for him.
 This made the escape child's play. The men's absence was not even noticed until another guard relieved McGrath at midnight.

married, to Mrs. Martha P. Barton
and for the past % years they
have shared the joys and sorrows
of life together.
Brother Blevins was one of
Ashe county's most outstanding
citizens. He was a man, who not
only believed in the high ideals
of life, but put them into practice
and held them up as light to
others.
In early life he accepted Christ
as his personal saviour, and was
baptized into the fellowship of
the Baptist church, and soon after
began his life as great CO.
worker with Christ, his saviour.
In 1881 he was ordained to the
full gospel ministry, and for about
81 years he has been living,
preaching and teaching the gospel
of Jesus Christ. Truly he was one
of Gods servants, never faltering
in his duties, but always earnest
ly contending for the Faith once
delivered to the saints.
He served as pastor to churches
in Wilkes, Allegheny and Ashe
counties in N. c.. and Grayson,
Smith and other counties in Va.
His work has been widespread
and the good he has done will
never be known in this world,
only when we get home to heaven
will we ever know the great num-
Der of lives that have been made
happier by having had him as a
friend and preacher.
AS he went about doing good,
he carried with him bundle of
sunshine, and with his cheerful
disposition he made his way into
the hearts and lives Of his many
friends.
He will live long in the memory
Of his many friends, in fact he
will never die, as he said to
number of his loved ones, "I will
not die, my body will die that is
true, but 1 will not die, some Sun
day morning I will just fly away
home" 1t is remarkable to know
that this was true, for on Sun
morning, October II, his spirit
took its flight
To that home eternal,
Just out beyond the blue,
That blessed land supernal,
Where he waits for me and
you.

w. E. Denny.

IN MEMORIAM
ELLA BARKER STURGILL

Ella Barker Sturgill was born
June Is, 1907. Into this world of
troubles and war, it was then on
earth her life began. On Sep
TENDER 80, 1913, God called her to
go to meet her two children dear
that had gone on before
And she has left a husband and
three children here. We know
they miss her more and more.
Her years on earth were SO,
She fought tn m bravely
through;
She's now with loved ones up in
heaven,
Dear husband and children,
prepare to go there, too.
Children, mother has gone away,
You'll miss her presence here,
But trust in Jesus day by day,
And again you'll be with Mo-
Their, dear.
She was our sister here, but
death has come
And God has taken her away.
We often visited her in her home,
Now we miss her more every
day.
She was to us a sister dear,
In sickness and in need.
And we miss her presence here,
For she was a friend indeed.
But since her spirit has taken
flight,
And left us here below,
We know that God dealt all
things right.
And when death comes we too,
must go.
Well see her smiling face no
more,
Or hear her words of cheer.
But when we meet upon that
shore,
We will be with our friends, so
dear.
So let us make our peace with
God,
And fix our hopes above,
So we can meet with those we
always loved.
Written by her sister, Mrs.
Bertha Koontz, of Portsmouth,
Virginia.
