Carpenters Talk
At Council Meet
Of Baptists Here

DR.. and Mrs. L. L. Carpenter, of
Raleigh, were speakers at the
monthly Sunday school workers
council meeting of the First Baptist
church held Thursday evening at
South Lake lodge. Prior to the
council meeting, the workers and
guests enjoyed picnic supper.
Mrs. Carpenter spoke TO the group
one one of the items of the six-point
record system of the Sunday schools:
Did you bring your Bible?" She
stated that it was not so important
that the members brought their
Bibles to Sunday school, but that
they used them during the class pc
riod. She stressed the value of using
the Bible, whether brought by the
pupil or already placed in the
church for his use.
DIR. Carpenter, who is editor of the
Biblical Recorder, State Baptist jour-
nal, gave an inspirational address
during the evening session. He
stressed the fact that Sunday school
workers should take more interess
in the work by studying and prepar-
ing themselves for the position that
they held. He continued to say that
Christian workers should become
conscious Of the fact that they are
leaders in the United States and
throughout the world BY teaching
and living Christian life the for
eign countries would recognize this
Christian leadership, he said.

and thanked our every effort when
the long winter days with meal
planning, problem was put before
us. Every time a jar was opened
for the family's treat, it was with
memories of the summer past that
made this occasion an extra treat.
This year, the need of growing
and preserving food at home is
more critically important than ever.
To our fighting boys and to our
hungry Allies whose fields and
gardens have been looted-more
food must be prepared to send addi-
tional food overseas to them. Every
homemaker who cans when food is
abundant helps in making these
things possible.
Every effort is being made to
see that the necessary equipment
is available and that proper in
5tructions are given so that the
iob will be an easy one.
The recommended methods are
pressure cooker canning for nom
acid vegetables and water bath
canning for fruits and tomatoes.
Fruits and vegetables with all
their goodness preserved behind
glass walls will stand US in good
stead for the winter months that
are ahead.

Army 10 Guard Polls
As Mexicans Elect
New President Today
By the Associofed Press


MEXICO CITY, July s. - The
Army of Mexico, rifles and machine
guns at hand, will guard the polls
tomorrow in the federal govern
ment's first attempt to guarantee
an honest presidential election free
from bloodshed and gang violence
Nearly 100000 voters will choose
a president for the next six years
from four candidates: Miguel Ale
man, 42. former Secretary of the In
terror; Ezequiel Padilla. 46, former
Secretary of Foreign Affairs. Gen
Enrique Calderon, presented by the
Popular Revolutionary party. and
Gen. j. Agustin Castro, former Sec
retary of War.
In addition the voters will name
lat members for seats in the House
of Deputies and 56 for the Senate.
There are approximately 1000 can
didates for the lower house and 300
for the Senate. Deputies are elected
/ for three years and Senators for six.
/ Prediction violence has been at
a minimum.
( The polls will open at 9 am. and
close at pm. Soldiers will be on
duty at a m. to conduct election
officials to the voting places.
+ In the past. state governments
anG party gunmen have run elections
pretty much to suit themselves, but
! tomorrow for the first time in the
427 years since the Spaniards in
vaded Mexico the federal govern
ment is seeking to guarantee an cleo
ton free of corruption.
/ President Manuel Avila Camacho,
recalling the death of more than
! 100 persons and the wounding of
thousands in his election six years
ago, championed Mexico's new
honest election" law and called out
the army with the admonition that
none of the members of the armed
forces can be the servant of any
authority which hopes to win the
election through illegal means"
/ One newspaper declared that now
MeXicanS could vote without risk
ing their lives
Mr.. Aleman hopes with the power
of the government dominated InSti-
tutional Revolutionary party tPRD
to take the presidency on December
l. He is supported by both the PRI,
which includes almost every gov
eminent official, and the powerful
Mexican Federation of Labor, which
directs the political activity of many
of its members.
Mr., Alemans strongest opponent
is Mr.. Padilla, who served in Avila
CamaCho's cabinet with Mr.. Ale
man. Mr. Padilla has the backing
of the newly-organized Mexican
Democratic party (PDMD. He de-
riyeS much of his support from
Mexicans who. dissatisfied with the
political domination of the PRI
charge that Mr.. Aleman was i'm
posed on the people by strong
armed political tactics.
Mr.. Padilla also draws voting
strength from the devout Catholic
